미진동 제어라는 분야에 대한 연구는 반도체 산업이 초고도화 및 초정밀화가 진전되고 있는 최근에 들어와 학계보다는 전문 반도체와 TFT-LCD의 미진동제어 관련 엔지니어 그룹과 정밀 장비 제작사를 중심으로 이루어져왔다. 고집적 생산 제품을 가공 및 검사하기 위해서는 가공 선폭 이상의 분해 성능을 가진 고정밀도의 생산 및 검사 장비가 필요하다. 이런 고정밀도 생산 및 검사장비는 내외부로부터 입력되는 진동에 민감한 영향을 받는다. 초기 반도체 산업을 주도한 미국을 중심으로 일부 학자와 반도체 진동 제어를 수행하는 전문연구소에서 작성한 BBN-Criteria는 정밀장비의 용도나 분해능 별로 정리된 진동허용규제치를 지침서로 사용하여 왔다. 그러나 장비의 엄밀한 주파수 특성 및 정밀도 측면에서 불확실한 영역부분을 가지고 있기 때문에 미소한 진동을 제어하는 구조 설계자 관점에서는 불충분한 자료이다. 그리고 주파수 분해능을 가진 진동허용규제치를 제시하는 것이 바람직하지만 대부분의 제작사에서는 그렇지 못하고 있다. 그런 이유에는 장비 개개의 진동허용규제치가 다른 고가의 장비 전량에 대하여 시험을 수행해야 하는 점, 가진(加振)특성, 중량, 크기 등의 진동실험 자체에 어려움 때문이다. 또한 진동실험시 가진주파수의 분해능의 결려에 따른 장비의 동적 특성이 고려되지 않은 불확실한 영역 부분을 포함한 진동허용규제치를 제시함으로서 불확실한 영역부분의 진동 하한치를 진동허용규제치의 상한치로 결정하는 문제로 인하여 진동허용규제치가 더욱 가혹하게 제시되어 건물 구조 설계와 방진의 어려움을 가중시킬 여지가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 어려움 등을 회피하는 방법으로 주파수응답함수(Frequency Response Function, FRF)를 이용하여 정밀장비의 진동허용규제치를 결정하는 간편하면서도 더욱 정밀한 새로운 방법을 모색하였다.

The growing demand to make wireless data services 5G compatible has necessitated the development of an energy-efficient approach for an effective new wireless environment. In this paper, we first propose a cognitive sensor node (CSN) based game theory for deriving energy via a primary user-transmitted radio frequency signal. Cognitive users' time was segmented into three phases based on a time switching protocol: energy harvest, spectrum sensing and data transmission. The proposed model chooses the optimal energy-harvesting phase as the effected factor. We further propose a distributed energy-harvesting model as a utility function via pricing techniques. The model is a non-cooperative game where players can increase their net benefit in a selfish manner. Here, the price is described as a function pertaining to transmit power, which proves that the proposed energy harvest game includes Nash Equilibrium and is also unique. The best response algorithm is used to achieve the green connection between players. As a result, the results obtained from the proposed model and algorithm show the advantages as well as the effectiveness of the proposed study. Moreover, energy consumption was reduced significantly (12%) compared to the benchmark algorithm because the proposed algorithm succeeded in delivering energy in micro which is much better compared to previous studies. Considering the reduction and improvement in power consumption, we could say the proposed model is suitable for the next wireless environment represented in 5G.

This paper presents a Interleaved Buck Converter(IBC) system with Random PWM to reduce electromagnetic noise by harmonics. Swithced mode power supply generally controlled by high switching frequency have a electromagnetic interference(EMI) issue due to the high-voltage/high-current switching to regulate the voltage in buck converter. To solve the problem. we present a novel IBC system with PRBS. IBC system has two active switches with 180 phase difference that controll the cicuit with two PWM signal. IBC system may be disadventageous for the cost due to the addtion of one set of switch, but it has adventages of power distribution, current ripple cancellation, fast transient response, and passive component size reduction. To verify the validity of study, simulation program has been bulit using PSIM and the experimental results of IBC system using RPWM was compared with the conventinal PWM and randomized PWM.

The direction and spectra of underwater sound wave were a remarkable contrast to the sound wave in the air because of the difference of transmissive medium. The linear hydrophone array of passive system has so far been applied to find out the direction and spectra of underwater sound wave from the sources for many purposes. The conventional methods are generally classified into two systems such as, the system which varying frequency responses, other parameters and pattern of signal like an adaptive array controlled by internal feedback, and another system which obtaining maximum of S/N ratio by giving a appropriate delay and a weighting coefficient in the output of each hydrophone. The array device of passive system can easily change the amplitude and the phase of signal by separately controlled hydrophone. And here we introduce a method that the spectral analyzing and the direction finding can be simultaneously carried out using a linear array of hydrophones. By making a circular convolution of output of signal from each hydrophone with appropriate rectangular weighting coefficient on the array, a sharp response of single lobe directivity and the spectral analyzing by time averaging were simultaneously obtained. In tile computer simulation of the array system with the length of 250cm and the interhydrophone distance of l0cm the power levels of sound signals received from given array direction were 16dB higher than those from the other directions when processing with rectangular weightings, and 8dB higher when processing with rectangular sound signals and rectangular weightings.

One of the most important design parameters in a microwave radio transmitting system is to reduce spurious response from the output spectrum of the transmitting system. A Local oscillator (LO) is seldom totally pure and at the least contain some LO harmonic signals. A LO or any oscillator is a transmitter if provided with a suitable radiator, conduction, or leakage path. Where mixer is employed in the output of the LO mixer generated spurs can be increased by RF amplifier. To reduce LO leakage, notch filter or band pass filter has been conventionally used. In this paper, the leakage reduction(LR) signal, which has the same magnitude and the opposite phase with respect to LO leakage signal, is added to the output of mixer of the wireless LAN system. The LO leakage is reduced by 30 dB more than the conventional methods do. The proposed method is potentially suitable for low-cost, reliable, and simple application of monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs)

The purpose of this study was to characterize the impact shock wave and its attenuation, and the kinematic response of the lower extremity's joints to the impact shock during downhill running in which the lower extremity's extensor acts dominantly. For this study, fifteen subjects(mean age:$27.08{\pm}4.39$; mass:$76.30{\pm}6.60$; height:$177.25{\pm}4.11$) were required to run on the 0% grade treadmill and downhill grades of 7%, and 15% in random at speed of their preference. When the participant run, acceleration at the tibia and the sacrum and kinematic data of the lower extremity were collected for 20s so as to provide at least 5 strides for analysis at each grade. Peak impact accelerations were used to calculate shock attenuation between the tibia and sacrum in time domain at each grade. Fast Fourier transformation(FFT) and power spectral density(PSD) techniques were used to analyze impact shock factors and its attenuation in the frequency domain. Joint coordinate system technique was used to compute angular displacement of the ankle and knee joint in three dimension. The conclusions were drawn as fellows: 1. Peak impact accelerations of the tibia and sacrum in downhill run were greater than that of 0% grade run, but no significant between conditions. Peak shock of PSD resembled also in pattern of peak impact acceleration. The wave of impact shock attenuation between the tibia and sacrum decreased with increasing grade, but didn't find a significant difference between grade conditions. 2. Adduction/abduction, flexion/extention, and internal/external rotation of the ankle and knee joints at support phase between grade conditions didn't make much difference. 3. At grade of 7% and 15%, there were relationship between the knee of the flexion/extension movement and peak impact acceleration during heel strike and found also it in the ankle of plantar/dorsiflexion at grade of 15%.

In general, as the amplitude and phase information of the physical layer channel impulse response change rapidly in time and frequency according to the high-speed movement of the vehicles in V2X communication systems, it is difficult to accurately estimate these channels at the receiving end. In order to effectively overcome this problem, midamble-based channel estimation methods in which mid-ambles are periodically inserted into a packet have been recently considered. However, as the number of midambles increases, we suffer from the spectral efficiency loss. To relieve such a loss, in this paper, we propose a new bidirectional averaging channel estimation method that combines the existing data pilot-based channel estimation methods and the mid-ambles. Finally, through the simulation results, we demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the existing mid-amble method in terms of packet error rate with fewer number of mid-ambles.

We report an implementation of the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey at a site that corresponds to a ruined castle. The objective of the survey was to characterise buried archaeological structures such as walls and tiles in Van Khan Tooril's Ruin, Mongolia, by 2D and 3D GPR techniques. GPR datasets were acquired in an area 10mby 9 m, with 10 cm line spacing. Two datasets were collected, using GPR with 500MHz and 800MHz frequency antennas. In this paper, we report the use of instantaneous parameters to detect archaeological targets such as tile, brick, and masonry by polarimetric GPR. Radar polarimetry is an advanced technology for extraction of target scattering characteristics. It gives us much more information about the size, shape, orientation, and surface condition of radar targets. We focused our interpretation on the strongest reflections. The image is enhanced by the use of instantaneous parameters. Judging by the shape and the width of the reflections, it is clear that moderate to high intensity response in instantaneous amplitude corresponds to brick and tiles. The instantaneous phase map gave information about the location of the targets, which appeared as discontinuities in the signal. In order to increase our ability to interpret these archaeological targets, we compared the GPR datasets acquired in two orthogonal survey directions. A good correlation is observed for the alignments of reflections when we compare the two datasets. However, more reflections appear in the north-south survey direction than in the west-east direction. This is due to the electric field orientation, which is in the horizontal plane for north-south survey directions and the horizontally polarised component of the backscattered high energy is recorded.

This study investigated whether joint attention response behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) change in response to musical cues and reinforcing stimulus, and compared them with neurotypically developing (NT) children. The participants included 13 children with ASD and 14 NT children aged between 3 to 5 years. The study established six task conditions, involving cues (verbal vs. musical) for responding to joint attention (RJA) behaviors and reinforcing stimulus (verbal vs. sound vs. musical) for social referencing behaviors. These tasks were presented 12 times with two repetitions each. The results of the study showed that providing musical cues during the RJA phase increased levels of RJA in children with ASD, consistent with prior studies. Subsequently, musical reinforcing stimuli increased the frequency of social referencing behaviors in these children. This indicates that musical stimuli can extend beyond mere sensory cues, helping individuals to understand and respond to social and emotional cues from others. Moreover, these musical stimuli could serve as effective social reinforcement factors for this population.
