We have proposed and demonstrated a low numerical aperture technique to measure the depth of through silicon vias (TSVs) using white-light scanning interferometry. The high aspect ratio hole like TSV's was considered to be impossible to measure using conventional optical methods due to low visibility at the bottom of the hole. We assumed that the limitation of the measurement was caused by reflection attenuation in TSVs. A novel interference theory which takes the structural reflection attenuation into consideration was proposed and simulated. As a result, we figured out that the low visibility in the interference signal was caused by the unbalanced light intensity between the object and the reference mirror. Unbalanced light can be balanced using an aperture at the illumination optics. As a result of simulation and experiment, we figured out that the interference signal can be enhanced using the proposed technique. With the proposed optics, the depth of TSVs having an aspect ratio of 11.2 was measured in 5 seconds. The proposed method is expected to be an alternative method for 3-D inspection of TSVs.

We designed the H-IPS that has similar aperture ratio to the AS-IPS with organic insulator. To improve the aperture ratio without organic insulator, we positioned the pixel electrode over the preceding gate on the base of the H-IPS structure, and minimized the width of pixel and common electrodes. Without the additional process, we could obtain the similar brightness with that of AS-IPS in 15inch SXGA+ Panel.

The impedance bandwidth and radiation characteristics of an aperture-coupled microstrip line-fed patch antenna (ACMPA) with a high permittivity (${\varepsilon}_r=10$) feed substrate suitable for integration with a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) are investigated for various feed substrate thicknesses through an experiment and computer simulation. The impedance bandwidth of an ACMPA with a high permittivity feed substrate increases as the feed substrate thickness decreases. Furthermore, the front-to-back ratio of an ACMPA with a high permittivity feed substrate increases and the cross-polarization level decreases as the feed substrate thickness decreases. As the impedance bandwidth of an ACMPA with a high permittivity feed substrate increases and its radiation characteristics improve as the feed substrate thickness decreases, the ACMPA configuration becomes suitable for integration with an MMIC.

MMIC와 집적이 가능한 큰 유전상수를 가지는 급전 기판을 사용하는 개구면 결합 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나(ACMPA)의 개구면 폭을 변화시켜 ACMPA의 대역폭을 확장하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 개구면의 폭이 증가할수록 ACMPA의 패치공진과 개구면 공진 사이의 상호 공진 영역이 증가하여 대역폭이 증가하였다. 일반적인 개구면의 길이와 폭의 비(10:1)을 가지는 ACMPA의 대역폭 20.8 %를 개구면 폭 변화를 이용하여 최대 35.3 %까지 확장하였다. 개구면 폭 증가에 의한 방사특성 저하는 매우 작았다.

합성 개구면 레이다(SAR: synthetic aperture radar)는 날씨 및 주 야간에 관계없이 고해상도의 영상을 형성할 수 있기 때문에 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고해상도 SAR 설계시 경사거리와 합성개구면의 길이가 영상형성에 미치는 영향을 RMA 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 성능분석을 수행하였다. 형성된 영상의 성능은 직접 육안으로 확인할 수 있었으나, 영상을 분석하는 수치로서도 성능평가가 가능하였다. 보다 구체적으로, 다양한 경사거리와 합성개구면의 길이 변화와 영상획득을 위한 기하구조에 따라 이상적인 점표적에 대한 시뮬레이션의 원시 데이터를 생성하였고, Spotlight 영상 형성 알고리듬을 이용하여 이에 따른 점표적 응답특성의 공간 해상도, 최대 부엽 수준, 누적 부엽 수준에 대한 성능분석을 수행하였다.

In a High Altitude Platform (HAP) cellular communications network, each cell may be served by a dedicated spot-beam antenna. The antennas' beam properties and their spatial overlap control the co-channel interference. In prior literature, radiation patterns have been approximated by a main lobe followed by a constant sidelobe floor. A network of 121 cells has been studied and the method is here extended to the use of more realistic radiation patterns based on the theoretical aperture antenna patterns. This allows for the comparison of the effect of different aperture field tapers, which lead to reduced sidelobe levels and hence higher system capacity but also a more massive antenna payload.

A single-photon laser and mid-wave infrared (MWIR) common aperture optical system was designed and developed to detect and range a long-distance civil aviation aircraft. The secondary mirror of the Ritchey-Chretien (R-C) optical system was chosen as a dichroic lens to realize the design of a common aperture system for the laser and MWIR. Point spread function (PSF) ellipticity was introduced to evaluate the coupling efficiency of the laser receiving system. A small aperture stop and narrow filter were set in the secondary image plane and an afocal light path of the laser system, respectively, and the stray light suppression ability of the small aperture stop was verified by modeling and simulation. With high-precision manufacturing technology by single point diamond turning (SPDT) and a high-efficiency dichroic coating, the laser/MWIR common aperture optical system with a 𝜑300 mm aluminum alloy mirror obtained images of buildings at a distance of 5 km with great quality. A civil aviation aircraft detection experiment was conducted. The results show that the common aperture system could detect and track long-distance civil aviation aircraft effectively, and the coverage was more than 450 km (signal-to-noise ratio = 6.3). It satisfied the application requirements for earlier warning and ranging of long-range targets in the area of aviation, aerospace and ground detection systems.

Although a single-element synthetic aperture system can produce high-resolution beam profile, it is not a highly practical system because of its low signal to noise ratio against conventional system's. A multi-element synthetic aperture processing has been proposed with defocusing in this paper. A multi element subaperture defocused to emulate a single element spatial response with high acoustic power. The results have higher signal to noise and better contrast resolution than conventional synthetic aperture method.

부호화 구경 카메라는 바늘구멍 카메라의 고분해능 특성을 유지하면서 신호대잡음비를 향상시키기 위해 개발되었다. 이 연구의 목적은 몬테칼로 모사방법을 이용하여 부호화 구경 카메라의 최적화 및 성능 분석을 통해 갑상선 영상의 가능성을 평가하는 것이다. GATE 코드를 이용하여 부호화 구경의 두께에 따른 부호화 구경 카메라의 Tc-99 m 선원에 대한 공간분해능, 신호대잡음비, 균일도를 평가하였다. 그리고 부호화 구경 카메라와 바늘구멍 카메라의 영상 획득 성능을 비교하였다. 연구 결과 부호화 구경 마스크 두께에 따른 분해능 차이는 거의 없었으나, 신호대잡음비는 구경 두께가 두꺼워질수록 향상되어 최고값을 보인 뒤 다시 감소하는 추세를 보였다. 이는 두께에 따른 마스크의 투과율과 관계가 있었다. 균일도는 구경 두께가 두꺼워질수록 성능이 향상하였다. 부호화 구경 카메라의 공간분해능은 바늘구멍 카메라와 거의 비슷하였으나, 신호대잡음비는 약 30배 정도 향상되는 것을 확인하였고, 이는 부호화 구경 카메라로 고분해능, 고 신호대잡음비의 갑상선 영상 획득이 가능함을 보여준다.

2.22-inch qVGA $(240{\times}320)$ amorphous silicon thin film transistor liquid active matrix crystal display (a-Si TFT-AMLCD) panel has been successfully demonstrated employing a 2.5 um fine-patterning technology by a wet etch process. Higher resolution 2.22-inch qVGA LCD panel with an aperture ratio of 58% can be fabricated as the 2.5 um fine pattern formation technique is integrated with high thermal photo-resist (PR) development. In addition, a novel concept of unique a-Si TFT process architecture, which is advantageous in terms of reliability, was proposed in the fabrication of 2.22-inch qVGA LCD panel. Overall results show that the 2.5 um fine-patterning is a considerably significant technology to obtain higher aperture ratio for higher resolution a-Si TFT-LCD panel realization.
