OFDM technique uses multiple sub-carriers for the data transmission. Therefore, inter carrier interference is generated because of nonlinear high power amplifier and carrier frequency offset. Wireless OFDM transmission over Doppler fading channels also causes inter carrier interference. The interference increases the bit error rate in receiver. Sub-carrier allocation methods in LTE and WiMAX standards are different. The performance of OFDM systems using different sub-carrier allocation, gauged by the bit error rate, is analyzed considering the nonlinear high power amplifier, carrier frequency offset and Doppler fading channels.

This study was conducted to observe the effects of gravity and infra-gravity wave of detached submerged breakwater in the coast of Yeongnang-dong, Sokcho, as analyzing continuous wave data by performing field observations on the front area (W0) and rear area (W1, W2). Wave transmission coefficient ($K_t$) of submerged breakwater was analyzed in two parts, short-period wave (gravity wave) and infra-gravity wave. The wave energy reduction effect was analyzed and compared with the value of the design. In case of above wave height 2.0 m at the front area (W0) of the submerged breakwater, the short-period wave height at point W1 is reduced by about 65% and the short-period wave height at point W2 is reduced by about 59%. The depth of crest of submerged breakwater conducted in a sea area differs from the design, and the wave energy reduction effect is analyzed to be smaller than the design plan. The infra-gravity waves were amplified to 2.11 and 1.71 at the W1 and W2 points, respectively, and the wave height at W2 point was smaller than that at W1 point.

From 329 earthquake data in the Korean Peninsula, we separated the intrinsic and scattering quality factor ($Q_i^{-1}$ and $Q_s^{-1}$) using the Multiple Lapse Time Window Analysis (MLTW) method. For the homogeneous velocity structure, $Q_i^{-1}$ reduces the amplitudes of both direct and coda waves; $Q_s^{-1}$ diminishes the direct wave amplitude but enlarges the coda wave amplitude. Based on this phenomenon, MLTW method analytically derives theoretical curves and obtains $Q_i^{-1}$ and $Q_s^{-1}$ by least square fit with observation curves. This study is the first approach for the seismic stable region by MLTW method, and show that $Q_i^{-1}$ and $Q_s^{-1}$ in the Korean Peninsula are very low at lower than frequencies of 5 Hz. This low value seems to be related to the inactive tectonism of the Korean Peninsula.

In this paper, high-efficiency DC-AC converter is implemented for the wireless power transmission. The DC-AC converter is implemented by combining the oscillator and power amplifier. Because the conversion efficiency of wireless power transmitter is strongly affected by the efficiency of power amplifier, the high-efficiency power amplifier is implemented by using the Class-E amplifier structure. Also, because the output power of oscillator connected to the input stage of power amplifier is low, high-gain two-stages power amplifier using the drive amplifier is implemented to realize the high-output power DC-AC converter. The dual band harmonic suppression filter is implemented to suppress 2nd, 3rd harmonics of 13.56 MHz. The output power and conversion efficiency of DC-AC converter are 40 dBm and 80.2 % at the operation frequency of 13.56 MHz.

The rip current occurred at Haeundae beach was numerically investigated under directional random wave environment. The numerical simulation was performed using a fully nonlinear Boussinesq equation model, FUNWAVE which is capable of simulating nearshore circulation since it includes the effect of wave-induced momentum flux and horizontal turbulent mixing. The results of numerical simulation show the time-dependent evolution of the wave-induced nearshore circulation system (including rip current) that are caused by nonlinear transformation of directional irregular waves due to unique topography of Haeundae. From the results, it was found that rip current is well generated and developed where relatively lower wave height and relatively deeper water depth along the longshore direction, and sudden and strong events of rip current were observed.

The main objective of this research to develop an IoT based wireless contactless ultrasonic system (ICUS) and its application to concrete structure. The developed system consists of 16 mems, 2Mhz digitizer, amplifying circuit, FPGA, and wifi module, enabling to measure leaky surface waves from concrete specimens without physical coupling process and wires. Multi-channel analysis is performed to improve the accuracy of data analysis, and the velocity of leaky surface waves and acoustics are derived. Field inspection of railroad concrete sleepers is conducted to evaluate the performance of the system and to compare the results with conventional ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV). As a result of the field inspection, UPV was limited to evaluate damages. This is because crack pattern of railroad sleepers is parallel to ultrasonic ray path and accessibility of the railroad at the field is disadvantageous to contact-based UPV. On the other hand, ICUS possibly detect the damages as reduction of dynamic modulus by up to 59% compared to non-damaged specimen.

In the seismic design standard, input waves for different levels of seismic performance are proposed in the form of design response spectra. At the time of establishing these standards, measured records of significant earthquakes that occurred domestically, such as the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake and the 2017 Pohang earthquake, were not included. Additionally, for the ground response analysis, shear wave velocities representing ground amplification characteristics were derived from the results of standard penetration tests (N-values) and applied in empirical formulas. This approach may not adequately capture sufficient information about the characteristics of domestic ground properties. Therefore, in this study, seismic records from the Gyeongju and Pohang earthquakes were modified to adjust the bedrock standard design response spectra. Ground response analyses were conducted using shear wave velocity profiles obtained from borehole tests in the Sejong City area. The shape of the response spectrum and ground amplification coefficient obtained from the ground response analysis were then compared with those from existing studies and seismic design standard.

The amplification method using evanescent wave coupling has a long history and has been widely used as a new lasing method, especially, in the waveguide optics$^{(1)}$ . In particular, it has been observed experimentally that when the light wave propagating in a dielectric medium is totally reflected at the planar interface between the dielectric and a pumped active medium, the reflectance may be greater than unity, i.e., amplification is possible$^{(2)}$ . There were several attempts by other authors to explain this enhanced internal reflection (EIR) classically$^{(3)}$ . They commonly introduced a complex refractive index for the active medium with its imaginary part being negative, and this scheme was also used to describe an amplification process in a waveguide having active-cladding region$^{(4)}$ . However these theories are phenomenological, using macroscopic constants, and therefore a microscopic theory is needed to understand EIR in a fundamental level. (omitted)

이 논문에서는 입력단의 반사전력을 보조증폭기의 입력으로 재활용하여 성능을 향상시킨 새로운 구조의 평형증폭기를 제안한다. 종래의 평형증폭기에서는 입력단 반사파가 터미네이션 처리되었으나, 본 논문의 구조에서는 하이브리드의 격리단자에 연결된 보조증폭기의 입력으로 인가하여 보조증폭기에서 증폭된 신호가 최종출력에서 합쳐져 나타나게 된다. 따라서 기존의 평형증폭기의 출력에 보조증폭기의 출력이 합쳐지게 되므로 본 논문의 평형증폭기 구조는 기존의 평형증폭기 구조에 비하여 전력전력, 전력이득, 효율에서 보다 향상된 결과를 보여준다.
