The conformal array sensor has different sub-array depending on different beam steering directions. According to the method to effective the sensor, the performance of the conformal array sensor can be different, where the sub-array selects an effective sensor. Also, due to the figure of the conformal array sensor, the figure of the sub-array can be different each other, which results in different performance on directivity index, beam width and etc. In this paper, two methods to select sub-array which is the criteria for each sensors position vector and directive vector were proposed. For two sub-array selection methods, the performance of the directivity index, horizontal and vertical beam width were compared with the average and variance. In addition, this comparison was conducted when the number of sensors was fixed. When the number of sensors was not fixed, the directional vector method mainly results in high performance, but the performance of vertical beam width was lower or equal. When the number of sensors was fixed, the performance of two methods is similar, but the performance of variance was deteriorated.

포항가속기 연구소의 선형가속기에는 22개의 솔레노이드 전자석, 16개의 사극전자석 그리고 전자빔의 궤도 조절을 위한 16개의 2극 전자석이 있다. 선형가속기의 빔을 저장링으로 공급해주는 빔 전송선에는 22개의 사극전자석과 13개의 빔 궤도 조절용 이극 전자석이 있다. 전자빔의 정밀 제어를 위하여 전자석의 전원장치는 출력전류 분해능은 16bit 이상이고 출력전류의 안정도는 최대출력에 대하여 ${\pm}50ppm$ 이하의 고정밀 고안정도가 요구된다. 이를 위하여 풀-브릿지 4상한 DC/DC 컨버터를 이용한 전자석전원장치를 개발 하였다. 전원장치의 입력전압 직류 40V이고 출력전류는 단방향 전원장치는 최대 50A/50V 이고 양방향 전원장치는 ${\pm}20A/20V$이다. 스위칭 주파수는 50 kHz이다. 전원장치의 출력부에 필터가 없으면 출력전류에는 스윗칭과 관련된 주파수 성분이 포함 되고 전자빔은 이들 주파수 성분에 대하여 영향을 받게 된다. 이러한 이유로 출력 필터의 cut-off 주파수는 5 kHz 이하가 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 고정밀 고안정 스윗칭 전자석전원장치를 위한 출력필터의 설계, 제작 그리고 이를 적용한 전자석전원장치에 대하여 논의 하고자 한다.

최근에 cdma2000-lx 시스템의 역방향에 파일럿 채널이 추가되면서 적은 계산량으로 구현이 가능한 LMS 빔 형성 기법이 연구되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 LMS 빔 형성 방식의 경우 무선 페이딩 채널에 적응하기 위하여 고정된 step-sire parameter를 이용하였다. 하지만 이러한 고정된 step-size parameter를 사용할 경우 MSE가 증가하여 좋은 성능을 얻을 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 LMS 순 방향 빔 형성 기법에서 채널을 추정하여 추정된 채널과 LMS 가중치의 오차에 적응하는 step-size parameter를 결정함으로써 적은 MSE만으로 가중치 값을 추정하는 CA-LMS(Channel Adaptive Least Mean Square) 방식을 이용한 순방향 빔 형성 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 방식에 대하여 cdma2000-lx 환경에서 다양한 페이딩 환경에 적용하여 제안한 방식이 우수함을 확인 할 수 있다.

Single towed line array receiver contains an ambiguity on conjugate bearings because of lacking aperture in transverse direction. To solve the left/right bearing ambiguity of line array receiver this paper proposed using single line array with fixed cardioid beam. Fixed cardioid beam has problem about back beam gain exists for steering beam inherent. Back beam is makes form on direction that is different from actually source so that reduced the performance of left/right bearing discrimination. In this paper, line way with adaptive cardioid beam for resolve problem of back beam gain is proposed. So the proposed method has more improved left/right bearing discrimination than fixed cardioid beam, Simulation results show the performance of the proposed method.

This paper presents a multi-functional microstrip spital antenna that operates in dual frequency bands. Several types of beam shape can be selected by controlling the phase difference of two spiral arms with the phase shifters located on each feed line. It has a normal beam at the lower frequency band, and four different patterns at the higher frequency band: normal beam, conical beam and two types of tilted beam. The antenna exhibits more than 10% of bandwidth at each band. The antenna is fabricated with conductor backed electromagnetic absorber in order to attain unidirectional radiation pattern and confirmed the multi-functionality by measurements.

재료의 열확산계수를 비접촉적인 방법으로 구하기 위하여 광열편향법에 대한 3차원 모델을 해석하였다. 이 방법은 가열빔이 재료에 광학적으로 흡수될 때 검사빔의 초기궤적이 시편과 시편주의 매질의 온도상승으로 인하여 나타나는 굴절지수의 구배에 의하여 검사빔이 편향되는 원리를 이용하는 것이다. 기존의 연구에서는 주로 가열빔과 검사빔의 상대거리를 변화시키면서 편향의 위상각을 측정하여 열확산계수를 결정하였다. 하지만 본 연구에서는 고정된 상대거리에서 가열빔의 변조주파수를 변화시키면서 편향의 위상각을 계산하여 열확산계수를 구할 수 있는 관계식을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 열확산계수 결정 방법은 다른 방법에 비하여 실험과 해석이 간단하고 비교적 측정하기가 어려운 상대거리에 영향을 받지 않는 방법이다.

Purpose : BoS(Base of Skull) Frame, the fixation tool which is used for the proton of brain cancer increases the lateral penumbra by increasing the airgap (the distance between patient and beam jet), due to the collision of the beam of the posterior oblique direction. Thus, we manufactured the fixation tool per se for improving the limits of BoS frame, and we'd like to evaluate the utility of the manufactured fixation tool throughout this study. Materials and Methods : We've selected the 3 patients of brain cancer who have received the proton therapy from our hospital, and also selected the 6 beam angles; for this, we've selected the beam angle of the posterior oblique direction. We' ve measured the planned BoS frame and the distance of Snout for each beam which are planned for the treatment of the patient using the BoS frame. After this, we've proceeded with the set-up that is above the location which was recommended by the manufacturer of the BoS frame, at the same beam angle of the same patient, by using our in-house Bos frame fixation tool. The set-up was above 21 cm toward the superior direction, compared to the situation when the BoS frame was only used with the basic couch. After that, we've stacked the snout to the BoS frame as much as possible, and measured the distance of snout. We've also measured the airgap, based on the gap of that snout distance; and we've proceeded the normalization based on each dose (100% of each dose), after that, we've conducted the comparative analysis of lateral penumbra. Moreover, we've established the treatment plan according to the changed airgap which has been transformed to the Raystation 5.0 proton therapy planning system, and we've conducted the comparative analysis of DVH(Dose Volume Histogram). Results : When comparing the result before using the in-house Bos frame fixation tool which was manufactured for each beam angle with the result after using the fixation tool, we could figure out that airgap than when not used in accordance with the use of the in-house Bos frame fixation tool was reduced by 5.4 cm ~ 15.4 cm, respectively angle. The reduced snout distance means the airgap. Lateral Penumbra could reduce left, right, 0.1 cm ~ 0.4 cm by an angle in accordance with decreasing the airgap while using each beam angle in-house Bos frame fixation tool. Due to the reduced lateral penumbra, Lt.eyeball, Lt.lens, Lt. hippocampus, Lt. cochlea, Rt. eyeball, Rt. lens, Rt. cochlea, Rt. hippocampus, stem that can be seen that the dose is decreased by 0 CGE ~ 4.4 CGE. Conclusion : It was possible to reduced the airgap by using our in-house Bos frame fixation tool for the proton therapy; as a result, it was possible to figure out that the lateral penumbra reduced. Moreover, it was also possible to check through the comparative analysis of the treatment plan that when we reduce the lateral penumbra, the reduction of the unnecessary irradiation for the normal tissues. Therefore, Using the posterior oblique the Brain cancer proton therapy should be preceded by decreasing the airgap, by using our in-house Bos frame fixation tool; also, the continuous efforts for reducing the airgap as much as possible for the proton therapy of other area will be necessary as well.

In this paper, the use of an antenna array is considered for code timing acquisition of DS-CDMA signals. The probabilities of acquisition are evaluated by applying multiple narrow fixed-beams to the conventional MUSIC acquisition approach in the multiuser environment on the time-varying Rayleigh fading channel. Each fixed-beam for spatial filtering is dedicated to an individual angular sector that is formed by dividing the entire angular domain by the number of antenna elements. The fixed-beams with a capability of interference suppression provide the additional degrees of freedom,. Hence, the multibeam-based MUSIC estimator can be used to synchronize to more users than the conventional MUSIC algorithm for one antenna. The multibeam-based subspace method is evaluated to significantly improve the performance of a single antenna based MUSIC technique in multiuser scenarios.
