Herein, we design a wideband $8{\times}8$ waveguide Butler matrix in order to use in a multi-port amplifiers(MPAs) at Ka-band. To achieve the broadband characteristic, we design a binomial 6-slot 3 dB directional coupler which is used to configure the $8{\times}8$ Butler matrix. The measured results of the fabricated $8{\times}8$ Butler matrix have low insertion loss of less than 0.3 dB, good return loss of over 26 dB and high isolation of over 35 dB within the design bandwidth of 3 GHz.

The purpose of this study is to develop a land use planning model (LUPM) which can be applied to development of rural villages considering their spatial expansion. The LUPM finds out and allocates the new built site required for the improvement of existing villages. in the development of LUPM, CA (cellular automata) and land suitability analysis methods were applied combinedly. The model uses basically numerical data of CIS based on grid data. Agglomerated settlement, as a type of village for simulation, was adopted. Probability of land use change for optimizing development area was calculated by the six criteria: slope. drainage characteristic, direction of slope, as absolute suitability of grid itself, distance from road. distance from stream and distance from the village center, as relative probability by neighborhood cells. Weighting values of these criteria were quantified by AHP (analytic hierarchy process) method, which is one of MCE(multi-criteria evaluation) method. The algorithm of the model was verified by three example villages: an isolation village, a village with horizontal road, and a village with nodal point of cross road

This paper presents new double-sided 3-dB branch-line coupler using CPW-to-Microstrip via-hole transitions for the multi-layer applications. The characteristic impedance is obtained using the even-odd mode method, and the circuit performance Is accurately estimated by the Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD) method. The fabricated double-sided 3-dB branch-line coupler has less than 0.3 dB power dividing imbalance and 1。 phase imbalance, greater than 30 dB isolation, and 25 dB return loss over a 20% bandwidth centered at 2 GHz. Calculated and fabricated results show that this coupler provides better performance as compared to the conventional microstrip branch-line couplers.

In this paper, a triplexer for Advanced Mobile Phone Service(AMPS), United States-Personal Communication Services(US-PCS), and Global Positioning System(CPS) is designed using L and C lumped elements. The triplexer shows the insertion loss of 0.6 ㏈, 1.1 ㏈, and 1.6 ㏈ for AMPS, US-PCS, and GPS bands, respectively. Also, it shows the attenuation characteristic of less than 18 ㏈, and the VSWR of less than 2.0 through the all pass-band.

In this paper, a dual polarized broadband antenna fed by L-shaped strip for the Korea PCS band and W-CDMA band is presented. To analyze the characteristics of the designed antenna, we used commercial simulation tool(HFSS). The designed antenna was fabricated and measured using HP8753D vector network analyzer. The measured impedance bandwidth(VSWR<1.5) is 560 MHz and the measured average gain is 6.56 dBi. The measured isolation characteristic between two ports is -14 dB(min.) $\sim$ -40 dB(max.). These results are proper for the mobile communication application and repeater antenna.

Numerous efforts have been made to isolate immunologically active component from Mori Cortex Radicis, since it has been used in the treatment of bronchial asthma, and immune dis order in human. Recently, we reported the purification of an anti-allergic component of the Mori Cortex Radicis. Among the fractions we prepared in the previous study, a fraction was active in the proliferation of murine lymphocytes. The active component (HHM 3-1) was elucidated as a polysaccharade with a small amount of lignin. When it was subjected to MALDI-MS by using 3-hydroxypicolinic acid as a matrix, the molecular weight of the component was estimated as 792688.2dalton. Total hexose and protein content of the component were estimated as 62.6% and 0.51%, respectively and it was composed mainly of glucose, galactose and mannose. The remaining part of the component was estimated as ligin because of the characteristic functional groups in IR and UV spectra. Concomitant treatment of HHM 3-1 with known mitogens synergistically increased the proliferation of B-cells and T-cells.

In this paper, we propose a new switch structure for time division duplex(TDD) system. The existing TDD structure utilizes a circulator fur isolation characteristic between ports. However, the circulator produces intermodulation distortion signals which are undesired signal because of its nonlinear properties. The proposed circuit is composed of a modified branch-line hybrid coupler which controls the signal flow while the isolated port is open-/short- terminated. In order to prove the validity of the presented structure, the switch circuit is fabricated and measured at 2.3GHz, the center frequency of Wibro service system.

This paper describes the development process of high stiffness body for ride and handling performance. High stiffness and light weight vehicle is a major target in the refinement of passenger cars to meet customers' contradictable requirements between ride and handling performance and fuel economy. This paper describes the analysis approach process for high stiffness body through the data level of body stiffness. According to the frequency band, we can suggest the design guideline about Is cornering static stiffness, torsional and lateral stiffness, body attachment stiffness. The ride and handling characteristic of a vehicle is significantly affected by vibration transferred to the body through the chassis mounting points from front and rear suspension. It is known that body attachment stiffness is an important factor of ride and handling performance improvement. And high stiffness helps to improve the flexibility of bushing rate tuning between Handling and road noise. It makes it possible to design the good handling performance vehicle at initial design stage and save vehicles to be used in tests by using mother car at initial design stage. These improvements can lead to shortening the time needed to develop better vehicles.

This paper aims to develop an SMPS topology for handling a high range of input voltages based on a DC-DC flyback converter circuit. For this purpose, 2 capacitors of the same specifications were serially connected on the input terminal side, with a flyback converter of the same circuit configuration serially connected to each of them, so as to achieve high input voltage and an effect of dividing input voltage. The serially connected flyback converters have the transformer turn ratio of 1:1, so that each coil is used for the winding of a single transformer, which is a characteristic of doubly-fed configuration and enables the correction of input capacitor voltage imbalance. In addition, a pulse transformer was designed and fabricated in a way that can achieve the isolation and noise robustness of the PWM output signal of the PWM controller that applies gate voltage to individual flyback converter switches. PSIM simulation was carried out to verify such a structure and confirm its feasibility, and a 100W class stack was fabricated and used to verify the feasibility of the proposed high voltage SMPS topology.

According to Kenneth Frampton, the modern architecture starts to be recognized as the poetics of construction and lays a great weight in its value on the technology of making forms and the inherent meaning in the tectonics. The tectonic connotes not only the technological construction of the architecture but also ontological details as the joint of material and texture. The works of Carlo Scarpa are examples to prove the way how the ontological meanings are exposed in the tectonic form of architecture. The purpose of this study was to analyze the connections between Carlo Scarpa's architectural thoughts and visual logic(schemata) from the characteristic of details in his work during the 1950s to 1970s. Through the analysis, the Italian tradition in the architecture is reinterpreted through isolation and break of recollected montages. Carlo Scarpa makes spatial fragments and aspects of reinterpreting in surroundings and situation with the architectural place in Venezia. As a result, the unique details of his craftsmanship provide lessons on how to reinterpret the traditional architecture. In conclusion, Carlo Scarpa's architecture emphasizes the passage of its perceptive experience aspects as a dis-joint of tectonic forms. It may imply the significance of his philosophical approach, especially to the ontological architecture and tectonics.
