To address the bottleneck problem in data center networks, there have been several proposals for network architectures providing high path-diversity. In devising new schemes to utilize multiple paths, one must consider the effects on TCP performance because packet reordering can make TCP perform poorly. Therefore most schemes prevent packet reordering by sending packets through one of multiple available paths. In this study we show that packet reordering does not occur severely enough to have a significant impact on TCP performance when scattering packets through all available paths between a pair of hosts in Fat-Tree. Simulation results imply that it is possible to find a low-cost solution to the TCP performance problem for Fat-Tree-like topologies.

In modern electronic warfare, RADAR is under constant threat of ECM(Electronic Counter Measures) signals from nearby jammers. The conventional linear frequency modulated(Linear-FM) waveform is easy to be intercepted to estimate its signal parameters due to its periodical phase transition. Recently, APCN(Advanced Pulse Compression Noise) waveform using random amplitude and phase transition was proposed for LPI(Low probability of Intercept). But random phase code signals such as APCN waveform tend to be sensitive to Doppler frequency shift and result in performance degradation during moving target detection. In this paper, random phase and code rate transition based radar waveform(RPCR) is proposed for Doppler tolerance improvement. Time frequency analysis is carried out through ambiguity analysis to validate the improved Doppler tolerance of RPCR waveform. As a means to measure the vulnerability of the proposed RPCR waveform against LPI, WHT(Wigner-Hough Transform) is adopted to analyze and estimate signal parameters for ECCM(Electronic Counter Counter Measures) application.

Porosity in concrete has close relationship with durability characteristics. Additionally mixed water can help easy mixing and workability but causes increased porosity, which yields degradation of durability performance. In this paper, cement mortar samples with 0.45 of w/c (water to cement ratio) are prepared and durability performances are evaluated with additional water from 0.45 to 0.60 of w/c. Various durability tests including strength, chloride diffusion, air permeability, saturation, and moisture diffusion are performed. Then they are analyzed with changing porosity. Changing ratios and the patterns of durability performance are quantitatively evaluated considering pore size distribution, total porosity, and additional water content.

This study examined the stress recovery length due to the local damage of a 7-wire strand, which is applied widely to PSC (Post Tensioned Concrete) bridges and cable-stayed bridges. The 7-wire strand is a multiple stranded steel of PC prestressing strand. Owing to the nature of the material, it is damaged continuously after completion with corrosion being the main cause of damage. On the other hand, due to its structural characteristics, it is difficult to grasp the degree of damage inside the cable and the pattern of stress variation. In the case of cables applied to bridges, the parts that are susceptible to corrosion are generated depending on the water supply and installation shape, which may cause local damage. This study analyzed the tendency of performance degradation and stress recovery length according to local damage of a 7-wire strand, which is applied mainly to bridge post-tensioning or stay cables. This study developed a computer-based simulation model that was validated with experimental results. The model developed in this study can be used to evaluate the safety level and estimate the remaining life span of P SC bridges or cable-stayed bridges.

In this paper, PIFA(Planar Inverted F Antenna) which operates in PCS(Personal Communication System) band is designed and characteristics are investigated. Designed PIFA was installed in three types of handsets, folder, bar, slide, and the performance was evaluated. Head and hand phantom were added to make the most similar environment to real condition of mobile phone use, and influences on antenna performance were analyzed. The simulation results confirm radiation patterns are greatly changed and antenna efficiency is decreased by the effect of human body. Performance variation of the mobile handset antenna was observed as changing the angle between mobile handset and head phantom from $0^{\circ}$ to $2^{\circ},\;4^{\circ}$ to confirm the variation caused by the relative position of mobile handset and head phantom. Directivity was decreased gradually as the antenna goes away from head phantom, and showed the trend of increasing efficiency. But in the case of bar type, where the position of antenna is relatively close to head phantom, that trend didn't show. It was confirmed that the shape of handset has a great effect on the performance.

In this paper, a semi-infinite array analysis method is proposed to analyze the defects that may occur during the fabrication of the frequency selective radome. In the analysis of N×N finite array structure using 3D analysis software, much analysis time and memory are required, whereas the semi-infinite array structure analysis proposed in this paper can predict relatively accurate electromagnetic performance while reducing the analysis time. In comparison with the results of the periodic simulation, the simulation of the semi-infinite array structure confirmed the error within ±3%. To verify the results of the simulation, the results were compared with the measured results, and the same tendency at the point of performance change and similar performance degradation at the band of interest were investigated. Using the proposed semi infinite array structure analysis, it is confirmed that the analysis of defects in the electromagnetic periodic structure is possible.

There have been increased economic and societal demands to continuously monitor the integrity and long-term deterioration of civil infrastructures to ensure their safety and adequate performance throughout their life span. However, it is very difficult to continuously monitor the structural condition of the pipeline structures because those are placed underground and connected each other complexly, although pipeline structures are core underground infrastructures which transport primary sources. Moreover, damage can occur at several scales from micro-cracking to buckling or loose bolts in the pipeline structures. In this study, guided wave measurement can be achieved with a self-sensing circuit using a piezoelectric active sensor. In this self sensing system, a specific frequency-induced structural wavelet response is obtained from the self-sensed guided wave measurement. To classify the multiple types of structural damage, supervised learning-based statistical pattern recognition was implemented using the damage indices extracted from the guided wave features. Different types of structural damage artificially inflicted on a pipeline system were investigated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed SHM approach.

In this paper, we quantiatively analyze the broadband CDMA systems with high chip rate, which virually eliminates the multipath fading effects by distinguishing each reflected paths in the process of despreading. We model the broadband multipath propagation channel with random time-variant impulse response as a linear filter of tapped delay line to evaluate the performance of broadband CDMA systems in multipath fading environment. This statistical model, based on extensive experimental data, was established to characterize the urban radio propagation medium in various environments. We perform computer simulation of the transmission and reception of broadband CDMA systems by applying it to abve channel model. From the simulation results, we confirm that the broadband CDMA systems inherenly reduce the effects of multipath fading phenomena which causes to degrade the performance of mobile communication systems, based on the results of eye-diagram and BER curve.

In this paper, we propose a feature extraction method for iris recognition using wavelet transforms. The wavelet transform is fast and has a good localization characteristic. In particular, the low frequency band can be used as an effective feature vector. In iris recognition, the noise caused by eyelid the eyebrow, glint, etc may be included in iris. The iris pattern is distorted by noises by itself, and a feature extraction algorithm based on filter such as Wavelets, Gabor transform spreads noises into whole iris region. Namely, such noises degrade the performance of iris recognition systems a major problem. This kind of noise has adverse effect on performance. In order to solve these problems, we propose to divide the iris image into a number of sub-region and apply the wavelet transform to each sub-region. Experimental results show that the performance of proposed method is comparable to existing methods using Gabor transform and region division noticeably improves recognition performance. However, it is noted that the processing time of the wavelet transform is much faster than that of the existing methods.

질화갈륨 기반의 III족-질화물 계열의 반도체 물질은 녹색-자외선 영역의 발광다이오드에 응용되어 왔으며 고효율, 고휘도 발광소자의 구현 및 성능 향상을 위해 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 일반적으로 널리 사용되어온 c축 방향으로 성장된 질화갈륨 기반 발광다이오드에서는 활성층의 에너지 밴드구조가 내부전기장에 의해 변형되어 전자와 정공의 재결합 확률이 저하된다. c축 방향으로 형성되는 내부전기장은 축방향으로의 자발적 분극화와 높은 압전 분극 현상에 기인한다. 이와 같은 분극 성장에서의 내부양자효율 저하 현상을 해결하기 위하여 내부 전기장이 존재하지 않는 a축과 m축과 같은 무분극 방향으로의 성장이 집중적으로 연구되고 있다. 현재 사파이어 기판위에서 무분극 성장된 박막은 높은 밀도의 결함이 발생하여 고품위의 발광다이오드 동작에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 최근 결함 밀도를 낮추고 높은 결정성을 갖는 무분극 질화갈륨 박막을 성장하기 위하여 2-단계 성장 방법, 나노구조층 삽입, 산화규소 마스크 패턴 등 다양한 성장 방법들이 연구되어 주목할 만한 연구 결과들이 보고되고 있다. 다양한 성장 방법들에 의해 성장된 박막들은 고유한 특성들을 보이는데, 특히 박막 성장방법에 따라 박막 내부에 형성되는 깊은 준위의 특성들은 발광다이오드의 소자 특성에도 큰 영향을 미치게 되므로 무분극 박막에서의 깊은 준위에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 금속-유기 화학기상증착 방법으로 r면의 사파이어기판 위에 a면의 질화갈륨을 성장시켰다. 고품질의 결정성을 구현하기 위해 저온 핵형성층, 3차원 성장층, 2차원 중간온도 성장층, 2차원 성장층의 4개 버퍼층을 사용하였으며, 질화규소 나노구조층을 삽입함으로써 고품 위의 a면 질화갈륨 박막을 구현하였다. 성장된 a면 질화갈륨 박막에 형성된 깊은 준위들은 접합용량과도분광법을 이용하여 분석되었으며 질화규소 삽입층의 유무에 따른 깊은 준위의 특성 차이에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.
