This paper studies measurement of sonic boom created by supersonic flight and its arrival angle estimation techniques. Since sonic boom propagates as an impulsive noise and includes infrasound frequency, we propose measurement instrumentation acquiring sonic boom signature without distortion. And we suggest the methodology for an arrival angle estimation with its performance analysis in accordance with sensor array configurations. The performance of our estimator is verified by comparing theoretical performance bound with statistics of its Monte-Carlo simulation results. Furthermore, we presents the analysis of the sonic boom measurement from real flight tests. This work provides an intuitive concept for sensor array configurations and measurement instrumentation.

The complex permeability, the complex permittivity and the reflection loss are investigated in the composite microwave absorbers which are mixed with the wasted Mn-Zn ferrite and the industrial cement. The cement has larger the complex permittivity than that of the rubber. The complex permittivity is decreasing with the increment of the mixing ratio of Mn-Zn ferrite to cement (F/C in weight) and the complex permeability is increasing with the increment of F/C. The maximum reflection loss is above -40 dB at all samples. The matching frequency is in the range of 1.3 GHz to 2.9 GHz and is decreasing with the increment of F/C from 1 to 3. The matching thickness is increasing with the increment of F/C. The wasted Mn-Zn ferrite and the cement is very useful material for the composite microwave absorber.

In this paper, a wideband microwave absorber for X-band(8~12 GHz) applications is proposed. The structure of the proposed absorber unit cell consists of a resonator with a slot and slit, a backing ground plate, and a Taconic RF-30(${\varepsilon}_r=3$, $tan{\delta}=0.0014$) substrate with a dimension of $8.5{\times}8.5{\times}0.5mm^3$. The proposed absorber has a dual resonance at 9.83 and 10.37 GHz. To demonstrate the operating principle of the proposed absorber structure at each resonance frequency, the simulated current distributions on the unit cell are analyzed. To verify the performance of the proposed absorber, a prototype absorber was fabricated with a planar array of $20{\times}20$ unit cells. The measured results exhibit two absorptivity peaks stronger than 99 % and full-width at half-maximum(FWHM) bandwidth of 1.1 GHz(9.51~10.61 GHz).

If radio interference occurs or there is no navigation device, radio navigation of high-speed moving object becomes impossible. Nevertheless, if there are multiple ground stations and precise range measurement between the high-speed moving object and the ground station can be secured, it is possible to estimate the position of moving object. This paper proposes a position estimation method using high-precision TDOA measurement generated using TLM signal. In the proposed method, a common error of moving object is removed using the TDOA measurements. The measurements is generated based on TLM signal including SOQPSK PN symbol capable of precise timing synchronization. Therefore, since precise timing synchronization of the system has been performed, the timing error between ground stations has a very small value. This improved the position estimation performance by increasing the accuracy of the measured values. The proposed method is verified through software-based simulation, and the performance of estimated position satisfies the target performance.

In this paper, a wide-input range CMOS multi-mode rectifier for wireless power transfer system is presented. The output voltage of multi-mode rectifier is sensed by comparator and switches are controlled based on it. The mode of multi-mode rectifier is automatically selected by the switches among full-wave rectifier, 1-stage voltage multiplier and 2-stage voltage multiplier. In full-wave rectifier mode, the rectified output DC voltage ranges from 9 V to 19 V for a input AC voltage from 10 V to 20 V. However, the input-range of the multi-mode rectifier is more improved than that of the conventional full-wave rectifier by 5V, so the rectified output DC voltage ranges from 7.5 V to 19 V for a input AC voltage from 5 V to 20 V. The power conversion efficiency of the multi-mode rectifier is 94 % in full-wave rectifier mode. The proposed multi-mode rectifier is fabricated in a $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process with an active area of $2500{\mu}m{\times}1750{\mu}m$.

Analytical study based on linear fracture mechanics was conducted on propagation behavior of inclined surface crack in semi-infinite elastic body. The analytical model was assumed to be inclined surface crack under plane strain condition upon which Hertzian stress was superimposed. Supposing continuous distribution of dislocation and applying Erdogan-Gupta's method to this crack problem, the stress intensity factors $K_{I}$ and $K_{II}$) at the crack-tip were obtained for various Hertzian contact positions. Analytic results have shown that driving force for crack growth is $K_{I}$ for non-lubricated condition and $K_{II}$ for fluid and boundary lubricated condition. The coefficient of friction at the hertzian contact and crack surfaces plays an important role in predicting the direction of crack propagation. It is also found that the maximum effective stress intensity factor exists at cracks of a certain specific length depending on lubricated condition.ion.n.

Scattering coefficients of randomly rough lossy dielectric surfaces were computed by using the FDTD(Finite-Difference Time-Domain) method and the Monte Carlo method in this paper. The FDTD method was applied to compute electromagnetic wave scattering characteristics at any incident angles, any linear polarizations by dividing the computation region into the total-field region and the scattered-field region. The radar cross sections(RCS) of conducting cylinders have been computed and compared with theoretical results, measurement data and the results from the method of moment(MoM) to verify the FDTD algorithm. Then, to apply the algorithm to compute scattering coefficients of distributed targets, a two-dimensionally rough surface was generated numerically for given roughness characteristics. The far-zone scattered fields of 50 statistically independent dielectric rough surfaces were computed and the scattering coefficient of the surface was calculated from the scattered fields by using the Monte Carlo method. It was found that these scattering coefficients agree well with the SPM(Small Pertubation Method) model in its validity region.

섬유강화 복합재료의 동탄성계수와 감쇠특성을 규명하기 위하여 랜덤하게 분포된 무한 실린더 형상의 산란체를 가진 점탄성 매질내에서 , 축방향으로 분극되어 조화 운동을 하는 탄성파의 전파에 관하여 연구하였다. 다중 산란에 관한 이론으 이용하여 매질내에서의 파동전파 특성을 내포하는 분산관계식을 얻었다. 다중산란에 의한 실린더간의 상호작용을 수식화하기위하여 필요한 실린더의 쌍분포함수는 몬테카를로 모의 실험을 이용하여 구하였다. 수치적으로 구한 감쇠계수 및 유효전단강성을 주파수와 체적율의 함수로 제시하였다. 또한 감쇠계수의 주파수에 따른 변화에 있어서, 저주파에서는 매질의 점탄성 손실이 지배적이며, 고주파수로 갈수록 다중산란에 의한 손실이 지배적인 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, acceleration techniques for a three dimensional ray tracing method are presented. Ray tracing methods are widely adopted to obtain radio propagation channel models, however calculation times increase with the number of scatters such as buildings, hills and mountains. Various techniques are proposed in combination of ray tube concept.

주파수는 무선 통신 및 방송 등 무선 서비스 제공에 필수적인 매개체로서, 국가에 의해 관리되는 자원이다. 이동 통신을 중심으로 무선 서비스가 지속적으로 발전하고 경제에 미치는 효과가 커짐에 따라 주파수에 대한 수요가 급증하면서 경제적으로 희소성을 띄게 되었다. 이에 흔신 관리에 치중했던 기존의 전파 관리 체계에서 점점 경제적 가치를 고려한 시장 기반의 전파 관리 체계로의 전환에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 시장 기반의 전파 관리 체계에서 주파수 이용자를 선정하는 할당 방식으로 많이 이용되고 있는 것이 주파수 경매제(auction)이다. 주파수 경매제는 주파수 수요자들의 입찰을 통해 주파수의 가격 및 이용자가 결정되는 방식으로 아직 우리나라에서는 시행되지 않고 있으나, 미국, 영국, 독일, 호주 등이 시행하고 었으며, 현재 우리나라도 도입을 검토하고 있는 단계이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 주파수 경매제의 개념 및 장단점, 이론적 배경 등에 대해 살 펴보고 주요국의 경매 정책 및 최근 경매 동향에 대 해 살펴본 후 국내 적용을 위한 시사점을 도출한다.
