진공 chamber 내부 plasma를 외부에서 view port를 통한 확인 및 촬영보다 효율을 높이기 위하여 chamber 내부에 무선 camera (IVC : internal vacuum camera)를 삽입하여 더 세밀하게 plasma를 촬영하였고 view port로 확인이 불가능한 부분을 촬영 및 녹화하였다. 외부 view port로 확인할 수 없는 원거리 플라즈마 소스 (remote plasma source, RPS)와 in-line type의 chamber에서 동적 (dynamic) 증착이 이루어지는 substrate에 camera를 부착하여 이동 중 target 위쪽에 방전된 plasma, ICP (inductively coupled plasma) antenna를 진공 중 chamber 내부에서 촬영 및 녹화하였다.

This paper discusses the design of self-oscillating mixer type low noise down converter using the microwave field effect transistor. The mixer is consists of local oscillator in which high stability dielectric resonator and band pass filter to get rid of spurious oscillation at intermediate frequency stage. The microstrip antenna was integrated in the same substrate which generate 12.3GHz and low noise amplifier was also added after antenna using 3 stage of high electron mobility transistors. The output frequency from the local oscillator was chosen as 11.3GHz for the Ku-band application. The measured phase noise was -804dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset frequency, and the gain was 7～12dB in frequency range from 12.0GHz to 12.7GHz. The noise figure at intermediate frequency stage was 64H. The designed model shows less conversion loss than previous diode type mixer. The proposed mixer can be used in digital satellite broadcasting and communication system and expected to use in next generation low noise block design.

In applying high-${\underline{T_c}}$ superconducting material to microwave devices, Uncertainty of electromagnetics of high-${\underline{T_c}}$ superconductor(HTS) and the temperature dependence of the substrate fits with HTS thin film cause difficulty in realization of such antenna for industrial applications. It must be noted to characteristic the HTS antenna in contrast with normal conducting counterpart for this real application. In this paper, a comparative study between HTS microstrip antennas and gold antennas was reported in terms of the return loss, the characteristic impedance, efficiency, and other various characteristics. HTS thin films were $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) on MgO substrates. Superconducting microstrip antennas used in this work were to directly inset a microstrip transmission line into the 50 ${\Omega}$ region of the radiating patch. Measurement results of HTS antennas and gold antennas showed that usable antennas can be made using this architecture.

In this paper, an optimum size for the inset cut feed of microstrip antennas has been determined by using the finite-difference time domain method. At first, the return losses of microstrip antennas having various shapes and types of the inset cut feeds have been computed numerically for a given frequency and a substrate. Then an optimum size of the inset cut feed has been determined by iterative computation procedure for a given condition. It was found that the optimum width of the inset cut feed is about 0.42 times of the width of 50Ω feed line and the optimum length of the inset cut feed is about 0.36 times of the length of the antenna patch. These results are proved by the experimental data obtained from the measurements of many fabricated antennas. It was also found that the optimum size of the inset cut feed is independent on the frequency, the height and the dielectric constant of the antennal substrate.

A simple closed form approximation is developed by a new approach presented in this paper for the microstrip surface dyadic Green's function which arises in the problem of an electric current point source on an infinite planar grounded dielectric substrate. This closed form approximation includes the effects of the space wave, the surface wave and their coupling within the transition region near the source, and remains accurate as near as $0.1{\pi}_1$ from the source point for a substrate thickness as large as $0.04{\pi}_1$, where, ${\pi}_1$, is the free space wavelength, This result can significantly facilitate the rigorous moment method analysis of microstrip antenna arrays on relatively this substrates of practical interest. Numerical results illustrating the accuracy of the closed form approximation are presented and CPU times associated with some mutual impedance calculations are also included.

In the present study, a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed printed monopole antenna with an inverted n-shaped slot is newly proposed for dual band operations which cover bandwidths of CDMA (1.85~2.025 GHz) and WLAN (2.4~2.484 GHz) as well as implementation of omnidirectional radiation pattern. For enhancement of impedance bandwidth ($S11{\leq}10dB$) in 2.4 GHz WLAN frequency band, an inverted n-shaped slot instead of the previous n-shaped slot is etched on the printed radiating monopole. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on one side of FR4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4, thickness of 1.6 mm, and size of $50{\times}25mm^2$. It has been observed that the measured impedance bandwidths are 280 MHz (1.84~2.12 GHz) in frequency band of CDMA and 420 MHz (2.38~2.8 GHz) in WLAN frequency band respectively. It is noticeable that impedance bandwidth in 2.4 GHz frequency band of WLAN is enlarged to three times due to use of inverted L-shaped slot in comparison with impedance bandwidth 140 MHz (2.39~2.53 GHz) obtained by use of the previous n-shaped slot. In addition, good omnidirectional radiation patterns have been observed over the entire frequency band of interest.

In this paper, we designed a four-band antenna that can be applied to WLAN and WiMAX systems by designing a microstrip feeding structure, four branch lines and a slit on the ground plane. The proposed antenna is designed with a size of 16.0 mm (W1) × 48.0 mm (L8) on a dielectric substrate of 18.0 mm (W) × 50.0 mm (L) × 1.0 mm(h). and a slit of 2.9 mm (W7) × 4.0 mm (L7) is inserted into the ground plane of 18.0 mm (W) × 18.7 mm (L6). Based on -10 dB production and measurement results, it obtained 60.8 MHz (8,730~9,338 MHz), 310 MHz (2.33~2.64 GHz) in the 2.4 GHz band, 420MHz (3.39~3.81 GHz) in the 3.4 GHz band, and 2,070 MHz (4.62~6.69 GHz) in the 5.0 GHz. In addition, the gain and radiation pattern characteristics of the quadrant band are measured from the measurement results anechoic chamber.

The key advantage of LTCC(low temperature co-fired ceramics) technology is the ability to integrate passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors. More compact circuits with an increased scale of integration are needed with the development for advanced telecommunication system such as IMT-2000. LTCC technology can be obtained by removing these elements from the substrate surface to inside of ceramic body. And it can miniaturize the wireless phone through integration of planar patch antenna, duplexer, band pass filter, bias line, circuit of impedance matching and RF choke etc. Futhermore, with the multilayer chip process and its outstanding electrical material characteristics, LTCC is predestined for highly-integrated, cost effective wide band applications. This paper focuses on the general description of LTCC MCM technologies and the fabrication of the multilayer VCO module.

We developed a simple method to control the length of carbon nanotube array by using oxygen plasma etching. In this way, we could obtain a carbon nanotube with a uniform length (20, 30, 50, $70\;{\mu}m$), that was parallel to the substrate. Moreover, our growing method of carbon nanotube array gives a uniform diameter ~3.5nm, which is consistent with our previous results. Using the same etching method, we demonstrated the carbon nanotube radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna. The results could be useful for carbon nanotube applications such as flexible and transparent conductive films.

An efficient technique for the analysis of a general class of microstrip structures with a substrate is applied in this paper using newly-derived closed-form spatial domain Green's functions employed in conjunction with the Method of Moments(MoM). The computed current distributions on the microstrip structures are used to determine the scattering parameters of microstrip discontinuties and the input impedances of microstrip patch antennas. It is shown that the use of the closed-form Green's functions in the context of the MoM provides a computational advantage in terms of the CPU time by almost two orders of magnitude over the conventional spectral domain approach employing the transformed version of the Green's functions.
