A metal ion detector with a submicron size electrode was fabricated by field-induced AFM oxidation. The square frame of the mesa pattern was functionalized by APTES for the metal ion detection, and the remaining portion was used as an electrode by the self-assembly of MPTMS for Au metal deposition. The conductance changed with the quantity of adsorbed copper ions, due to electron tunneling between the mobile and surface electrodes. The smaller electrode has a lower limit of detection due to the enhancement in electron tunneling through metal ions that are adsorbed between the conductive-tip (mobile) and the surface (fixed) electrode. This two-electrode system immobilized with different functional groups was successfully used in the selective adsorption and detection of target materials.

In this paper, we propose a new Mushroom-like PBG concepts for designing with forbidden frequency band-gap at low frequency. These design rules are based on enhancing the capacitance per unit area using modified top-patch of mushroom PBG with no increase on the overall thickness of the substrate board. Also, in this paper, a new approach to suppress the surface wave from antenna is proposed by embedding compact mushroom PBG in the substrate. Comparisons between the results from a conventional patch antenna to a patch antenna on a PBG substrate show that the reduction in the surface wave level is remarkable. This can be observed in the radiation pattern and the maximum gain. The maximum gain for reference patch antenna is $6.43dB{\imath}$ at 5.37 GHz, while the maximum gain for the patch antenna with normal mushroom and vane mushroom PBG is $7.24dB{\imath}\;and\;7.53dB{\imath}$at 5.14 GHz. The back radiation is also considerably reduced; this will lead, of course, to an increase in the antenna efficiency.

To achieve the required services in the next-generation cellular telephone systems, the size of the cell become smaller and/or is of mixed macrocells and microcells. For more efficient system control, We make use of the mobile position and velocity information, provided that the mobility information is relatively accurate. In this paper, we propose an improved version of path-loss measurement algorithm introduced in literature[11]. The microcellular structure with severe multipath fading, reflection and refraction make mobile position and velocity estimation very difficult. In the proposed method, the pre-recorded path-loss informations, called the discrete position data base, are searched to estimate the position. Velocity estimation is obtained as a difference of the position values with respect to the time difference. Moving average filter is applied to smooth the estimated velocity and to reduce the error in the estimates. We also propose a method to simplify system implementation by reducing search area for discrete area database.

This study proposes the algorithm which drives the powerless without battery. The exiting wire or RF type dosimeter, which is the computation of the real time with battery on the dose radiation exposure, In the Wired dosimeter, it is trouble to need the maintenance and management by periods. Besides, the case of the RF typed dosimeter with battery, it is requested to size bigger and to replace battery frequently and so on. Especially RF typed dosimeter has trouble to need for the embody with large power consumption on the contactless typed dosimeter. As the method for the low power, the study designed to be down the operating clock of the MPC, to improve the efficiency of the rectifier, to eliminate the external memory and the DC-DC converter for the simplification of the circuit We convince our research contributes not only to understand the simplified circuit and miniaturization, but also to help the design and application technology of the powerless dosimeter.

In this thesis, studied the method to minimize the changes in frequency response and level due to the variation of the distance from the source to the microphone. selecting three microphones (omni directional, cardioid, super cardioid) which are being used generally, frequency responses were measured in accordance with the distance changes. Gotten the difference from the reference as the result of measurement, changed responses for each frequency range were compensated in comparison of the original human vocal source. In low frequency range, the low frequency boost caused by the proximity effect and decrease in accordance with the distance were compensated. The variation in mid-frequency range is comparatively small, however since the mid-range is the most important part of the human vocal signal, were compensated the mid-frequency range in comparison of the reference. The human vocal signal variation in high frequency range is extremely small and the high frequency is compensated close to the original source without difficulty. Understanding the microphone characteristics and compensations, this study showed that the response can be maintain among the change of the distance from the source to the microphone.

Kinect sensor version 2 is a kind of camera released by Microsoft as a computer vision and a natural user interface for game consoles like Xbox one. It allows acquiring color images, depth images, audio input and skeletal data with a high frame rate. In this paper, using depth image, we present a surveillance system of a certain area within Kinect's field of view. With computer vision library(Emgu CV), if an object is detected in the target area, it is tracked and kinect camera takes RGB image to send it in database server. Therefore, a mobile application on android platform was developed in order to notify the user that Kinect has sensed strange motion in the target region and display the RGB image of the scene. User gets the notification in real-time to react in the best way in the case of valuable things in monitored area or other cases related to a reserved zone.

In this paper, a compact microstrip-fed dual-band planar antenna for global positioning system (GPS) and mobile handset applications is presented. Dual operating frequency bands are achieved by an open end L-shaped slot and a bent rectangular slot. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on the FR4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.3, thickness of 1.6 mm and size of 57 × 57 ㎟. The measured impedance bandwidth (|S₁₁|≤ -10dB) of the fabricated antenna is 60 MHz(1550 ~ 1610 MHz) in the GPS band and 670 MHz (1690 ~ 2360 MHz) in the DCS / IMT-2000 band, covering the required bandwidths for GPS(1570 ~ 1580 MHz) and DCS / IMT-2000 (1710 ~ 2200 MHz) bands. In particular, it has been observed that antenna has a good omnidirectional radiation patterns as well as high gain of 2.36 dBi and its efficiency is more than 90 % over the entire frequency band of interest.

In this paper, a monopole antenna applicable to WLAN/WiMAX system is designed and fabricated. The proposed antenna is designed to have three lines and one slit based on microstrip feeding to have triple band characteristics. We optimized the lengths and slits of the three lines to obtain the required characteristics for this paper. The proposed antenna has $32.0mm(W2+W3){\times}47.1mm$ (L3+L4+L5+L8) on a dielectric substrate of $42.5mm(W1){\times}52mm(L1){\times}1.0mm$ size. From the fabrication and measurement results, bandwidths of 158 MHz (813 to 971MHz), 630 MHz (2.10 to 2.73GHz) and 1190 MHz (4.83 to 6.02GHz) were obtained based on the impedance bandwidth. The fabricated antenna also obtained the measured gain and radiation pattern in the required triple band.

A small size broadband microstrip patch antenna with small ground plane has been fabricated using MEMS. Multiple layer substrates we used to realize small size and broadband characteristics. The microstrip patch is divided into 4 pieces and each patch is connected to each other using a metal microstrip line. The fabrication please process is simple and only one mask is needed. Two types of microtrip antennas are fabrication Type A is the microstrip antenna with metal lines and type B is the microstrip antenna without metal lines.
