A microwave PIN diode 4-bit phase shifter is designed in X-band. A loaded-line type is used for the 22.5$^{\circ}$ and 45$^{\circ}$ bits, and a switched-line type for the 90$^{\circ}$and 180$^{\circ}$bits. The measured results show that the phase error and average insertion loss are less than $\pm$5.4$^{\circ}$and 7.2dB, respectively, over a 9.75~10.25GHz frequency band.

In this study, the uncertainty requirements for orbit, attitude, and burn performance were estimated and analyzed for the execution of the $1^{st}$ lunar orbit insertion (LOI) maneuver of the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) mission. During the early design phase of the system, associate analysis is an essential design factor as the $1^{st}$ LOI maneuver is the largest burn that utilizes the onboard propulsion system; the success of the lunar capture is directly affected by the performance achieved. For the analysis, the spacecraft is assumed to have already approached the periselene with a hyperbolic arrival trajectory around the moon. In addition, diverse arrival conditions and mission constraints were considered, such as varying periselene approach velocity, altitude, and orbital period of the capture orbit after execution of the $1^{st}$ LOI maneuver. The current analysis assumed an impulsive LOI maneuver, and two-body equations of motion were adapted to simplify the problem for a preliminary analysis. Monte Carlo simulations were performed for the statistical analysis to analyze diverse uncertainties that might arise at the moment when the maneuver is executed. As a result, three major requirements were analyzed and estimated for the early design phase. First, the minimum requirements were estimated for the burn performance to be captured around the moon. Second, the requirements for orbit, attitude, and maneuver burn performances were simultaneously estimated and analyzed to maintain the $1^{st}$ elliptical orbit achieved around the moon within the specified orbital period. Finally, the dispersion requirements on the B-plane aiming at target points to meet the target insertion goal were analyzed and can be utilized as reference target guidelines for a mid-course correction (MCC) maneuver during the transfer. More detailed system requirements for the KPLO mission, particularly for the spacecraft bus itself and for the flight dynamics subsystem at the ground control center, are expected to be prepared and established based on the current results, including a contingency trajectory design plan.

Outdoor experimental study is presented the insertion loss caused by barrier considering discontinuous ground condition. Measurements ware made in 1/3 octave band over the frequency range 315 Hz~3150 Hz with the various geometry of the source, receiver and barriers. The frequency range of the interference pattern depends on the phase difference between path from the edge of barrier to receiver, and hence on the acoustical properties of the ground on the receiver side of the barrier. The insertion loss by barrier, in addition to diffraction, is shown to be dependent on the ground characteristic.

The purpose of this study is to materialize the viscosity sensor by using the SH-SAW sensor of which the center frequency is operated at higher than 50 MHz. In order to measure the viscosity, SAW sensor of which the center frequency is operated at 100 MHz is developed. By using the developed sensor, phase shift, delay time, insertion loss, and frequency variation are measured at different viscosity. The result shows that the phase shift difference between the viscosity variations is such that the difference between the distilled water and the 100 % glycerol solution is approximately $45^{\circ}$, the change of the insertion loss is approximately 9 dB, and the difference of frequency variation is approximately 5.9 MHz. Therefore, it is shown that viscosity of unknown solution can be measured with the surface acoustic wave sensor.

In this paper, we propose a 4-coupled ferroelectric-based meander-type microstrip-line tunable phase shifter which has less than 2dB of insertion loss (IL) and larger than 10dB of return loss (RL)over 13~170Hz .Particularly at 15GHz, the differential phase shift (DPS) is observed to be $89{\circ}$ at zero bias and it increases up to $115{\circ}$ when 150V is applied. This indicates a DPS tunability of $26{\circ}$.

The potential for recriticality and sub-critical boron concentrations is analyzed during the relocation of the fuel rods in the assembly, which we call late phase of a severe accident, via coupling between MELCOR and whole-core Monte Carlo analyses by Serpent 2. The recriticality, initiated during the early phase, is found to maintain when the fuel assemblies containing intact fuel rods are submerged by the cooling water. It is also found that the effect of the negative reactivity insertion via remaining fission products in the fuel debris increases as the burnup increases. The sub-critical boron concentrations during the late phase are found to be 76~544 ppm lower than those during the early phase. Therefore, it can be concluded that the boron concentration that prevents recriticality not only during the early phase but also during the late phase is the sub-critical boron concentration during the early phase.

The paper proposes a well structured, component count waned single phase multilevel inverter (MLI) topology, which drives three different modules viz. Stipulation Based Sources Insertion (SBSI) module, Level Count Increasing (LCI) module and Inter-Linking H-Bridge (ILHB) module. The SBSI module confronts the number of basic sources needed in series/parallel to achieve required magnitude for any particular level. The LCI possesses an offsetting dc source and opuses to increase the number of levels and the ILHB module links the SBSI and LCI modules. A developed Hybrid Pulse Width Modulation (HPWM) strategy has PWM pulses for the switches of LCI module while the switches of the remaining two modules function at fundamental switching frequency. A fifteen level version of the proposed stipulation based sources insertion MLI (SBSIMLI) topology is simulated in MATLAB R2010a and a prototype of the similar specifications is constructed to validate the performance by experimental results. The comparison between the developed SBSIMLI topology and the competent topologies shows many interesting facts.

OFDM is effective for the high speed data transmission. However, the nonlinear distortion is a serious problem because of the high PAPR due to many subcarriers. The conventional SLM selects the OFDM signal with the lowest PAPR. In this method, OFDM data can be correctly recovered only if the side information about the phase sequence is transmitted to receiver. This paper proposes a new method of side information insertion into the conventional SLM and reduces the computational complexity by adaptive method. Performances are compared in case that three kinds of phase sequences are used for phase rotation factor. The adaptive SLM method has the same PAPR reduction as the conventional SLM method. The required BER can be guaranteed by the proposed method. When subcarrier number N=32, computational complexity is reduced to 48 %, 72 % and 51 % for the branch number U=4, 8 and 16, respectively.

This paper presents the design and implementation of Q-band MMIC phase shifters using InGaAs PIN diodes. The topology using a thin-film microstrip line(TFMS) has been proposed to achieve the desired phase-shift as well as good loss characteristics. Five single-bit MMIC phase shifters have been implemented by using a developed BCB(benzocyclobutene)-based multi-layer fabrication technology. The developed phase shifters have less than 3.4 dB of insertion loss and better than 11 dB of input and output return loss in the frequency range of 43 to 47 GHz. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first demonstration of high-performance InGaAs PIN diode-based MMIC phase shifters operating at Q-band frequencies.
