위성통신시스템에서의 10GHz이상의 Ku 또는 Ka 대역은 수십 dB의 크기를 갖는 강우에 의한 감쇠 현상이 심각하여 이러한 감쇠는 위성 링크의 심각한 성능 정하를 가져온다. 본 논문은 위성통신 링크 상에서의 강우 감쇠 보상을 위한 알고리즘을 제시하고, Ku 대역의 강우 감쇠 데이터를 사용한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 그 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 예측 기법 측면에서, 적응형 알고리즘을 적용한 기법과 신호 레벨 변화량에 근거한 예측 기법은 거의 동일한 예측 오차를 보였고, 따라서, 급속한 신호레벨 변화에 적응성을 요하지 않은 강우 감쇠 예측의 경우, 알고리즘 측면에서 비교적 간단한 예측 기법으로도 충분한 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 제시된 전송 방식 결정 알고리즘은 기존의 임계값 기반 알고리즘에 비해 품질 저하율이 0.6%에서 0.01% 이하로 감소하였고, 거의 동일한 전송 효율을 가지면서 약 5배의 적은 전송 방식 전환을 요구한다.

A broadband, DC to 40 GHz 5-bit MMIC digital attenuator has been developed. The ultra broadband attenuator has been achieved by adding transmission lines in the conventional Switched-T attenuator and optimizing the transmission line parameters. Momentum simulation was performed in design for accurate performance prediction at high frequencies and Monte Carlo analysis was applied to verify the performance stability against the MMIC process variation. The attenuator has been fabricated with $0.15\;{\mu}m$ GaAs pHEMT process. This attenuator has 1 dB resolution and 23 dB dynamic ranges. High attenuation accuracy has been achieved over all attenuation ranges and 40 GHz bandwidth with the reference state insertion loss of less than 6 dB at 20 GHz. The input and output return losses of the attenuator are better than 14 dB over all attenuation states and frequencies. The measured IIP3 of the attenuator is 33 dBm.

This paper is a study on the evaluation of loss factor of damping treatment materials to reduce the noise and vibration for panels of railway vehicles and automobiles. In order to determine the modal parameters of damping materials, beam excitation tests were carried out using different type PVC coated aluminum and steel base beam specimens. The specimens were excited from 10 Hz to 1000 Hz frequency range using sinusoidal force, and transfer mobility data were measured by using an accelerometer. The loss factors were determined by using integrated program, based on theories of Half Power Method, Minimum Tangent Error Method, Minimum Angle Error Method and Phase Change Method, which enable to evaluate the parameters using modal circle fit and least squares error method. In the case of lower loss factor and data of linear characteristics, any method could be applied for evaluation of parameters, however the case of higher loss factor or data including non-linear characteristics, the minimum angle error method could reduce the loss factor evaluation. The obtained dynamic properties of the coating material could be used for application of Finite Element Method analyzing the noise control effects of complex structures such as carbody or under-floor boxes of rolling stock. The damping material will be very useful to control the structural noise, because the obtained modal loss factors of each mode show very good effect on over $2^{nd}$ mode frequency range.

도심지 굴착과 같은 환경적 제약과 사회적 문제가 존재하는 현장에 대하여. 암반제거작업에 있어서 가장 경제적이고 효율적인 발파공법을 적용하기 위해서, 본 연구는 기존의 발파방진기술인 Line Drilling과 Presplitting의 상점을 살리면서, 단점을 보안한 새로운 발파방진 기술인 NPS(New Presplitting)발파법의 효과에 대하여 연구하였다. NPS 발파법의 분석은 안산암과 화강암, 화강편마암의 3종류의 암반을 대상으로 NPS 발파법의 열수를 1열, 2열, 3열, 4열을 적용하여 발파로 인한 진동을 NPS 발파법의 적용전과 후의 발파진동값을 기준으로 NPS 발파법의 전, 후 진동감쇠 효과를 비교하고, 동일 조건을 가정한 경제성을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 NPS 발파법의 3가지 암석에 대한 현장적용 결과 암종에 따른 NPS 발파공법의 진동감쇠효과의 변화보다, NPS 발파법의 적용 pattern에 대한 진동감쇠효과의 변화가 크게 나타났으며 NPS 발파공열이 2열일 때 감쇠범위는 40％∼80％로 가장 효율적으로 나타났으며 3열과 4열의 경우에도 진동감쇠효과는 있으나 그 효율이 크게 향상되지 않을 뿐 아니라 2열에 비하여 경제적으로 불리함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 NPS 발파법은 보안물과의 거리가 가까울수록 더 경제성이 큰 것으로 분석되었다.

In this paper, we propose an optimal path search algorithm that applies the received signal strength between a mobile device and a satellite. Because the common path search algorithm is only based on the shortest path search, it is difficult to provide stable multimedia services for the satellite mobile devices. The proposed algorithm provides the stable communication environment for the satellite mobile devices based on received signal strength. In Satellite communications, changes in the radio quality are severe depending on the receiving environment. Therefore, an accurate analysis of the receiving environment characteristics is very important for providing stable multimedia services of satellite communications. The causes of radio attenuation are atmosphere attenuation, vegetation attenuation and buildings attenuation. These factors were applied to analyze the received signal strength. The proposed algorithm can search the optimal path in urban for stable satellite multimedia services.

Passive noise reduction is a classical approach to attenuate industrial noise, and an active noise cancellation has several advantages over the passive noise cancellation. The active noise reduction system offers a better low frequency performance with a smaller and lighter system. This paper presents a simple active closed loop control system which consists of an controller for inverting and compensating the phase delay, a microphone for picking up the external noise, and a loudspeaker for radiating the acoustic out of phase signal to reduce the external noise, and external noise can be reduced after compensating the phase difference to be $180^{\circ}$ in the frequency of maximum value in the amplitude response. The noise of the phase delay covered from $50^{\circ}\;to\;310^{\circ}$ tends to be reduced in the active noise control system and it is possible to obtain a noise cancelling of up to approximately 20[dB] at the ears in the enclosurer.

To realize the tap coefficient of a finite impulse response(FIR) filter or the twiddle factor of a fast Fourier transform(FFT) using a current-mode analog circuit, a high accurate current-attenuator circuit is needed This paper introduces an accuracy enhancement technique in the current-mode signal processing. First of all, the DC of set-current error in a conventional current-attenuator using a gate-ratioed orient mirror circuit is analyzed and then, the current-attenuator circuit with a negligibly small DC offset-current error is introduced. The circuit consists of N-output current mirrors connected in parallel with me another. The output current of the circuit is attenuated to 1/N of the input current. On the basis of the Kirchhoff current law, the current scale ratio is determined simply by the number of the current mirrors in the N-current mirrors connected in parallel. In the proposed current-attenuator circuit the scale accuracy is limited by the ac gain error of the current mirror. Considering that a current mirror has a negligibly small ac gain error, the attainable maximum scale accuracy is theoretically -80[dB] to the input current.

Signal fading due to rain is one of the most significant factors degrading link quality in satellite communication systems. Adaptive transmission is considered to be the most efficient means to countermeasure the rain attenuation. In order to develop and design a good adaptive transmission system, we need a dynamic rain attenuation model which can synthesize time series of rain attenuation. In this paper, we present a modeling technique for dynamic rain attenuation using a Markov process. We derive statistical fading properties of the rain attenuation data measured in second time interval and define four states in the Markov process. We synthesize the rain attenuation data using the 4-state Markov process, and compare statistical properties of the simulated data to those of the measured data.

The damping parameter of Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm switches between error backpropagation and Gauss-Newton learning and affects learning speed. Fixing the damping parameter induces some oscillation of error and decreases learning speed. Therefore, we propose the way of a variable damping parameter with referring to the alternation of error. The proposed method makes the damping parameter increase if error rate is large and makes it decrease if error rate is small. This method so plays the role of momentum that it can improve learning speed. We tested both iris recognition and wine recognition for this paper. We found out that this method improved learning speed in 67% cases on iris recognition and in 78% cases on wine recognition. It was also showed that the oscillation of error by the proposed way was less than those of other algorithms.
