The phase evolution, microstructure, and microwave dielectric properties of Ba(Mg_0.5-2xY_2xW_0.5-xTi_x)O₃ (x＝ 0.005~0.05) ceramics sintered at 1,700℃ for 1h were investigated. All compositions exhibited a 1:1 ordered cubic perovskite structure. The field emission scanning electron microscopy image revealed a dense microstructure in all the compositions. As the value of x increased, the lattice parameter, dielectric constant, and quality factor increased. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency changed from -19.6 ppm/℃ to -5.9 ppm/℃ with increasing x value. The dielectric constant, quality factor, and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of Ba(Mg_0.40Y_0.10W_0.45Ti_0.05)O₃ were 21.7, 132,685 GHz, and -5.9 ppm/℃, respectively.

This paper dealt with the measurement and analysis of electromagnetic waves radiated from a partial discharge (PD) source in insulation oil to apply condition monitoring of oil-immersed transformers. Two types of narrow-band monopole antennas with the resonant frequency of a 500 MHz and a 1 GHz were designed and fabricated. Also, a needle plane electrode system was manufactured to simulate PDs and the curvature radius of the needle is 10 pm and the diameter of the plane is 60 mm. Electromagnetic wave was measured by the PD measurement system with the monopole antennas. Detection sensitivity of the fabricated antenna was compared for the same P1) magnitude; 620 mVpeak for the 500 MHz antenna and 960 mV1,t for the 1 GHz antenna to the PD magnitude of 74 pC. Consequently, the 1 GHz monopole antenna is more effective to detect PDs in oil immersed transformers.

In this work, we designed and fabricated a multilayer thin film Pb(Zr,Ti)O(3) cantilever with a Si proof mass for low frequency vibration energy harvesting applications. A mathematical model of a multi-layer composite beam was derived and applied in a parametric analysis of the piezoelectric cantilever. Finally, the dimensions of the cantilever were determined for the resonant frequency of the cantilever. We fabricated a device with beam dimensions of about 4,930 μm × 450 μm × 12 μm, and an integrated Si proof mass with dimensions of about 1,410 μm × 450 μm × 450 μm. The resonant frequency, maximum peak voltage, and highest average power of the cantilever device were 84.5 Hz, 88 mV, and 0.166 μWat 1.0 g and 23.7 Ω, respectively. The dimensions of the cantilever were determined for the resonance frequency of the cantilever.
