In this paper, we propose a new varactor coupled line structure and design the VCO using the proposed structure. The proposed coupled line structure removes the reflected signals from the varactor diode using an added $\lambda$/4 transmission line. The frequency synthesizers are designed using the PLL technique at Ku-band. The synthesizer using the proposed coupled structure has 38 MHz frequency tuning range and -97 dBc/Hz phase noise characteristic at 100 KHz offset frequency. The measured results show improved tuning range as well as the improved phase noise characteristics compared to the conventional designs.

높은 Q가 요구되는 고주파 신호 처리용 필터 설계에서는 흔히 SC 필터를 사용하고 있다. 처리하고자 하는 신호가 고주파수이고, 선택도 Q 값이 매우 높은 경우에는, SC 필터에 사용하는 증폭기의 성능이 빠르고, 직류 성분 이득이 커야만 한다. 이와 같은 속도와 이득이 요구됨에 따라 일반적인 범용 증폭기는 이득이 충분치 못하여 사용이 제한되고, 설사 범용 증폭기를 이용하여 필터를 구성하였다 해도 그 특성에 많은 제한을 줄 수밖에 없다. 또한 GaAS MESFET op amp의 경우, 최근의 논문에서도 60[dB] 이상의 이득이 제안된 바 없으므로, 필터 구성시 또 다른 설계 기술이 요구된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 GaAS MESFET 능동 SC 적분기의 유한한 이득과 offset 전압을 보정한 새로운 구조의 적분기를 제안한다.

The scattering characteristics of a prime-focus offset-parabolic antenna are analyzed using UTD. First, ray tracing method is used to locate the shadow boundaries, and then UTD is utilized to evalute the far-zone scattered magnetic field pattern. The field components included in the UTD analysis are the reflected, edge diffracted and creeping waves. The effects of circular caps attached to both edges of a prime-focus offset-parabolic antenna are investigated by comparing the scattered magnetic field patterns with those of a knife edge parabolic reflector.

The off-set strip fins (OSF) have been widely used to construct plate-fin heat exchangers. Conventional OSF is constructed in successive rows of fins. New OSF structure is suggested to have a gap between adjacent rows of fins. The gap is intended to reduce fouling by allowing small objects to flow through fins. The objective of this work is to investigate the performance of off-set strip fins with gap between successive rows. Results showed that the performance of OSF with gap can't be predicted by previous correlation.

Constraints on the structure and composition of the active layer are important for understanding permafrost evolution. Soil convection owing to repeated moisture-induced freeze-thaw cycles within the active layer promotes the formation of self-organized patterned ground. Here we present the results of ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys across a selected sorted circle near King Sejong Station, Antarctica, to better delineate the active layer and its relation to the observed patterned ground structure. We acquire GPR data in both bistatic mode (common mid-points) for precise velocity constraints and monostatic mode (common-offset) for subsurface imaging. Reflections are derived from the active layer-permafrost boundary, organic layer-weathered soil boundary within the active layer, and frozen rock-fracture-filled ice boundary within the permafrost. The base of the imaged sorted circle possesses a convex-down shape in the central silty zone, which is typical for the pattern associated with convection-like soil motion within the active layer. The boundary between the central fine-silty domain and coarse-grained stone border is effectively identified in a radar amplitude contour at the assumed active layer depth, and is further examined in the frequency spectra of the near- and far-offset traces. The far-offset traces and the traces from the lower frequency components dominant on the far-offset traces would be associated with rapid absorption of higher frequency radiowave due to the voids in gravel-rich zone. The presented correlation strategies for analyzing very shallow, thin-layered GPR reflection data can potentially be applied to the various types of patterned ground, particularly for acquiring time-lapse imaging, when electric resistivity tomography is incorporated into the analysis.

This paper presents a frequency offset estimation scheme which can be used for packet based OFDM communication systems. The proposed scheme detects the failure of performing coarse frequency offset estimation and compensates the error of estimated coarse frequency offset. The preamble structure considered in this paper is based on the preamble specified in IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11p standards. We performed simulation to compare the performance according to the different number of reference packets used to detect the failure of performing coarse frequency offset estimation. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has better performance than the conventional scheme in the low SNR(below 2dB) environment.

We have investigated the electrical characteristics of the poly-Si TFT's with the novel gate insulator structure. The gate insulator makes the offset region to reduce leakage current, and the electrical characteristics are obtained by employing Virtual Wafer Fab. simulator. As increases the gate insulator thickness above the offset region of this structure from $0{\AA}$ to $2000{\AA}$, the OFF state current at $V_G$=10V decrease by two orders in magnitude while ON state current doesn't decrease significantly. ON/OFF current ratios for conventional device and the proposed device with $2000{\AA}$ gate insulator thickness are $1.68{\times}10^5$ and $1.07{\times}10^7$, respectively.

This paper describes design for dual-linear polarization antenna using EMC(electromagnetic-coupled) dipole. EMC dipole has a simple element structure and it is fed by microstrip line. Vortical and horizontal polarization are determined by structure of dipole fed by microstrip line. FDTD Method is used for an analysis of antenna element. Length, width, height and offset of dipole are designed for 1-element antenna. Resonant length of diploe differs from the calculated value by a formula because of coupling effect of dipole and feed line. Radiation Power is controlled by the offset of dipole. In prectical fabrication of antenna array, a constant height of dipoles is required. Therefore, the teflon plate with height of 0.8 mm is considered in antenna element design for the vertical polarization.

The surface of 3D shell structure is created by using NURBS and nodes for generating finite element mesh on the surface are created by using external node offset method. In so doing the shortest distance between nodes on the top and bottom surface is searched and then the coordinates of nodes are determined by calculating the mid point of them in the middle of top and bottom surface. Triangular elements are formed on mid surface, and the average aspect ratio of the generated triangular elements are over 0.9.

The neck injury occupies the most of injury that happened by the rear impact car accident. This study was analyzed about influence of the neck injury in low speed rear impact and car crash accident investigation. There is no neck injury in low speed side rear impact. On the other hand, there is initial neck injury symptom of 10 % but no long-term neck injury symptom in low speed offset rear impact. It appeared that the possibility of neck injury in low speed rear impact is low. For the more study about the neck injury, it should be evaluate the effects of the car body structure, frame structure and rear crash pattern.
