Design of microwave absorbers using high frequency properties of fiber reinforced composites are investigated. Two kinds of composite materials (glass and carbon) are used and their complex permittivity and permeability are measured by transmission/reflection technique using network analyzer. Low dielectric constant and nearly zero dielectric loss are determined in glass fiber composite. However, carbon fiber composites show the high dielectric constant and large conduction loss which is increased with anisotropy of fiber arrangement. It is, therefore, proposed that the glass and carbon fiber composites can be used as the impedance transformer (surface layer) and microwave reflector, respectively. By inserting the foam core or honeycomb core (which can be treated as an air layer) between glass and carbon fiber composites, microwave absorption above 10 dB (90% absorbance) in 4-12 GHz can be obtained. The proposed fiber composites laminates with sandwitch structure have high potential as lightweight and high strength microwave absorbers.

We designed a transflective-type LCD using a twisted VA mode. Generally, a VA mode had a blue shift due to intrinsic properties. We solved this problem using spectroscopic compensation film. We used the front scattering film and negative C-plate to improve characteristics of the viewing angle and contrast ratio. As a result, we found that proposed the transflective-type TVA mode had a contrast ratio of about 80:1, a response time of 22 ms, and a reflectance of 25% in comparison with the standard MgO reflector.

A switchable Yagi-Uda antenna prototype with radiation pattern reconfiguration is presented in this letter. The proposed reconfigurable antenna is based on the concept of switching between the reflector and director of a Yagi-Uda antenna using a radio frequency PIN diode. As a result, the minimum/maximum radiation can be steered towards desired signals or away from interfering signals in opposite directions. The measured 10 dB impedance bandwidth and gain are 210 MHz (7%) and 8.02 dBi at 3 GHz, respectively. Details of the antenna design and its performance are described and empirically analyzed.

In this paper, a precise sensitivity measurement system of ultrasonic transducer in the frequency range from 1 MHz to 15 MHz, which can implement the reciprocity principle is constructed. All of the elements of this system such as the ultrasonic preamplifier, ultrasonic absorber, water tank, water degassing system, and four-axes translator and reflector are constructed. For the performance evaluation of the calibration system, a standard hydrophone precisely calibrated from PTB(Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt) in Germany are used. And the system parameters which affected the evaluation of the measurement accuracy and the reproducibility in various measuring conditions are considered. The measurement uncertainty of the calibration system is estimated within $\pm$ 2.0㏈.

A low concentrating (< 5X) photovoltaic module with aluminum reflectors is fabricated and evaluated which is designed to reduce the affection of the high temperature to the solar cell modules preventing the efficiency lowering. As results, the output power is increased of 1.97X from the concentrating photovoltaic module which is designed with the concentrating ratio of 2.25X and to control the module temperature cooling the module by air circulation. Also, the effect of the concentrating module with aluminum reflectors on the conventional PV module is investigated at the field. The result shows the increase of the output power more than about 20% and the improvement of the module efficiency of 1.4X in spite of the increase of average module temperature.

This paper proposes a simple method to improve a sensitivity of a straightness measurement system for a linear stage, which is applied to a system based on a geometric optic method. An optical system for this method is composed of a corner-cube retro-reflector, a ball-lens and a twodimensional position sensitive detector (2D PSD). The effectiveness of the proposed method was examined theoretically, and verified experimentally using a prototype measurement system. The results show that the measuring sensitivity was dependent on the size of the ball-lens and the setup position of PSD from the ball-lens, and that the proposed method is efficient method to improve the measuring sensitivity.

기구 배광이 전체적인 조명환경에 미치는 영향은 크며, 기구배광은 반사판, 프리즘 설계 등으로 구현된다. 또, 램프의 물리적 크기는 기구설계에서 무시할 수 없으며, 기구 설계자는 램프로 흡수되는 빛을 최소한으로 하여 기구를 설계하여야 한다. 기존의 반사판 설계 알고리즘의 경우 램프의 물리적인 크기를 고려하지 않았으며, 기구배광의 출력값도 몇몇의 경우에서는 오차를 발생하였다. 이에 본 논문에서는 램프의 키기를 고려한 반사판설계 알고리즘을 개발, 구현하여 이전의 기구설계 알고리즘이 가지고 있던 오차를 줄였으며 좋은 성과를 얻었다.

본 논문에서는 개정된 KS 기준을 만족하면서 새로이 인도 조명기구용 pole을 설치할 필요 없이 기존의 가로등 pole에 바로 적용할 수 있는 높이가 낮은 인도용 조명기구용 반사판의 설계를 실행하고 광학 성능 예측 프로그램을 사용하여 그 성능을 확인하였다. 또한 설계는 신광원에 관심이 집중되고 있는 현재 추세에 맞추어 콤팩트 메탈할라이드 램프를 적용하여 실행하고 조명기구 반사판의 소형화 및 고성능화를 이끌어 낼 수 있도록 하였다.

This paper introduces a preliminary work for the design of a mini-dish cluster system for power generation. Each mini-dish [typically has a 20 to 30 cm in diameter] is designed with a simple parabolic profile concentrating sun light [after the glass glazing cover to avoid dust deposition on the reflector and facilitate cleaning] onto a centrally located small plane[or concave] mirror which is placed on the bottom side of a transparent glass cover. The mirror with a mini-dish concentrator is designed to focus beam radiation onto a focal point before it enters a bundle of optical fibers connected to a remote receiver for power generation. Different options are considered in designing a mini-dish concentrator to maximize its effectiveness for the collection and use of solar energy.
