In this paper, the planar waveguide slotted array antenna is presented, which has the 3-layered structure of feeding networks for a high gain. Due to the ionosphere which generates 'Faraday rotation', the skew is happened between the signal radiated from an artificial satellite and the receiving antenna. This causes a polarization loss. In this paper, to remove this polarization loss, the dumbbell shaped linear polarizer using a single layer film is proposed. The gain of proposed antenna is 29.4dB.

The nature and origin of the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) are an outstanding problem of cosmology, yet they are not well understood. Measuring Faraday rotation (RM) is one of a few promising methods to explore the IGMF. We have theoretically investigated RM using a model of the IGMF based on a MHD turbulence dynamo (Ryu et al. 2008; Cho et al. 2009). In the previous KAS meeting, we reported the results for the present-day local universe; for instance, the probability distribution function (PDF) of ${\mid}RM{\mid}$ follows the lognormal distribution, the root mean square (rms) value for filaments is ~1 rad m^{-2}, and the power spectrum peaks at ~1 h^{-1} Mpc scale. In this talk, we extend our study of RM; by stacking simulation data up to redshift z=5 and taking account of the redshift distribution of radio sources, we have reproduced an observable view of RM through filaments against background radio sources. Our findings are as follows. The inducement of RM is a random walk process, so that the rms of RM increases with increasing path length. The rms value of RM for filaments reaches several rad m^{-2}. The PDF still follows the lognormal distribution, and the power spectrum of RM peaks at less than degree scale. Our predictions of RM could be tested, for instance, with LOFAR, ASKAP, MEERKAT, and SKA.

Bismuth-substituted yttrium iron garnet (Bi:YIG, $Bi_{0.5}Y_{2.5}Fe_5O_{12}$) films were deposited with aerosol deposition method and their magnetic and optical properties were investigated as a function of annealing temperature. Since the ceramic films deposited with aerosol deposition method have not a perfect crystal structure due to non-uniform internal stress occurred by mechanical collision during their deposition, the post annealing could be a key process to release its internal stress and to improve its micro structure for optimizing the magnetic and magneto-optic properties of films. The crystallinity of Bi: YIG film was improved with increase of annealing temperature, and the saturation magnetization increased up to 87 emu/cc at $800^{\circ}C$. The Faraday rotation increased up to $1.4deg/{\mu}m$ by annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ around the wavelength of $0.5{\mu}m$. The optical transmittance of the Bi:YIG film was also improved in visible region.

We investigated the magneto-optical properties and application of diluted magnetic semiconductors Cd$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$Te crystals with various Mn contents grown using a vertical Bridgman method. This material crystallizes in the zinc-blende structure for values of x < 0.82. The band-gap energy was depended on Mn mole fraction x linearly and increased with decreasing temperature. The Faraday rotation was increased as the photon energy increased near to that of the fundamental band gap and its increased with increasing Mn mole fraction. Optical isolator using the Cd$_{0.62}$Mn$_{0.38}$Te crystal shows that the isolation and insertion loss are 45 dB and 0.35 dB at 650 nm, respectively.

We present results of long-term multi-wavelength polarization observations of the powerful blazar 3C 279 after its γ-ray flare on 2013 December 20. We followed up this flare with single-dish polarization observations using two 21-m telescopes of the Korean VLBI Network. Observations carried out weekly from 2013 December 25 to 2015 January 11, at 22 GHz, 43 GHz, 86 GHz simultaneously, as part of the Monitoring Of GAmma-ray Bright AGN (MOGABA) program. We measured 3C 279 total flux densities of 22–34 Jy at 22 GHz, 15–28 Jy (43 GHz), and 10–21 Jy (86 GHz), showing mild variability of ≤ 50 % over the period of our observations. The spectral index between 22 GHz and 86 GHz ranged from −0.13 to −0.36. Linear polarization angles were 27°–38°, 30°–42°, and 33°–50° at 22 GHz, 43 GHz, and 86 GHz, respectively. The degree of linear polarization was in the range of 6–12 %, and slightly decreased with time at all frequencies. We investigated Faraday rotation and depolarization of the polarized emission at 22–86 GHz, and found Faraday rotation measures (RM) of −300 to −1200 rad m⁻² between 22 GHz and 43 GHz, and −800 to −5100 rad m⁻² between 43 GHz and 86 GHz. The RM values follow a power law with a mean power law index a of 2.2, implying that the polarized emission at these frequencies travels through a Faraday screen in or near the jet. We conclude that the regions emitting polarized radio emission may be different from the region responsible for the 2013 December γ-ray flare and are maintained by the dominant magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of the radio jet at milliarcsecond scales.

Electrical damages to critical parts in rotation machinery have caused may machinery failures and hours of costly downtime. The problem of shaft currents generated in non-electrical machines have puzzled both users and manufacturers of these machines. The main solution for preventing electro- magnetic type damage is to demagnetize all of the machinery parts, however this is costly and time consuming. Therefore a thorough investigation into the causes and physical characteristics of electro- magnetic shaft currents is needed. In this paper, the self excitation theory was developed for a simple model, and axial flux Faraday disk machine surrounded by a long solenoid. Experimental tests were conducted to investigate the physical characteristics on an electromagnetic self excitation rig. The theory showed that the directions of both the shaft rotation and the coil turns should e identical if self excitation is to occur. From the tests, the electromagnetic type shaft current had both AC and DC components occurred at all vibration frequencies. This could point to the way to detect small instabilities or natural frequency locations by monitoring shaft currents.

We investigate Faraday rotation measure (RM) toward high Galactic latitudes due to the Galactic magnetic field (GMF). The Galactic contribution to RM comes from the global component and the turbulent component of the GMF, and we newly model the latter by incorporating data of MHD turbulence simulations. We find that for the turbulent velocity of ~50 km/s, the standard deviation of the RM due to the GMF toward high Galactic latitudes is close to the observed value, several rad m^{-2}. Yet, the predicted second-order structure function (SF) has values substantially smaller than the observed ones at separation angles of <~ several degree. This suggests that the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) significantly contributes to RM toward high Galactic latitudes, particularly at small angular scales. Our work proposes a strategy for surveys to explore the IGMF with LOFAR, ASKAP, MeerKAT, and SKA.

We report a theoretical study on wave propagation in magneto-optic thin-film waveguides. The field distribution and phase velocity of the guided hybrid modes are analyzed in terms of the phase difference of basic system modes and the Faraday rotation of the magneto-optic thin film. Splitting of the phase constant curves due to the F araday rotation is discussed. The present hybridmode analysis leads to a conversion matrix which shows that the distance dependence of the mode conversion in the guide is different from that in the bulk medium.
