본 논문에서는 고 효율 및 고 출력 특성을 가지는 질화갈륨(GaN) 소자를 이용하여 WiMAX 및 LTE System에 사용될 수 있는 DPD용 Pallet Amplifier를 제작하였다. 제작된 Pallet Amplifier는 Pre-drive로써 저 전류의 MMIC를 채택하고, Drive 단과 Main 단에 15W 급과 30W 급의 질화갈륨 소자를 사용 하였으며, 추가적인 효율 개선을 위해 PCB상에 Doherty Structure를 적용함으로써 보다 높은 효율을 구현하였다. 제작된 Pallet Amplifier는 음 전원 Bias 제어 회로, 온도에 따른 Gain 보상회로, Sequence 회로 및 Main 전원 Drop에 따른 보호 회로를 구현하였다. WiMAX Signal을 이용한 Modulation Power 10Watt Test에서 약 36.8~38.3%의 Pallet 효율과 DPD Solution인 TI GC5325SEK DPD Board 사용 시 ACLR은 약 46dBc 이상을 가지는 것으로 측정되었다. 본 논문에서 제작된 Pallet Amplifier는 Upper Band와 Lower Band로 나누어 제작되었던 기존 Pallet Amplifier와 달리 하나의 Pallet Amplifier로 2496~2690MHz에서 모두 사용하면서 종전에 사용되고 있는 Pallet Amplifier에 비해 Size가 최소 10% 이상 축소되어 효율 및 크기 면에서 종전 Pallet Amplifier보다 큰 이점을 갖는다.

Satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images from 1995 to 2001 and field measurements of sea surface wind, sea state, and vertical stratification are used for statistical analyses of internal wave (IW) occurrence and SAR imaging conditions in the northern South China Sea (NSCS). Latitudinal distribution of IW packets shows that 22% of IW packets distributed in the east of $118^{\circ}E$ and 78% of IW packets in the west of $118^{\circ}E$. The yearly distribution of IW occurrence frequencies reveals an interannual variability. The monthly SAR-observed IW occurrence frequencies show that the high frequencies are distributed from April to July and reach a peak in June. The low occurrence frequencies are distributed in winter from December to February of next year. These statistical features are explained by solitary wave dynamics.

This is an investigation for a more electric regional aircraft, considering the ATR 72 aircraft as an example and the electrification of its four double slotted flaps, which were estimated to require an energy of 540 Wh for takeoff and 1780 Wh for landing, with a maximum power requirement of 35.6 kW during landing. An analysis and evaluation of three energy harvesting systems has been carried out, which led to the recommendation of a combination of a piezoelectric and a thermoelectric harvesting system providing 65% and 17%, respectively, of the required energy for the actuators of the four flaps. The remaining energy may be provided by a solar energy harvesting photovoltaic system, which was calculated to have a maximum capacity of 12.8 kWh at maximum solar irradiance. It was estimated that a supercapacitor of 232 kg could provide the energy storage and power required for the four flaps, which proved to be 59% of the required weight of a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery while the supercapacitor also constitutes a safer option.

Existing LDMOS power amplifier that used class-AB and doherty system shows 55% of efficiency in 60MHz narrow band. Because RRH has been applied to power amplifier at base station. It is required that over 100MHz expanded band and more than 60% high efficiency power amplifier. In this paper we designed class-J power amplifier using LDMOS FET which has over 60% high efficiency characteristic in 200MHz. The output matching circuit of designed class-J power amplifier has been optimized to contain pure reactance at second harmonic load and has low quality factor Q. As a measurement result of the amplifier, when we input continuous wave signal, we checked 62~70% of power added efficiency(PAE) in 2.06~2.2GHz including WCDMA frequency as a 10W class-J power amplifier.

Until recently, power amplifiers using LDMOS were Class-AB and Doherty type, and showed 55 % efficiency for narrowband of 60 MHz bandwidth. However, owing to the RRH application of base stations power amplifier module, a bandwidth expansion of at least 100 MHz and high efficiency power amplifiers of at least 60 % power efficiency are required. In this study, a Class-J power amplifier was designed by optimizing an output matching circuit so that the second harmonic load will contain a pure reactance element only and have broadband characteristics by using GaN HEMT. The measurements showed that a 45 W Class-J power amplifier with a power added efficiency of 60~75 % was achieved when continuous wave signals were input at 1.6~2.3 GHz, including W-CDMA application.

Clinical research on acupuncture in cancer care is a new and challenging field in oncology. The results of clinical research will continue to provide clinically relevant answers for patients and oncologists. The evidence currently available has suggested that acupuncture is a safe and effective therapy to manage cancer and treatment related symptoms, while giving patients the ability to actively participate in their own care plan. The article explains the potential benefits of acupuncture and describes the difficulties in studying its effectiveness.

This paper presents the design method and electrical characteristics of a high-efficiency power amplifier for a 50 Watts class repeater applied to a 5G system and used in in-building, subway, and tunnel. GaN was used for the termination transistor of the power amplifier designed here, and intermodulation signals were removed using DPD to satisfy linearity. In addition, in order to handle various requirements such as amplifier gain control and alarm processing required in the 5G system, the microprocessor is designed to exist inside the power amplifier. The amplifier manufactured to confirm the electrical performance of the power amplifier satisfying these conditions satisfied 46.5 dBm and the overall efficiency of the amplifier was 37%, and it was confirmed that it satisfied various alarm conditions and electrical characteristics required by telecommunication companies.

To construct in situ velocity-porosity relationships for oceanic basalt, considering crack features, P- and S-wave velocity measurements on basaltic samples obtained from the eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca Ridge were carried out under confining pressures up to 40 MPa. Assuming that the changes in velocities with confining pressures are originated by micro-crack closure, we estimated micro-crack aspect ratio spectra using the Kuster-$Toks{\ddot{o}}z$ theory. The result demonstrates that the normalised aspect ratio spectra of the different samples have similar characteristics. From the normalised aspect ratio spectrum, we then constructed theoretical velocity-porosity relationships by calculating an aspect ratio spectrum for each porosity. In addition, by considering micro-crack closure due to confining pressure, a velocity-porosity relationship as a function of confining pressure could be obtained. The theoretical relationships that take into account the aspect ratio spectra are consistent with the observed relationships for over 100 discrete samples measured at atmospheric pressure, and the commonly observed pressure dependent relationships for a wide porosity range. The agreement between the laboratory-derived data and theoretically estimated values demonstrates that the velocity-porosity relationships of the basaltic samples obtained from the eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca Ridge, and their pressure dependence, can be described by the crack features (i.e. normalised aspect ratio spectra) and crack closure.
