In recent years, one of the most remarkable 5G technologies is massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) system which increases spectral efficiency by deploying a large number of transmit-antennas (eg. tens or hundreds transmit-antennas) at base station (BS). However, conventional massive MIMO system using single-polarized (SP) transmit-antennas increases the size of the transmit-array proportionally as the number of transmit-antennas increases. Hence, size reduction of large-scale transmit-array is one of the major concerns of massive MIMO system. To reduce the size of the transmit-array at BS, dual-polarized (DP) transmit-antenna can be the solution to halve the size of the transmit-array since one collocated DP transmit-antenna deploys vertical and horizontal transmit-antennas compared to SP transmit-antennas. Moreover, proposed DP massive MIMO system increases the spectral efficiency by not only in the space domain but also in the polarization domain whereas the conventional SP massive MIMO system increases the spectral efficiency by space domain only. In this paper, the comparative performance of DP and SP massive MIMO systems is analyzed by space division multiple access (SDMA) and space-polarization division multiple access (SPDMA) respectively. To analyze the performance of DP and SP massive MIMO systems, DP and SP spatial channel models (SCMs) are proposed which consider depolarized propagation channels between transmitter and receiver. The simulation results show that the performance of proposed 32 transmitter (Tx) DP massive MIMO system improves the spectral efficiency by about 91% for a large number of user equipments (UEs) compare to 32Tx SP massive MIMO system for identical size of the transmit-array.

Conventional electroexplosive devices (EED) commonly use a very small metal bridgewire to ignite explosive materials i.e. pyrotechnics, primary and secondary explosives. The use of semiconductor devices to replace “hot-wire” resistance heating elements in automotive safety systems pyrotechnic devices has been under development for several years. In a typical 1 amp/1 watt electroexplosive devices, ignition takes place a few milliseconds after a current pulse of at least 25 mJ is applied to the bridgewire. In contrast, as for a SCB devices, ignition takes place in a few tens of microseconds and only require approximately one-tenth the input energy of a conventional electroexplosive devices. Typically, when SCB device is driven by a short (20 $\mu\textrm{s}$), low energy pulse (less than 5 mJ), the SCB produces a hot plasma that ignites explosive materials. The advantages and disadvantages of this technology are strongly dependent upon the particular technology selected. To date, three distinct technologies have evolved, each of which utilizes a hot, silicon plasma as the pyrotechnic initiation element. These technologies are 1.) Heavily doped silicon as the resistive heating initiation mechanism, 2.) Tungsten enhanced silicon which utilizes a chemically vapor deposited layer of tungsten as the initiation element, and 3.) a junction diode, fabricated with standard CMOS processes, which creates the initial thermal environment by avalanche breakdown of the diode. This paper describes the three technologies, discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each as they apply to electroexplosive devises, and recommends a methodology for selection of the best device for a particular system environment. The important parameters in this analysis are: All-Fire energy, All-Fire voltage, response time, ease of integration with other semiconductor devices, cost (overall system cost), and reliability. The potential for significant cost savings by integrating several safety functions into the initiator makes this technology worthy of attention by the safety system designer.

데이터 전송률을 증가시키기 위한 가장 효과적인 방법 중의 하나는 대용량 안테나 기술을 사용하는 것이다. 대용량 안테나 방식에서는 기지국에 수십 또는, 수백 개의 안테나를 설치하고 다중 사용자 기법을 통해 공간 다이버시티 이득을 향상시키는 방식이다. 다중 사용자 기법을 적용하면 사용자간 간섭이 발생하는데, 기존에는 수신기의 복잡도를 줄이고 간섭 신호를 제거하기 위하여 최대 비율 결합기를 사용하였다. 그러나, 동시 전송 단말 개수가 증가하면, 기존 수신기의 성능이 크게 열화되는 현상이 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 본 논문에서는 등록된 단말로부터의 간섭은 완벽하게 제거하고, 등록되지 않은 단말들로부터의 간섭은 줄여주는 검파기를 제안한다. 그리고 나서, 제안하는 검파기의 복잡도를 줄이기 위하여 적응형 검파기를 제안한다. 모의실험을 통하여, 제안하는 검파기가 기존의 검파기보다 더 우수한 비트 오율 성능을 갖는다는 것을 보인다.

Micro-light emitting diode (micro-LED) displays offer numerous advantages such as high brightness, fast response, and low power consumption. Hence, they are spotlighted as the next-generation display. However, defective LEDs may be created due to non-uniform contact loads or LED alignment errors. Therefore, a repair process involving the replacement of defective LEDs with favorable ones is necessitated. The general repair process involves the removal of defective micro-LEDs, interconnection material transfer, as well as new micro-LED transfer and bonding. However, micro-LEDs are difficult to repair since their size decreases to a few tens of micron in width and less than 10 ㎛ in thickness. The conventional nozzle-type dispenser for fluxes and the conventional vacuum chuck for LEDs are not applicable to the micro-LED repair process. In this study, transfer conditions are determined using a micro stamp for repairing micro-LEDs. Results show that the aging time should be set to within 60 min, based on measuring the aging time of the flux. Additionally, the micro-LEDs are subjected to a compression test, and the result shows that they should be transferred under 18.4 MPa. Finally, the I-V curves of micro-LEDs processed by the laser and hot plate reflows are measured to compare the electrical properties of the micro-LEDs based on the reflow methods. It was confirmed that the micro-LEDs processed by the laser reflow show similar electrical performance with that processed by the hot plate reflow. The results can provide guidance for the repair of micro-LEDs using micro stamps.

Recently, flexibility is one of the hottest issues in the field of electronic devices. For flexible displays or solar cells, a development of transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) with flexibility, bendability and foldability is an essential element. Hundreds of nanometers indium-tin-oxide (ITO) films have been widely used and commercialized as a transparent electrode, but their brittleness make them difficulty to apply flexible electronics. Many researchers have been studying for flexible TCEs such as a few layers of graphene sheets, carbon nanotube networks, conductive polymer films and combinations among them. Although gained flexibility, their transmittance and resistivity have not reached those of commercialized ITO films. Metal grids electrode cannot act as TCEs only, but they can be used to lower the resistance of TCEs with few losses of transmittance. However, the possibility of device shortage will be rise at the devices with metal grids because a surface flatness of TCEs may be deteriorated when metal grids are introduced using conventional methods. In our research, we have developed hybrid TCEs, which combined tens of nanometers ITO film and metal grids which are embedded in flexible substrate. They show $13{\Omega}$/${\Box}f$ sheet resistance with 94% of transmittance. Moreover, the sheet resistance was maintained up to 1 mm of bending radius. Also, we have verified that flexible organic light emitting diodes and organic solar cells with the TCEs showed similar performances compared to commercial ITO (on glass substrate) devices.

Response surface methodology (RSM) is one of popular tools to support a systematic improvement of quality of design in the product and process development stages. It consists of statistical modeling and optimization tools. RSM can be viewed as a knowledge management tool in that it systemizes knowledge about a manufacturing process through a big data analysis on products and processes. The conventional RSM aims to optimize the mean of a response, whereas dual-response surface optimization (DRSO), a special case of RSM, considers not only the mean of a response but also its variability or standard deviation for optimization. Recently, a posterior preference articulation approach receives attention in the DRSO literature. The posterior approach first seeks all (or most) of the nondominated solutions with no articulation of a decision maker (DM)'s preference. The DM then selects the best one from the set of nondominated solutions a posteriori. This method has a strength that the DM can understand the trade-off between the mean and standard deviation well by looking around the nondominated solutions. A posterior method has been proposed for DRSO. It employs an interval selection strategy for the selection step. This strategy has a limitation increasing inefficiency and complexity due to too many iterations when handling a great number (e.g., thousands ~ tens of thousands) of nondominated solutions. In this paper, a TOPSIS-based method is proposed to support a simple and efficient selection of the most preferred solution. The proposed method is illustrated through a typical DRSO problem and compared with the existing posterior method.

실시간 동적(Real Time Kinematic) GPS는 실시간으로 높은 정밀도의 위치결정을 가능케 해준다. 만약 미지정수를 구하기 위하여 정수해를 사용한다면 수 mm의 정확도를 얻을 수 있고, 실 수해를 얻는다면 수십 cm 의 정확도를 얻을수 있다. 본 연구에서는 통일 측점에 대해 기존의 재래식 측량기법(Total Station), 정적(Static) 상대측위 GPS기법과 현장 Calibration에 의한 실시간 동적(Real Time Kinematic) GPS기법에 의해 측량을 수행하여 각 기법별 측정의 정확도 등을 비교 분석하여 현장 Calibration에 의한 실시간 동적 (Real Time Kinematic) GPS기법의 정확도를 분석고자 한다. 국소지역에서 기존의 실시간 동적(Real Time Kinematic) GPS방식을 보완한 현장 Calibration에 의한 실시간 동적(Real Time Kinematic) GPS 측량을 수행한 결과, 미지정수해의 고정해를 얻지 못하는 경우를 제외하고는 모두 6cm 이하의 오차가 나타났고, Control Point의 측점수를 3개와 4개로 변화시켜 실시간 동적(Real Time Kinematic) GPS 측량을 수행한 결과 두 측정치의 차이는 최대 3cm로 나타났다. 최종적으로 국소지역에서도 현장 Calibration에 의한 실시간 동적(Real Time Kinematic) GPS기법이 사용가능함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문은 투과성이 좋고 실내 환경에 강건하며, 수십 센티미터(cm) 급의 고정밀 측위가 가능하다는 점에서 주목 받고 있는 IR-UWB(Impulse-Radio Ultra Wideband) 레이더 시스템에서 신호의 특성을 이용한 적응형 다중 목표물 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 목표물에 의해 반사되는 신호는 Peak를 갖는 다는 특성으로 다중의 Peak를 추정하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이러한 알고리즘의 성능을 확인하기 위해서 레이더 앞에 다중 목표물을 두고 기존의 기법과 다중 목표물 추정 알고리즘을 비교하였다. 하나의 송신 안테나와 수신안테나로 목표물들의 위치를 실시간으로 추정한다. 기존의 최고 신호 도출 방식에 비해 추정할 수 있는 수가 늘어나고 다중으로 목표물 도출이 가능하다. 기존의 기법은 하나의 목표물만 추정하다보니 평균 제곱 오차가 1이 나오는 반면 다중 목표물 추정 알고리즘은 약 0.05의 결과가 도출된다. 본 논문에서 제시한 기법은 하나의 IR-UWB 모듈 환경에서 다중의 목표물을 추정 및 응용에 적용할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

Three dimensional finite difference elastic wave model was developed to estimate the feasibility of surface wave applications in geotechnical problems. The wave motions calculated by the developed program in this study shows good agreement with well known analytic solutions. The surface wave motions calculated from layered dam type structure can be interpreted as a infinite layer structure using dispersion curve but it is need a special source of which high energy in frequency band lower than 10 Hz to get information of physical properties in few tens meter deep. The source which has high energy in the low frequency band, however, can give defect on dam and this will make some limitation in real field applications. The dispersion curves calculated from the surface wave motion of homogeneous and center core type dam models will give rise to fatal errors if the conventional infinite layer structure used in their interpretation because the surrounding materials and boundaries of dam make some distortion in dispersion curve of surface wave. So it is strongly recommended to use three dimensional inversion model for correct interpretation and estimation of physical properties of dam materials.
