In this paper, a frequency tunable zeroth-order resonant(ZOR) antenna has been implemented. The ZOR characteristics of the proposed antenna is realized by using a composite right-and left-handed(CRLH) transmission line which consists of a rectangular slot on the ground plane of a mushroom structured antenna in order to minimize the antenna size. In addition, the tunable devices are introduced on the slotted ground plane for frequency tuning capability. Depending on the on and off states of the tunable device on the slotted ground plane, a shunt inductance value of the CRLH transmission line is changed and its resonant frequency becomes tunable. From the experimental results, the resonant frequency of the proposed antenna is changed from 4.92 GHz to 2.96 GHz. Additionally, the proposed antenna's size is reduced by 94.24 % compared with the half-wavelength patch antenna.

In this paper, a VCDRO(Voltage Control Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) applied to FMCW(Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave)Radar as stable source is implemented and constructed with a MESFET(Metal-semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) for low noise, a dielectric resonate. of high frequency selectivity, and high Q varator diode to obtain a good phase noise performance and stable sweep characteristics. The designed circuits is simulated thrash harmonic balance simulation technique to provide the optimum performance. The measured result of a fabricated VCDRO shows that output is 2.22㏈m at 12.05GHz, harmonic suppression -30㏈c, phase noise -130㏈c at 100KHz offset, and sweep range of varator diode $\pm$18.7MHz, respectively. This oscillator will be available to FMCW Radar.

The purpose of this study is to design, implement and verify the pre-modulation filter with the variable -3dB cutoff frequency and linear phase response for bandlimiting the allocation of radio frequency bandwidth for PCM/FM transmission. For the design of this required filter, the digital FIR filter, DAC system and tuneable 2nd order LPF have been constructed and simulated according to the attenuation characteristic requirement of the amplitude frequency response by each stage. From these results, we have implemented the filter and verified the analog conversion hardware part which is composed of DAC system and tuneable 2nd order LPF for the interpolation of the discrete sequences. Especially this paper proposes and carries out the verification processes using the tone generator and the calibration procedures for more precise frequency response of the filter.

The transient ground impedance depending on configuration, size, and material of grounding electrodes as well as the shapes of impulse currents, has a significant affect on the performance of the grounding system. This paper presents experimental results in regard to the analysis method of transient ground impedance using the lightning impulse and variable frequency currents. Also a new estimation method to replace the effective surge impedance for transient ground impedance was proposed. The ground electrodes used in this experiment are virtual ground electrodes including both resistance and inductance components, carbon ground electrode with 1[m] length, copper electrode with 9[m] length and counterpoise with 40[m] length. Ground impedances using the proposed method were measured respectively. Comparing with the ground impedance using variable frequency current the conventional ground impedance($Z_1$) calculated from the peak values of impulse voltage and impulse current is observed more correct method for evaluating the performance of ground electrode than the effective surge impedance.

가변 이득 및 차단주파수 특성을 가지는 5차 CMOS Gm-C 필터를 설계하였다. 설계된 필터는 CMOS 차동 트랜스컨덕터들로 구성하였으며 트랜스컨덕터들은 각각 전압 조정에 의하여 트랜스컨덕턴스 값이 변환되도록 설계하였다. 가변 차단주파수 특성은 외부잡음으로 발생할 수 있는 필터 차단주파수의 변형을 보상할 수 있고 한 개의 필터로써 다중대역 수신 단에 적용할 수 있도록 하고자 하였다. HSPICE 시뮬레이션 결과, 1.5MHz$\sim$3.5MHz의 차단주파수의 조정이 가능하였고 이득은 -2.8dB$\sim$2.6dB으로의 조정이 가능하였다.

This paper proposes a variable-Q digital graphic equalizer in which each equalizer filter has different Q-factor depending on the band as well as the gain. The proposed equalizer demonstrates the symmetric frequency response over the audible frequency range. While maintaining the similar level of hardware complexity, the proposed equalizer yields an actual response that is quite close to the desired one, as compared with the conventional equalizers. Also, we investigate how the performance is affected by the center frequencies of the filters.

In this study, research and a demonstration for applying DC distribution systems to ships as an environmental and energy conservation solution in domestic and foreign countries were actively carried out. In order to apply a generator to a DC distribution system, a variable speed engine was used. Both engine speed and fuel consumption were reduced. In this paper, a DC generator for DC distribution was constructed using a diesel generator, a generator controller, a governor, and an AVR. A system configuration method for a generator, power quality test, and the power characteristics of a variable speed generator were analyzed. The voltage (250 - 440 VAC) and frequency (34 - 60 Hz) of the variable speed generator were set to 60 - 100 % of the rated value, and the engine was set to operate from 1100 - 1800 rpm. It was confirmed that the voltage, current, and frequency of the generator output fluctuated in a stable manner according to the power amount when changing the engine speed of the generator according to the load variation.

A variable-state block interference channel model is presented which matches asynchronous multiple-access slow frequency-hopped spread-spectrum systems which suffer from bursts of interference of variable duration. For variable-state block interference channels test pattern techniques combined with interleaving are presented from which the decoder obtain side information about channel states. By examining test patterns the decoder estimates which parts of data blocks are affected by interference and regards the parts of blocks affected by interference as erasures. Since the presence of test patterns reduces the number of bits for data transmission, test patterns are not useful for variable-state block interference channels for small hit probability, It is shown that test patterns increase the capacities of variable-state block interference channels for large hit probability. It is also shown that test patterns provide a almost full side information about channel states for certain values of parameters.

본 논문에서는 충격성 잡음에 강인하기 위한 시변 주파수 추정 기법을 제안하였다 충격성 잡음에 강인하기 위해서는 충격성 잡음에 의한 추정 변수의 동요를 제한하고 추정된 오차가 향후 추정시 영향을 미치는 오차의 전파현상을 제한하여야 한다. 충격성 잡음에 의한 추정오차의 전파를 제한하기 위해서는 망각인자의 도입이 필요함을 증명하였고 보다 효과적으로 사용하기 위해서 가변 망각인자를 도입하였다. 가변 망각인자의 도입으로 충격성 잡음에 의한 오차의 전파를 선택적으로 제한할 수 있으며 충격성 잡음에 의한 추정계수의 변동은 영향함수 측면에서 Huber함수를 이용하여 제한하였다. 제안된 알고리듬은 Huber함수와 가변망각인자의 도입으로 충격성 잡음에 의해 생기는 오차의 크기와 오차의 영향이 전파되는 것을 적응적으로 제한하기 때문에 모의실험을 통해 기존의 칼만 알고리듬보다 나은 성능을 보임을 알 수 있었다.
