In this paper, we develop design procedures for carrier tracking loop for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems or other systems of blocked data. In such communication systems, phase error measurements are made infrequent enough to invalidate the traditional loop design methodology which is based on analog loop design. We analyze the degradation in the OFDM schemes caused by the tracking loop and show how the performance is dependent on the rms phase error, where we distinguished between the effect of the variance in the average phase over the symbol and the effect of the phase change over the symbol. We derive the optimal tracking loop including optional delay in the loop caused by processing time. Our solution is general and includes arbitrary phase noise apd additive noise spectrums. In order to guarantee a well behaved solution, we have to check the design against margin constraints subject to uncertainties. In case the optimal loop does not meet the required margin constraints subjected to uncertainties, it is shown how to apply a method taken from control theory to find a controller. Alternatively, if we restrict the solution to first or second order loops, we give a simple loop design procedure which may be sufficient in many cases. Extensions of the method are shown for using both pilot symbols and data symbols in the OFDM receiver for phase tracking. We compare our results to other methods commonly used in OFDM receivers and we show that a large improvement can be gained.

생산지로부터 LNG 선박으로 수송되어 각 생산기지의 저장탱크로 저장되는 액화천연가스 (LNG; Liquified Natural Gas)는 극저은인 Boiling Point보다 약간 낮은 온도 ($-162^{\circ}C$)로 전송된다. LNG 전송은 배관을 통하여 이루어지며, 이로 인하여 배관 내에는 2상 유동 (2-Phase Flow)이 자주 형성된다. 본 연구에서는 일차적으로 이러한 배관내의 2상 유동대한 압력강하량 계산법을 연구하였고, 단열재와 배관 표면을 통한 외부 열유입량과 그에 따른 BOG (Boil-off Gas) 발생량 계산 방법을 연구하여, 이들을 기반으로 LNG 배관시스템의 열유동 해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 또한 본 연구 및 프로그램 개발을 토대로 최적의 단열재 두께와 배관 Size를 구할 수 있는 최적 설계 프로그램을 구축하였다. 이는 배관설계 시 주어진 최대 허용 압력 강하량과 BOG 발생량 등의 허용 운전 조건과, 단위 길이 당 배관가격과 단위 부피당 단열재가격을 기준으로 허용 범위 내의 최소 설비 비용을 찾는 최적 설계 방법이다.

The PLL equivalent augmented system incorporated with state feedback is proposed in this paper. The optimal value of filter time constant of loop filter in the phase-locked loop control system and the optimal state feedback gain designed by using linear quadratic regulator approach are derived. This approach allows the PLL control system to employ the large value of the phase-frequency gain $K_d$ and voltage control oscillator gain $K_o$. In designing, the structure of phase-locked loop control system will be rearranged to be a phase-locked loop equivalent augmented system by including the structure of loop filter into the process and by considering the voltage control oscillator as an additional integrator. The designed controller consisting of state feedback gain matrix K and integral gain $k_1$ is an optimal controller. The integral gain $k_1$ related to weighting matrices q and R will be an optimal value for assigning the filter time constant of loop filter. The experimental results in controlling the second-order lag pressure process using two types of loop filters show that the system response is fast without steady-state error, the output disturbance effect rejection is fast and the tracking to step changes is good.

This paper presents a two- phase search scheme for optimal pipe expansion of expansion of existing water distribution systems. In pipe network problems, link flows affect the total cost of the system because the link flows are not uniquely determined for various pipe diameters. The two-phase search scheme based on stochastic optimization scheme is suggested to determine the optimal link flows which make the optimal design of existing pipe network. A sample pipe network is employed to test the proposed method. Once the best tree network is obtained, the link flows are perturbed to find a near global optimum over the whole feasible region. It should be noted that in the perturbation stage the loop flows obtained form the sample existing network are employed as the initial loop flows of the proposed method. It has been also found that the relationship of cost-hydraulic gradient for pipe expansion of existing network affects the total cost of the sample network. The results show that the proposed method can yield a lower cost design than the conventional design method and that the proposed method can be efficiently used to design the pipe expansion of existing water distribution systems.

In this paper, it is investigated that the limitation due to the asymmetry of optical power and chromatic dispersion with respect to optical phase conjugator (OPC) for compensating optical signal distortion in WDM system is overcomed by using OPC position offset and optimal dispersion coefficients of fiber sections, which depend on OPC position offset. It is confirmed that overall WDM channels are efficiently compensated by applying the optimal parameter values obtained from the proposed method into 24 channels ${\times}40$ Gbps WDM system with non zero - dispersion shifted fiber (NZ-DSF) of 1, 000 km, such as power penalties of inter-channel are reduce to almost 3.5 dB from the infinite value. It is also confirmed that the flexible design of WDM system with OPC is possible by using the optimal parameters, in which OPC is placed at ${\pm}15km$ from 500 km for efficiently compensating overall channels. Thus, the methods proposed in this research will be expected to alternate with the method of making a symmetrical distribution of power and local dispersion in real optical link which generates a serious problem if it was not made but it is the condition in the case of applying the OPC into multi-channels WDM system.

본 논문에서는 표준 IMC-PID 제어기에 시스템 식별상의 위상 조절 인자를 설계 변수로 추가함으로 새로운 IMC-PID 제어기 설계 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 제어기의 동조법으로 해석적으로 구해진 주파수 영역 특성을 통해 주파수 영역 성능을 보장하도록 하는 설계 변수의 구속 조건 하에서 시간영역의 적분 오차 지표를 가격함수로 최소화하는 최적 해를 얻는다. 이 제안된 동조법은 다양한 설계 사양을 동시에 고려하도록 하여 기존의 IMC-PID의 단일 설계 변수 동조가 갖는 비유연성 문제를 개선하였다. 사례 연구에서 기존의 동조법들과의 성능 비교를 통해 그 유용성을 검토했다.

Spectrally resolved interferometry (SRI) is an attractive technique to measure absolute distances without any moving components. In the spectral interferogram obtained by a spectrometer, the optical path difference (OPD) can simply be extracted from the linear slope of the spectral phase. However, SRI has a fundamental measuring range limitation due to maximum and minimum measurable distances. In addition, SRI cannot distinguish the OPD direction because the spectral interferogram is in the form of a natural sinusoidal function. In this investigation, we describe a direction determining SRI and propose the optimal conditions for determining OPD direction. Spectral phase nonlinearity, caused by a dispersive material, effects OPD direction but deteriorates spectral interferogram visibility. In the experiment, various phase nonlinearities were measured by adjusting the dispersive material (BK7) thickness. We observed the interferogram visibility and the possibility of direction determination. Based on the experimental results, the optimal dispersion conditions are provided to distinguish OPD directions of SRI.

단일 모드 광섬유 (SMF; single mode fiber)의 색 분산과 자기 위상 변조 (SPM; self phase modulation)에 의한 신호 왜곡을 보상하기 위하여 분산 제어 (DM; dispersion management)와 광 위상 공액 (OPC; optical phase conjugation)이 적용된 파장 분할 다중 (WDM; wavelength division multiplexed) 시스템에서 전송 링크의 설계 기준을 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서 고려한 전송 링크의 설계 기준은 precompensation과 postcompensation에 의해 결정되는 최적 전체 잉여 분산 (NRD; net residual dispersion)과 채널의 최적 입사 전력 범위이다. 최적 NRD는 WDM 시스템의 전체 전송 거리와 중계 간격에 상관없이 precompensation과 postcompensation에 따라 각각 +10 ps/mn와 -10 ps/mn로 얻어졌다. 그러나 전송 거리와 중계 간격이 짧을수록 시스템 성능이 전반적으로 더욱 양호하게 나타나고, 비교적 넓은 유효 입사 전력 범위에 대해 유효 NRD 범위가 넓게 분포한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we investigate a software release policy with software reliability growth factor during the warranty period by assuming that the software reliability growth is assumed to occur after the testing phase with probability p and the software reliability growth is not assumed to occur after the testing phase with probability 1-p. The optimal release policy to minimize the expected total software cost is discussed. Numerical examples are shown to illustrate the results of the optimal policy. And we consider a Bayesian decision theoretic approach to determine an optimal software release policy. This approach enables us to update our uncertainty when determining optimal software release time, When the failure time is Weibull distribution with uncertain parameters, a bayesian approach is established. Finally, numerical examples are presented for illustrative propose.

The probability distribution of the repair process should be determined to choose the optimal spare level of a weapon system with a queueing model. Though most weapon systems have a multi-step repair process, previous studies use the exponential distribution for the multi-step repair process. But the PH distribution is more appropriate for this case. We utilize the PH distribution on a queueing model and solve it with MGM(Matrix Geometric Method). We derive the optimal spare level using the PH distribution and show the difference of results between the PH and exponential distribution.
