The present study addresses the problem of quantitative prediction of effective complex relative permittivity of Barium Titanate/Polyvenylidene Fluoride (PVDF) and $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_{0.94}Ba_{0.06}TiO_3$/Poly(VDF-TrFE) biphasic ceramic-polymer composites. Theoretical results for effective relative permittivity derived from several dielectric mixture equations were fitted to the experimental data taken from the works of Prasad et al. (2010), Wang et al. (2004), Takenaka et al. (1991) and Yamada et al. (1982). The study revealed that out of the different test equations, only a few equations like modified Rother-Lichtenecker equation, Dias-Dasgupta equation or Rao equation for the real part and Bruggeman equation for the imaginary part of complex permittivity well fitted the corresponding experimental results. In the present study, some of the equations were used in their original forms, while some others were modified by choosing suitable shape-dependent parameters in order to get reasonably good agreement with experimental results. Besides, the experimental results have been proposed in the form of a mathematical model using first order exponential growth, which provided excellent fits.

지반오염조사에 대한 유전상수 측정기법의 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 함수비와 중금속 오염도에 따른 흙의 유전특성 변화를 분석하였다. 유전상수의 실수부와 허수부 모두 체적함수비에 따른 증가경향을 나타내었으며, 특히 MHz 범위에서 유전상수 실수부는 쌍극자모멘트에 비례하기 때문에 흙의 유전상수는 체적함수비에 따른 선형적인 증가경향을 나타내었다. 중금속 용액은 50 kHz 이하의 저주파영역에서 전극분극효과에 의해 농도 증가에 따라 유전상수 실수부가 증가하였으나, 고주파 영역에서는 이온의 수화작용에 의한 물분자의 배향분극 발현의 감소로 인하여 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유전상수 허수부는 중금속 농도 증가에 따라 전도손실의 증가에 의하여 모든 주파수 영역에서 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 흙과 중금속 혼합시료의 경우 함수비가 큰 시료에서는 중금속 용액 자체의 유전특성이 그대로 발현되었으나, 함수비가 작은 시료에서는 공간전하분극의 영향이 우세하여 유전상수 실수부가 $10-20\%$정도 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유전상수 허수부의 경우에는 중금속 농도 증가에 따른 뚜렷한 증가경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면 중금속의 오염감지에 대해서는 유전상수 실수부보다는 허수부의 적용성이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 현장에서의 정확한 오염도 평가를 위해서는 함수비에 대한 평가가 선행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Physical parameters such as porosity and effective porosity are important physical parameters that determine the transfer and movement of water and solutes in porous media. Various methods of determining these parameters have been developed, with varying degrees of accuracy and applicability. Most of the existing methods produce static results. They do not produce instantaneous and real time of porosity and effective porosity in a porous media. In this study, a new permittivity method called Frequency Domain Reflectometry with Vector analyzer (FDR-V) is proposed to determine the porosity and effective porosity of some sand samples in the laboratory. The advantage of the FDR-V method is that it instantaneously determines the temporal variation of dielectric constants of porous media. Then, the porosity and the effective porosity of porous media are computed using well established empirical equations. Results obtained from the FDR-V method compared favorably with results from other permittivity methods such as gravimetric, injection and replacement tests. The ratio of effective porosity to porosity was $85{\sim}92%$, when FDR-V was used. This value compared favourably with 90%, which has been usually quoted in previous studies. Considering the convenience and its applicability, the measurement system of FDR-V permittivity holds a great potential in porous media and contaminant transport studies.

Improvement in microwave absorbance has been investigated by insertion of a periodic air cavity in rubber composites filled with magnetic powders. A mixture of $Co_2Z$ hexagonal ferrite and Fe powders were used as the absorbent fillers in silicone rubber matrix. The complex permeability and complex permittivity of the magnetic composites were measured by reflection/transmission technique. In the grid-type magnetic absorbers, the equivalent permeability (${\mu}_{eq}$) and permittivity (${\varepsilon}_{eq}$) are calculated as a function of air volume rate (K) on the basis of effective medium theory. Reduction in the material parameters (especially, dielectric permittivity and magnetic loss) has been estimated with the increase of K. Plotting the ${\mu}_{eq}$ and ${\varepsilon}_{eq}$ on the solution map of wave-impedance matching, wide bandwidth microwave absorbance has been predicted in the magnetic composites with an optimum value of K.

A miniaturized CMOS bandpass filter for a single RF transceiver system is presented, using diagonally end-shorted coupled lines and lumped capacitors. In contrast to conventional miniaturized coupled line filters, it is proven that the effective permittivity variation of the coupled transmission line has no effect on shifting the center frequency when the bandpass filter is highly miniaturized. A bandpass filter at a center frequency of 2 GHz was fabricated by $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The insertion loss with the die area of $1500{\mu}m{\times}1000{\mu}m$ is -5.14 dB. Simulated results are well agreed with the easurements. It also verify the center frequency stability in the compact size bandpass filter.

The electromagnetic wave absorption sheets were fabricated by mixing of $Fe_{73}Si_{16}B_7Nb_3Cu_1$ nanocrystalline soft magnetic powder, charcoal powder and polymer based binder. The complex permittivity, complex permeability, and scattering parameter have been measured using a network analyzer in the frequency range of 10 MHz$\sim$10 GHz. The results showed that complex permittivity of sheets was largely dependent on the frequency and the amount of charcoal powder : The permittivity was improved up to 100 MHz, however the value was decreased above 1 GHz. The power loss of electromagnetic wave absorption data showed almost the same tendency as the results of complex permittivity. However, the complex permeability was not largely affected by the frequency, and the values were decreased with the addition of charcoal powder. Based on the results, it can be summarized that the addition of charcoal powder was very effective to improve the EM wave absorption in the frequency range of 10 MHz$\sim$1 GHz.

Large spaceborne antennas should be lightweight, a factor related to the development costs of launch vehicles. In order to overcome this drawback, a feasibility study of a new carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) named M55J/RS3 is carried out for a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) reflector antenna. In particular, the high resolution of detected images is taken into consideration. To validate the electrical performance, a test of the CFRP specimen is fabricated, and the transmission/reflection coefficients are measured using a standard X-band waveguide. Finally, the effective complex permittivity and effective electrical conductivity are derived from the obtained measured data. By applying the derived conductivity to the simulation of the radiation pattern, antenna gain, and beamwidth-instead of relying on the assumption of a perfect electric conductor-variations in electrical performance are also investigated and discussed.

Using an oedometer cell instrumented to measure the evolution of electromagnetic properties, small strain stiffness, and temperature, we conducted consolidation tests on four types of sediments. The tested specimens include sediments with different gas hydrate saturation at four stages of loading. The test results show that the electromagnetic and mechanical properties of hydrate-bearing marine sediments are governed by the vertical effective stress, stress history, porosity, hydrate saturation, fabric, ionic concentration of the pore fluid, and temperature. The results also show that permittivity and electrical conductivity data can be combined to estimate hydrate volume fraction in laboratory sediments, methodology that might eventually be extended for estimation of hydrate concentrations in field settings.

In this paper, a finite element (FEM) investigation of composite materials is studied. A pemittivity profile of the material is implemented to correspond to the Packing fraction of the physical composite. Curve fitting is applied to the standing wave pattern to determine the effective attenuation coefficient and propagation constant in the composite. The complex permittivity as a function of packing density is then determined. A comparison between the two dimensional and three dimensional measurement simulations is presented. An adaptive scheme is implemented to improve resolution of the finite element particulates.

개방단말 동축선 프로브법은 측정매질에 가공없이 접촉하여 매질의 전기적인 특성을 측정할 수 있는 효과적인 방법이다. 프로브 단말면에서 측정된 임의의 매질의 반사계수는 등가모델에 의해 복소 유전율로 환산되는데 본 실험실에서는 이미 개선된 가상의 전송선로 모델을 제안한 바 있다. 그런데 이 등가모델에 의해 환산된 복소 유전율은 주파수가 올라갈수록 오차가 증가하였다. 개방단말 동축선 프로브법에서의 복소 유전율 오차는 프로브의 불완전 접촉, 프로브의 제자 오차 등과 같은 여러 가지 원인에 의해 복합적으로 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 반사계수를 FDTD(Finite-Difference Time-Domain) 기법으로 수치 계산하여 반사계수 측정 시 발생할 수 있는 여러 오차를 제거하여, 오차의 원인을 환산모델의 문제로 제한시켰다. 그리고 환산모델에 의한 오차의 발생 여부를 여러 각도에서 연구하였다. 첫 번째고 반복법으로 계산된 환산모델의 변수에 대한 local minimum을 확인하였다. 두 번째로는 사용 주파수 범위에서 등가 모델의 모델링 여부를 확인하였다. 이러한 연구로부터 현재 사용하는 개선된 가상의 전송선로 모델의 사용범위를 알 수 있다.
