일반 위상배열초음파 시스템은 배열된 개별의 소자에 시간지연을 적용함으로써 초음파 빔을 조향하고 초음파 이미지를 구성한다. 반면, full matrix capture(FMC)은 위상배열탐촉자에서 가능한 모든 송수신 조합의 A-scan 데이터 전체를 수집하는 신호 수집 방법이며, FMC 데이터의 후처리를 통해 기존 위상배열초음파와 동등한 이미지뿐만 아니라 기존 위상배열초음파에서 구현하지 못하는 다양한 이미지를 합성할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는, 균열 형태의 결함을 영상화할 수 있는 LLL mode total focusing method(TFM)에 대한 기본 알고리즘을 기술하고, 실험 및 초음파 시뮬레이션을 통해 수집된 FMC 데이터에 대해 이 기법을 적용하여 결함의 이미지를 합성하였다.

We describe a new method for removing non-linear phased array antenna aberration called "squint" problem. To develop a compensation scheme. theoretical antenna and artificial neural networks were used. The purpose of using the artificial neural networks is to develop an antenna system model that represents the steering function of an actual array. The artificial neural networks are also used to implement an inverse model which when concatenated with the antenna or antenna model will correct the "squint" problem. Combining the actual steering function and the inverse model contained in the artificial neural network, alters the steering command to the antenna so that the antenna will point to the desired position instead of squinting. The use of an artificial neural network provides a method of producing a non-linear system that can correct antenna performance. This paper demonstrates the feasibility of generating an inverse steering algorithm with artificial neural networks.

A passband-flattening technique based on Fourier optics concept for phased-array wavelength router is presented. For easy control of optical power in each waveguide without phase correction, misaligned array waveguides are used. BPM simulation results indicate that flat passband is as wide as 75 % of the channel spacing with the insertion loss penalty of about 6 dB and with the crosstalk of about -28 dB.

We present simulation methods to accurately determine the transmission efficiency and far-field patterns (FFPs) of a shallow-etched waveguide grating antenna (WGA) formed on a silicon-on-insulator wafer based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach. The directionality and the FFP of a WGA with >1-mm in length can be obtained reliably by simulating a truncated WGA structure using a three-dimensional FDTD method and a full-scale WGA using a two-dimensional FDTD with the effective index method. The developed FDTD methods are applied to the simulation of an optical phased array (OPA) composed of a uniformly spaced WGA array, and the steering-angle dependent transmission efficiency and FFPs are obtained in OPA structures having up to 128-channel WGAs.

This paper describes an advanced compensation for non-linear functions designed to remove steering aberrations from phased array antennas. This system alters the steering command applied to the antenna in a way that the appropriate angle commands are given to the array steering software for the antenna to point to the desired position instead of squinting. Artificial neural networks are used to develop the inverse function necessary to correct the aberration. Also a straightforward antenna steering function is implemented with neural networks for the 9-term polynomials of forward steering function. In all cases the aberration is removed resulting in small RMS angular errors across the operational angle space when the actual antenna position is compared with the desired position. The use of neural network model provides a method of producing a non-linear system that can correct antenna performance and demonstrates the feasibility of generating an inverse steering algorithm.

In this paper, the antenna the with linear active phased array of $1{\times}16$ operated in DBS band was designed. The antenna was composed of sixteen radiating elements, sixteen active channels and five Wilkinson power combiners with 4-channel inputs, a digital control board and a stabilizing DC bias board. The radiating element of the array has the structure of a microstrip stack patch with a left-hand circular polarization. And, each active channel consists of a low noise ampilifier, a 3-bit digital phase shifter and a variable analog attenuator. The breadboard of linear active phased array antenna was also fabricated to test the electrical performances. The radiation patterns of the antenna were measured after correcting initial phases of each active channel in aechoic chamber. And also, the beam scanning chracteristcs of $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$ were measured.

A new approach to the active phased arrays for the second harmonic generation is presented. Phase variation between the second harmonic oscillators by the mutual synchronization is analyzed theoretically. In this coupling, the active antenna consists of the FET oscillator which plays two roles in fundamental oscillation and frequency multiplying, and the patch antenna resonated at the second harmonic frequency. The radiated second harmonic wave was scanned by varying the free-running oscillation frequencies of the active antennas. In the experiment using the 2-elements array and the 4-elements array, the radiated beam of the second harmonic wave was scanned more widely compared with the case of the fundamental wave radiation.

본 논문에서는 위상 배열안테나 급전부를 포함한 반사판 안테나의 빔포밍 특성을 연구하였다. 제안된 안테나의 반사판의 직경, F/D, 급전부의 배열 소자수가 변함에 따라 반사판에 의해 형성되는 빔의 조향각을 계산함으로써 안테나의 빔포밍 특성을 확인하였다. 또한 실제 측정을 통해 제안된 안테나의 빔포밍 특성을 확인하기 위해 직경 1.5 m의 반사판, LPDA(Log Periodic Dipole Array) 4소자로 구성된 급전부를 이용하여 빔포밍 성능을 확인하였다.
