위성 단말기가 차량 이동하면서 통신을 유지하려면 실시간 안테나 방위각과 앙각 보정이 필요하다. 앙각 보정은 안테나에 유입되는 외부 잡음온도 변동을 수반하여 시스템 G/T에 영향을 끼친다. G/T는 안테나이득 G(Gain)와 잡음온도 T(Noise temperature)의 비율로 표현되며, 안테나 이득설계에 필요한 중요 성능지수이다. 본 논문은 앙각변동을 고려한 G/T 분석 및 안테나 설계절차 수립을 목표로 한다. 이를 위해 ITU-R P.372 Radio Noise 권고사항에 따라 강우감쇠를 포함한 휘도온도와 앙각과의 관계를 분석하였다. 다음에 분석결과를 기반으로 안테나를 제작하여 G/T 측정에 의한 설계절차를 검증하였다. 이 실험을 통해 앙각에 따른 G/T를 확인하였으며, 시스템에서 요구되는 최소 안테나 이득 분석 및 설계절차를 수립할 수 있었다.

A high-gain wideband low noise amplifier (LNA) using $0.25-{\mu}m$ Gallium-Nitride (GaN) MMIC technology is presented. The LNA shows 8 GHz to 15 GHz operation by a distributed amplifier architecture and high gain with an additional common source amplifier as a mid-stage. The measurement results show a flat gain of $25.1{\pm}0.8dB$ and input and output matching of -12 dB for all targeted frequencies. The measured minimum noise figure is 2.8 dB at 12.6 GHz and below 3.6 dB across all frequencies. It consumes 98 mA with a 10-V supply. By adjusting the gate voltage of the mid-stage common source amplifier, the overall gain is controlled stably from 13 dB to 24 dB with no significant variations of the input and output matching.

A noise suppression algorithm is proposed for nonstationary noisy environments. The proposed algorithm is different from the conventional approaches such as the spectral subtraction algorithm and the minimum statistics noise estimation algorithm in that it classifies speech and noise signals in time-frequency bins. It calculates the ratio of the variance of the noisy power spectrum in time-frequency bins to its normalized time-frequency average. If the ratio is greater than an adaptive threshold, speech is considered to be present. Our adaptive algorithm tracks the threshold and controls the trade-off between residual noise and distortion. The estimated clean speech power spectrum is obtained by a modified gain function and the updated noisy power spectrum of the time-frequency bin. This new algorithm has the advantages of simplicity and light computational load for estimating the noise. This algorithm reduces the residual noise significantly, and is superior to the conventional methods.

This paper presents a tracking gain-up controller design method to control effectively the vibration of tracking actuator caused by external shocks and remaining velocity after seek control. A pole placement constraint is considered to assure a desired transient response against the vibration of tracking actuator. A loop gain-up constraint is introduced to hold the tracking gain-up loop gain and control bandwidth within allowable bounds. The pole placement constraint is expressed by a matrix inequality and the loop gain-up constraint is considered as an objective function so that genetic algorithm can be applied. Finally, a tracking gain-up controller is obtained by integrating a genetic algorithm with LMI design approach. The proposed tracking gain-up controller design method is applied to the track-following system of a DVD recording device and its effectiveness is evaluated through the experimental results.

In this paper, we provide a robust track-following controller design method for the stable coarse seek control. Due to the inaccurate velocity control during a coarse seek, the shake of fine actuator is generated and thus a gain-up track-following control is required to complete stably the coarse seek. To this end, a loop gain adjustment algorithm is introduced to estimate accurately the shake of fine actuator. A weighting function can be properly selected from a minimum tracking gain-up open-loop gain, calculated from the estimated shake quantity of fine actuator. A robust tracking gain-up controller is designed by considering a robust $H_{\infty}$ control problem using the weighting function. The proposed design method is applied to the coarse seek control system of an optical rewritable drive and is evaluated through the experimental results.

본 논문에서는 캐스코드 결합 HBT의 이미터와 베이스단에 인덕터를 설치하여 저잡음과 고이득 특성을 동시에 나타내는 MMIC-LNA 증폭기를 설계하였다. 제작된 MMIC 증폭단은 3mA, 2.7V의 바이어스 조건에서 이득은 3.7GHz에서 약 19dB, 잡음지수는 2.7dB를 보였으며, 35dBc의 이미지시호 제거 특성을 보였다. 저 잡음과 고 이득 특성을 갖는 캐스코드 MMIC 증폭단을 이용하여 마이크로파 수신기의 전단부의 설계가 가능함을 보였으며 이미지 제거 필터의 성능을 만족시키기 위하여 능동필터와 함께 설계할 경우 RF 수신 전단부의 완전한 MMIC 설계가 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, a small size, $7{\times}6\;mm^2$, Low Noise Amplifier(LNA) using LTCC process was fabricated with multi-layer structure for 2.4GHz wireless LAN. The measured results demonstrate that the bandwidth is 130 MHz, and the operating frequency is from 2.39GHz to 2.52GHz. The power gain is above 7.3 dB in the operating frequency range and the gain flatness is 0.5 dB. The maximum S11 is -4 dB and the maximum S22 is -7.5 dB. The noise figure is less than 1.83 dB. The measured power gain, S11 and S22 were had poorer performance than the simulation results. The reason for this discrepancy is that the input and output matching was not performed exactly. However, the noise figure of the LTCC low noise amplifier is better than simulation result. It is found that it is possible to fabricate a LTCC low noise amplifier in a small size.

해양에서 배열센서를 사용하여 신호를 수신하는 경우 성능을 측정하는 척도로서 배열이득(Array Gain, AG)을 사용한다. 배열이득은 배열의 형상, 주파수 및 해양환경에 의한 소음의 방향성에 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 배열이득을 모델링하고 예측하기 위하여 공간상관성을 이용하였으며, 해상실험을 통해서 예측모델을 검증하였다. 예측 모델에서는 임의형상의 배열 및 소음의 방향성을 고려할 수 있는 신호와 소음의 공간상관성을 사용하여 배열이득을 계산하였다. 해상실험에서는 예인음원을 이용하여 CW(Continuous Wave)를 수평배열센서로 수신하였으며, 송신신호 사이에 주변 소음을 측정하였고, 이로부터 개별센서와 배열센서의 SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio)을 계산하여 배열이득을 추정하였다. 최종적으로 실험적으로 측정한 배열이득과 예측모델을 이용한 배열이득을 비교 검증하였다.

In this paper, we assume that an output sensor of a ball and beam system is coupled with AC measurement noise. We propose an output feedback controller for a ball and beam system under measurement noise of feedback sensor. Measurement noise makes feedback signals distorted, and results in performance degradation or even system failure. Therefore, we need to design a robust controller to accommodate the possible measurement noise in the feedback information. Our controller is equipped with a gain-scaling factor to minimize the effect of measurement noise in output feedback information. We give an analysis of the controlled system and illustrate the improved control performance via simulation and experiment for a ball and beam system.

In digital radiography, to improve the contrast of digital radiography image, the multi-scale nonlinear amplification algorithm based on unsharp masking is one of the major image enhancement algorithms. In this paper, we used the Laplacian pyramid to decompose a digital radiography(DR) image. In our simulation, the DR image was decomposed into seven layers and the coefficients of the each layer was amplified with nonlinear function. We also imported a noise containment algorithm to limit noise amplification. To enhance the contrast of image, we proposed a new adaptive non-linear gain amplification coefficients. As a result of having applied to some clinical data, a detail visibility was improved significantly without unacceptable noise boosting. Images that acquired with the proposed adaptive non-linear gain coefficients have shown superior quality to those that applied similar gain control method and expected to be accepted in the clinical applications.
