In this paper, a $TM_{31}$ higher order mode half circular-ring microstrip antenna with monopole-like radiation characteristic for on-body communication is proposed. By using shorting vias, $TM_{31}$ resonance mode was excited, while achieving compact low-profile antenna with monopole-like radiation characteristics. To overcome the narrow bandwidth of a patch antenna, a C-shape half ring patch with shorting vias having $TM_{31}$ mode is closely located around a half circular patch. For size reduction, half mode is adopted. The proposed antenna has the overall dimensions of $0.25{\lambda}_0{\times}0.46{\lambda}_0{\times}0.025{\lambda}_0$ at the industrial, scientific, and medical(ISM) 2.45 GHz band(2.4~2.485 GHz) and the 10-dB return loss is 4.24 % ranging from 2.38 to 2.49 GHz. To verify body effect, two-thirds muscle equivalent semi solid phantom was fabricated and used to measure the antenna performance. A communication link is analysed to investigate the effect of human-body movements and antenna locations.

IEEE 802.16e specifies two different power saving modes(PSM). One is sleep mode and the other is idle mode. These modes are different in that whether a mobile node maintains its state information with the serving base station or not. This difference results in different efficiency in consuming battery power of a mobile terminal. Therefore, it becomes important to analyze the performance of each power saving mode considering the parameters affecting the power consumption. In this paper, we propose a performance modeling framework of sleep mode and idle mode in terms of power saving efficiency. The analytical results are verified by computer simulations that idle mode is superior to sleep mode in power consumption of mobile node.

다중모드간섭을 이용한 소자는 집적광학에서 광신호의 분리와 결합에 있어서 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 소자는 편광상태와 파장에 덜 민감하며, 광 대역폭과 제작 허용오차가 크다는 장점을 가진다. 이러한 다중모드간섭기의 설계에 있어서 간섭기의 폭은 주로 출력단에서의 도파로 폭과 도파로간 간격으로부터 정해져왔다. 본 연구에서는 특별히 광신호의 효율적인 분배를 위해 간섭기의 폭과 관련하여 광 분배기의 손실 및 균일도를 최적화하기 위한 방안을 강구하였으며, 근사적인 이론식에 의한 결과와 비교하였다. (중략)

A geosynchronous Satellite in general, has two momentum management logics to maintain its wheel momentum tin the stable region. The one is applied in order to control accumulative wheel momentum in the momentum dumping mode and the other is utilized in order to control attitude errors during the stationkeeping. In this paper, the momentum management logics are explained for dumping/sationkeeping mode and the logics are verified by simulation on the 3 attitude subsystem.

In this paper, a method is presented for the design of an orthomode transducer(OMT) operating at 21/31GHz frequency bands. A square waveguide is used in the common port while the WR-34 standard rectangular waveguide is used in the straight port. The straight port is connected to the common port via a multi-stage quarter-wave impedance transformer. The side port is coupled to the common port through a slot formed along the center line of the common square waveguide. An impedance transformer is employed to match the impedance of the coupling slot with that of the WR-51 waveguide at the output of the side port. Dimensions of the OMT are iteratively optimized employing the theory of waveguide. The validity of the proposed method is verified by fabricating and testing the designed orthomode transducer.

본 논문에서는 교량의 자유진동 모드의 중첩원리를 이용하여 KTX-교량의 동적상호작용 해석법을 제시한다. 이를 위하여 모드중첩법에 기초한 3차원 교량-차량의 에너지 식으로부터 에너지원리를 적용하여 교량과 차량의 상호작용을 고려할 수 있는 운동방정식을 유도한다. 이때 운동방정식의 해는 Newmark-${\beta}$ 방법을 사용한다. 그리고 궤도의 불규칙성은 FRA의 6등급 분류규정을 고려하여 각 등급별로 고속철도의 열차속도에 따르는 응답을 분석한다. 실제 고속철도에 사용되는 PSC 박스형 교량을 상용프로그램(MIDAS)를 이용하여 모델링하고 그로부터 각 모드별 형상을 얻어내어 본 논문에서 개발한 열차-교량 상호작용 프로그램에 입력하여 상호작용 해석을 수행한다.

H.264/AVC enhances inter-frame coding performance adopting new intra and inter mode prediction in inter-frame motion prediction. H.264 encoder provides performance superior to existing standards with the prediction modes. Instead of enhanced performance, however, both predictions increase complexity of encoder and demand a lot of coding time. This paper proposes a method using local statistics of resultant intra mode, my and mode map to predict inter mode. There are relationship between intra and inter mode, and we can predict inter mode using neighboring macroblocks' resultant mode and motion vector according to the contents of frame. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm reduces encoding time by 31% on average with a negligible loss of PSNR and bitrate.

Nonlinear static procedures (NSPs) basing on the concept of performance based seismic design have become one of the promising procedures for seismic evaluation of buildings. Although it needs much less computational cost compared to nonlinear time history analysis (NTHA), its usages are limited to simple structures by its inherent restriction to structures wherein the fundamental mode dominates the response. Several new nonlinear static procedures (Modal Pushover Analysis; MPA and Improved Modal Pushover Analysis; IMPA) which can consider higher modes effect were introduced. Nonetheless, its applicability for complex structures such as cable-stayed bridge has not studied yet. This paper focuses on applicability of nonlinear static procedures for the seismic analysis of cable-stayed bridges. Moreover, reliability indexes which can predict analysis procedure's accuracy are introduced.

In this paper, high efficiency amplifier configuration is proposed using the reconfigurable power divider. In order to enhance average efficiency of linear power amplifiers for wireless communication, it is required to increase efficiency in low output power region. The proposed power divider operates in two modes, high power mode and low power mode, according to output power. In each mode, it allows impedance matches and low loss, which is made possible by employing two $\lambda/4$ coupled lines and two switches. The fabricated power divider shows the return loss ($S_{11}$) and insertion loss ($S_{21}$) of -16.49 dB and -0.83 dB, respectively, in low power mode. In high power mode, the measured return loss ($S_{11}$) and insertion loss ($S_{31}$) are -16.28 dB and -0.73 dB, respectively. This result successfully demonstrates the reconfigurability of the proposed power divider.

This study proposes a method of an equivalent bell model in order to tune the beat period of a Korean bell. In a Korean bell having a slight asymmetry, each circumferential mode splits into a mode pair which has a slight difference in frequency, and the interaction of the mode pair makes a beat in vibration and sound. An equivalent bell model which consists of an axi-symmetric bell and an equivalent point mass, has the same mode property as in a real bell. The equivalent bell model is constructed by the finite element analysis based upon the theory of a revolutionary shell. Using the equivalent bell model, the beat period is predicted when the bell thickness is locally decreased to improve the beat property. The predicted result is verified by experiment on a test bell. The proposed method is useful to save the time required for tuning the beat period of a large bell.
