근접장 광학 현미경에 사용되는 다양한 탐침 중 가장 널리 사용되는 근접장 탐침은 잡아끌거나 식각하는 방식으로 첨단부를 뽀족하게 한 후 수십 내지 수백 나노미터 직경의 개구 만을 남겨두고 금속 코팅한 광섬유 탐침이다. 하지만 이렇게 제작되는 광섬유 탐침에는 뽀족한 기하학적인 모양과 깨지기 쉬운 재질 특성으로 인하여 내구성이 떨어지고 작은 개구 각도로 인하여 광 전달율이 매우낮으며 탐침을 근접장 영역에 진입시킨 후 시료와 탐침 간의 거리를 유지시키기 위해서 매우 복잡한 거리 유지 장치가 필요하다는 단점들이 있다. (중략)

Recently, it has demanded high-speed digital circuits as information increase. Therefore, electromagnetic characteristics of compact microwave circuit occurred importantly. And, the effect of the imperfect ground plane on the signal integrity and influence of coupling between two parallel lines for high-speed digital transmission line on the printed circuit board is investigated by FDTD simulations in 3-D electromagnetic analysis method. The results of FDTD simulation are compared with the ADS simulation in commercial software, analyzed lumped element of modeling and electromagnetic wave's radiation of slot as frequency. As a consequence, when the slot in the ground plane is under microstrip line, it has much effect on propagation of wave.

In this paper, photonic bandgap(PBG) bandstop filters which are composed of periodically etched circles in the ground plane show good microwave characteristics with the harmonic suppression on stopband. The PBG structures were analyzed using a finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) simulation and experimental measurement. The FDTD technique is used because it can simulate arbitrary 3-D structures and provide broadband frequency response. The analysis results are presented it is the same that only one row of etched circles and 2-dimension three rows of etched circles. And we show the PBG resonator characteristics between etched circles using field pattern and frequency characteristics as functions of etched circle number n, etched circle radius r and period a.

In this paper, the impedance-tuned monopole microstrip antenna designed for PCS is analyzed using finite difference time domain(FDTD) method. The perfectly matched layer(PML) absorbing material condition proposed by Berenger is used for the truncation of finite difference time domain lattice. A Gaussian pulse is selected as an excitation signal and a resistive voltage source model is used to reduce the error caused by the reflection waves. The FDTD method is inherently a near field technique. Therefore, the near field to far field transformation is need to compute far field antenna parameters such as radiation patterns and gain. The near field to far field transformation can be done both in the time domain and the frequency domain. We use the frequency domain transformation to compute the far field radiation patterns at single frequency. All the numerical results obtained by the FDTD method are compared with simulation results using the HFSS software. Good agreements are obtained in all cases.

반도체 공정에서는 소자 내부의 물리량 계산을 통해 결점를 검출하는 시뮬레이션을 수행하게 된다. 이를 위해 3차원적 형상을 표현하여 물리적 미분 방정식을 계산하는 유한 차분 시간 영역 알고리즘(Finite-Difference Time-Domain, 이하 FDTD)과 같은 수치해석 기법이 사용된다. 반도체 테스트 범위의 확장으로 인해 시뮬레이션 사이즈 또한 커지고 있는 추세이다. 이에 따라 하나의 프로세서에서 수행할 수 없는 문제가 발생하기도 한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 openMP와 MPI를 이용한 하이브리드 컴퓨팅 기법을 바탕으로 다중 GPU 제어를 통해 시뮬레이션 환경을 구축하였으며 정상 동작함을 확인하였다.

A general characterization procedure based on the extraction of a 2n-port admittance matrix corresponding to n uniform coupled lines on the multi-layered substrate using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) technique is presented. The frequency-dependent normal mode parameters are obtained from the 2n-port admittance matrix, which in turn provides the frequency-dependent distributed inductance and capacitance matrices. To illustrate the technique, several practical coupled line structures on multi-layered substrate, including a three-line structure, have been simulated. It is shown that the FDTD based time domain characterization procedure is an excellent broadband simulation tool for the design of multiconductor coupled lines on multilayered PCBs as well as thick or thin hybrid structures.

In this paper, a microstrip antenna is designed using a rectangular patch. To find characteristics of the antenna, computer simulations of the rectangular single microstrip patch antenna are performed with changing width and feed line. And we found characteristics of RHCP using axial ratio. Through the results, we found that the Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD) method is an effective method for designing microstrip patch antenna. According to simulation the resonant point has been found it in the frequency received from GPS satellite. And these results were in relatively good accordance with the measured values.

The design, numerical simulation, and an experimental implementation of two-element cross-shaped microstrip line-fed printed slot array antenna for IMT-2000 at the 2.0 GHz band is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna with relative permittivity 4.3 and thickness 1.0mm is analyzed by the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method. It was shown that the measured 2.0 VSWR bandwidth of one-element microstrip slot antenna is from 1.42 GHz to 2.69 GHz, which is approximately 61.8% and that of two-element microstrip slot array antenna is from 1.42 GHz to 2.56 GHz, which is approximately 57.3% And it was shown that the measured gain of one-element microstrip slot antenna is 2.75 dBi and that of two-element microstrip slot antenna is 4.75 dEi. The antennas were fabricated and tested. The measured results are in good agreements with the FDTD results.

The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is applied to analyze a single step microstrip discontinuity in the substrate, and an equivalent circuit model comprised of two inductors and a capacitor has been developed using the numerical results. The microstrip discontinuity newly introduced in this paper has a thickness change of the substrate in the longitudinal direction with a uniform strip width. The discontinuity can be applied to the feeding circuit design for the patch antennas and interconnections between microwave circuit modules. The simulation results are compared with those computed by HFSS, and two results showed a good agreement. An equivalent circuit developed from the FDTD results, which is accurate within 2.4% in magnitudes of $S_{11}$ and $S_{21}$,can be applied for the computer-aided design of microwave circuits.

As a highly conductive and transparent electrode, the optical transmittances of ITO/Ag/ITO were simulated and compared with the experimental results. The simulations are based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method in solving linear Maxwell equations. In our simulations, the computation domain is set in the XZ-plane with 3D dimension, and a plane wave with variable wavelengths ranging from 250 nm to 850 nm is incident in the z-direction at normal incidence to the ITO/Ag/ITO film surrounded by free-air space. As the results through both simulations and experiments, it was shown that the thickness combinations by the ITO layers of about 40 nm and the Ag layer of about 10 nm could be most suitable conditions as a high conductive transparent electrode having the transmittance similar to that of a single ITO layer.
