A new design and its experimental results of a microstrip-fed ultra-wideband tapered slot antenna(TSA) for millimeter-wave systems are presented. By utilizing the ultra-wideband microstrip-to-CPS transition(balun), ultra-wideband characteristics of the inherent TSA are retrieved. Also, the design procedure of the TSA is simplified by performing simple impedance matching between balun and antenna. The proposed TSA is shaped by using the Fermi-Dirac tapering function and corrugated at the outer edge. The implemented antenna demonstrates ultra-wideband performance for frequency ranges from 23 to over 58 GHz with the relatively high and flat antenna gain of 12 to 14 dBi and low sidelobe levels. In addition, a 4-element linear antenna array for phased-array systems and mm-wave sensor applications is also presented.

In this paper, we propose a C-band radiometer for remote sensing of land surface temperature and present its experiment results using asphalt as target. Total power type is selected for high sensitivity and low power consumption, super-heterodyne type is selected for stable high gain. A radiometer designed at 5.1 GHz to have operating bandwidth of 110 MHz has system gain of 59 dB, noise figure of 2.7 dB and receiving sensitivity of 0.45 K. We have measured surface temperature on asphalt by using implemented system and thermometer. Analysis data of each measurement results show that a radiometer operates linearly with output voltage variation rate of 6 $mV/^{\circ}C$. As a result, we verified validity of a developed C-band radiometer for remote sensing of land surface temperature.

In this research, we designed the head mouse system for disabled and gamers, a mouse controller which can be controlled by head movements and eye blinks only, and compared its performance with other regular mouse controller systems. The head mouse was moved by a gyro-sensor, which can measure an angular rotation of a head movement, and the eye blink was used as a clicking event of the mouse system. Accumulated errors caused by integral, which was a problem that previous head mouse system had, were removed periodically, and treated as dead zones in the non-linear relative point graph, and direct mouse point control was possible using its moving distance and acceleration calculation. We used the active light sources to minimize the influence of the ambient light changes, so that the head mouse was not affected by the change in external light source. In a comparison between the head mouse and the gazing tracking mouse (Quick Glance), the above method resulted about 21% higher score on the clicking event experiment called "20 clicks", about 25% higher on the dasher experiment, and about 37% higher on on-screen keyboard test respectively, which concludes that the proposed head mouse has better performance than the standard mouse system.

Vessel traffic system uses multiple sea surveillance radars as a primary sensor to obtain maritime traffic information like as ship's position, speed, course. The systematic errors such as the range bias and the azimuth bias of the two-dimensional radar system can significantly degrade the accuracy of the radar image and target tracking information. Therefore, the systematic errors of the radar system should be corrected precisely in order to provide the accurate target information in the vessel traffic system. In this paper, it is proposed that the method compensates the range bias and the azimuth bias using AtoN information installed at VTS coverage. The radar measurement residual error model is derived from the standard error model of two-dimensional radar measurements and the position information of AtoN, and then the linear Kalman filter is designed for estimation of the systematic errors of the radar system. The proposed method is validated via Monte-Carlo runs. Also, the convergence characteristics of the designed filter and the accuracy of the systematic error estimates according to the number of AtoN information are analyzed.

This research paper presents a low-power programmable gain amplifier (PGA) to facilitate signal processing of the detection of defects in steel plates. This circuit is able to adjust a gain in the range of 6 to 60dB in 7 steps using different signal types for various defects from hall sensors. The gain of PGA is designed by operating on-resistors of switches and passive components. The proposed PGA ($0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process with 1.8 supply voltage) showed excellent gain error of less than -0.2dB, and low power consumption of 0.47mW.

This paper presents an implementation of high-dynamic performance of position sensorless motion control system of Reluctance Synchronous Motor(RSM) drives for an industrial servo system with direct torque control(DTC). The problems of high-dynamic performance and maximum efficiency RSM drives controlled by DTC are saturation of stator linkage flux and nonlinear inductance characteristics with various load currents. The accurate estimation of the stator flux and torque are obtained using stator flux observer of which a saturated inductance $L_d$ and $L_q$ can be compensated by adapting from measurable the modulus of the stator current and rotor position. To obtain fast torque response and maximum torque/current with varying load current, the reference command flux is ensured by imposing $I_{ds} = I_{qs}$. This control strategy is proposed to achieve fast response and optimal efficiency for RSM drive. In order to prove rightness of the suggested control algorithm, the actual experiment carried out at $\pm$20 and $\pm$1500 rpm. The developed digitally high-performance motion control system shown good response characteristic of control results and high performance features using 1.0kW RSM which has 2.57 Ld/Lq salient ratio.

최근 그래핀의 대면적 합성 및 롤투롤 전사 공정의 개발로 그래핀의 상용화가 가시화 되고 있다. 하지만, 그래핀의 독특한 특성인 선형적이고 밴드갭이 없는 에너지 띠 분포 때문에 반도체 소자로서의 직접적인 적용에는 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 돌파구로써, 그래핀 복합체의 연구와 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있으며 본 연구에서는 그래핀 복합 적층 구조를 다룬다. 이는 디스플레이, 초고속 반도체 소자, 고성능 광전자소자 및 초고감도 센서 등 다양한 분야에 대한 그래핀의 실용화 가능성이 높아진 것을 의미한다. 특히, 높은 가시광 투과도와 낮은 면저항으로 기존 투명 전극에 대표적으로 사용되고 있는 ITO (Indium Tin Oxide)를 그래핀으로 대체하는 것에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 그래핀이 높은 전자이동도를 가지는 것에 비하여 비저항과 투과도 측면에 있어서는 ITO의 성능을 뛰어넘지 못하는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ITO가 가지는 취약점인 기판과의 약한 접착력, 높은 취성, 기판과의 열팽창률 차이 등의 공정상 문제점을 극복하고자 하였다. 그래핀 복합 적층 필름은 플라스틱 기판 (PET) 위에 열 화학기상증착법(Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD)을 이용하여 합성한 그래핀을 전사하고, ITO 용액을 도포한 다음 다시 그래핀을 씌워 제작하여 샌드위치 구조(sandwich structure)를 형성하였다. 완성된 필름은 광학적, 전기적 특성 분석을 수행하였다. 광학적 분석으로는 라만 분광을 이용한 그래핀 품질평가와 파장대에 따른 광 투과도, 그리고 반사도 측정을 하였으며, 전기적 특성은 면저항을 측정함으로써 분석한다. 결함이 적고, 대면적에 걸쳐 한 층을 이루어야 하는 고품질 그래핀의 요구사항에 따라 라만 분광의 G, 2D, D 띠를 분석하였다. G와 2D 띠의 비율을 통해 그래핀의 층 수를, D 띠의 강도를 통해 결함의 유무를 판단하였다. 또한, 가시광 영역에서 90% 이상의 광 투과도를 보여야 하는 투명 소자의 요구사항 달성 정도를 UV-VIS를 이용하여 확인하였다. 마지막으로, 제작한 필름의 면저항 또한 4-프로브 멀티미터를 이용하여 측정하고, 일반적인 터치스크린의 면저항인 $500{\Omega}/sq$를 만족하는지 평가하였다.

The motion of flexseal bearing for movable nozzle has inherent nonlinear characteristics due to floating rotational center and compression by combustion pressure of solid motor. To perform precise attitude control in spite of these characteristics, the TVC actuation system requires counter potentiometer as an extra position feedback sensor of movable nozzle to form a compensated control loop. The prototype TVC actuation system, test equipments and compensated controller are newly designed, manufactured and tested in consideration of counter potentiometer. On the basis of integration test, the inherent characteristics of movable nozzle and control characteristics of its TVC actuation system are analyzed and summarized in this paper.

In this paper, the terminal homing loop with a IIR-type strapdown seeker and a roll rate gyroscope is proposed. Basically, the proposed homing loop is based on the look-angle-control guidance. Since the range of the seeker is strictly limited, the missile is delivered to a point to lock the target on the seeker via non-guided flight during the midcourse guidance. The non-standard firing table is developed to compensate the wind and the target movement. To secure the delay margin is very important to prevent the instability of the homing loop when the time delay of the seeker is included. To validate the proposed homing loop, the 6-DOF nonlinear simulation is performed, and the Monte-Carlo simulation is also done for checking the robustness for the various kinds of uncertainty.

We investigated an interrogation system for fiber Bragg gratings by using a 50-GHz 96-channel array waveguide grating. Linearity of the sensitivity (the wavelength shift in response to the change in strain or temperature) is achieved for a Bragg grating of sufficiently wide bandwidth. The present wavelength-monitoring system could measure the change in Bragg wavelength with a resolution of 0.01 nm, at intervals of 10 seconds. When this interrogation system was used for a linear array of 12 acrylaterecoated fiber gratings, the wavelength sensitivity changed from 0.018 nm/℃ to 0.01 nm/℃ when the operating temperature changed from -25℃ to 85℃.
