In this paper, a novel design method for an ultra-wide band TEM horn antenna is proposed on the basis of parallel plate waveguide theory. A principle of TEM modes generation is analyzed and the characteristics of this antenna are experimentally investigated. The proposed TEM horn antenna has an exponentially tapered structure to increase matching bandwidth. Also, the designed TEM horn has shortened length but increased aperture so that the bandwidth for cutoff frequency is increased. The measured result show that the proposed TEM hem antenna has the frequency band of 75 MHz to 1200 MHz for VSWR less than 2.0 and the bandwidth of the TEM horn becomes more than twice comparing to that of a linearly tapered TEM hem. It is anticipated that the manufactured antenna is applicable to UWB systems for impulse response measurement.

The higher mode cutoff frequencies in Crawford TEM cells computed by the Galerkin method(GM) describe in this paper. The authors also report the half mode boundaries to solve not only the cut-off frequencies of symmetric TEM cells and those of asymmetric TEM cells. It is shown that the measured resonant frequencies of the present symmetric TEM cells and a designed asymmetric TEM cell are agreed with the calculated results.

Annealing experiments on albite powders, thin sections, and TEM specimens have been performed utilizing an optical microscope heating stage. Sample orientations were determined by optical microscope and XRD, and then confirmed by TEM diffraction patterns. Partial melting of samples occurred at $1030^{\circ}C$-l2 hr for powder, but at $1060^{\circ}C$-12 hr for TEM specimen. It is difficult to get TEM images of albite microstructures above this temperature due to thickening and the amorphous phase of the melted part. Correlative studies between optical microscopy and TEM indicated that the $1050^{\circ}C$-12 hr annealing in ambient condition was most adequate to observe tweed microstructures in albite through TEM. In situ TEM heating experiments for direct observation of tweed microstructures in albite may require annealing at slightly higher temperatures than $1050^{\circ}C$ considering the high vacuum condition inside TEM.

The subject of this paper is the analysis of a Wire-TEM cell(W-TEM cell) which has an inner wire array rather than a metallic septum;its basic structure is similiar to a NBS TEM cell. To verify improved performances of this W-TEM cell as a standard EM field generator, well-known quasi-static approximations are employed and their resultant ingegral equations are numerically analyzed by moment method. Although the electric field strength of a W-TEM cell is 1.4 dB lower than tht of a NBS TEM cell, the uniformity of EM field patterns in a W-TEM cell is improved. It is also shown that the EM field distortions resulting from loading by the conditing objects under test(loading effects), are decreased considerably. This paper also deals with the investigations about relationship between the EM field distributions and the number of wire composing the inner conductor. Finally, the experimental analysis is performed on the practical model which is built on the basis of the design variables brought out by the theoretical andnumerical analysis.

A rectangular coaxial line is mainly utilized as a transition structure from a coaxial line to a rectangular waveguide. A TEM cell is also widely used to measure the EMC characteristics of a DUT. In order to understand the operations of a rectangular coaxial line and a TEM cell, it is essential to analyze the dispersion relations of a rectangular coaxial line and a TEM cell. In this paper, we present simple yet accurate dispersion relations of the TE and TM higher modes based on the TEM mode. Manipulating a mode-matching technique and a Green's function approach allows us to obtain the analytic dispersion equations of a rectangular coaxial line and a TEM cell. In our approach, a rectangular coaxial line is divided into four L-blocks and its electromagnetic fields representations are easily obtained with a superposition. To verify the convergence of our dispersion relations, we perform numerical computations and compare our results with those of FDTD.

The geophysical monitoring technique using the high resolution time-domain electromagnetic (TEM) method with a coincident loop away was applied for determination of an underground seawater flow in the coastal areas. In comparison of the TEM monitoring to direct current (DC) resistivity monitoring, the TEM response to the under ground seawater flow is less sensitive than the DC resistivity response. However, the TEM monitoring is more effective in terms of measuring time, survey expense, and real-time data processing than the DC monitoring thor evaluating the spatial distribution of the fresh water-seawater transition zone in a regional area.

최근의 나노기술의 발전과 함께 나노미터크기의 물질들의 물성과 미세구조 등을 분석하기 위한 노력들이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 투과전자현미경(transmission electron microscope; TEM)은 나노물질의 미세구조 관찰, 화학성분 분석, 전자기적 특성평가가 가능한 초정밀 분석장비이다. TEM 관찰을 위한 시편의 제작방법중 TEM 그리드(grid)를 사용하는 방법은, 분석하고자 하는 물질을 망(mesh) 형태의 그리드에 도포하여 샘플을 준비하는 방법으로 다른 방법에 비해 아주 빠르고 간편한 장점이 있다. 그러나 TEM 그리드에 나노물질을 분산/도포하여 공중에 떠있는 형태로 샘플을 제작하려면, 나노물질이 mesh 사이로 빠져나오지 않도록 그리드 mesh의 간격이 아주 미세하여야 하는데, 일반적으로 mesh의 크기가 미세할수록 그리드의 가격은 높아진다. 또한 기존에 사용되고 있는 비정질 탄소박막으로 덮여진 그리드는 극미세 크기의 나노물질 및 탄소나노물질을 분석할 경우, 고해상도의 TEM상을 얻는데 한계가 있다. 한편 그래핀은 2차원의 육각판상의 구조로 탄소원자가 빼곡히 채워진 흑연 한 층의 나노재료이다. 이는 원자단위 두께로 가장 얇은 물질로서 기계적 강도가 우수하여 지지막으로의 응용이 가능하다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 TEM grid막으로 사용할 경우 기존의 고가의 미세한 mesh가 형성된 그리드를 사용하지 않아도 나노물질을 효과적으로 분석할 수 있을 것으로 예상 된다. 본 연구에서는 열화학증기증착법(thermal chemical vapor deposition; TCVD)을 이용하여 300 nm 두께의 니켈박막이 증착된 기판위에 대면적으로 합성한 그래핀을 TEM 관찰용 그리드 위에 전사(transfer)함으로써 나노물질이 그리드 mesh사이로 빠져나오지 않는 저가의 TEM 그리드 제작 방법 및 응용 가능성에 대하여 보고한다.

In this paper, we analyze the cutoff frequencies of the TEM Cells by the FDTD, and introduce new boundary condition for the FDTD to identify the modes. Then, we confirm efficiency of the FDTD comparing results in previous papers. We also give our opinion from the results by FDTD to the arguments, which is resulted from different results about cutoff frequencies in the TEM Cells, especially the symmetric TEM Cells.

There is great requirement on the TEM specimen preparation method with particle size selectivity as a prerequisite for the quantitative structure analysis on the materials such as gibbsite powder, which generally forms a large agglomerate and shows a variation of transition process depending on their sizes. In this experiment, we made an attempt to give a methodology for the TEM specimen preparation of powder with the size selectivity. After mixing 1 wt% gibbsite powder with ethanol solvent, gibbsite suspension was prepared by application of ball-milling and ultrasonification with addition of 0.25 vol% dispersion agent, Darvan C, which was diluted into distilled water by the ratio 1:19. Appling the static sedimentation method to gibbsite suspension after estimation of the sedimentation time by the measurement of accumulative concentration variation, we acquired TEM specimens with well-dispersed and size selected gibbsite particles in nm scale. Overall picture of each sample was taken by SEM and morphology of each dispersed particle was imaged by TEM. Raw and processed gibbsite powders were also examined by XRD to investigate whether they were suffered from phase change during the process or not.

In this paper, a twice folded TEM horn antenna for 70 kV impulse high power system is proposed. The length reduction of 50 % is achieved by folding a conventional TEM horn antenna twice. The array elements are fed by the stripline power divider using the Chebyshev transformer. The power divider feeds four TEM horn antenna elements with an in-phased uniform power, and it covers a wide bandwidth ($150\;MHz\;{\sim}\;768\;MHz$, VSWR<2.0). Considering the air breakdown at peak 70 kV impulse, the proposed antenna maintains the 25 mm gaps between conducting plates. The dimension of the twice folded horn antenna is $1730\;{\times}\;1600\;{\times}\;300$ (mm3), and the operating frequency is from 152 MHz to 750 MHz under 10 dB return loss. The peak gains are measured from 6.77 dBi to 10.70 dBi at $400\;MHz\;{\sim}\;750\;MHz$.
