A planar waveguide model is presented for calculating dispersion characteristics of the normalized phase velocity and characteristic impedance with the frequency dependent effective dielectric constand and effective width in microstrip lines of the hybrid mode. Eeff(f) and Weff(f) are applied to a planar waveguide model by using an empirical relations and formula designed for CAD purposes as a function of frequency. A wide range of relative dielectric constants and the strip $h_{width}$strate height(W/h ratios), $0.5$\leq$W/h\leq2.5$ are used. These results are compared with static value, spectral domain analysis, and empirical results. As the result of a computer simulation, in the case of using a planar waveguide model, the frequency dependent normalized phase velocity is more closely approached to 1/ and characteristic impedance is more increased than the other method that has already been presented as the increasing of the frequency. And, the case of applying Eeff(f) designed for the purpose of CAD to this proposed model is show in better result than the case of using a empirical relations.

The forward planar transformer, which had power capacity of 300 W, input voltage of 220 V, output voltage of 15 V, and switching frequency of 300 KHz, was designed and manufactured by using the planar core with large effective area and the flat copper leadframes for miniaturization and high efficiency of the switching mode power supply (SMPS). As well as, a forward converter equipped with the above mentioned planar transformer was manufactured and electromagnetic characteristics were investigated. The numerical value of turns for 1st and 2nd winding were 15 and 2 respectively The self inductance of 1st winding was 1.592 mH, very low leakage inductance of 2.7 $\mu$H, and the coupling factor of 0.928 were obtained at switching frequency of 300 KHz. The high efficiency of 88.62 % for the SMPS equipped with planar transformer was obtained at power capacity of 300 W.

This paper present a new disk-type piezoelectric transformer. The input side of the transformer has a crescent-shaped electrode and the output side has a focused poling direction. The piezoelectric transformers operated in each transformer's resonance vibration mode. The electrodes and poling directions on commercially available piezoelectric ceramic disks were designed so that the planar or shear mode coupling factor $(k_p,\;k_{15})$ becomes effective rather than the transverse meed coupling factor $(k_{31})$. A single layer prototype transformer, 26[m] in diameter and 2.0[mm] thickness, was fabricated, such as step-up ratio, power transformation efficiency and temperature were measured.

Wind tunnel model studies were carried out to determine the wind load distribution on tributary areas near the gable-end of large, low-rise buildings with high pitch planar and curved roof shapes. Background pressure fluctuations on each tributary area are described by a series of uncorrelated modes given by the eigenvectors of the force covariance matrix. Analysis of eigenvalues shows that the dominant first mode contributes around 40% to the fluctuating pressures, and the eigenvector mode-shape generally follows the mean pressure distribution. The first mode contributes significantly to the fluctuating load effect, when its influence line is similar to the mode-shape. For such cases, the effective static pressure distribution closely follows the mean pressure distribution on the tributary area, and the quasi-static method would provide a good estimate of peak load effects.

In this paper, we have illuminated the radiation modes of rectangular planar antennas to interpret the nature of the wideband characteristic upon which formulas for bandwidth prediction are presented. Rectangular planar antennas are being investigated by many researchers in virtue of relatively simple design and fabrication procedures to replace the cylindrical monopoles. But the design principle for rectangular planar antennas is still based on that of cylindrical monopoles, and the nature of the wideband characteristic and the formula to estimate the upper band frequency are not analyzed yet. In this research, we have shown the patterns of the radiation modes explaining the wideband characteristic and also proposed the upper band frequency with minor modification for the lower band frequency formula based on mode formation principles. Finally we have confirmed the validity of our results, within 10 % accuracy, by the application to some published results.

We propose a novel planar optical interconnection scheme for 100 Gb/s optical packet address detection, which consists of waveguide grating couplers and a diffractive microlens integrated on a glass substrate 3-dimensionally. Length and duty cycle of the grating couplers have been determined on the bases of the ray-optic propagation-mode analysis in a slab waveguide and of the rigorous coupled-wave diffraction analysis for out-coupled radiation-modes. The 3-dimensionally integrated planar optics makes it possible to connect each address bit-signals of $TE_ 0-waveguide$ mode to the detector with a power uniformity of 6.4 % and a total coupling efficiency of 72.3 %.

We report theoretical and experimental results for the wavelength and polarization selectivity of a fiber-to-planar waveguide coupler made of a side polished single mode fiber covered with a planer waveguide incorporating a thin metal film. A simple but exact approach to obtain the modal properties of multilayer planar waveguide with a thin metal film is described. The device was modeled into equivalent 1 dimensional structure and its behaviour was analyzed based on coupled mode theory. The effects of metal film thickness and refractive index of superstrate on the device properties were measured and explained.

This paper presents the reversible electrolysis characteristics of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) using a $10{\times}10cm^2$ anode supported planar cell with an active area of $81cm^2$. In this work, current-voltage characteristic test and reversible electrolysis cycle test were carried out sequentially for 2,114 hours at a furnace temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. The current-voltage characteristics for reversible electrolysis mode was measured at a current of ${\pm}26.7A$ under various $H_2O$ utilization conditions. The reversible electrolysis cycle was performed 50 times at a current of ${\pm}32.4A$. As a result, The performance degradation of SOEC mode was larger than that of SOFC mode.

In this paper, we analyze a planar electromagnetic absorber by using the mode matching technique(MMT). The proposed electromagnetic absorber has a periodic structure composed of a perfect conductor and ferrite, and the transmitted and reflected powers in response to the incident wave with parallel polarization are calculated according to the thickness of the plate. The proposed absorber shows a high absorption compared to the cases of periodic slits with vacuum or the ferrite plate itself. The solution to the reflected and transmitted powers by MMT is also verified with the results from a commercial simulator.
