Using modal transmission-line theory (MTLT), itexplores rigorously the polarization characteristics of TE-TM mode optical polarized beamsplitter with misaligned input interface. To verify the validity of the approach proposed in this paper, a novel polarization condition is defined, and it compares and evaluates with the polarization condition of coupled-mode theory (CMT) used widely. The numerical results reveal that the discontinuity of misaligned input interface has nothing to do with the polarization condition of beamsplitter. Furthermore, the condition of CMT is no longer effective at the asymmetric guiding structures with strong power coupling.

Performance of micro scale intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell system has been successfully evaluated by computer simulation based on macro modeling. Two systems were studied in this work. The one is designed that the ceria-based electrolyte placed between composite electrodes and the other is designed that electrodes alternately placed on the electrolyte. The injected gas was composed of hydrogen and air. The polarization curve was obtained through a series of calculations for ohmic loss, activation loss and concentration loss. The calculation of each loss was based on the solving of mathematical model of multi physical-phenomena such as ion conduction, fluid dynamics and diffusion and convection by Finite Element Method (FEM). The performance characteristics of SOFC were quantitatively investigated for various structural parameters such as distance between electrodes and thickness of electrolyte.

This paper was studied on the wear-corrosion behavior of ductile cast iron in the acidic environment. In the dry atmosphere and variety of pH solution, wear-corrosion characteristics and friction coefficient of GCD 60 with various sliding speed and distance were investigated. And electrochemical polarization test of GCD 60 was examined in the environment of various pH value. The main results are as following : In the dry atmosphere, boundary friction appears below nearly 5 $kg_{f}$ of contact load, and it is considered that solid friction occurs over nearly 5 $kg_{f}$ of contact load. As pH value becomes low, wear-corrosion loss in the aqueous solution increases. As the corrosion environment is acidified, corrosion potential of GCD 60 becomes noble, polarization resistance becomes low, and corrosion current density increases.

Wavelength tunable fiber ring laser can be tuned by causing a resonance on the optical path having the least loss which is controlled by a polarization adjustment. It is observed that lasing wavelengths having 1 nm FSR(Free Spectral Range) can be tuned over the range of 1540~1560 nm when a polarization controller and an intra-cavity polarizer are adjusted. The tuning mechanism can be expected by analyzing the characteristics of the laser output using an optical path model and the concept of a birefringence loss. It is found that the constructive interference between longitudinal modes of different optical paths may cause wavelength tuning in the fiber ring laser.

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.

Telemetry link is dynamic communication link that antenna gain and polarization are varying with the movement of the airplane. In this paper we calculated the antenna gain, polarization mismatch using the flight trajectory, motion of the airplane and 3D antenna pattern. And we modeled the multipath environment to the 2-Ray spherical earth reflection geometry, estimated the received signal strength when the narrow beam antenna received the RF signal transmitted from the airplane. Also we performed the flight test and after comparing measured value with the estimated value, we confirmed to almost coincide with each other.

Whereas it is well known that microwave propagation around corners of urban area is estimated well by the uniform geometrical theory of diffraction (UTD), it is not clear how much depolarization occurs at a given receiver position and how much transmission through walls affects to total path loss. This paper presents the results of the ray tracing simulation to answer these questions. Simulations of microwave propagation around corners were performed for various line-of-sight (LOS) and out-of-sight(OOS) positions of a receiver, by summing the electrical fields of reflected, diffracted and transmitted rays coherently. Since height difference between transmitter and receiver, as well as ground plane, causes depolarization, the ray tracing simulation estimates the cross-polarization coupling. It was found that the cross-polarization coupling decreases as receiver moves away from transmitter. Another part of the study focused on the signal transmitted through building walls of the corner. It was found that the transmitted field is dominant at OOS region when the conductivity of the walls is low (for example, lower than 0.0l S/m). The simulation results of the ray tracing technique in this study agreed well with an experimental measurement around corners.

The dielectric properties of polymers are very important when investigating the molecular structure of polymers. The characteristics of the dielectric absorption in vulcanized natural rubber were studied in frequency ranging from 10[KHz] to 32[MHz] at the temperature of 25[$^{\circ}C$]. As a result of the study, it has been confirmed that natural rubber vulcanized below 4phr leads to two kinds of dielectric losses due to the interfacial polarization and the dipole polarization by sulfur, and of above 7[%] was only a loss due to the dipole polarization by sulfur. Futhermore, the dielectric loss maximum $tan{\delta}$ spectrum, removed to the low frequency in accordance with increasing sulfur, depends greatly on sulfur. The volume resistivity of $10^{7}{\sim}10^{11}[{\Omega}{\cdot}cm}]$, regardless of whether the crosslinking of rubber is weakened by sulfur, was observed.
