"Antena aktif yang merupakan integrasi antara antena gelombang mikro dengan perangkat aktif seperti amplifier telah mendapat perhatian yang luas pada beberapa tahun belakangan ini. Pada umumnya, penempatan elemen aktif yaitu transistor microwave dalam rangkaian terintegrasi microwave (Microwave Integrated Circuit, MIC) dibuat pada saluran transmisi microstrip. Pada tesis ini dibahas mengenai rancangan microwave power amplifier sebagai elemen aktif dari antena yang dibuat dengan memakai rangkaian penyesuai saluran transmisi coplanar waveguide. Keuntungan utama yang diharapkan dapat diperoleh dengan pemakaian coplanar waveguide antara lain; interkoneksi komponen pada rangkaian lebih mudah karena hanya bagian permukaan dari struktumya yang diperlukan, memberikan kemudahan dalam memperluas rangkaian pada bidang atas substrat sehingga sangat sesuai digunakan pada rangkaian terintegrasi microwave.Transistor microwave yang dipakai pada rancangan amplifier ini adalah GaAs MeSFET tipe NE 76084 yang memiliki potensi tidak stabil (potentially unstable) pada frekuensi 5 GHz, dan kondisi ini umumnya dihindari dalam rancangan microwave amplifier. Sekalipun transistor tersebut berpotensi tidak stabil, pada tesis ini diperlihatkan realisasi rancangan microwave amplifier dengan membuatnya menjadi stabil melalui pemilihan koefisien refleksi beban yang sesuai.Perancangan dilakukan dengan bantuan perangkat lunak CAD untuk amplifier, AutoCAD dan perangkat keras mesin cetak quick circuit. Pengukuran terhadap beberapa parameter seperti power gain, bandwith, return loss dan VSWR dilakukan pada rancangan akhir amplifier dengan frekuensi operasi 5 GHz.

Active antennas which are integration between microwave antenna and an active device such as amplifier have found wide interest in the past few years. Mostly, the placement of active element (i.e. microwave transistor) in microwave integrated circuit (MIC) made on microstrip transmission line. This paper describes the design of microwave power amplifier as an active part of active antenna implemented on coplanar waveguide. With the design proposed here, the main advantage which may be expected from the proposed coplanar waveguide compared to microstrip line is based on the fact, that network interconnection is easily obtained. It structure's necessary only on the surface side of the substrate, allowing planar circuits on the top side to be extended and thus making it compatible with microwave integrated-circuit.

The amplifier investigated in this paper utilized GaAs MeSFET (NE 76084) which is potentially unstable can be realized by the proper selection of the load reflection coefficient. This condition must, therefore, be avoided for the design of microwave amplifier.

The amplifier was designed using several tools such as CAD for amplifier and Auto CAD software, and Quick-circuit machine. Measured result of power gain, VSWR and bandwidth of the amplifier operating in 5 GHz are given."

"The use of Waste Cooking Oil (WCO) as feedstock, and microwave heating technology are favored to reduce the cost of biodiesel. In order to identify the effect of using biodiesel from WCO Methyl Ester (WCOME) blends on diesel engine emissions and performance, WCOME blends were tested in a single-cylinder Direct Injection (DI) diesel engine at a constant speed of 2500 rpm and with five loads. For comparison, commercial diesel fuel, Petron Diesel Max (PDM), and biodiesel mixture from palm oil (POME) were also used. The performance and emission test results of the five test fuels: PDM, BP10, BP20, BW10, and BW20 were then compared with simulation results created by using GT-Power software. The experimental results indicated that using POME and WCOME blends led to increments in Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) of up to 5.9% and reduction in Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) of up to 29.3% compare to PDM. These biodiesel blends also increased nitrogen oxide emissions and decreased carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions for all engine loads at a constant speed of 2500 rpm. The experimental testing of the cylinder peak pressure demonstrates significant increase with the increase of engine load for the four test fuels. All the simulation graphs show similar trends."

"The demand for high-speed data transmission has increased significantly in the last decades. Terahertz (THz) frequency, which lies between 100 GHz to 10 THz, has been considered as the solution to the demand. However, the low gain and low efficiency of a THz antenna remain to be issues that hinder reasonable performance for various applications. This paper proposes the design of a high-gain and high-efficiency planar bow-tie antenna for applications in the THz frequency. A planar bow-tie on a high-resistivity silicon substrate is considered to obtain the broadband characteristics. To increase the gain and efficiency, a dielectric silicon lens and a matching layer based on the quarter-wavelength are applied in the design. From simulations using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio, gain and radiation efficiency of up to 32.69 dB and 90.4% are obtained, respectively. This proposed design has shown high radiation performance suitable for high-speed transmission systems."
