The microwave instruments are used many areas of the space remote sensing and space science applications. The imaging radar of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is well known microwave radar sensor for earth surface and ocean research. Unlike radar, microwave radiometer is passive instrument and it measures the emission energy of target, i.e. brightness temperature BT, from earth surface and atmosphere. From measured BT, the geophysical data like cloud liquid water, water vapor, sea surface temperature, surface permittivity can be retrieved. In this paper, the radiometer characteristics, system configuration and principle of BT measurement are described. Also the radiometer instruments TRMM, GPM, SMOS for earth climate, and ocean salinity research are introduce. As first korean microwave payload on STSAT-2, the DREAM (Dual-channels Radiometer for Earth and Atmosphere Monitoring) is described the mission, system configuration and operation plan for life time of two years. The main issues of DREAM unlike other spaceborne radiometers, will be addressed. The calibration is the one of main issues of DREAM mission and how it contribute on the space borne radiometer. In conclusion, the radiometer instrument to space science application will be considered.

The atmospheric effects on the retrieval of sea ice concentration from passive microwave sensors are examined using simulated data typical for the Arctic summer. The simulation includes atmospheric contributions of cloud liquid water and water vapor and surface wind on surface emissivity on the microwave signatures. A plane parallel radiative transfer model is used to compute brightness temperatures at SSM/I frequencies over surfaces that contain open water, first-year (FY) ice and multi-year (MY) ice and their combinations. Synthetic retrievals in this study use the NASA Team (NT) algorithm for the estimation of sea ice concentrations. This study shows that if the satellite sensor’s field of view is filled with only FY ice the retrieval is not much affected by the atmospheric conditions due to the high contrast between emission signals from FY ice surface and the signals from the atmosphere. Pure MY ice concentration is generally underestimated due to the low MY ice surface emissivity that results in the enhancement of emission signals from the atmospheric parameters. Simulation results in marginal ice areas also show that the atmospheric and surface effects tend to degrade the accuracy at low sea ice concentration. FY ice concentration is overestimated and MY ice concentration is underestimated in the presence of atmospheric water and surface wind at low ice concentration. In particular, our results suggest that strong surface wind is more important than atmospheric water in contributing to the retrieval errors of total ice concentrations over marginal ice zones.

We prepared a highly sensitive hydrogen (H₂) sensor based on Indium oxides (In₂O₃) porous nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with Platinum (Pt) nanoparticle in the range of 1.6~5.7 at.%. In₂O₃ NPs were fabricated by microwave irradiation method, and decorations of Pt nanoparticles were performed by electroless plating on In₂O₃ NPs. Crystal structures, morphologies, and chemical information on Pt-loaded In₂O₃ NPs were characterized by grazing-incident X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, respectively. The effect of the Pt nanoparticles on the H₂-sensing performance of In₂O₃ NPs was investigated over a low concentration range of 5 ppm of H₂ at 150-300 ℃ working temperatures. The results showed that the H₂ response greatly increased with decreasing sensing temperature. The H₂ response of Pt loaded porous In₂O₃ NPs is higher than that of pristine In₂O₃ NPs. H₂ gas selectivity and high sensitivity was explained by the extension of the electron depletion layer and catalytic effect. Pt loaded porous In₂O₃ NPs sensor can be a robust manner for achieving enhanced gas selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of H₂.

Using the LOCOS process, we have fabricated the lateral type polysilicon field emission triodes with poly-Si/oxide/Si structure and investigated their current-voltage characteristics for three biasing modes of operation. The fabricated devices exhibit excellent electrical performances such as a relatively low turn-on anode voltage of 14 V at VGC = 0V, a stable and high emission current of 92${\mu}$A/triode over 90 hours, a small gate leakage current of 0.23 ${\mu}$A/triode and an outstanding transconductance of 57${\mu}$S/5triodes at VGC = 5V and VAC = 26V. these superior electrical operation is believed to be due to a large field enhancement effect, which is related to the sharp cathode tips produced by the LOCOS process as well as the high aspect ratio (height /radius ) of the cathode tip end.

최근 급속한 기후변화 및 광범위한 사회간접시설의 개발 등으로 인해 사면붕괴가 곳곳에서 발생하고 있으며, 이에 대한 모니터링 및 예방시스템 구축에 대한 사회적인 관심이 증가하고 있는 상태이다. 사면붕괴 메카니즘에 영향을 미치는 중요한 영향인자는 지표내 수분 및 온도이며 이에 대한 변화 추이를 통해 사면붕괴를 예측할 수 있다. 따라서, 사면붕괴 모니터링을 위해서는 지표 깊이별 온도 및 함수비를 연속적으로 측정할 수 있는 복합센싱 기법이 필요하다고 볼 수 있다. 현재까지 온도 및 함수비에 대해 각각의 계측이 가능한 개별 센서는 다양하게 개발되어 있는 상태이지만, 온도 및 함수비를 동시에 연속적으로 측정할 수 있는 복합계측 시스템의 경우에는 많은 연구가 필요한 상태이다. 본 논문에서는 전류소모가 최소화된 측온 회로와 고주파 신호를 토양에 방사하는 수분 측정 센서를 적용한 고정밀 온도-함수비 복합센서를 개발하여 효율적이고 정확도를 향상시킨 사면붕괴 모니터링 시스템에 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 복한센서의 성능검증을 위하여 기본성능 표준시험, 실내검증실험, 현장장기실험 등의 다양항 실험적 연구를 수행하였으며, 실험결과를 통해 개발된 복합센서를 이용한 모니터링 시스템은 지반의 온도 및 함수비를 정확하게 모니터링할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Trimethylamine (TMA) is an organic amine gas that serves as a key indicator for evaluating the freshness of seafood. We synthesized a highly sensitive trimethylamine (TMA) sensor based on porous indium oxide (In₂O₃) nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with CuO in the range of 6.7 to 28.4 at.%. CuO was loaded by hydrazine reduction onto as prepared In₂O₃ NPs using the microwave irradiation method. Crystal structures, morphologies, and chemical composition of CuO/In₂O₃ nanostructures (NSs) were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The response of the 23.8 at.% CuO/In₂O₃ to 2.5 ppm TMA at 325℃ was 5.7, which was 2.8 times higher than that of porous In₂O₃ NPs. The high sensitivity and selective detection of TMA were attributed to electronic interactions between CuO and In₂O₃ and the high catalytic activity of CuO to TMA. Altogether, this CuO/In₂O₃ sensor could be used in the future to detect low concentrations of TMA, thereby aiding in the storage and distribution of marine food resources.
