본 논문에서는 INMARSAT-B형 송신기에 사용되는 L-BAND(1626.5-1646.5 MHz)용 3단 가변이득 전력증폭기를 연구 개발하였다. 3단 가변이득 전력증폭기는 구동증폭단과 전력증폭단에 의해 고출력 모드일 때 +42 dBm, 중간출력 모드일 때는 +38 dBm, 저출력 모드일 때는 +34 dBm의 전력으로 증폭되며, 각각에 대해 상한 +1 dBm과 하한 2 dBm의 오차를 허용한다. 제작의 간편성 때문에 전체 3단 가변이득 전력증폭기를 크게 구동증폭단과 전력증폭단 두 부분으로 나누어 구현하였으며, 전력증폭부를 구동하기 위한 구동단은 HP사의 MGA-64135와 Motorola사의 MRF-6401을 사용하였으며, 전력증폭단은 ERICSSON사의 PTE-10114와 PTF-10021을 사용하여 RP부, 온도보상회로, 출력 조절회로 및 출력 검출회로를 함께 집적화 하였다. 이득조절은 디지털 감쇠기를 사용하였으며, 출력신호의 세기를 검출하기 위하여 20 dB 방향성 결합기를 이용하였다. 제작된 3단 가변이득 전력증폭기는 20 MHz대역폭 내에서 소신호 이득이 41.6 dB, 37.6 dB, 33.2 dB 를 얻었으며, 입출력 정재파비는 1.3:1 이하, 12 dBm의 PldB, PldB 출력레벨에서 3 dB Back off 시켰을 때 36.5 dBc의 IM3를 얻었다. 1636.5 MHz 주파수에 대해 출력전력은 43 dBm으로서 설계시 목표로 했던 최대 출력전력 20 Watt를 얻었다.

본 실험은 한우 400두를 공시하여 사양조건에 따른 blood urea nitrogen(BUN)의 농도가 암소의 번식에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며 또한 body condition score(BCS)가 번식효율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 1 화본과 식물이 주종인 초지에서 방목을 하였을 때 BUN의 평균농도는 7.39$\pm$2.65 mg/㎗ 이었으며 발정이 육안적으로 확인된 암소의 58.2%가 4∼8 mg/㎗ 사이에 분포하였으며 수태율도 높은 경향을 보였다. 2.사사기 농후사료를 급여하였을 때 BUN의 평균 농도는 12.36$\pm$2.92 mg/㎗이었으며 8∼14 mg/㎗사이에서 높은 수태율을 보였다. 3. BCS가 2.5∼3.5사이에 있을 때 분만 후 발정재귀가 가장 빠르게 나타났으며 수태율도 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 4. 방목기, 사사기에서 BUN과 BCS상호간의 다소의 차이는 있었으나 유의성은 인정되지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 사양조건에 따라 적정 BUN및 BCS의 수준을 유지할 때 번식의 효율을 증대시킬 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

We have constructed a database of Korean historical astronomical records. The database contains observational data recorded from BC 2183 to AD 1910. We have also built a webpage for searching through the database based on the following criteria: (1) dynasties (2) astronomical phenomena (3) reigning kings (4) references (5) keywords. Users may select two or more dynasties to search through the database for a certain phenomena, and compare data with those of other dynasties. The queried data can be primarily sorted by one critetion, and secondarily sorted by another, each in ascending or descending order. The search results give dates both in Solar and Lunisolar calendars, years and dates in Sexagenary cycle, dynasties, reigning kings, astronomical phenomena, and references. The database and webpage were constructed under the research project of the Korean Astronomical Data Center (KADC, http://kadc.kao.re.kr) in Korea Astronomy Observatory (KAO).

A 40 nm complementary metal oxide semiconductor carrier-aggregated drive amplifier with high linearity is presented for sub-GHz Internet of Things applications. The proposed drive amplifier consists of two high linear amplifiers, which are composed of five differential cascode cells. Carrier aggregation can be achieved by switching on both the driver amplifiers simultaneously and combining the two independent signals in the current mode. The common gate bias of the cascode cells is selected to maximize the output 1 dB compression point (P1dB) to support high-linear wideband applications, and is used for the local supply voltage of digital circuitry for gain control. The proposed circuit achieved an output P1dB of 10.7 dBm with over 22.8 dBm of output 3rd-order intercept point up to 0.9 GHz and demonstrated a 55 dBc adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) for the 802.11af with -5 dBm channel power. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of the wideband carrier-aggregated drive amplifier that achieves the highest ACLR performance.

We design a crisscrossed double-layer birdcage (DLBC) coil by modifying the coil geometry of a standard single-layer BC (SLBC) coil to enhance the homogeneity of transmitting magnetic flux density ($B_1{^+}$) along the main magnetic field ($B_0$)-direction for small-animal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 300 MHz. The performance assessment of the crisscrossed DLBC coil is conducted by computational analysis with the finite-difference time domain method (FDTD) and compared with SLBC coil in terms of the $B_1$ and the $B_1{^+}$ distribution. As per the computational calculation studies, the mean value in the two-dimensional $B_1{^+}$ map obtained at the mid-axial slice with the proposed DLBC coil is slightly lower than that obtained with the SLBC coil, but the $B_1{^+}$ value of the DLBC coil in the outermost plane (40 mm away from the central plane) shows improvements of 19.3% and 24.8% over the SLBC coil $B_1{^+}$ value when simulating a spherical phantom and realistic mouse body modeling. These simulation results indicate that, the $B_1{^+}$ homogeneity along the z-direction was improved by using DLBC configuration. Our approach enables $B_1{^+}$ homogeneity improvement along the zdirection, and it can also be applied to ultra-high field (UHF) MRI systems.

This paper presents a compact K-band Doppler radar sensor for human vital signal detection that uses a radar configuration with only single coupler. The proposed radar front-end configuration can reduce the chip size and the additional RF power loss. The radar front-end IC is composed of a Lange coupler, VCO, and single balanced mixer. The oscillation frequency of the VCO is from 27.3 to 27.8 GHz. The phase noise of the VCO is -91.2 dBc/Hz at a 1 MHz offset frequency, and the output power is -4.8 dBm. The conversion gain of the mixer is about 11 dB. The chip size is $0.89{\times}1.47mm^2$. The compact Ka-band Doppler radar system was developed in order to demonstrate remote human vital signal detection. The radar system consists of a Ka-band Doppler radar module with a $2{\times}2$ patch array antenna, baseband signal conditioning block, DAQ system, and signal processing program. The front-end module size is $2.5{\times}2.5cm^2$. The proposed radar sensor can properly capture a human heartbeat and respiration rate at the distance of 50 cm.

Small-area, low-power coarse and fine frequency detectors (FDs) are proposed for an adaptive bandwidth referenceless CDR with a wide range of input data rate. The coarse FD implemented with two flip-flops eliminates harmonic locking as long as the initial frequency of the CDR is lower than the target frequency. The fine FD samples the incoming input data by using half-rate four phase clocks, while the conventional rotational FD samples the full-rate clock signal by the incoming input data. The fine FD uses only a half number of flip-flops compared to the rotational FD by sharing the sampling and retiming circuitry with PLL. The proposed CDR chip in a 65-nm CMOS process satisfies the jitter tolerance specifications of both USB 3.0 and USB 3.1. The proposed CDR works in the range of input data rate; 2 Gb/s ~ 8 Gb/s at 1.2 V, 4 Gb/s ~ 11 Gb/s at 1.5 V. It consumes 26 mW at 5 Gb/s and 1.2 V, and 41 mW at 10 Gb/s and 1.5 V. The measured phase noise was -97.76 dBc/Hz at the 1 MHz frequency offset from the center frequency of 2.5 GHz. The measured rms jitter was 5.0 ps at 5 Gb/s and 4.5 ps at 10 Gb/s.

The MMIC cascode VCO is designed, fabricated, and measured for Ku-band Low Noise Blcok(LNB) system using InGaP/GaAs HBT technology. The phase noise of -116.4 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset with output power of 1.3 dBm is obtained at 11.526 GHz by applying 3 V and 11 mA, which is comparatively better characteristics than compared with the different configuration VCOs fabricated with other technologies. The simulated results of oscillation frequency and second harmonic suppression agree with the measured results. The phase noise is improved due to the use of the smallest value of inductor in frequency determining network and the InGaP ledge function of the technology. The chip size of $830\time781\;{\mu}m^2$ is also achieved.

This study examined the effect of environmental alteration and prompts on recycling behavior. An A-B-BC with a control condition design was employed. Subjects in this study were college students, professors, and employees at a university building. After a baseline phase, environmental alteration was I effect in the next phase and both environmental alteration and prompts were in effect in the final phase for the control condition. The environmental alteration consisted of providing four separation containers for the paper cups, cans recyclable paper, and the disposable on each floor in the building. The prompts consisted of providing the information about the importance of environmental preservation and how to separate the materials in the appropriate containers using an information board and pamphlets. The dependent variables were (1) the number of cans collected in can container, (2) the number of paper cups collected in cup container, (3) the rate of correct separation of cans, (4) the rate of correct separation of paper cups, and (5) the weight of disposable. The rates of correct separations of cans and paper cups were obtained by calculating the percentage of thenumber of recyclable cans and paper cups in the corresponding containers. The results indicated that environmental alteration had positive effects on all the dependent variables. Also, when the prompts were added to the environmental alteration, the incremental effect of the prompts was demonstrated. The implications and limitations of theses findings were discussed and the direction of future studies was also proposed.
