This letter presents a new polarizer which has a simple comb structure inside a circular waveguide. The electrical performance of the proposed comb polarizer is optimized by a circular waveguide radius and by the physical parameters of the comb plates. This polarizer is suitable for providing good performance in millimeter-band application because of its simple structure and low fabrication cost. In our experiments the dual-band comb polarizer designed in band 1(K) and band 2(Ka) showed good electrical performance without any tuning elements.

This paper reports a novel micromachining process based on UV-LIGA process and (110) silicon anisotropic etching for fabrication of a high-aspect-ratio comb actuator. The comb electrodes are fabricated by (110) SILICON comb structure considering the etch-rate-ratio between (110) and (111) planes and lateral etch rate of a beam-type structure. The fabricated structure was$ 400\mum \; thick\; and\; 18\mum$ wide comb electrodes separated by $7\mim$ so that the height-gap ratio was about 57. Also considering resonant frequency of the comb actuator and the frequency-matching between sensing and driving mode for gyroscope application, we designed the number, width, height and length of the spring structures. Electroplated gold springs on both sides of the seismic mass were $15\mum\; wide,\; 14\mum\; thick\; and \; 500\mum$ long. The fabricated comb actuator had resonant frequency ay 1430Hz, which was calculated to be 1441Hz. The proposed fabrication process can be applicable to the fabrication of a high-aspect-ratio comb actuator for a large displacement actuator and precision sensors. Moreover, this combined process enables to fabricate a more complex structure which cannot be fabricate only by surface or bulk micromachining.

In MIMO-OFDM systems, conventional channel estimation techniques using comb type training symbols give relatively large mean squared errors(MSEs) at the edge subcarriers. To reduce the MSEs at these subcarriers, a cyclic comb type training structure is proposed. In the proposed cyclic training structure, all types of training symbols are transmitted cyclically at each antenna. At the receiver, the channel frequency responses that are estimated using each training symbol are averaged with weights obtained from the corresponding MSEs. Computer simulations showed that the proposed cyclic training structure gives more SNR gain than the conventional training structure.

In general, the reinforcement of a structure is performed with cylinders. In this study, it is attempted to compare the safety Circular reinforcement with 4 fins and Honey-comb at the equal mass. Circular reinforcement with 4 fins have two kind of the models One has no hole in the upper and lower plates. The other has holes, and it is divided by 3 cases. And the maximum stress is investigated for the circular reinforcement with 4 fins and Honey-comb. The results shows that honey-comb is more strength than the others. And reinforcement with 4 fins of hole case2's maximum stress is 82% by compare 10 honey-comb.

In this study, the 'Comb-structure' model which has been developed from truss analogy is modified in order to be applied to the shear analysis of partially prestressed concrete members. The proposed 'Comb-structure' model is modified so that the position, the slope of concrete compressive chord and the slope of concrete diagonal strut may change according to the magnitude of loads and prestress. For the proposed mechanical model, non-linear beam and truss elements are used. By modifying the 'Compression-Field' theory, the equation to determine the slope angle of concrete diagonal strut can be induced. The anaysis results by the proposed 'Comb-structure' model are compared with the experimental results and validity of model is examined. It shows that the the result of 'Comb-structure' analysis lies between that of the modified M$\ddot{o}$rsch theory and classical M$\ddot{o}$rsch theory, and close to the measured value after cracking. The deflection of the beam and the stress of stirrup show good agreement, so it can be concluded that the proposed 'Comb-structure' analysis model explains the shear behavior of partially prestressed concrte beams after crack initiation.

본 논문은 무선 통신 시스템에 사용될 수 있는 저전력의 Cascaded Integrator-Comb(CIC) 필터 뱅크 구조를 제안한다. 필터 뱅크를 만들기 위해서 CIC 필터의 적분기 섹션을 변화시켜 구성하는 방법을 제안하였으며, 원하는 채널별 중심주파수를 정확히 맞추기 위하여 Modified CIC Filter(MCF)를 사용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방법으로 채널별 중심주파수가 원하는 주파수에 위치하도록 필터 뱅크를 구현할 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 각 채널별 통과대역 주파수응답특성을 개선할 수 있는 새로운 Generalized Comb Filter(GCF)를 제안하였다. 한 개의 GCF와 두 개의 GCF를 각 채널에 적용하는 방법과 그때 통과대역의 주파수응답특성이 얼마나 향상되는지를 보였다. 또한 본 논문이 제안한 CIC 필터 뱅크와 일반 FIR 필터를 사용한 필터 뱅크의 구현 소자의 수를 비교하여 구조의 우수함을 입증하였다.

Electrostatic actuation was adopted for ease of fabrication. We proposed a new driving scheme that uses the vector sum of force generated by comb-finger and by parallel plate. The moving and fixed electrodes are arranged to maximize the driving force. In this paper, an electrostatic field analysis is performed by Maxwell analysis tool for micro actuators. From the analysis, a comb-parallel type micro-actuator with 4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ width, 6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ overlap and 45${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ height could be designed. In order to compare the new type of actuator with the conventional comb type of actuator, we arranged that both types have the same area and the same number of actuators. To make a high aspect ratio structure, we are developing fabrication process using SU-8 and electro-plating.

In this paper, we propose a Lyot-type optical fiber comb filter based on a polarization-diversity loop structure (PDLS), which has flat-top pass bands and multiwavelength switching capability. Generally, the PDLS can remove the dependency of the filter on input polarization. The proposed filter is composed of a polarization beam splitter, two half-wave plates (HWPs), and two polarization-maintaining fiber loops concatenated with a $60^{\circ}$ offset between their principal axes. By controlling two HWPs, it can operate in a flat-top band mode or a lossy flat-top band mode with an inherent insertion loss of ~3.49dB. In particular, flat-top bands can be interleaved in both modes, which cannot be realized in a Lyot-Sagnac comb filter based on a fiber coupler. Compared with Solc-type high-order comb filters with the same order, the proposed filter shows sharper transition between pass and stop bands.

This paper presents a new configuration of dielectric bandpass filter using the comb-line filter design theory. This filter is composed of a homogeneous dielectric monoblock $(\varepsilonr=35.5)$ with two metal post and a dielectric sheet $(\varepsilonr=9.8).$ In this structure, the RF leakage is suppressed without other shield housing. For the fabricated filter, insertion loss value in the passband region was 0.9dB(Max.) and return loss value was 19dB(Min). Also, this filter has a attenuation pole in the stopband.

The genera Hypnea and Calliblepharis of the family Cystocloniaceae are discriminated by their female reproductive structure, especially in the formation of carposporangia and gonimoblasts. Hypnea saidana, once classified based on obsolete evidence, has not been studied phylogenetically using molecular analysis and detailed reproductive structure though it shares many morphologic features with the genus Calliblepharis. To provide better understanding of generic relationship of H. saidana with Hypnea and Calliblepharis, we carried out molecular analyses using the nuclear-encoded small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU) and chloroplast-encoded large subunit of the RuBisCO (rbcL), and exact morphological observations focusing on the reproductive structures of wild specimens. Our molecular phylogeny showed that H. saidana is closely related to Calliblepharis, but distinct from the clade of Hypnea. Female reproductive structure of H. saidana characterized by upwardly developing chains of carposporangia, central reticulum of cell, and gonimoblast filaments not connected to the pericarp provides definite evidence to assign the taxonomic position of this species to Calliblepharis. Based on our combined molecular and morphological analyses, we have proposed Calliblepharis saidana comb. nov., expanding the distribution of Calliblepharis habitat from the eastern Atlantic South Africa, the northern Indian Ocean, Australasia, and Brazil to the western Pacific Ocean.
