This paper concerns the design and implementation of a Bandwidth Variable Digital Chirp Generator (DCG) for the radar altimeter. A double SRAM parallel structure is used to breakthrough the upper DCG bandwidth limited by the highest clock frequency of the digital chips. An experimental system working in the waveform storage method has been implemented. We show that the bandwidth changed according to the radar altimeter's requirement and the design released the stringent speed requirement of the chips fur making a variable wide bandwidth DCG.

We intended to confirm that microwave attenuation by tree leaves is strongly linked to water content in leaves. We sampled natural broadleaves, including Japanese cinnamon, and investigated their effects on the microwave (3 to 20 GHz) frequency characteristics using a network analyzer. Experiments determined that microwave attenuation by foliage increases as a linear function of frequency per unit weight (gram). As the frequency increases, the spatial resolution increases, but the phase difference (imaginary component) increases. So we solved the dispersion of phase difference by sweeping the frequency and taking the intermediate value. Based on these experimental results, we developed a microwave scanner on 10Ghz to describe foliage moisture as a image and to enable assessments of leaf condition. Photosynthesis is the process whereby plants synthesize oxygen and sugars from carbon dioxide and water, thereby converting light energy into chemical energy. Since water is a major parameter of photosynthesis, the quantity of water accumulated inside a leaf reflects leaf health. The equipment described here and related microwave technologies will help assess the capacity of leaves to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Frequency-multiplication technology based on microwave photonic principles can be used to generate microwave and millimeter wave signals with a wide frequency tuning range. However, the existing cascaded external modulation frequency-tupling scheme needs to ensure the phase coherence of the modulated Radio Frequency (RF) signal, while the phase modulation directly limits the frequency tuning range of the external modulation frequency multiplication. In this paper, a novel approach for generating an incoherent frequency 12-tupling signal with cascade modulation is proposed. The structure of cascaded dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulators can generate a frequency 12-tupling signal. The proposed structure uses no filter or phase control of the RF driving signal. Microwave photonic frequency-tupling was realized under incoherent conditions. Software simulations and experiments validated the proposed structure and proved that it can generate frequency 12-tupling microwave signals under incoherent conditions. Both the frequency range and reliability of the frequency-tupling system has been improved by the proposed structure.

Microwave와 자외선을 동시에 조사하여 광촉매분말이 분산된 메틸렌블루수용액의 분해실험을 하였다. 광촉매반응에 microwave와 자외선을 같이 사용하기 위하여 microwave에 의해 방전되는 무전극자외선램프를 제작하였다. 실험결과 microwave의 강도, 반응수용액의 순환유속, TiO$_2$ 분말의 첨가량 그리고 산화보조제의 첨가량이 증가할수록 광촉매분해속도가 증가하였다. 특히 과산화수소를 첨가한 광촉매반응에 microwave를 부가한 실험의 반응속도상수는 0.0250 min$^{-1}$이고 광촉매반응에 과산화수소만을 첨가한 경우의 속도상수는 0.0075 min$^{-1}$로 약 3배 정도 높은 값을 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 광촉매반응에 microwave가 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하기는 어렵지만, 과산화수소가 첨가되는 광촉매반응에 microwave의 조사가 매우 중요한 인자인 것을 알 수 있었다.

최근 적외선이나 초음파, 전자기파 등을 이용해 자연의 신호를 검출해 내는 센서들이 여러 가지 응용분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 더욱이 어떤 대상물이 가지고 있는 정보를 감지하는 고성능의 단일센서뿐만 아니라 이를 시스템적으로 개발하고 응용하는 것의 필요성도 높아져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로파를 이용한 레이더 센서 시스템을 설명하였고, 그 중 CW (Continuous Wave) 도플러 레이더를 이용한 마이크로파 센서 시스템의 동작 및 응용을 살펴보았다. 또한 이러한 시스템에 사용될 수 있는 고안정 주파수원으로 유전체 공진 발진기를 설계 제작하여 상용 시스템으로의 적용 가능성을 보였다. 제작된 유전체 공진 발진기는 12.67 GHz에서 동작하고, 출력전력이 +5.33 dBm 위상잡음은 100 kHz 옵셋주파수에서 -108.5 dBc/Hz를 얻었다.

In this study, a novel Graphic User Interface (GUI) software development system is suggested so that it can be applied to diagnose breast cancer with utilizing 3~4.2 GHz microwave radiometric data. The estimated inner and surface temperature values on the patient's right and left breast in terms of microwave radiometry are visualized in HSV color mapping space and their relevant contour regions and lines are depicted by Marching Square graphic algorithm. Also the database system is implemented in terms of patient and diagnostic module to support the medical decisions concerning the breast cancer diagnosis.

In this paper, the derivation of the protection ratio for the digital microwave system with diversity is newly suggested for a basic guidance of initial planning for frequency coordination, and computational results are presented for an actual radio frequency band. The net filter discrimination has been also examined to see the effect of the adjacent channel protection ratio caused by adjacent channel interference. In addition, the protection ratios for the space or frequency diversity system are analyzed in terms of diversity improvement factors to find out an equivalent allowable noise-to-interference ratio (N/I) from degraded fade margin. According to results for 6.2 GHz system, with the space diversity of 25 m distance between antennas or the frequency diversity of ${\Delta}f/f=0.05$, under 64-QAM and 60 km at BER $10^{-6}$, the protection ratio can be greatly reduced in comparison to the non-diversity system. So, assuming that only the same protection ratio as the non-diversity system is kept, it is shown that the system with diversity may get more interference level of N/I allowing from 9.0 to - 5.9 dB or from 6.0 to - 4.3 dB for the space or frequency diversity. In consequence, it is concluded that the diversity system is more robust or tolerable for interferences or fades, which may play an important role in overcoming N/I to some extent.

Carbon nanofibers were formed on silicon substrate which was applied by negative direct current (DC) bias voltage using microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. Formation of carbon nanofibers were varied according to the variation of the applied bias voltage. At -250 V, we found that the growth direction of carbon nanofibers followed the applied direction of the bias voltage. Based on these results, we suggest one of the possible techniques to control the growth direction of the carbon nanofibers.
