Facility power-line electromagnetic interference (EMI) filters are used to provide radio frequency(RF) isolation between dedicated power distribution services and noise sensitive local power distribution systems. This type of EMI filters generally needs a high current capacity and, in some special applications, a high insertion loss of a minimum 100dB from 14kHz through 10GHz per MIL-STD 220 is required. This paper deals with an analysis and design of a wideband facility power-line EMI filter with the above requirements. The characteristics of the inductor and capacitor at high frequencies are investigated. The characteristics and design method of the facility EMI filter with a high order LC network are also presented. The prototype filter is finally implemented and its performance is verified from the experimental results.

In this paper, we have proposed a printed monopole antenna using parasitic elements. The broadband characteristics of the antenna is obtained by using the printed monopole and parasitic elements. To confirm the broadband characteristics of the antenna, of have designed and fabricated the proposed antenna. The return loss and radiation patterns are measured in the frequency range of$0.8{\sim}1.2\;GHz$. The measured results show that the proposed antenna has return loss less than -10 dB in the operating frequency band and the radiation pattern is the dipole-like patterns. The antenna gain varies from 1.7 to 4.6 dBi in the operating frequency band. Thus, the proposed antenna can be used for the broadband repeater antenna $0.806{\sim}0.960\;GHz$(TRS-800, CDMA and GSM-900).

In this paper, an effective method has been proposed for selection of white Gaussian noise(WGN) band for radio background noise measurement system under broad band noise environment. MMN which comes from industrial devices and equipment mostly happens in the shape of broad band noise mostly like impulsive noise and this is the main reason for increasing level in the present radio noise measurements. The existing method based on singular value decomposition has weak point that it cannot give good performance for the broad band signal because it uses signal's white property. The proposed method overcomes such a weakness of singular value decomposition based method by using signal's Gaussian property based method in parallel. Moreover, this proposed method hires a modelling based method which uses parameter estimation algorithm like maximum likelihood estimation(MLE) and gives more accurate result than the method using amplitude probability distribution(APD) graph. Experiment results under the natural environment has done to verify feasibility of the proposed method.

This study is damage evaluation for CNG fuel tank during the burst test through the analysis of acoustic emission signals. Kaiser effect until the pressure 420 bar appears, but More than 420 bar by the creep effect appears significantly damaged vessels, and 480 bar pressure, the Kaiser effect of the rising phase was missing. Resonant transducer at 540 bar than 480 bar decreased activity such as energy and count Continually, but increased wideband transducer. In addition, through the rise time or frequency analysis of composite pressure vessels in order to observe the damage mechanisms wideband transducer is more effective than resonant transducer.

In this paper, the performance of DS-CDMA system with smart antenna is analyzed for different bandwidths (1.25MHz,5MHz) and different channel environments (rural, urban) in wideband multipath channel. For the analysis of smart antenna system, the vector channel having the spatio-temporal correlation is modeled as a time-variant linear filter in time, and each multipath is assumed as a reflective wave from only one direction (only one cluster) in space. Several multipath is within one chip are distingushed into each one and the strongest signal is selected, DS-CDMA system with smart antenna using wider bandwidth present better performance than that using narrow bandwidth. It is shown that the smart antenna is more effective in urban area when using 2D-RAKE receiver.

Performing wideband DDC while quantizing signal over a wide dynamic range and high speed sampling rate have primarily been implemented in a hardware such as, FPGA or ASIC because of time-consuming job. Real-time wideband DDC SW, even though signal environment changes, adapt to signal environment flexibly and can be reused. In addition, it has a lower price than the hardware implementation. In this paper, we study the system design that can be stored in real time designing a high-speed parallel processing architecture for SW-based wideband DDC. Finally, applying a Ping-Pong Buffering mechanism for receiving a signal in real time and CUDA for a high-speed signal processing, we verify wideband DDC design procedure that meets the signal processing.

Amanita subgenus Lepidella is a well-known group that includes lethal amanitas. However, the taxonomic investigation of Korean Amanita species is still in progress. In this study, we collected Amanita specimens in Korea from 2009 to 2015 and classified 22 of them as subgenus Lepidella based on the morphology. Phylogenetic analysis of the 22 Amanita specimens based on the internal transcribed spacers sequences identified 16 phylogenetic species which included three undescribed Amanita species (A. sepiacea, A. modesta and A. kotohiraensis). Microscopic features of newly recorded Amanita species were photographed and line drawings were made. All collections cited here are deposited in the Herbarium Conservation Center of the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences.

Wideband speech, characterized by a bandwidth of 50∼7000 ㎐, sounds more natural and intelligible, and is less tiring to listen to when compared to narrowband speech characterized by a bandwidth of 300∼3400 ㎐. Wideband speech coders, however, have not been as successful as the narrowband speech coders because of their higher bit rate. In this paper, we propose a new wideband speech coder which combines the European standard of a narrowband speech coder, i.e., GSM-EFR, and a transform coder using the discrete wavelet transform. The proposed wideband speech coder operates as follows input speech is first split into two subbands with equal bandwidth and the two subband signals are coded and decoded by each subband coder. A GSM-EFR is adopted as a lower subband coder and a subband coder with wavelet transformed speech is designed for a upper subband coder. The total bit rate of the proposed coder is 18.9kbps (12.2 kbps for lower band coder and 6.7 kbps for upper band coder), and informal listening test results have shown that the proposed coder has comparable speech quality to that of G.722 with 56 kbps.

The absorption performance of a metal-backed single layered electromagnetic wave absorber is optimized at matching conditions of thickness and frequency indicating the maximum returns loss of incidence electromagnetic wave in the contour map. These matching conditions are obtained by applying the electromagnetic impedance to the transmission line theory, which depend on the complex permeability and complex permittivity of absorber material. The magnetic materials with high permeability can enhance the matching thickness condition to the wide frequency range based on the decrease of permeability with frequency and it can be used as a wideband electromagnetic wave absorber material. Therefore, the magnetic materials with higher saturation magnetization and lower permittivity than NiZn ferrite can be applied to the wideband electromagnetic wave absorber in order to satisfy the newly enforcing the electromagnetic compatibility regulation in the future.

In this paper, we have designed and fabricated a broadband 2-stage MMIC amplifier. Broadband characteristics could be obtained by compensated matching networks in a 2-stage amplifier design. This method is compensating low gains at lower frequencies in the 1st-stage with higher gains at lower frequencies in the 2nd- stage and then finally flat gains are obtained in the wide frequency ranges. Also, we have obtained not only broadband characteristics but also high gain using compensation matching network. The fabricated amplifier is measured by attaching on the test PCB(Printed Circuits Board). The measurement results are bandwidth of 1.1~2.8 GHz, S$_{21}$ gain of 11.1$\pm$0.3 ㏈ and P1㏈ of 12.6 ㏈m at 2.4 GHz.
