This paper describes the dielectric characteristics of composite dielectric film for pulsed power capacitors. The relative electric permittivity(${\varepsilon}'$) and the dielectric dissipation factor(tan$\delta$) were measured for polypropylene (PP) membranes, kraft paper for capacitors(CP) and composite dielectric films(PP+CP), respectively, in a frequency range of $1{\sim}10^4$[Hz], and in temperatures ranging from -50[$^{\circ}C$] to 110[$^{\circ}C$]. As a result, the variation of the electric permittivity was observed similarly for PP and CP. Dielectric dispersion was observed in frequency domain in PP, CP and composite dielectric films.

We analyzed the cross-shaped microstripline-fed slot antenna with the reflector using FDTD(Finite-Difference Time-Domain) method in this paper. The proposed antenna uses RR Duroid-5880 substrate(relative permittivity 2.2 and height(1.578 mm) of dielectrics), and compares the optimized results of other kind substrates. The maximum bandwidth of the proposed antenna is from 1.91 GHz to 5.21 GHz, which is approximately 1.437 octave for the VSWR $\leq$ 2. It was found that the bandwidth of the antenna depend highly on the length of the horizontal and vertical feedline as well as the offset position of the feedline. The experimented data for the VSWR and the radiation pattern of the antenna are also represented.

In this paper, we fabricated the EM wave absorber for 94 GHz radar sensors using Permalloy of magnetic material with chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), and S-parameter was measured. The complex relative permittivity and permeability are calculated by the measured data. Absorption abilities are simulated according to different thickness of the EM wave absorbers, and the EM wave absorber was manufactured based on the simulated design. Simulated and measured results agree very well. As a result, we developed the EM wave absorber with the thickness of 1.15 mm which has an absorption ability of 18 dB at 94 GHz.

In this study, composite $BaSrTiO_3$ has been studied for high frequency device applications. Composite $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}TiO_3$ has high dielectric permittivity and low loss tangent at the relative frequency range from MHz to GHz. 10,30 and 50 wt% of epoxy doped $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}TiO_3$ powders were prepared with bisphenol A and F polymer employing ball milling process. Epoxy/($BaSrTiO_3$) composites thick films were screen printed on the Cu plated PCB substrates through screen printing methods. The specimens were designed for the embedded capacitor applications. Temperature dependent dielectric permittivity of Epoxy doped $BaSrTiO_3$ ceramics was measured.

The subsidence of ground in urban area can be caused by the occurrence of the cavity and the change in ground volumetric water content. The objective of this study is the detection of abnormal area of ground in urban area where the cavity or the change in ground volumetric water content is occurred by the ground penetrating radar signal. GPR survey is carried out on the test bed with a circular buried object. From the GPR survey, the signals filtered by the bandpass filtering are measured, and the methods consisting of gain function, time zero, background removal, deconvolution and display gain are applied to the filtered signals. As a result of application of the signal processing methods, the polarity of signal corresponds with the relation of electrical impedance of the cavity and the ground in test bed. In addition, the relative permittivity calculated by GPR signal is compared with that of predicted by volumetric water content of the test bed. The relative permittivities obtained from two different methods show similar values. Therefore, the abnormal area where the change in ground volumetric water content is occurred can be detected from the results of the GPR survey in case the depth of underground utilities is known. Signal processing methods and estimation of relative permittivity performed in this study may be effectively used to detect the abnormal area of ground in urban area.

In this paper, a design method for an enhanced-sensitivity microwave sensor based on microstrip defected ground structure was studied for the permittivity measurement of planar dielectric substrates. The proposed sensor was designed by modifying the ridge structure of an H-shaped aperture into the shape of a capacitor symbol. The sensitivity of the proposed sensor was compared with that of a conventional sensor based on a double-ring complementary split ring resonator(DR-CSRR). Two sensors were designed and fabricated on a 0.76-mm-thick RF-35 substrate so that the transmission coefficient would resonate at 1.5 GHz in the absence of the substrate under test. Five types of taconic substrates with a relative permittivity ranging from 2.17 to 10.2 were selected asthe substrate under test. Experiment results show that the sensitivity of the proposed sensor, which is measured by the shift in the resonant frequency of the transmission coefficient, is 1.31 to 1.62 times higher than that of the conventional DR-CSRR-based sensor.

In this paper, the EM wave absorber was designed and fabricated for ETC system, because ETC system has some problems including signal error and system-to-system interference. We fabricated some samples in different composition ratio of MnZn-ferrite, Carbon and CPE, confirmed that optimum composition ratio of Mn2n-ferrite, Carbon, CPE was 40 : 15 : 45 wt%. Complex relative permittivity and complex relative permeability was calculated by the measured data. And absorption abilities were simulated according to different thickness of the EM wave absorbers using complex relative permittivity and permeability. The EM wave absorber was fabricated based on simulated data Simulated and measured values agree well. As a result, the developed EM wave absorber has a thickness of 3.38 mm and absorption ability over 20 dB at 5.8 GHz.

In this paper, a humidity sensor using a microstrip patch antenna(MPA) and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) is studied. PVA is a polymer material whose permittivity changes with humidity, and a rectangular slot is added to the radiating edge of the MPA, which is sensitive to changes in electric field, in order to increase the sensitivity to changes in relative permittivity. After thinly coating the area around the radiating edge with the rectangular slot of the MPA fabricated on a 0.76 mm-thick RF-35 substrate with PVA, the changes in the resonant frequency and magnitude of the MPA's input reflection coefficient are measured when relative humidity is adjusted from 40% to 80% in 10% increments at a temperature of 25 degrees using a temperature and humidity chamber. Experiment results show that when the relative humidity increases from 40% to 80%, the resonance frequency of the antenna' input reflection coefficient decreases from 2.447 GHz to 2.418 GHz, whereas the magnitude increases from -7.112 dB to -3.428 dB.

$(Ba_{0.5}\;Ca_{0.5})TiO_{3}$ humidity-sensitive devices were fabricated by a solid reaction method, and their electrical properties were investigated. The specimens exhibited good humidity sensitivity, in which the impedance changes linearly. It is shown that electrical conduction with moisture adsorption is dominated by the ions through characteristics of charging and discharing current, and electrical conductivity increases as rasing the temperature and relative humidity. It is realized that relative permittivity increases and activation energy decreases with increasing relative humidity.

The dielectric-spectroscopic and ac conductivity studies firstly carried out on layered manganese doped Sodium Lithium Trititanates ($Na_{1.9}Li_{0.1}Ti_3O_7$). The dependence of loss tangent (Tan$\delta$), relative permittivity ($\varepsilon_r$) and ac conductivity ($\sigma_{ac}$) in temperature range 373-723K and frequency range 100Hz-1MHz studied on doped derivatives. Various conduction mechanisms are involved during temperature range of study like electronic hopping conduction in lowest temperature region, for MSLT-1 and MSLT-2. The hindered interlayer ionic conduction exists with electronic hopping conduction for MSLT-3. The associated interlayer ionic conduction exists in mid temperature region for all doped derivatives. In highest temperature region modified interlayer ionic conduction along with the polaronic conduction, exist for MSLT-1, MSLT-2, and only modified interlayer ionic conduction for MSLT-3. The loss tangent (Tan$\delta$) in manganese-doped derivatives of layered $Na_{1.9}Li_{0.1}Ti_3O_7$ ceramic may be due to contribution of electric conduction, dipole orientation, and space charge polarization. The corresponding increase in the values of relative permittivity may be due to increase in number of dipoles in the interlayer space while the corresponding decrease in the values of relative permittivity may be due to the increase in the leakage current due to the higher doping.
