In this article, we propose a near field microwave scanning probe structure in which two short conducting rods are attached to the center of the ridged(H-type) aperture, thereby reducing significantly the beam spot area while maintaining the high transmission efficiency through the output coupling H-type(ridged) aperture. Here the two short parallel conducting rods seem to play an important role of concentrating the transmitted electromagnetic energy through the H-type aperture and so reducing the beam area for high resolution. For validation of the proposed theory, the near field waveguide probe is fabricated according to the simulated results and its return loss characteristics versus frequencies are measured. The comparison between theory and experiment is seen to be in good agreements.

A candidate hybrid satellite and terrestrial network architecture, MSS/ATC(Mobile Satellite Service/Ancillary Terrestrial Component), is proposed for utilizing efficiently the exist MSS bands. Studies on the adjacent channel interference from the existing terrestrial mobile services and MSS/ATC itself are important to allocate a new ATC service frequency in MSS band. In this paper, we have analyzed the minimum permission power of terrestrial base station and the capacity loss with parameters of ACIR, number of MS(mobile Station) and MES(Mobile Earth Station) in uplink, and also, the capacity performance based on 1 beam and 1 cell assumption for MSS/ATC in downlink. The ACIR requirements are estimated in two MSS/ATC frequency allocation scenarios for 5 MHz and 10 MHz guard band to share spectrum with adjacent systems, and according to these ACIR requirements the service coverage and the receiver filter for ATC system should be designed in near future.

Helicopter-related collision accidents with structures mostly occur at landing, especially in a limited visibility environment, which necessitates some secondary equipment like a radar that can generate stationary clutter image. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that makes an image of stationary ground clutter in two dimensional range and azimuth angle domain. We present a mathematical model for the received signals from each clutter patch in the iso range ring and analyze their clutter and Doppler characteristics, assuming that a helicopter-borne radar has a rotational antenna. We propose a filter structure, which suppresses side lobe signal components while extracting a main lobe signal component, and suggest a solution for a problem stemmed from the filtering process. Finally, by conducting a simulation we show the performance of the suggested imaging algorithm on a two dimensional virtual scenario of the topographic clutter.

절연 게이트 바이폴라 트랜지스터 (Insuialed atc Bipolar Transistor : IGBT)는 높은 전류구동 능력과 높은 입력 임피던스 특성으로 인해 대전력 스위칭 소자로 널리 응용되고 있다. 특히, 대용량 모터 구동을 위해 응용되는 경우, 모터의 부하 특성상, 모터의 단락에 의한 단락 회로 (Short-circuit fault) 현상을 비롯한 클램핑 다이오드의 파손으로 인한 unclamped 유도성 부하 스위칭 (UIS) 상황에서 견딜 수 있도록 설계되어야 한다. 이를 위해, 이전 연구를 통해 Floating p-well을 600V급 IGBT에 도입함으로써 UIS 상황에서 IGBT가 견딜 수 있는 에너지(항복 에너지)륵 증가시키고 Floating p-weil 전압을 감지함으로써 단락 회로 상황에서 IGBT가 보호될 수 있도록 보호회로를 제안하고 검증하였다. 그러나 이 보호회로는 수평형 금속 산화막 반도체 전계 효과 트랜지스터 (Latcral MOSFET)로 제작됨으로써 보호회로 기능을 수행하기 위해서는 넓은 면적을 요구하였다. 또한, 정상적인 동작 상황에서 오류를 감지 (오류 감지: False detection)하는 동작으로 인해 추가적인 filter를 요구함으로써 보호회로 동작 속도를 감소시켰다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해, 수평형 절연 게이트 바이폴라 트랜지스터 (Lateral IGBT : LIGBT)를 보호회로에 적용함으로써 LIGBT의 높은 전류 구동능력을 이용하여 기존 보호회로 면적의 30% 수준의 보호회로를 구현하였다. 또한, 구현된 보호회로는 오류 감지 현상을 제거함으로써 보호회로의 동작 속도를 개선하였다. 제안된 보호회로와 1200V급 IGBT는 7장의 마스크를 이용한 표준 수평형 IGBT 공정을 이용하여 제작되었으며, 특히, 전자빔 조사를 이하여 턴오프 속도를 개선함으로써 고속 스위칭에 적합하도록 최적화 되었다.

In this paper, microstrip array antenna is proposed for the wireless communication of DSRC(dedicated short range communication) scheme at 5.8GHz, which works as a part of the Navigation terminal. The microstrip patches minimized from a rectangular microstrip antenna with a half wavelength are arrayed to be mounted on the narrow and long area in the top side of the navigation terminal. Besides, the array antenna can limit its own beamwidth to the driving lane and has better directivity. It is simulated to verify the validity of the proposed application. The prototype fabricated has a volume of $18{\times}40{\times}0.8mm^3$. From the measurement, it has circular polarization performance of 4dB axial ratio over 40MHz frequency band. In addition, antenna gain of 6.2dBi and 3dB beamwidth of $70^{\circ}$ at cross section of driving lane have been achieved.

An active phased away antenna consists of many channels including radiator and active circuitary that contains low noise amplifiers and phase shifters. Each channel has different initial phase shift and gain because of inequality in active circuitary itself, interface between radiator and active circuitary, beam forming network and other antenna configurations. This is an inherent problem in active phased away antenna, therefore each channels' initial phase shifts and gains should be calibrated for obtaining the designed radiation pattern and antenna gain. In this paper, an efficient calibration method for the active phased array antenna is presented. By performing the above method, thhe antenna gain is increased more than 2.0 dB after calibrating considerably unequal 12 channels' initial phase shifts and gains.

PVT modules commonly can be defined as a combination of PV modules and thermal collectors. After absorbing sun light, electricity and hot water can be actually provided to users simultaneously, which dual outputs (electricity and hot water) have drawn academic interest and industrial activities. Additionally, heat exchange between solar cell and flowing water can enhance solar cell efficiency. Because of PVT modules effectiveness, new international markets and commercial products have made. Especially European, facilities and measurement methods are established to evaluate PVT module performance. However, there are no currently appropriate internationally and domestic standards and facilities to test PVT module performance Herein, to test PVT module performance, indoor thermal simulators and fundamental standard study are considered.

Reducing the impact of collisions of cars is a major issue for reducing the injury and death of passengers. According to the statistical data of the Road Traffic Authority, the deaths from side collision accidents caused by the collision of passenger cars is greater than the deaths from head-on collision accidents. To accommodate this, vehicle designers have added a reinforcing material called the impact frame and impact beam on the inside of the door. Many experiments are needed to develop the door impact beam. These reinforcements to develop a collision experiment is essential. Collision experiments are costly and time consuming. This study used a drop Impactor to obtain the impulse and a strain experimental device was developed for this purpose. The economic costs were reduced and the ideal experiment device configuration was determined. A comparison of the experimental results with numerical value analysis revealed $3.5{\tiimes}10-3sec$ strain ranging from $3.49{\tiimes}10-3$ to $3.99{\tiimes}10-3$.

In this study, a solid-state laser system adopting a new real time multi-discharge (RTMD) method in which three flashlamps are turned on consecutively was designed and fabricated to examine the pulse width and the pulse shape of the laser beams depending upon the changes in the lamp rum-on time. That is, this study shows a technology that makes it possible to make various pulse shapes by turning on three flashlamps consecutively on a real-time basis with the aid of a PIC one-chip microprocessor. With this technique, the lamp turn-on delay time can be varied more diversely from 0 to 10 ms and the real-time control is possible with an external keyboard, enabling various pulse shapes. In addition, longer pulses can be more widely used for industrial processing and lots of medical purposes
