In this paper, the novel method is proposed to realize the parallel coupled line band pass filter using defected ground structure(DGS) inverter. This method provides simple solution which easily resolves the limit of line width happened due to high impedance on the occasion of designing filter composed of line inverter. On the basis of the proposed method and conventional method, the band pass filters haying 13.3% fractional bandwidth were designed and implemented. The measured data of two filters show usually good agreement with each other, but on the other hand the length of proposed filter become shorten about 15mm and the width of inverter line was expanded two times or more in comparison with conventional filter.

Fault locating is an important element to minimize the damage of power system. The computation error of fault locator may occur by the influence of the DC offset component during phasor extraction. In order to minimize the bad effects of DC offset component, this paper presents an improved fault location algorithm based on a DC offset removal filter for short fault in a double circuit transmission line. We have modeled a 154kV double circuit transmission line by the ATP software to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fault locating algorithm. The line to line short faults were simulated and then collected simulation data was used. It can be seen that the error rate of fault locating estimation by the proposed algorithm decreases than the error rate of fault locating estimation by conventional algorithm.

A new method to miniaturize ${\lambda}/4$ transmission line of power divider is proposed. The method utilizes simple combination of the shorted coupled-line pair instead of the transmission line with very high impedance and shunt lumped capacitors. The length of ${\lambda}/4$ transmission line of power divider is about 16% over the conventional power divider at 1 GHz.

Electric fuel sender fur the vehicle fuel gauge system was designed and fabricated based on the CPW(Co-Planer Waveguide) transmission line theory. It is applied on this system that characteristic impedance of RF transmission line can be varied by the surrounded material of the line. By the characteristic impedance owing the level of gasoline or diesel fuel in vehicle fuel tank, CPW line has corresponding reflected signal as much as changed impedance. Detected signal is amplified, and delivered to fuel indicator into cluster unit on dash board. Conventional floating mechanical buoy level gauge has several defects as low reliability and high break down rate by mechanical operation, and has not good linearity for the fuel level difference. CPW line with electric circuits are constructed on 1.6 mm thickness epoxy substrate, and measurement shows that this system has more accurate level and better linearity than conventional mechanical system. New electric fuel sender which has good productivity with long lifetime and low-in-cost by the SMT chip assembling could be replaced this system with conventional floating buoy system.

A branch-line hybrid using microstrip artificial transmission lines(ATLs) with slotted-triangular patches is proposed. The proposed artificial transmission line is compact in structure as well as easy to adjust the characteristic impedance and electrical length of equivalent transmission line by changing the slot's parameters; hence, it is useful for miniaturizing conventional transmission lines. The designed branch-line hybrid, because of the use of the right angled isosceles triangular shaped artificial transmission lines as building blocks, has no useless empty space, and hence optimally miniaturized. A fabricated 3 dB branch-line hybrid shows the coupling variation of ${\pm}0.5$ dB and the phase difference between two output ports of $91^{\circ}{\pm}4^{\circ}$ within 15 % bandwidth at 2.45 GHz center frequency. The size of proposed branch-line hybrid is only 38% of the conventional branch-line hybrid.

In order to modify the construction of gizzard shad coastal purse seine net with possible to the laborsaving of fishing operation in the coastal small fishing vessels, the model experiments were carried out on the model nets for several conventional nets using in the field and the experimental nets was manufactured as 1/100 and 1/60 of the full scale net. The results obtained are summarized as follows；1. In the case of the conventional net and reduction rate 75% in conventional net with purse line the fishing efficiency decreased, the lead line was upward for the surface and the pursing depth of pursing line was very shallow to 2∼3m. 2. In the case of the net having maximum depth in center part designed in this study, the length of float and lead line was 60% of conventional net, the depth of net was fixed 20m to selvage line of the both of the end and extend gradually with 50m, 40m, 30m to the center. Among the these net, depth of pursing line was 20∼23m for 50m and 7∼15m for 40m, 30m the depth of net. These results were suitable for interception of fish school in fishing ground, but several problems will be caused by the depth and current of fishing ground.

In this paper, the exact analysis of the parallel coupled line with open stub and an application to branch-line hybrid are presented. The Z-parameter of the parallel coupled line with an open stub is derived. The structure shows the characteristics as a lowpass filter unit cell(LUC) with wide stop band. Using the characteristics we designed a miniaturized branch-line hybrid with wide harmonic-suppressed band. The size of the new branch-line hybrid is a half of the conventional branch-line hybrid. The frequency response is the same with that of the conventional one near 1.7 GHz center frequency. Including the fifth harmonics, up to 12 GHz spurious responses are suppressed below to -20dB.

This paper describes a new GaAs-based surface-micromachined microstrip line supported by dielectric post and air-gapped signal line with ground metal. This new type of dielectric-supported air-gapped microstripline(DAML) structure is developed using surface micromachining techniques to provide easy means of airbridge connection between the signal lines and to archive low losses at millimeter-wave frequency band with wide impedance range. Each DAMLs with the length of 5 mm are fabricated and the measured characteristics are compared with those of the conventional microstrip transmission line. These transmission lines are composed of 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ height of signal line, post size of 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ ${\times}$ 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and post height of 9 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. By elevating the signal lines from the substrate using the micromachining technology, the substrate dielectric loss can be reduced Compared with of the conventional microstrip transmission line showing 7.5 dB/cm loss at 50 GHz, the loss can be reduced to 1.1 dB/cm loss at 50 GHz.

This study experimentally demonstrates the use of active muffler attached to the automotive exhaust system to reduce exhaust noise. For improving the signal to noise ratio in the process of estimation of secondary path transfer functions, the on-line algorithm that conventional inverse modeling is combined with adaptive line enhancer is used as the control algorithm. Active muffler is designed that the primary noise and the control sound are propagated as a plane wave in the outlet. Therefore, the error microphone could be placed out of the tail pipe center of a high temperature and the radiation noise to the outside could be reduced in the whole area around the outlet. The control experiment for reducing exhaust noise with active muffler is implemented during run-up at no load. From the experimental results presented, compared with the conventional off-line method, the proposed on-line method is capable to acquire a reduction of exhaust noise above 5 dB in overall sound power level.

This paper proposes an approach of Mult_HPSO based on the PC cluster system to reduce or remove the stagnation on an early convergence effect of PSO, reduce an execution time and improve a search ability on an optimal solution. Hybrid PSO(HPSO) is combines the PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization) with the mutation of conventional GA(Genetic Algorithm). The conventional PSO has operated a search process in a single swarm. However, Multi_PSO operates a search process through multiple swarms, which increments diversity of expected solutions and reduces the execution time. Multiple Swarms are composed of unsynchronized PC clusters. We apply to SCED(security constrained economic dispatch) problem, a nonlinear optimization problem, which considers line flow constraints and N-1 line contingency constraints. To consider N-1 line contingency in power system, we have chosen critical line contingency through a process of Screening and Selection based on PI(performace Index). We have applied to IEEE 118 bus system for verifying a usefulness of the proposed approaches.
