We have developed a novel digital feedback predistortion(DFBPD) linearization based on RF feedback PD for the wide bandwidth modulated signals. The wideband PD operation is carried out by combining the DFBPD and memory lookup table(LUT). To experimentally demonstrate the linearization performance of the proposed PD technique for wideband signal, a class-AB amplifier using an LDMOSFET MRF6S23140 with 140-W peak envelope power is employed at 2.345 GHz. For a forward-link 2FA wideband code-division multiple-access signal with 10 MHz carrier spacing, the proposed DFBPD with memory LUT delivers the adjacent channel leakage ratio at an 10 MHz offset of -56.8 dBc, while those of the amplifier with and without DFBPD are -43.2 dBc and -41.9 dBc, respectively, at an average output power of 40 dBm. The experimental result shows that the new DFBPD with memory LUT provides a good linearization performance for the signal with wide bandwidth.

In the early stage of helicopter design, an optimal configuration is usually determined after a numerous parametric study about the aerodynamic performance due to geometric variation. In order to improve the aerodynamic performance of a shrouded tail rotor, optimization of the tip clearance gap between blade and shroud, the blade planform shape, and the arrangement of blade spacing is required. In the present study, the aerodynamic performance characteristics of a shrouded tail rotor due to geometric variation was investigated by using an inviscid compressible unstructured mesh flow solver for rotary wings.

It has been applied several ways in order to prevent traffic accidents and speed management on the road which is one of very important factors to prevent accidents. In this study, it is analyzed whether the facility such as the flashing and crosswalk, speed cameras and intermittent warning signs affect on a driving deceleration or not. It has been shown that the flashing and crosswalk and speed cameras except intermittent warning signs play a role of reducing the driving speed. The result showed that these traffic safety facilities help to improve the average speed as well as velocity distribution which was derived by the speed deviation even if there were the difference between facilities. Speed limit display does not affect the deceleration of the driver. Therefore, it was founded in this research that there were the driving speed reduction effect due to the facilities on the road. In order to control the driving speed on the road, it is necessary to install facilities with appropriate location and spacing on the road. In addition, place that turns out suppressed speeding through speed management also are required adequate facilities such as speed cameras.

We examine rigorous computations on microstructural as well as rheological properties of concentrated dispersions of bidisperse colloids. The NVT Monte Carlo simulation is applied to obtain the radial distribution function for the concentrated system. The long-range electrostatic interactions between dissimilar spherical colloids are determined using the singularity method, which provides explicit solutions to the linearized electrostatic field. The increasing trend of osmotic pressure with increasing total particle concentration is reduced as the concentration ratio between large and small particles is increased. From the estimation of total structure factor, we observe the strong correlations developed between dissimilar spheres. As the particle concentration increases at a given ionic strength, the magnitude of the first peak in structure factors increases and also moves to higher wave number values. The increase of electrostatic interaction between same charged particles caused by the Debye screening effect provides an increase in both the osmotic pressure and the shear modulus. The higher volume fraction ratio providing larger interparticle spacing yields decreasing high frequency limit of the shear modulus, due to decreasing the particle interaction energy.

The water-in-fuel droplets were applied to investigate the effect of mixing ratio between water and decane, ambient temperature, droplet size and spacing between droplets on ignition and micro-explosion in a heated chamber with high temperature. The ignition temperature of droplet was found lower as the droplet size was increased and the contents of water was decreased. The life time of droplet, however, decreases as the contents of water increases due to the micro-explosion. The occurrence of micro-explosion also increases as the size of droplets and the ambient temperature increase. The flame spread speed gets faster as the contents of water and the number of suspender decreases.

A study on the number density in a dual beam LDV is carried out with moving particles of various irregular arrangements. Ratious of the particle diameter to the particle to the fringe Spacing are D/.delta. = 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5. In the case of the small number of moving particles(N<10), the visibility is influenced much by the difference of the phase of particles for one side fringe and the change in visibility is shown remarkable. In the case of the larger number of particles, the decreasing rate for visibility on the graph is smooth because the effect of the phase difference of particles is decreased by more unitorm distribution of particles over fringes. And the formula of the number density on the basis of probability is fairly compared with experimental values.

The research was conducted with the aim of determining effects of seedling age on the yield of four fine rice varieties viz., Kalizura, Tulshimala, BRRI (Bang-ladesh Rice Research Institute)-37 and BRRI-38. The seedling of different ages such as 15, 25, 35 and 45 days were transplanted on the same day maintaining $25cm{\times}15cm$ spacing. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The yield and yield contributing characters were influenced by seedling age, variety and their interaction. BRRI-38 gave the highest number of effective tillers $hill^{-1}$, panicle length, total spikelets $panicle^{-1}$, grains $panicle^{-1}$, 1000-grains weight and grain yield. Likewise, yield and yield contributing characters were the highest in 35 days old seedling. On the other hand, the variety (BRRI-38) with the same age as of seedlings 35 days old seedlings was found superior to other interactions, but, in the production of grains $panicle^{-1}$ and 1000-grains weight there was no significant effect in this interaction. From the findings it may be inferred that BRRI-38 with 35 days old seedlings produced the highest grain yield.

The BWIM(Bridge Weigh-In-Motion) is a technology to identify vehicle properties, such as weight, speed, axle spacing and running lane, passing over a bridge by using dynamic response of bridge member. Such information will be used for assessing durability and establishing a maintenance strategy of roadway structures. In this paper, as a first step for developing BWIM system, analytical and experimental studies were conducted in order to verify whether the response of vertical stiffener in steel girder bridge can be used to identify vehicle properties running on the bridge. It was known from this study that such vehicle information could be estimated reasonably by using strain time history curve of a vertical stiffener due to running vehicles. It is because the effect of each axle-load of vehicle appears definitely in the curve. However, as the magnitude of strain of vertical stiffener is effected by running pattern of vehicles, further study is necessary to reduce error when estimating vehicle weight.

Multiple ground rods are commonly used to obtain the low ground impedance, but they will not reduce the ground impedance unless the spacings between the ground rods are sufficient. This paper presents the experimental results of frequency-dependent resultant ground impedance of two ground rods in parallel. The resultant ground impedance of two ground rods in parallel were measured as functions of the spacing and length of ground rods and the frequency of test currents and were discussed based on the potential interferences. As a consequence, the frequency-dependent ground impedance of single ground rod and two combined ground rods give capacitive. It was found that the effect of potential interference on the ground impedance is directly associated with the frequency-dependent ground impedance and is strong in low frequency. Also, in order to reduce the increasing rate of resultant ground impedance of two ground rods due to potential interference to within 10(%), two ground rods in parallel will be placed over one rod length apart.
