Concepts of submerged floating tunnels (SFTs) for land connection have been continuously suggested and developed by several researchers and institutes. To maintain their predefined positions under various dynamic environmental loading conditions, the submerged floating tunnels should be effectively moored by reasonable mooring systems. With rational mooring systems, the design of SFTs should be confirmed to satisfy the structural safety, fatigue, and operability design criteria related to tunnel motion, internal forces, structural stresses, and the fatigue life of the main structural members. This paper presents a feasibility study of a submerged floating tunnel moored by an inclined tendon system. The basic structural concept was developed based on the concept of conventional cable-stayed bridges to minimize the seabed excavation, penetration, and anchoring work by applying tower-inclined tendon systems instead of conventional tendons with individual seabed anchors. To evaluate the structural performance of the new type of SFT, a hydrodynamic analysis was performed in the time domain using the commercial nonlinear finite element code ABAQUS-AQUA. For the main dynamic environmental loading condition, an irregular wave load was examined. A JONSWAP wave spectrum was used to generate a time-series wave-induced hydrodynamic load considering the specific significant wave height and peak period for predetermined wave conditions. By performing a time-domain hydrodynamic analysis on the submerged floating structure under irregular waves, the motional characteristics, structural stresses, and fatigue damage of the floating tunnel and mooring members were analyzed to evaluate the structural safety and fatigue performance. According to the analytical study, the suggested conceptual model for SFTs shows very good hydrodynamic structural performance. It can be concluded that the concept can be considered as a reasonable structural type of SFT.

본 논문에서는 분산 소자 형태의 마이너스 군지연 회로를 이용함으로써 피드포워드 증폭기의 효율 개선 및 구현의 용이성을 증대시킬 수 있는 새로운 구조의 피드포워드 증폭기를 제안한다. 피드포워드 증폭기의 지연 소자에 의한 삽입 손실은 심각한 시스템의 효율 저하를 유발한다. 일반적으로 이러한 손실을 줄이기 위하여 고출력 동축 케이블 또는 지연 선로 여파기를 사용하지만, 그러한 소자들의 삽입 손실조차도 무시할 수 없어서 피드포워드 증폭기의 제약 사항으로 작용한다. 제안하는 마이너스 군지연 회로를 이용함으로써 광대역 선형화를 위해 혼변조 왜곡 신호 상쇄 루프에 사용되는 지연 소자를 제거할 수 있다. 중심 주파수가 2.14 GHz인 WCDMA 하향 대역에서 -9 ns의 군지연, 0.2 dB의 삽입 손실, 그리고 30 MHz의 대역폭을 갖도록 제작된 2단 분산 소자 마이너스 군지연 회로를 이용하여 제작된 제안하는 구조의 피드포워드 증폭기는 평균 출력 전력이 44 dBm 일 때 -53.2 dBc의 인접 채널 누설비(Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio: ACLR)를, 19.4 %의 전력 부가 효율(Power Added Efficiency: PAE)을 갖는 것으로 측정되었다.
