A new approach, using MEMS, for improving the performance of high efficiency amplifiers is proposed in this paper. The MEMS tuning element is described as a variable-length shorted CPW stub. Class-E amplifiers can be optimally tuned by these MEMS tuning elements because their operation varies with the impedance of the output tuning circuit. A MEMS tuning element was simulated using full-wave EM simulators to obtain its S-parameters. A Class-E amplifier with the MEMS was designed at 8GHz. The non-linear operation of this amplifier was simulated to explore the effect of the MEMS tuning. Comparing the initially designed amplifier without MEMS, the Power Added Efficiency (PAE) of the amplifier with MEMS is improved from 46.3% to 66.9%. For the amplifier with MEMS, the nonlinear simulation results are PAE = 66.90%, $\eta$(drain efficiency) = 75.89%, and $P_{out}$ = 23.37 dBm at 8 GHz. In this paper, the concept of the MEMS tuning element is successfully applied to the Class E amplifier designed with transmission lines.

In this study, we developed intelligent spacer built in the internal type UHF PD sensors. 3-Dimensional electro-magnetic simulations were performed to analyze electric-field distribution of the single-phase GIS and three-phase GIS. After considering the spacer's specification, Sensor structures were designed and analyzed using the 3-D EM Simulator. As a result of the simulation the internal type UHF PD sensors were built in. Performance of the sensor built into real scale GIS spacer was measured in terms of return loss and detected Max voltage. And we identified a character of the intelligent spacer by using 5pC partial discharge cell.

본 논문에서는 종이에 전도성 테이프를 이용하여 만든 웨어러블 안테나를 소개한다. 제안하는 안테나는 A4 복사 용지에 반파장 도체 다이폴 스트립과 기생 도체 스트립으로 구성이 되며, SMA 커넥터를 통해 다이폴의 중앙에 급전되는 구조이다. 제안하는 안테나의 모양은 종이 접기에 따라 모양이 달라지며, 따라서 종이를 접었을 때와 펼쳤을 때 안테나의 방사패턴이 가변된다. 이것은 안테나 방사패턴의 영점(null)에 의해 신호의 수신율이 낮아지는 문제점을 해결할 수 있다. 제안하는 안테나의 반사계수와 방사패턴을 900 MHz에서 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 제시하였고, 제안하는 종이 안테나가 900 MHz에서 종이접기 방식에 따라 재구성(reconfigurable) 특성이 있음을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 병렬 결합된 전송 선로에 SIR 구조를 결합하여 가파른 차단 특성과 낮은 상업 손실을 갖는 소형 UWB 대역 통과 여파기를 설계하였다. 대역통과 여파가는 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 최적 설계하였으며, 제작된 대역통과 여파기의 통과대역은 3.1GHz-10.6GHz이고 삽입손실은 8.3GHz에서 0.39dB이며, 반사손실은 9.37GHz에서 12.394dB의 특성을 보였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안된 대역통과 여파기는 경량화이면서도 높은 차수가 가지는 가파른 차단 특성이 요구되는 초고속 통신 시스템에 적용될 수 있다.

In this paper, a ceramic antenna and diplexer are designed for dual-band handset ap plications. Basically, the antenna is designed by using the meander line configuration. The diplexer presented in this paper is composed of both low- and high-pass filters. We have designed the low- and high-pass filters with attenuation poles to improve the attenuation performances of the diplexer. The attenuation poles are located at each rejection frequency region so as to improve the shrinkage characteristic of the diplexer. In order to accomplish the volume effectiveness, the antenna and the diplexer have been designed and fabricated in a multi-layer structure. The diplexer designed with a multi-layer structure has inductors and capacitors, which are implemented by LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) process technique. Design of the multi-layer antenna and diplexer has been achieved by employing the full 3-D EM simulation. The designed antenna and diplexer offer excellent return loss and broadband performances with highly isolated rejection performance.

Recurrent event data can be easily found in longitudinal studies such as clinical trials, reliability fields, and the social sciences; however, there are a few observations that disappear temporarily in sight during the follow-up and then suddenly reappear without notice like the Young Traffic Offenders Program(YTOP) data collected by Farmer et al. (2000). In this article we focused on inference for a cumulative mean function of the recurrent event data with these incomplete observation gaps. Defining a corresponding risk set would be easily accomplished if we know the exact intervals where the observation gaps occur. However, when they are incomplete (if their starting times are known but their terminating times are unknown) we need to estimate a distribution function for the terminating times of the observation gaps. To accomplish this, we treated them as interval-censored and then estimated their distribution using the EM algorithm proposed by Turnbull (1976). We proposed a nonparametric estimator for the cumulative mean function and also a nonparametric test to compare the cumulative mean functions of two groups. Through simulation we investigated the finite-sample performance of the proposed estimator and proposed test. Finally, we applied the proposed methods to YTOP data.

In research on behavioral studies, significant attention has been paid to the stage-sequential process for longitudinal data. Latent class profile analysis (LCPA) is an useful method to study sequential patterns of the behavioral development by the two-step identification process: identifying a small number of latent classes at each measurement occasion and two or more homogeneous subgroups in which individuals exhibit a similar sequence of latent class membership over time. Maximum likelihood (ML) estimates for LCPA are easily obtained by expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, and Bayesian inference can be implemented via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). However, unusual properties in the likelihood of LCPA can cause difficulties in ML and Bayesian inference as well as estimation in small samples. This article describes and addresses erratic problems that involve conventional ML and Bayesian estimates for LCPA with small samples. We argue that these problems can be alleviated with a small amount of prior input. This study evaluates the performance of likelihood and MCMC-based estimates with the proposed prior in drawing inference over repeated sampling. Our simulation shows that estimates from the proposed methods perform better than those from the conventional ML and Bayesian method.

A planar slotted waveguide array antenna has been designed at 9.37 GHz for X-band radar applications. The antenna consists of multiple branchline waveguides with broadwall radiating shunt slots and a main waveguide to feed the branch waveguides through a series of inclined coupling slots. The antenna feed point is located at the center of the main waveguide. Element weights in the array have been calculated bysampling a continuous circular Taylor aperture distribution at the 25 dB sidelobe level in both the E and Hplanes. A commercially available electromagnetic (EM) simulation tool has been used to characterize the individual isolated slot and that data hassubsequently been used to design the planar array. The array is finally analyzed in a CST Microwave studio and the measured and simulated results have been found to be in good agreement.

본 논문에서는 finite-extent backed conductor를 가지는 CPW(Coplanar waveguide) 방향성 결합기에서, 방향성의 향상을 위해 접지면과 전송선 사이의 slot 폭을 확장하는 보상구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 구조는 적절한 slot의 길이와 폭을 가질 경우, 결합기에서의 변화되는 정전용량과 추가된 인덕턴스로 인해 각모드의 위상속도 차이가 없어지므로 우수한 방향성 특성을 갖게 한다. 제안된 보상구조를 이용하여 1 ㎓를 중심주파수로 하는 finite-extent backed conductor를 가지는 CPW 방향성 결합기를 보통의 결합도를 갖는 6 ㏈ 결합기와 높은 결합도를 갖는 3 ㏈ 결합기 형태로 구현하였다 설계된 CPW 방향성 결합기는 MoM(Method of Moments) 방식의 EM solver 계산 결과, 중심주파수에서 목적하는 결합도를 가지면서 각각 55 ㏈와 58 ㏈의 우수한 방향성을 가지며, 정합특성 역시 우수하다. 측정결과는 계산결과와 매우 유사하며, 이를 통하여 제안된 보상구조의 유용성을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we design a 1-kb OTP (Onetime programmable) memory IP in consideration of BCD process based EM (Electro-migration) and resistance variations of eFuse. We propose a method of precharging BL to VSS before activation of RWL (Read word-line) and an optimized design of read NMOS transistor to reduce read current through a non-programmed cell. Also, we propose a sensing margin test circuit with a variable pull-up load out of consideration for resistance variations of programmed eFuse. Peak current through the non-programmed eFuse is reduced from 728 ${\mu}A$ to 61 ${\mu}A$ when a simulation is done in the read mode. Furthermore, BL (Bit-line) sensing is possible even if sensed resistance of eFuse has fallen by about 9 $k{\Omega}$ in a wafer read test through a variable pull-up load resistance of BL S/A (Sense amplifier).
