This paper presents a dual-mode bias modulator (BM) for complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) power amplifiers (PAs). The BM includes a hybrid buck converter and a normal buck converter for an envelope tracking (ET) mode for high output power and for an average power tracking (APT) mode for low output power, respectively. The dual-mode BM and CMOS PA are designed using a $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process for the 1.75 GHz band. For the 16-QAM LTE signal with a peak-to-average power ratio of 7.3 dB and a bandwidth of 5 MHz, the PA with the ET mode exhibited a poweradded efficiency (PAE) of 39.2%, an EVM of 4.8%, a gain of 19.0 dB, and an adjacent channel leakage power ratio of -30 dBc at an average output power of 22 dBm, while the stand-alone PA has a PAE of 8% lower at the same condition. The PA with APT mode has a PAE of 21.3%, which is an improvement of 13.4% from that of the stand-alone PA at an output power of 13 dBm.

Simultaneous time monitoring observations of $H_2O$ $6_{16}-5_{23}$, SiO J = 1-0, 2-1, 3-2, and $^{29}SiO$ ${\upsilon}=0$, J = 1-0 lines are carried out in the direction of the Mira variable star TX Cam with the Korean VLBI Network single dish radio telescopes. For the first time, the $H_2O$ maser emission from TX Cam is detected near the stellar velocity at five epochs from April 10, 2013 (${\phi}=3.13$) to June 4, 2014 (${\phi}=3.89$) including minimum optical phases. The intensities of $H_2O$ masers are very weak compared to SiO masers. The variation of peak antenna temperature ratios among SiO ${\upsilon}=1$, J = 1-0, J = 2-1, and J = 3-2 masers is investigated according to their phases. The shift of peak velocities of $H_2O$ and SiO masers with respect to the stellar velocity is also investigated according to observed optical phases. The $H_2O$ maser emission occurs around the stellar velocity during our monitoring interval. On the other hand, the peak velocities of SiO masers show a spread compared to the stellar velocity. The peak velocities of SiO J = 2-1, and J = 3-2 masers show a smaller spread with respect to the stellar velocity than those of SiO J = 1-0 masers. These simultaneous observations of multi-frequencies will provide a good constraint for maser pumping models and a good probe for investigating the stellar atmosphere and envelope according to their different excitation conditions.

해저의 초음파산란층특성을 정량적으로 검토하기 위한 기초적 연구로서 선체의 동요로 인한 해저 Echo 신호의 파형과 진폭의 변동특성에 관하여 검토를 행한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 해저 Echo 신호의 진폭은 1차 산란신호의 경우가 2차 산란신호보다 매우 불규칙하게 변동하였으나, 신호파형의 등가 Pulse 폭은 2차 산란신호가 1차 산란신호보다 약 2.4배 신장되어 수신되었다. (2) 해저산란파의 Echo Energy 변동은 Peak 진폭의 변동보다 매우 완만하고, 또 선체가 일정 경사각 범위 내에서 불규칙적으로 동요하는 경우, 선체동요에 기인하는 해저 Echo 진폭의 변동성분은 선체경사가 없는 경우에 대한 진폭성분과 서로 분리되어 나타났다. (3) 저질이 모래펄(MS)인 해저의 평균 Energy 산란강도는 -13.4 dB로서 평균 Peak 산란강도 -14.6 dB보다 1.2 dB 큰 값을 나타내었다.

본 논문에서는 직교 주파수분할다중화(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing; OFDM)의 변조된 신호열에서 항상 최소화된 첨두전력 대 평균전력비(peak-to-average power ratio; PAPR)를 보장할 수 있는 블록부호가 제안된다. 제안된 최소 PAPR 부호(minimum PAPR code; MPC) 부호화 과정은 씨앗부호어(seed codeword) 검색, 레지스터 요소의 순회천이(circular shifting), 그리고 비트반전(bit inversion)으로 이루어진다. 시간영역 전송신호열의 첨두 포락선전력(peak envelope power; PEP)이 레지스터에 저장된 부호어의 순회천이와 부호의 비트반전에 대하여 변화되지 않음을 보였다. 이러한 성질에 기반하여 체계적인 MPC 부호화 규칙이 제안되었다. 제안된 부호 규칙으로 MPC 부호화를 위한 조견표(look-up table)의 크기를 대폭 감소시킬 수 있다.

Multi-Code CDMA (MC-CDMA) 방식은 송신 시 여러 채널의 신호를 동시에 선형적으로 합하여 전송하므로 채널수가 증가할수록 신호의 PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio)가 증가하게 되어 증폭기의 비선형 특성에 의해 시스템 성능이 변화한다. 본 논문에서는 다중 레벨 신호에 대한 증폭기의 비선형 왜곡 특성을 분석하고, 증폭기의 비선형 특성에 의한 영향을 최소화하기 위해 다중 레벨 신호를 constant envelope 신호로 변환하는 Multi-Phase CDMA (MP-CDMA) 방식을 제안한다. 또한 다중 레벨 신호의 일정 레벨 이상은 잘라버리는 clipping 방식을 적용함으로써 레벨수의 증가에 따른 성능 저하 및 시스템의 복잡화를 줄이며 이로 인한 시스템 성능의 변화와 요구 전송 속도에 따른 최적의 clipping level을 연구한다.

According to the domestic construction business will continue stagnant, many domestic construction companies are expanding their business into foreign countries. As results, building design guidelines including HVAC design for foreign countries considering the regional climate conditions are needed. Also, green building design strategies to minimize the heating and cooling load are key issue to win a contract in construction business in the world. In this study, peak heating and cooling loads were calculated for the representative cities in the world : Seoul, St. Petersburg, Singapore and Mecca. The analyzed building was a typical high-rise office building and the building envelope properties, indoor heat gain, residence and operating schedules were same in all cases. Only the weather conditions were different by cases.

A field study of wind-induced internal pressures in a flexible and porous industrial warehouse with a single dominant opening, of various sizes for a range of moderate wind speeds and directions, is reported in this paper. Comparatively weak resonance of internal pressure for oblique windward opening situations, and hardly discernible at other wind directions, is attributed to the inherent leakage and flexibility in the envelope of the building in addition to the moderate wind speeds encountered during the tests. The measured internal pressures agree well with the theoretical predictions obtained by numerically simulating the analytical model of internal pressure for a porous and flexible building with a dominant opening. Ratios of the RMS and peak internal to opening external pressures obtained in the study are presented in a non-dimensional format along with other published full scale measurements and compared with the non-dimensional design equation proposed in recent literature.

The paper proposes analytical forms able to represent with very good approximation the constitutive law experimentally deducible by means of uniaxial cyclic compressive tests on material having softening post-peak behaviour in compression and negligible tensile strength. The envelope, unloading and reloading curves characterizing the proposed model adequately approach structural responses corresponding to different levels of nonlinearity and ductility, requiring a not very high number of parameters to be calibrated experimentally. The reliability of the model is shown by comparing the results that it is able to provide with the ones analytically deduced from two reference models (one for concrete, another for masonry) available in the literature, and with experimental results obtained by the authors in the framework of a research in progress.

Column shear failures observed during recent earthquakes and experimental data indicate that shear deformations are typically associated with the amount of transverse reinforcement, column aspect ratio, axial load, and a few other parameters. It was shown that in some columns shear displacements can be significantly large, especially after flexural yielding. In this paper, a piecewise linear model is developed to predict an envelope of the cyclic shear response including the shear displacement and corresponding strength predictions at the first shear cracking, peak strength, onset of lateral strength degradation, and loss of axial-load-carrying capacity. Part of the proposed model is developed using the analysis results from the Modified Compression Field Theory (MCFT). The results from the proposed model, which uses simplified equations, are compared with the column test data.
