홍대용(洪大容, 1731~1783)이 저술한 "담헌서(湛軒書)" 외집 권6의 <주해수용(籌解需用)>에는 수격식 천문시계인 혼상의(渾象儀)에 대한 기록이 나온다. 우리는 홍대용 혼상의에 대한 구조와 작동 메커니즘에 대한 연구를 통해 복원 모델의 개념설계를 진행하였다. 혼상의는 세 개의 환(環)과 2개의 층(層)으로 되어 있다. 외층에 해당하는 환 구조는 자신이 제작한 혼천의인 통천의(統天儀) 구조와 유사하다. 내층에 해당되는 혼상구에는 별자리와 은하수를 그려넣고, 태양과 달의 모습을 구슬 형태로 매달아 천상의 운행 모습을 구현하였다. 통천의는 추동력으로 운행되며, 혼상의는 물에 의한 수격방식으로 운행된다. 홍대용의 수격방식은 조선에서 전통적으로 사용한 동력체계로 중국의 대표적 천문시계인 수운의상대의 동력체계를 간소화시켰다. 혼상의에 대한 기록은 조선시대 수격식 동력체계를 다룬 거의 유일한 문헌기록으로 수격식 작동 메커니즘 연구에 중요한 단서를 제공해 주고 있다.

In this paper, the characteristics of the horn antenna for the high power transfertation system is stuided and several kinds of a horn antenna are compared and finally a conical hem antenna using multi-mode is proposed. In the high power system, the efficiency of power transfer is very important. Therefore the feeding hem of a reflector must have a circular symmetric radiation pattern. And the side lobe must be suppressed to reduce a spillover power loss and interference. By using multi-mode in a circular hem antenna, the whole length can be shorter and the radiation pattern can be adjusted according to the shape and direction of a reflector. This is confirmed by the experiments.

Predistorter linearizer having small size and good efficiency is frequently used in High Power Amplifier linearizer system. In this paper, the amount of IMD signal cancellation according to amplitude and phase of predistorter in predistorter type lincarizer is investigated by new experiment method. In the combining method of predistorter type, IMD signal is combined at the amplifier input port, the magnitude and phase of combining signals cannot be easily expected due to different magnitude and phase of incoming signals. By experiment, it is measured that Predistorter linearizer has lower amount of lMD signal cancellation than thoce of Feedforward linearizer at the same condition (amplitude and phase).

In this paper, a circular dual mode horn with modified aperture is proposed to improve a E/H-plane radiation pattern symmetry of a conventional oversized circular dual mode horn. The proposed antenna consists of a feeding section, a mode generation section and a phase matching section which has aperture shape transition from circle to ellipse or rectangle to improve a E/H-plane radiation pattern symmetry. To compare the performances between the proposed antenna and the convenional circular dual mode horn, the conventional circular dual mode horn and the proposed circular dual mode horn with rectangular aperture are fabricated and researched at 15 GHz. The measured results show that the conventional circular dual mode horn has 3.394 dB difference while the proposed antenna has only 0.539 dB difference between E and H-plane radiation patterns within the -11 dB beamwidth($53^{\circ}$) which is required beamwidth of the feed horn for the maximum aperture efficiency where f/d ratio of reflector antenna is 1.

The purpose of this study is to find directivity characteristics and relative gain of directivity of the wedge horn in conjunction with a projector with varing horn length, horn angle and frequency. The horns are constructed with aluminum plate covered with styrofoam. By using hinges the horn angle could be varied with wide range. Measurements were made over the frequency range of 25 KHz-100 KHz by varing the horn lengths from 5cm to 21cm and the horn angles up to 90 degrees. The followings were the results obtained from the study, 1. As the horn angle increased, the beam width for tile major lobe initially decreased and then increased. At 80 KHz with horn length 21cm the minimum beam widths were obtained with 16 degrees in horizontal plane and 36 degrees in vertical plane. 2. The maximum relative gains of directivity were 4.4 dB in horizontal plane and 3.4 dB in vertical plane when the horn length was 21cm. 3. Beam width was decreased with increasing of frequency. 4. When the mouth apertures were small the major lobes obtained by the experiment agreed with the computed ones, and when the mouth apertures were wide the major lobes by the observed were wide than the computed ones.

Design procedure of corrugated horn antenna for the mm-wave frequency range is presented, and hybrid condition in horn is calculated. In this paper, corrugate profiles of horn which satisfy both transition to balanced hybrid condition and fabrication possibility under the mm-wave short wavelength are obtained. Electromagnetic fields inside horn and corrugation are derived by the cylindrical mode theory. Propagation characteristics in the horn are calculated by the mode impedance matching method with boundary conditions, and radiation fields are obtained by the Kirchhoff-Hyugen principle to the horn aperture fields. A mm-wave corrugated horn antenna which operates on $85{\sim}115GHz$ is fabricated by electric forming method. Measurements show that VSWR is under 1.3:1 over whole band and the half power beamwidth on radiation pattern 9.2, 9.16 and 9.02 degree on 85, 100 and 110 GHz are agree well with theoretical calculation.

In this paper, the array synthesis horn antenna was designed and measured a radiation power after connecting magnetron. The proposed antenna was designed on the basis of the $4{\times}4$ array synthesis horn antenna characteristics. For suppressing a back-lobe, 2 step short-stub structures were attached to synthesis horn aperture upper and lower. The designed antenna has FBR(Front to Back Ratio) of 39.7 dB. HPBW(Half Power Beam Width) of the E-plane and the H-plane are $8.86^{\circ}$ and $7.35^{\circ}$ each in the measurement. For measuring a radiation power of array antenna that use a magnetron, the waveguide adaptor was designed and connected magnetron with horn antenna. Also, microstrip line coupler that replace a dielectric material with an air gap was designed for measuring a high power. As a result, average radiation output power of the $4{\times}4$ array synthesis horn antenna that connect a four magnetrons had a 0.063W.

This paper introduces a novel horn antenna for circular polarization using a planar-type radiator. This antenna can be divided to two parts, microstrip antenna and square horn. The microstrip antenna has the role of feeder and polarizer of the horn antenna, and it is designed to stacked type having metal spacer for high gain, high isolation and wideband characteristic. Using the proposed antenna structure, the horn antenna needs not additional structure such as feeder and polarizer, and the size of it can be considerably reduced. The horn antenna has typical gain of 8dBi and 3-dB axial-ratio bandwidth around 4.9%.This antenna can widely used for various antenna system for mobile and satellite communication using circular polarization expecially in high frequency band.

In this paper, we studied the effect of asymmetrical 3rd order IMD of power amplifier due to changes in modulation frequency on IMD cancellation performance. The phase extraction method for determining asymmetric rate for phase distortion of IMD is proposed and the phase difference between lower and upper 3rd order IMD is measured by this method. The phase compensation circuit to decrease the phase difference is also designed and fabricated. From the measurement results using the phase compensation circuit applied to 5 W RF power amplifier fur PCS applications, the 3rd order IMD cancellation performance can be achieved up to 2-tone spacing 1.5 MHz (phase difference within 10$^{\circ}$).
