Low temperature SiOx film process has being required for both silicon and oxide (IGZO) based low temperature thin film transistor (TFT) for application of flexible display. In recent decades, from low density and high pressure such as capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) type plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to the high density plasma and low pressure such as inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) have been used to researching to obtain high quality silicon oxide (SiOx) thin film at low temperature. However, these plasma deposition devices have limitation of controllability of process condition because process parameters of plasma deposition such as RF power, working pressure and gas ratio influence each other on plasma conditions which non-leanly influence depositing thin film. In compared to these plasma deposition devices, neutral beam assisted chemical vapor deposition (NBaCVD) has advantage of independence of control parameters. The energy of neutral beam (NB) can be controlled independently of other process conditions. In this manner, we obtained NB dependent high crystallized intrinsic and doped silicon thin film at low temperature in our another papers. We examine the properties of the low temperature processed silicon oxide thin films which are fabricated by the NBaCVD. NBaCVD deposition system consists of the internal inductively coupled plasma (ICP) antenna and the reflector. Internal ICP antenna generates high density plasma and reflector generates NB by auger recombination of ions at the surface of metal reflector. During deposition of silicon oxide thin film by using the NBaCVD process with a tungsten reflector, the energetic Neutral Beam (NB) that controlled by the reflector bias believed to help surface reaction. Electrical and structural properties of the silicon oxide are changed by the reflector bias, effectively. We measured the breakdown field and structure property of the Si oxide thin film by analysis of I-V, C-V and FTIR measurement.

In this paper, we studied on dual reflector adjusted to monopulse antenna system. As a result, when the efficiency of main reflector is more than 70%, The size of reflector is 30 wavelength of maximum frequency and minimum frequency gain is 37.9dBi, and Maximum frequency gain is 38.6dBi. Also, when a radius is D and Focus-distance is $F_e$, a scheme for efficiency improvement of Sub Reflector is to increase the Focus-distance to Diameter Ratio. In this case, Cross polarization in Far field improved and spherical spreading loss in circumference of reflector reduced. The influence of Radiation pattern followed by the side displacement of feed antenna(at $x_sy_s$) is decreased, it is confirmed that performance of scanning is improved.

In general, the cassegrain dual offset reflector is used for the satellite communication antenna, but is analyzed as the reflector system for the CPTR(Compact Payload Test Range) facility in here. The near-field at the test zone of the CPTR is obtained by using the physical optics approximation. The CPTR has to provide a uniform plane wave with the minimum amplitude and phase ripple and the low cross polarization. Therefore, in this paper, the near-field pattern are calculated, and the ripple and taper of the field and the cross polarization are investigated with the variation of the reflector geometry and the position of the test region. Especially, the cross polarization of the antenna axis direction which is not found in the satellite reflector antennas is investigated.

This paper proposes an ultra-wideband Log-Periodic Dipole Array(LPDA) antenna for the feeder of a reflector antenna to be used for airborne spinning direction-finding and detecting wideband signals. To obtain the ultra-wideband characteristics over the 20:1 bandwidth from S to Ka band, the radiation elements of the antenna were printed on a substrate and a wedge-typed dielectric supporter with robust structure was inserted between the substrates. Also, the center portion of the supporter was replaced by a styrofoam material to reduce the supporter weight. The 5-dB return loss of the designed LPDA antenna showed ultra-wideband characteristics, which are 37.57:1(1.09~40.95 GHz) in the simulation and 33.85:1(1.31~44.35 GHz) in the measurement. We achieved the required gains of 5.78 dBi in the simulation and 5.76 dBi in the measurement in the operating band. The proposed robust, light-weight, and ultra-wideband LPDA antenna confirmed that it can be applied for airborne applications.

This paper presents an optimized design of a millimeter-wave on-chip dipole antenna using CMOS process. The serious flaw of the antenna using CMOS process is low radiation efficiency because of high permittivity and conductivity. To overcome the weakness, we need to widen radiation area in air and optimize distance between an antenna and a reflector. The radiation efficiency and bandwidth of the designed antenna are respectively 16.5 % and 22.3 % at 80 GHz. Systematic methods are attempt to analyze an effect on the antenna radiation efficiency. To widen radiation area in air, substrate cut angle and distance between the antenna and chip edge are adjusted. In addition, to optimize distance between an antenna and reflector, substrate thickness and distance between the antenna and a circuit ground plane are adjusted.

In this paper, we introduce a design method for a broadband planar quasi-Yagi antenna (QYA) for terrestrial digital television (DTV) receiving. The coplanar strip line feeding the driver dipole is connected to a microstrip line and is terminated by short circuit. By appending a wide strip-type director at a location close to the driver dipole, a broadband impedance matching and a gain characteristics in a high frequency region are obtained. The gain characteristics in a low frequency region are improved by adding a reflector formed by a truncated ground plane. To reduce the antenna size, the strip-type dipole and reflector are modified to half bowtie (V)-shaped elements. The effects of various parameters on the antenna characteristics are examined. An antenna, as an design example for the proposed antenna, is designed for the operation in the frequency band of 470-806 MHz for terrestrial DTV. The optimized antenna is fabricated on an FR4 substrate and tested experimentally to verify the results of this study.

In this paper, we studied a design method for obtaining broadband property by loading a chip capacitor on a coplanar waveguide(CPW)-fed compact quasi-Yagi antenna(QYA). The proposed antenna is a three-element QYA with dipole, reflector, and director. To reduce the size, the ends of both dipole and reflector are bent, and balun is incorporated in the antenna. To improve impedance matching, the loading position and capacitance value of chip capacitor were determined. From some simulations, the proposed antenna using an FR4 substrate with a size of 90 mm by 90 mm was designed for the operation in a broadband covering the UHF RFID and GPS systems. The antenna showed a good performance with a broadband of 850-1,626 MHz(62.7%) for a VSWR ${\leq}2$, a gain ${\geq}3dBi$, and a frong-to-back ratio ${\geq}4.6dB$.

Using symplectic relation and reaction concept, we propose a planar near-field antenna measurement method. A generalized probe compensation equation is deduced to obtain the probe correction formulation. To verify our approach, a reflector antenna with $1{\times}2$ horn array is fabricated and measured in the near-field measurement facility. The near-field measurement results are compared with the physical optics (PO) simulation. The results of measurement and simulation agree very well near to the mainbeam.

Due to big demand for satellite and communication service using personal handheld terminals, demand for satellites with huge antennas is increasing correspondingly. While such large antennas are realized by various types of deployable antennas, the reflecting surface is made by many facets irrespective of deploying mechanisms. In order to analyze the faceted-reflector more accurately, an existing ray-tracing method is improved. The algorithm allows the rays to cross each other, which is the main characteristic of the faceted-reflector, and takes unevenness of amplitude and phase over the aperture plane into consideration. For the study of the effect of facet configuration, facet generating algorithm is devised. From the analysis algorithm and the facet-generating algorithm, it has been found that the number of facets in a radial direction affects both directivity and sidelobe level. On the other hand, the number of facets in a circumferential direction affects sidelobe level only.

A deployment mechanism is designed to stow into a small volume efficiently. The panels are fabricated by carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs). The parameters for the deployment are determined by considering the number of panels, the folding/twisting angles, and the driving force for a deployment device. In addition, a surface accuracy of the manufactured reflector is measured through a photogrammetry methodology. The deployment behavior of CFRP reflector is observed by using the zero-gravity device which compensates the gravity effect during the deployment. The zero-gravity device is constructed wire, motor, controller and loadcell. During the deployment of the reflector panel, the wire and motor compensate for its weight by the feedback process of the controller. Tests result show that a zero-gravity device compensates for the weight of the panel during the deployment of the CFRP reflector.
