This paper presents the applicability of MIMO joint decoding to dual-contact satellite systems in which two LEO satellites using X-band frequency band are transmitting each image data to two ground station antennas, simultaneously. When two satellites are closely positioned within the looking angle of the two antennas, each satellite interferes with each other by the relative antenna gain corresponding to an offset angle and this might cause the performance degradation without interference mitigation. To mitigate the performance degradation, SM MIMO techniques for joint decoding are applied. Especially, the relative antenna gain of ground station depending on the angle difference between two satellites in ground station antenna plays an important role in modelling the dual-contact satellite systems. The condition number of MIMO channel including the antenna gain calculated from the mathematical gain pattern model was primarily analyzed. Simulation results showed that the SM MIMO techniques using detection schemes such as ZF-SIC, MMSE-SIC, and ML can be applicable to dual-contact satellite systems.

In this paper, a multi-band antenna with novel structure for mobile communications is designed and fabricated. The proposed antenna has the Multi-band antenna characteristics by two common-grounded slots with different size and angle. In order to reduce size and to enhance the gain of the antenna, a reflector is consisted of chokes on the three sides. It is optimized by using the CST Microwave Studio commercial software based on the FIA(Finite Integration Algorithm) and PBA(Perfect Boundary Approximation), and then the fabricating and measuring is practiced. As a result of measurement, the reflection coefficient is less than -11 dB(VSWR < 1.8) and the gain of antenna is more than 6dBi at 824~894MHz and 1885-2500MHz.

In this paper, we provide a new approach which optimizes the vertical tilting angle of the base station for multi-cell multiple-input single-output (MISO) downlink active antenna systems (AAS). Instead of the conventional optimal algorithm which requires an exhaustive search, we propose simple and near optimal algorithms. First, we represent a large system approximation based vertical beamforming algorithm which is applied to the average sum rate by using the random matrix theory. Next, we suggest a signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio (SLNR) based vertical beamforming algorithm which simplifies the optimization problem considerably. In the simulation results, we demonstrate that the performance of the proposed algorithms is near close to the exhaustive search algorithm with substantially reduced complexity.

RF skin tracking of instrumentation RADAR cannot acquire stable track data, because of effect of multipath interference especially elevation direction. In this paper, low altitude target tracking method using laser tracking system is suggested to overcome this restriction. The effect of multipath can be reduced by increasing angle resolution with laser characteristics of very short pulse and narrow beamwidth. RF skin track, beacon track and laser track data for the integrated calibration target on the ground and target ship on the sea are gathered. And they are compared and analyzed to confirm the performance of laser tracking system. As a result, it shows that the suggested laser track method has better performance than RF skin track under multipath conditions.

Multipass Ti:sapphire amplifier for the light source of lidar was developed in an angular-multiplexing, and the characteristics of output energy and spectrum was investigated. In the two-stage multipass amplifier, we obtained the maximum output energy of 42 mJ, the amplification gain of 21 dB and the output efficiency of 26% on the wavelength of 790 nm. In the tuning range of 715~930nm the spectral linewidth is 0.05 $cm^{-1}$ /. The conversion efficiencies of 35% for SHG at 780 m and 13% for THG at 390 nm are obtained respectively. The continuous tunabilities of 240~306 m UV region and 360~460 nm in deep-blue region could be achieved.

Gypsum blocks with sixteen flaws have been prepared and tested in uniaxial compression. Results from these experiments are compared with observations from the same material with two and three flaws. The results indicate that the cracking pattern observed in specimens wish multiple flaws is analogous to the pattern obtained in specimens with two and three flaws such as initiation and propagation of wing, and secondary cracks and coalescence. Wing cracks initiate at an angle with the flaw and propagate in a stable manner towards the direction of maximum compression. Secondary cracks initiate and propagate in a stable manner. As the load is increased, secondary cracks may propagate in an unstable manner and produce coalescence. Two types of secondary cracks are observed: quasi-coplanar, and oblique secondary cracks. Coalescence is produced by the linkage of two flaws: wing and/or secondary cracks. From the sixteen flaws test, four types of coalescence are observed. Observed types of coalescence and initiation stress of wing and secondary crackle depend on flaw geometries, such as spacing, continuity, flaw inclination angle, ligament angle, and steppings.

In this paper, we present a marker detection and recognition method from camera image for a disabled person to interact with a server system which can control appliance of surrounding environment. It converts the camera image to a binary image by using multi-threshold and extracts contours of objects in the binary image. After that, it approximates the contours to a list of line segments. It finds rectangular markers by using geometrical features which are extracted from the approximated line segments. It normalizes the shape of extracted markers into exact squares by using the warping technique. It extracts feature vectors from marker image by using principal component analysis and then recognizes the marker. The proposed marker recognition system is robust for light change by using multi-threshold. Also, it is robust for angular variation of camera by using warping technique and principal component analysis. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves 100% recognition rate at maximum for 21 markers and execution speed of 12 frames/sec.

The bit type holographic data storage is known to have many advantages in instrumentation for its compactness and simplicity, when compared to the 2-D page type holographic data storage. But it requires various multiplexing method for one bit hologram to achieve high storage densities. We propose an optical architecture for bit type holographic data storage which utilizes peristrophic and angular multiplexing simultaneously. Selectivity and characterization are analyzed for the proposed architecture. The possible number of multiplexing(72 bit holograms) and maximum storage densities calculation is confirmed experimentally.

In the development of the liquid rocket engine using the pintle injector, spray characteristics such as spray angle, droplet size, and distribution of the droplets are dominant parameters. Three different kind of multi hole type pintle tip and a continuous type pintle tip were designed. In the case of multi hole pintle tip, SMD result did not have a significant difference depending on the number of holes. In analysis with visualization images, however, the droplets were uniformly distributed as the number of holes increased. Liquid droplets from continuous type pintle tip were finely atomized and dispersed uniformly than those from multi-hole type pintle tip. In addition, the thrust control by adjusting the liquid injection area of the pintle is suitable for the continuous type, which is easier to face-shutoff rather than the multi hole type. The spray angle of each pintle tip according to TMR was measured to derive a specific tendency and corresponding empirical formula.

Unlike geostationary satellite communication systems, low-earth orbit(LEO) satellite communication systems move at relatively high speeds, and the angle with the ground device is not fixed and varies over a wide range. The propagation channel condition between satellites and ground nodes cannot be assumed line of sight(LOS) anymore. This paper analyzes the low-orbit multi-path fading satellite channel model that can occur in LEO satellite communication systems and Doppler frequency transition caused by high-speed maneuvering of LEO satellites and presents effective equalization techniques for OFDM and SC-FDE transmission methods suitable for multi-path frequency selective fading satellite channel models. In addition, this paper compares and analyzes the performance of OFDM and SC-FDE transmission methods in multipath fading LEO satellite channel environment using the proposed equalization techniques through simulations. Simulation results showed that SC-FDE outpeformed OFDM.
