Distributed Bragg reflector porous silicon of different characteristics were formed to determine their optical constants in the visible wavelength range using a periodic square wave current between low and high current densities. The surface and cross-sectional SEM images of distributed Bragg reflector porous silicon were obtained using a cold field emission scanning electron microscope. The surface image of distributed Bragg reflector porous silicon indicates that the distributions of pores are even. The cross-sectional image illustrates that the multilayer of distributed Bragg reflector porous silicon exhibits a depth of few microns and applying of square current density during the etching process results two distinct refractive indices in the contrast. Distributed Bragg reflector porous silicon exhibited a porosity depth profile that related directly to the current-time profile used in etch. Its free-standing film was obtained by applying an electro-polishing current.

Stainless Steel의 유연한 기판을 사용하여 ZnO:Al/Ag의 후면전극에서 Ag 증착 실험조건 변화를 통해서 light trapping을 개선한 n-i-p 구조의 플렉서블 미세결정질 실리콘 박막 태양전지를 제작하였다. 실험 방법으로 마그네트론 스퍼터를 사용하여 Stainless Steel 기판 위에 ZnO:Al/Ag를 증착하여 후면전극으로 사용되는 back reflector를 제작하였으며 그 위에 미세결정질 실리콘 박막을 증착하였다. Back reflector에서 Ag 박막의 증착 온도가 증가할수록 표면결정 성장으로 roughness가 증가하여 반사도를 증가하였다. 또한, Ag 박막 증착 두께와 압력 변화에 따른 광학적 특성변화를 Atomic Force Microscope(AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM),UV-visible-nIR spectrometry로 조사하여 최적의 조건을 찾았으며 개선된 back reflector의 특성이 n-i-p 구조의 플렉서블 미세결정질 실리콘 박막 태양전지에 적용하여 light trapping의 증가가 태양전지에서 광학적인 특성 변화 및 효율 향상에 영향을 주는지 Photo IV와 EQE(External Quantum Efficiency)를 통하여 조사하였다.

In this paper, satellite searching and tracking method for the satellite antenna in naval vessels system are proposed. For fast searching satellite, Wide Range Search(WRS) algorithm is proposed where the signal strength of side-lobe is utilized as well as that of main-lobe. Satellite tracking algorithm to stabilize satellite antenna is based on conical-scanning which is accomplished by the use of the sub-reflector located in front of the focus of the reflector. The sub-reflector rotates about a slightly tilted axis by means of a motor and shapes the antenna beam to utilize stabilization. To show the validity of the proposed method, an experimental example is represented.

In this paper, we studied on dual reflector adjusted to monopulse antenna system. As a result, when the efficiency of main reflector is more than 70%, The size of reflector is 30 wavelength of maximum frequency and minimum frequency gain is 37.9dBi, and Maximum frequency gain is 38.6dBi. Also, when a radius is D and Focus-distance is $F_e$, a scheme for efficiency improvement of Sub Reflector is to increase the Focus-distance to Diameter Ratio. In this case, Cross polarization in Far field improved and spherical spreading loss in circumference of reflector reduced. The influence of Radiation pattern followed by the side displacement of feed antenna(at $x_sy_s$) is decreased, it is confirmed that performance of scanning is improved.

New method to encode multiple photonic features of Bragg type reflector on silicon wafer has been investigated. Multiple bit encodes of distributed Bragg reflector features have been prepared by electrochemical etching of crystalline silicon by using various square wave current densities. Optical characterization of multi-encoding of distributed Bragg reflectors on porous silicon was achieved by Ocean optics 2000 spectrometer for the search of possible applications of multiple bit encoding of distributed Bragg reflectors such as multiplexed assays and chemical sensors. The morphology and cross-sectional structure of multi-encoded distributed Bragg reflectors was investigated by field emission scanning electron micrograph.

In this paper, the performance analysis of optics-based sensor node localization using ToF (Time of Flight) scheme is conducted. Generally, the position of the sensor node is calculated on the base station. And the base station scans neighboring sensor nodes with a laser. The laser which is reflected from one sensor node, however, can be reached to the base station at different angles according to the scanning resolution. This means that the error of the reached angle can increase and one node may be recognized as different nodes. Also the power of laser can decrease because the laser signal spread. Thus the sensor node which is located at a long distance from the base station cannot be detected. In order to overcome these problems which can be occurred in localization using ToF, the beam spot, the scanning resolution, the size of reflector and the power of laser at the sensor node were analyzed. It can be expected that the consequence of analysis can be provided in acquisition of accurate position of sensor node and construction of optics-based sensor node localization system.

The current blood control system is using barcode and scanning one by one to manage blood bags. To have better management and accuracy, an RFID BIS (blood information system) is implemented with an UHF RFID tag antenna using a reflecter for a blood bag has been used.. The UHF RFID tag for blood bag, attached on the high permittivity blood, is designed and fabricated. The tag antenna is optimized and fabricated with the simulation tests such as the existence and nonexistence of the reflector, various distance between the reflector and the dipole tag, the different widths of the reflector and the existence and nonexistence of the T-matching structure. The characteristics and the reading range patterns of the tag antennas are measured. The BIS is implemented with the new tag design.

Scanning Thermal Microscope (SThM) is the tool that can map out temperature or the thermal property distribution with the highest spatial resolution. Since the local temperature or the thermal property of samples is measured from the extremely small heat transferred through the nanoscale tip-sample contact, improving the sensitivity of SThM probe has always been the key issue. In this study, we develop a new design and fabrication process of SThM probe to improve the sensitivity. The fabrication process is optimized so that cantilevers and tips are made of thermally grown silicon dioxide, which has the lowest thermal conductivity among the materials used in MEMS. The new design allows much higher tip so that heat transfer through the air gap between the sample-probe is reduced further. The position of a reflector is located as far away as possible to minimize the thermal perturbation due to the laser. These full $SiO_2$ SThM probes have much higher sensitivity than that of previous ones.

This paper describes a sonic polygonal multiple reflection range sensor (SPMRS), which uses multiple reflection properties usually ignored in ultrasonic sensors as disturbances or noises. Targets such as a plane, corner, edge, or cylinder in indoor environments can easily be detected by the multiple reflection patterns obtained with a SPMRS system. Target classification and feature data extraction, such as distance and azimuth to the target, are computed simultaneously by considering the geometrical relationships between the detected targets, and finally the environment model is generated by refining the detected targets. In addition, the narrow field of view of a sonar range sensor is increased and the scanning time is reduced by active motion of the SPMRS stepping servomechanism.
