In this study, a compact series-fed center-fed open-stub (SFCFOS) linear array antenna for K-band applications is presented. The antenna is composed of a single-line 10-element linear array. A symmetrical Chebyshev amplitude distribution (CAD) is used to obtain a low sidelobe characteristic against a uniform amplitude distribution (UAD). The amplitude is controlled by varying the width of the microstrip patch elements, and open-ended stubs are arranged next to the last antenna element to use the energy of the radiating signal more effectively. We insert a series-fed stub between two patches and obtain a low mutual coupling for a 4.28-mm center-to-center spacing ($0.7{\lambda}$ at 21 GHz). A prototype of the antenna is fabricated and tested. The overall size of the uniform linear array is $7.04{\times}1.05{\times}0.0563{\lambda}_g^3$ and that of the Chebyshev linear array is $9.92{\times}1.48{\times}0.0793{\lambda}_g^3$. The UAD array yields a ${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}$ < -10 dB bandwidth of 1.33% (20.912-21.192 GHz) and 1.45% (20.89-21.196 GHz) for the CAD. The uniform array design gives a -23 dB return loss, and the Chebyshev array achieves a -30.68 dB return loss at the center frequency with gains of 15.3 dBi and 17 dBi, respectively. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement.

This paper presents a closely spaced two-element folded-dipole-driven quasi-Yagi array with low mutual coupling between adjacent elements. The antenna utilizes a T-junction power divider as the feeding network, with an input impedance of $50{\Omega}$. A microstrip-stub is added to the ground plane in the middle of the two elements to improve the mutual coupling characteristics. The folded dipole driver is connected to a $50{\Omega}$ microstrip line via a broadband microstrip-to-coplanar stripline transition with a quarter radial stub. A mutual coupling of less than -22 dB is measured between two folded-dipole-driven quasi-Yagi antennas with a center-to-center spacing of 30 mm ($0.55{\lambda}_0$ at 5.5 GHz). The proposed quasi-Yagi array yields a measured bandwidth of 4.75~6.43 GHz for the -10 dB reflection coefficient and a gain of 6.14~7.12 dBi within the bandwidth range.

The fabrication and experimentation of multi-channel electrodes which enable detecting and recording of multi-site neuronal signals have been investigated. A multi-channel electrode array was fabricated by depositing 2000${\AA}$ thick Au layer on the 1000${\AA}$ thick Ti adhesion layer on a glass wafer. The metal paths were patterned by wet etching and passivated by depositing a PECVD silicon nitride insulation layer to prevent signals from intermixing or cross-talking. After placing a thin slice of rat cerebellar granule cell in the culture ring located in central portion of the multi-channel electrode plate, a neuronal signal from an electrode which is in contact with the cerebellar granule cell has been detected. It was found that the electrode impedance ranges 200㏀∼1㏁ and the impedance is not changed by cleaning with nitric acid. Also, the impedance is inversely proportion to the exposed electrode area and the cross-talk is negligible when the electrode spacing is bigger than 600$\mu\textrm{m}$. The amplitude and frequency of the measured action potential were 38㎷ and 2㎑, which are typical values. From the experimental results, the fabricated multi-channel electrode array proved to be suitable for multi-site neuronal signal detection for the analysis of a complicated cell network.

본 논문에서는 협대혁 시 역전 통신 시스템의 이론적 ergordic 채널 용량의 수식을 closed-form으로 구한다. 시 역전 통신 방식은 송신단에서 보낸 신호를 시 역전 어레이들이 받아 이를 시간 축에서 역전시켜 데이터와 함께 보내는 통신 방식이다. 본 논문에서는 송신단은 하나의 안테나로 구성되어 있고 시 역전 어레이는 여러 안테나로 구성되어 있고 안테나사이의 간격이 넓어 수신 신호는 독립적이라 가정한다. 또 채널의 변동이 충분히 느려 시역전과정 동안 채널의 변화는 없다고 가정한다. 그리고 채널 페이딩 특성을 Rayleigh와 Ricean이라 가정한다. 수치 해석을 통해 시 역전 통신 방식과 기존의 통신 방식을 비교해서 시 역전 통신의 장, 단점을 논한다.

본 논문에서는 슬롯 판과 도파관의 두 파트로 구성되어 있는 단층 구조의 슬롯 도파관 배열 안테나를 설계하였다. 슬롯 판과 도파관 사이의 전기적인 접촉을 구현하는 것이 대량 생산에 있어 가장 어려운 점이며 이를 위하여 Dumbbell 패치와 초크를 가지는 슬롯 도파관 배열 안테나를 제안하였다. 초크는 슬롯 판과 도파관 사이의 갭에 의해 발생하는 누설 전류를 막아 주지만 도파관 사이에 공간상의 손실이 발생하게 된다 본 논문에서는 Dumbbell 패치를 사용하여 공간상의 손실을 줄일 수 있었고, 16${\times}$16배열 안테나를 제작한 결과 27.2 ㏈의 이득과 45 %의 효율을 얻었다.

In this paper, the compact waveguide slot array antenna for interferometric radar altimeter is proposed. The proposed antenna structure consist of corrugation structure which is applied between each channel to improve isolation, three-channel waveguide slot array antenna and feeder. In addition, to reduce the occurrence of phase ambiguity, the baseline spacing of the three-channel antenna is analyzed and the results are applied to the design. For compact design, reduced height and SMP connector structure are used and the dip brazing method which is the conjugation method after dipping to flux is used for the fabrication of the lightweight antenna. The measurement result of the proposed antenna shows less than 1.41 : 1 (VSWR) and 48.3 dBc (isolation). The antenna gain is higher than 20.2 dBi and the side lobe levels are lower than 18.8 dB (vertical plane) and 10.0 dB (horizontal plane).

As a result of vehicle maintenance of rocker arm shaft for 4-cylinder SOHC engine, failure stress analysis of rocker arm shaft is needed. Because more than 30% of vehicles investigated have been fractured. Failure stress analysis is classified into an naked eyes, microscope, striation and X-ray fractography etc. Failure stress analysis by using striation is already established technology as means for seeking cause of fracture. But, although it is well known that striation spacing corresponds to the crack growth rate da/dN, it is not possible to determine ${\sigma}_{max}\;and\;{\sigma}_{min}$ under service loading only from striation spacing. This is because the value of striation spacing is influenced not only by ${\Delta}K$ but also by the stress ratio R. In the present paper, we determine the stress ratio using orthogonal array and ANOVA, and propose a prediction method of failure stress which is combined with FEM and striation.

Beamforming for underwater acoustic communication is affected by the broadband feature of underwater acoustic communication signal, which has the low center frequency compared to the signal bandwidth. In this paper, the baseband equivalent array signal model is derived and we present computer simulation results for the broadband finite impulse response (FIR) beamformer performance according to the FIR filter order and the tap spacing. If the FIR filter order is increased above the optimum value, the beamformer performance is degraded. Also the tap spacing is related to the optimum FIR filter order.
