Transmission X-ray tubes based on carbon nanotube have attracted significant attention recently. In most of these tubes, tungsten is used as the target material. In this article, the well-known simulator Geant4 was used to obtain some of the tungsten target parameters. The optimal thickness for maximum production of usable X-rays when the target is exposed to electron beams of different energies was obtained. The linear variation of optimal thickness of the target for different electron energies was also obtained. The data obtained in this study can be used to design X-ray tubes. A beryllium window was considered for the X-ray tube. The X-ray energy spectra at the moment of production and after passing through the target and window for different electron energies in the 30-110 keV range were also obtained. The results obtained show that with a specific thickness, the target material itself can act as filter, which enables generation of X-rays with a limited energy.

The optimization of a transmission type bremsstrahlung conversion target was carried out with Monte Carlo code FLUKA for intense pulsed electron beams with electron energy of several hundred keV for maximum photon fluence. The photon emission intensity from electrons with energy ranging from 300 keV to 1 MeV on tungsten, tantalum and molybdenum targets was calculated with varied target thicknesses. The research revealed that higher target material element number and electron energy leads to increased photon fluence. For a certain target material, the target thickness with maximum photon emission fluence exhibits a linear relationship with the electron energy. With certain electron energy and target material, the thickness of the target plays a dominant role in increasing the transmission photon intensity, with small target thickness the photon flux is largely restricted by low energy loss of electrons for photon generation while thick targets may impose extra absorption for the generated photons. The spatial distribution of bremsstrahlung photon density was analyzed and the optimal target thicknesses for maximum bremsstrahlung photon fluence were derived versus electron energy on three target materials for a quick determination of optimal target design.

수십에서 수백 ${\mu}m$ 영역의 필름 두께 측정에 적용하기 위한 Ag-target 투과양극형 x-ray tube를 개발하고 특성을 조사하였다. 10kV 부근의 관전압에서 x-ray 에너지의 분포 및 선량특성을 조사하고 W-target tube와 비교하여 논의하였다. 또한 Ag-target tube와 W-target tube를 이용하여 Ny film과 PP film의 두께변화에 따른 x-ray의 투과 특성으로 조사하였고, 그 결과 개발된 x-ray tube는 필름두께 측정용으로 적용할 수 있을 만큼 충분히 좋은 특성을 나타내었다.

휴대용 XRF(X-Ray Fluorescence) 장치에 적용하기 위하여 개발한 투과 양극형 x-ray tube를 이용하여 XRF 실험을 하고, x-ray tube가 XRF data에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. W-target tube와 Rh-target tube를 이용하여 측정한 XRF data는 알려진 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 35 kV와 관전압과 $40{\mu}A$의 관전류에서 W-target tube로 측정한 Fe $K_{\alpha}$-line의 FWHM은 약 180 eV로써, 이 값은 물질의 성분분석을 하기에 충분한 것으로 확인하였다. XRF data와 x-ray tube의 적분강도 곡선을 비교 분석해 본 결과, 휴대용 XRF 장치에는 W-Target tube보다는 Rh-Target tube를 사용하는 것이 더 유리함을 밝혀내었다.

In this paper, we analyzed transmission capability of VDSL system under the various noise in VDSL transmission lines. For this, we calculated transmission capacity using loading algorithm with transmission channel which suggested by ANSI DSL standard group TIE1.4. As a result, we've got approximated outcome similiar with target capacity in VDSL systems in short range. But we couldn't have got a outcome with target capacity in long range.

Design target values of transmission loss in a high-speed train wall are suggested by calculating the difference between interior and exterior noise levels of it. Exterior noise level distribution on the boundary of train wall is calculated by Sysnoise, with sound source input prepared by experiments. Two kinds of exterior sound sources are considered, the rolling noise of train wheels on the rail and the aerodynamic noise from the pantograph. Interior noise level is provided by high-speed design target. Transmission loss characteristics according to the frequency band are examined.

Though multi-panel structures lined with a poroelastic material have been widely used to reduce sound transmission in various fields, most of the previous works to design them were conducted by repeated analyses or experiments based on initially given configurations or sequences. Therefore, it was difficult to obtain the optimal sequence of multi-panel structures lined with a poroelastic material yielding superior sound isolation capability. In this work, we propose a new design method to sequence a multi-panel structure lined with a poroelastic material having maximized sound transmission loss. Being formulated as a one-dimensional topology optimization problem for a given target frequency, the optimal sequencing of panel-poroelastic layers is systematically carried out in an iterative manner. In this method, a panel layer is expressed as a limiting case of a poroelastic layer to facilitate the optimization process. This means that main material properties of a poroelastic material are treated as Interpolated functions of design variables. The designed sequences of panel-poroelastic layers were shown to be significantly affected by the target frequencies; more panel layers were used at higher target frequencies. The sound transmission loss of the system was calculated by the transfer matrix derived from Biot's theory.
