To develop wide-band noise absorbers with a special design for low-frequency performance, this study proposes a tin oxide (Sn-O) thin films as the noise absorbing materials in a microstrip line. Sn-O thin films were deposited on polyimide film substrates by reactive sputtering of the Sn target under flowing $O_{2}$ gas, exhibiting a wide variation of surface resistance (in the range of $10^{0}-10^{5}{\Omega}$) depending on the oxygen partial pressure during deposition. The microstrip line with characteristic impedance of $50\Omega$ was used for the measurement of noise absorption by the Sn-O films. The reflection parameter $(S_{11})$ increased with a decrease of surface resistance due to an impedance mismatch at the boundary between the film and the microstrip line. Meanwhile, the transmission parameter $(S_{21})$ diminished with a decrease of surface resistance resulting from an Ohmic loss of the Sn-O films. The maximum noise absorption predicted at an optimum surface resistance of the Sn-O films was about $150{\Omega}$. For this film, greater power absorption is predicted in the lower frequency region (about 70% at 1 GHz) than in conventional magnetic sheets of high magnetic loss, indicating that Ohmic loss is the predominant loss parameter for the conduction noise absorption in the low frequency band.

This paper investigates the damage identification of the concrete pile element through axial wave propagation technique using computational and experimental studies. Now-a-days, concrete pile foundations are often common in all engineering structures and their safety is significant for preventing the failure. Damage detection and estimation in a sub-structure is challenging as the visual picture of the sub-structure and its condition is not well known and the state of the structure or foundation can be inferred only through its static and dynamic response. The concept of wave propagation involves dynamic impedance and whenever a wave encounters a changing impedance (due to loss of stiffness), a reflecting wave is generated with the total strain energy forked as reflected as well as refracted portions. Among many frequency domain methods, the Spectral Finite Element method (SFEM) has been found suitable for analysis of wave propagation in real engineering structures as the formulation is based on dynamic equilibrium under harmonic steady state excitation. The feasibility of the axial wave propagation technique is studied through numerical simulations using Elementary rod theory and higher order Love rod theory under SFEM and ABAQUS dynamic explicit analysis with experimental validation exercise. Towards simulating the damage scenario in a pile element, dis-continuity (impedance mismatch) is induced by varying its cross-sectional area along its length. Both experimental and computational investigations are performed under pulse-echo and pitch-catch configuration methods. Analytical and experimental results are in good agreement.

Recently, piezoelectric devices, such as ultrasonic surgery, ultrasonic atomizer, and ultrasonic speaker, are analyzed and designed by finite element simulation methods. However, the discrepancy between the design and the experiment results of the device typically occurs due to the inaccuracy of the piezoelectric material properties. To improve the simulation accuracy, the material properties of the PZT ceramics were better refined using parameter estimation method. The material parameters are elastic stiffness c^E_ij and piezoelectric constant e_ij of PZT ceramics. The impedance curve characteristics for the LTE mode of PZT ceramics were calculated. The mismatch between the simulation and the experimental data were compared and minimized by a least square method. Finally, the simulated impedance data were compared with the experimental data for the various vibration modes of PZT ceramics and the optimized material properties of PZT ceramics were verified. To further verify the accuracy, this method was also applied to piezoelectric PMN-PT single crystals.

In this paper, we present an implemented serial 40-Gb/s receiver optical subassembly (ROSA) module by employing a proposed TO-CAN package and flexible printed circuit board (FPCB). The TO-CAN package employs an L-shaped metal support to provide a straight line signal path between the TO-CAN package and the FPCB. In addition, the FPCB incorporates a signal line with an open stub to alleviate signal distortion owing to an impedance mismatch generated from the soldering pad attached to the main circuit board. The receiver sensitivity of the ROSA module measures below -9 dBm for 40 Gb/s at an extinction ratio of 7 dB and a bit error rate of $10^{-12}$.

In this paper, transmitter and receiver modules for free space optical interconnection are implemented and characterized. In the transmitter module, bias circuitry which inject current into the direct modulated laser diode is fabricated and in the receiver module, p-i-n diode is integrated with an MMIC amplifying stage. Laser diode has a direct-modulated bandwidth of 2 GHz at 1.4 Ith bias while p-i-n diode and amplifying stage has a bandwidth of 1.3 GHz and 1.5 GHz, repectively. Optical interconnection has a bandwidth of 1.3 GHz and linearly transmit modulated voltage signal up to 1.5 Vp-p. Measured loss of optical interconnection is 5dB which is composed of optoelectronic conversion loss of 15 dB, electrical impedance mismatch loss of 6.7 dB in transmitter module and gain of 18 dB in receiver module. Seperation between transmitter and receiver can be extended up to 50 cm by using a lens.

본 논문에서는 마이크로파 feedline을 포함하고, 광도파관과 마이크로파 feedline간의 임피던스 부정합을 고려하여 전계 흡수광변조기(traveling-wave electro-absorption modulator, TW-EAM)의 마이크로파 특성을 분석하였다. Co-planar waveguide(CPW)와 microstrip의 하이브리드 구조를 가지는 광도파관 부분은 등가회로를 통해 모델링 하였으며, 등가회로의 인덕턴스(L)와 커패시턴스 (C)는 3차원 FDTD를 기반으로 한 수식화를 통하여 구하였다. CPW 구조의 마이크로파 feedline은 모멘텀방식을 이용해 분석하였다. 이와 같은 분석을 통해 TW-EAM의 특성을 보다 정확하게 분석 할 수 있음을 제시한다.

This paper describes the development of a broadband quasi-Yagi antenna using a folded dipole driver. The antenna is designed on a low-permittivity substrate to reduce the surface wave effect, and hence the gain can be enhanced easily by adding directors. The folded dipole driver is connected to a 50-${\Omega}$ microstripline via a simple broadband microstrip-to-coplanar stripline transition with a quarter radial stub. The key motivation for the use of a folded dipole is to increase the input impedance at the driver, allowing a smaller mismatch loss between the antenna driver and the coplanar stripline feed. The proposed antenna has a measured bandwidth of 4.67~6.26 GHz for the -10 dB reflection coefficient, and a flat gain of 4.86~5.15 dB within the bandwidth.

We propose an inductive compensation method for a surface-mountable 10 Gbps photoreceiver module. Since many typical 10 Gbps photoreceiver modules consist of a photodetector and low-noise pre-amplifier, the impedance mismatch between the photodetector and pre-amplifier, as well as package parasitics, may reduce the frequency bandwidth. In this paper, we inserted an inductive component between the photodetector and pre-amplifier in order to create frequency bandwidth expansion. From the measurement results, we have found that the proposed technique can increase the -3 dB bandwidth about 4.2 GHz wider compared with an uncompensated module. And, from a bit-error rate (BER) test, we observed -15.7 dB sensitivity at $10^{-12}$ BER. This inductive compensation can be implemented easily and is compatible with common manufacturing processes of photoreceiver modules.

일반적으로 반사파 및 공진이 위상 왜곡에 영향을 준다고 많이 알려져 있지만, 그 두 가지 이유 이외에 안테나 임피던스 변화에 따라서도 위상 지연을 왜곡시킬 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서는 상호 결합 영향을 모두 고려한 안테나 임피던스 $Z_A$에 따른 위상 지연 오차를 분석하고, 이에 따른 빔조향 특성을 확인하였다. 안테나 임피던스에 대한 반사손실의 최대값($RL_{max}$)이 -10 dB와 -7 dB일 때 모든 주파수에서 각각 $0.051{\lambda}$에 해당하는 $18.5^{\circ}$와 $0.074{\lambda}$에 해당하는 $26.5^{\circ}$의 최대 위상 지연 오차가 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 8개의 선형 배열 안테나를 통해 몬테 카를로 시뮬레이션을 진행한 결과, $18.5^{\circ}$와 $26.5^{\circ}$의 균등 분포 위상 오차를 갖는 상황에서 각각 $0{\sim}30^{\circ}$의 빔조향을 했을 때 목표 빔조향각과 해당 위상 오차에 의해 틀어져서 관측되는 조향각 사이의 RMS 오차는 $0.19{\sim}0.4^{\circ}$이고, 표준편차는 $0.14{\sim}0.33^{\circ}$이다. 이때 사이드 로브 레벨은 -12.8 dB의 이론치로부터 위상 오차에 의해 0.74~1.21 dB 만큼 증가하고 사이드 로브 레벨 증가량의 표준 편차는 0.31~0.51 dB를 갖는다. 이를 스파이럴 안테나 8개 배열 구조를 설계하여 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 ${\lambda}g/2$ 개방형 협대역 소형 스터브 대역통과 여파기를 새롭게 제안한다. 이 여파기를 연구하는 목적은 전송선로에서 발생하는 2차 고조파를 이용하여 여파기의 가로 측 길이를 줄이는 것이고, 또한 동시에 공진부와 전송선로에서 발생하는 기본파를 이용하여 전력을 전달하기 위하여 임피던스 부정합 기법을 이용하는 것이다. 그러므로 여파기의 가로 측 길이는 기존에 비해 1/2로 축소되었다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 설계된 여파기의 대역폭은 10 % 이고, 중심 주파수는 5.8 GHz이며, 측정 결과의 삽입손실 및 반사손실은 각각 1.58 dB, 9.86 dB의 결과 값을 얻었고 크기는 $10.34{\times}18.56\;mm2$ 이다.
