.We have studied to obtain the properly conditions about impedance matching of the SAW filter for the SPUDT type and the bidirectional transducer type later. And we have studied to obtain the SAW filter for the Slanted Finger Interdigital Transducer(SFIT), was formed on the Langasite substrate and was evaporated by Aluminum-Copper alloy and then we performed computer-simulated by simulator In case the SPUDT, we have employed that the number of pairs of the input and output IDT are 50 pairs and the thickness and the width of reflector are $5000{\AA}$ and $3.6{\mu}m$, respectively. And the of the bidirectional transducer, the width of IDT' fingers and the space between IDT' finger and reflector is $1.8{\mu}m$, respectively. Also, we have performed to series connected the SPUDT type with the bidirectional transducer type filter. The frequency response of the fabricated SAW filter has the property that the center frequency is about 190MHz and bahdwidth at the 3dB is probably 5.3MHz after when we have matched impedance. Also, we could obtain that ripple characteristics is less than 0.3dB and insert loss is probably -20dB after when we have matched impedance.

Magnetostrictive materials are routinely employed as actuator and sensor elements in a wide variety of noise and vibration control problems. In infrastructural applications, other technologies such as hydraulic actuation, piezoelectric materials and more recently, magnetorheological fluids, are being favored for actuation and sensing purposes. These technologies have reached a degree of technical maturity and in some cases, cost effectiveness, which justify their broad use in infrastructural applications. Advanced civil structures present new challenges in the areas of condition monitoring and repair, reliability, and high-authority actuation which motivate the need to explore new methods and materials recently developed in the areas of materials science and transducer design. This paper provides an overview of a class of materials that because of the large force, displacement, and energy conversion effciency that it can provide is being considered in a growing number of quasistatic and dynamic applications. Since magnetostriction involves a bidirectional energy exchange between magnetic and elastic states, magnetostrictive materials provide mechanisms both for actuation and sensing. This paper provides an overview of materials, methods and applications with the goal to inspire novel solutions based on magnetostrictive materials for the design and control of advanced infrastructural systems.

A 440MHz wireless and passive surface acoustic wave (SAW) based micro-sensor was developed for simultaneous measurement of temperature and humidity. The developed sensor is composed of a SAW reflective delay lines structured by an IDT (Inter-Digital Transducer), four reflectors and humidity sensitive film (polyimide). Polyimide was dry-ecthed by RIE (Reactive Ion Etching) to obtain high roughness, which gives the large reaction area resulting in high sensitivity. In wireless testing using a network analyzer, sharp reflection peaks with high S/N ratio, small signal attenuation, and few spurious peaks were observed in the time domain. High sensitivity towards the temperature and humidiy were also observed in the large concentration range. The obtained sensitivity was $16.8^{\circ}/^{\circ}C$ for temperature sensor and $15.8^{\circ}$/%RH for humidity sensor.
