The phased array antenna has an advantage enabling rapid beam aim without the mechanical rotation of the antenna, because it arranges multiple elements in a linear or planer (grid or circular) and electronically controls the phase for each element. The planar array antenna is generally used a grid array and a circular array, and the circular form has the higher resolution comparing to the grid form due to the its structural characteristics. However, a concentric circular array (CCA) or a concentric ring array (CRA) with multiple circular arrays which each has different radius is used in the limited area, because the entire radius should be increased for the circular array with a number of elements. In this paper, we introduce the angle-of-arrival (AOA) estimator for an adaptive beamforming satellite system based on CRA and provide the simulation results for performance evaluation. In addition, simulation results are compared and analyzed to the case for the circular array antenna.

In this paper, performance of the double circular array antenna was analyzed, which has sharp directivity with specific direction and is compatible to shape pencil beam. The character of each array geometry which N numbers of isotropic point source is arranged in planar with type of a square, circular and double circular was compared and analyzed. As a result, we fined that double circular geometry was good performance rather than square and circular array geometry in the point of directivity. SLL and HPBW.

In this paper, a study on optimization of three dimensional multi-layered metallic disk array structure(MDAS) excited by circular waveguides was performed to shape efficient flat-topped element patterns(FTEP) of ${\pm}$20$^{\circ}$ beam width. Each radiating element of the MDAS is composed of input, transition and radiation circular waveguides and finite metal disks stacked on radiation circular waveguide. It has an array structure of a hexagonal lattice appropriate for the conical beam scanning. The analytic algorithm for the MDAS was proposed and the code was also programmed using it. Optimal design parameters of the MDAS were determined through the optimal simulation process to obtain ${\pm}$20$^{\circ}$ FTEP. Also, bandwidth characteristics for FTEP and reflection coefficients of the MDAS were investigated and, as the results, it was shown that the MDAS could shape good FTEPs of ${\pm}$20$^{\circ}$ beam width in main planes at least within a 5.6 % frequency band.

심근 경색 및 뇌졸중 등 혈관과 관련된 질환들의 진단 및 치료의 목적으로 미세 크기의 원형 배열 초음파 트랜스듀서가 사용되고 있다. 원형 배열 초음파 트랜스듀서는 종래의 선형 배열 트랜스듀서에 비해 반경 방향의 입체적 진단을 가능케 하고 높은 감도 및 해상도를 구현할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 원형 배열 초음파 트랜스듀서의 개발을 위하여, 유한요소법 및 이론적인 해석으로 트랜스 eb서의 방사특성을 분석함으로써 무지향성을 이루기 위한 트랜스듀서 내 진동자의 최적 규격을 설정하였다. 나아가 해석 결과에 따라 직경이 약 10mm정도가 되는 알루미나 $Al_2O_3$ 튜브에 32개의 진동자가 원형으로 배열된 트랜스 듀서 시작품의 제작 및 방사특성 측정 실험을 수행함으로써 설계 결과의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Array observations of the vertical component of microtremors are frequently conducted to estimate a subsurface layered-earth structure on the assumption that microtremors consist predominantly of the fundamental mode Rayleigh waves. As a useful tool in the data collection, processing and analysis, the spatial autocorrelation (SPAC) method is widely used, which in practice requires a circle array consisting of M circumferential stations and one centre station (called "M-station circle array", where M is the number of stations). The present paper considers the minimum number of stations required for a circle array for efficient data collection in terms of analytical efficacy and field effort. This study first rearranges the theoretical background of the SPAC algorithm, in which the SPAC coefficient for a circle array with M infinite is solely expressed as the Bessel function, $J_0(rk)$ (r is the radius and k the wavenumber). Secondly, the SPAC coefficient including error terms independent of the microtremor energy field for an M-station circle array is analytically derived within a constraint for the wave direction across the array, and is numerically evaluated in respect of these error terms. The main results of the evaluation are: 1) that the 3-station circle array when compared with other 4-, 5-, and 9-station arrays is the most efficient and favourable for observation of microtremors if the SPAC coefficients are used up to a frequency at which the coefficient takes the first minimum value, and 2) that the Nyquist wavenumber is the most influential factor that determines the upper limit of the frequency range up to which the valid SPAC coefficient can be estimated.

This paper presents the basic characteristics of a 5 element dipole array antenna which has a four parastic element and one driving element at the center of the circular array. The coupled integral equations for the unknown current distributions on dipole elements are derived and solved by applying Galerkin's method of moments. The numerical results show that the highest power gain of 7.8 dBi is obtained at radius of d = 0.3lλ when two short circuited parastic element neighbors. In order to verify the theoretical analysis, the radiation pattern is compared with Preston's results.

교량의 케이블이나 송전선같은 원형 구조물들은 유동의 불안정성에 의해 물체 후방에 Vortex가 발생한다. 이렇게 발생한 Vortex는 구조물에 진동과 소음을 발생시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 원형 구조물들의 배열에 따른 해석을 진행하였다. 같은 크기의 두 원형 실린더를 주 유동 방향으로 정렬시킨 배열을 EDISON 전산열유체 시스템을 이용하여 해석하였다. 두 원형 실린더의 중심의 거리를 1.5 D부터 5 D까지 변화시켜가며 거리에 따른 각 실린더의 Drag coefficient에 초점을 맞추어 연구를 진행하였다. 두 원형 실린더 사이의 거리가 감소할수록 후류 쪽에 위치한 실린더의 Drag coefficient의 값이 감소하는 양상을 보였다.

Intra-Vascular Ultra-Sound (IVUS) transducers were developed for the application to diagnose coronary diseases. The transducer consists of 32 piezoelectric elements with a front insulation layer and a polymeric acoustic backing layer on a hollow alumina tube. The optimal geometrical structure of the transducer was designed through theoretical analysis of radiation patterns of the transducer. Samples of the IVUS transducers of the diameter of 3㎜ were fabricated to illustrate the design scheme. For the piezoelectric elements, 2-2 mode piezocomposite materials were employed. Experimental performance of the transducers showed good agreement with the design results, which verified feasibility of the transducer for IVUS applications.
