A wideband circularly polarized (CP) antenna with a single feed is proposed for use in global navigation satellite systems. Its primary radiation elements are composed of two orthogonal bowtie dipoles, which are equipped with double-printed vacant-quarter rings to allow direct matching of the antenna to a single $50-{\Omega}$ coaxial line and to produce CP radiation. The crossed bowtie dipole is appropriately incorporated with a planar metallic reflector to produce the desired unidirectional radiation pattern as well as to achieve a wideband characteristic in terms of impedance matching and axial ratio (AR) bandwidths. The designed antenna was fabricated and measured. The prototype antenna with an overall 1.2-GHz frequency size of $0.48{\lambda}_o{\times}0.48{\lambda}_o{\times}0.25{\lambda}_o$ produced a measured ${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}$<-10 dB bandwidth of 1.05-1.79 GHz and a measured 3-dB AR bandwidth of 1.12-1.64 GHz. It also showed right-hand CP radiation with a small gain variation (${\pm}0.3dB$) and high radiation efficiency (>93%) over the operational bandwidth.

A power amplifier (PA) for a femto-cell base station should be highly efficient, linear and small. The efficiency for amplification of a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) signal was improved by designing an asymmetric Doherty PA (DPA). The linearity was improved by applying third-order inter-modulation (IM3) cancellation method. A small size is achieved by designing the DPA using GaN MMIC process. The implemented 2-stage DPA delivers a power-added efficiency (PAE) of 38.6% and a gain of 33.4 dB with an average power of 34.2 dBm for a 7.2 dB PAPR 10 MHz bandwidth LTE signal at 2.14 GHz.

As langasite $A_3BC_3D_2O_{14}$ compounds with piezoelectric properties exhibit no phase transition up to the melting point of 1,400-$1,500^{\circ}C$, many high temperature applications are expected for the SAW filter, temperature sensor, pressure sensor, and so on, based on the digital transformation of wider bandwidth and higher-bit rates. It has a larger electromechanical coupling factor compared to quartz and also nearly the same temperature stability as quartz. The $La_3Ga_5SiO_{14}$ (LGS) crystal with the $Ca_3Ga_2Ge_4O_{14}$-type crystal structure was synthesized and the crystal structure was analyzed by Mill et al. It is also an important feature that the growth of the single crystal is easy. In the case of three-element compounds such as $[R_3]_A[Ga]_B[Ga_3]_C[GaSi]_DO_{14}$ (R=La, Pr and Nd), the piezoelectric constant increases with the ionic radius of R. In this study, crystal structures of four-element compounds such as $[A_3]_A[B]_B[Ga_3]_C[Si_2]_DO_{14}$ (A = Ca or Sr, B = Ta or Nb) are analyzed by a single crystal X-ray diffraction, and the mechanism and properties of the piezoelectricity depending on the species of cation was clarified based on the crystal structure.

본 논문에서는 새로운 구조의 이중 대역 feedforward 선형 전력 증폭기(FFW LPA)의 설계 방법을 제안하였다. 현재까지 이중 대역 FFW LPA 설계의 기술적인 어려움은 단일 대역 FFW LPA에서 사용되는 신호 상쇄기를 이중 대역 동작으로 확장시키기가 쉽지 않았다는 점이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이중 대역 동일 군속도 지연 주 신호 상쇄기와 혼변조 왜곡 신호(Intermodulation Distortion: IMD) 상쇄기의 설계 방법, 그리고 이를 이용하여 단일 대역 FFW 기법을 확장한 이중 대역 FFW LPA의 설계 방법을 제안하였다. 제안하는 설계 방식의 효용성을 검증하기 위하여, 동작 대역의 중심 주파수를 기준으로 1.26 GHz 이격된 디지털 셀룰러 대역($f_0=880$ MHz)과 IMT-2000($f_0=2.14$ GHz) 대역 기지국용 이중 대역 feedforward 선형화 시스템을 구현하였다. 각 대역별로 CDMA IS-95A 4FA 신호와 WCDMA 4FA 신호를 인가하여 인접 채널 누설비(Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio: ACLR)의 개선 정도를 측정한 결과, 디지털 셀룰러 대역에서 평균 출력 전력 41.5 dBm일 때 16.52 dB, IMT-2000 대역에서 평균 출력 전력 40 dBm일 때 18.59 dB의 개선 효과를 동시에 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 가유전체 기판구조의 증가하는 유효 유전율 효과를 이용하여 방향성결합기를 소형화하여 설계하는 것에 대하여 기술한다. 방향성결합기는 RF 신호의 크기를 간접적으로 측정하거나 신호전력을 결합하는데 널리 사용되는 회로이다. 가유전체 기판구조는 다수의 도금된 비어홀에 의하여 표준형 기판보다 유효 유전율이 증가하는 특성을 지니는데, 이 특성이 바로 회로 소형화에 이용된다. 한 예로써 2GHz대에서 15dB의 결합계수를 갖는 방향성결합기가 표준형 기판과 가유전체 기판구조에 대하여 각각 설계되고 그 크기가 비교된다. 표준형 회로와 비교할 때, 가유전체 기판구조로 소형화된 방향성결합기는 동일한 성능을 유지하면서도 1/3로 줄어든 회로의 크기를 갖는다. 또한 소형화된 방향성결합기를 제작하여 측정한 성능은 예측 결과와도 매우 유사함을 보여준다. 측정한 성능 결과는 2GHz대에서 -14.62B의 결합도, -24.1dB의 정합도, -0.38dB의 삽입손실 특성을 보여준다.

The radioactive compound sodium $acetate-U-C^{14}$ (C-14 acetate) was administered to two- and four-year-old July and September American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium L.) plants and cuttings. The C-14 acetate uptake was approximately $99\%.$ The autoradiochromatograms suggest that the saponins(panaquilins) isolated by preparative thin-layer chromatography contained impurities, especially those isolated from the leaf and stem extracts. The root and fruit methanol extracts yielded relatively pure saponins. The large amounts of panaquilin B and its proximity to panaquilin C on preparative thin-layer plates resulted in some admixing. The average concentration $(\%$ plant dry weight) of semipurified saponins were high in the leaves $(13.8\%),$ compared to fruits $(9.8\%),\;stems\;(7.9\%)\;and\;roots\;(6.3\%).$ The average percentage of C-14 acetate incorporation into panaquilins was $4.8\%.$ The average percentage of C-14 acetate incorporation into panaquilins B and C was higher $(1.40\%\;and\;1.13\%,$ respectively) than that into panaquilin C, (d), G-1 and G-2 $(0.75\%,\;0.65\%,\;0.13\%\;and\;0.53\%,$ respectively). Panaquilin synthesis may be depending upon the part collection period and age of the plant. The average percentage of C-14 acetate incorporation into panaquilin B is high in roots $(0.58\%)\;and\;stems\;(0.48\%);$ that into panaquilins C and (d) high in leaves $(0.40\%\;and\;0.45\%,$ respectively); and that into panaquilin E high in roots and leaves $(0.55\%\and\;0.50\%,$ respectively). Panaquilin G-2 was synthesized in all parts of plants. The panaquilins appear to be biosynthesized more actively in July than September (exception-panaquilin G-l). Panaquilins B, C and G-1 may be biosynthesized more actively in four-year-old plants and panaquilins (d) and E more actively in two-year-old plants. The results from expectance with cuttings suggest that the panaquilins are synthesized de novo in the above-ground parts of ginseng plants, and that panaquilin G-l may be synthesized de novo in the leaf. It is known from the tissue culture studies that panaquilins are produced by leaf, stem and root callus tissues and callus-root cultures of American and Korean ginseng plants. Panaquilins may actively be synthesized de novo in most any cell or organ of the ginseng plants. It was verified that C-14 acetate was incorporated into the panaxadiol portions of the panaquilins of two-year-old plants (sp. act., 0.56 $m{\mu}Ci/mg$) and four-year-old plants (sp. act., 0.54 $m{\mu}Ci/mg$).

This study investigates the sound properties of fabric frictional sound (SPL, ${\Delta}L$, ${\Delta}f$) according to the film type of PTFE laminated vapor-permeable water-repellent fabrics in order to understand the relationship between SPL and the basic properties of fabrics such as layer, yarn type, and thickness of fiber. This study accesses their mechanical properties and determines how to control them to minimize SPL. Eight PTFE laminated water-repellent fabrics, composed of four different film types (A, B, C, D) and with two different fabrics, were used as test specimens. Frictional sounds generated at 1.21m/s were recorded by using a fabric sound generator and SPLs were analyzed through Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT). The mechanical properties of fabrics were measured by KES-FB. The SPL value was lowest at 74.4dB in film type A and highest as 85.5dB in type D. Based on ANOVA and post-hoc test, specimens were classified into less Loud Group (A, B) and Loud Group (C, D). It was shown that SPL was lower when 2 layer (instead of 3 layer), filament yarn than staple, and thin fiber than thick were used. In Group I, shearing properties (G, 2HG5), geometrical roughness (SMD), compressional properties (LC, RC) and weight (W) showed high correlation with SPL however, elongation (EM) and shear stiffness (G) did with SPL in Group II.

본 논문에서는 WSN(Wireless Sensor Network)에서 복호 후 재전송(Decode-and-forward) 협력통신 방식에서 데이터 전송률이 1/2가 되는 것을 극복하여, 최대전송률이 되는 협력 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 기존의 협력프로토콜 시스템에서는 소스가 두 타임 슬롯 동안 두 데이터를 전송하게 되면 다이버시티 이득은 얻지 못하고, 다이버시티 이득을 얻기 위하여 타임 슬롯을 증가시키면 전송률이 낮아지게 된다. 본 논문의 알고리즘은 각각의 데이터를 직교주파수로 구분하고 좌표회전 기법을 이용하여 최대전송률과 다이버시티 이득을 동시에 얻을 수 있다. 또한, 센서노드와 릴레이의 거리에 따른 성능분석을 하였고 시스템의 성능에 영향을 끼치는 요소들을 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 최적화 시켰다. 최적의 거리 d=0.2에서 BER이 10-2일 때 직접 전송일 경우보다 7dB까지 멀티 홉보다 5dB 정도의 네트워크 전력이 절약되는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 무선 센서네트워크의 전력을 감소시며 데이터 전송률을 증가시키는 시스템을 제안하였다.

This study investigated the effect of oxidized soybean oil in the diet of young chickens on growth performance and intestinal oxidative stress, and indices of intestinal immune function. Corn-soybean-based diets containing 2% mixtures of fresh and oxidized soybean oil provided 6 levels (0.15, 1.01, 3.14, 4.95, 7.05, and $8.97meqO_2/kg$) of peroxide value (POV) in the diets. Each dietary treatment, fed for 22 d, had 6 replicates, each containing 30 birds (n = 1,080). Increasing POV levels reduced average daily feed intake (ADFI) of the broilers during d 1 to 10, body weight and average daily gain at d 22 but did not affect overall ADFI. Concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) increased in plasma and jejunum as POV increased but total antioxidative capacity (T-AOC) declined in plasma and jejunum. Catalase (CAT) activity declined in plasma and jejunum as did plasma glutathione S-transferase (GST). Effects were apparent at POV exceeding $3.14meqO_2/kg$ for early ADFI and MDA in jejunum, and POV exceeding $1.01meqO_2/kg$ for CAT in plasma and jejunum, GST in plasma and T-AOC in jejunum. Relative jejunal abundance of nuclear factor kappa B ($NF-{\kappa}B$) P50 and $NF-{\kappa}B$ P65 increased as dietary POV increased. Increasing POV levels reduced the jejunal concentrations of secretory immunoglobulin A and cluster of differentiation (CD) 4 and CD8 molecules with differences from controls apparent at dietary POV of 3.14 to $4.95meqO_2/kg$. These findings indicated that growth performance, feed intake, and the local immune system of the small intestine were compromised by oxidative stress when young broilers were fed moderately oxidized soybean oil.
