In order to control vibration in structures, it is desirable to be able to identify dominant paths of vibration transmission from sources through the structure to some points of interest. Structural intensity vector(power flow per width of cross section) using cross spectra is able to measure the vibration power flow at a point in a structure. This paper describes the structural intensity measurement of 2-dimensional structure. Structural intensity of 2-dimensional structure can be obtained from eight point cross spectral measurement per axis, or two point measurement per axis on the assumption of far field. Approximate formulation of the relation between bending waves in structures and structural intensity makes it possible to separate the wave components by which one can get a state of the vibration field. Experimental results are obtained on an infinite plate at the near and far field in flexural vibration. The measurement error of two point measurement is rather bigger than eight point measurement on account of the assumption that Poisson's ratio is 1. The structural intensity vectors on the plate are checked the ability to identify the path of vibration power flow in random excitation and 200Hz sine excitation, the result of two point measurememt is almost the same as the result of eight point measurement in 200Hz sine excitation.

In this paper, we investigated possible optical parameters causing deviation of experimentally observed output spectra from theoretically predicted results in a high-order fiber comb filter based on a polarization-diversity loop configuration. They include wavelength dependency of half-wave plates (HWPs) inserted in the filter for wavelength switching and the modal birefringence of single-mode fibers (SMFs) with which optical components comprising the filter are connected. In order to consider the effect of the modal birefringence of the SMF on a filter performance, it is modeled as a low birefringence fiber with an arbitrary orientation angle and birefringence. It is found from the simulation results that the modal birefringence of SMFs strongly affects the spectral characteristics of the filter and decreases the extinction ratio of the filter, compared with the wavelength dependency of HWPs. In particular, it is also confirmed that the spectral deviation and asymmetric distortions of side-lobes in narrow band transmission spectra result mainly from the modal birefringence of SMFs.

Many use cases have been presented on providing convenience and safety for vehicles employing wireless access in vehicular environments and long-term evolution communication technologies. As the 70-MHz bandwidth in the 5.9-GHz band is allocated as an intelligent transportation system (ITS) service, there exists the issue that vehicular communication systems should not interfere with each other during their usage. Numerous studies have been conducted on adjacent interfering channels, but there is insufficient research on vehicular communication systems in the ITS band. In this paper, we analyze the interference channel performance between communication systems using distribution functions. Two types of scenarios comprising adjacent channel interference are defined. In each scenario, a combination of an aggressor and victim network is categorized into four test cases. The minimum requirements and conditions to meet a 10% packet error rate are analyzed in terms of outage probability, packet error rate, and throughput for different transmission rates. This paper presents an adjacent channel interference ratio and communication coverage to obtain a satisfactory performance.

A series of conductive filler were prepared with electroless plating method. Base conductive materials of the filler were nickel and copper. The cores were prepared with Nylon 6 and rayon in different aspect ratio. Also, various complexes were made with ABS resin and conductive filler with different filler feed ratio. The conductivity of the filler was measured with conductivity analyzer and the size distributions of fillers was measured with laser particle size analyzer. Electromagnetic wave shielding efficiency of each complex film was measured with flange circular coaxial transmission line sample holder within the 1MHz$\sim$1GHz bandwidth range. From this study, the conductivity of filers surpass that of other carbon films. It is available that the filler made of fibrous materials can be applied in plastic molding industry of electric appliances as a EMI filler.

Recently spaceborne SAR systems are increasing image resolution and frequency. As a high quality image resolution, the wider bandwidth is required and a wideband signal generator with RF component is very complicated and RF impairments of device is increased. Therefore, it is very important to improve performance by reducing these errors. In this study, the transmission signal of the wideband signal generator is applied to the phase noise, IQ imbalance, ripple gain, nonlinear model of high power amplifier. And we define possible structures of wideband signal generator and measure the PSLR and ISLR for the performance assesment. Also, we extract error of the amplitude and phase from the waveform and use a quadratic polynomial curve fitting and examine the performance change due to nonlinear device. Finally, we apply a high power amplifier predistortion method for non-linear error compensation. And we confirm that distortion in the output of the amplifier by intermodulation component is decreased by 15 dB.

This paper proposes a transmitted power saving method for underwater acoustic sensors considering the acoustic wave propagation characteristic that propagation loss increases more rapidly in higher frequency band. In the proposed scheme, sensor nodes are divided into a few groups based on the distance between sink node and the sensor node, and each group uses its own frequency band. The node group with longer distance uses lower frequency and the node group with shorter distance uses higher frequency. By means of such a distance-dependent frequency allocation, all sensor nodes are able to maintain a certain target signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), but also save transmitted power. In addition, the optimum size of node group is obtained, and also a frequency allocation algorithm is proposed accordingly. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme saves transmitted power by more 10 dB comparing non-grouping methods.

In this article, we evaluated the performance of radiofrequency (RF) coils in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and homogeneity of magnetic resonance images when used for ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). High-quality MRI can be obtained when these two basic requirements are met. However, because of the dielectric effect, 7T magnetic resonance imaging still produces essentially a non-uniform magnetic flux (|B₁|) density distribution. In general, heterogeneous and homogeneous RF coils may be designed using electromagnetic (EM) modeling. Heterogeneous coils, which are surface coils, are used in consideration of scalability in the |B₁| region with a high S/N as multichannel loop coils rather than selecting a single loop. Loop coils are considered state of the art for their simplicity yet effective |B₁|-field distribution and intensity. In addition, combining multiple loop coils allows phase arrays (PA). PA coils have gained great interest for use in receiving signals because of parallel imaging (PI) techniques, such as sensitivity encoding (SENSE) and generalized autocalibrating partial parallel acquisition (GRAPPA), which drastically reduce the acquisition time. With the introduction of a parallel transmit coil (pTx) system, a form of transceiver loop arrays has also been proposed. In this article, we discussed the applications and proposed designs of loop coils. RF homogeneous coils for volume imaging include Alderman-Grant resonators, birdcage coils, saddle coils, traveling wave coils, transmission line arrays, composite right-/left-handed arrays, and fusion coils. In this article, we also discussed the basic operation, design, and applications of these coils.

자발형성법(Self-assembled)을 이용한 InAs 양자점(Quantum dots)은 성장법의 고유한 물리적 한계로 길이방향에 대한 수직방향 비율(Aspect ratio, AR)이 상대적으로 작은 값을 갖는다. 기존에 보고된 바에 따르면 GaAs 기판에 형성한 InAs 양자점은 일반적으로 AR이 0.3 정도를 보인다. 이러한 높이가 상대적으로 낮은 InAs 양자점은 수직방향으로 운반자(Carrier)의 파동함수 (Wave-function) 구속이 작게 되어 나노 양자점 구조의 0차원적 특성이 저하되게 된다. 본 논문에서는 Arsenic 차단법(Interruption technique)을 이용한 수정자발형성법(Modified self-assembled method, MSAM)으로 InAs 양자점(MSAM-InAs 양자점)을 형성하고 성장 변수에 따라 광 및 구조적 특성을 평가하여 0차원 순도를 분석하였다. MSAM InAs 양자점을 성장하고 12 nm 두께의 GaAs spacer 층을 증착한 후 $600^{\circ}C$에서 30초 동안 Arsenic 분위기에서 열처리(Annealing)를 수행 한 후 다시 InAs을 증착 하였다. 이러한 과정을 5번 반복하여 높이 방향으로 형상을 개선시킨 InAs 양자점을(Vetically-controlled MSAM, VCMSAM) 성장하였다. 기존 자발형성법을 이용한 InAs 양자점과 MSAM-InAs 양자점 단일층 구조를 기준시료로 성장하였다. 상온 포토루미네슨스(Photoluminescence, PL) 실험에서 단일 MSAM InAs 양자점 및 VCMSAM 양자점 시료의 발광에너지는 각각 1.10 eV와 1.13 eV를 나타내었다. VCMSAM InAs 양자점 시료의 PL세기는 단일 MSAM 양자점보다 3.4배 증가되어, 확연히 높게 나타나는 결과를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 높이 방향으로 운반자의 파동함수 구속력이 증가하여 구속준위 (Localized states)의 전자-정공의 파동함수중첩(Overlap integral)이 개선된 것으로 설명할 수 있다. 투과전자현미경(Transmission electron microscopy) 및 원자력간 현미경(Atomic force microscopy)을 이용하여 구조적 특성을 평가하고 이를 비교 분석한 결과를 보고한다.

A simple method for determining the absorption coefficient of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin in human blood is proposed as an application of the complex propagation constant of a guided wave in a thin-film optical waveguide. A serial multichannel sample chamber is constructed on the waveguide to vary the interaction length between the evanescent field and the sample, and the dependence of the sensor response on the interaction length is investigated for the various concentration of two hemoglobins. The sensor response is linearly proportional to the interaction length and the concentration of two hemoglobins. The attenuation constant due to the evanescent field absorption between the samples is experimentally obtained with the designed sensor, and then the absorption coefficient is determined by the proposed method. The absorption coefficients determined by the proposed method fairly well coincided with those obtained by the conventional transmission measurement.

In this paper, we design and analyze digital retrodirective array antenna (RDA) system in 60GHz wireless communication for low power consumption and high quality. Digital RDA can automatically make beam toward source without information about the direction of incoming signal, this system is able to do low power communication thanks to increased signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) because making the beam toward source can reduce interference signals. The frequency offset seriously arises when millimetric wave band like 60GHz is used to communicate for high-speed transmission. The proposed system is robustly designed to frequency offset through designing digital phase lock loop in order to solve the problem of frequency offset. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the proposed system according to the number of array antenna and frequency offset. striking space.
