In this paper, we design and implement the Combline Bandpass Filters for the satellite transponder by using the least-squares curve-fitting method. The Combline Bandpass Filters are located front of the mixer and behind of it, which is the component of down converter. Comparing with the filters which have $\lambda$/4 resonance length. Combline Filter has wide range of stop-band by using $\lambda$/8. So, it is useful to the satellite transponder owing to its low mass and small size. The filters described are realized as coupled rectangular coaxial transmission lines. The choice of this type is due to the ease of machining and wide variations in coupling coefficients rather than the use of the round rod resonators. We determine 800 MHz bandwidths for the combline bandpass filters. By using Chebyshev filter function, we design and implement 4-pole combline filters.

The paper concerns the description of the step by step development process of the new fixed blade runner called "Mixer" suitable for the uprating of the Francis turbines units installed at the older low head hydropower plants. In the paper the details of hydraulic and mechanical design are presented. Since the rotational speed of the new runner is significantly higher then the rotational speed of the original Francis one, the direct coupling of the turbine to the generator can be applied. The maximum efficiency at prescribed operational point was reached by the geometry optimization of two most important components. In the first step the optimization of the draft tube geometry was carried out. The condition for the draft tube geometry optimization was to design the new geometry of the draft tube within the original bad draft tube shape without any extensive civil works. The runner blade geometry optimization was carried out on the runner coupled with the draft tube domain. The blade geometry of the runner was optimized using automatic direct search optimization procedure. The method used for the objective function minimum search is a kind of the Nelder-Mead simplex method. The objective function concerns efficiency, required net head and cavitation features. After successful hydraulic design the modal and stress analysis was carried out on the prototype scale runner. The static pressure distribution from flow simulation was used as a load condition. The modal analysis in air and in water was carried out and the results were compared. The final runner was manufactured in model scale and it is going to be tested in hydraulic laboratory. Since the turbine with the fixed blade runner does not allow double regulation like in case of full Kaplan turbine, it can be profitably used mainly at power plants with smaller changes of operational conditions or in case with more units installed. The advantages are simple manufacturing, installation and therefore lower expenses and short delivery time for turbine uprating.

In the parer, we design a non-coherent UWB system by adopting the architecture of a simplified asynchronous transmission and the edge-triggered pulse transmission, which makes e system performance independent of the share of the transmitted waveform, robust to multipath channels. The designed non-coherent UWB transceiver architecture has an advantage of the simple realization since any mixer, high-speed correlator, and high-sampling A/D converter are not necessary at the cost of performance degradation of about 3dB. Further, the designed non-coherent UWB transceiver is actually implemented with the wireless CANVAS prototype testbed in short range indoor application environments such as a lecture room. The implemented prototype testbed is proven to offer the data rate of 115kbps on the conditions of Peer-to-Peer(P-to-P) in the indoor channel within the range of about 10m.

The low phase noise and wideband frequency synthesizer has been designed by using YTO. Offset PLL structure is used for reducing a division ratio of feedback loop. The phase noise modeling is applied to optimize loop filter of PLL and YTO module. And DDS is used as reference signal of frequency synthesizer for fine resolution. The fabricated wideband frequency synthesizer has the output frequency of 3.2 GHz to 6.8 GHz, phase noise of -107 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from the carrier and frequency resolution of 1 Hz. The measured phase noise is well agreed with the simulated one.

In this study, we propose a low-noise transceiver for 10GHz motion sensor. The transceiver presented here has a circuit(Hittite HMC908LC5) that is composed of a two way-$0^{\circ}$ power splitter(the 1:2 block) and a $90^{\circ}$ Hybrid. The noise reduction circuit utilizes an LNA followed by an image reject mixer which is driven by an LO buffer amplifier. A modeling and analysis have been pursued using CST MWS. A prototype sensor was manufactured to measure the performance and experimental results show that the proposed sensor is good enough to use for a accurate motion sensor.

A low-cost, high-performance 40 Gb/s clock recovery module using a phase-locked loop(PLL) for a 40 Gb/s optical receiver has been designed and implemented. It consists of a clock recovery circuit, a RF mixer and frequency discriminator for phase/frequency detection, a DR-VCO, a phase shifter, and a hold circuit. The recovered 40 GHz clock is synchronized with a stable 10 GHz DR-VCO. The clock stability and jitter characteristics of the implemented PLL-based clock recovery module has shown to significantly improve the performance of the conventional open-loop type clock recovery module with DR filter. The measured peak-to-peak RMS jitter is about 230 fs. When input signal is dropped, the 40 GHz clock is generated continuously by hold circuit. The implemented clock recovery module can be used as a low-cost and high-performance receiver module for 40 Gb/s commercial optical network.

CFD(computational fluid dynamics) model is developed to simulate direct injection of ammonia gas phase from ammonia transporting materials into the SCR catalyst in the exhaust pipe of the engine with solid SCR. Configurations of one-hole and four-hole nozzle, circumferential type, porous tube type, and the effect of mixer configurations which commonly used in liquid injection of AdBlue are considered for complex geometries. Mal-distribution index related to concentration of ammonia gas, flow uniformity index related to velocity distribution, and pressure drop related to flow resistance are compared for different configurations of complex geometries at the front section of SCR catalyst. These results are used to design the injection system of ammonia gas phase for solid SCR of target vehicle.

본 논문은 Local oscillator의 2차 harmonic 신호를 이용하고 Dual gate FET 형태를 이용한 이중대역 주파수 혼합기 설계에 대한 연구 이다. 기존의 회로 구조는 두 대역을 처리하기 위해 각각 두 개의 국부 발진기와 혼합기를 사용함으로 인하여 구조의 복잡함과 큰 전력 손실이라는 단점을 가지고 있었다. 본 연구는 하나의 주파수 혼합기로 두 개의 대역에서 동시에 적용할 수 있는 Concurrent 이중 대역 설계 연구를 하였다. ISM(Industrial Science Medical) 대역 인 912MHz, 2.45GHz의 RF 입력과 455.5MHz, 1224.5MHz의 LO 입력 신호에서 동일한 IF인 1MHz로 하향변환 했을 때 모의실험 결과 변환이득은 각각 7dB, 12dB로 이고 RF-LO 격리도는 -29dB, -24.7dB가 나왔다. 또한 두 입력 단에서의 반사손실의 -15dB 이상을 얻었다. 또한 각각의 대역에서 잡음지수는 8.5dB, 6.26dB이다.

The development of efficient systems for water quality improvement for water sources such as lakes, dams and reservoirs has become a necessity to provide not only a cleaner and safer water to the urban society, but also to provide a cleaner and safer environment for the aquatic organisms living in lakes, dams and reservoirs. This study concentrates on the outlet design and internal flow analysis of an axial flow pump used in a floating type water treatment system completely powered by renewable energy source. The treatment system is designed to raise water from depths of about 3~5m up to the water surface where it is naturally mixed with air as it is released back to the reservoir. The outlet of a typical axial flow pump is modified to suit the floating type water mixer. The performance of the axial flow pump is studied by investigating the internal flow of the system. Results show that the change in outlet shape does not alter the performance of the original pump at the maximum efficiency point as long as the cross sectional area of inlet is the same as the outlet. The axial pump for floating type water treatment system has good cavitation performance in the whole flow passage.
