KASI and NAOJ are making collaborating efforts to implement faster mapping capability into the new 275-500 GHz Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment focal plane array (FPA). Feed horn antenna is one of critical parts of the FPA. Required fractional bandwidth is almost 60 % while that of traditional conical horn is less than 50 %. Therefore, to achieve this wideband performance, we adopted a horn of which the corrugation depths have a longitudinal profile. A profiled horn has features not only of wide bandwidth but also of shorter length compared to a linear-tapered corrugated horn, and lower cost fabrication with less error can be feasible. In our design process the flare region is represented by a cubic splined curve with several parameters. Parameters of the flare region and each dimension of the throat region are optimized by a differential evolution algorithm to keep >20 dB return loss and >30 dB maximum cross-polarization level over the operation bandwidth. To evaluate RF performance of the horn generated by the optimizer, we used a commercial mode matching software, WASP-NET. Also, Gaussian beam (GB) masks to far fields were applied to give better GB behavior over frequencies. The optimized design shows >23 dB return loss and >33 dB maximum cross-polarization level over the whole band. Gaussicity of the horn is over 96.6 %. The length of the horn is 12.5 mm which is just 57 % of the ALMA band 8 feed horn (21.96 mm).

In this study, a direct pattern forming process on a plastic film using ultrasonic vibration energy is investigated. A tool horn containing micro-patterns is attached to an ultrasonic power supply, and is used to press a plastic film with ultrasonic vibration in order to replicate micro-patterns on the surface of the plastic film. To replicate micro-patterns with high accuracy, the tool horn should be designed to allow only the longitudinal vibration, not the transverse vibration. For this purpose, the design of a tool horn is investigated through finite element analysis, from which the resulting natural frequency of the tool horn can be adjusted in the range of the ultrasonic power supply. The analysis result is then reflected on the optimal design and fabrication of the tool horn. The validity of the developed tool horn is discussed through pattern-forming experiments using the ultrasonic vibration of the developed tool horn.

Design methods are presented for a broadband corrugated horn antenna operating X/Ku band (7.25-14.5 CHz). The corrugated horn consists of a circular waveguide taper, a mode converter, a waveguide-to-horn transition, and a hem section. Methods of design are presented for each section. The designed antenna shows excellent characteristics over the entire operating frequency range.

In this paper, the design for the shaped offset cassegrain antenna system combined with corrugated feed horn is presented. First, spherical-mode wave theory is applied to the corrugated conical horn and its radiation patterns are investigated. Using the radiation patterns, design data of the corrugated conical horn are obtained by efficiency investigation of horn antenna. When the investigation is completed, the flare angle and length of the corrugated conical horn is determined. Next, the main and sub-reflector is designed using Snellis law and the conservation principle of energy. Then the uniform direction and energy density of the traveling wave at the aperture of the main-reflector is obtained. The maximum size of the main-reflector is determined by investigation of the illumination and spillover efficiency. Finally, the curvature of the main-reflector is modified to satisfy the condition of the uniform phase. From the calculated efficiencies, the designed site of the main-reflector and sub-reflector, system gain of the shaped offset cassegrain antenna has been obtained 40.5dB in Ka-band frequency. It has better characteristics than the result of SABOR with 39dB gain.

본 연구에서는 초음파 용접기의 진동에너지를 모재에 전달하는 금속 용접용 혼의 형상설계를 위해 해석적 기법을 적용하였으며, 20kHz 영역에서 사용되는 한파장 바 형상을 갖는 용접용 혼의 형상설계를 위해 FEM(Finite Element Method)을 사용하였다. 봉의 종진동 이론을 Ansys APDL(Ansys Parametric Design Language)에 적용하여 혼의 형상을 최적화하였다. 적절한 혼의 형상을 도출하기 위해 진동의 입력면과 출력면의 면적비와 혼의 축방향 길이비를 이용하여 총 25가지의 모델을 설계하였으며, Modal 해석과 Harmonic 해석을 통해 균일한 진동특성을 확보하고자 하였다. 스텝 바혼의 끝단부(팁)의 균일도 90%이상을 확보하기 위해 Harmonic 해석을 통해 길이비, 면적비를 결정하였고 이에 따라 혼의 총길이 130mm, 스텝 길이 65mm, 출력단 면적 28.79mm의 혼을 설계하였다. 설계치수를 바탕으로 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V)-GR5 재료를 이용하여 혼을 제작하였다. 또한, 별도로 구성된 초음파 용접시스템을 이용하여 혼의 끝단부의 진동 진폭률 및 변위특성을 평가하였다. 최적화된 혼의 진폭률은 51%까지 향상됨을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 균일한 종방향 스텝 바혼을 설계하였으며, 끝단부(팁)의 균일도 97.4%이상을 확보하였다.

Ultrasonic metal welding can be used to weld different metals together safely and precisely, without solder, flux and special preparation. Ultrasonic metal welding machine consists of a power supply, a transducer, a booster and a horn. This paper designed the horn needed for Ultrasonic metal welding. The horn has to be designed and manufactured accurately, because measurements such as the shape, length, mass and etc. have effects on the resonant frequency and the vibration mode. The designed horn has the feature of 40,000Hz of nature frequency, and maximizes vibration range in the Tip by resonance in the frequency of ultrasonic wave machine. In this paper, we calculated and analyzed the natural frequency to find the optimal design of the horn that had the amplitude about $12{\mu}m$ by the modal analysis and harmonic analysis using ANSYS. And we analyzed FFT analysis of the manufactured horn.

The horn is a key part of the ultrasonic welder. As the shape, mass and material of a horn have effects on the resonant frequency and the vibration mode in ultrasonic welding, a horn has to be designed and manufactured accurately. In this study, 40kHz band horn was designed and manufactured through the vibration mode and finite element analysis. A result of modal analysis showed that the natural frequency of the horn was 39,794Hz, and the frequency response by a harmonic response analysis was 39,800Hz - close to the intended frequency, 40kHz. In addition, weldability of the developed horn was estimated by welding of two Ni sheets and tensile-shear test of welded samples. It was shown the developed horn could be used in metal sheet welding.
