  • A new code, called PRaFULL (Piled Raft Foundation Under Lateral Load), was developed for the analysis of laterally loaded Combined Pile Raft Foundation (CPRF). The proposed code considers the contribution offered by the raft-soil contact and the interactions between all the CPRF system components. The nonlinear behaviour of the reinforced concrete pile and the soil are accounted. As shallower soil layers are of great relevance in the lateral response of a pile foundation, PRaFULL includes the possibility to consider layered soil profiles with appropriate properties. The shadowing effect on the ultimate soil pressure is accounted, when dealing with pile groups, as proposed by the Strain Wedge Model. PRaFULL BEM code obviously requires less computational resources compared to FEM (Finite Element Method) or FDM (Finite Difference Method) codes. The proposed code was validated in the linear elastic range by comparisons with the code APRAF (Analysis of Piled Raft Foundations). The reliability of the procedure to predict piled raft performance was then verified in nonlinear range by comparisons with both centrifuge tests and computer code PRAB.

  • 주파수 자원을 효율적으로 이용하기 위한 기술인 인지무선통신(CR : Cognitive radio) 기술은 주파수 자원난을 해결하기 위하여 연구되고 있다. CR은 1차 사용자에 할당된 주파수를 2차 사용자가 이용할 수 있도록 한다. 그러나 무선채널에서는 페이딩과 음영지역의 영향으로 스펙트럼 센싱에 있어서 절충안이 필요해진다. 또한, 다양한 CR 시스템을 검출하고 구분하기 위해서 새로운 센싱 알고리즘이 필요하다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 워터마킹 기술을 이용한 스펙트럼 센싱 알고리즘을 제안하여, Kasami-sequence와 M-sequence를 워터마킹 시퀀스로 이용했을 경우의 검출 성능을 비교한다.

  • Two step RTD(Rapid Thermal Diffussion) of P into silicon wafer using tungsten halogen lamp was used to fabricated very shallow n$^{+}$p junction. 1st RTD was performed in the temperature range of 800.deg. C for 60 see and the heating rate was in the 50.deg. C/sec. Phosphrous solid source was transfered on the silicon surface. 2nd RTD process was performed in the temperature range 1050.deg. C, 10sec. Using 2 step RTD we can obtain a shallow junction 0.13.mu.m in depth. After RTD, the Ti-silicide process was performed by the two step RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing) to reduced the electric resistance and to improve the n$^{+}$p junction diode. The titanium thickness was 300.angs.. The condition of lst RTA process was 600.deg. C of 30sec and that of 2nd RTA process was varied in the range 700.deg. C, 750.deg. C, 800.deg. C for 10sec-60sec. After 2 step RTA, sheet resistance was 46.ohm../[]. Ti-silicide n+p junction diode was fabricated and I-V characteristics were measured.red.

  • In this paper, we studied the shadow effect which is one of environmental cause for hot-spot phenomenon on PV by considering electrical effects. We fabricated PV module in case of existence and nonexistence of bypass diode. And maximum output power and thermal distribution was analyzed by shadowing solar cell by increase of 5%. From the results, the PV module's(without bypass diode) maximum output power was reduced by hot-spot gradually. But the PV module's(with bypass diode) maximum output power had no reduction by operation of bypass diode, though solar cell is shadowed more than 60%. The solar cell temperature of PV module(without bypass diode) was $10^{\circ}C$ higher compared to module's one. This is a reason for shortening of durability of PV module.

  • Geosynchronous electron flux dropouts are most likely due to fast drift loss of the particles to the magnetopause (or equivalently, the "magnetopause shadowing effect"). A possible effect related to the drift loss is the radial diffusion of PSD due to gradient of PSD set by the drift loss effect at an outer L region. This possibly implies that the drift loss can affect the flux levels even inside the trapping boundary. We recently investigated the details of such diffusion process by solving the diffusion equation with a set of initial and boundary conditions set by the drift loss. Motivated by the simulation work, we have examined observationally the energy spectrum and pitch angle distribution near trapping boundary during the geosynchronous flux dropouts. For this work, we have first identified a list of geosynchronous flux dropout events for 2007-2010 from GOES satellite electron measurements and solar wind pressures observed by ACE satellite. We have then used the electron data from the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) spacecraft measurements to investigate the particle fluxes. The five THEMIS spacecraft sufficiently cover the inner magnetospheric regions near the equatorial plane and thus provide us with data of much higher spatial resolution. In this paper, we report the results of our investigations on the energy spectrum and pitch angle distribution near trapping boundary during the geosynchronous flux dropout events and discuss implications on the effects of the drift loss on the flux levels at inner L regions.

  • 태양센서는 제작이 용이하고 가벼워 위성의 자세센서로 많이 사용되며 센서 모델의 정밀도는 위성의 자세결정 정밀도에 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 정밀도 향상을 위한 2축 소형 태양센서 모델링 방식을 새롭게 제안하였다. 제안된 센서 모델링 방식은 기존 수학적 모델링 방식에서는 고려되지 않았던 슬릿 두께가 센서 출력에 영향을 주는 그림자 효과(shadow effect)를 고려한 물리적 모델링 방식이다. 또한 기존의 수학적 모델링 방식과의 비교를 통해 제안된 방식의 성능을 검증하였다. 새롭게 제안된 모델을 사용하면 기존 방식보다 정밀도가 약 29% 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다. 제안된 센서 모델은 현재 한국항공대학교 우주시스템연구실에서 개발 중인 HAUSAT-2 위성에 탑재될 ${\pm}60^{\circ}$의 시야각을 갖는 2축 고정밀 태양센서를 대상으로 검증하였다.

  • The back contact solar cell (BCSC) has several advantages compared to the conventional solar cell since it can reduce grid shadowing loss and contact resistance between the electrode and the silicon substrate. This paper presents the effect of the surface texturing of the silicon BCSC by varying the texturing depth or the texturing gap in the commercially available simulation software, ATHENA and ATLAS of the company SILVACO. The texturing depth was varied from $5{\mu}m$ to $150{\mu}m$ and the texturing gap was varied from $1{\mu}m$ to $100{\mu}m$ in the simulation. The resulting efficiency of the silicon BCSC was evaluated depending on the texturing condition. The quantum efficiency and the I-V curve of the designed silicon BCSC was also obtained for the analysis since they are closely related with the solar cell efficiency. Other parameters of the simulated silicon BCSC are as follows. The substrate was an n-type silicon, which was doped with phosphorous at $6{\times}10^{15}cm^{-3}$, and its thickness was $180{\mu}m$, a typical thickness of commercial solar cell substrate thickness. The back surface field (BSF) was $1{\times}10^{20}\;cm^{-3}$ and the doping concentration of a boron doped emitter was $8.5{\times}10^{19}\;cm^{-3}$. The pitch of the silicon BCSC was $1250{\mu}m$ and the anti-reflection coating (ARC) SiN thickness was $0.079{\mu}m$. It was assumed that the texturing was anisotropic etching of crystalline silicon, resulting in texturing angle of 54.7 degrees. The best efficiency was 25.6264% when texturing depth was $50{\mu}m$ with zero texturing gap in case of low texturing depth (< $100{\mu}m$).

  • Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are the most compact and reliable method of suppressing atmospheric emission lines in the infrared for ground-based telescopes. It has been proved that real FBGs based filters were able to eliminate 63 bright sky lines with minimal interline losses in 2011 (GNOSIS). Inscribing FBGs on multi-core fibers offers advantages. Compared to arrays of individual SMFs, the multi-core fiber Bragg grating (MCFBG) is greatly reduced in size, resistant to damage, simple to fabricate, and easy to taper into a photonics lantern (PRAXIS). Multi-mode fibers should be used and the number of modes has to be large enough to capture a sufficient amount of light from the telescope. However, the fiber Bragg gratings can only be inscribed in the single-mode fiber. A photonic lantern bi-directionally converts multi-mode to single-mode. The number of cores in MCFBGs corresponds to the mode. For a writing system consisting of a single ultra-violet (UV) laser and phase mask, the standard writing method is insufficient to produce uniform MCFBGs due to the spatial variations of the field at each core within the fiber. Most significant technical challenges are consequences of the side-on illumination of the fiber. Firstly, the fiber cladding acts as a cylindrical lens, narrowing the incident beam as it passes through the air-cladding interface. Consequently, cores receive reduced or zero illumination, while the focusing induces variations in the power at those that are exposed. The second effect is the shadowing of the furthest cores by the cores nearest to the light source. Due to a higher refractive index of cores than the cladding, diffraction occurs at each core-cladding interface as well as cores absorb the light. As a result, any core that is located directly behind another in the beam path is underexposed or exposed to a distorted interference pattern from what phase mask originally generates. Technologies are discussed to overcome the problems and recent experimental results are presented as well as simulation results.

  • 릴레이는 차세대 이동통신 시스템에서 기지국의 서비스 커버리지 영역을 확대하고 음영지역을 해소하기 위해 반드시 필요한 기술이다. 하지만, 기존의 릴레이 관련 연구는 주로 반이중 모드, 즉 서로 다른 시간 혹은 주파수에서 송수신을 수행하도록 제한하고 있다. 반이중 릴레이는 구현이 쉬운 반면 릴레이 송수신 지원 구분이 필요하기 때문에 전체 시스템 용량이 줄어드는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중 안테나를 갖는 전이중 릴레이의 다중 사용자 precoding 및 sum rate 정합 기반의 전력 할당 방식을 제안한다. 전이중 릴레이는 같은 주파수에서 동시에 송수신을 수행하기 때문에 릴레이의 송수신 안테나 사이에 발생하는 자기 간섭 문제를 해결해야 한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 precoding 기법을 통해 다중 사용자 MIMO 전송이 가능하면서 동시에 전이중 릴레이의 자기 간섭을 제거할 수 있다. 또한, 릴레이가 기지국으로부터 수신하는 정보량과 단말국으로 전달하는 정보량이 동일하도록 하는 조건 하에서 전체 시스템 용량을 최대화하는 전력 할당 기법을 제안한다.

  • 본 논문에서는 4.4GHz 대역에서 항공기내 무선 통신을 위한 채널 링크 버짓을 분석하였다. 항공기내의 채널을 일반적인 경로 손실, 장애물로 인한 음영효과, 그리고 다중 경로 신호로 인한 페이딩의 조합으로 모델링하였다. 그리고, 항공기내에 존재할 수 있는 송수신기의 다양한 위치에 따라서 채널을 A~F의 6개 그룹으로 분류하고, 6개의 채널 그룹별로 최대 전송 가능 거리와 전송 오류 확률 측면에서 링크 버짓을 분석하였다. 다양한 분석과 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과에 따르면, A, B, F 채널 그룹이 C, D, E 그룹 대비 우수한 전파 특성을 가지며, 그룹 E의 전파 특성이 가장 열악한 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과들은 항공기내 또는 이와 유사한 환경에서의 채널 분석을 위한 기초자료로 활용 가능하다.
