Materials used at microwave are usually used as a dielectric with a manufacturing purpose of printed circuit boards, etc. Complex permittivity of them can be measured from attenuation constant or propagation constant of a transmission line using a microstrip line with bulk type. But as the technique recently which can manufacture to have complex permittivity and permeability demanded using nonferrous metals for powder-type grows up, we need sensors and methods which can measure characteristics of powder-type materials. So far measuring methods of permittivity and permeability with waveguide or coaxial cable are used but they have faults which have a complex measurement method and are difficult to simultaneously measure permittivity and permeability. In this paper, a simultaneous measuring method of permittivity and permeability with 2-port coaxial cable and a new proposed calculation. The proposed 2-port coaxial cable is designed to be easy to insert materials and to have a wideband. We measure permittivity and permeability of magnetic powder(Ni-Fe-Mo, Ni-Fe) which reveal its characteristic at $0.3{\sim}1.3GHz$ to identify the proposed sensor.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the field distribution and the current distribution of leaky coaxial cable with the finite difference-tiem domain(FDTD) algorithm. finite difference equations of maxwell's equations are defined in cylindrical coordinate systems. To simulate the unbounded problem like a free space, the Mur's absorbing boundary conditon is also used. After modeling the leaky coaxial cable with the three dimensional grid structure, the transient resoponse of th efield distribution and the current distribution are depicted in the time domain.

Radiofrequency thermal ablation (RTA) as one of the microwave hyperthermia is becoming the treatment of choice for small but inoperable tumors of the liver. In this paper, we designed the applicator composed of semi-rigid coaxial cable antenna with a ring slot for RTA. To optimize the maximum output of radiation at 2450 MHz, we simulated the antenna using Electromagnetic simulation tools Maxwell program and analyzed the return loss and the electric field $E_{tot}$ at the near-field region between the simulation results and measurement results. As a result, we obtained the return loss of -29.786 dB at 2450 MHz when the antenna was placed between two blocks of a pig's liver, and the measurement results agreed with the simulation results well. Therefore, this semi-rigid coaxial cable antenna with a ring slot can be used very usefully as the applicator for RTA.r RTA.A.

In High-Speed DSP systems, crosstalk between transmission lines of multi-channel can degrade the performance of equipment operations. This paper presents a microwave board to measure multi-channel coaxial cable assembly. The designed board has good performances from DC to 3 GHz, which have improved characteristic impedance, reduced crosstalk by using via fence, and low transmission loss. Using the designed board, we can measure characteristics of DUT(Device Under Test) such as return loss, insertion loss, crosstalk phase delay, and characteristic impedance. The measured results are used to improve performances of a produced coaxial cable assembly.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as one of the microwave hyperthermia is becoming the treatment of choice for small but inoperable tumors of the liver. In this paper, we designed the applicator composed of semi-rigid coaxial cable antenna with a ring slot for RFA. To optimize the maximum output of radiation with omni direction at 2450 ㎒, we simulated the applicator using Electromagnetic simulation program and analyzed the return loss and the electric field E$\_$tot/ at the near-field region between the simulation results and measurement results. As a result, we obtained the return loss of -29.786 dB at 2450 ㎒ when the applicator was placed between two blocks of a pig's liver, and the measurement results agreed with the simulation results well. Therefore, this applicator using semi-rigid coaxial cable antenna with a ring slot can be used very usefully as the applicator for RFA.

This paper describes a very fast rising high voltage pulse generation for studying surge phinomenon and prebreakdown of liquid dielectric by appling the traveling wave theory of the distributed circuit. This very fast rising high voltage pulse generator consists of a charging coaxial cable, a discharging switch, and a terminating resistance. As results, the rising time of pulses are about 31(nsec), which is very fast, and its duration is 950[nsec] when using 200[m] coaxial cable. The length of the coaxial cable and changing voltage can regulate the duration and the amplitude or the polarity of the pulse. When terminated the resistance, capacitor and inductor, the measured waveform corresponds with simulated waveform.

A coaxial-cable impedance transformer used in wideband frequency range is generally restricted to the fixed impedance transformation ratio as n2:1 or 1:n2(n: the number of coaxial cables). In this paper, we propose a new coaxial-cable impedance transformer to have an arbitrary impedance transformation ratio. We have fabricated three impedance transformers($50-{\Omega}$ to $25-{\Omega}$, $50-{\Omega}$ to $20-{\Omega}$ and $50-{\Omega}$ to $9-{\Omega}$) to confirm the operation characteristic of the suggested impedance transformer. The reflection characteristics (S11) of the fabricated $50-{\Omega}$ to $25-{\Omega}$ and $50-{\Omega}$ to $20-{\Omega}$ impedance transformer were less than -15dB over about 3-octaves frequency range and the reflection characteristic (S11) of the fabricated $50-{\Omega}$ to $9-{\Omega}$ impedance transformer was less than -15dB over about 1-octave frequency range, respectively.

This paper presents basis functions for curvilinear square elements and describes finite element analysis for coaxial cable and coaxial cross-section waveguide. On the case of coaxial cable, the more exact results is obtained by the propotional elements than by the equal elements with the same number of elements. It is found that the cutoff frequency of coaxial cross-sectional waveguide is more dependent on the inner and outer radius than the cross-sectional angle.

Power cables made of high temperature superconductors (HTS) are considered as most advanced applications of superconductivity for electro-energetics. Several cables made of the First Generation (1G) HTS wires have been produced and installed to electrical grids worldwide. Power cables made of the Second Generation HTS wires (2G or Coated Conductors) are in active development. Most basic principles of HTS power cables development have been published in many works since 90-ties. In this Review we would like to present our new developments mostly directed to 2G HTS compact power cables. We are presenting the methods to optimize a design of 2G AC compact power cable providing uniform current distribution among cable layers and the production technology approaches to implement such a design. AC losses measurements in such cables and other test methods are described. Some problems of the development 2G HTS power cables with small diameters are discussed. We presented as examples designs, developments and test results of two major coaxial cables designs: single-phase (cable core and a shield) and three-phase (triaxial: with three coaxial phases).

As determined single coaxial cable for the interface between satellite and ground station in COMS RF compatibility test, RF supporting unit was required to allow signals in different frequency-band to be exchanged in the single coaxial cable. In addition, the path loss between satellite and ground station in normal operation should be simulated through two RF supporting units connected to the ends of single coaxial cable. As an effort to design RF supporting unit, level diagram was firstly conducted on the basis of measured data for each element. From the level diagram, it was found that single coaxial cable connected with two RF supporting units properly represented the path loss between satellite and ground station After RF supporting unit was integrated on aluminum plate, it was tested that input signal level at each test cap linked with MODCS and TC&R was tunable within the required dynamic range. RF supporting unit, now completely integrated, will be applied in the upcoming COMS RF compatibility test.
