In this paper, a push-push oscillator at K-band with a double H-shape metamaterial resonator (DHMR) based on high-Q is proposed with metamaterial structure to improve the phase noise and output power. The proposed oscillator shows low phase noise and high output power. DHMR is designed to be high-Q at resonance frequency through strong coupling of E-field. oscillators which are combined in push-push structure improve output power. The propose push-push oscillator shows the output power of 3.1 dBm, the fundamental signal suppression of -23.7 dBc and phase noise of -116.28 dBc at 100 kHz offset frequency and 20.20 GHz center frequency.

In conclusion, a high-Tc superconducting YBa sub(2) Cu sub(3) O sub(y) phase with zero resistance at about 90K was successfully prepared by nitrate solution method with densed micro structure. The result of the EDAX analysis on the isolated particles using the microscopic meissner effect showed that the particles were isolated at higher temperature due to the differences in O vacances rather than the differences in chemical compositions. The composition of the isolated particles were almost identical to the starting compositions on the samples prepared by the solid reaction and nitrate solution method but the Ba-rich composition were seen in the coprecipitated sample. The isolation process on Bi system was not successful due to the weak dimagnetism even though its high Tc above the liquid nitrogen temperature.

The structural and electric properties of $Y_{1-x}$YbF$_{x}$Ba$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-y}$(x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6) have been investigated by using XRD(X-ray diffraction), TMA(thennomechanical analysis), NMR(nuclear magnetic resonance) analysis and four probe method. $Y_{1-x}$YbF$_{x}$Ba$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-y}$ samples were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method using $Y_{2}$O$_{3}$, BaCO$_{3}$, CuO and YbF$_{3}$ power. TMA and high temperature XRD results shows that orthorhombic to tetragonal phase transition occurs in the unfluorinated 1-2-3 sample while the phase change is not observed in the fluorinated 1-2-3 samples. Superconducting transition temperature(T$_{c}$) increases with increasing YbF$_{3}$ content ; T$_{c}$, of the sample reaching maximum of 102K for x=0.3, and then decreases with further increasing YbF$_{3}$ content. The structural analysis and T$_{c}$ results shows that the fluorine doping stabilize the orthorhombic phase, together with the increase in T$_{c}$.}$ c/.TEX> c/.

Predistorter linearizer having small size and good efficiency is frequently used in High Power Amplifier linearizer system. In this paper, the amount of IMD signal cancellation according to amplitude and phase of predistorter in predistorter type lincarizer is investigated by new experiment method. In the combining method of predistorter type, IMD signal is combined at the amplifier input port, the magnitude and phase of combining signals cannot be easily expected due to different magnitude and phase of incoming signals. By experiment, it is measured that Predistorter linearizer has lower amount of lMD signal cancellation than thoce of Feedforward linearizer at the same condition (amplitude and phase).

In this Paper, we consider multiple input multiple output Feher-patented quadrature phase shift keying (MIMO-FQPSK) system supporting high spectral efficiency and throughput. Based on the fact that the complex baseband signal sampled at every bit duration has only eight phase values and its signal can be considered as 8-phase-shift keying signal, FQPSK demodulation with maximum likelihood sequence estimation(MLSE) is considered and it is extended to MIMO system. The performance of MIMO-FQPSK receiver is analyzed by computer simulation and by considering the union upper bounds for zrero forcing detection and minimum mean square error detection.

Purpose: Piccolo et al. advocated the usefulness of $^{99m}Tc$-MDP breast scan in differential diagnosis of breast mass with high accuracy. But there are little or no follow-up studies about it as we know. We studied $^{99m}Tc$-MDP uptake pattern and lesion/background ratio in patients complaining palpable breast lesions to evaluate the clinical usefulness of $^{99m}Tc$-MDP scan. Materials and Methods: Total 34 patients were studied with physical examination, mammo-gram and $^{99m}Tc$-MDP scan prospectively. Anteroposterior and both lateral view of breast were obtained 5 minutes after iv injection of 740 MBq $^{99m}Tc$-MDP. Breast uptake pattern of $^{99m}Tc$-MDP was analyzed by a grade system: 0=no uptake, grade 1=bilateral diffuse uptake, grade 2=asymmetric faint uptake, grade 3=focal hot uptake. 20 cases were pathologically confirmed by excision biopsy or aspiration biopsy. 14 cases were normal in physical examination and mammogram. Results: Pathologic results showed 7 carcinomas, 6 benign solid tumors, and 7 fibrocystic changes. Grade 3 pattern of $^{99m}Tc$-MDP uptake was noted in 4/7 carcinomas, 3/6 benign solid tumors, and 1/7 fibrocystic changes. Grade 2 pattern was 217, 0/7, 3/7 respectively. The average L/B ratio was 1.66 in carcinomas, 1.68 in benign solid masses, 1.20 in fibrocystic diseases, 1.05 in normal patients. L/B ratio was higher in carcinoma and benign mass groups than in fibrocystic change and normal control groups(p=0.005). But there was no statistical difference between L/B ratio of malignant mass group and benign mass group. Conclusion: $^{99m}Tc$-MDP scan is not suitable to routine clinical use for breast mass diagnosis. It might be used in limited conditions when whole body bone scan is planned.

High-temperature superconductor of Bi-2212 system was fabricated by CFP(centrifugal forming process). To make a uniform specimen slurry was prepared in the ratio of 7:3(powder:binder) and ball milled for 24 hours. Milled slurry was charged into a rotating mold with 450 rpm and dried at room temperature. Then the specimen was performed binder burn-out at 35$0^{\circ}C$ and heated for partial melting to 86$0^{\circ}C$. XRD analysis of most specimens were shown 2212 phase and observed a local plate shaped microstructure with a well aligned c-axis direction from SEM images. T$_{c}$(Critical temperature) of Bi-2212 was 64K.K.

In this paper, we investigated the quench characteristics of high-Tc superconducting(HTSC) elements in the integrated three-phase flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) according to fault types such as the single-line-to-ground fault, the double-line-to-ground fault, the line-to-line fault and the triple-line-to-ground fault. The integrated three-phase flux-lock type SFCL is an upgrade version of single-phase flux-lock type SFCL. The structure of the integrated three-phase flux-lock type SFCL consisted of a three-phase flux-lock reactor wound on an iron core with the ratio of the same turn between coil 1 and coil 2 in each phase. When the SFCL is under the normal condition, the flux generated in the iron core is zero because the flux generated between two coils of each single phase is canceled out. Therefore, the SFCL's impedance is zero, and the SFCL has negligible influence on the power system. However, if a fault occurs in any single one of three phases, the flux generated in the iron core is not zero any more. The flux makes HTSC elements of all phases to quench irrespective of the fault type, which reduces the current in fault phase as well as the current of sound phase. It was obtained that the fault current limiting characteristics of the suggested SFCL were dependent on the quench characteristics of HTSC elements in all three phases.

In this paper, a VCDRO (Voltage Control Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) with low phase noise for X-band application has been designed and fabricated. A low noise and low flicker noise MESFET and a high Q dielectric resonator were selected to obtain good phase noise Performance. Also, a varactor diode having high Q, qualify factor was used to reduce the loading effects and a big Gamma of diode was chosen for linearity of frequency over voltage tuning range.

When the high power transistor is used for amplifier in microwave frequency, the bias of transistor is usually AB-class or B-c1ass because of power efficiency. The sweet spot point having small IMD signal compared with near neighborhood exicts frequently in the high power transistor using AB class bias or B-class bias. On the sweet spot, the magnitude and phase of the main and IMD signal of HPA output change as the input signal power change, respective the relative phase on the sweet spot changes rapidly. If we know exactly the magnitude and phase characteristics of IMD signal, we can design a more adequate linearizer and understand the characteristics of transistor. In this paper the magnitude and phase of the main and IMD signal of HPA output on the sweet spot are measured using the designed hardware.
