The remarkable progress of electronics and radio communications technology has made our life abundant. On the other hand, the countermeasure of EMC becomes more important socially according to the increased use of electromagnetic waves. It had been required that the absorbing ability of an electromagnetic wave absorber is mote than 20 dB, the bandwidth of which is required through 30 MHz to 1,000 MHB for satisfying the international standard about an anechoic chamber lot EMl/EMS measurement. From November of 1998, however, the CISPR11 has accepted the extended frequency band from 30 MHz to 18 GHz in the bandwidth of EMI measurement. In this paper, we proposed the cutting corn-shaped type satisfying the above requirements and carried out broadband design using the equivalent material constants method. Moreover, we have fabricated it and compared its characteristics with simulated one.

The main objective of this paper is to apply as the basic data for development of a methodology to discuss the future earthquake preparedness measures in Korea by investigating the concept and applicabilities of the Japanese Standard for Evaluation of Seismic Performance of Existing RC Buildings developed in Japan among the methodologies of all the countries of the world. This paper describes the seismic performance, Is-index, of existing RC buildings in Tokyo, Japan evaluated by the Japanese Standard, also the relationships between Is-index distribution of existing RC buildings in Tokyo and that of Shizuoka and Chiba Prefecture reported already in reference[4][5][6] are investigated. And from the comparison with Is-index to buildings damaged by earthquakes experienced in Japan, the damage ratio due to severe earthquake of 3 districts mentioned above is estimated based on the probabilistic point of view. The results of this study can be utilized to identify urgently required earthquake preparedness measures with highest priority in existing RC buildings, and the methodology to evaluate the seismic performance of existing RC buildings in Japan, statistics analysis method and the methodology to estimate earthquake damage ratio based on the probabilistic point of view shown in this study can be recommended to develop a methodology to discuss the future earthquake preparedness measures in Korea.
