In this paper, we studied the RF characteristics of a voltage-controlled artificial transmission line employing periodically arrayed diodes for application to highly miniaturized wireless communication systems on an MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit). According to the results, the novel voltage-controlled artificial transmission line employing periodically arrayed diodes exhibited a short wave length, which was only 35.2% that of the conventional transmission line, owing to increasing capacitance. In addition, it's effective permittivity and effective propagation constant exhibited considerably higher values than those of the conventional transmission line. Furthermore, attenuation constant of the voltage-controlled artificial transmission line was far higher than that of the conventional transmission line. Using the closed-form equation, we theoretically analyzed the equivalent circuit of the voltage-controlled artificial transmission line.

In this paper, we propose VATL(Voltage-controlled Artificial Transmission Line) employing periodically loaded diodes for application to on-chip matching components on MMIC. Compared with conventional microstrip line, the VATL showed a much shorter wave length due to periodic capacitance of diodes, and the characteristic impedance of the VATL was easily controlled bγ changing supplied voltage. Concretely, the characteristic impedance of the VATL was changed from $80{\sim}20{\Omega}$ in a range of $0{\sim}1.05V$ and the VATL showed a wavelength of 1.5mm at 20GHz, while conventional microstrip line showed a wavelength of 5.3mm at the same frequency. Using the VATL, a ${\lambda}/4$ impedance transformer was fabricated on GaAs MMIC for application to on-chip matching components on MMIC. Using the ${\lambda}/4$ impedance transformer made it possible to perform impedance matching between RF components with various characteristic impedance of $30{\sim}100{\Omega}$ by adjusting applied Voltage.

GaN 기반의 InGaN/GaN 다중양자우물(MQW) 구조의 발광다이오드는 다양한 파장대의 가시광을 방출하는 소자로 교통 신호등, 디스플레이, LCD backlight, 일반 조명까지 넓게 응용되고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 응용을 위해서는 전류 주입 효율, 내부양자효율, 광추출 효율을 개선하는 연구를 통한 발광 다이오드의 광효율을 높이는 연구가 필수적이다. 최근 많은 연구 개발에 의해 내부양자효율은 크게 향상 되었지만, 광추출 효율은 GaN (n=2.4)와 공기 (n=1)의 굴절률 차이에 의해 아직까지 낮은 실정이다. 광추출 효율을 개선하기 위해 반사전극, 전방향 반사전극, 표면 거칠기, Chip 성형 등의 기술이 제안되고 있다. 본 연구는 LED의 광추출 효율을 높이기 위해 다양한 모양의 Hydrothermal 법에 의해 성장된 ZnO 나노 구조 및 나노스피어 리소그라피를 통한 폴리스티렌 나노 구체의 주기적인 배열에 따른 특성을 연구하였다.

In this study, we have fabricated a gain flattened erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier. Gain flattening filters were realized by the strain-induced long period fiber gratings, which are made of periodically arrayed metal wires. Using the filter of $550{\mu}m$ period, spontaneous emission amplified at C-band wavelength by a 980nm pumping laser was flattened within 1dB of gain ripple. The performance of the simultaneous multi channel amplification was measured using a fabry-perot laser diode. Amplification ratio was above 20dB. This amplifier can be applied to the long distance transmission system based on a wavelength division multiplexing for boosting an attenuated signal.

This paper presents the description of a 4-bit digital p-i-n diode phase shifter that was designed for quasimillimeter wave band satellite receiver to use in phased-array systems. 180$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$ cells are designed in reflection type that consists of a 3-dB rat-race hybrid coupler, 45$^{\circ}$ and 22.5$^{\circ}$ cells are designed in loaded-line type to reduce the size of circuit and the number of diode to be used. The 4-bit phase shifter uses eight p-i-n diodes mounted in the microstrip circuit. The average insertion loss for the 16 phase states is 6.92dB over the 19.8~20.3 GHz band and maximum phase error is 6.2$^{\circ}$ at 20 GHz.

The gated RapidArc may produce a dosimetric error due to the stop-and-go motion of heavy gantry which can misalign the gantry restart position and reduce the accuracy of important factors in RapidArc delivery such as MLC movement and gantry speed. In this study, the effect of stop-and-go motion in gated RapidArc was analyzed with varying gating window time, which determines the total number of stop-and-go motions. Total 10 RapidArc plans for treatment of liver cancer were prepared. The RPM gating system and the moving phantom were used to set up the accurate gating window time. Two different delivery quality assurance (DQA) plans were created for each RapidArc plan. One is the portal dosimetry plan and the other is MapCHECK2 plan. The respiratory cycle was set to 4 sec and DQA plans were delivered with three different gating conditions: no gating, 1-sec gating window, and 2-sec gating window. The error between calculated dose and measured dose was evaluated based on the pass rate calculated using the gamma evaluation method with 3%/3 mm criteria. The average pass rates in the portal dosimetry plans were $98.72{\pm}0.82%$, $94.91{\pm}1.64%$, and $98.23{\pm}0.97%$ for no gating, 1-sec gating, and 2-sec gating, respectively. The average pass rates in MapCHECK2 plans were $97.80{\pm}0.91%$, $95.38{\pm}1.31%$, and $97.50{\pm}0.96%$ for no gating, 1-sec gating, and 2-sec gating, respectively. We verified that the dosimetric accuracy of gated RapidArc increases as gating window time increases and efforts should be made to increase gating window time during the RapidArc treatment process.
