Current mobile communication systems utilize the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission technique as an important means to enhance the bandwidth efficiency. Accurate beamforming via channel estimation contributes to the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) increase and the system performance improvement when MIMO transmission techniques are employed. Therefore, determination of beamforming vectors as well as the design of appropriate codebooks defining these codevectors play an important role in system operation. In this paper, we statistically analyze the phase difference between the channels corresponding to adjacent antenna elements in order to design an efficient codebook for uniform circular arrays (UCAs). We introduce new parameters which compensate for the additional phase difference observed in its probability density functions (PDFs). The performance of the proposed codebook is tested using the spatial channel model (SCM) to demonstrate its gain over the standard codebooks adopted in the long term evolution (LTE) Releases 8 and 10.

RF 플라즈마의 경우 일반적인 싱글 랑뮤어 프루브를 사용하여 I-V 파형을 구하는 경우에, 우리는 시평균한 값만을 구할 수 있다. 일반적인 플라즈마 반응 챔버의 구조상, 양 전극의 크기가 다르기 때문에, 시간에 따라 진동하는 플라즈마 포텐셜의 형태는 정확한 사인파의 형태가 아니다. 그렇기 때문에 플라즈마 포텐셜에 따라서 진동하는 데이터를 시평균한 값에는 DC 오프셋 성분이 나타난다. 이러한 DC 오프셋값은 랑뮤어 프루브를 통한 플라즈마 포텐셜 측정시에 오차로 나타난다. 우리는 DC 오프셋에 의한 에러값을 보정하기 위해 멀티 프루브를 사용할 수 있다. 가장 흔하게 쓰이는 듀얼 랑뮤어 프루브의 경우를 살펴보면, 내부의 전원이 플로팅되어 있으며 전압인가를 위한 회로 또한 접지에서 절연되어 있기 때문에, 플라즈마 포텐셜이 시간에 따라 흔들려도 전체적인 전위가 플라즈마 포텐셜과 함께 움직이기 때문에, 앞에서 말한 DC 오프셋에 의한 오차를 줄일 수있다는 장점이 있다. 그러나, 이를 위하여는 회로의 절대적인 플로팅이 필요하지만 실제 듀얼 랑뮤어 프루브의 전원 회로를 구현시에는, 트랜스포머 등을 사용하여 회로를 절연시켜도 회로에 기생적으로 발생하는 콘덴서 성분 때문에 플로팅에 영향을 받을 수 있다. 또한 양극과 음극 사이의 내부 임피던스가 다르게 나타난다. 실제로 기존의 듀얼 랑뮤어를 가지고 RF 플라즈마를 측정할 때에, 듀얼 랑뮤어 프루브의 두 팁 간에 서로 다른 전압-전류 파형이 나타나곤 한다. 이러한 두 팁간의 전압-전류 파형의 차이는 두 팁이 물리적으로 완전히 동일한 구조를 가질 수 없기 때문에 발생 하기도 하지만, 위에서 밝힌 원인에 의해서도 발생한다. 이로 인하여 듀얼 랑뮤어 프루브에 의한 I-V 파형은 이론 상 원점을 대칭으로 한 기함수의 형태이어야 하는데, 실제 측정 결과를 보면 이러한 대칭 형태의 모양을 보기 힘들다. 우리는 이에 이를 보정하기 위하여 위상이 180도 차이가 나는 두 개의 삼각파 발생 전원을 각각 듀얼 랑뮤어 프루브의 양 팁에 인가하여 두 팁 간의 내부 저항과 기생 임피던스 등을 일치시킨 프루브를 디자인하였으며 이 프루브를 이용한 실험에서, 비교적 완벽하게 원점에 대하여 대칭하는 I-V 커브를 구할 수 있었다. 이에 이 논문에서는 새로운 회로와 이 회로로 이루어진 듀얼 랑뮤어 프루브를 사용하여 플라즈마를 진단하는 방법에 대하여 기술한다.

In this paper, we propose a simple open loop transmit diversity (TD) scheme for the wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) systems in Rician multipath fading channels such as rural area or satellite channels where line-of-sight (LOS) paths are in presence. The proposed scheme does not require any pre-processing of transmit data, resulting in simpler structure as compared to conventional closed loop transmit adaptive array (TxAA) and open loop space-time transmit diversity (STTD). We analytically derive the probability density function of signal-to-noise ratio at the Rake receiver output and the uncoded bit error rate performance of the proposed scheme. Extensive simulation is Performed to verify the analytical performance of the proposed scheme under typical Rician multipath fading channel environments. Moreover, comparative results with the conventional TxAA and STTD are also provided. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme shows slightly better performance than the conventional open loop STTD under the channels with very weak LOS components, however, it significantly outperforms the STTD under the channels with dominant LOS components, and achieves a close performance of ideal closed loop TxAA.

This paper presents the Doppler Scanning technique which enables us to detect the relative positions of moving distributed sources using Doppler frequency shift estimate when the moving source consists of distributed sources with different signature frequencies. Doppler frequency shifts of characteristic frequencies of machinery noise sources such as ship's generator and propeller, with tine along CPA (Closest Point of Approach of moving source) are unique, and can be functioned with respect to each source position. Therefore, this technique can be applied to estimate the relative geometrical positions between machinery noise sources. The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) which has a high frequency resolution with high time resolution, is adopted for improving accuracy of Doppler frequency shift estimate geometric resolution of machinery positions since machinery noise sources show in general low frequency band characteristics with limited spacial distance. The performance of the technique is examined by the numerical simulations and is verified by the experiment using loudspeaker sources on the roof of the car.

When the multicollinearity presents in the standard linear regression model, ridge regression might be used to mitigate the effects of collinearity. As the prediction-oriented criterion, the integrated mean sqare error criterion $J_w(k)$ was introduced by Lim, Choi & Park(1980). By noting the equivalent relationship between the $C_k$ criterion and $J_w(k)$ with a special choice of weight function $W(x)$, we propose a more reasonable selection rule of k w.r.t. the $C_k$ criterion than that given in Myers(1986). Next, to find the $\beta(k)$ which behaves reasonably well w.r.t. competing criteria, we adopt the minimax principle in the sense of maximizing the worst relative efficiency of k among competing criteria.

In this paper, we suggest those two design plans for power supply method of Hot Standby Sparing System; one is the plan using MTBF based on Constant Failure Rate, and the plan using Reliability Function is the other. Traditionally, RBD (Reliability Block Diagram) is used for reliability prediction which is required to meet any requirements before system operation. However, the system that has redundancy, such as Hot Standby Sparing System, Is not suitable for system reliability modeling using combination model, such as RBD. In this paper, therefore, we demonstrate that for redundancy controller, redundancy modeling design toward fault occurrence design is more effective to build up a system with higher reliability and achieve the effectiveness of loss cost due to maintenance and failure occurred in operation, rather than combinational modeling design.

In the industrial manufacturing sector, quality control is pivotal for minimizing defect rates; inadequate management can result in additional costs and production delays. This study underscores the significance of detecting texture defects in manufactured goods and proposes a more precise defect detection technique. While the DFR(Deep Feature Reconstruction) model adopted an approach based on feature map amalgamation and reconstruction, it had inherent limitations. Consequently, we incorporated a new loss function using statistical methodologies, integrated a skip connection structure, and conducted parameter tuning to overcome constraints. When this enhanced model was applied to the texture category of the MVTec-AD dataset, it recorded a 2.3% higher Defect Segmentation AUC compared to previous methods, and the overall defect detection performance was improved. These findings attest to the significant contribution of the proposed method in defect detection through the reconstruction of feature map combinations.

Solid-state hydrogen storage is gaining prominence as a crucial subject in advancing the hydrogen-based economy and innovating energy storage technology. This storage method shows superior characteristics in terms of safety, storage, and operational efficiency compared to existing methods such as compression and liquefied hydrogen storage. In this study, we aim to evaluate the solid hydrogen storage performance on the nanotube surface by various structural design factors. This is accomplished through molecular dynamics simulations (MD) with the aim of uncovering the underlying ism. The simulation incorporates diverse carbon nanotubes (CNTs) - encompassing various diameters, multi-walled structures (MWNT), single-walled structures (SWNT), and boron-nitrogen nanotubes (BNNT). Analyzing the storage and effective release of hydrogen under different conditions via the radial density function (RDF) revealed that a reduction in radius and the implementation of a double-wall configuration contribute to heightened solid hydrogen storage. While the hydrogen storage capacity of boron-nitrogen nanotubes falls short of that of carbon nanotubes, they notably surpass carbon nanotubes in terms of effective hydrogen storage capacity.

This paper presents the method of measuring the feedback interference channel, which is developed between the transmit and receive antennas of a wireless repeater by receiving the transmit signal at the receive antenna of the identical repeater, and experiment results obtained by analyzing the measurements. This experiment uses 2 GHz WCDMA signal and is carried out near a highway. The high-speed mobiles on highways cause reflected signals with high Doppler frequencies and large energy. In order to characterize the feedback channel, the power delay profile and the scattering function are estimated by identifying the delay spread, the Doppler spread, the number of fingers, and the attenuation with delay. Since the feedback interference channel is constructed between the fixed TX and RX antennas, which is dependent upon the multipaths developed by moving or fixed objects around the antennas, the channel shows different properties comparing to the conventional channels between the base station and the mobile station. Therefore, the results presented in the paper are expected to provide guidelines for designing and evaluating wireless repeater systems.

In this study, we developed a methodology to determine the reference parameter for an aircraft impact induced risk assessment of nuclear power plant (NPP) using finite element impact analysis of containment building. The target structure used to develop the method of reference parameter selection is one of the typical Korean PWR type containment buildings. We composed a three-dimensional finite element model of the containment building. The concrete damaged plasticity model was used for the concrete material model. The steels in the tendon, rebar, and liner were modeled using the piecewise-linear stress-strain curves. To evaluate the correlations between structural response and each candidate parameter, we developed Riera's aircraft impact force-time history function with respect to the variation of the loading parameters, i.e., impact velocity and mass of the remaining fuel. For each force-time history, the type of aircraft is assumed to be a Boeing 767 model. The variation ranges of the impact velocity and remaining fuel percentage are 50 to 200m/s, and 30 to 90%, respectively. Four parameters, i.e., kinetic energy, total impulse, maximum impulse, and maximum force are proposed for candidates of the reference parameter. The wellness of the correlation between the reference parameter and structural responses was formulated using the coefficient of determination ($R^2$). From the results, we found that the maximum force showed the highest $R^2$ value in most responses in the materials. The simplicity and intuitiveness of the maximum force parameter are also remarkable compared to the other candidate parameters. Therefore, it can be concluded that the maximum force is the most proper candidate for the reference parameter to assess the aircraft impact induced risk of NPPs.
