UIC Codes 714R & 715R recommend the use of line classifications and their usage in maintenance work by employing notional traffic loads. However, the classification has not been applied to local lines and, therefore, a new line classification system based on UIC 714R has been proposed in this study. For this, various classification models of UIC, Germany, and UK have been studied first and equivalent traffic loads based on Korail's report, as well as on train timetables, have been derived. The results of the classifications have been compared with those of major European countries and it has been shown that the proposed classification is equivalent to the average value in the European cases. The line classification can be fully utilized during the decision making process of maintenance work and will also be used to model the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) in the future.

The role of the turnouts installed on the points of railway branches and intersections is to safely switch the directions of trains. In case of abnormal forces applied to the turnouts due to extreme operating conditions, it is difficult in the current system to conduct accurate diagnosis and measuring. Moreover, the existing measurement devices for turnout switching power are mostly based on foreign technologies, which provide only limited information on the switching power; this information is insufficient for effective monitoring and maintenance. In this paper, through an analysis of the characteristics of the switching and locking function, the problems in turnout power measurements of current electrical point machines in Korea are examined. And based on the results, a new sensor-based method for measuring switching power is proposed.

대량의 전력에너지를 사용하는 산업체 전력계통은 대부분 한국전력과 22.9kV 또는 154Kv 송배전선로로 연계되어 전력을 공급받고 있으며 전력에너지와 함께 열에너지를 사용하거나 또는 전력만 사용하는 산업체라도 자가발전들을 설치하여 전력회사 전력계통과 병렬운전하는 경우가 많다.

직렬 접속 프로토콜은 두개 이상의 근거리 시스템간의 정보 교환에 사용된다. 현재까지 공식적인 기관에서 표준화되어 제정된 직렬 접속 규격들이 가지고 있는 성능은 전송 속도 측면에서 수 kbps에서 최대 10Mbps급에 한정되어 있는 관계로 수백 Mbps 혹은 수 Gbps급에 달하는 직렬 접속 프로토콜 성능을 요구하는 고성능 통신 및 정보 처리 시스템을 위한 새로운 직렬 접속 규격이 요구되고 있다. IEEE에서 표준화 작업중인 Multi-CPU 병렬 시스템을 위한 접속 규격인 P1355 접속 규격은 경제적이며 용이한 확장성을 가지는 칩과 칩간외에 보드와 보드간 혹은 랙과 랙간의 연결이 가능한 표준 규격안이다. P1355 접속 프로토콜은 특성이 서로 다른 DS, TS, HS link 규격들로 구성되어 있으며 이들은 선로 동작 속도 측면에서 각각 200Mbps, 250Mbps, 1Gbps의 성능을 가지고 있으며, 사용되는 데이터 심볼의 코딩 방식, 접속로 동작 초기화 및 오류 제어, 접속로의 물리적 성능 및 규격 등에서 차이를 가지고 있다. P1355는 일반적인 통신용 전송 선로에서 요구되는 물리 계층의 BER 성능보다 $10^5$에서 $10^10$배 향상된 선로 BER 특성과 이러한 하위 계층 특성을 바탕으로한 패킷 손실이 없는 간결한 상위계층 프로토콜을 특징으로 하며, 차세대 통신 수단인 ATM교환기 시스템의 서브 시스템 접속 규격으로 사용될 수 있다.

This paper presents an modelling and analysis of SSSC and UPFC in static analysis of power systems. SSSC is used to control active power flow in transmission lines by controlling the phase angle of the injected voltage source which is in rectangular to the line current. UPEC is used to control the magnitude and phase of the injected voltage sources which are connected both in series and in parallel with the transmission line to control power flow and bus voltage. To compare the effect of SSSC and UPFC in power system static analysis, the PSS/E simulation program is used. As the FACTS device model such as SSSC and UPFC is not provided in PSS/E yet, an equivalent load model is used. This procedure is implemented by IPLAN which is an external macro program of PSS/E. The simulation results show that UPFC is more effective to improve bus voltage than SSSC in power system static analysis.

Impedance or admittance inverter is a conceptual 2-port device frequently used in microwave filter design. In this paper, the equivalent circuit using inverter for general loss less 2-port circuit is presented. Our equivalent circuit can be directly and easily represented with z- or y-parameters compared with the conventional methods. Based on the representation, the derived results for various coupled lines such as parallel coupled line and anti-parallel coupled lines are compared ours. In addition, the results of other workers for improvement of the distortion in frequency response of microstrip coupled line filter are derived using our representation and compared. The proposed equivalent circuit shows the difference with conventional equivalent circuit so the conventional design method can not be applied to parallel coupled line filter with our representation. So in this paper the novel design method is proposed and we showed the method yields more accurate design results.

In this paper, a microstrip linear tapered slot antenna is designed. A tapered slot antenna(TSA) has many advantages such as low profile, low weight, easy fabrication, and compatibility with monolithic microwave integrated circuits(MMIC). In addition, it has demonstrated multi octave bandwidth, moderately high gain, and symmetrical E- and H-plane beam patterns. A feed network is implemented with transition between a microstrip and a slot line for the microstrip linear tapered slot antenna. The transition is consist of two sides. One side has a microstrip line, the other side has a slot line. The dimensions of the microstrip and slot line are ${\lambda}_m/4$ and ${\lambda}_s/4$ at the center of the cross section of the microstrip and slot line. In order to get broad bandwidth antenna characteristics, the tapered length is chosen as $4{\lambda}_o$ and termination width is chosen as $1.75{\lambda}_o$. Experimental results show that the microstrip tapered slot antenna has symmetrical E- and H-plane beam patterns with around 5GHz of bandwidth at center frequency of 5.0GHz.

This paper presents a broadband CPS-fed Yagi-Uda antenna. The antenna has a feedline structure much simpler than other Yagi-Uda antennas and it provides more design flexibility in arranging the reflector. To improve the impedance matching, a tapered CPS line is inserted between the thick and thin feedlines. The proposed antenna exhibits the bandwidth of $3.9{\sim}5.9$ GHz (|G| < -10 dB) and the gain of $6.5{\sim}8$ dBi within that bandwidth. At the center frequency of 4.9 GHz, the antenna shows the gain of 7.4 dBi, and HPBW of $98^{\circ}$ along the x-z plane and $73^{\circ}$ along the x-y plane.

In this paper, a method of enhancing the bandwidth of a double-dipole quasi-Yagi antenna (DDQYA) using a modified integrated balun is presented. The modified integrated balun consists of a microstrip (MS) line inserted along the center of a coplanar strip (CPS) line and the end of the MS line is connected to the CPS line through a shorting pin at the feed point. The geometry of the modified integrated balun is adjusted to improve the bandwidth of the DDQYA. In addition, the performance of the proposed balun in a back-to-back configuration is compared with a conventional balun. The proposed antenna with the optimized modified integrated balun is fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and the experiment results show that the antenna has a frequency band of 1.56-3.04 GHz(64.4%) for a VSWR < 2, which shows enhanced bandwidth compared to the DDQYA with the conventional balun.
