홀 방식 이온빔 소스는 방전 채널 내부에 중성기체 및 전자를 주입하여 플라즈마를 생성하며, 생성된 이온들은 자기장에 의해 구속된 전자들과 양극이 만드는 전기장에 의해 가속되어 이온 빔을 발생시킨다. 홀 방식 이온빔 소스에는 고리형 소스와 원통형 소스가 있으며, 기하학적 구조 및 자기장 구조가 달라 발생되는 이온전류, 가속효율, 연료효율, 이온화 비율 등 플라즈마 특성이 다르다. 특히, 플라즈마의 이온화 비율은 이온빔 소스의 방전 전류 및 연료효율에 영향을 미치며, 다중전하를 띤 이온의 높은 에너지는 채널벽의 침식 문제를 야기하는 등 이온빔의 전하량 분석 연구는 물리적 연구측면 뿐만 아니라 실용적인 측면에서도 매우 중요하다. 원통형 소스의 경우 연료효율이 100% 이상으로, 이온화 효율이 매우 높아 발생되는 이온의 가속효율도 높게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는, 이를 통해 다중이온을 진단할 수 있는 ExB 탐침을 개발하여, 다중이온의 생성 비율과 연료 효율과의 관계를 살펴보았다. 이온전위지연 탐침과 패러데이 탐침을 이용하여 채널 및 자기장 구조에 따른 전류 분포 및 이온에너지분포를 측정하였으며, 이온 빔의 효율 및 플라즈마 특성을 분석하였다.

Purpose: This aim of this study is to analyze the dosimetric difference between intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) using 3 or 5 beams and MSF in the radiotherapy of the left breast. Materials and Methods: We performed a comparative analysis of two radiotherapy modalities that can achieve improved dose homogeneity. First is the multistatic fields technique that simultaneously uses both major and minor irradiation fields. The other is IMRT, which employs 3 or 5 beams using a fixed multileaf collimator. We designed treatment plans for 16 early left breast cancer patients who had taken breast conservation surgery and radiotherapy, and analyzed them from a dosimetric standpoint. Results: For the mean values of $V_{95}$ and dose homogeneity index, no statistically significant difference was observed among the three therapies. Extreme hot spots receiving over 110% of the prescribed dose were not found in any of the three methods. A Tukey test performed on IMRT showed a significantly larger increase in exposure dose to the ipsilateral lung and heart than multistatic fields technique (MSF) in the low-dose area, but in the high-dose area, MSF showed a slight increase. Conclusion: In order to improve dose homogeneity, the application of MSF, which can be easily planned and applied more widely, is considered an optimal alternative to IMRT for radiotherapy of early left breast cancer.

Bathymetry survey around the Baengnyeong-do was made by the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Administration (KHOA), using the Simrad EM3000 Multi-Beam EchoSounder (MBES) mounted at the hull of the R/V Badaro 1. Sound velocity were monitored with frequent sound velocity profiler(SVP) casts during the acoustic measurements. The depth distribution and fluctuation of thermocline varied locally owing to the effect of several current flows such as Kuroshio current and Yellow sea coastal waters. These uncertainties cause the falling-off in accuracy of MBES results. In this paper, the bathymetry results will be presented and their accuracy will be discussed along with comparisons to the time and spatial variations in sound velocity profile.

This paper presents the study on multi-beam large aperture antenna systems for a satellite payload. Multi-beam large antenna provides the universal communication and broadcasting services to personal portable terminals. The hybrid antenna composed of a large reflector and a feed array forms multi-beams. The feed cluster consists of a group of feed elements and each element should be optimized for the appropriate amplitude and phase. The optimization progress for amplitude and phase was performed by GO (Geometrical Optics) and PO (Physical Optics) method. The number of feed elements as well as the power level per element were also optimized to meet the required EIRP (Effective Isotropically Radiated Power). In conclusion, 30m-class reflector and twenty five elements for fifteen beams over Korean Peninsula were designed through the optimization process.

The multibeam surveillance radar is a state-of art of 3D radar technology. It applies the stacked beam-on-received realized by a digital beamformer. In this paper, a design concept of beamformer and a method of target altitude extraction for multibeam surveillance radar in the normal environmental condition considering no multipath situations are proposed and investigated. The extraction algorithm based on antenna sine space coordinated system in a FFT digital beamformer is described. The proposed algorithm is simulated by 1 look-up table data and confirmed to have consistent results in accordance with a variety of target altitudes and a full radar frequency range.

시공간 빔포밍 기술은 기존의 배열 안테나가 공간만의 처리를 해온 것에 대하여 이를 시간 영역으로까지 확장하여 특정한 방향에서 특정한 시간에 도착하는 다중경로는 증폭하고 다른 다중경로는 제거하는 것을 의미한다. 본 논문은 배열 안테나를 가진 DS-CDMA에서 시스템 파라미터 부정합이 존재할 때, 시공간 빔 형성기의 성능에 대하여 연구하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 부정합이 존재할 때 전통적인 빔포머가 상대적으로 강인함을 보였지만 원근 문제는 해결할 수 없었으며, 실제의 추정 결과를 적용했을 때는 MUSIC 시공간 빔포머가 가장 우수한 성능을 보였다.

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the future battlefield will carry out multi-area operations with hyper-connected, high-speed and mobile systems. In order to prepare for changes in the future, the Korean military intends to develop various weapons systems and form a multi-layer tactical network to support On The Move communication. However, current tactical networks are limited in support of On The Move communications. In other words, the operation of multi-beam antennas is necessary to efficiently construct a multi-layer tactical network in future warfare. Therefore, in this paper, we look at the need for multi-beam antennas through the operational scenario of a multi-layer tactical network. In addition, based on development consideration factors, features of rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft, we present the location and operation of airborne relay drone installations of multi-beam antennas.

최근 수심측량 기술의 발달로 싱글빔 수심측량기에서 정밀 다중빔 음향측심기로 진보되었으며, 이 장비를 통하여 취득된 데이터의 정확도를 확보하기 위한 연구가 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 수심측량 정확도는 장비의 성능 및 S/W에 의한 Calibration의 검증만 수행되고 있을 뿐, 절대측량성과에 의한 정량적인 정확도평가가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 정확도가 검증된 수위계를 이용하여 취득된 데이터의 수심별 오차를 규명하고 IHO의 수심 허용오차와 비교하여 정확도를 평가하였다. 정확도 평가 결과, 성과는 수심이 깊은 지역일수록 오차가 크게 발생하며, 수심이 낮아질수록 오차가 감소함을 알 수 있다. 또한 수위계를 이용한 성과검증시 발생된 수심별 오차를 다중빔음향측심기에서 취득된 성과에 대하여 재보정을 수행함으로 정확도 높은 성과를 취득할 수 있다.

In this paper, we investigate a multi-beam satellite communication system where multiple terminals transmit information signals to the gateway via a satellite. The satellite is equipped with phased array antennas to form multiple spot beams of which bandwidths are not identically allocated. We formulate an optimization problem to maximize fairness of beam bandwidth allocation. In order to solve the problem, we propose two heuristic algorithms; iterative beam bandwidth allocation (IBBA) and request ratio-based beam bandwidth allocation (RRBBA) algorithms. The IBBA algorithm iteratively equalizes the ratio of allocated bandwidth of each beam to their resource request while the RRBBA algorithm allocates beam bandwidth calculated from the ratio. Simulation results show that the IBBA algorithm has close fairness performance to the optimum while the RRBBA algorithm has less performance than the IBBA algorithm at the price of reduced computational complexity.
