This paper presents the design simulation, implementation, and measurement of a miniaturized DCS, PCS / Satellite DMB dual-band stacked chip antenna with double coupled line for mobile communication terminals. A stacked meander is realized by using a via hole with height of 0.8 mm and a diameter of 0.35 mm to connect upper- and lower-layer meander sections for a reduction of the dimensions of the antenna. In addition the stacked meander chip antenna is extended by a double coupled-line to achieve two different radiation modes. A ratio of the first frequency and second frequency vary with the geometrical parameter of coupled lines. The fabricated antenna used FR-4 substrate with relative permittivity of 4.2. And its dimensions are $15.2{\times}7{\times}0.8mm^3$. The measured impedance bandwidth(VSRW<2) are 244 and 120 MHz at the operating frequency, respectively.

The tremendous flood damage caused by Typhoon Rusa(2002) was occurred at GangNeung City in GangWon Province. Almost of the city region was inundated and most of the stream channel facilities were damaged by flash flood with heavy rainfalls. We have investigated seriously damaged parts of stream bank and tried to analyze the causes of damages focused on flow characteristics in curved channel. We analyzed the damage aspects of curved channel by examining geomorphological survey and hydrographical characteristics. Strong correlation was shown according to the regression analysis between length of stream and meander wave length, and meander belt and length of stream. Furthermore, enveloped curve was presented between bottom slope of channel and meander belt, and meander ratio and channel width. As a result, special consideration about stream flow characteristics are needed for engineers who design stream banks and channels.

We discuss the design, fabrication, and testing of a large-displacement electromagnetic actuator with the meander springs partially exposed to a magnetic field. We compared two prototypes: a prototype (F) of the conventional actuator with the meander springs fully exposed to a magnetic field and a prototype (P) of the proposed actuator with the meander springs partially exposed to a magnetic field. For a 5 Hz square input current varying from 10.40 mA, P showed an increase of $16.9{\pm}1.2%$ in the amplitude, which was greater than the increase in the case of F. Thus, we experimentally demonstrated the large-displacement actuation performance of the proposed actuator in a small volume and at low currents (below 40 mA). The proposed electromagnetic actuator can be used for low-power and large-displacement manipulation of optical switches and optical choppers.

이동 및 정보통신 시스템이 소형화 및 고성능화됨에 따라 System OR Package (SOP) 기술의 연구개발이 주목을 받고 있다. 저가형 SOP를 위하여 가장 많은 연구가 다층인쇄회로 기판에 수동소자 및 전송선로를 내장시키는 것이다. 본 논문에서는, 8층 KB 기판에 Meander line과 Radial/T Stub 패턴을 Advanced Design System(ADS) simulation을 이용하여 설계 및 제작하고 분석함으로써 정확한 SOP 디자인 및 설계 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 설계변수-패턴의 length, width, spacing, 각도와 공정변수-1층/3층, 기판 재질(prepreg(PP)과 resin coated copper(RCC))을 두어 제작하여 그 특성을 비교하였다. Meander Line는 PP보다 RCC에서의 인덕턴스가 크고 높은 자가 공진주파수를 가졌고, 3층보다 1층에서의 인덕턴스가 안정적이었다. Radial/T Stub는 PP보다 RCC에서의 커패시턴스가 작으나, 높은 자가 공진 주파수로 커패시턴스가 안정적이었다. Meander Line은 RCC, 병렬 전송선로 간격-400um, 병렬 전송선로 길이-500um, 1층 설계 시, 인덕턴스-1.60nH, 자가 공진주파수-9.21GHz 특성이 가장 우수하고, Radial Stub는 RCC, $60^{\circ}$, 1층 설계 시, 커패시턴스-0.62pF, 자가 공진주파수-9.06GHz의 특성이 나타났고, T Stub는 RCC, Stub 길이-600um, Stub 너비-150um, 1층 설계 시, 커패시턴스 -0.38pF, 자가 공진주파수-10GHz이상으로 우수한 특성을 나타냈다.

This study investigates the impact of riparian vegetation in the floodplain on channel stability, changes in bend curvature, and meandering channel migration. In channels with riparian vegetation, over time, meander width remains relatively constant, but selective bank erosion leads to meander development and downstream movement. During this process, bank erosion and changes in the riverbed are not significant, and the channel maintains relatively constant conditions with reduced sediment discharge and minimal variability. As the density of vegetation increases, bank erosion rates decrease. The erosion rates along the riverbanks increase with the density of vegetation on the floodplain, thus affecting the development of meanders. This factor notably contributes to enhancing riverbank stability and influencing channel changes through floodplain vegetation. Bank erosion rates and dimensionless bend curvature are greatest when there is no riparian vegetation but decrease in conditions with vegetation. Furthermore, the relationship between lateral migration rate and dimensionless bend curvature is similar to that of bank erosion rates. Therefore, riparian vegetation enhances channel stability, influencing bank erosion, meander curvature, and meander migration.

The various properties such as the electric current distribution, resonant frequency and radiation patterns of open-ended meander slot antenna placed on a small ground plane, are investigated to give the help in performing antenna design. Based upon these characteristics, the designed antenna which is only 22mm($0.06{\lambda}_g$) in height and 31mm($0.09{\lambda}_g$) in width can operate at the 433 MHz with the measured radiation efficiency of 8% and end-fire radiation pattern. These properties make the antenna suitable for the handheld device such as the wireless remote controller.

We investigated resistance development in Au/YBCO thin film meander lines during quench. The meander lines were fabricated by coating YBCO films insitu with a gold layer and patterning them by photolithography. The center stripe quenched fastest even though the flux flow resistance that appeared upon the current passing the critical current was uniform. Quench started at an area of the center stripe and propagate both through the gold layer and the sapphire substrate. Quench propagation speed was uniform and 60 cm/s at 30 V$_{rms}$.

The radiation properties and fabrication precautions of a 3D printed, electrically small folded spherical meander wire monopole antenna are investigated. The antenna is self-resonant and shows sufficiently high radiation efficiency at an electrical size ka of 0.4, with the radiation quality factor Q approaching the lower physical bound. In antenna fabrication, the possible structural deformation due to gravity is examined before the antenna frame is 3D-printed. The required conductivity is achieved by multiple manual paintings of a silver paste. The radiation efficiency and pattern show very good agreement with the computed expectations, whereas the resonant frequency deviates by 11.8%. The method to minimize such a fabrication error when using 3D printing technology for wire antennas is discussed.

최근 전자기술이 발달함에 따라, 전자기기의 집적도가 높아지고 있으며, 그에 따라 전자기적 간섭(Electromagnetic Interference)이 큰 문제로 대두되고 있다. 특히, 집적도가 높은 스마트 기기(Smart Device)의 AP(Applicaton Processor)의 경우, 여러 기능을 수행하는 부품이 집적된 SOC(System On Chip)이기 때문에, 전자기적 간섭에 더 민감할 수 있다. 더불어 LTE(Long Term Evolution)을 무선통신으로 이용하는 다양한 주파수대에서 전자기적 간섭은 어플리케이션 및 전자기기의 오작동을 초래할 수 있다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 칩패캐지 레벨의 Meander 구조의 기존 필터(Filter)가 가진 문제점을 해결한 구조를 설계하여 3차원 상의 전자장 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 또한, 칩의 내성(Immunity)이 취약한 여러 주파수 범위를 차단할 수 있는 이 중 대역차단 필터(Dual Band Stop Filter)를 Meader Line구조를 단순하게 만들어 설계하고 그에 따른 결과를 분석하였다.

We investigated the size effect on quench development in $Au/YBa_2Cu_3O_7$ (YBCO) thin film meander lines on sapphire substrates. The meander lines were fabricated by patterning YBCO films coated with gold layers. The lines were subjected to simulated AC fault current, and immersed in liquid nitrogen during the experiment. After the initial rapid rise, the resistance increased moderately and then slowly. In 4 inch-diameter meander lines, the period during which the resistance increased moderately was considerably longer than in 2 inch-diameter line. Moderate increase of resistance was originated from quench propagation. The film temperature was about 180 K at the point when the propagation was completed. The rate of resistance increase after the quench completion was not affected by the film size.
