The active devices used at microwave frequency have the different phase shift according to input power. Especially, The difference of the phase shift is large in the saturation region of the amplifier. In this paper, we disigned the phase control system for fixing the different phase shift at device. With the high frequency nonlinear amplifier, we fabricated such system that the phase shift to be fixed automatically using the varible phase shifter. The variable phase shifter fixed total phase variation of the circuit using the information that was obtained from the comparison of imputsignal phase with output signal phase. Even though the input signal is 2-tone or FM type, we could estimate and also fix the phase variation on DUT Dynamic range is about 10dB. It has been experimented at 1960MHz using Teflon (H=31mil, ${\varepsilon}r$=3.2)

In this paper, a 40 dimensional segment vector with 4 frame and 7 frame width in every monosyllable interval was compressed into a 10, 14, 20 dimensional vector using K-L expansion and neural networks, and these was used to speech recognition feature parameter for CHMM. And we also compared them with CHMM added as feature parameter to the discrete duration time, the regression coefficients and the mixture distribution. In recognition test at 100 monosyllable, recognition rates of CHMM +${\bigtriangleup}$MCEP, CHMM +MIX and CHMM +DD respectively improve 1.4%, 2.36% and 2.78% over 85.19% of CHMM. And those using vector compressed by K-L expansion are less than MCEP + ${\bigtriangleup}$MCEP but those using K-L + MCEP, K-L + ${\bigtriangleup}$MCEP are almost same. Neural networks reflect more the speech dynamic variety than K-L expansion because they use the sigmoid function for the non-linear transform. Recognition rates using vector compressed by neural networks are higher than those using of K-L expansion and other methods.

'Gesture' except for voice is the most intuitive means of communication. Thus, many researches on how to control computer using gesture are in progress. User detection and tracking in these studies is one of the most important processes. Conventional 2D object detection and tracking methods are sensitive to changes in the environment or lights, and a mix of 2D and 3D information methods has the disadvantage of a lot of computational complexity. In addition, using conventional 3D information methods can not segment similar depth object. In this paper, we propose object detection and tracking method using Depth Projection Map that is the cumulative value of the depth and motion information. Simulation results show that our method is robust to changes in lighting or environment, and has faster operation speed, and can work well for detection and tracking of similar depth objects.

Power Quality Compensator(PQC) has been installed to protect the sensitive loads against the voltage disturbances, such as voltage sag and interruption. In general, static switch is used for the purpose of link between utility and PQC. So transfer operation of the static switch play a important part in the PQC. Many studies on the structure and control of PQC have been progressed in active, but these researches have been rarely mentioned about any voltage-disturbances-detection method to start the PQC operation. In this paper, a new voltage-disturbances-detection algorithm for computer application loads using the CBEMA/ITIC curve is proposed for transfer operation of the static switch. The proposed detection algorithm is implemented to get fast detecting time through the comparison of instantaneous 3-phase voltage values transferred to DC values in the synchronous reference frame with the operating reference values. To get the robust characteristics against the noise, a first order digital filter is designed. The magnitude falling and phase delay caused by the filter are compensated through the error normalizing and numerical analysis using transfer function, respectively. Finally, the validity of the proposed algorithm is proved by ACSL simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the wideband beamforming in a conformal phased array antenna by compensating the errors. For the wideband beamforming, we used the True Time Delay(TTD), which was fabricated on the RF circuit board to obtain long delay lines. Beamforming errors in the conformal array antenna are the mutual coupling between the array elements, the dispersive error in the TTD circuit, and the quantization error by the digital control. We apply the compensation algorithm to the conformal phased array antenna of wideband 2~4 GHz, and verify the usefulness by comparing the results with the experiment results.

In this paper, the stability and stabilization problems for marine vessels including surface and underwater vehicles are described. In the marine vessels, there are many and strong nonlinear parameters. These give hard design process and difficulties to us. In this article, at first we make a descriptor system representation as a controlled system to preserve the physical parameters of the system as it is. And we propose a new stability and stabilizability conditions based on the quadratic stabilization approach which gives a solution for the unreasonable problems produced by added mass. That is, the proposed conditions are not interfered with the nonsymmetric matrix constraint. And the stability condition is given by an matrix inequality such that it makes us to obtain a solution easily for something.

Biologically inspired modeling techniques have received considerable attention for their robustness, scalability, and adaptability with simple local interactions and limited information. Among these modeling techniques, Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) play a central role in understanding natural evolution and the development of biological organisms from cells. In this paper, we apply GRN principles to the WSN system and propose a new GRN model for decentralized node scheduling design to achieve energy balancing while meeting delay requirements. Through this scheme, each sensor node schedules its state autonomously in response to gene expression and protein concentration, which are controlled by the proposed GRN-inspired node scheduling model. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme achieves superior performance with energy balancing as well as desirable delay compared with other well-known schemes.

CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is promising medium access control schemes for underwater acoustic sensor networks because of its robustness against frequency-selective fading and high frequency-reuse efficiency. In this paper, we design diversity schemes of underwater CDMA transceiver for the forward and reverse links. User data are multiplexed by Walsh code and a pseudo random noise code acquisition process is added for phase error correction before decoding the user data at the receiver. Then, the diversity reception using equal gain combining and maximal ratio combining is performed in order to minimize performance degradation caused by rich multipath fading of underwater acoustic channel. We evaluated the performance of diversity transceiver through lake experiment, which was performed at Lake Kyungcheon, Mungyeong city using two transmitters and two receivers placed 460 m apart at an average depth of 40 m. The lake experiment results show that user data are recovered with error-free in both of the forward and reverse links.

Owing to the increasing worldwide interest in green technology and renewable energy sources, flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs) are gaining importance as a viable alternative to traditional battery systems. Since the energy storage capacity of an FESS is proportional to the principal mass-moment of inertia and the square of the running speed, a design that maximizes the principal inertia while operatingrunning at the highest possible speed is important. However, the requirements for the stability of the system may impose a constraint on the optimal design. In this paper, an optimal design of an FESS that not only maximizes the energy capacity but also satisfies the requirements for system stability and reduces the sensitivity to external disturbances is proposed. Cross feedback control in combination with a conventional proportional-derivative (PD) controller is essential to reduce the effect of gyroscopic coupling and to increase the stored energy and the specific energy density.
