COMMISSION A: ELECTROMAGNETIC METROLOGY
Prepared by Dau-Chyrh Chang
The activities of commission A, China SRS (Taipei, R.O.C.), have several significant
progresses in the last three years. These progresses are separately discussed below;
1. RF Measurement Development
Due to the requirement of R&D in communication, there are a lots of RF test facility in the
institute, universities, and industries. Most of the RF measurements are the vector S-parameters
(parameters of scattering matrix). The two ports network, such as S11, S21, S12 , S22 , are the most
popular measurement. The S11, S22 which are related to the input/output impedance mismatch
problem. The S21, S12 which are the transfer functions for antenna patterns.
The first universal hybrid near field range for S21, S12 was build at Da Yeh University.
There are eight precision synchro motors to control the shapes of scan aperture. The planar scan
(plane polar, plane linear, and plane rectangular), the spherical scan, and the cylindrical can be
accomplished by the hybrid scanner. The plane scanner is used for high directivity (reflector,
two dimensional array, etc.) antenna measurement, such as VSAT antenna. The spherical scan
is used for low directivity antenna measurement, such as buletooth antenna, wireless LAN
antenna. The cylindrical scan is used for fan beam antenna measurement, such as traditional base
station antenna. Except for the hybrid scan capability, the analysis software has the capabilities
with three dimensional patterns, any cut of patterns, RHCP/LHCP, and antenna holograph. The
related paper were published [Chang, etc.]
Prime feed compact range with frequency at Ka band is under developed. The 50 cm quiet
is generated by the 150 cm diameter paraboloid [Chang, et al, 2000]. Compact
range
with
dual-reflector has larger effective quiet zone area than that of single-reflector. A new
dual-reflector compact range system with a spherical main reflector and a shaped sub-reflector
was designed, and three systems were manufactured at CSIST, Taiwan, R.O.C. [Chang, et al.,
1999].
12
Two types of in-door far-field anechoic chambers, the rectangular and the tapered types,
were considered for a new program of ultra wide-band antenna pattern measurement. The
illuminated amplitude variation caused by multi-path signals to the test zone of AUT (Antenna
under Test) was described [Chang, Yang, and Jan, 1999]. The gain, the beamwidth, the
position of phase center of transmitting antenna, and the reflectivity of absorber were also
discussed.
A method for measuring elliptically or circularly polarized antenna system without
continuously rotating the transmitting feed was described [Chang, Jan, and Chang, 1999]. A
precision measurement of RF power using a coaxial micro-calorimeter system developed recently
at the Center for Measurement Standard (CMS, Taiwan, and R.O.C.) was completed. The
system using the isothermal method was established for determining the effective efficiency of a
bolometer mount in the RF range from 10 MHz to 18 GHz [Chi, 2001].
An impulse time domain measurement will be built in July 2002. The transmit pulse width
is within 30 pico second. After the Fourier transformation, the bandwidth in frequency will cover
from 100 MHz to 26 GHz. The system will be used for antenna pattern measurement with gate
off the effects of multipath. By the way it will reduce the co channel interference during outside
far field range antenna measurement. The system can be also used for PPM (pulse position
modulation) in future 4 G communication [Levitas, 2002]. The system will be build at Da Yeh
University for outside far field range with distance 115 m and 230 m respectively [Chang, 2002].
2. TIME KEEPING AND TIME TRANSFER
A new synchronizing audio time report system has been operating at the
Telecommunication Laboratories (TL). This system, developed by the National Standard
Frequency and Time Section in TL, Taiwan, R.O.C., can deliver the accurate standard time to the
general public through the Public Switching Telephone Network (PSTN). The software
programming, the system architecture, and the hardware configuration (synchronized time code
generating unit, voice library unit, voice generating unit, and the controlling unit) were all
published [Lin et al., 1995].
The first two-way time transfer-experiment, which uses an INTELSAT Ku-band satellite in
eastern Asia with cooperation by Telecommunication Laboratory (TL, Taiwan, R.O.C.),
Communications Research Laboratory (CRL, Japan), and Korea Research Institute of Standard
13
and Science (KRISS, Korea), were carried out during 1992. The CRL-KRISS experiment
attained a short term precision of better than 1 ns. The CRL-TL experiment suffered from a low
C/N ratio which made the short term precision longer than 1 ns [Engelkemier, et al., 1995].
3. EMC Research
Taiwan has manufactured and developed varies kinds of electrical and electronic products.
Most of the products are exporting. The products during developed by companies should be
considered the requirement of EMC regulation. Most of companies have their own EMC
facilities for their own products. The government announced the EMC regulation on January 1,
1998. The government has also spent US$25,000,000 to build a large EMC test facility for the
service of electronic and electrical products, which are importing or exporting. There are there
National EMC Conferences at Taipei on October every year. Many papers are presented during
the conference. [Chang, et al., 1998]

COMMISION C: SIGNALS AND SYSTEMS
Prepared by Lung-Sing Liang
1. Wireless, Networks and Communications
In the area of wireless communications and networks, a lot of important technology
discoveries and breakthroughs are obtained in recent three years. A simple and a complete
scheme with four-levels of key hierarchy for the key distribution management CAS of the
pay-TV system was suggested [Tu et al., 1999]. A novel differentially coherent delay-locked loop
(DCDLL) for accurate code tracking for direct sequence spread-spectrum systems was presented
[Fang and Tsai, 1999]. A new power control method for mobile radio channels was proposed and
evaluated, where power adjustment was done through the joint knowledge of signal strength and
signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) [Yang and Chang, 1999]. Constraints on the service function in
order to provide not only deterministic bounded loss ratio under a given buffer capacity but also
bounded delay was suggested [Chung and Chang, 2000]. An optical spectral coding scheme was
proposed for fiber-optic code-division multiple access (FO-CDMA) communications, which was
based on the pseudo-orthogonality of FO-CDMA codes [Huang and Hsu, 2000]. An extended
known message attack to show that the message recovery signature scheme based on S3 and S5
has the security problem was studied [Lin and Laih, 2000]. A new application of grey theory to
the power control strategy in the direct-sequence code-division multiple-access cellular mobile
systems was introduced to mitigate the channel variation effect precisely [Su et al., 2000]. A
framework for real-time multimedia transmission in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)
networks using an efficient traffic scheduling scheme called multilayer gated frame queuing
(MGFQ) was proposed [Tsou et al., 2000]. An algorithm for computing multiplications over a
finite field GF(2m) was presented using the properties of the irreducible all one polynomial of
degree m. Based on the algorithm, a parallel-in parallel-out systolic multiplier was proposed [Lee
et al., 2001]. The mobile location query service with a certain degree of subscriber control and
further combine a web environment was proposed [Wu and Sun, 2001]. The issues of twisted
Sector Cell on Local Multipoint were discussed [Tsay and Wang, 2001]. A novel assessment
method of co-channel interference in fixed wireless cellular system operating at Ka band was
studied [Wang and Tsay, 2001].
2. Signal Processing
Signal processing research activities has also been increasing extensive in recent three years.
33
Several important landmarks of signal processing are outlined here. An automatic testing and
measurement system, which primarily involves a spectral characterization process, for camera
spectral responsibilities was proposed [Chang and Chen, 1999]. The optimal design of
two-channel non-uniform-division filter (NDF) banks whose linear-phase FIR analysis and
synthesis filters have coefficients constrained to -1, 0, and +1 only was presented [Lee and Tang,
1999]. Based on the human visual system’s perception of color information, a dependent scalar
quantization approach to extract the characteristic colors of an image as color features was
presented [Pei and Cheng, 1999]. Several grey-based stochastic models were applied to predict
the optimal calibration interval in a measuring instrument [Liu and Liu, 1999]. A wavelet-based
method is proposed to extract the tumor region from a color medical image [Lee et al., 1999]. A
technique to construct a positive definite matrix based on the signal blocking matrix and then use
this matrix to compensate the effect of the signal blocking matrix on the sensor noise received by
an eigenspace-based interference cancellers (EICs) was demonstrated [Lee and Cheng, 2000].
Considering the monosyllabic structure of the Chinese language, a whole class of indexing
features for retrieval of spoken documents in Mandarin Chinese using syllable-level statistical
characteristics has been studied, and very encouraging experimental results on retrieval of
broadcast news speech collected in Taiwan were obtained [Chen et al., 2000]. The recursive
architectures for the modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) and its inverse transform
(IMDCT) which are the most complex operations in layer 3 of the MPEG audio coding standard
were presented [Chen et al., 2000]. A new general linearly constrained recursive least squares
(RLS) array beamforming algorithm, based on an inverse QR decomposition, is developed for
multiple jammer suppression [Chang and Chern, 2001]. A general linearly constrained recursive
least squares (RLS) filtering algorithm, based on an inverse QR decomposition, is developed and
applied to the minimum variance filtering problem, where the adaptation (or Kalman) gain is
evaluated via the Givens rotation [Chern and Chang, 2001]. A novel voice-driven adaptive
packet loss recovery algorithm was proposed to lessen the possible voice degradation and error
propagation for analysis-by-synthesis speech coders in Internet applications [Wang et al., 2001].
A connected-index approach to construct efficient finite-length arithmetic codes by splitting the
information of the last non-fitting symbol into the current and subsequent codewords was
proposed [Chan et al., 2001]. With the operations of the cyclic shifting and the inner product, an
effective algorithm for computing multiplications over a class of GF(2/sup m/) was developed
[Lee et al., 2001]. A complete development of computer-aided analysis and design approaches
for spoken dialogue systems based on quantitative simulations was presented [Lin and Lee, 2001].
A 3D textured polygonal facial model estimation algorithm, which takes facial model estimation,
texture mapping, and head pose estimation as complementary processes, was presented. [Chang
and Chen, 2001]. Efficient algorithms for quaternion Fourier transform (QFT), quaternion
34
convolution (QCV), and quaternion correlation using conventional complex two-dimensional
(2-D) Fourier transform (FT) were developed [Pei et al., 2001].

1. Microwave Devices
GaAs-based microwave devices have been studied and developed for many years in
Taiwan. Heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT)、metal-semiconductor FET (MESFET) and
pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors (P-HEMT) for different structures and
functions have been developed in many universities, including: National Taiwan |University
(NTU) 、 National Central University (NCU) 、 National Tsing Hwa University (NTHU) 、
National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) and other universities. In the industry, there are about
8 epi-house for GaAs、InP and GaN epilayers and device growth, e.g. VPEC、Procomp
Informatics Ltd.、Kingmax Co.、South Epitaxy Corp.、Epitech Technology Corp. and Copin
Taiwan. The production yields of these companies could all reach above 90%. These are also
about 8 companies for the fabrications and foundries of GaAs-related devices, e.g. Win Co.、
Transcom Inc.、Advanced Wireless Semiconductor Company、Hexawave Inc.、GCT、SUNTEK
etc. Different companies process GaAs wafers with different sizes,
from 3 inches to 6 inches. The cut-off frequency ft and maximum frequency fmax also vary from 1
GHz ~ 80 GHz. It is also very common for these companies to corporate with local university in
Taiwan to develop GaAs-based, InP-based and GaN-based microwave devices.
Compound Semiconductor Co.
2. Hybrid and Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits （HMIC and MMIC）
The radio-frequency integrated circuits (RF IC) are widely studied and fabricated in the
universities、 research organization and industries. The transmitter and receiver in RF IC for
2G、2.5G、3G and B3G wireless communication are also extensively studied in many
universities, e.g. NTU、NCTU、NCU、NCKU and many other universities. Both silicon and
GaAs substrates were used for the fabrication of these HMIC and MMIC, as shown in Fig. 1. The
components developed in Taiwan includes: low noise amplifier、power amplifier、mixer、
voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)、filter、switch and system on a chip (SOC) or system in a
package (SIP). The RFIC components are mainly used in cellular/PCS/wireless local loop
(WLL)、satellite TV、cable TV、fiber-optic nodes、optical fiber communications、global
positioning (GPS)、wireless LA、very small aperture terminal (VSAT)、satellite cellular and
local multipoint distribution systems (LMDM) and MVDS. The companies for RFIC and
38
transceiver cover design houses (10)、epi-house（8）、fab（8）、testing（3）、package（7），
and system house（over 10）. Therefore，the RFIC developed in communication systems are very
optimistic in the future in Taiwan.

The research concerning interference to a communication system and noise, either
man-made or natural, in the environment has been relatively limited compared to activities in
other areas. This kind of research can be broadly related to the study of electromagnetic
compatibility. However, there had been no EMC specific conference in Taiwan until 1999, in
which year the first EMC Conference was held. Since the conference is domestic in nature,
papers may not be written in English. In particular, two papers were presented by major cellular
service providers. One concerned with the characteristics of the co-channel interference and the
measure taken to reduce the interference. The other dealt with the problem that how wide the
guard band in the 900 MHz range should be to provide adequate protection between different
service providers. Since 1999, the Taiwan EMC Conference has been regularly held every year.
We therefore anticipate seeing more research activity directly related to Commission E and
eventually more results will be available in international literature. In addition to this,
techniques, mainly algorithms, of interference cancellation regularly appear in the open literature
[Lee and Lee, 1999; Lee and Lee, 2000].

COMMISSION F: WAVE PROPAGATION AND REMOTE SENSING
Prepared by K. S. Chen
In this summary, we outline the study of wave propagation through random media with
applications to wireless communication and remote sensing. In particular, microwave and
millimeter regions are emphasized. Approaches that are taken to understand and characterize the
propagation effects include theoretical modeling, numerical simulation, and experimental
measurement. We will first present the advances of the theoretical EM model for randomly rough
surfaces. A fast MoM-based numerical simulation was developed for rough surfaces with
inhomogeneous layers. Both outdoor and indoor measurements at GSM and ISM bands, and
K-band for signal attenuation and delay spread are studied. A 2.4 GHz image and data
transmission system onboard UAV is also presented followed by an introduction of the rain and
tree effects measurements for the LMDS at 28 GHz. Attenuation due to rain has long been
recognized as a major limitation to reliable communication system operating at higher frequency
like Local Multipoint Distribution Services (LMDS). It restricts the path length of radio
communication systems and limits the use of higher frequencies for line-of-sight microwave
links. In a subtropical region, like Taiwan, excessive rainfall is a common phenomenon through
out the year. In this paper, newest rain attenuation and rain rate distribution model was presented
to analysis the LMDS system S/I, channel capacity, and bit error rate performance in Taiwan rain
fading environment. The use of the Newbridge Networks Inc. LMDS system parameters and
different cell size result was also provided to optimize the LMDS system in Taiwan. A fixed
margin implies that the channel capacity is in sufficiently utilized for a considerably high
percentage of time (disregarding the fact that all practical systems tend to utilize their channels
poorly). In many cases this wastage has economical and practical justifications. However, there
are situations where the fixed link budget margin design philosophy is highly unsatisfactory, and
a typical example is link frequency using Ka-band. For heavy rain regions with terminal stations
operating at Ka band, such as LMDS communication system, fixed link margins for high
availability lose the economical justification and adaptive techniques are required to improve the
utilization of the channel. In our study of radio propagation characteristics for LMDS, we use the
rain fade which is predicted in the third section, based on the effective utilization of the channel
proposed in [4] to study the outage rates both in terms of channel capacity and bit error rate
(BER).
The second part of the group study is devoted to the use of satellite radar interferometry to
45
measure the earth terrain height and its deformation and movement. SAR not only obtains the
radar scattering coefficient of the land cover, but also carries the phase information about the
target when a pair of data is coherently processed. The phase has two major parts: the
characteristics of the land cover itself and the distance between radar and the surface height. A
single-phase echo essentially bears no information. Therefore, one must have at least one image
pair with the same measuring direction and near the same measuring position to examine the
difference of echoes. If the characteristics of the land cover change little during the period of
images taken, we can ignore the influence of phase caused by it, and then get the radar
interferogram produced by the difference of the measuring distance. We then calculate the
difference of the distance by using the interferometric image pairs, and furthermore we use the
differential interferogram with the same area but at different time to calculate the height changes
and the crustal movements.
Although many successful application examples are validated, the technique is not yet fully
proven to provide the surface change information at the level of confidence required by
seismology community. This is mainly because of several error sources contributed to total radar
propagation path. For example, the atmospheric conditions introduce the tropospheric delay to
the total path delay and thus increase the level of uncertainties in the order of centimeter scale.
Traveling ionospheric disturbance also contribute additional propagation delay. The
inhomogenity of the propagation medium is generally localized. In terms of satellite orbit
parameter itself, it is known that favorable baseline for the differential InSAR are not always
ensured. For DEM generation, long baseline may be preferred, but for differential radar
interferometry, since relative change is concerned, short baseline (ideally zero) is mostly desired.
High relief of terrains poses another error source that need to be calibrated. Application examples
are illustrated on the deformations induced by earthquake and land subsidence. The ionospheric
and atmospheric disturbance, however, introduces phase error, to some extent, and thus affects
the accuracy of the radar interferometry, which measures the deformation at mm scale.
Corrections by GPS and radiometer observations are being carried out and will be described. In
particular, wet delay due to troposphere is estimated to compensate the phase error and hence to
improve the accuracy so that a long-term slow movements can be detected. Finally, an ongoing
project, an airborne synthetic aperture radar system that integrates the aircraft, satellite, and
ground station data link will be discussed. The system is aimed at real-time environments
monitoring to corporate and complement current satellite remote sensing program.

COMMISION G: IONOSPHERIC RADIO AND PROPAGATION
Prepared by members of Commission G
Equatorial Anomaly Ionosphere
Taiwan is located in the ionospheric equatorial anomaly crest region.
The local scientists
have investigated the diurnal, seasonal and solar activity variations of the equatorial anomaly
ionosphere during both quiet and disturbed periods extensively. A statistical technique,
two-segmented model, is developed to examine the saturation effect in ionospheric foF2 vs
sunspot number (Chen et al., 2000) and solar EUV radiations (Liu et al., 2002a). A GPS
network along the 120E was used to monitor the ionospheric GPS TEC in various seasons (Tsai
et al. 2001). A 4-ionosonde chain along the 120 E was setup to monitor the diurnal variations in
the equatorial and low-latitude ionosohere in the West Pacific region (Hsiao, et al., 2001). A
GPS application was developed to investigate the ionospheric TEC response to solar eclipses
(Tsai et al., 1999; Liu et al., 1999a) and, the ionospheric TEC (Liu et al., 1999b) and GPS phase
fluctuations during geomagnetic storms (Shan et al., 2002). The traveling atmospheric
disturbance (TAD) during the 6-7 April 2000 geomagnetic storm was observed by two digital
ionosondes (Lee et al., 2002).
Radar Techniques and Observations
Observational evidences of the VHF radar spectra with extremely narrow width (only 3 ~ 10
m/s) and small Doppler frequency shift (about 10 ~ 30 m/s) associated with the plasma
irregularity patches in the nighttime sporadic E layer in the equatorial anomalous crest region are
investigated bu using interferometry technique. The results show that the plasma irregularity
patches located in the height range of 105 ~ 110 km with two or three fine sheets separated by 2
km are responsible for these enormously narrow radar spectra (Chu and Wang, 1999). The spatial
structure of field-aligned 3-meter plasma irregularities in ionospheric sporadic E (Es) layer are
analyzed and investigated by using the Chung-Li VHF radar (Wang and Chu, 2001). The
geometry of the plasma structure is identified as an isolated and solid blob-like plasma structure
with elliptical cross section. The average lengths of the major and minor axes of the cross section
54
are, respectively, 8.7 and 6.4 km, in which the major axis is primarily parallel to north-south
direction and minor axis lies in east-west direction. Concurrent observations between VHF
radar and ionosonde were performed (Liu et al., 2002; Lee, et al. 2000; 2001a) while some new
techniques were introduced to from VHF radar to a digital ionosonde (Lee et al. 2001b).
Satellite and Space Station Observations
The first scientific satellite of the Republic of China Satellite, ROCSAT-1 was Lanuched
into a 600 km circuler orbit with 35°inclination at 0038 UT January 28, 1999 from Cape
Canaveral, Florida, U.S.A.
The onboard Ionospheric Plasma and Electrodynamics Instrument,
IPEI, consists of four sensors to measure the ion plasma propertises of the Low-and mid-latitate
topside ionosphere. During in first three years of operation, IPEI data has been ultilzed to study.
（1） The transition scale-size（10~100m）characteristics of the equatorial spread-F（ESF）
plasme irregularities for occurrence statistics in longitudinal and magnetic variations.
（2） The coincident observations of the density irregularities with the ground scintillation
experiement.
（3） The onset conditions for the ESF irregularities .
（4） The coupling of the magnetosphere-ionospheric system during a magnetic storm.
（5） The large amount of minor NO﹢ ions at 600 km altitude inside a fast rising plasme
bubble and through the interhemispheris plasme transport.
Hemispheric asymmeties for the occurrence of 0﹢to become the minor ion species at 600
km altitude with solar F10.7 flux effects, seasonal variations and latitudinal dependences.
For COSMIC project, the GPS/MET techniques were investigated and applied to derive
vertical density profiles in the ionosphere (Tsai et al., 2001; Tsai et al., 2002) while a concurrent
space- and ground-based observation was reviewed (Liu et al., 2001). Meanwhile, a concurrent
observation of the ground-based digisonde and MIR space station in Taiwan area was carried out
(Pulinets et al. 2001)
55
Ionosphere-Atmosphere-Lithosphere Coupling
The seismo-ionosphere precursors for the Chi-Chi earthquake are observed in ionosonde
data (Liu et al., 2000a) and GPS TEC (Liu et al., 2001) for the recent strong earthquakes (Chuo et
al., 2001a; Chuo et al., 2001b; Chuo et al., 2002; Liu 2002c). The seismo-geomagnetic
precursors also observed (Akinaga et al., 2001; Zeng et al., 2002).

COMMISION H: WAVES IN PLASMA
Prepared by Lou-Chuang Lee
1. A New Mechanism for Solar Coronal Heating
The temperature of solar surface (photosphere) is about 6000 K, while the corona (solar
atmosphere) temperature is about 3106 °K. The heating mechanism of solar corona is an
unsolved problem for 40 years. Recent spectroscopic measurements from the Ultraviolet
Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS) instrument onboard the Solar and Heliosphere Observatory
(SOHO) further provided a very important information and stringent constrains on coronal
heating process. SOHO observations indicated that (1) the temperature of protons (H+) is 3106
°K, while the temperature of O5+ ions is 2108 °K, (2) the thermal temperature in the direction
perpendicular to the local magnetic field is much larger than the parallel temperature for O5+ ions
(T/T||  50 for O5+ ions and T/T||  1.2 for protons), and (3) the outflow speed of O5+ ions is
twice the proton outflow speed. All conventional coronal heating mechanisms cannot explain the
observed properties by SOHO. Recently, Professor Lee proposed a new coronal heating
mechanism, in which the protons and O5+ ions are heated and accelerated by fast magnetosonic
shocks. These shocks are generated by magnetic reconnection between network magnetic fields
and emerging intranetwork fields. Professor Lee showed that the heating and acceleration of
protons and O5+ ions by fast shocks can indeed reproduce the three features observed by SOHO
satellite. [Lee and Wu, 2000]
2. Generation of Kinetic Alfvén Waves by Mirror Instability
The perturbed velocity V and B of mirror waves are usually coplanar with the wave
vector k and background magnetic field B0. However, recent satellite observations and hybrid
simulations show the presence of extra non-coplanar components in V and B associated with
mirror waves. In this paper, we show from hybrid simulations that in the nonlinear stage of
mirror instability, the non-coplanar perturbations in V and B of high wavenumber modes can
be decoupled from mirror waves and generate a pair of kinetic Alfvén waves propagating in
61
opposite direction. The Hall effect can explain the excitation of non-coplanar components in
mirror waves. These kinetic Alfvén waves can be generated in the dayside magnetosheath,
propagate tailward along the magnetic field lines draped around the magnetopause, and
contribute to the plasma transport across magnetosphere. [Wu and Lee , 2001]
3. Hall Effects on the Generation of Field-aligned Currents in Three-dimensional
Reconnection
A three-dimensional Hall-MHD simulation is carried out to study the Hall effects on the
generation of field-aligned currents (FACs) and Alfvén waves by magnetic reconnection. The
magnetic field is initially set up with an antiparallel component (Bz) with respect to the plane x =
0. The initial current flows in the y direction. Several interesting features emerge due to the
inclusion of Hall term in MHD equation. In Hall-MHD, the magnetic field lines are frozen in the
electron fluid, but not in the ion fluid. In the presence of Hall term a strong electron velocity in
the y direction is usually present in the region with a high current density J in the y direction. As
a result, the reconnected magnetic field lines are bent and also shifted in the y direction.
Generated FACs break the dawn-dusk symmetry and the region of generated FACs tends to shift
to the side with y < 0. The magnitude of generated FACs increases with increasing ion inertial
length. We examine the Walén relation for generated FACs and Alfvén waves. The ion and
electron Walen relations are found to be diffrent. It is also found that Alfvén waves have a
right-hand polarization or left-hand polarization depending on the following direction of
field-aligned current. [Ma and Lee, 2001]
4. A Study of Secondary Waves Generated by Wave-Wave Interaction in a Wind Field
Propagation of an atmospheric gravity wave (AGW) in a wind field is studied by
numerical simulation. Two models are applied: the first is a linear model to check with the
gravity wave theory; the second is a quasi-nonlinear model to study the characteristics of the
secondary waves produced by the interactions between two gravity wave packets. The
magnitudes and directions of the vertical phase and group velocities obtained by linear
simulation are consistent with the prediction of linear gravity wave theory. That is, the vertical
propagation velocities of the phase and the energy of an AGW are always opposite to each other.
In the quasi-nonlinear model, two primary waves are forced to oscillate at the ground level with
their group velocities upward and phase velocities downward, which creates two secondary
waves by the interaction between the primary waves. The smaller one is found to have group
62
velocity upward and phase velocities downward always, while its phase velocity is upward when
the primary waves in the source region are still oscillating and becomes downward after the
primary waves stop oscillation. The result revels that the smaller one is a production of a
resonant interaction; while the larger one is the production of a non-resonant interaction. [Kuo et
al., 1999]
5. Numerical Simulation of Wave Propagation in Crystallized Plasmas: One Dimensional
Model
A numerical code has been developed to study the wave propagation in crystallized dusty
plasmas. In the one-dimension model, we model a very lone system by a finite number of dusty
particles with the periodic boundary condition. Each simulation is characterized by , the ratio of
the inter-particle separation at equilibrium over the Debye length, and , the ratio of the
characteristic inter-particle Coulomb potential energy over the thermal energy of the particles.
Viscosity, finite-size effect and the thermal motion are ignored. Some interesting results have
emerged from the systematic simulations. We further observe that solitary-wave-like propagation
will appear when only the nearest neighbor force is effective. As the inter-particle separation
becomes smaller, more inter-particle forces other than the nearest neighbor force become
effective, resulting in the widening of the difference between the phase velocities of low and high
frequency waves. Therefore, this solitary-wave-like behavior does not appear in the wave
propagation for small particle separation. [Kuo, 2000]
6. Simulation of Spectral Asymmetries of Pure Two-Stream Waves in the Equatorial
Electrojet
The nonlinear quasi-steady state of the Farley-Buneman two-stream wave observed in the
E region ionosphere at altitudes in the range of 95-110 km is studied by numerical simulation.
The behavior of this two-stream wave in the plane perpendicular to the Earth’s magnetic field is
simulated with a two-dimensional two-fluid code in which the electron inertia is neglected while
the ion inertia is retained. The simulation result of up-down asymmetry for the 3-meter wave is
consistent with the radar observations. From the simulations, we conclude that the background
polarization electric field driving the electrojet is responsible for the spectral asymmetries. [Fern
et al., 2001]

COMMISSION J: RADIO ASTRONOMY
Prepared by Kwok-Yung Lo
Radio Astronomy has developed very rapidly in Taiwan in the last three years (1999 – 2001).
The most significant milestone include: the shipping of two sub-millimeter-wave telescopes
(Raffin et al, 2000), complete with electronics and receiver systems constructed in Taiwan (Chen
et al 2000, Chin, et al 2001), to Mauna Kea in Hawaii, to join the Sub-Millimeter Array (SMA), a
partnership between the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in the US and the Institute of
Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA) of the Academia Sinica located in Taipei, Taiwan.
Another important radio astronomy project that started in late 1999 is the Array for Microwave
Background Anisotropy (AMiBA), an international collaboration headed by the ASIAA, with the
National Taiwan University, the Australia Telescope National Facility, and a number of
institutions in Canada and the US (Lo et al 2000, 2000a, 2001). Another indicator of the
development is that the publication list below includes 119 entries in this three-year period.
