This study aims at modeling the beryllium reflector poisoning under neutron irradiation conditions and calculating the impact of beryllium poisoning on the core parameters of ETRR-2 research reactor. The CITVAP code was used to calculate the neutron flux and parameters of ETRR-2 core with beryllium reflector elements. The neutron flux in each reflector element was calculated to solve the modeling equations for the atomic densities of lithium-6 (⁶Li), tritium-3 (³H), and helium-3 (³He) using the BERYL program. The results are discussed based on CITVAP calculations of the core excess reactivity and cycle length Full Power Days (FPD). Possible solutions to minimize the degradation due to beryllium poisoning are also discussed and compared based on calculations.

Zero offset section을 얻기 위해서는 Common depth gatering을 CDP stacking하여 얻은 방법이 사용되고 있으나 본 논문에서는 exploding reflector개념을 사용하였다. 탄성파 파동 방정식으로부터 상방향 파동장만을 표현하는 일방향 파동 방정식을 얻어 비교하였으며 이때 얻어진 일방향 파동 방정식은 경사각 90도까지 표현가능하며 다른 기법에서는 나타나지 않는 경사각 90도 부근의 Signal도 표현 가능했다. 이러한 결과는 공간영역에서 쉽게 구현할 수 없고 오직 Fourior 방법에 의해서만 가능하다. 본 연구 논문은 위의 기법에 의한 결과를 실질적으로 Process하고 해석하는데 어려움이 많은 overthrust구조에 대해서 ray tracing방법과 wave기법에 의한 결과와 비교하였으며 thrust구조상의 특성에 의해서 상실되고 수집하기 어려운 difrraction signal들도 자세하게 나타낼 수 있었다.

We have investigated the wavelength tuning characteristics due to the vernier effect of coupled-ring reflector laser diode including active region within resonators using time-domain modeling. It is shown that the wavelength can be widely tuned with side mode suppression ratio more than 30dB by adjusting the refractive index difference between mismatched rings.

The modulation bandwidth, wavelength chirp of directly modulated coupled-ring reflector laser diode have been investigated using time-domain modeling. For a specific design, the modulation frequency could be 6 GHz and the frequency chirp could be in the range of $120^{\sim}200$ MHz/mA.

This paper describes design method of Passive-type Radar Reflector (PRR) which is to provide the requirement of newly revised 2000 SOLAS regulations on the Radar Reflector. The main target of this work is to find the optimum shape of a radar target having large Radar Cross Section (RCS). Through the RCS analysis based on the theoretical approach, two kinds of PRR models, RRR-F model for use in fisheries and PRR-S model for use in small sized ship, are designed and discussed their RCS performance. RCS measurement tests for the various sized samples are carried out in an anechoic chamber. As evaluation results it was clearly shown that the conventional sphere-type shows optimum shape in case of PRR-S, while the cylinder-type which consists of large sized corner clusters or zig-zag flat plats gives best performance in case of PRR-F.

Concentration errors critically affect the performance of solar concentrator, so their evaluation is important to the concentrated solar power technology. However, the evaluation is very challenging because error sources are various and not easy to measure individually. Therefore, the integrated effect of concentration errors is often more interesting and useful for large-scale applications. In the present work, we analytically investigate and classify various concentration error sources and then explain that the effect of various concentration errors can be represented in terms of a root mean square value of reflector surface slope error. We present an indirect approach to assessing the reflector surface slope error by comparing solar flux measurement data with modeling calculations. We apply the approach for solar furnaces with different thermal capacity and investigate its advantages and disadvantages.

In this study, we extend the application of the interface-matrix(IM) method for reflector modeling to Analytic Flux Expansion Nodal (AFEN) method. This include the modifications of the surface-averaged net current continuity and the net leakage balance conditions for IM method in accordance with AFEN fomular. AFEN-interface matrix (AFEN-IM) method has been tested against ZION-1 benchmark problem. The numerical result AFEN-IM method shows 1.24% of maximum error and 0.42% of root-mean square error in assembly power distribution, and 0.006%Δk of neutron multiplication factor. This result proves that the interface-matrix method for reflector modeling can be useful in AFEN method.

We developed a transformed, symmetrical, mushroom-like surface without via holes in cells focused on a 2.4-GHz WLAN band. Each slot in the novel type structure plays a key role in modeling at the desired frequencies. The designed artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) has several advantages, including a small size, a wider bandwidth, a short reflecting distance to the antenna, and easy fabrication because there are no via holes. Overall dimensions of the AMC cell are 21 mm $(Width){\times}21mm$ $(Height){\times}2.6mm$ (Thickness), and the bandwidth is about three times wider (11.7%) compared to that of a conventional AMC (4.0%). For evaluating the performance of the proposed structure, a reflector, which periodically consists of the designed AMC cells, was developed. The antenna with the investigated AMC reflector not only works within a quarter of the wavelength because of the extremely high wave impedance generated by the AMC cells on the surface of the structure but also reduces the specific absorption rate (SAR). Electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure to a human phantom was analyzed by applying the designed reflector to the 2.4-GHz dipole antenna in a tablet PC. The calculated peak SAR averaged over 1 g was 0.125 W/kg when the input power was 1 W and the antenna was located at 20 cm from the human phantom. However, the SAR value was only 0.002 W/kg (i.e., 98.4% blocked) when the designed reflector was inserted in front of the antenna.

Film bulk acoustic resonators for radio frequency wireless applications are presented. Various simulations and modeling were carried out. The impedance of a five-layered FBAR showed almost the same trend of the wideband characteristics as that of an ideal FBAR, but the characteristics of the higher modes appear to be much more suppressed. In addition, the wideband impedance decreased with increasing device size. The resonance characteristics depend strongly on the physical dimensions.
