In this paper, we propose a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) method based on channel alignment to simultaneously transmit multiple unicast and multicast streams in frequency-efficient manner. In this method, all receivers in a multicast cluster use the receive beamforming vectors that align their channels, and the base station uses the aligned channel information to design the transmit beamforming vectors that eliminate interference between multicast clusters. Using the effective receive channel information combined with the transmit beamforming vectors, unicast receivers design their own receive beamforming vectors that eliminate interference between unicast receivers. Since the proposed method effectively eliminates the interference, it achieves a higher sum rate than the existing orthogonal multiple access (OMA) method in high SNR regions. In addition, we present a hybrid method that exploits the benefits of the proposed NOMA method and the existing OMA method. Depending on the channel state, the hybrid method adaptively employs the existing OMA method, which improves the received signal power, in low SNR regions and the proposed NOMA method, which effectively eliminates the interference, in high SNR regions, thereby achieving a good sum rate over the entire SNR region.

최근 포항가속기연구소 10A 빔라인에 Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM)가 완성되어 운영 중이다. Soft x-ray imaging 장치로서 기술적으로 Sample scanning 기법이 활용된다. 이는 Zone plate를 통해 집속된 빔이 샘플에 조사되고 검출되는 방식이다. 이러한 Scanning 기법을 활용하고 있는 10A STXM은 기본적으로 흡수분광기법 (x-ray absorption spectroscopy)을 이용하고 있다. 특히, 10A 빔라인 STXM은 최고 20 nm까지 공간분해능이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 따라서 수십에서 수백 나노미터 크기의 시료들 또는 나노구조에 대한 물리화학적 상태 분석이 쉽게 이루어지고 있다. 주로 시료를 투과하면서 흡수되는 X-선 세기 대비를 맵핑하는 형식의 이미지 데이터와 더불어 X-선의 에너지를 조정함으로써 각 에너지에 해당하는 이미지스택을 결과로 얻게 된다. 이러한 이미지 결과로부터 시료의 나노크기에서 오는 물리화학적 상태를 분석하고 물리에서 바이오까지 다양한 분야의 실험 활용이 가능한 상태다.

Line may 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 we used line-array with cardioid beam. In addition, the synthetic aperture method adopts coherent processing of sub-aperture signals at successive time intervals in the beam domain. We presented performances about division of left/right bearing ambiguity according to array synthetic number of times in this paper.

본 연구에서는 이온빔 스퍼터링 방법으로 증착한 Cr2O3, Ta2O5, HfO2 산화물박막의 구조적 특성변화를 관찰하였다. 금속박막에서 표면이 산화되는 문제를 해결하기위하여 산화물 박막을 증착시켰다. 이온빔 스퍼터링으로 박막 증착 시 산화물 타겟을 사용할 때 발생되는 전하의 영향을 상쇄하기 위하여 neutralizer를 사용하였다. 박막 증착 후 XRR (X-ray Reflectometer)을 이용하여 박막의 두께, 거칠기 및 밀도를 확인하였으며, AFM (Atomic Force MicroScope)을 통하여 증착한 박막표면 거칠기 측정을 하여 XRR로 얻은 데이터와 비교하여 살펴보았다. 또한 XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy)측정을 통해 제조된 박막의 화학적 결합상태를 확인하였다. 여러 가지 조건변화와 기판의 차이에 따라 제작된 산화물 박막 중 실리콘 기판을 사용하여 증착시킨 박막은 XRR측정시 반사율 곡선에서 자연 산화막에 의한 영향이 나타났다. 반면 glass나 sapphire에 증착시킨 산화물 박막은 실리콘기판에서 나타난 자연 산화막의 영향을 받지 않음을 확인하였다. 기판과 산화물 박막사이에 계면층에 나타나는 영향을 최소화시킴으로써 양질의 박막을 제작할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The diversity techniques can benefit underwater acoustic communications when the distance between sensors is sufficiently apart, and this leads to the increases in the physical size of the communication system: thus it is very hard to practically use such systems in real-environments. Therefore, in this paper, we have collected data from real underwater cannel environments in order to analyze the usability of diversity combined with beamforming techniques. And we have estimated the fading characteristics from the measurement data, and analyzed the correlation coefficients using the estimated fading characteristics. After analyzing the estimated fading characteristics from the measurements data, we found out that by applying diversity techniques on the output signals from beamformers that perform beamforming from different multipath directions, we can reduce the distance between sensors and at the same time benefit from the diversity gain.

Millimeter wave wireless communication systems, especially those targeting indoor high rate data transfer, have a strong requirement for high quality wireless link. Unfortunately, in this frequency band, the electromagnetic wave has to sustain the high propagation loss caused by the smaller wavelengths. In this scenario, beamforming technique, which enhances the link quality by focusing the radiation power on a direction, becomes one of the most important techniques in millimeter wave band wireless communication. In recent year, there been conducted many research on beamforming to improve the performance of wireless system. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a simplified codebook-based beamforming scheme which is based on multiple-procedure and three-state beam selection. The simplified scheme significantly reduces beamforming setup time, comparing to the exhaustive searching, two-level searching adopted in IEEE 802.15.3c standard, and also conventional multi-level scheme.

A vehicle door impact beam made of a thin sheet of steel has been constructed using hot stamping technology with the aim of ensuring occupant safety in the event of a side collision. This technology has been used to increase the strength of the vehicle body parts and to reduce the weight of the door impact beam as well as the number of work processes. Mechanical tests were performed to determine the material properties of the hot-stamped specimen and the results of the tests were used as input data in stamping and structural simulation in order to obtain the optimal design of door impact beam. The strength of the hot-stamped door impact beam increased to a value that was 102% higher than that of conventional pipe-shaped door impact beam. A weight reduction of 34% was also achieved.

Beamspace Multiple-Input Multiple Output(MIMO) system can transmit multiple data by using Electronically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator(ESPAR) antenna which has single Radio Frequency(RF)-chain. Beamspace MIMO system can reduce complexity of the system and size of antenna in comparison with the conventional MIMO system because of characteristic of ESPAR antenna using the single antenna and the RF-chain. Heretofore, only the research of transmitting single-carrier has been conducted by the use of beamspace MIMO system. Therefore, in this paper, we propose beamspace MIMO system based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) for transmitting the multi-carrier and analysis the performance of this system. We find a proper reactance value which has good performance because proposed system changes the performance by the reactance values of parasitic elements. and we confirm that performance of the proposed system is similar to conventional MIMO system based on OFDM.

ESPAR(Electronically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator) antenna is the technique for overcoming the problems of space limitation and energy efficiency due to the multiple RF-chain. Conventional MIMO system with multiple antenna requires a large number of RF-chain for transmitting the multiple data because it transmits the data in proportion to the number of antenna. Beamspace MIMO system using the ESPAR antenna which has single RF-chain was proposed for solving the problems caused by using the multiple antenna and RF-chain. In this paper, therefore we propose 2x2 beamspace MIMO system using the 16, 64-QAM modulation and evaluate the performance of this system to reveal that it is possible that beamspace MIMO system can use not only PSK modulation but also QAM modulation. We confirm that QAM symbol can be generated by adjusting reactance of parasitic elements and making reactance set and also we confirm that performance of beamspace MIMO system is similar to the conventional MIMO system by transmitting the QAM symbol made by reactance set through the simulation.
