In this paper, the CPW-fed triple-band internal planar monopole antenna which simultaneously meets the three bands such as Cellular, PCS and Wibro is designed. The size of the radiation elements can be reduced to about $\lambda/4$ by designing the CPW-fed monopole antenna and then we can miniaturize the antenna size by meandering the radiation elements. In addition, we design the planar antenna for the slim-type mobile phone. We can obtain the desired antenna properties by controlling the length of each radiation elements. The measured return loss of the antenna is less than -7 dB at the desired bandwidth. And the measured radiation patterns are similar to that of the monopole antenna. The designed antenna has the gains -5.2 dBi. -2 dBi, -0.4 dBi at each resonant frequencies respectively.

The resonant frequency fo and unloaded quality factor Qu of CoTi-substituted Barium ferrites($\textrm{BaCo}_{x}\textrm{Ti}_{x}\textrm{Fe}_{12-2x}\textrm{O}_{19}$, $1.0\leq\textrm{x}\leq5.0$) were measured at frequencies between 5 to 10GHz using the paralleled copper-plate wave guide method. The measurements showed that the permittivities of CoTi-substituted Barium ferrites(CoTi-BF) increased from 14.7 to 23.4 with the contents of CoTi, x, and the loss tangents had values of $\textrm{10}^{-3}$ order. From these results, CoTi-BF are considered to be very promising materials in microwave devices such as dielctric resonator antennas.

In this paper, a slot-coupled microstrip antenna with switchable polarization is proposed for the polarization diversity applications in the complicated communication environment. The proposed antenna is fed by a microstrip line through one of two slots located with the interval of $\lambda{g}/4$ in the ground plane. By switching the PIN diode between opened and shorted termination which is located at the tip of the microstrip line, the switching function between horizontal and vertical polarization was confirmed experimentally. The measured resonant frequencies of the fabricated antenna are $2.41\;\cal{GHz}\;2.40\;\cal{GHz}$ and the cross polarization levels are $19\;\cal{dB},\;23\;\cal{dB},\;the\;-10\;\cal{dB}$ return loss bandwidths are $95\;\cal{MHz}\;100\;\cal{MHz}$ in horizontal and vertical polarization, respectively, and the antenna gain is almost $6\;\cal{dBi}$.

In this paper, two types of $2\times2$ Rx/Tx microstrip patch antenna are proposed to implement Ku-band satellite communications. The single-fed dual resonance patch antenna as the first type derives perpendicular polarizations at two resonant frequencies from a single patch radiator, using aperture coupling via a bended single-feeding line and a cross-shaped slot. The double-fed dual resonance patch antenna as the second type implements dual resonance with mutually orthogonal polarizations by mixing the two feeding mechanisms of the microstrip line and the aperture coupling. Especially, in the double-fed dual resonance antenna case, air-gap is introduced to broaden the bandwidth. Through measurement, each of the two types of antenna was verified to function properly both Rx and Tx. The double-fed dual resonance antenna shows excellent performance in the bandwidth and the crosspolarization characteristics.

Dynamic parameters such as natural frequencies can provide global stiffness information of a structure, and thus be utilized in monitoring structural integrity of large structures such as a containment. To identify the dynamic parameters without interrupting normal operation, a modal analysis method based on ambient vibration measurements should be applied. In this study, dynamic parameters of the containment of Wolsong Unit 2 are identified using ambient vibration measurement data. The feasibility of the study is verified using a numerical model for the containment. From the modal analysis, dynamic parameters of the containment with acceptable correlation to analytical modes can be estimated.

With the increased size and flexibility of the tower and blades, structural vibrations are becoming a limiting factor towards the design of even larger and more powerful wind turbines. Research into the use of vibration mitigation devices in the turbine tower has been carried out but the use of dampers in the blades has yet to be investigated in detail. Mitigating vibrations will increase the design life and hence economic viability of the turbine blades and allow for continual operation with decreased downtime. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effectiveness of Semi-Active Tuned Mass Dampers (STMDs) in reducing the edgewise vibrations in the turbine blades. A frequency tracking algorithm based on the Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) technique is used to tune the damper. A theoretical model has been developed to capture the dynamic behaviour of the blades including the coupling with the tower to accurately model the dynamics of the entire turbine structure. The resulting model consists of time dependent equations of motion and negative damping terms due to the coupling present in the system. The performances of the STMDs based vibration controller have been tested under different loading and operating conditions. Numerical analysis has shown that variation in certain parameters of the system, along with the time varying nature of the system matrices has led to the need for STMDs to allow for real-time tuning to the resonant frequencies of the system.

This paper proposes a novel low-profile omni-directional microstrip antenna to mount on the deployable wing of the observation munition. The proposed antenna is designed on seven hexagonal resonators in a quasi-circular array to achieve a monopolar radiation pattern with a thin substrate. By employing the mesh ground structures, the resonant frequencies and impedance bandwidths of the proposed antenna is investigated. To verify the feasibility of the mesh ground structure, the thin ground wire width is investigated theoretically for improving the 3-dB fractional bandwidth, realized antenna gain and quality-factor. The proposed antenna demonstrates a good monopolar radiation in good agreement with the simulation results. The implemented prototype shows the measured bandwidth of 326 MHz with respect to 5.65% centered at 5.77 GHz and realized gain of 5.49 dBi at 5.84 GHz.

The cymbal transducer is a miniaturized version of the Class V flextensional transducer. It has low resonant frequency and high output pressure characteristics compared with its size. However, since it has high quality factor and low energy conversion efficiency as well, it is often used as an array rather than single. When used as an array, a big change in the frequency characteristics occurs in comparison with that of the single transducer due to the interaction between constituent transducers. In this study, we designed a pattern of cymbal array with a view to having broadband characteristics. Three transducers having different center frequencies were designed first. The designed cymbal transducers were used to construct all possible patterns of a 3 × 3 planar array. After analyzing frequency characteristics of these patterns, based on the results, we derived the most effective pattern to achieve a higher fractional bandwidth. The derived array pattern showed an improvement of the fractional bandwidth by 24.9 % in comparison with the reference model.

The magnitude 5.4 earthquake occurred in 2017 near 7.5 km north of Buk-gu, Pohang. In order to find out the characteristics of microtremor in Buk-gu, Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do, where earthquake damage occurred significantly, a total of 39 points were acquired to analyze the horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR). Microtremor vary from region to region, so the resonant frequency of the region is obtained by examining the microtremor. For Thickness analysis, we analyze the structure and properties of shear wave velocity (Vs) up to the underlying rock to compare resonance frequencies to match the horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) analysis technique against nearby boring data. Using F₀ = V_s/4H with a resonance frequency of alluvium is 1.3 ± 0.07 Hz and a resonance frequency of Yeonil group is 0.69 ± 0.22 Hz, the alluvium thickness was found to be 26~30 m and the Yeonil group thickness was 170~250 m.

In this work, we have developed a 1D network model aimed at predicting eigenvalues for resonance frequency analysis in a lab-scale industrial gas turbine single nozzle combustion system. Modern industrial gas turbines generally adopt combustors with very complex geometry and flow path to meet various design requirements simultaneously. The current study has developed a network model for combustion systems with backflow at the same axial location. The modeling results of resonance frequencies and mode distributions for a given system using the network model were validated from comparisons with prediction results using a 3D Helmholtz solver.
