Product array approach which is used in the Taguchi parameter design has a number of advantages by considering the noise factor. However, a disadvantage of this method is that it requires an excessively large number of experiments. So combined array approach have been proposed to reduce the number of experiments. Taguchi has used the signal-to-noise ratio to find the optimum conditions in the Taguchi parameter design. In analyzing the data from the parameter design various problems tends occur by using an SN. In this paper, we propose an alternative solution for reducing the number of experiments without depending on the signal-to-noise ratio to overcome the shortcomings of the parameter design. Two examples illustrate this procedure in the two different experimental design (product array, combined array) approaches.

Robust design is an approach to reducing performance variation of quality characteristic values in quality engineering. Taguchi parameter design has a great deal of advantages but it also has some disadvantages. The various research efforts aimed at developing alternative methods. In the Taguchi parameter design, the product-array approach using orthogonal arrays is mainly used. However, it often requires an excessive number of experiments. An alternative approach, which is called the combined-array approach, was suggested by Welch et. al. (1990) and studied by others. In this paper we make a comparative study on optimization procedures to robust design in the two different experimental design(product array, combined array) approaches the Mough the Monte Carlo simulation.

This study analysis traffic phase order alternatives to maximize throughput. According to theoretical analysis alternative2(EW: left turn after through, NS: through after left turn) and alternative5(EW: through after left turn, NS: left turn after through) can minimize the maximum delay. Both alternatives split the phase that have the same destination link under the whole cycle length. This shows that phase order alternative can effect to the fully saturated intersection. In side of simulation analysis by microscopic traffic simulator PTV VISSIM F 7.0, each phase order alternatives can't effect throughput under the non saturated condition. However under the saturated condition, the average controlled delay of the intersection has been changed by phase order alternatives. The simulation analysis shows that alternative2 and alternative5 increase throughput 3.8% to 5.1% under the saturated condition.

In this paper, a multi-layered metallic disk array structure(MDAS) excited by cross-dipole elements was proposed for efficiently shaping of flat-topped element patterns(FTEP) with circular polarization. The MDAS excited by cross-dipole elements has advantages to decrease in volume and weight of an overall array antenna and so, it is appropriate for the FTEP applications of a ralativlely low frequency band. In order to verify the effectness of this structure, the MDAS breadboard operated at X-band(7.9 ∼ 8.4 GHz) was fabricated, and its design parameters were experimentally optimized on the basis of the previous design experience. The experimental results were shown that the MDAS could shape good FTEPs of ${\pm}$20$^{\circ}$beam width at least within a 6.1 % frequency band.

In this paper we propose an opposite-sign phase method to implement a nulling antenna using genetic algorithm. In the opposite-sign phase method the phase value of each antenna element in the linear phased array antenna is symmetrical to the center of the array and the sign of the phases of the neighboring elements is alternating. Compared to the conventional genetic algorithm our genetic algorithm shows the capability of synthesizing nulls faster and sharper.

Robust parameter design is an off-line production technique for reducing variation and improving the quality of products and processes by using product arrays. However, the use of the product arrays usually requires a large number of runs. To overcome the drawback of the product array, the combined array can be used. Also optimizing multiple responses is increasingly important in industry. Using simultaneous optimization measures, we can deal with the multiple response case. In this paper we compare the simultaneous optimization using the Taguchi's product array with using the combined array. And models possible to set on combined arrays are also investigated and compared with the cases of product arrays.

The LHCP circularly polarized antenna operating at the satellite broadcast receiving band is developed by employing the sequential-rotation technique in which each truncated-corner patch square element is arranged in the triangular lattice type. Antenna designed with sequentially rotated technique of triangular lattice type has the effect of improved axial-ratio bandwidth, cross-polarization etc., and the degradation of radiation pattern can be reduced significantly by minimizing the radiation loss of feeding line structure. Characteristics of antenna designed is satisfied with specifications of array antenna for DBS that is -27 dB of side lobe level and -20 dB of cross-polarized level at $\Phi$=45$^{\circ}$ plane.

In this paper, we propose DLP(Dual Linear Polarization) array antenna for 3.5 GHz band. The proposed antenna has 1×4 array antenna and design two port network. A cross shape is inserted at the bottom of the patch for impedance matching. The size of each patch antenna is 18.85 mm(W1)×18.85 mm(L1), array antenna is designed on the FR-4 substrate, which is 236.0 mm(W)×60.2 mm(L), thickness (h) 1.6 mm, and the dielectric constant is 4.3. From the fabrication and measurement results, bandwidths of 70 MHz (3.54 to 3.61 GHz) for input port 1, 75 MHz (3.55 to 3.625 GHz) for input port 2 are obtained on the basis of -10 dB return loss and transmission coefficient S21 is under the -20 dB. Also, cross polarization between two port obtained.

In this paper, a non-offset longitudinal shunt slot excited by an asymmetry compound iris on the broad wall of a rectangular waveguide is presented as an element for a waveguide slot-array antenna(WSAA). By properly adjusting the iris dimension, a resonance of the slot at a desired frequency can be achieved. The proposed resonant slot has some advantageous properties, such as a wide range of normalized resonant conductance, and minimum change of phase in the waveguide at the resonance. In addition, when the slots are arrayed for a waveguide slot antenna, the unwanted cross-polarization level can be reduced because each slot is placed in a straight line. A $8{\times}1$ WSAA with -20 dB side-lobe level(SLL) is designed, fabricated, and tested experimentally. The measured results are well agreed with the simulated ones and have an SLL of -18.13 dB and a cross-polarization level of -48.85 dB at 9.41 GHz, which was improved by about 15 dB of that of the conventional longitudinal slot array antenna.

In order to control waves in coastal zones effectively, multi-cylinder piles as the economical structures are suggested. A three dimensional hydraulic model experiment was performed to investigate the hydraulic characteristics of the structure. An experimental study was carried out research the effect of wave control and harbor tranquility through the wave height analysis for the existing concrete wave breaker and the structure with acrylic multi-cylinder piles type at the same location. In the results, the effective order of harbor tranquility is shown as the wave breaker > the staggered arrangement of multi-cylinder piles > the regular arrangement of multi-cylinder piles.
