We made phase-referencing Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of Galactic 22 GHz $H_2O$ maser sources with VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA). We measured the parallax distances of G48.61+0.02, G48.99-0.30, G49.19-0.34, ON1, IRAS 20056+3350, IRAS 20143+3634, ON2N, and IRAS 20126+4104, which are located near the tangent point and the Solar circle. The angular velocity of the Galactic rotation at the LSR (i.e. the ratio of the Galactic constants) is derived using the measured parallax distances and proper motions of these sources. The derived value of ${\Omega}_0=28.8{\pm}1.7km\;s^{-1}kpc^{-1}$ is consistent with recent values obtained using VLBI astrometry but 10% larger than the International Astronomical Union (IAU) recommended value of $25.9km\;s^{-1}kpc^{-1}=(220km\;s^{-1})$ / (8.5 kpc).

본 논문은 지표면 현상의 관측에 날씨의 영향을 거의 받지 않는 마이크로파 L-밴드(1.95 GHz)와 C-밴드(5.3 GHz) scatterometer 시스템을 이용하여 농업과학기술원 내의 논에서 자라는 추청벼를 대상으로 2006년 5월 29일부터 10월 9일까지 생육에 따른 군락의 후방산란계수를 관측한 데이터와 작물의 생육과의 관계를 살펴보고 또한，측정 시스템의 개요，측정 시스템의 보정 방법들을 기술하고자 한다. Scatterometer 시스템의 송 수신기로 HP 8753D 벡터 네트워크 분석기를 사용하며，타워 위에 안테나를 설치하여 3.4 m의 높이에서 측정하도록 하였다. L-밴 드와 C-밴드 scatterometer는 VV-, VH-, HV-, HH-편파를 측정하여 fully polarimetric한 데이터를 얻도록 설계된 레이더시스템으로 입사각을 $30^{\circ}{\sim}60^{\circ}$에서 $10^{\circ}$간격으로 각각 30개의 독립적인 샘플을 측정하여 통계적으로 후방산란계수를 얻었다. 타워에서 발생하는 전파 잡음과 안테나 패턴의 부엽에 의한 지면에서의 수직반사(coherent 성분) 전파를 제거하기 위해 네트워크 분석기의 time gating 기능을 사용하며，55 cm 크기의 trihedral 전파반사기를 보정용 반사기로 사용하고， STCT(single target calibration technique) 방법을 이용하여 시스템을 보정하였다. 측정 결과를 분석하여 주파수， 입사각도， 편파의 변화에 대한 벼의 후방산란 특성과 벼의 생육상태과의 관계를 살펴보았다. L-밴드와 C-밴드 모두 벼의 생육과 밀접한 결과를 나타내었으나，입사각이 작을 때는 C-밴드와의 상관이 높게 나타났고 입사각이 커질수록 L-밴드와의 상관이 높게 나타났다. 편파는 L-밴드 와 C-밴드 모두 hh 편파가，입사각은 50도에서 가장 생육의 변이를 잘 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 생육 데이터 모두를 이용한 경우보다는 유수형성기 또는 출수기 등 벼 생육의 질적인 변화를 보이는 시기에 따라 나누어 분석하는 것이 변화추이를 더 잘 설명하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this theses, the procedure for finding the equivalent immittance of an n-line coupled structures is presented in terms of the normal mode parameters of the n-line coupled system. The above generalized equations can be applied to the various Coupled structures including directional couplers, DC blocks, bandpass/band elimination filters, and various other uniformly coupled filters. The design equations are based on a simplified TEM(Quasi TEM) mode. The obtained results and the definition of the scattering parameters for a general coupled line four port with arbitrary terminations are used to present the procedure to determine the optimum physical dimensions matching the given load impedances connected to input, output port. Multiple coupled rnicrostrip two-port with three lines circuit designed shows little discrepancy between the conventional method and this one. Four port with five lines were fabricated on teflon substrate($e$r=2.55) with its thickness h=l.588mm designed at the center frequency, 4 GHz. Their measured results are fairly close to the ones by computation.

A new type low-pass filter design method based on a coupled line and transmission line theory is proposed to suppress harmonics by attenuation poles in the stop band The design formula are derived using the equivalent circuit of a coupled transmission line. The new low-pass filter structure is shown to have attractive properties such as compact size, wide stop band range and low insertion loss. The seventh-order low-pass filter designed by present method Ins a cutoff frequency of 0.9 GHz with a 0.01 dB ripple level. The coupled line type low-pass filter with stripline configuration was fabricated by using a high-temperature superconducting (HTS ; $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$) thin film on MgO(100) substrate. Since the HTS coupled line type low-pass filter was proposed with five attenuation poles in stop band such as 1.8, 2.5, 4, 5.5, 62 GHz. The fabricated low-pass filter has improved the attenuation characteristics up to seven times of the cutoff frequency Bemuse of good rejection of the spurious signals and harmonics, our low-pass filter is applicable to mobile base station systems such as cellular, personal communication systems and international mobile telecommunication(IMT)-2000 systems.

In this paper, the EM wave absorber was designed and fabricated for the collision-avoidance radar as a basic sensor of ITS(Intelligence Transport System), because radar system has some problems including false image and system-to-system interference. We fabricated some samples in different composition ratio of Carbon and CPE, and defined that optimum composition ratio of Carbon and CPE was 20:80 wt%. The complex relative permittivity was calculated by the measured data. And absorption abilities were simulated according to different thickness of the EM wave absorbers using the complex relative permittivity. The EM wave absorber was manufactured based on the simulated design. Simulated and measured results agree very well. As a result, the developed EM wave absorber with the thickness of 2 mm has absorption ability over 20 dB in frequency range of $76{\sim}77$ GHz.

In this study, development of a new LTCC material using non-glassy system was attempted with repsect to reducing the fabrication process steps and cost down. Lowering the sintering temperature can be achieved by liquid phase sintering. However, presence of liquid phases usually decrease dielectric properties, especially the quality factor. Therefore, the starting material must have quality factor as high as possible in microwave frequency range. And also, the material should have a low dielectric constant for enhancing the signal propagation speed. Regarding these factors, dielectric constants of various materials were estimated by the Clausius-Mosotti equation. Among them, $ZnWO_4$ was turned out the suitable LTCC material. $ZnWO_4$ can be sintered up to 98% of full density at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. It's measured dielectric constant, quality factor, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency were 15.5, 74380GHz, and $-70ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively. In order to modify the dielectric properties and densification temperature, $B_{2}O_{3}$ and $V_{2}O_{5}$ were added to $ZnWO_4$. 40 mol% $B_{2}O_{3}$ addition reduced the dielectric constant from 15.5 to 12. And the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency was improved from -70 to $-7.6ppm/^{\circ}C$. However, sintering temperature did not change due to either lack of liquid phase or high viscosity of liquid phase. Incorporation of small amount of $V_{2}O_{5}$ in $ZnWO_{4}-B_{2}O_{3}$ system enhanced liquid phase sintering. 0.1 wt% $V_{2}O_{5}$ addition to the $0.6ZnWO_{4}-0.4B_{2}O_{3}$ system, reduced the sintering temperature down to $950^{\circ}C$. Dielectric constant, quality factor, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency were 9.5, 16737GHz, and $-21.6ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

This paper presents a two-stage power amplifier MMIC using a $0.4{\mu}m$ GaN-HEMT process. The two-stage structure provides high gain and compact circuit size using an integrated inter-stage matching network. The size and loss of the inter-stage matching network can be reduced by including bond wires as part of the matching network. The two-stage power amplifier MMIC was fabricated with a chip size of $2.0{\times}1.9mm^2$ and was mounted on a $4{\times}4$ QFN carrier for evaluation. Using a downlink LTE signal with a PAPR of 6.5 dB and a channel bandwidth of 10 MHz for the 2.6 GHz band, the power amplifier MMIC exhibited a gain of 30 dB, a drain efficiency of 32%, and an ACLR of -31.4 dBc at an average output power of 36 dBm. Using two power amplifier MMICs for the carrier and peaking amplifiers, a Doherty power amplifier was designed and implemented. At a 6 dB back-off output power level of 39 dBm, a gain of 24.7 dB and a drain efficiency of 43.5% were achieved.

Buried-heterostructure lasers are more difficult to fabricate than weakly index guided or gain guided lasers. However, these strongly index guided structures are most suitable for a source of lightwave transmission systems. But, for conventional etched mesa buried heterostructure lasers, the regrowth of InP blocking layer is difficult and irreproducible. So, there are inevitable leakage currents flowing outside the active region resulting poor performance. To eliminate these problems, we used a planar buried heterostructure. As a results, the average threshold current was 28mA and the differential quantum efficiency was about 20% per facet for $1.3\mum$ GaInAsP/InP PBH-LD. The initial forward leakage current was not exceeding $1\muA$ and the reverse voltage for $-10\muA$ was -3V~-5V, these are improved figure of 1mA~10mA and -1V~-3V for EMBH laser diode. The chip modulation bandwidth was more than 2.4GHz for $1.5I_th$.

With the development of electromagnetic communication technology and increased use of electromagnetic wave, the countermeasure of EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) becomes more important socially, and interest for the electromagnetic wave absorber has also increased. In this paper, we have studied characteristics of frequency dependency on complex permittivity and complex permeability according to the changes of composition rate and sintering temperature of NiCuZn ferrite also known as electromagnetic wave absorber and further looked into effect of electromagnetic wave absorption properties. From the measurement where the composition of $Fe_2O_3$ and ZnO of NiCuZn ferrite was fixed at 49 and 34 mol% respectively while composition of NiO and CuO has been varied at each test, we found out that Initial permeability and permittivity were high and the absorbing ability of electromagnetic wave recorded best with $loss tangent(=\mur"/\mur')$ displays more than 1 within the frequency band of 2MHz~9.5MHz when the composition ratio of NiO was ranged around 8.5~9.5 mol% and the sintering temperature was $1080^{\circ}C$.TEX>.
