A numerical and experimental study has been performed on natural convection heat transfer from a horizontal annulus with spacers. The mode of heat transfer in the annulus is changed from conduction to convection at Ra = 10$^{3}$. By increasing wall conductivity, mean Nusselt number is apparently increased at $K_{w}$/K$_{f}$ .leg. 48, but at /K$_{w}$/K$_{f}$ > 48, slightly increased for no spacers, and decreased for vertical spacers and horizontal spacers. The mean Nusselt number can be represented in an exponential function of Grashof number at all conditions. The characterics of natural convection heat transfer show similiarity for no spacers and vertical spacers but show difference for horizontal spacers. The presence of the horizontal spacers increased the convective heat transfer by an average 6 percent over that for the no forced cooling to outer cylinder. The maximum local Nusselt number appears at .theta. = 150.deg. in a conducting tube and .theta. = 30.deg. in an outer cylinder for vertical spacers, and appears at .theta. = 180.deg. in a conducting tube and .theta. = 0.deg. in an outer cylinder for horizontal spacers.spacers.

For seven NX sized borehole models constructed from physical property data for representative geology in Korea, dispersion curves were derived and compared between models having different physical parameters. By comparing and analyzing the dispersion curves obtained from different sources (monopole and dipole) and different borehole sizes (76 mm and 150 mm), dispersion characteristics in sonic log could be understood better, particularly in the case of slim hole sonic log.

The difference threshold test (DTT) declares erasures whenever the difference between the largest and second largest energy detector outputs does not exceed a given threshold. we show that the DTT outperforms the ratio threshold test (RTT) for finite modulation size and diversity order in the detection of M-FSK signals. The asymptotic performance for infinite modulation size and diversity order is then investigated. It is shown that the minimum signal-to-noise ratio required to achieve error-free communication for the DTT is the same as that for the RTT.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive trellis-coded Multipe Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (ATCMQAM) for slowly varying Rayleigh fading channels. The proposed system adaptively controls the coding rate combined with modulation level of pargmatic approach to trellis-coded modulation according to the instantaneous fading channel conditions, and employs MQAM as modulation scheme. Results by computer simulation show that the proposed adaptive model using MQAM can realize higher quality transmission with the improvement more than 0.5~1 bit in average bit rate, and there is a coding gain of 2~5 dB, depending on the high SNR value, compared with the conventional adaptive model employing MPSK.

최근에는 탄소섬유강화복합재료(CFRP)는 우수한 기계적인 물성치와 수월한 설계특성으로 인해 우주.민간 항공산업분야 뿐만 아니라 여러분야에 응용성이 매우 높다. 그러나 CFRP 복합적층판으로 제작된 구조물은 충격손상을 받을 시에는 50-75%치 강도가 낮아지는 취약성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에는 CFRP복합재의 구조건전성 및 결함여부를 비파괴적으로 검사 및 탐상을 하기 위해서 시도하였다. 특히, C-scanner의 수침조에서 충격손상을 받은 시험편을 집어넣어 자동 데이터 획득 시스템을 구동하여 현장응용성이 가장 높은 일 방향 초음파측정 (one-sided ultrasonic measurement) 방법인 평가기법을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 일방향 초음파 피치캐치방법이 CFRP 복합적층판내에서 일반 수직 초음파 탐상기법보다 훨씬 민감함을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose a multi-hop cooperative transmission protocol over Rayleigh fading channels. In the proposed protocol, the multi-hop cooperative transmission is used to improve the system performance. Due to broadcast nature, we do not limit the receiving node to be only the next node, but the destination and all the nodes between the transmitting node and the destination. The proposed protocol can hence save the average transmit power, compared with multi-hop direct transmission protocol due to the skipped transmissions from some intermediate nodes or chosen relays. The proposed scheme is implemented and evaluated in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks.

This paper is concerning about the demapping method using the pilots inserted in transmitter in COFDM(Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) demodulator which is the standard transmission method of terrestrial digital TV system in Europe(DVB-T). We have presented a simple and efficient method of CSI(Channel State Information) generation and demapping method using CSI. The CSI was derived from the pilot carriers inserted with comb-type among the received active carriers, which is defined as a SNR. From the simulation results for the 3 different constellations of the receiver, we could confirm that the system performance comparing with conventional soft decision method has been improved under DVB-T standard Rayleigh and Ricean fading channel.

It is necessary to devise the method for increasing bandwidth efficiency in order to provide the high speed mobile multi-media communication services with CDMA under the limited radio bandwidth resources. In this paper the structure for transmitting the high speed data at the half bandwidth of the required bandwidth using the symmetry property of the IFFT output of the binary input MC-CDMA, which enables the time scaling method utilized, is proposed. The processing gain is increased 4 times than the DS-CDMA and its performance is evaluated as better than DS-CDMA with rake receivers under the Rayleigh fading channel and same bandwidth per one channel.

Short-term fading in a mobile radio channel is mainly caused by multipath reflected wave by local scatterers or natural obstacles surrounding a mobile unit. In this paper, we analyze probability density function(PDF), level crossing rate(LCR) and widths and depths of fades for the measured field strength data in Seoul and Daejeon areas. As a result, the satatistical distribution of signal variations within any small area with the constant mean value becomes the Rayleigh distribution The variation of fade depths is small regardless of the environment such as urban, suburban. etc. However, the variation of fade widths is large with the change of circumstantial structures and environment. the maximum level crossing rate is obtained near the mean value.

A design of four-mirror optical system with reduction magnification 5X for deep UV ($\lambda$=248 nm of KrF excimer laser) submicron lithography is presented. Initially by using the paraxial quantities, the domain of solution for $t=d_1+d_2+d_3$<0 (d;: distance between the mirror $c_i$ and $c_{i+1}$ is found for the system which is free from the four off-axial Seidel first order aberrations that are coma, astigmatism, field curvature, and distortion. The solution with $d_5$=2.95 (normalized with respect to $c_i$= -1) is choosen and the aspherization is carried out to the spherical mirror surfaces ($c_3$ and $c_4$ in order to reduce the axial and residual off-axial higher order aberrations. The numerical aperture of the final system is as large as 0.4, which gives Rayleigh resolution of 0.38 $\mu\textrm{m}$.
