Conductive microspheres with a density of 0.2 g/cc were fabricated by electroless silver plating for application to the light-weighted microwave absorbers. The silver plating was conducted with the variation of plating conditions (sensitizing condition, $AgNO_3$, concentration, amount of reducing agent). Specimens have very low electro-resistivity. Under an optimum processing condition, conductive microspheres with uniform silver plating layer can be produced. Rubber-sphere composites were fabricated and their microwave absorbing properties were measured by HP8722D Network Analyzer. It was found that the lower the electrical resistance of microsphere, the better the microwave absorbing properties. Feasibility of microwave absorbers using this microspheres can be demonstrated with the result of microwave reflection loss of -15 dB and thickness of 1.44 mm.

The raw materials of permalloy were processed the ball-mill for 30 hours and the shape of permalloy particles was changed from sphere to flake type, which was observed using scanning electron microscope. The complex permittivity and permeability spectra and reflection loss of permalloy-rubber composite was measured using Network Analyzer in order to investigate the relationship between the microwave absorption and the material constants. The flake type permalloy-rubber composite showed high reflection loss, which was due to the high complex permittivity and permeability. Also, the matching frequency shifted toward lower frequency range with microwave absorber thickness, and the maximum reflection loss of -6.1 dB was observed in $1.65\;GHz{\sim}1.86\;GHz$ for a 1.3 mm thickness.

열 중착 방법을 이용하여 copper(II)-phthalocyanine(CuPc) 박막을 glass 기판 위에 제작하였다. 박막은 열처리를 하지 않은 경우와 열처리 조건을 $150^{\circ}C$ 로 후열(annealing) 처리 하는 방식으로 하였으며 후열 처리한 경우 $150^{\circ}C$에서의 열처리 지속 시간을 각각 2시간, 3시간, 4시간으로 달리하였다. 제작된 박막의 전기전도도를 평가하기 위해 마이크로파의 근접장 효과를 이용한 근접장 현미경(near-field scanning microwave microscope)을 이용하여 비파괴적인 방식으로 CuPc 박막의 반사계수(reflection coefficient)를 측정하였다. CuPc 박막의 전기전도도 특성을 UV 흡수도를 통한 HOMO(highest occupied molecular orbital), LUMO(lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) 준위의 밴드갭의 shift 현상과 관련지어 설명하였다. 박막 표면 특성은 SEM(scanning microscope microscopy)을 통해 관측하였다. 열처리 지속 시간에 따른 CuPc 박막의 전기전도도 특성은 2시간으로 지속한 경우의 박막의 경우 가장 좋았으며 그 보다 더 오랜 시간 동안 열처리를 지속한 경우에는 전기 전도 특성이 오히려 나빠짐을 알 수 있었다.

유기발광소자 안에 존재하는 비발광영역(dark spot)의 전압에 대한 영향을 근접장 마이크로파 현미경(near-field scanning microwave microscope)을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 유기발광소자는 glass/indiumtin oxide(ITO)/Cu-Pc/tris-(8-hydroquinoline)aluminum(Alq3)/aluminum(Al) 의 기본구조로 제작하였다. Dark spot은 ITO 기판을 부분적으로 에칭하여서 형성시켰다. Dark spot에 $0{\sim}l5 V$ 까지 전압을 인가시키면서 인가 전압에 따른 전기적 특성을 근접장 마이크로파 현미경 image의 변화와 반사계수인 $S_{11}$ 측정을 통하여 연구하였다.

The effect of heat-treatment temperature on the microwave absorbing properties was investigated in Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4 specimens. The composite specimens were prepared by modling and curing the mixture of prereacted ferrite powder and silicone rubber. The measurement of complex permeability and permittivity was made by the reflection/transmission method. The most sensitive material constants with heat-treatment temperature is the imaginary (loss) component of permeability. The higher the heat-treatment temperature, the greater the magnetic loss. The composite specimens with high magnetic loss exhibited superior microwave absorbing properties. The quantitative estimation of microwave absorbing properties were made by plotting the observed material constants on the calculated solution map of impedance-matching.

In a indoor microwave power distribution system, matching-type power dividing switch is proposed and designed with a various power dividing ratio. A matching coaxial cable probe is used behind the output probe for the reflecting power absorption. Reflecting characteristics of the matching coaxial cable probe are calculated by analyzing the S-parameter of this structure. Newly proposed matching-type switch shows a very low return loss less than -30dB at the operating frequency of 2.45GHz with a dividing power ratio of 50.2%. The simulated results by use of 3-stage power divider shows a good agreement with the theoretical estimation for the various combination of the different switching ratio.

We report the dark spots in organic light emitting diodes by using a near-field scanning microwave microscope. Devices structure was glass / indium-tin-oxide(ITO) / copper-pthalocyiane(Cu-Pc) / tris-(8-hydroquinoline)aluminum(Alq3) / aluminum(Al). We made artificial dark spots by using a etching technique on a ITO substrate. Near-field scanning microwave microscope images and reflective coefficient of dark spots were measured and compared by the change of various applied voltage changes 0-15V.

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.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a simple tunable photonic microwave band-pass filter with high resolution using a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) and an optical time-delay line. The RSOA is used as a gain medium for generating cross-gain modulation (XGM) effect as well as an optical source. The optical source provides narrow spectral width by self-injection locking the RSOA in conjunction with a partial reflection filter with specific center wavelength. Then, when the RSOA is operated in the saturation region and the modulated recursive signal is injected into the RSOA, the recursive signal is inversely copied to the injection locked optical source due to the XGM effect. Also, the tunability of the passband of the proposed microwave filter is shown by controlling an optical time-delay line in a recursive loop.
