For th aim of lightweight microwave absorbers, conductive and magnetic microspheres are fabricated by plating of Co films on hollow ceramic microspheres of low density. Metal plating was carried out in a two-step electroless plating process (pre-treatment of activation and plating). Uniform coating of the film with about $2{\~}3{\cal}um$ thickness was identified by SEM. High-frequency magnetic and microwave absorbing properties were determined in the rubber composites containing the Co-coated microspheres. Due to conductive and ferromagnetic behavior of the Co thin films, high dielectric constant and magnetic loss can be obtained in the microwave frequencies. Due to those electromagnetic properties, high absorption rate (25 dB) and thin matching thickness ($2.0{\~}2.5{\cal}mm$) are predicted in the composite layers containing the metal-coated microspheres of low density (about 0.84 g/cc) for the electromagnetic radiation in microwave frequencies.

The radio wave propagation characteristics of the transmitter and receiver position change in the indoor environment were predicted through simulation, then the results obtained through the transmission loss measurement were compared and analyzed with the simulation results. The conference room was chosen as the environment for measuring transmission loss, and the radio transmission characteristics of the two environments were compared by selecting the exhibition hall without interior decorations and fixtures. In each indoor environment, the position of the transmitter chose two cases. One located in the center of the front wall and the other in the center of the side wall, and the position of the receiver moved along the centerline of the conference room and the side wall, measuring the receiving power. For each change in transmitter-receiver position, received power of 3GHz and 6GHz band were measured and compared with the simulation forecast results. The changes in received power at each receiving point were analyzed according to the location of the transmitter and the frequency band variation.

In this paper, a program that can be utilized to measure and analyze radio propagation characteristics is developed. This program is able to control the measurement instruments including spectrum analyzer through GPIB interface and analyze the measured data to yield mean excess delay and RMS delay spread. The measured path loss can be compared with theoretical value in free space or inside a tunnel. The measured and analyzed results can also be presented in the forms of graphs. As these tasks can be conducted on the spot of the measurements, this program is very helpful in performing and verifying the measurements immediately. In this thesis radio propagation characteristics with frequency bands of 2.45 and 5.8GHz in subway tunnels are measured by using the program. Path loss and delay spread in subway tunnel is measured and compared according to the form of antenna beam and LOS(Line of Sight) and N-LOS(Non-Line of Sight).

In this paper, we proposed a RSSI based cooperative localization algorithm considering wireless propagation characteristics in indoor environment for wireless sensor networks, which can estimate the BN position. The conventional RSSI based estimation scheme has low precision ranging according to time variable propagation characteristics. Hence, we implemented ray-launching simulator for analysis of propagation characteristics in $13.65m{\times}8.7m$, and performed proposed localization scheme with 4 RN and 1 to 5 BN. From the results, if we can consider channal characteristic in proposed ranging scheme, the cooperative localization algorithm with propagation characteristics provides higher localization accuracy than RSSI based conventional one.

This study performed to investigate the propagation characteristics of overpressure, impulse, vibration in underwater blasting. The difference between air blasting and underwater blasting is that noise and vibration propagate through water as a medium. In some cases, the noise and vibration propagates through various media (rock, water, air, etc.). In this study, the underwater blasting was simulated using AUTODYN, and the propagation characteristics of overpressure, impulse and vibration induced by blasting were analyzed. We mainly focused on the effect of mesh size on the overpressure, impulse and peak particle velocity from the underwater blasting simulation. The numerical results indicated that the overpressure and peak particle velocity tended to decrease as the mesh size increased, while the impulse increased with the mesh size. The results also indicated that the mesh dependence varied depending on the explosive charge and scaled distance.

When electromagnetic waves propagate through atmosphere, waves are affected by various factors. Atmosphere normally consists of different molecular species, water vapours, rain, fog, snow and small suspended particles called aerosols. The distributions of atmosphere molecules, water vapours, rain rate, snowfall and aerosol are dependent on geometrical regions or environment. In order to predict propagation characteristics in atmospheric environment, statistical analysis of the relevant parameters such as temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, areosol and rainfall is crucial. In this paper, we performed a long-term statistical analysis for the atmospheric parameters in domestic environments and analyzed the propagation characteristics through atmosphere based on that.

Guided ultrasonic waves propagating over long distances within a short period provide a fast long-range inspection method. However, structures with arbitrary cross-sections, such as rails, have complicated dispersion characteristics that make analysis of the ultrasonic signal difficult. Therefore, an understanding of the characteristics of the propagating waves in rails is important for the creation of a reliable and practical inspection system using guided waves. In particular, it is necessary to investigate the dispersion characteristics of the guided waves. This paper introduces a method for the calculation of the dispersion curves of KS60 rails by adopting a SAFE method, and discusses the possibility of using guided waves as a technique for rail inspection.

Zr-2.5%Nb 합금에서 응력방향에 따른 DHC특성의 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 판상의 CT시편을 이용하여 수소를 200 ppm 주입하고 응력을 압력관의 길이 방향으로 가하고 notch를 윈주방향으로 한 경우와 원주방향으로 응력을 가하고 notch를 길이 방향으로 한 경우의 균열전파속도를 측정하여 본 결과 길이 방향으로 응력을 가하였을 때 균열전파속도가 1/100 정도 감소하였으며, 균열발생을 위한 임계응력확대계수도 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 균열전파 방향도 원주방향으로 응력을 가하였을 때는 균열이 precrack을 따라 그대로 진행되었으나, 응력을 길이 방향으로 가하였을 때는 precrack을 따라 균열이 전파되지 못하고 균열분리 현상을 보였다 이것은 원래 모재가 보유하고 있는 집합조직과, 응력에의하여 수소화물이 재배열할 때 기존의 a상에서의 특정 방향 관계를 유지하여 석출함으로써 균열이 수소화물을 따라 전파됨이 원인인 것으로 생각된다. 응력을 원주방향으로 가하였을 때 균열주위에 수소화물이 길게 석출하지만, 응력을 길이 방향으로 기하였을 때는 수소화물이 20$\mu\textrm{m}$ 정도의 작은 크기로 분리된 균열과 같은 방향으로 분포하고 있음을 관찰하였다. 이로부터 집합조직을 개량함으로써 DHC저항성에 대한 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있었고 DHCV model에서 방향성을 수소화물의 재배열인자로부터 고려할 필요성이 있음을 알게 되었다.

In this paper microwave power propagated through the cold plasma was analyzed and measured with respect to the external magenetic flux density. The d. c discharge plasma was in the rectangular waveguide in which two electrode was inserted, and also the glass diseharge tube inserted in the ractangular wavegside. The direction of microwave pro-pagation, the axis of the discharge tube and external magnetic flux were perpendicular to each other. It showed that the attenuation and absorption of micro wave power propagated in the plasma was increased as the magnetic flux density, the discharge current and the pressure of the gas were increased.

In the conventional star coupler, a certain amount of loss should be expected because lateral diffraction is used for the power distribution. In this paper, we propose a new design of a low loss star coupler which employs UV-written tapered waveguides and an AWG based on the low loss star couplers, and investigate their various characteristics. The loss of the UV-written star coupler is lower than that of the conventional star coupler, and the AWG device based on the UV-written star couplers shows low loss characteristics.
