The shallow-water environment presents additional challenges arising from the complex interaction patterns of the sound with the sea bed. In order to overcome the difficulties generated by shallow-water propagation, broad-band matched field processing has been employed in an effort to increase robustness by utilizing multiple frequency information. In this paper, a coherent broad-band matched field processor is introduced that incorporates the spatial coherence of the acoustic field not only over one frequency but across frequencies. The incoherent and coherent processors are applied to the experimental data where it is shown that both processors give a high probability of correct localization. Also it is found that a coherent processor has better performance in the sidelobe pattern of ambiguity surfaces.

The ultrasonic transient fields and B-mode images of a point target which were simulated for a medical ultrasonic probe with a few defective piezo-elements were compared with those for a normal probe. The present study considered a 3.5 MHz linear array probe whose acoustic beam was formed by the 64 active elements of total 192 elements. The results showed that the maximum amplitude and -3 dB width of the acoustic fields by main-lobes decreased linearly as the defective element number increased from one to four. However, the depths of foci remained almost unchanged, and the pressure differences between main-lobes and side-lobes tended to decrease due to rise in pressures in side-lobes. Such changes in ultrasonic fields affected the B-mode images of point targets. So the artifacts were formed in the right and left side of the target, and the lateral spatial resolutions were decreased while the axial resolution was almost the same.

수직선배열과 이동음원을 이용하여 수심이 140m인 동해 연안에서 정합장처리 실험을 실시하고 신호를 분석하였다. Battlett, MVDR, WMGC 정합장처리기를 이용하여 음원위치추정을 수행하였다. 실험 해역의 수온구조는 내부파등의 단주기 변동의 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 알려져 왔으며, 정합장처리 결과에서도 단주기변동의 영향을 받아 부엽준위가 증가하였다.

The design method of the center-fed resonant type slotted waveguide antenna using the Dolph-Tschebyscheff array is presented. Slot admittances are obtained by empirical and theoretical method since the effect of mutual coupling between slots is included. We design a slotted waveguide antenna which has 1.8ft. length and operates on 9.4GHz. The experimental results of the antenna show that its gain, maximum sidelobe level and half power beam-width are 25.5dB, -22dB and 3.6deg., respectively.

In this research, optimization of a dual-band dipole array was performed using genetic algorithm. A non-uniform, aperture-shared linear array was configured with dipoles which resonate at 4 GHz and 9.5 GHz. The excited current distributions on dipoles were computed considering mutual coupling between dipole elements. The current distributions were also computed using method of moment (MoM). The optimization using genetic algorithm was performed to obtain the low sidelobe levels in two operating frequency band. The PSLs of the optimized array for 4 GHz and 9.5 GHz are -15.7 dB and -17 dB, respectively. Comparison between computed and simulated results are also discussed.

In this paper, we have designed the antenna for Korea SAT-5 Satellite Communication which can use Ka band in the earth station. The antenna structure consist of the the dual-offset gregorian reflector that has high gain and efficiency, the corrugated horn that has symmetric radiation patterns and low side lobe levels, the iris polarizer that make circular polarization and the OrthoMode Transducer that separate transmitting and receiving signals. The designed antenna gain is more than 45.7dBi in Tx-band which use LHCP and 42.0dBi in Rx-band which use RHCP. The co-polarized and cross-polarized radiation pattern comply with ITU-R S.580-6 and S.731-1 that are recommended by International Telecommunication Union in the geostationary satellite. The Axial ratio is less than 1.0dB in Tx-band and 1.5dB in Rx-band that meet MIL-STD-188-164A.

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, dual-polarized monopulse cassegrain antenna for W-band millimeter-wave seeker was proposed and the performances were verified by the measured results of the fabricated antenna. Dual-polarized monopulse Cassegrain antenna consists of main/subreflector, dual-polarized feed horn and monopulse comparator. The proposed feed horn has $2{\times}2$ array square waveguide feeding structure to make monopulse signals and it was designed using 90 degree rotational symmetric structure to receive dual-polarized signals. At the sum and difference channel, the measured vertical and horizontal polarization radiation pattern were similar. Measurement gains are 35.1 dBi for v-pol. and 35.6 dBi for h-pol. at the center frequency with 0.5dBi difference between each polarization and the side lobe level is below -21.6 dB.

This paper present a waveguide slot 16${\times}$16 assay antenna with diaphragms for 38 GHz frequency band. Diaphragms are used to control the impedance and to minimize the return loss of the structure. A 20 dB Chebyshev array of 16 waveguide slots has been designed by optimizing the positions and sizes of the diaphragms. A serial feeding system with $\pi$- and T-junction power dividers has also designed to get a 20 dB Chebyshev power distribution. A 16${\times}$16 slot array was designed for a Fixed Wireless Access System at 38 GHz frequency band, manufactured using a computer controlled milling technique, and measured for the return -19 dB and the frequency band of 740 MHz.

In this paper, an antenna having 2-axes cross monopulse for Ka band millimeter-wave seeker is designed and antenna performance is verified through vacuum-brazing method for fabrication and measurement. Also, by designing and manufacturing a waveguide circulator the antenna including the circulator is measured. Radiating part of the antenna takes optimized slot lengths and offsets from Elliot's array synthesis procedure using the generic algorithm and feeding part for cross monopulse axes uses the folded waveguide to optimize the S-parameter result. Based on this method, the antenna has 33.3 dBi gain, $3.5^{\circ}{\pm}0.5^{\circ}$ beamwidth, below -23 dB SLL through fabricating and measuring. It is found that antenna characteristics is similar to design results.
