A technique is investigated for achieving broadband properties by controlling the operation frequency of microstrip antennas. The control is achieved by applying DC and AC bias to the microstrip antenna. Air gap antenna with pzt post and microstrip antenna with simple rectangular patch on the $LiNbO_3$ substrate were fabricated. In the case of Air gap antenna, the variation of operating frequency was 11Mhz and $LiNbO_3$ antennas was 11Mhz. Also, frequency scanning was achieved by appling AC bias.

The broadband Power Splitters and Tap-Offs are needed to transmit a number of channels of signals with the high quality of signals. In this paper the design theories and analysis of the theoretical frequency characteristics of the Wilkinson's Power Splitters and Tap-Offs are reviewed. Then it has been showned that the theoretical frequency characteristics of the proposed compensated Wilkinson's Power Splitter and Tap-Off are improved much in comparison with the prototype wikinson's Power Splitter and conventional weakely-coupled Tap-Off. Furthermore the measured results of frequency characteristics for the fabricated circuits show agreement with the theoretical results and hence the validity of the proposed design and analysis methods has been confirmed.

In this paper, active frequency doubler with broadband characteristics and unconditional stability from 6GHz to 12GHz was designed and fabricated using PHEMT. The designed frequency multiplier has a bias point near pinch-off and a proposed RC circuit between bias line and input matching network for the improvement of stability. With 0dBm input power, second harmonic of 1.7dBm at 12GHz, - 27.5dBc suppression of 6GHz fundamental, -18dBc suppression of 18GHz 3rd harmonic and the output bandwidth of 1.8GHz have been measured.

This study examines the wavelet transform for output-only system identification of ambient excited engineering structures with emphasis on its utilization for modal parameter estimation of high-order and closely-spaced modes. Sophisticated time-frequency resolution analysis has been carried out by employing the modified complex Morlet wavelet function for better adaption and flexibility of the time-frequency resolution to extract two closely-spaced frequencies. Furthermore, bandwidth refinement techniques such as a bandwidth resolution adaptation, a broadband filtering technique and a narrowband filtering one have been proposed in the study for the special treatments of high-order and closely-spaced modal parameter estimation. Ambient responses of a 5-story steel frame building have been used in the numerical example, using the proposed bandwidth refinement techniques, for estimating the modal parameters of the high-order and closely-spaced modes. The first five natural frequencies and damping ratios of the structure have been estimated; furthermore, the comparison among the various proposed bandwidth refinement techniques has also been examined.

A technique is investigated for achieving broadband properties by controlling the operation frequency of microstrip antennas. The control is achieved by applying DC bias to the microstrip antenna. Air gap antenna with PZT post is fabricated. by using in C-band. In the case of Air gap antenna, the variation of center frequency was about 16Mhz and the bandwidth was increased up to 123.3% at 15dB, 160.7% at 20dB than before applying DC bias respectively. The change property of frequency in air gap antenna is nearly the same the C-V property in PZT.

In this work, a new microstrip-to-substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) transition using the parallel half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) is proposed. The proposed transition consists of three sections : a microstrip, parallel HMSIWs, and an SIW. By inserting the parallel HMSIWs section between the microstrip section and the SIW section, the proposed transition can improve the return loss characteristics of the near cut-off frequency because the HMSIWs section has a lower cut-off frequency than the SIW section (8.6 GHz). The lower cut-off frequency is achieved through gradual electromagnetic field mode changes for a low reflection. The measured return loss is less than 20 dB in the of 9.1~16.28 GHz freqeuncy range for the back-to-back transition. The measured insertion loss is within 1.6 dB for the back-to-back transition. The proposed transition is expected to play an important role in wideband SIW circuits fed by a microstrip.

어종의 식별을 위한 음향학적 정보를 추출해 내는 데 활용하기 위한 초음파 변환기를 설계하기 위한 시도의 하나로꺼 전극분할 원반형 압전진동자를 이용하여 공진주파기를 가변시켜 넓은 주파수 대역에 걸쳐 사용할 수 있는 어군탐지기용 송.수파기를 설계하였다. 본 연구에서 설계한 초음파 변환기는 전극분할형 압전진동자의 한쪽 전극에 발전기를 접속하고, 다른 쪽 전국에 2.7~15.0 mH 인덕턴스를 접속하였을 때, 경방향에 대한 공진 주파스는 49.5~ 55.7 kHz의 범위에서 가변시킬 수 있었고, 또한 외부에서 진동자에 인가한 임피던스의 영향에 의해 출현하는 공진주파수에는 61.3~121.7 kHz의 범위에서 가변시킬수 있었다. 그러나, 이들 주파수에 대한 전기음향효율을 고려 할때, 실제로 활용할 수 있는 주파수 범위는 이것보다 훨씬 좁은 폭이 될 것이라 판단된다.

Recently, domestic fishing production of Japanese horse mackerel has been continuously decreasing. To achieve sustainable fishing of this species, it is essential to acquire its target strength (TS) for accurate biomass estimation and to study its ecological characteristics. To date, there has been no TS research using a broadband echosounder targeting Japanese horse mackerel. In this study, for the first time, we synchronized an underwater camera with a broadband frequency (nominal center frequency of 200 kHz, range: 160-260 kHz) to measure the TS according to the body size (16.8-35.5 cm) and swimming angle of the species. The relationship between Japanese horse mackerel length and body weight showed a general tendency for body weight to increase as length increased. The pattern of the frequency spectra (average values) by body length exhibited a similar trend regardless of body length, with no significant fluctuations in frequency observed. The lowest TS value was observed at 243 kHz while the highest TS values were recorded at 180 and 257.5 kHz. The frequency spectra for the swimming angles appeared to be flat at angles of -5, 0, 30, 60, 75, and 80° while detecting more general trends of frequency spectra for swimming angle proved challenging. The results of this study can serve as fundamental data for Japanese horse mackerel biomass estimation and ecological research.

This article describes the design and performance characteristics of a broadband ultrasonic mosaic transducer. We focus on the improved bandwidth in the high frequency band of a previously designed broadband ultrasonic transducer (Lee et al., 2014). The improvement in the pulse-echo bandwidth was achieved by employing twelve $2{\times}2$ element subarrays, operating at different resonance frequencies, and utilizing the mosaic array concept. We found that the -6 dB and -12 dB bandwidths of the newly developed broadband ultrasonic mosaic transducer, were up to 155% and 170% of the previously designed model, with a quality factor of 1.71 and 1.25, respectively. The averaged TVR (transmitting voltage response), SRT (receiving sensitivity), and FOM (figure of merit) values in a nearly flat transmitting response band, from 45 to 105 kHz providing a -12 dB bandwith of 60 kHz, were 163.3 dB (re $1{\mu}Pa/V$ at 1 m), -192.8 dB (re $1V/{\mu}Pa$), and -30.9 dB, respectively.
