Droplet in miniaturized microfluidic systems have received much focused attention recently. In this work, electrical charging phenomenon of a conducting water droplet on the electrode under the dc electric field is studied and using this phenomenon droplet actuation method for microreactor applications is experimentally demonstrated. To find effects of key factors, the effects of electric field, medium viscosity, and droplet size are investigated. A scaling law of charging for the conducting droplet is derived from the experimental results. Unlike the case of a perfect conductor, the estimated amount of electrical charge ($Q_{est}$) of a water droplet is proportional to the 1.59 power of the droplet radius (R) and the 1.33 power of the electric field strength (E). (For a spherical perfect conductor, Q is proportional to R2 and E.) It is thought that the differences are mainly due to incomplete charging of a water droplet resulted from the combined effect of electrochemical reaction at electrode and the relatively low conductivity of water. Using this phenomenon, we demonstrate the transport of the charged droplet and fusion of two oppositely-charged droplets. When electric field is subjected sequentially on the electrode, the charged droplet is transported on the electrode. For the visualization of fusion of charged droplets, the precipitation reaction is used. When subjected to a DC voltage, two droplets charged are moving and merging toward each other due to the Coulombic force and chemical reaction is simultaneously occurred by coalescence of droplets. It may be due to the interchange effect of charge. It is shown that the droplet can be used for microreactor where transporting, merging etc. of reagents constitute unit operation.

13.56 MHz 무선 에너지 전송 시스템의 효율적인 전자파 장해(EMI) 측정 및 분석 방법을 제안한다. 두 루프 안테나가 자유 공간과 PEC면 위에 있는 두 가지 경우에 대하여 영상법과 쌍대성을 이용하여 자계 결합 시스템의 등가회로 모델링 분석을 통하여 각 루프에 흐르는 전류 및 발생하는 전자장을 수식적으로 표현한다. 여기서 완전 도체(Perfect Electric Conductor: PEC)는 완전 도체의 무한한 평면의 형태를 가지며, 이후에는 PEC면이라고 지칭한다. 원점에서 부터 관측 지점까지의 거리보다 충분히 가까운 지점에서의 최대 전자장의 크기를 이용하여 원점에서 충분히 떨어진 지점의 최대 전자장의 크기를 이론적으로 유추할 수 있다. 근거리에서의 자기장의 크기로 이론적으로 유추한 10 m 떨어진 위치에서의 최대 전자장의 크기와 상용 수치 해석 툴을 이용하여 구한 10 m 떨어진 위치의 최대 전자장의 크기를 비교, 분석하였다. 또한, 이론적으로 구한 최대 자기장의 크기를 바탕으로 방사성 장해 허용 기준을 만족하는 최대 허용 전력의 크기도 쉽게 구할 수 있다.

국내의 전기수요량은 매년 증가하고 있다. 발전소에서 전력을 생산하고 공급하기위하여 채택된 모든 장비들은 신뢰할 수 있는 상태에서 완전하게 동작하여야 한다. 생산된 고전압의 전기를 공급하기 위한 장비로서 6 kV CV 단심케이블이 사용되고 있다. 케이블 제작사는 케이블의 동작 수명이 약 30년 이라고 공개적으로 알리고 있다. 그러나 설치된 케이블이 동작을 시작함과 동시에, 성능이 악화되는 열화과정이 시작된다. 동작 중인 케이블의 열화 상태로 인한 신뢰성을 진단을 받지 않았기 때문에, 케이블은 예측하지 못하는 시점에서 언제든지 파괴될 수 있다. 우리는 케이블의 사고를 체계적으로 감시 및 예방하기 위한 측정 장비를 개발, 한국서부발전 주식회사(Korea Western Power Co. Ltd.)에 설치하여 활선 케이블을 진단하였다. 이 논문에서 우리는 케이블을 구성하고 있는 도체와 표면온도를 측정하였고, 타사의 데이터와 비교하여 서로가 일치한다는 연구결과를 제시한다.

We have analyzed shielding characteristics of the spherical multilayered dielectric, with the assumption that the inner part of the model is filled with the perfect conductor whose radius is varied from 0.2.lambda. to 1.0.lambda. and the outer part of the conducting sphere is covered by a lossy multilayered dielectric. Variation of shielding effects have been examined as the function of parameter of the dielectric layer and the radius of the conducting sphere.

In this paper, new algorithm which calculates transmission coefficient of electromagnetic wave by numerical analysis of scattered field by conductors with arbitrary cross-sections in parallel-plate waveguide is proposed. Proposed algorithm assumes magnetic current distribution on the boundary of scattering conductors, and applies Image theorem to perfect conductor surfaces of parallel-plate waveguide. Integral equations for fictitious magnetic currents on conducting boundary are set up. Magnetic current distributions on conducting boundary are expanded as exponential basis function, and using Galerkin method matrix equations are set wp. To compute matrix elements this method utilizes Fourier transform which is faster than numerical integration. Finally, frequency and incidence-angle characteristic of transmission coefficient are calculated and compared with experimental results.

In Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for buried object detection, it is important to identify a buried target because removal of an unwanted target requires as much time and effort as does a wanted target. For a simulation of the target identification, the FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) and PML (Perfectly Matched Layer) techniques are widely used. Simulation results vary depending on the type of the buried object and the position of the source. As a result, this paper illustrates the range (time) profile of the five types of facilities including PEC (Perfect Electric Conductor) rectangular box and pipes, and shows the comparison of the range profile of the buried facilities.

In most previous investigations of plasmonic and metamaterial applications, the metallic film has been regarded as a perfect electrical conductor. Here we demonstrate the resonance characteristics of THz metamaterials fabricated from metal film that has a finite dielectric constant, using finite-difference time-domain simulations. We found strong redshift and spectral broadening of the resonance as we decrease the metal's plasma frequency in the Drude free-electron model. The frequency shift can be attributed to the effective thinning of the metal film, originating from the increase in penetration depth as the plasma frequency decreases. On the contrary, only peak broadening occurs with an increase in the scattering rate. The metal-thickness dependence confirms that the redshift and spectral broadening occur when the effective metal thickness drops below the skin-depth limit. The electromagnetic field distribution illustrates the reduced field enhancement and reduced funneling effects near the gap area in the case of low plasma frequency, which is associated with reduced charge density in the metal film.

Eigenvalue distributions for a periodic metal-insulator-metal waveguide, classified into the point spectrum and the discretized continuous spectrum (DCS), are investigated as functions of frequencies, gap widths, and periods. Muller's method is suggested for solving exact eigenvalues, and we propose the scheme for finding proper initial values in the Muller's method by considering only ${\Re}e({\varepsilon}_r)$ in the dispersion equation. We then find that anti-crossing behavior, repulsive effect between the point spectrum and the DCS, becomes stronger when the real parts of the roots in the point spectrum have smaller values. Finally, we examine the transmittances of a single subwavelength slit for real metals using the mode matching technique. The transmittances in real metals similarly follow those of the perfect electric conductor (PEC) at low frequencies, while the patterns at higher frequencies begin to differ from the PEC.

In this paper, transparent circuit analog radar absorbing structure with angular stability for stealth aircraft canopy was proposed and designed. To obtain wideband electromagnetic absorption, optical transparency and smaller thickness, we proposed the novel FSS(Frequency Selective Surface) for X-band and implemented the resistive FSS and PEC(Perfect Electric Conductor) plane using ITO(Indium Thin Oxide) coating with optical transmissivity of 90 %. Reflection loss characteristics for different incident angles of both TE(Transverse Electric) and TM(Transverse Magnetic) polarizations are presented through simulations. We then fabricated the proposed structure to verify the simulation results. The comparisons between the simulation and measured results show good agreements. The results also show that the proposed radar absorbing structure can provide better frequency stability for different incidence angles and polarizations as well as optical transparency. We can apply this proposed structure to the canopy of stealth aircraft and other stealth applications for visible transparency.
