A compact size microstrip antenna element using FR-4 substrate is proposed for use in repeater and base stations. Two stacked patches are aperture-coupled by two split feedlines. Rectangular stubs on the split feedlines are laid under the aperture and have the effect of considerably lowing the magnitude of $S_{11}$ [dB] and broadening impedance bandwidth. The designed structure has been fabricated and measured. Based on 20 dB, the return loss bandwidth is about 16.8% (1.86 GHz~2.20 GHz), which covers the frequency range assigned for IMT-2000 with a large margin. The overall dimension of the proposed antenna structure is 37 mm$\times$41 mm$\times$19mm (very compact). The antenna gain is more than 7.5 dBi over the required frequency range.

In this paper, a novel low phase noise voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) using metamaterial structure and rat race coupler is presented for reducing the phase noise without the reduction of the frequency tuning range. The metamaterial structure has been realized by microstrip square open loop double split ring resonator (SRR). The rat race coupler shows slightly higher transmission compared to a Wilkinson combiner and is, therefore, used instead to improve the performances of VCO. By providing these unique modifications, the proposed push-push VCO has a phase noise of -126.30~-124.83 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz in the tuning range of 5.672~5.800 GHz.

This paper proposes a novel soft starting algorithm by using PWM inverter technique to control an amplitude of the motor starting current at a single-phase induction motor (SPIM). Traditional SPIM starting methods such as a Split-Phase, Capacitor-Start, Permanent-Split Capacitor (PSC), Capacitor-Start Capacitor-Run (CSCR), basically cannot control the magnitude of starting current due to the fixed system structures. Therefore, in this paper, a soft starting algorithm based on a proportional resonant (PR) control with a variable and constant frequency is proposed to reduce the inrush current and starting up time. In addition, a transition algorithm for operation modes is devised to generate a constant voltage and constant frequency (CVCF). The validity and effectiveness of the proposed soft starting method and transition algorithm are verified through experimental results.

Concrete structures such as bridge, pavement, airfield, and offshore structure are normally subjected to repeated load. This paper proposes a failure probability models of concrete subjected to split tension repeated-loads, based on experimental results. The fatigue tests were performed at the stress ratio of 0.1, the loading shape of sine, the frequency of 20Hz, and the stress levels of 90, 80 and 70%. The fatigue test specimen was 150mm in diameter and 75mm in thickness. The fatigue analysis did not include which exceeded 0.9 of statistical coefficient of determination values or did not failure at 2$\times$$10^6$ cycles. The graphical method, the moment method, and maximum likelihood estimation method were used to obtain Weibull distribution parameters. The goodness-of-fit test by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was acceptable 5% level of significance. As a result, the proposed failure probability model based on the two-parameter($\alpha and \mu$) Weibull distribution was good enough to estimate accurately the fatigue life subjected to tension mode.

In this paper, a novel notch resonator is proposed based on Rectangular Split Ring Resonator (RRSS) element. We represented the electrical characteristics for R-SRR elements coupled with microstrip line, and measured result is compared with electromagnetic simulation (HFSS) result. We also solved equivalent circuit for R-SRR element, and also discussed influences of change structural parameters of R-SRR. The size of R-SRR is the most important parameters for frequency tuning. Also we can make tunable resonator form the basic structure. This novel resonator can apply to design of tunable bandpass filter and voltage control oscillator.

We printed a one-dimensional array of metallic wires and a two-dimensional array of metallic split ring resonators on a photo-paper by using a high-dots-per-inch resolution printer and an ink with silver nano-particles. The printed sample sizes are $1.0{\times}1.0cm^2$. The transmission measured by a terahertz time domain spectroscopy system shows that the arrays of wires and split ring resonators could act as polarizers and band-stop filters, respectively, in a terahertz frequency region.

음성코딩 시 성도는 Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) 계수를 이용해서 모델링 한다. 일반적으로 LPC 계수는 양자화와 선형보간 관점에서 유리한 Line Spectral Frequency (LSF) 파라미터로 변경하여 사용한다. 10차 이상의 다차원 LSF 데이터를 벡터 양자화를 이용하여 직접 코딩하게 되면 벡터 내 상관관계 (intra-frame correlation)를 모두 이용할 수 있으므로 rate-distortion 관점에서는 높은 효율을 기대할 수 있다. 하지만, 계산량과 메모리 요구량이 높아져서 실제 코딩 시스템에서는 사용할 수 없게 되므로, 차원을 나누어 압축하는 Split Vector Quantization (SVQ)이 이용된다. 또한, LSF 데이터는 과거 벡터와의 벡터 간 상관관계 (inter-frame correlation)가 높으므로, 이를 이용한 Predictive Split Vector Quantization (PSVQ)이 사용되고 있다. PSVQ는 SVQ 보다 높은 rate-distortion 성능을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 음성 저장 장치를 위한 최적의 PSVQ를 구현하기 위해서 다수의 과거 프레임 정보와의 벡터 간상관관계 (inter-frame correlation)를 고려한 Multi-Frame AR-model 기반 SVQ (MF-AR-SVQ)를 제안하였다. 기존 PSVQ와 비교해 보았을 때, MF-AR-SVQ는 계산량과 메모리 요구량의 큰 증가 없이, 평균 spectral distortion 관점에서 약 1비트의 성능 향상을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 분할 링 공진기(SRR; split-ring resonator)를 이용한 소형 이중 대역 코플래너 도파관 급전 슬롯 안테나에 대한 설계 방법을 연구하였다. 제안된 슬롯 안테나의 이중 대역 동작을 위해 SRR 도체를 직사각형 슬롯 내에 장하하였다. 기존의 직사각형 슬롯에 SRR 도체가 삽입되면 직사각형 루프 영역과 직사각형 슬롯 영역으로 나누어지며, 루프와 슬롯에 의해 각각 주파수 대역이 발생한다. 2.45 GHz WLAN 대역과 3.40-5.35 GHz 대역에서 동작하는 이중 대역 슬롯 안테나를 FR4 기판 상에 $30mm{\times}30mm$ 크기로 제작하였다. 실험 결과, 전압 정재파비 < 2인 대역이 2.38-2.51 GHz, 3.32-5.38 GHz으로 원하는 이중대역에서 동작하는 것을 확인하였고, 이득은 2.45 GHZ에서 1.7 dBi이고 두 번째 대역에서는 2.4-3.2 dBi로 측정되었다.

본 논문은 S-파라미터를 어드미턴스 파라미터로 변환하는 것을 바탕으로 비대칭 분배되면서 동시에 임의의 임피던스로 변환시킬 수 있는 임피던스 변환기를 나타내었다. 회로 해석 방법을 우수/ 기수 모드 방법과 비교하면 본 논문의 파라미터 변환을 통한 방법은 위상 지연 정보와 임의의 포트 임피던스 값을 포함시키고 그리고 비대칭 구조등을 해석하는데 간단함을 알 수 있다. 이 설계 방법의 타당성을 확인하기 위해서 중심주파수 1 GHz에서 3:1의 비대칭 분배비율을 갖고 있고 $50{\Omega}$을 $12.5{\Omega}$ 비율로 변환되는 임피던스 변환기를 설계하였다. 임피던스 변환기를 구현하는 방법은 유도된 수식으로부터 계산된 작은 임피던스 선로를 병렬 오픈스터브가 연결된 전송선로를 사용하여 구현하였고, 이것의 실험 결과는 시뮬레이션 결과와 동일하게 나옴을 확인하였다.

Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) standard has been proposed to separate the baseband signal processing unit from the Radio Frequency (RF) unit at base station system mainly for reducing the cost of base station systems through open-source interfaces between the two units. To satisfy the performance metrics in various scenarios, several fronthaul functional split options were presented by O-RAN. Amongst these options, the split option 7-2x is widely adopted in practical applications due to its excellent trade-off between the required bandwidth and RU overhead. In this paper, we present a hardware implementation of a base station system that is compliant with the Category B of O-RAN split option 7-2x. It consists of O-DU and O-RU implemented with a commercial off-the-shelf Digital Signal Processor and RF transceiver, respectively. The performance of the proposed base station system is evaluated in terms of Bit Error Rate and received signal power as well as the required fronthaul bandwidth. Through various experimental tests, we have observed that the proposed system reduces the fronthaul bandwidth nearly by 89.7% compared to the conventional system that dose not employ the O-RAN standard.
