The n-type Bi_2-xSb_xTe₃ compounds have been of great interest due to its potential to achieve a high thermoelectric performance, comparable to that of p-type Bi_2-xSb_xTe₃. However, a comprehensive understanding on the thermoelectric properties remains lacking. Here, we investigate the thermoelectric transport properties and band characteristics of n-type Bi_2-xSb_xTe₃ (x = 0.1 - 1.1) based on experimental and theoretical considerations. We find that the higher power factor at lower Sb content results from the optimized balance between the density of state effective mass and nondegenerate mobility. Additionally, a higher carrier concentration at lower x suppresses bipolar conduction, thereby reducing thermal conductivity at elevated temperatures. Consequently, the highest zT of ~ 0.5 is observed at 450 K for x = 0.1 and, according to the single parabolic band model, it could be further improved by ~70 % through carrier concentration tuning.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated the multi band Transceiver Assembly(TCA) for the Multi Channel Synthetic Aperture Radar(MCSAR) containing C-band, X-band, Ku-band and we researched to verify electrical performance of TCA. The transceiver consists of transmitters, receivers, signal selection modules for each band, and stability oscillator, frequency synthesizer, controller, power distributor. The transceiver has a receive path selection and bandwidth selection functions in accordance with the operating mode. And the transceiver can transmit and receive all three bands simultaneously, each band has a bandwidth of up to 300 MHz. Final transmission output of transceiver for each band is over 20 dBm to be suitable for driving the T/R module. Receiver bandwidth is selected according to the required function and receiver gain has approximately C-band 52 dB, X-band 50 dB, Ku-band 60 dB, the maximum noise figure of Ku-band V polarization is 4.28 dB in the whole band H, V polarization. As a result of the electrical performance test, a multi-band TCA is satisfied the property requirements of the MCSAR.

In this paper, a local oscillator for X-band radar system is designed and fabricated with GaAs MESFET. GaAs MESFET is good for microwave oscillators because of very low noise figure and high electron mobility. Oscillator design methods in this paper are used the characteristic of negative resistance of active component and impedance matching technique without RF resonator. So, oscillator is designed in compact size because space of RF resonator is reduced and can be applied MMIC technique.

Adsorption mechanism of alkyl aldehydes, acetaldehyde, acrolein, and crotonaldehyde on cations supported by layer silicates was studied by means of IR spectroscopy and X-ray. An analysis of four characteristic split bands in the region of $1720∼1580㎝^{-1}$ was made. The carbonyl stretching band which shifted about $130㎝^{-1}$ to lower frequencies was observed only for $Ni^{2+}$ and Al^{3+}$ but slightly with $Ca^{2+}$ at high sample temperature and was attributed to >C=O…M complex formation. A sharp band which appeared as a shoulder at 1722 for acetaldehyde and 1690 for acrolein and crotonaldehyde was responsible for the interaction of carbonyl with surface hydroxyl. The second broad band which appeared at about 1710~1660 was responsible for hydrogen bonding between carbonyl oxygen and cationic hydroxyl group. The third band which appeared at about 1640~1660 was attributed to induced >C=C< double bond due to the strong carbonyl interaction. This was supported by the interlamellar spacings obtained by X-ray diffractometry.

Today, most detection systems used in the marine industry are the majority of devices operating in the high-power X-band bands. While most detection systems using these frequencies in the X-Band band can expect a wide range of detection performance, they are not suitable for precision detection and have the limitation that they are large and heavy. In this paper, we designed, fabricated and tested an electronic scanner capable of detecting not only the surrounding objects but also the ocean waves at a low power of less than 2W in the 17GHz frequency band of the Ku-Band. A high-performance patch array antenna and Doppler effect were utilized to obtain sufficient detection performance even at low power. As a result of the test, it was confirmed that the performance was sufficiently valuable.

Necessity of compact X-band solid-state weather radar is required to provide weather data, which generate locally in a lot of Korea's mountainous area, rather than tube-type radar. Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA) for using Dual-polarization method in weather radar is able to obtain desired high output by combining many low output power devices in parallel. Thus, Power combiner applying to high-output power amplifier has disadvantages such as path loss, ballast resistance problem by high frequency and high power, heat release. Therefore, In this paper we demonstrated the excellence of isolation, which is the result from modified Gysel power combiner. As a result, we designed X-band 250W solid state power amplifier with peak power 54dBm, 25% power efficiency for weather radar.

Stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric $Y_{3-x}Fe_{5+x}O_{12})$ polycrystalline samples (x=0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.30, -0.05, -0.10, -0.30) were prepared by solid state reaction method. The magnetic properties of the sample were investigated by FMR (ferromagnetic resonance) technique at microwave frequency 5.11 GHz (G-band) and 23.39 GHz (K-band) respectively. The spectroscopic splitting factor g were estimated to be 2.04~2.35 from the derivative absorption lines. As the samples became yttrium $(Y^{3+})$ excess and iron $(Fe^{3+})$ excess, Magnetizations were decreased. But resonance linewidth were increased. To investigate the anisotropy, the angular dependence of resonance magnetic fields were measured. Angular dependence of effective magnetizations were measured by FMR from 77 K to 300 K at K-band microwave frequency (23.39 GHz) and the saturation magnetizations were measured by VSM. The Bloch coefficients B and C were determined by fitting. $M_{eff}(0)$ was obtained by the extrapolation from 80 K. From this result, the spin wave stiffness constant D $(about\; 162~206 \;eV{\AA}^2)$and average square range of exchange interaction $$$(about \;5.84~12.13\;{\AA}^2)$ were determined.

The symmetry of the conduction-band minimum of $GaAs_{1-x}N_{x}$ is probed by performing resonant Raman scattering (RRS) on thin layers of $GaAs_{1-x}N_{x}(x{\leq}0.7)$ epitaxially grown on Ge substrates. Strong resonance enhancement of the LO(longitudinal optical)-phonon Raman intensity is observed with excitation energies near the $E_0$ as well as $E_+$ transitions, However, in contrast to the distinct LO-phonon line-width resonance enhancement and activation of various X and L zone-boundary phonons brought about slightly below and near the $E_+$ transition, respectively, we have not observed any resonant LO-phonon line-width broadening or activation of sharp zone-boundary phonons near the $E_0$ transition. The observed RRS results reveal that the conduction-band minimum of GaAsN predominantly consists of the delocalized GaAs bulk-like states of ${\Gamma}$ symmetry.

We have designed a three-channel output multiplexer (OMUX) using a band-pass filter and an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna. The proposed band-pass filter is composed of an inner rectangular loop, an outer open stub, and a defected ground structure. The outer open stub can be used to control the pass band, and the inner rectangular loop can improve the insertion loss characteristics of the band-pass filter. The proposed band-pass filter, UWB antenna, and OMUX are fabricated and measured. The designed OMUX can cover the band group 1 (3,168-4,752 MHz) of WiX system. The measured radiation patterns are close to those of a conventional dipole antenna and the measured antenna gain varies from 1.8 dBi to 3 dBi over the operating frequency range.
