Microstrip antennas are attractive for many applications because of their compact size, low profile, and light weight. Recently, the demand for the miniaturization of the personal communication equipment has been increasing along with the proliferation of personal communication systems. Thus, the development of small antenna has been highly demanded. In this paper, a new technique to reduce the overall dimension of a microstrip antenna with a locally non-homogeneous substrate configuration is proposed. The miniaturized microstrip antenna for a repeater system in a mobile communication cellular band(824~894 MHz) is designed with the proposed technique, and commercialized with low cost, light weight, and small size. Comparison between simulations, based on Agilent Technologies HFSS software, and measurements are provided. The proposed method will be more attractive for a light-weight, small-size, and low-cost microstrip array design. This paper also presents the bandwidth improvement technique for under-coupled microstrip patch antenna with a tuning stub.

본 논문에서는 이중 모드 마이크로스트립 링 공진기의 크기를 줄이기 위해 4개의 개방 스터브를 삽입하였고, 이를 이용해 중심 주파수 2 GHz에서 100 MHz의 대역폭을 갖는 대역 통과 필터를 설계하였다. 삽입된 개방 스터브의 캐패시턴스 값에 따라 링 공진기의 크기를 조절할 수 있고, 스터브들의 두 가지 조합 형태 각각의 경우에 대역 통과 필터를 설계할 수 있음을 보였다. 제안된 구조를 2단 대역 통과 필터 회로로 모델링하여 위의 두 가지 경우에 각각 필터를 설계 및 제작하였으며, 설계 결과와 측정 결과가 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

The design and implementation aspects of a new single-balanced mixer for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications are presented in this study. The proposed mixer utilizes a miniaturized UWB ring coupler as a balun, consisting of a pair of in-phase and inverted-phase transitional structures. The well-balanced UWB performance of the ring coupler, aside from the optimized diode matching, results in improved conversion loss and inter-port isolations for a wide bandwidth. The size of the implemented single-balanced diode mixer is reduced to about 60% of the area of the conventional single-balanced ring diode mixer. The measured results of the proposed mixer exhibit an average conversion loss of 7.5 dB (minimum 6.7 dB) and a port-to-port isolation of greater than 18 dB over a UWB frequency range of 3.1-10.6 GHz. The measured results agree well with the simulated results.

본 논문에서는 마이크로스트립 안테나가 광대역특성을 갖도록 하기 위해 마이크로스트립 안테나의 방사부인 패치 내부에 U형 슬롯이 놓인 마이크로스트립 구조와 안테나에 사용되는 유전체를 사용하지 않고 공기층을 이용하여 광대역화를 극대화 시키는 연구를 하였다. 실험 결과 이동통신 주파수 대역 내인 820~950MHz에서 정재파비(VSWR)는 1.4이하로 매우 잘 매칭된 안테나를 제작하였으며, 안테나의 이득도 최고 8.2dBd를 얻어 기존 다이폴에 비해 매우 높은 이득을 얻을 수 있었다. 이는 안테나를 소형화 시킬 수 있음을 뜻하는 것으로 향후, 다른 주파수 대역의 무선통신 분야나 이동통신 분야에도 사용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

초미립자시멘트는 입자 크기가 마이크로화되어 실트성 지반까지 주입가능하지만 점성이 높아 침투성이 저하되는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 유동화제를 사용하여 점성을 낮춘 초미립자주입재의 그라우팅 효과를 평가하고자 암반에서 초미립자주입재와 보통시멘트주입재의 주입효과를 비교하였다. 시추조사, 현장수압시험, 공내재하시험, 공내전단시험, 단위주입량분석, p~q~t chart 유형 분석을 실시하였다. 시험 결과 초미립자주입재를 사용하는 경우가 보통시멘트 주입재를 사용하는 경우보다 투수성, 탄성계수 및 변형계수, 단위주입량 및 주입재 회수율 등 측면에서는 유리하지만 전단응력 측면에서는 차이가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다.

Recently, more electric power facilities have been miniaturized and it is noted that the facilities maintenance will be essential through operation optimization. In this paper we applied and examined the operation optimization of electric power facilities by applying Matrix system which can improve reliability to minimize outage and recover failure rapidly when blackouts happen at 25.8kV Gas Insulated Switchgear(GIS). The fundamental problem for facilities maintenance of GIS can happen due to indeterminable internal state in real time. Matrix optimization organizes action states in all containers which contain pressurized $SF_6$ Gas such as circuit breaker, disconnector switch, bus for utilizing them each area. Then, we connect it with power system to monitor and control internal state remotely in real time, and we can minimize blackout zone or outage. Considering above process, we improved stability of overall facilities.

This paper reports a chemomechanical explosive sensor based on a thin polymer membrane. The sensor consists of thin parylene membrane and electrodes. Parylene membrane is functionalized with 4-mercaptophenol which interacts strongly with nitrotoluene based explosives. The membrane deflection caused by molecular interaction between the surface and explosives is monitored by capacitance between the membrane and the substrate. To measure the capacitance, electrodes are formed on the membrane and the substrate. While the previous cantilever system requires a bulky optical measuring system, this purely electric monitoring method offers a compact and effective system. Thus, this explosive sensor can be readily miniaturized and used in the field. The developed sensor can reliably detect dinitrotoluene and its limit of detection is evaluated as approximately 110 ppb.

This paper presents flexible electrocardiography(ECG) sensors using micro electro mechanical systems(MEMS) and flexible printed circuit(FPC) technology. By using FPC technology, ECG sensors which consisted of an outer hook-shaped electrode and an inner circular-shaped electrode were fabricated on the polyimide substrate. Thereafter, the bipolar ECG sensor was miniaturized using MEMS technology. The ECG measurement capability was examined by attaching the sensor to the human chest and wrist. Performance of the proposed sensors was then compared with ECG measured by commercial Ag/AgCl electrodes. It was verified that ECG could be measured using proposed sensors at only single body.

Currently, the mobile device is required to be miniaturized and lightweight according to the needs of the consumer. For this purpose, each part is produced and assembled in units of modules. Accordingly, the display part is also composed of a cover glass, a touch screen, And it costs a large amount to replace the whole when it is damaged. Therefore, we propose a method to improve the durability of display part using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) and MR fluid polishing. Before MR fluid polishing process, surface treatment was performed to obtain a polishable surface. A series of experiments were carried out to very fine surface roughness and to secure durability of cover glass. Polishing depth, feed rate, and abrasive size were selected to examine the MR fluid polishing results.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the crystal growth onto enamel mineral and synthetic hydroxyapatite seeds in media resembling the enamel fluid composition. Effects of fluoride at low concentrations on the precipitation were also examined in a benchtop crystal growth model adopting a miniaturized reaction column. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), as well as chemical analyses, were employed for characterization of both seed materials before and after experimentation. Remarkable findings were that (1) both biological and synthetic seeds at the same total surface areas yielded rather similar precipitation rates at all levels of fluoride concentration in solution and (2) the precipitation rate was accelerated in a manner depending on fluoride concentrations in media. FTIR differential analysis disclosed that the precipitating phase was characterized as poorly crystallized apatite, which incorporated subtle carbonate. Most of the fluoride ions in soution were readily incorporated into crystals. The overall results support the view that the seeded crystal growth model is of value to gain insight into the mechanism of enamel crystal growth under fluoride regimens.
