LTCC 소재로 응용을 위해 Mg-Si-O계 세라믹스에 glass frit을 첨가하여 소결 및 마이크로파 유전특성에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. $Mg_2SiO_4$를 기본조성으로 하고 $B_2O_3-ZnO-Na_2O-SiO_2-Al_2O_3$계 glass를 20~40wt%로 첨가하여 $900^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 소결하였을 때 glass 함량이 증가함에 따라 밀도$(g/cm^3)$ 및 유전율$(\varepsilon_r)$은 증가하였고 품질계수$(Q{\times}f_0)$ 값은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. $900^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 소결한 소결체의 유전특성은 유전율 $(\varepsilon_r)$ = 6.5, 품질계수 $(Q{\times}f_0)$ = 4,000(GHz), 온도계수 $({\tau}_f)={\pm}10ppm/^{\circ}C$로 우수한 특성을 확인하였다. 그리고 Glass Milling 효과에 따른 glass-ceramics 소결체의 미세구조, 마이크로파 유전특성을 비교 고찰하였다.

ZnWO$_4$shows excellent frequency selectivity due to its high quality factor(Q${\times}$f) at microwave frequencies. However, in order to use ZnWO$_4$as multilayered wireless communication components, its other properties such as sintering temperature(105$0^{\circ}C$). $$\tau$_f$(-70ppm/$^{\circ}C$) and $$\varepsilon$_r$(15.5) should be modified. In present study, TiO$_2$and LiF were used to improve the microwave dielectric and sintering properties of ZnWO$_4$. TiO$_2$ additions to ZnWO$_4$changed $\tau$$_{f}$ from negative to positive value, and also increased $$\varepsilon$_r$, due to its high $$\tau$_f$(＋400ppm$^{\circ}C$) and $$\varepsilon$_r$(100). At 20 mol% TiO$_2$ addition, $$\tau$_f$was controlled to near zero ppm/$^{\circ}C$ with $$\varepsilon$_r$=19.4 and Q${\times}$ f=50000GHz. However, the sintering temperature was 110$0^{\circ}C$. LiF addition to the ZnWO$_4$＋TiO$_2$ mixture greatly reduced the sintering temperature from 110$0^{\circ}C$ to 85$0^{\circ}C$ due to liquid phase formation. Also LiF addition decreased the $$\tau$_f$value due to its high negative $$\tau$_f$ value. Therefore, by controlling the TiO$_2$and LiF amount. temperature stable LTCC(Low Temperature Cofired Ceramics) material with low loss in the ZnWO$_4$-TiO$_2$-LiF system could be fabricated.d.d.

현재 급격히발전하는 이동통신기술로 미루어 보아 앞으로는 모든 정보통신이 무선통신으로 이루어질 것이다. 그런데 무선통신은 이동성과 대용량의 정보전송에 초점을 맞추어 발전하고 있다. 많은 정보량을 전달하기 위해서 현재 사용되는 주파수 대역보다 고주파의 전파가 사용되어야 한다. 또한 이동성을 향상시키기 위해서는 통신기기의 소형화를 이루어야 하고 그러기 위해서 궁극적으로 모든 소자를 하나의 칩(chip)으로 집적화하는 것이 필요하다. 따라서 벌크상태로 사용되고 있는 유전체 공진기를 소형화, 즉 박막화해야만 한다. 결국 유전체 박막의 마이크로파 대역에서의 유전특성을 연구하고 그 특성을 향상시켜야만 한다. 통신기기에서 사용되는 유전체 공진기는 소형화를 위해 높은 유전율과 낮은 유전손실(tan$\delta$), 즉 높은 품질계수 (Q)를 가져야 한다. 마이크로파 대역에서 사용되고 있는 유전체 중에서 TiO2는 벌크 상태의 rutile 상에서 100정도의 높은 유전율과, 4 GHz에서 10,000 정도의 높은 품질계수를 나타낸다고 보고되어 있다. 따라서 본 연궁서는 TiO2 박막의 마이크로파 유전특성을 연구하였고 anatase 박막의 유전특성도 측정하였다. TiO2 박막을 RF magnetron reactive sputtering 방법으로 Ar (15 sccm)과 O2 (1.5 sccm) 기체를 사용하여 상온에서 증착하였다. 4mTorr의 증착압력에서 안정한 rutile 박막을 얻었고, 15 mTorrdo서 준안정한 anatase 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 그 중간의 압력에서 두 상이 혼합된 박막이 증착되었다. 위와 같은 방법으로 형성한 TiO2 박막의 마이크로파 유전특성을 측정하기 위해 마이크로스트립 링공진기 (microstrip ring resonator)를 제작하였다. 마이크로스트립 링 공진기는 링의 원주길이가 전자기파 파장길이의 정수배가 되면 공진이 일어나는 구조이다. Fused quartz를 기판으로 하여 증착압력을 변수로 하여 TiO2 박막을 증착하였다. 그리고 그 위에 은 (silver)을 사용하여 링 패턴을 형성하였다. 이와 같이 공진기를 제작하여 network analyzer (HP 8510C)로 마이크로파 대역에서의 공진특서을 측정하였다. 공진특성으로부터 전체 품질계수와 유효유전율, 그리고 TiO2 박막의 품질계수를 얻어내었다. 측정결과 rutile에서 anatase로 박막의 상이 변할수록 유전율은 감소하고 유전손실은 증가하는 결과를 나타내었다.

Microwave dielectric properties have been investigated in the$(1-x)CaTiO_3-xYAlO_3$ (x=0.1~1.0) solid solution system. The mixtures of $CaTiO_3$ and $YalO_3$using solid state method were sintered at various temperatures. Their dielectric constants and related temperature coefficients were strongly depend on the composition of the solid solution. The optimum properties were recorded as for ${\varepsilon}_r=47,$ $Q{\times}f_0$=35000 and ${\tau}_f=+11ppm/^{\circ}C$ without sintering agent. Even at $1200^{\circ}C$ full densification has been achieved with addition of $CaB_2O_4$ in the $0.75CaTiO_3-0.25YalO_3$ composition. The sample of $0.3 wt%-CaB_2O_4$ added $ 0.75CaTiO_3-0.25YalO_3$ sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 3 h showed optimum microwave dielectric properties of ${\varepsilon}_r=47$, $Q{\time}f_0=37000$ and ${\tau}_f=+17ppm/^{\circ}C$, which demonstrates the promising candidates for microwave dielectric materials covering 5~7 GHz range.

In this paper, we fabricated thick film monopole antennas using Bi$_2$O$_3$-doped BaTi$_4$$O_{9}$ ceramics for small size and broadband intenna. In the result, the high permittivity was fixed and the quality factor was also significantly decreased by the formation of secondary phase of Bi$_4$Ti$_3$O$_{12}$ repleced by addtion Bi. The antenna property influenced by the quality value more than the permittivity. The bandwidth of antenna was increased to 33 %. On the other hand, the gain was reduced to -4.3 dBi. Also radiation patterns were showed low dBi value by increasing of dielectric loss. Specially, Measured x-y plane radiation patterns was distorted as the dispersion of wavelength and high permittivity difference. But the result is showed execellent bandwidth because of low quality value in all formation range.nge.

To better understand how to increase a ginseng grower's revenue, a 4-factor revenue determination model (RDM) of raw ginseng production (R=A Y Q P) was proposed. The total revenue (R) is a multiplicative function of four factors: cultivation area(A), unit yield (Y), quality grade (Q) and unit price (P). The A appears to be a pure capital factor. Y and Q are technological factors and P is social and market factor. When P is constant, the technological term (YQ) is the revenue per unit area (R/A) production efficiency per capital. The RDM appears to be a linear model between R and A with the slope [YQ]. RDM was applied to three farmers' raw ginseng production for assessment of its dependency on capital and technological factors.

Satisfactory e-learning experience of working part-time adult students is a truly dynamic and multidimensional process that reflects learning needs and abilities. Special attention is given to understanding the role of student-to-faculty interaction, student-to-student interaction, e-learning content and course structure, flow, periodic off-line class meetings and synchronous Q&A sessions. Survey questions were developed and distributed to adult graduate students. Some of them were asked to complete the questions with the most interesting subjects or classes in their mind, and others with the most difficult subjects in their mind. The structural model for each group was tested. The values of path coefficients corresponding to the group with the difficult subjects turn out to be higher for the following paths; a) interaction among professors and students and satisfaction, b) contents quality and flow, c) Q&A and interaction among professors and students, d) Q&A and interaction among students. For the other paths such as interaction among students and satisfaction, contents structure and flow, the coefficient values corresponding to the group with the interesting subjects are higher. Some implications for e-learning design were provided as well.

In this study, new LTCC materials of $ZnWO_4$-LiF system were developed for the application to RF Module fabrication. Pure $ZnWO_4$ must be sintered above $1050^{\circ}C$ in order to obtain up to 98% of full density. The measured dielectric constant ($\epsilon_r$)quality factor ($Q{\times}f0$), and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ($\tau_f$ were 15.5, 74000 GHz, and $-70ppm^{\circ}C$, respectively. LiF addition resulted in a liquid phase formation at 81$0^{\circ}C$ due to interaction between ZnWO$_4$ and LiF. Therefore, ZnWO$_4$ with 0.5∼1.5 wt% LiF could be densified at $850^{\circ}C$. In the given LiF addition range, the sintering shrinkage increased with increasing LiF content. Addition of LiF slightly lowered the dielectric constant from 15.5 to 14.2∼15 due to lower dielectric constant of LiF. Qxfo value decreased with increasing LiF content. This can be explained in terms of the interaction between LiF and $ZnWO_4$, and inhomogeneity of grain structure.

초음파 산업분야에 널리 사용되고 있는 PZT 압전 세라믹 진동자의 경우 높은 품질계수로 인하여 대역폭이 좁고, 진동 시 두께방향 진동뿐만 아니라 횡방향 진동으로 인하여 초음파 신호를 분석하는데 여러 가지 어려움이 항상 존재하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PZT 세라믹스와 고분자 재료인 Epoxy를 사용하여 1-3 접속도를 갖는 압전 복합재료를 제조하였다. 이를 이용하여 초음파 트랜스듀서를 제작하였고, 이에 대한 전기음향변환능률을 어드미턴스 loop를 측정하여 구하였다. 유전율, 공진 주파수 등을 포함한 기본적인 트랜스듀서의 파라메터들은 공진 부근에서 전기적인 임피던스로부터 측정하였다. 이러한 파라메터들을 적용하여 주파수에 대한 트랜스듀서의 성능을 평가하였다. Pulse-echo법을 이용하여 삽입손실율을 구하고 임펄스 반응을 통하여 주파수 대역폭에 대해서 측정하였다. 그 결과 어드미턴스 loop로부터 두께방향모드를 제외한 횡방향 모드는 거의 나타나지 않았다. 유전율은 5.25㎊m이었고, 공진주파수 1.65MHz에서 -8dB의 최소 손실이 발생하였다. 주파수대역폭은 -6dB에서 64%(Q ; 1.56)의 대역폭이 측정되었고 전기기계 결합계수는 0.54이고 전기기계변환능률은 52%, 기계음향변환능률은 31%로 측정되었다.
