The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of size and permittivity on the specific absorption rate(SAR) values of rat brains during microwave exposure at mobile phone frequency bands. A finite difference time domain (FDTD) technique with perfect matching layer(PML) absorbing boundaries is used for this evaluation process. A color coded digital image of the Sprague Dawley(SD) rat based on magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) is used in FDTD calculation with appropriate permittivity values corresponding to different tissues for 3, 4, 7, and 10 week old rats. This study is comprised of three major parts. First, the rat model structure is scaled uniformly, i.e., the rat size is increased without change in permittivity. The simulated SAR values are compared with other experimental and numerical results. Second, the effect of permittivity on SAR values is examined by simulating the microwave exposure on rat brains with various permittivity values for a fixed rat size. Finally, the SAR distributions in depth, and the brain-averaged SAR and brain 1 voxel peak SAR values are computed during the microwave exposure on a rat model structure when both size and permittivity have varied corresponding to different ages ranging from 3 to 10 weeks. At 900 MHz, the simulation results show that the brain-averaged SAR values decreased by about 54 % for size variation from the 3 week to the 10 week-old rat model, while the SAR values decreased only by about 16 % for permittivity variation. It is found that the brain averaged SAR values decreased by about 63 % when the variations in size and permittivity are taken together. At 1,800 MHz, the brain-averaged SAR value is decreased by 200 % for size variation, 9.7 % for permittivity variation, and 207 % for both size and permittivity variations.

Materials used at microwave are usually used as a dielectric with a manufacturing purpose of printed circuit boards, etc. Complex permittivity of them can be measured from attenuation constant or propagation constant of a transmission line using a microstrip line with bulk type. But as the technique recently which can manufacture to have complex permittivity and permeability demanded using nonferrous metals for powder-type grows up, we need sensors and methods which can measure characteristics of powder-type materials. So far measuring methods of permittivity and permeability with waveguide or coaxial cable are used but they have faults which have a complex measurement method and are difficult to simultaneously measure permittivity and permeability. In this paper, a simultaneous measuring method of permittivity and permeability with 2-port coaxial cable and a new proposed calculation. The proposed 2-port coaxial cable is designed to be easy to insert materials and to have a wideband. We measure permittivity and permeability of magnetic powder(Ni-Fe-Mo, Ni-Fe) which reveal its characteristic at $0.3{\sim}1.3GHz$ to identify the proposed sensor.

We measured the permittivity and electromagnetic wave propagation velocity of used insulation oil with wide frequency range including ultra-high frequency by time domain reflectometry. The permittivity or propagation velocity is essential for locating discharge faults of oil filled power transformer. We derived 2.21 as a permittivity and $2.03{\times}10^8 m/s$ as a velocity from the measurement of pulse travelling time along a coaxial line filled with used insulation oil or air. The permittivity measurement system we designed shows high measurement accuracy and the convenience for field use.

A functionally graded material (FGM) spacer, which the distribution of dielectric permittivity inside an insulator changes spatially, can considerably reduce the electric field concentration around a high-voltage electrode and along the gas-insulator interface when compared to a conventional spacer with a uniform permittivity distribution. In this research, we propose the FGM spacer with an elliptical permittivity distribution instead of that with a distribution of dielectric permittivity varying along a radial direction only in order to improve efficiently the insulation capability. The optimal design of the elliptical FGM spacer configuration is performed by using the response surface methodology (RSM) combined with the steepest descent method (SDM).

The impedance bandwidth and radiation characteristics of an aperture-coupled microstrip line-fed patch antenna (ACMPA) with a high permittivity (${\varepsilon}_r=10$) feed substrate suitable for integration with a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) are investigated for various feed substrate thicknesses through an experiment and computer simulation. The impedance bandwidth of an ACMPA with a high permittivity feed substrate increases as the feed substrate thickness decreases. Furthermore, the front-to-back ratio of an ACMPA with a high permittivity feed substrate increases and the cross-polarization level decreases as the feed substrate thickness decreases. As the impedance bandwidth of an ACMPA with a high permittivity feed substrate increases and its radiation characteristics improve as the feed substrate thickness decreases, the ACMPA configuration becomes suitable for integration with an MMIC.

This paper describes measurement of relative permittivity of illite found in young-dong area. A measurement of relative permittivity of illite used to cylindrical cavity resonators with moveable cap. A concentric dielectric-rod inserted cylindrical cavity resonator and an exact field representation of travelling wave mode are introduced for measurement of relative permittivity. The exact electromagnetic fields in cylindrical cavity with concentric dielectric rod is analysed. A relative permittivity of dielectric in cavity is calculated by analyzing the characteristic equation. The characteristic equation is solved by using the ContourPlot graph of Mathematica. We know that the field representation of travelling mode is exact. As a result, relative permittivity of dielectric materials were 7.820 at sample-1 and 7.894 at sample-2.

This paper researched permittivity of carbon nanotube reinforced semiconductive shield materials for power cable in accordance with carbon nanotube content. Permittivity measured 1[Hz], 1[kHz], 1[Mhz] in frequency range, and range of temperature measured to 100$[^{\circ}C]$ from -50$[^{\circ}C]$. It is stable to 100$[^{\circ}C]$ from -50$[^{\circ}C]$ without different gap. But, in case of CNT:CB=100:0, permittivity decreased by temperature increment. Also, in case of CNT:CB=100:0, it shows highest permittivity. Permittivity of change have little no the power of influence by frequency, but in case of 1[Mhz], CNT:CB=100:0 of specimen decreased more than other frequency. This influence thinks phenomenon of induced electricity dispersion.

In this paper, a theoretical method has been developed for the electric double layer interaction under condition of the variable dielectric permittivity of water. Using Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE), for one plate and two plates having similar or dissimilar constant charge or constant potential, we have investigated the electric double layer potential, its gradient and the disjoining pressure as well as the effect of variation of dielectric permittivity on these parameters. It has been assumed that plates are separated by a specific distance and contain a liquid solution in between. It is shown that reduction of the dielectric permittivity near the interfaces results in compression of electric double layers and affects the potential and its gradient which leads to a decreased electrostatic repulsion. In addition, it is shown that variation of dielectric permittivity in the case of higher electrolyte concentration, leads to a greater change in potential distribution between two plates.

빗방울이 랜덤하게 분포한 대기를 하나의 실효유전율을 가진 단일 매질로 가정하고 그 매질 내에서 전파가 진행시 감쇠량을 계산하였다. 실효유전율은 빗방울의 유전율과 빗방울이 대기 중에 차지하는 체적 동의 함수로 표현되는데, 주파수와 온도에 따라 변하는 빗방울의 유전율을 계산하고 Marshall-Palmer의 빗방울 크기분포를 이용하여 대기 중 빗방울이 차지하는 체적을 계산하였다. 빗방울이 산재한 대기를 단일 매질로 가정하고 실효유전율을 이용하여 강우에 의한 강우감죄량을 예측한 본 모델과 ITU가 권고하는 강우에 의한 전파감쇠모텔과 비교 하였는데 두 모델의 결과값이 비교적 일치하며 50 GHz 이하에서는 실효유전율 모텔이 낮게, 50 GHz 이상의 주 파수대역에서는높게 강우감쇠량을평가하고 있다.

본 연구에서는 저주파수 영역에서 유전상수 측정시 발생할 수 있는 왜곡효과를 규명하고, 함수비에 따른 사질토의 유전상수 변화를 실수부와 허수부를 구분하여 조사하였다. 축전기 형태의 셀에서 유전상수를 측정하는 경우 100kHz 이하의 주파수 영역에서 전극분극효과에 의하여 실제 매질의 유전상수보다 크게 측정되었기 때문에 전극 분극효과에 의한 영향을 배제하기 위해서는 100kHz 이상의 주파수에서 유전상수가 평가되어야 하는 것으로 판단되었다. 함수비에 따른 사질토의 유전상수를 평가한 결과 체적함수비 증가에 따라 연속적인 증가경향을 나타내었다. 이는 유전상수 실수부의 경우에는 사질토에서 발생하는 분극이 단위체적당 쌍극자 모멘트에 비례하기 때문이며, 유전상수 허수부의 경우에는 함수비 증가에 따른 전도손실량이 증가하기 때문이다. 그러나 유전상수 실수부에서의 체적함수비에 따른 증가경향은 공간전하분극의 영향이 크지 많은 1MHz 이상의 주파수 영역에서 유효한 것으로 나타났다.
