In this paper, we design SSD(simultaneous single band duplex) system using RF(radio frequency) cancellation and digital cancellation. we analyze characteristic of residual self-interference after RF Cancellation signal when error of phase shifter occur in RF cancellation. When phase shifter error of $0^{\circ}$, $0.5^{\circ}$, $1^{\circ}$ and $2^{\circ}$ occur in RF cancellation, residual self-interference signal power after RF cancellation is bigger than desired signal power of distant station. So, it is impossible to receive transmit data of distant station. but we confirm that it is possible to receive transmit data of distant station by digital cancellation with frame structure. Also, in digital cancellation with frame structure, if residual self-interference signal after RF cancellation is too large then LMS algorithm requires more time to estimate self-interference channel. That is, performance degradation occurs because self-interference channel estimation has not completed in estimation frame.

The highly valued ornamental plant, Platycodon grandiflorum for. duplex was generated by petaloidy of a calyx of Platycodon grandiflorum. The present investigation was executed to explore the several factors having effects on the germination of pollens with a view to acquire the underlying data for the artificial crossing to cultivate the species of Platycodon grandiflorum for. duplex. Both low and high temperature impaired the germination of Platycodon grandiflorum for. duplex pollens. The good germination rate was observed at the temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. The types and concentrations of carbon sources induced the differences in germination rate. The germination rate increased with the increasing concentration of sucrose and glucose except for fructose. Sucrose and glucose showed the highest results at the concentration of 20%. While fructose demonstrated the similar tendency to sucrose and glucose, it reduced the germination rate at the concentration of 20%. The highest germination rate was observed at the concentration of 15%. The appropriate carbon course for germination of pollens of Platycodon grandiflorum for. duplex was glucose of which germination rate was twice as high as that of sucrose and fructose. The germination rate was reduced substantially when the pH was close to alkali, and the potential germination rate was obtained at pH 6. Boric acid enhanced the germination rate at a lower concentration than the higher concentration.

A UHF/VHF full-duplex communication using monopole and dipole antenna has been widely used for cube satellite applications. This kind of communication system requires a dedicated structure panel for antenna integration, which is the one of the disadvantages of the conventional communication system from the accommodation point of view considering the extremely limited volume of the cube satellite. In this study, to maximize the accommodation efficiency of the cube satellite, the commercial UHF half-duplex antenna combined with buck converter for communication modes transition has been considered in the communication system design. Its effectiveness has been verified through link budget analysis based on the antenna specifications and satellite's operation conditions. In addition, the antenna deployment mechanism for the synchronous release of multi-antennas has also been introduced.

Duplex STS는 응력부식 저항이 큰 페라이트상과 우수한 내식성을 제공하는 오스테나이트상이 미세하게 1:1로 결합하여 강도가 오스테나이트 STS 보다 최소 1.7배 이상 높을 뿐 아니라 공식(pitting)과 응력부식 저항성이 우수해 최근에 주목받고 있는 고내식 고강도 재료이다. STS의 내식성을 평가하는 여러 지수 중 Pitting에 대한 내식성을 평가하는 지수로서 PREN (Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number)이 있다. PREN =%Cr + 3.3%(Mo + 0.5%W) + 16%N PREN이 30 이상이면 해안지역에서 사용가능하나, PREN이 40 이상인 경우에는 원자력발전소, 탈황 설비, 해수설비 및 화학Plant 등 고내식 환경에서 주로 사용가능하다. PREN이 40 이상인 Super Duplex STS은 다량의 Mo와 N을 첨가하여 만든 제품으로, 최근 10여 년 동안 해수 냉각 설비, 해수 담수화 설비, 탈황 설비, 석유화학 설비 및 원전용 CASK 등의 다양한 분야에 그 사용량이 꾸준히 증가하고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 Super Duplex STS의 TIG용접에서 실드가스 중의 $N_2$의 첨가가 PREN에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 실드가스 중 $N_2$가 용접금속으로 침입하는 메커니즘을 규명하고, 용접조건 변화에 따른 용접금속 내 N의 함량을 측정하여 PREN을 계산하고, 용접금속의 기계적 특성과 미세조직을 검토하였다.

In-band full-duplex (IBFD) wireless communication supports symmetric dual transmission between two nodes and asymmetric dual transmission among three nodes, which allows improved throughput for distributed IBFD wireless networks. However, inter-node interference (INI) can affect desired packet reception in the downlink of three-node topology. The current Half-duplex (HD) medium access control (MAC) mechanism RTS/CTS is unable to establish an asymmetric dual link and consequently to suppress INI. In this paper, we propose a medium access control mechanism for use in distributed IBFD wireless networks, FD-DMAC (Full-Duplex Distributed MAC). In this approach, communication nodes only require single channel access to establish symmetric or asymmetric dual link, and we fully consider the two transmission modes of asymmetric dual link. Through FD-DMAC medium access, the neighbors of communication nodes can clearly know network transmission status, which will provide other opportunities of asymmetric IBFD dual communication and solve hidden node problem. Additionally, we leverage FD-DMAC to transmit received power information. This approach can assist communication nodes to adjust transmit powers and suppress INI. Finally, we give a theoretical analysis of network performance using a discrete-time Markov model. The numerical results show that FD-DMAC achieves a significant improvement over RTS/CTS in terms of throughput and delay.

The substitution of cooling method from water quenching to air cooling after solution heat treatment was aimed for the development of a convenient and economical heat treatment process of duplex stainless steels without deterioration of mechanical and corrosion resistant properties for the industry. In order to achieve this goal, the mechanical properties and corrosion properties of a ASTM A890-4A duplex stainless steel were systematically investigated as functions of casting condition and cooling method after solution heat treatment. A 3-stepped sand mold and a permanent Y-block mold were used to check the effects of solidification structure and cooling rate after solution heat treatment. The microstructural characteristics such as the ferrite/austenite phase ratio and the precipitation behavior of ${\sigma}$ phase and carbides were investigated by combined analysis of OM and SEM-EDX with an aid of TTT diagram. Hardness and tension test were performed to evaluate the mechanical properties. Impact property at $-40^{\circ}C$ and corrosion resistance were also examined to check the possibility of the industrial application of this basic study. Throughout this investigation, air-cooling method was proved to effectively substitute for water-quenching process after the solution heat treatment, when the duplex stainless steel was sand mold cast with a thickness below 15 mm or permanent mold cast with a thickness below 20 mm.

Hyper duplex stainless steels have been developed in Korea for the purpose of application to the seawater system of Korean nuclear power plants. This system supplies seawater to cooling water heat exchanger tubes, related pipes and chlorine injection system. In normal operation, seawater is supplied to heat exchanger through the exit of circulating water pump headers, and the heat exchanged sea water is extracted to the discharge pipes in circulating water system connected to the circulating water discharge lines. The high flow velocity of some part of seawater system in nuclear power plants accelerates damages of components. Therefore, high strength and high corrosion resistant steels need to be applied for this environment. Hyper duplex stainless steel (27Cr-7.0Ni-2.5Mo-3.2W-0.35N) has been newly developed in Korea and is being improved for applying to nuclear power plants. In this study, the physical & mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of newly developed materials are quantitatively evaluated in comparative to commercial stainless steels in other countries. The properties of weld & HAZ (heat affected zone) are analyzed and the best compositions are suggested. The optimum conditions in welding process are derived for ensuring the volume fraction of ferrite(${\alpha}$) and austenite(${\gamma}$) in HAZ and controlling weld cracks. For applying these materials to the seawater heat exchanger, CCT and CPT in weldments are measured. As a result of all experiments, it was found that the newly developed hyper duplex stainless steel WREMBA has higher corrosion resistance and mechanical properties than those of super austenitic stainless steels including welded area. It is expected to be a promising material for seawater systems of Korean nuclear power plants.

Lean duplex stainless steels with 0.087 wt.% gadolinium (Gd) were inert arc-melted and cast in molds of size $10mm{\times}10mm{\times}20mm$. The micro-hardnesses of the rolling direction (RD), transverse direction (TD) and short transverse (ST) direction were $258.5H_V$, $292.3H_V$, and $314.7H_V$, respectively. A 33% cold rolled specimen had the crystallographic texture that (100) pole was mainly concentrated to the normal direction (ND) and (110) pole was concentrated in the center of ND and RD. The corrosion potential and corrosion rate in artificial seawater and $0.1M\;H_2SO_4$ solution were in the range of $105.6-221.6mV_{SHE}$, $0.59-1.06mA/cm^2$, and $4.75-8.25mV_{SHE}$, $0.69-1.68mA/cm^2$, respectively. The friction coefficient and wear loss of the 0.087 w/o Gd-lean duplex stainless steels in artificial seawater were about 67% and 65% lower than in air, whereas the wear efficiency was 22% higher. The corrosion and wear behaviors of the 0.087 w/o Gd-lean duplex stainless steels significantly depended on the Gd phases.

In this paper, we propose a SSD (simultaneous single-band duplex) system using Digital Cancellation. Also, we propose a method for Digital Cancellation when RF Cancellation is effectively performed. The proposed system has estimation frame for effective self-interference channel estimation in time-domain. The proposed system calculates signal power for selection of optimal coefficient after digital cancellation. Then, the proposed system selects coefficient of minimum signal power. Further, the proposed system uses LDPC code to minimize the effects of remaining self-interference signal. The proposed system shows BER performance of at 20dB by cancelling self-interference and iterating LDPC code. That is, the proposed system shows that the SSD communication is possible in static self-interference channel.

In a full-duplex (FD) wireless cellular network, uplink (UL) users induce the severe inter-user interference to downlink (DL) users. Therefore, a user scheduling that makes a pair of DL user and UL user to use the same radio resource simultaneously influences the system performances significantly. In this paper, we first formulate an optimization problem for user scheduling to minimize the occurrence of outage, aiming to guarantee the quality of service of users, and then we propose a suboptimal user scheduling algorithm with low complexity. The proposed scheduling algorithm is designed in a way where the DL user with a worse signal quality has a higher priority to choose its UL user that causes less interference. Simulation results show that the FD system using the proposed user scheduling algorithm achieves the optimal performance and significantly decreases the outage probability compared with the conventional half-duplex cellular system.
