In this paper, we suggests a Ka-band LNB considering next-generation UHD satellite TVRO. Since Ka-band has grater attenuation than Ku-band in atmosphere, we designed the low-noise down-converter to improve receiving sensitivity and to extend a dynamic range of receiver. It aims to compensate a quality of ultra high definition transmission signal for rainfall. The low-noise block diagram consists of a three-staged amplifier (LNA), band-pass filter for deleting image (BPF), mixer and IF when considering nonlinear characteristics in the receiver RF front end module. Also, we showed a LNB through optimization processes affecting dynamic range directly in receiver FEM. Asa resuly of experiment, the gain of low-noise down-converter show between 58.5dB and 60.7dB, the noise figure has a high characteristic as 1.38dB. Finally, the phase noise of local oscillator is -63.10dBc at 100MHz offset frequency.

A linear analysis method using reduced secant stiffness was developed for inelastic earthquake design of reinforced concrete structures. In the proposed method, the beam-column element and plane element, which are the same as used in conventional elastic analysis, are used for structural modeling. Based on the structural plastic mechanism intended by engineer, the distribution of inelastic members is determined. The secant stiffness of the inelastic members is determined based on the target ductility of the structure. Inelastic strengths of the members are calculated by using linear analysis on the structure modeled with secant stiffness. Plastic rotations in the inelastic members are calculated with the nodal rotations resulting from the secant stiffness analysis. For verification, the proposed method was applied to the inelastic earthquake designs of a moment-resisting frame and a dual system of two dimensions, and also a dual system of three dimensions.

This paper proposes a heuristic optimal solution of multicommodity transportation problem. The proposed algorithm has 3 steps. First the proposed algorithm transforms multicommodity transshipment problem to a general transportation problem, but if the problem is a multicommodity transportation problem, it is not transformed. And the multicommodity is disassembled to a single commodity. Second if it is a multicommodity transportation problem, the algorithm selects the minimum cost according to commodity, on the other hand if it is a multicommodity transshipment problem, the algorithm directly selects the minimum cost based on demand area. And the algorithm assigns carloadings to be satisfied the supply and demand quantity. The algorithm repeats these processes until a given demand quantity is satisfied. Last if it has a condition that is able to reduce the transportation expense, the proposed algorithm controls the assignment quantity of the initial value that got from the step 2. The proposed algorithm was applied to two multicommodity transportation problem and three multicommodity transshipment problem and it got more good result than an existing linear programming method.

The 4th industrial revolution is coming. In order to prepare for the new learning environment with it, we may need digital mathematics textbooks that fully utilize all possible technologies. So various attempts have been made in elementary and middle school mathematics education. However, despite the importance of higher mathematics, we haven't seen a best possible math digital textbooks yet in Korea. In this paper, we introduce our new model of interactive math digital textbook about Linear Algebra/ Calculus/ Differential Equations/ Statistics/ Engineering Math. Especially, this manuscript focuses on our experience of using digital contents and interactive labs for developing a new model for linear algebra digital textbook. We introduce our works on linear algebra digital textbooks which include pdf e-book, web contents, video clips of lectures, interactive lab. Using this linear algebra digital textbook, students can freely use any mobile devices to access diverse learning materials, lessons, and hands-on exercises without any limitations. Also, times saved in the computation, coding, and typing process can be used to have more discussions for deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. This type of linear algebra digital textbook, which contains all interactive free cyber-lab with codes and all lectures for each sections, can be considered as a new model for the next generation of math digital textbook.

In this study, in order to directly evaluate the prestress of the PSC structure, a new sensor module based on the measurement of the deformation of concrete was proposed using hetero-core optical fibers and performance tests were performed. In a hetero-core optical fiber, optical loss occurs when a specific part of the transmission path is bent, and the amount of optical loss changes linearly according to the magnitude of the curvature. In order to confirm the measurement performance of the sensor module and the applicability of the optical fiber, the sensor module was deformed and the light passing through the optical fiber was converted into wattage and measured. It can be seen that the light passing through the optical fiber has a linearity of 0.9333 in relation to the deformation while generating the maximum deformation of 0.5 mm at a rate of 0.12 mm/min in a cylindrical concrete specimen with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 35 cm in which the sensor module is embedded. Based on the results of this experiment, it is judged that it is possible to directly evaluate the prestress of a PSC structure by embedding a sensor module using a hetero-core optical fiber in the structure and measuring the compression deformation in concrete. It is judged that it can be used as useful data for the development of a sheath tube integrated sensor module to be applied to be applied to the girder model experiment.

의료분야의 진단 방사선 장비는 초기의 필름방식 및 카세트에서 진보되어 현재는 디지털방식의 DR (Digital Radiography)이 널리 사용되며 이에 관한 연구개발이 활발히 진행 되고 있다. DR은 일반적으로 직접방식과 간접방식으로 나눌 수 있다. 직접방식의 원리는 X선을 흡수하면 전기적 신호를 발생 시키는 광도전체(Photoconductor)를 사용하여 광도전체 양단 전극에 전압을 인가하여 전기장을 유도한 가운데, X선을 조사하면 광도전체 내부에서 전자-전공쌍(Electron-hole pair)이 생성된다. 이것은 양단에 유도된 전기장의 영향으로 전자는 +극으로, 전공은 -극으로 이동하여 아래에 위치한 하부기판을 통하여 이미지로 변조된다. 간접방식은 X선을 흡수하면 가시광선으로 전환하는 형광체(Scintillator)를 사용하여 조사된 X선을 형광체에서 가시광선으로 전환하고, 이를 Photodiode와 같은 광변환소자로 전기적 신호로 변환하여 방사선을 검출하는 방식을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 직접방식에서 이용되는 광도전체 중 흡수효율이 높고 Mobility가 뛰어난 CdTe를 선정하여 PVD (Physical vapor deposition)방식으로 300 m의 두께를 목표로 하여 증착을 진행하였다. Chamber의 진공도가 $2.5{\times}10^{-2}$ Torr로 도달 시점부터, Substrate와 Boat에 열을 가하였다. Substrate온도는 $350^{\circ}C$, Boat온도는 $300^{\circ}C$도로 설정하여 11시간 동안 진행하였다. Substrate온도는 $303^{\circ}C$, Boat온도는 $297^{\circ}C$도부터 증착이 시작되어 선형적인 증가세 추이를 나타내어 Substrate 및 Boat온도가 설정 값에 도달 하였을 때, $25{\sim}34.4{\AA}/s$ 증착율을 나타내었다. 하부전극의 물질에 따른 CdTe증착 효율성 평가를 진행한 후, 그에 따른 전기적 특성을 알아보았다. 하부전극의 물질로는 ITO (Indium Tin Oxide), Parylene이 코팅 된 ITO, Au, Ag를 사용하였다. 하부전극의 물질 상단에 Thermal Evaporation System을 사용하여 CdTe를 증착한 후, Cdte 상단에 Au를 증착 시켜 민감도(Sensitivity)와 암전류(Dark current)를 측정하였다. 증착 결과 ITO와 Ag상단에 증착시킨 CdTe박막은 박리가 되었고, Au와 Parylene이 코팅 된 ITO에는 CdTe박막이 안정적이게 형성이 되었다. 이 두 샘플에 대하여 동일한 조건으로 민감도와 암전류를 측정 시, Parylene이 코팅된 ITO를 하부전극으로 사용한 CdTe박막은 0.1021 pA/$cm^2$의 암전류와 1.027 pC/$cm^2$의 민감도를 나타낸 반면, Au를 하부전극으로 사용한 CdTe박막은 0.0381 pA/$cm^2$의 암전류와 1.214 pC/$cm^2$의 민감도를 나타내어 Parylene이 코팅된 ITO보다 우수한 전기적 특성을 나타내었다. 따라서 Au는 CdTe박막 증착 시, 하부전극 기판으로서 뛰어난 특성을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The cartesian loop chip which is one of key devices in narrow-band Walky-Talky transmitter using RZ-SSB modulation method was designed and implemented with 0.35 ㎛ CMOS technology. The reduced size and low cost of transmitter were available by the use of direct-conversion and cartesian loop chip, which improved the power efficiency and linearity of transmitter. In addition, low power operation was possible through CMOS technology. The performance test results of transmitter showed -23㏈c improvement of IMD and -30㏈c below suppression of SSB characteristic in the operation of cartesian loop chip (closed-loop). At that time, the transmitting power was about 37㏈m (5W). The main parameters to improve the transmitting characteristic and to compensate the distortion in feed back loop such as DC-offset, loop gain and phase value are interfaced with notebook PC to be controlled with S/W.

A film scanner is one of the input devices for ac acquiring high resolution and high qualify of digital images from the existing optical film. Recently the demand of film scanners have risen for experts of image printing and editing fields. However, due to the nonlinear characteristic of light source and sensor, colors of the original film image do not correspond to the colors of the scanned image. Therefore color correction for the scanned digital image is essential in film scanner. In this paper, neural network method is applied for the color correction to CIE L/sup *//a/sup *//b/sup */ color model data converted from RGB color model data. Also a film scanner hardware with 12 bit color resolution for each R, G, B and 2400 dpi is implemented by using the TMS320C32 DSP chip and high resolution line sensor. An experimental result shows that the average color correction rate is 79.8%, which is an improvement of 43.5% than our previous method, polygonal regression method.

In this paper, we propose a new digital hearing aid circuit that compensates the impaired threshold level changing nonlinearly using a multi-band compensation technique. In the algorithm the hearing frequency range 8kHz is divided into 64 bands which is 125Hz resolution. Each band is controlled finely to compensate the hearing impaired proportional to personal ROM table. The multi-band is introduced using a FFT/IFFT Processor which makes to control in frequency domain. As a result, the proposed circuit is more efficient $15\%$ than a conventional ones such as FIR filter architecture in terms of the compensation gun and accuracy. The hardware size was reduced $65\%$ than a general FFT by pre-handling of the input data.
