A compact and broadband $4\times1$ array antenna was developed for 3G smart antenna system testbed. The $4\times1$ uniform linear away antenna was designed to operate at 1.885 to 2.2GHz with a total bandwidth of 315MHz. The array elements were based on the novel broadband L-probe fed inverted hybrid E-H (LIEH) shaped microstrip patch, which offers 22% size reduction to the conventional rectangular microstrip patch antenna. For steering the antenna beam, a commercial variable attenuator (KAT1D04SA002), a variable phase shifter (KPH350SC00) with four units each, and the corporate 4-ways Wilkinson power divider which was fabricated in-house were integrated to form the beamforming feed network. The developed antenna has an impedance bandwidth of 17.32% $(VSWR\leq1.5)$, 21.78% $(VSWR\leq2)$ with respect to center frequency 2.02GHz and with an achievable gain of 11.9dBi. The design antenna offer a broadband, compact and mobile solution for a 3G smart antenna testbed to fully characterized the IMT-2000 radio specifications and system performances.

A low cross-polarization broadband stacked patch antenna is proposed. By means of the stacked patch configuration and probe-fed strip feed technique, the VSWR 1.2:1 bandwidth of the patch antenna is enhanced to 22% from 804 MHz to 1,002 MHz, which outperforms the other available patch antennas (<10%). Furthermore, the antenna has a cross-polarization level of less than -20 dB and a gain level of about 9 dBi across the operating bandwidth. Simulation results are compared with the measurements, and a good agreement is observed.

This study investigates the effects of machining parameters as they relate to the quality characteristics of machined features. Two most important quality characteristics are set as the dimensional accuracy and the surface roughness. Before any newly acquired machine tool is put to use for production, it is important to test the machine in a systematic way to find out how different parameter settings affect machining quality. The empirical verification was made by conducting a Design of Experiment (DOE) with 3 levels and 3 factors on a state-of-the-art Cincinnati Hawk Arrow 750 Vertical Machining Center (VMC). Data analysis revealed that the significant factor was the Hardness of the material and the significant interaction effect was the Hardness + Feed for dimensional accuracy, while the significant factor was Speed for surface roughness. Since the equally important thing is the capability of the instruments from which the quality characteristics are being measured, a comparison was made between the VMC touch probe readings and the measurements from a Mi-tutoyo coordinate measuring machine (CMM) on bore diameters. A machine mounted touch probe has gained a wide acceptance in recent years, as it is more suitable for the modern manufacturing environment. The data vindicated that the VMC touch probe has the capability that is suitable for the production environment. The test results can be incorporated in the process plan to help maintain the machining quality in the subsequent runs.

L-스트립 급전선에 의해서 급전되는 광대역 패치 안테나를 연구하였다. 본 논문의 목표는 3G와 4G 이동통신 서비스를 위한소형광대역안테나를설계하는데목표를두었다. 기존 유사 연구문헌에 보고 되었던 안테나와 본 논문의 제안된 안테나를 비교하여 개선된 효과를 입증하였다. L-스트립 급전의 삼각형 패치 안테나의 측정결과에서 636MHz(32.5%, fo=1,960MHz)의 임피던스 대역폭($VSWR{\leq}2$)이 3G와 4G 주파수 대역에서 얻어지는 것을 확인하였다. 일반적으로 Probe 급전방식의 경우 Probe에 의해서 기생 리액턴스가 야기되며 이로 인하여 안테나의 대역폭 특성을 저하시킨다. 측정결과를 통해서 제안된 안테나가 급전구조로부터 발생되는 기생 리액턴스를 보상할 수 있기 때문에 개선효과를 얻을 수 있었다는 것을 입증하였다. 연구된 안테나는 단순한 구조 때문에 어레이 확장이 쉽게 설계될 수 있다.

An immunochromatography (ICG) strip test using a nanocolloidal gold-antibody probe was developed and optimized for the rapid detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). A monoclonal antibody specific to AFB1 was produced from the cloned hybridoma cell (AF78), coupled with nanocolloidal gold, and distributed on the conjugate pad of the ICG strip test. The visual detection limit of the ICG strip test was 0.5 ng/ml, and this method showed a cross-reaction to aflatoxin B2, G1, and G2. In total, 172 grain and feed samples were collected and analyzed by both the ICG strip test and HPLC. The results of the ICG strip test showed a good agreement with those obtained by HPLC. These results indicated that the ICG strip test has a potential use as a rapid and cost-effective screening tool for the determination of AFB1 in real samples and could be applied to the preliminary screening of mycotoxin in food and agricultural products, generating results within 15 min without complicated steps.

TBM 터널을 건설하는 동안 효율적이고 안전한 작업을 위하여 굴착 암반의 정확한 정보를 획득하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 터널 막장 전방의 암반 상태를 예측하기 위하여 선진시추장비와 시추공벽 영상화 장비를 이용한 TBM 전방 지반평가시스템을 개발하였다. TBM 전방 지반평가시스템은 선진시추장비와 시추공벽 영상화 장비, 분석 소프트웨어로 구성된다. 선진시추장비는 논코어링과 코어링 방법이 모두 적용 가능하도록 개발되었다. 또한 굴진 시 획득되는 피드압, 회전압, 회전수, 굴진속도 등의 천공영향 변수를 획득할 수 있다. 천공지수는 코어RMR과의 상관성분석을 통해 천공지수RMR로 환산된다. 개발된 시스템은 비탈면, 터널 현장에서 현장적용을 진행하였다. 현장 적용 결과 논코어링 방법은 코어링 방법에 비해 4배가량 빠른 굴진이 가능한 것으로 확인되었고, 천공지수RMR과 코어RMR은 유사한 분포를 나타내었다. TBM 전방 지반평가시스템은 신속한 지반예측이 가능하므로 공기지연을 최소화할 수 있는 막장 전방 예측 기술로의 활용이 기대된다.

Modern communication systems employ wideband antennas with circular polarization (CP) radiation. In this work, asymmetric modified bow-tie (ABT) and symmetric modified bow-tie (SBT) slotted circularly polarized single-point probe-fed circular patch antennas with dimensions of $40mm{\times}40mm$ for wideband applications are proposed. A 10 dB RL bandwidth of 350 MHz with CP, 3 dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of 100 MHz, peak gain of 4.9 dBic, and 10 dB RL bandwidth of 530 MHz with CP, 3 dB AR bandwidth of 140 MHz, peak gain of 5 dBic are obtained for ABT and SBT slotted circular patch antennas, respectively. The proposed SBT slotted patch is scaled up and down to $50mm{\times}50mm$ and $30mm{\times}30mm$, respectively. The proposed scaled-up version offers 10 dB RL and 3 dB AR bandwidths of 340 MHz and 80 MHz, with a peak gain of 5 dBic. The scaled-down version offers 10 dB RL and 3 dB AR bandwidths of 710 MHz and 180 MHz, with a peak gain of 5.25 dBic. These prototypes are suitable to work in IEEE 802.11a WLAN, ISM, and IEEE 802.11ac applications. The measured and simulated results are then discussed and compared.

본 논문에서는 마이크로스트립 패치안테나의 단점인 협대역을 개선하기위해 안테나를 설계, 분석하였다. Probe 급전 방식의 안테나에서 reactance 성분을 줄이기 위해 capacitive gap을 추가하였다. 단일 패치와 보조도선을 사용하여 이중공진모드를 형성하였다. 이로 인해 대역폭이 증가되었고, 이득도 향상되었다. 이를 실험적으로 검증하기위해 PCS 주파수 대역의 안테나를 설계, 제작하였다. 제작된 PCS 주파수 대역 안테나의 측정 결과 는 VSWR,1.5에서 대역폭이 190 MHz이고, 이득은 8.6dB이다.
