In this paper, we propose the calibration method of monopulse slope to minimize the variation of angle estimate in frequency agile noncoherent monopulse system. We analyze the monopulse slope characteristics of antenna and RF receiver including the phase and gain imbalances of each receiving channel and present the calibration method to minimize the phase and gain imbalances of RF receiver channels including antenna. In addition, we present the calibration method using channel switching to minimize the gain imbalance of IF receiver channels. The measured average monopulse slope within the frequency bandwidth is -0.96, the maximum variation of angle estimate is similar to theoretical value, $0.15^{\circ}$ at ${\pm}2^{\circ}$ azimuth and $0.03^{\circ}$ at $0^{\circ}$ azimuth.

A site attenuation measurement system has been developed and evaluated. The system uses selfresonant dipole antennas and baluns. Using the system we measured the site attenuations of the KSRI open area test site. The measured results agree with calculated data within $\pm$3dB , so the site can be used for EMI/EMC measurements and antenna calibrations.

In this paper, in order to suggest an optimal polarization diversity composition method in indoor radio wave propagation environments, the variation of the cross polarization discrimination(XPD) was theoretically analyzed by a computer simulation and compared to the actual measured data. From the results, it can be seen that the cross polarization discrimination of the case, a circularly polarized antenna was used at the transmitting end as well as the vertical and horizontal polarized antenna branches were used at receiving end (CV-CH), is lower than that of the case, horizontal polarized antenna at the transmitting end as well as the horizontal and vertical polarized antenna branches at the receiving end(HH-HV), and that of the case, vertical polarized antenna at the transmitting end as well as the vertical and horizontal polarized antenna branches at the receiving end(VV-VH). In this paper, to get more effective CV-CH polarization diversity composition, the amount of cross polarization discrimination values at the signals received by horizontal polarized antenna is compensated and the polarization diversity effect through the cumulative probability distribution is estimated. From the evaluation results, it was found that the polarization diversity effect was better at the compensated case than at the uncompensated case. On the other hand, it can be known that the polarization diversity effect is getting better as the cross polarization discrimination values are getting lower, and also be known that the effect can be improved if a transmitting antenna is composed of the ellipse polarized antenna by adjusting the axial ratio of the circularly polarized antenna and, a receiving antenna is made up of the vertical and horizontal polarized antenna branches.

This paper presents an SAR-data calibration technique using a well-calibrated scatterometer. At first a fully-polarimetric antenna pattern(magnitude and phase) of the antenna main-beam using a conducting sphere was measured. Then, this data were used to calibrate polarimetrically an auto-mounted network analyzer-based scatterometer system. This scatterometer system can be used to measure the accurate Mueller matrices of earth surfaces such as grass fields, rice fields and bare soil surfaces; i.e., the phase-difference parameters can be obtained as well as the radar scattering coefficients. If a polarimetrically calibrated scatterometer is operated at the same time with the SAR system, the scatterometer data can be used to correct the SAR data, especially the phase-difference parameters. It was found that the correction effect is remarkable for the degree of correlation ${\alpha}$, which is one of the phase-difference parameter, while the correction effect is negligible for the magnitude parameters(backscattering coefficients).

A nondestructive moisture measurement technique has been applied to improve the previous moisture measurement method in the building research. The experiment was done in free space using horns since it is the key element for continuous and non-destructive measurement. For this purpose a microwave bridge type analyzer at the frequency of 9.5 GHz was used to determine the moisture content of sands in the range of 1~12%. From this, the representative calibration curves were obtained. This shows that moisture measurement technique using microwave is applicabe to the measurement of moisture in non-metallic materials such as coal, pulp, foods, building materials, etc.

저궤도 위성은 대구경 광학 탑재체를 장착한 지구관측 위성으로 자세제어 센서, 탑재 데이터 전송 안테나 및 탑재체가 정밀하게 장착되어야 한다. 이를 위해 정밀한 장착을 설계과정에서 검토 및 해석을 하기 위한 요구조건을 설정하고, 요구조건을 분석하는 과정을 거치게 된다. 분석이 수행되면 이 결과를 근거로 능동적인 정열오차 교정이 필요한지, 또는 단순히 위치 정열에 대한 측정만이 필요한지를 결정한다. 그리고 측정장비의 시야각 검증 및 위치정열 측정 방안을 검토 한 후 장비들의 위치 정렬 측정 시험을 통해 정확한 위치를 확인하고, 요구조건과 비교하여 만족하는지 확인하게 된다. 다시 말해서, 위성체에 장치된 각종 장비들이 설계된 위치에 정확히 위치하고 있는지 확인하는 과정이다. 본 논문에서는 저궤도위성의 정렬 요구조건 분석 및 측정 시험을 수행한 내용을 기술하고자 한다.

ELoran Systems can provide Position, Navigation, and Time services with comparable performance to Global Positioning Systems (GPS) as a back up or alternative system. High timing and navigation performance can be achieved by eLoran signals because eLoran receivers use "all-in-view" reception. This incorporates Time of Arrival (TOA) signals from all stations in the service range because each eLoran station is synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Transmission station information and the differential Loran correction data are transmitted via an additional Loran Data Channel (LDC) on the transmitted eLoran signal such that eLoran provides improved Position Navigation and Timing (PNT) over legacy Loran. In this paper, we propose a technique for adapting the delay time compensation values in eLoran timing receivers to provide precise time comparison. For this purpose, we have designed a system that measures time delay from the crossing point of the third cycle extracted from the current transformer at the end point of the transmitter. The receiver delay was measured by connecting an active H-field, an E-field and a passive loop antenna to a commercial eLoran timing receiver. The common-view time transfer technique using the calibrated eLoran timing receiver improved the eLoran transfer time. A eLoran timing receiver calibrated by this method can be utilized in the field for precise time comparison as a GNSS backup.

최근 집속이온빔을 이용한 미세회로 교정, MEMS 공정 및 이온 도핑 등에 대한 연구개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 기존에 널리 사용되었던 액체 금속 이온 소스의 경우 비교적 큰 angular divergence 및 Ga 이온 소스에 의한 오염이 문제시 되고 있어 이를 대체할 수 있는 가스 이온 소스에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 가스 이온 소스는 2 turn 안테나(1/4 inch Cu tube)가 감긴 반경 4 cm 석영관 내부에 Ar 가스를 주입 후 RF(13.56MHz)-ICP 타입 방전을 이용하였다. 운전 압력은 $10^{-5}\;Torr$ 범위이며 인가된 RF 전력은 최대 150 W이다. 석영관 내 발생된 플라즈마로부터 Ar 이온을 인출하기 위해 2단 인출 전극 구조가 사용되었으며 상단 전극에 고전압이 인가되고 하단 전극이 접지되는 형태이다. 2단 인출 전극의 최대 인출 전압은 10 kV, 상단 및 하단 전극의 구멍 크기는 각각 0.3 mm, 2 mm이다. 이온빔의 퍼짐을 최소화하기 위해 전극 간 공간 내 이온 거동 전산모사를 통해 전극 구조를 설계하였으며 이를 통해 최대 $30\;mA/cm^2$의 이온 전류 밀도 값을 얻을 수 있었다.

We have developed a millimeter-wave radiometer system for applications in the fields of medical imaging. In this paper, we introduced the brightness temperature measurement in the human body using Millimeter-wave Radiometer. Calibration of sensitivity of the radiometer system is essential to measure equivalent temperature (brightness temperature) of objects. We have developed, as a calibration source, a new type of black body for the millimeter wave region with temperature control capability. The system noise figure and temperature sensitivity of the system measured using the blackbody are 3.3 dB and 0.1 K, respectively. The brightness temperature of human body through clothes was measured to be around $38^{\circ}$[C].
