This paper proposes an open-loop clock recovery circuit (CRC) using two high-Q dielectric resonator (DR) filters for 39.8 Gb/s and 42.8 Gb/s dual-mode operation. The DR filters are fabricated to obtain high Q-values of approximately 950 at the 40 GHz band and to suppress spurious resonant modes up to 45 GHz. The CRC is implemented in a compact module by integrating the DR filters with other circuits in the CRC. The peak-to-peak and RMS jitter values of the clock signals recovered from 39.8 Gb/s and 42.8 Gb/s pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) data with a word length of $2^{31}-1$ are less than 2.0 ps and 0.3 ps, respectively. The peak-to-peak amplitudes of the recovered clocks are quite stable and within the range of 2.5 V to 2.7 V, even when the input data signals vary from 150 mV to 500 mV. Error-free operation of the 40 Gb/s-class optical receiver with the dual-mode CRC is confirmed at both 39.8 Gb/s and 42.8 Gb/s data rates.

In this paper, we propose the new torus network which has the hypercube Q3 as the basic module. The proposed Hyper-torus has the degree 4, and is the network which has the scalability, and the fine diameter. If we compare the class of the torus in the viewpoint of network cost, the hyper-torus with $1.4{\sqrt{N}}$+ 16 is proved to be approximately 65% than the torus with $4{\sqrt{N}}$ and 50% than the honeycomb with $2.45{\sqrt{N}}$. This result means that hyper-torus is better for the class of the existing mesh in the viewpoint of network cost.

This paper presents the embedded inductors in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) for PAM(Power Amplifier Module) of mobile terminations. The inductors are designed, simulated, and compared to conventional chip inductors. The Quality factor(Q) and self-resonance frequency(SRF) of the inductors are evaluated. The quality factors of the inductors are two times higher than those of the chip inductors, and the self-resonance frequency is 1.3 times higher than those of chip inductors at the inductance of 2.7 nH and 3.3 nH respectively.

Differential Vibrating Accelerometer(DVA) is a small and accurate resonant device to sense the change in natural frequency in presence of acceleration input. Both mathematical modeling for the electromechanical dynamics and experimental investigation on the structural characteristics are necessary for effective designs of precision controller and high Q-factor structure. In this paper, electromechanical modeling of the resonator of DVA, electrode module, and pre-amplifier is presented. The presented method is experimentally verified by measuring the resonance frequency, effective mass, effective stiffness and Q-factor. The direct comparison of the calculated displacement and the actual pre-amplifier of DVA also indicates the effectiveness of this study.

In this paper, a 2.4 GHz doppler radar system consisting of a doppler radar sensor and a baseband module were designed to detect heart beat and respiration signal without direct skin contact. The doppler radar system emits RF signal of 2.4 GHz toward human chest, and then detects phase modulation of the reflected signal so as to investigate cardiopulmonary activities. The heartbeat and respiration signals acquired from I/Q channels of the doppler radar system are applied to the pre-processing circuit, the amplification circuit, and the offset circuit of the baseband module. The designed system was tested on mouse, rabbit and mankind, which have different range of heart rates and respiration signals, to evaluate detection accuracy of the system. ECG acquisition system and respiration transducer were used to generate the reference signal. In our experiments, a performance of detection were found to be high in the case that the subject stays still. In this paper, we confirmed that non-contact heart beat and respiration detection using the doppler radar has the possibility and limitation according to distance, cardiopulmonary activities, range of heart rates and respiration.

In this study, new LTCC materials of $ZnWO_4$-LiF system were developed for the application to RF Module fabrication. Pure $ZnWO_4$ must be sintered above $1050^{\circ}C$ in order to obtain up to 98% of full density. The measured dielectric constant ($\epsilon_r$)quality factor ($Q{\times}f0$), and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ($\tau_f$ were 15.5, 74000 GHz, and $-70ppm^{\circ}C$, respectively. LiF addition resulted in a liquid phase formation at 81$0^{\circ}C$ due to interaction between ZnWO$_4$ and LiF. Therefore, ZnWO$_4$ with 0.5∼1.5 wt% LiF could be densified at $850^{\circ}C$. In the given LiF addition range, the sintering shrinkage increased with increasing LiF content. Addition of LiF slightly lowered the dielectric constant from 15.5 to 14.2∼15 due to lower dielectric constant of LiF. Qxfo value decreased with increasing LiF content. This can be explained in terms of the interaction between LiF and $ZnWO_4$, and inhomogeneity of grain structure.

In this paper, the 2.4GHz doppler radar system consisting of the doppler radar module and a baseband module were designed to detect heartbeat and respiration signal without direct skin contact. A bio-radar system emits continuous RF signal of 2.4GHz toward human chest, and then detects the reflected signal so as to investigate cardiopulmonary activities. The heartbeat and respiration signals acquired from quadrature signal of the doppler radar system are applied to the pre-processing circuit, amplification circuit, and the offset circuit of the baseband module. ECG(electrocardiogram) and reference respiration signals are measured simultaneously to evaluate the doppler radar system. As a result, the respiration signal of doppler radar signal is detected to 1m without complex digital signal processing. The sensitivity and calculated from I/Q respiration signal were $98.29{\pm}1.79%$, $97.11{\pm}2.75%$, respectively, and positive predictivity were $98.11{\pm}1.45%$, $92.21{\pm}10.92%$, respectively. The sensitivity and positive predictivity calculated from phase and magnitude of the doppler radar were $95.17{\pm}5.33%$, $94.99{\pm}5.43%$, respectively. In this paper, we confirmed that noncontact real-time heartbeat and respiration detection using the doppler radar system has the possibility and limitation.

최근 기후변화로 인해 하천 건천화가 빈번히 발생함에 따라 농업용 저수지로부터 하류 하천유량을 얼마나 공급할 수 있으며, 어느 시기에 공급하는 것이 적당한가에 대한 의문이 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 농업용 저수지의 하천유지용수 공급에 대한 관점에서 용수배분을 자유롭게 모의조작 할 수 있는 모듈을 개발하였고, 이를 미호천 중류의 북일 수위관측소 유역 내 위치한 저수량이 100만 $m^3$인 농업용 저수지 9개소를 대상으로 적용하였다. 관개용수량은 작물증발산량, 담수심, 침투량, 손실율 등을 고려하여 산정할 수 있도록 하였으며, 하천유지용수 공급량은 기준갈수량을 기본값으로 하였다. 또한 하천유지용수의 공급방식은 무공급, 비관개기 공급, 연중 공급, 운영률에 의한 공급의 4가지로 구분하여 일괄적인 모의가 가능하도록 구성하였다. 기상청 RCP 8.5 기후변화 시나리오를 이용하여 미래 모의기간에 대한 유역 말단부의 갈수기 하천수량 변화와 유황패턴을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 하천유지용수을 비관개기에 공급하는 저수지 운영으로 하천수량은 하천유지용수를 공급하지 않는 저수지 운영보다 연평균 1.8백만(2.0%) $m^3$ 증가, 연중 공급하는 저수지 운영보다 4.3백만$m^3$(4.7%) 증가, 운영률에 의해 하천유지용수를 공급하는 운영은 연평균 13.1백만(14.6%) $m^3$ 증가하였다. 둘째, 하천유지용수를 비관개기에 공급하는 저수지 운영은 갈수기로 갈수록 유량이 증가하였다 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 하천유지용수를 연중으로 공급하는 저수지 운영은 비관개기에 공급하는 저수지 운영보다 갈수량(Q355) 이하의 유량을 더 증가시킬 수 있는 것으로 분석되었고 풍수량(Q95)과 평수량(Q185) 사이의 하천유량이 상대적으로 크게 증가하였다. 운영률에 의해 하천유지용수를 공급하는 저수지 운영은 하천유지유량을 공급하지 않는 저수지 운영방식보다 하천유량의 증가와 갈수기 전반에 걸쳐 유황이 안정되는 것으로 분석되었다.

Background Breast augmentation with implants is the most commonly performed cosmetic plastic surgery in Brazil and worldwide. The aim of this study was to assess patient satisfaction and quality of life following subpectoral breast augmentation with either microtextured or macrotextured implants, using the BREAST-Q. Methods A prospective study was conducted with 40 women with hypomastia undergoing subpectoral breast augmentation. The patients were randomly allocated to two groups to receive either microtextured or macrotextured breast implants. All participants were assessed preoperatively (baseline) and after 2 and 4 months of surgery for quality of life and patient satisfaction with the surgical results, using the BREAST-Q augmentation module, a patient-reported outcome measure. Results The patients had a mean age of 28.9 ± 6.45 years. The microtextured (n = 20) and macrotextured (n = 20) groups were homogeneous for sex, age, education level, marital status, and number of children (p > 0.05). Both groups showed significant improvement in satisfaction with breasts (p < 0.001), psychosocial well-being (p < 0.001), and sexual well-being (p < 0.001) at the 2- and 4-month follow-up visits compared with baseline. The observed improvements were associated with high effect size values of 5.09, 3.44, and 3.90, respectively. In contrast, significant decreases from baseline in physical well-being scores (p = 0.001) were found 2 and 4 weeks after surgery in both groups. Conclusion Subpectoral breast augmentation with either microtextured or macrotextured breast implants improved satisfaction with breasts and quality of life in patients with hypomastia.
