Multi-layered Waveguide-Below-Cutoff Array(WBCA) used in air duct and water pipe has advantages in manufacturing process as well as flow characteristics. In addition, it is possible to increase the Shielding Effectiveness(SE) by increasing the number of layers. However, since the SE of the multi-layered WBCA can not be predicted by the conventional SE equation, we propose the modified SE equation. The modified SE equation is obtained for both air and arbitrary fluid flowing in a multi-layered WBCA by increasing the number of layers from 2 to 64. In order to confirm the validity, the results of the proposed SE equations are compared with the EM simulation results.

In this paper, the characteristics of a inset fed rectangular microstrip patch antenna for S-band applications is studied. The variations of return loss along inset length and inset width are investigated on the inset fed rectangular microstrip patch antenna. From the investigated results, the optimized inset fed antenna is designed. At the resonant frequency 2.3 GHz, the optimized dimension of the patch is $45.0mm{\times}40.9mm$. The inset length and width are 14 mm and 1 mm, respectively. The designed antenna is fabricated on the substrate which has a dielectric constant and thickness with 2.5 and 0.787 mm. Simulation results are obtained by a 3D EM(Electromagnetic) solver. The resonant frequency and return loss are measured 2.3025 GHz and -21.11 dB, respectively. The measured and simulated results of the fabricated antenna are in good agreement.

RF circuit을 구현하는데 있어서 기판의 전기적 특성을 정확하게 아는 것은 매우 중요하다. 왜냐하면 초고주파로 갈수록 기판의 전기적인 특성이 circuit에 많은 영향을 미치고 이러한 영향을 고려한 circuit를 설계해야 원하는 결과를 얻을 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 현재 사용되고 있는 PI 기판의 전기적인 특성인 유효 유전율과 loss tangent 값을 캐패시터를 이용해 정확하게 측정하고자 했다. 캐패시터의 conductor material은 Cu를 사용하였고 PI 기판의 투께는 25um 를 이용하였다. PI 기판의 유효 유전율은 캐패시터 측정에 의한 data률 EM simulation tool 을 통해 분석한 후 간단한 수식에 의해 구했다. 또한 PI 기판의 loss tangent 값을 구하기 위해 캐패시터의 dissipation factor를 분석하였다. 캐패시터의 dissipation factor는 dielectric loss, AC 저항에 의한 loss, DC 저항에 의한 loss를 포함한다, DC 저항에 의한 loss는 dissipation factor에 차지하는 비율이 낮기 때문에 생략이 가능하다. 하지만 AC 저항에 의한 loss는 주파수에 비례하여 값이 커지게 된다. 따라서 주파수가 올라 갈수록 dissipation factor도 상승하게 되는데 주파수의 전 대역에서 AC 저항에 의한 loss를 보정해주면 dielectric loss를 얻을 수 있다. 추출된 dielectric loss를 통해 PI 기판의 loss tangent 값을 구하였다. 캐패시터를 이용한 PI 기판의 전기적 특성 추출은 간단한 구조를 통해 얻을 수 있기 때문에 다른 재료의 기판의 전기적 특성을 추출하는데도 이용이 용이하다.

This paper proposes a single-input multiple-output (SIMO) self-resonant wireless power transmission system for transmitting power to multiple receivers and the characteristics are simulated and measured. A 600 mm diameter transmission single loop, a 600 mm diameter helical transmission resonant coil, an external diameter 900 mm planar spiral reception resonant coil, and an $80{\times}60mm^2$ flat plate square coil as a receiver are used to form a wireless power transmission system 600 mm away with the table structure. For optimal characteristics, the wireless power transmission coils are designed by EM simulation and equivalent circuit analysis, and the characteristics are simulated and measured. The variation of the efficiency with distance from the center of the spiral resonant coil is analyzed and the measured efficiency is 57% for one receiver and for the two receivers, the efficiency is 37% for each receiver.

A-PET is a quad-head PET scanner developed for use in small-animal imaging. The dimensions of its volumetric field of view (FOV) are $46.1{\times}46.1{\times}46.1mm^3$ and the gap between the detector modules has been minimized in order to provide a highly sensitive system. However, such a small FOV together with the quad-head geometry causes image quality degradation. The main factor related to image degradation for the quad-head PET is the mispositioning of events caused by the penetration effect in the detector. In this paper, we propose a precise method for modelling the system at the high spatial resolution of the A-PET using a LOR (line of response) based ML-EM (maximum likelihood expectation maximization) that allows for penetration effects. The proposed system model provides the detection probability of every possible ray-path via crystal sampling methods. For the ray-path sampling, the sub-LORs are defined by connecting the sampling points of the crystal pair. We incorporate the detection probability of each sub-LOR into the model by calculating the penetration effect. For comparison, we used a standard LOR-based model and a Monte Carlo-based modeling approach, and evaluated the reconstructed images using both the National Electrical Manufacturers Association NU 4-2008 standards and the Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission simulation toolkit (GATE). An average full width at half maximum (FWHM) at different locations of 1.77 mm and 1.79 mm are obtained using the proposed system model and standard LOR system model, which does not include penetration effects, respectively. The standard deviation of the uniform region in the NEMA image quality phantom is 2.14% for the proposed method and 14.3% for the LOR system model, indicating that the proposed model out-performs the standard LOR-based model.

The Precision Aerial Delivery System is an instrument designed to improve the poor landing accuracy of aerial delivery system with conventional circular parachutes, and is equipped with an Airborne Guidance Unit to safely transport supplies to the desired destination. Currently, the landing accuracy of the PADS product is reported as CEP₅₀ 100m and also differs significantly, depending on the actual topography and weather environment. In this study, HILS was constructed based on the 6DOF nonlinear modeling of PADS to analyze the maneuver characteristics of Ram Air Parachute under wind environments. By using the new algorithm a precision soft landing algorithm including Energy Management and Final Approach is designed. HILS results show that it is possible to achieve a precise soft landing within CEP₅₀ 40m, and it can be exploited to develop an actual PADS drop test.

This research discusses the change in radio frequency (RF) characteristics according to the number of Gores on the deployable mesh antennas for potential micro-satellite applications. The deployable type of lightweight mesh antenna can be used for various space missions such as communication/SAR/ SIGINT. In order to implement an ideal curvature of antenna surface, sufficient number of antenna rib structures are required. However, the increase in antenna ribs affects various design factors of the antenna system, especially total system mass, complexity of deployable mechanism and reliability. In this paper, the proper number of ribs for the mesh antenna were derived by comparison of electro-magnetic (EM) simulation results of example of antenna model in accordance with the various number of ribs.

In this paper, we propose a method of near-field analysis for vehicle LF antennas in order to estimate the accurate reading range of a smart key. The LF antenna consists of a ferrite core and a conducting wire which is coated with polyethylene for insulation, and it is mounted at the rear bumper frame of a commercial vehicle. The reading range of a smart key is measured at nine azimuthal directions distributed around the rear bumper, and then, the received power at each maximum reading range is measured by using a spectrum analyzer. The measurement shows that the maximum reading range exists between 1.38 m and 1.53 m, and the radiated power is between -83.6 dBmW and -75.0 dBmW. We further conducted EM simulation to estimate the reading range and the received power under the same condition that we applied for the measurement. The results demonstrate that an accurate reading range and received power can be achieved by simulation.

There are various parameter estimation methods for the generalized exponential distribution under progressive type I interval censoring. Chen and Lio (2010) studied the parameter estimation method by the maximum likelihood estimation method, mid-point approximation method, expectation maximization algorithm and methods of moments. Among those, mid-point approximation method has the smallest mean square error in the generalized exponential distribution under progressive type I interval censoring. However, this method is difficult to derive closed form of solution for the parameter estimation using by maximum likelihood estimation method. In this paper, we propose two type of approximate maximum likelihood estimate to solve that problem. The simulation results show the obtained estimators have good performance in the sense of the mean square error. And proposed method derive closed form of solution for the parameter estimation from the generalized exponential distribution under progressive type I interval censoring.

The parallel beam SPECT system acquires projection data by using collimators in conjunction with photon detectors. The projection data of the parallel beam SPECT system is, however, blurred by the point response function of the collimator that is used to define the range of directions where photons can be detected. By increasing the number of parallel holes per unit area in collimator, one can reduce such blurring effect. This approach also, however, has the blurring problem if the distance between the object and the collimator becomes large. In this paper we consider correction methods for artifacts caused by non-circular orbit of parallel beam SPECT with many parallel holes per detector cell. To do so, we model the relationship between the object and its projection data as a linear system, and propose an iterative reconstruction method including artifacts correction. We compute the projector and the backprojector, which are required in iterative method, as a sum of convolutions with distance-dependent point response functions instead of matrix form, where those functions are analytically computed from a single function. By doing so, we dramatically reduce the computation time and memory required for the generation of the projector and the backprojector. We conducted several simulation studies to compare the performance of the proposed method with that of conventional Fourier method. The result shows that the proposed method outperforms Fourier methods objectively and subjectively.
