In this work, we demonstrated a 77 GHz waveguide VCO with transition from WR-12 to WR-10 for anti-collision radar applications. The fabricated waveguide VCO consists of a GaAs-based Gunn diode, a varactor diode, a waveguide transition, and two bias posts for operating as a LPF and a resonator. The cavity is designed for fundamental mode at 38.5 GHz and operated at second hormonic of 77 GHz. The waveguide transition has a 1.86 dB of insertion loss and -30.22 dB of S11 at the center frequency of 77 GHz. The fabricated VCO achieves an oscillation bandwidth of 870 MHz. Output power is from 12.0 to 13.75 dBm and phase noise is -100.78 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency from the carrier.

A low-voltage high-linear bipolar OTA and its application to IF bandpass filter for GSM cellular telephone are presented. The OTA consists of a low-voltage linear transconductor, a translinear current gain cell, and three current mirrors. The bandpass filter is composed of two cascaded identical second-order bandpass filters, which consist of a resistor, a capacitor, and a grounded simulated inductor realized with two OTA's and a grounded capacitor. SPICE simulations using an 8 GHz bipolar transistor-array parameter show that the OTA with a transconductance of 1 mS exhibits a linearity error of less than ${\pm}2%$ over an input voltage range of ${\pm}0.65\;V$ at supply voltages of ${\pm}2.0\;V$. Temperature coefficient of the transconductance is less than $-90ppm/^{\circ}C$. The bandpass filter has a center frequency of 85 MHz and Q-factor of 80. Temperature coefficient of the center frequency is less than $-182ppm/^{\circ}C$. The power dissipation of the filter is 128 mW.

In this paper, a microstrip bandpass filter(BPF) with 3 dB bandwidth of more than 50 % at center frequency of 30 GHz was implemented. The implemented BPF is to be used as ASK(Amplitude Shift Keying) transmission and reception filters in IF band for THz transmitter and receiver capable of 10 Gb/s wireless data transmission. The microstrip BPF with ultra-wideband characteristics was implemented using a stepped-impedance lowpass filter(LPF) and a composite quarter-wave short stubs where the LPF is functioning as attenuating the upper stopband and quarter-wave short stubs is functioning as attenuating the lower stopband. The measured results are as follows; the insertion loss is 0.65 dB at 30 GHz, the stopband characteristics are -10 dB and -16 dB at 10 GHz and 50 GHz, respectively, and the passband flatness is ${\pm}0.5$ dB at 20~40 GHz.

In this paper, forward-wave -3㏈ directional coupler with finite-thickness conductor and asymmetrical coupled lines are designed and experimentally verified using mode-matching based design methodology. Most of studies published in the literatures about the coupled lines are mainly concentrated on the adjustment of coupling amount by changing various geometric configurations. The analysis results in this paper show that thicker metalization requires reduced coupler length in the forward-wave directional coupler composed of asymmetrical coupled lines. Several forward-wave directional -3 ㏈ couplers with finite metalization thickness composed of asymmetrical coupled microstrip lines have been designed in the 5 ㎓ based on proposed design method. The measured data show -4.05㏈∼-4.09㏈ coupling at center frequency which is very closed to design value. The tight coupling has been implemented with accurate design methodology which take mentalization thickness into account.

This paper compared simulation characteristics on the design of center strip by structure simulator with manufacture of 2.6GHz non-reciprocal element. Secures condition that affect in PIMD and confirmed change value of PIMD by change of condition. Implemented non-reciprocal element shows more than 20dB isolation characteristic at center frequency(2,650MHz) and has 0.2dB insertion loss in overall 100MHz operating bandwidth. Return losses of input and output port are measured below -20dB. IMD of non-reciprocal element exhibited superior value when there were no gaps between internal components and when materials having identical substances were used, and it showed an improving tendency when the pressure was increased higher, however, in case of applying pressure higher than a certain level, it results in damages, etc. of the magnet inside and ferrite as well, so then the characteristics of IMD was rapidly increased along with decrease of frequency characteristics.

In this paper, we proposed a microstrip antenna (center frequency 118 MHz) with an omnidirectional radiation pattern that can replace the antennae used in VDB systems in GBAS. First, to obtain an omnidirectional radiation pattern from a microstrip antenna, we constructed a folded antenna. We then designed a miniaturized triple-folded antenna using perturbation effects. Thus we obtained suitable characteristics with a S₁₁ of -13.91dB, -10 dB bandwidth of 1.5 MHz (1.27%) in the center frequency of 118 MHz. Furthermore, in the yz-plane and xy-plane, the component exhibits an omnidirectional radiation pattern, and the size of the antenna achieves miniaturization of 64.2% compared to the reference antenna. Finally, it is suitable as an antenna for VDB systems in GBAS.

Active SAR satellite's main maneuver is roll axis maneuver to change SAR antenna direction. In addition, yaw steering is required to minimize the doppler centroid variation. Thus, it is resonable to assign the torque/momentum capacity mostly to roll axis and then yaw axis. In this case, the pitch axis shows low agility performance. However, due to orbit maintenance, large angle maneuver about pitch axis is sometimes required. In this paper, we study the pitch axis maneuver time reduction through sequential rotation about roll and yaw axis. Since these two axes have high agility performance than pitch axis, maneuver time reduction is possible when large angle rotation about pitch axis is required.

The visual evoked potentials were measured using 19 electrodes attached to the scalp in 5 normal and 4 abnormal subjects during visual stimulation and these data were sampled for computer processing with 500 Hz sampling frequency. The center of potential distributions and its time-dependent locus were estimated from these potential distributions using weighting matrix which was determined by the electrodes' position coordinates. In normal subjects these estimated electrical signals were shown to propagate from the frontal lobe to the occipital lobe of the cortex following the known visual pathway. In abnormal subjects, there were significant differences in these estimated propagation pathway. The relationships among this model, the point source model and the dipole source model were analyzed.

WiBro 기술이 IEEE 802.16e 표준으로 채택되기까지의 과정은 크게, 국내표준이 우선되던 단계(2002. 11$\sim$2004. 6.)와 IEEE 802.16을 중심으로 국제표준에 힘쓰던 단계(2004. 7.$\sim$2005. 12.)으로 나누어서 볼 수 있다. 첫 번째 단계는 정부에 의한 비활성화된 2.3-2.4 GHz WLL용 주파수 대역의 회수 및 활용을 위한 WiBro 개념의 도입부터, ETRI를 중심으로 한 연구개발 프로젝트의 추진, TTA 내의 PG302 프로젝트그룹의 결성 및 적극적 국내표준화 활동을 통한 표준초안의 개발까지의 과정에 해당된다. 이 과정에서 개념의 창출부터, 요구사항의 정의, 방식의 선정, 규격 초안의 개발까지의 과정을 독자적으로 수행하였으며, 독자 기술에 의한 국내 기술의 개발 및 표준화를 바탕으로 국제표준화를 추진하기 위한 꿈과 도전의 시기였다고 할 수 있다. 두 번째 단계는 규모의 경제의 실현 및 국제표준의 중요성에 대한 인식에 따른 IEEE 802.16e를 중심으로 한 국제표준화의 추진을 통한 표준 IPR의 확보 및 시험 규격 등 제반 규격의 정비 등 세계 최초 상용화를 위한 표준선도의 시기였다고 할 수 있다. 나름 아쉬움이 없는 것은 아니나, 우리 힘으로 여러 난관들을 극복하고 상용화 및 IMT-2000 국제표준채택을 통한 세계화의 실현 등을 위한 성숙의 시기였다고 할수 있다. 이제 4세대 이동통신 표준화에서도 대한민국이 주도적인 역할을 수행해야 할 때이다. 좀 더 우리의 역량을 결집하고 발휘할 수 있도록 지혜를 발휘하여야 한다.

The purpose of this study is to compensate for susceptibility and a ferromagnetic body artifact using CFA and TGV on MR Imaging. A total of 30 patients (15 men and 15 women, mean age: 45 years) were performed on head and neck diseases. MR Unit used a 1.5T superconducting magnet (GE medical system, High Density). This study have investigated by changing with CFA and TGV (70, 90, 110, 130, 150) searching for compensation values about susceptibility and a ferromagnetic body artifact in 60 kg standards of body weight (p<0.05). As a quality results, Image qualities were obtained at different score from CFA and TGV (70, 90, 110, 130, $150=3.23{\pm}0.35$, $4.31{\pm}0.02$ $4.23{\pm}0.21$, $5.12{\pm}0.25$, $7.13{\pm}0.72$, $8.31{\pm}0.01$, $5.21{\pm}0.15$, $6.14{\pm}0.08$, $5.23{\pm}0.72$, $5.91{\pm}0.06$, p<0.05). Absolute CNRs (TG, CNRpre, CNRpost) were acquired with (70:$-1.44{\pm}0.11$, $-2.7{\pm}0.04$, 90:$-2.18{\pm}0.42$, $-4.41{\pm}0.43$, 110:$-2.89{\pm}0.43$, $-5.23{\pm}0.02$, 130:$-2.34{\pm}0.05$, $-5.26{\pm}0.01$, 150: $-2.09{\pm}0.08$, $-3.87{\pm}0.12$, p<0.05). In conclusions, this study could be compensated for metal and flow artifacts surrounding the tissues having artifact by changing CFA and TGV.
