In this study, the boundary element method (BEM) is used to treat the homogenization of the baffle and reflector. First, the multigroup diffusion equations (MDE) within the core are solved using BEM as a source problem under the assumption that the core material is uniformly distributed. Then, the solution to MDE for the water reflector which should be extended infinite can be attained from a boundary source problem also via BEM. Finally, these two solutions are coupled through albedos of the slab-shaped baffle so that one could obtain heterogeneous interface currents and fluxes between the core and the baffle/reflector resulting in the location-dependent equivalent parameters for the baffle/reflector.

The CATR(Compact Antenna Test Range) is a testing facility which is to provide the uniform plane wave by using the reflector. As the ripple of the uniform plane wave caused by the diffraction rays at the edge of the reflector, serrations are attached at the edge of the reflector to minimize the ripple of the uniform plane wave in the CATR. The diffraction field of the serration is normally analyzed by the Fresnel diffraction formula which is expressed as the double integration, and the structure of the serration is expressed as Fourier series to apply the double integration of the Fresnel diffraction formula. In this paper, the novel shark-fin shaped serrations which have the height modulation of the adjacent serrations are proposed. And the triangular serrations and the novel shark-fin shaped serrations are compared to confirm that the performance of the quiet zone by the shark-fin shaped serrations is better than by the triangular serrations. It is also confirmed that the novel shark-fin shaped serrations which have the height modulation of the adjacent serrations are lower ripple than which have the same height of the adjacent serrations. Accordingly, the novel shark-fin shaped serrations with the height modulation can be used at the edge of the reflector to provide the uniform plane wave in CATR.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the radiation characteristics of the shaped Cassegrainian antenna. Radiation pattern of the sub-reflector is calculated by GTD (Geometrical Theory of Diffraction) The complete radiation patterns are obtained by summing the reflect field from the surface and the diffracted fields from the edge. The first and the second derivative on the sub-reflector are calculated by the local interpolation technique. The Radiation characteristics of the main-reflector are obtained by integrating the surface current density, which is derived from PO approximation. The radiation integral is expanded by the Jacobi-Bessel series for the purpose of reducing the computation time.

The existing raised pavement marker, however, have some limitations. Most of them are square-shaped which makes only forward and backward retro-reflection, their orientation can be easily changed by impact of vehicle, and the surface reflector can be readily contaminated leading poor functioning. In addition, maintenance for broken raised pavement marker is not easy. The purpose of the study is to design and manufacture a new and improved type of raised pavement marker. The new raised pavement marker has round-shaped upper structure. Its body was separated from the holder and the reflector was surrounded by acrylic cover. We tested performances of the constituent parts, optimum load after installation, and reflection efficiency. The new raised pavement marker will be an initiation of studies on the improvement of the shape and performance of raised pavement markers.

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.

Tbis topic is about the development of a 2-dimensional specular reflector design aid software. For a long and cylindrical shaped lamp with perfect diffusing smface, direction and quantity of reflected light flux from a specular reflector strip can be calculated consideJing reabsorption by the lamp itself. Assuming a reflector as a combination of several strip segments, the reflected flux is calculated as position, length and declination of each segment are detennined. At each step, calculated reflected flux distribution and desired flux distribution is compared graphically and numerically, so that roost optimized and efficient reflector shape can be decided by the designer. We think that this software would be useful for designing reflectors for relatively long light sources, such as fluorescent lamp, tubular high pressure sodium lamp, low pressure sodium lamp, and so on. so on.

This paper describes composite cavity-backed crossed scythe-shaped dipoles with wide-beam circularly polarized (CP) radiation for use in Global Navigation Satellite Systems. Each branch of the dipole arm contains a meander line, with the end shaped like a scythe to achieve a significant reduction in the size of the radiator. For dual-band operation, each dipole arm is divided into two branches of different lengths. The dipoles are crossed through a $90^{\circ}$ phase delay line of a vacant-quarter printed ring to achieve CP radiation. The crossed dipoles are incorporated with a cavity-backed reflector to make the CP radiation unidirectional and to improve the CP radiation beamwidth. The proposed antennas have broad impedance matching and 3-dB axial ratio bandwidths, as well as right-hand CP radiation with a wide-beamwidth and high front-to-back ratio.

The bandwidth of microstrip slot antenna with T-shaped feed line was a wider than one of the conventional feeding structure. When the slot antenna with bi-directional radiator wants to radiate only one direction, the reflector must be set up seperately. But this antenna doesn't need set up reflector. And then we proposed to a new method of a directional slot radiator with a cross-shaped feedline including the reflector using 2-layers dielectric materials. It is calculated waves and electric field distribution in the time domain by using FDTD method. We also are calculated return loss, VSWR, input impedance, and radiation pattern in the frequency domain by Fourier transforming the time domain results, respectively. It was found that the bandwidth of this antenna changes as length($\I_s$) and width($\W_s$) of slot, length of the horizontal feedline($\I_d$), length of the vertical feedline($\I_u$) and offset sensitively. After optimizing the parameters of design, the maximum bandwidth was measured as 1,850MHz at the center frequency 2.5 GHz.

In recent, there have been several developments in lamp technology that promise savings in electrical power consumption and improved quality of the lighting space. Above all, the advantage of ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamp is the removal of internal electrodes and heating filaments that are a light-limiting factor of conventional fluorescent lamps. Therefore, the life time of ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamps is substantially higher than that of conventional fluorescent lamps and last up to 60,000 hours and is intended as a high efficacy replacement for the incandescent reflector lamp in many applications. In this paper, maxwell 3D finite element analysis program (Ansoft) was used to obtain electromagnetic properties associated with the coil and nearby structures. The electromagnetic emitting properties were presented by D simulation software operated at 250KHz and some specific conditions. Photometric characteristic of the ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamp were investigated using LS-100 lightmeter and TA-0510 thermometer respectively.
