An accurate design method for rectangular microstrip patch antenna that can be applied to wide range of frequencies (C-band to X-band) is proposed. With due regard the frequency dependent effective dielectric permittivity to design formula, the inaccuracy of previous design formulae can be overcome. The results predicted by new procedure are compared well experimental results that had varying operation frequencies between 7GHz and 15GHz. Antennas are fabricated over microwave substrates with the same dielectric permittivity and thickness. Radiation power patterns are also measured and they well with theoretical values.

본 논문에서는 디지털 보청기의 자동보정법을 제안하고 이를 이용하여 구현한 보정시스템에 대하여 기술한다. 일반적으로 난청환자의 청각 손실은 전 주파수를 걸쳐 일정하게 발생하는 것이 아니라, 고음 또는 저음 등 일부 특정 주파수 대역의 청각특성의 이득이 다른 주파수에 비해 상대적으로 낮아져서 생기는 현상이다. 그러나 현재까지의 보청기는 이와 같은 청각 손실을 가지고 있는 환자들에 대하여 전 주파수 대역의 음압을 동일 비율로 높여주는 문제가 있다. 이와 같은 보청기로 보정하게 되면, 주파수 대역별 균형이 맞지 않기 때문에 소리가 변형되어 들리게 되고, 명료도 또한 떨어지게 된다. 또한, 기존의 아날로그보청기는 생산공정 중에 잡음 피크 제거, 리미터 조정, 이득 조정(GC) 등의 작업을 수동으로 수행하게 되는데, 이는 작업공정이 복잡하고 개개인에 청각특성에 맞는 정확한 보정이 불가능한 문제점을 안고있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 제안한 자동보정 시스템은 각 주파수 대역별 최적화된 파라미터를 자동적으로 찾아서 입력하므로 보다 정확하고 신속한 보정이 가능하게 된다. 이 시스템은 외부 IC 콘트를 장치인 Hl-PRO를 이용하여 PC 환경 하에서Visual Basic으로 구현하였으며 시스템의 출력값을 측정하여 검토한 결과 구현한 자동보정법이 유효함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a planar frequency reconfigurable antenna is proposed with variable capacitors. The proposed one is designed with a planar monopole, and varies resonant frequencies by variable capacitive loading of a varactor diode. The equivalent circuit and electromagnetic(EM) simulation are utilized for the analysis at the variable characteristic design of the antenna, and the same radiation performance. The implemented frequency variable monopole antenna has been verified by comparing prototypes with designed capacitors and ones with biased varactor diodes. The proposed antenna has presented the resonant frequency variations from 2.25 GHz to 2.42 GHz.

This paper proposes that an inverse class-E amplifier is used a tunable parallel resonator at output port in order to maintain a high power-added efficiency(PAE) and output power with wide frequency ranges. A tunable circuit has a constant Q factor at operating frequency ranges and because of using varactor diode, the inductor and capacitor values of resonator can be changed. Also, the inductance value for zero-current switching (ZCS) is implemented a lumped element and the capacitance value is made a distributed element for phase compensation. The inverse class E amplifier using tunable parallel resonator is obtained to deliver 25dBm output power and achieve maximum power added efficiency(PAE) of 75% at 65-120MHz frequency ranges.

In this paper, the digital frequency synthesizer with the clock ccunting method is designed and implemented to increase the performace of the digital frequency synthesizer with pahse accumulating method which was developed before. Unlike an phase accumulating method, clock countind method is supplied a continually changeable clock frequency with PLL(Phase Locked Loop) and allocated a fixed phase step with N-ary counter. Form the experimenta results, it is confirmed that any periodic distorition phenomena are disappeared, and truncation harmonics are more reduced. But the output bandwidths are decreased in inverse proportion to the counter counting number and the circuits are somewhat complex than phase accumulating method.

This paper proposes a ranging and communicating system that uses the UWB frequency slope modulated chirp signal. Instead of using only the up-chirp and down-chirp with the same frequency sweeping rate, the proposed system uses several chirps that have different frequency sweeping rates with frequency hopping. This system performs better than the conventional communication and ranging schemes because it is capable of increasing the data transmission rate and at the same time decreasing the interference between sequences used by users. In this paper, we propose simulations of UWB communication system to show validity by using the MATLAB.

Quantitative ultrasound analysis provides fundamental information of various ultrasound parameters using spectral information of the short-gated radiofrequency(RF) data. Therefore, accurate extraction of spectral information from backscattered RF signal is crucial for further analysis of medical ultrasound parameters. In this paper, we propose two techniques for calculating a more accurate power spectrum which are based on the phase-compensation using the normalized cross-correlation to minimize estimation errors due to phase variations, and the weighted averaging technique to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR). The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method estimates better results with 10% smaller estimation variances compared to the conventional methods.

This paper proposes a spectral efficient space-frequency(SF) block coded single carrier-frequency division multiple access(SC-FDMA) transmission system in a relaying multi-path shadow area. The cyclic prefix(CP) is not used in the proposed system in order to prevent a loss of spectral efficiency due to the use of CP. The destruction of channel cyclicity due to the lack of CP is recovered at the receivers of relays and a destination station. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed system without CP is almost same as that of the conventional system with full CP, thus increasing the spectral efficiency.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method of remote sound extraction using laser Doppler interferometry. The output frequency of a laser Doppler interferometer changes to be the same as the frequency of the acoustic wave from than object vibrated by the sound due to the Doppler effect. Based on this phenomenon, we measure the vibrational frequency of a remote target affected by a sound wave in real time, via laser Doppler interferometry. We track the peak frequency of the interferometer's output via appropriate signal processing, which confirms that the characteristics of the so detected wave are the same as that of the original sound source. We also confirm that the same method can retrieve the sound waves not only from remote sources of single tones, but from those of any sound.

펨토셀(Femtocell), 가정용 기지국(Home Base Station 혹은 Home e-NodeB) 등 여러 가지 이름으로 불리고 있는 초소형 기지국은 셀룰러 망과 동일한 기술을 이용하여 동일 혹은 인접 주파수 영역에서 서비스를 제공하는 일반 사용자 장비이다. 이미 규격화가 완료되어 서비스 중인 무선 접속기술들은 초소형 기지국을 효과적으로 지원하지 못하고 있는 반면 차세대 무선 통신 기술로 논의가 진행 중인 LTE(Long Term Evolution) 시스템에서는 가정용 초소형 기지국을 논의 처음부터 고려하여 무선 접속 기술 및 시스템을 설계하고 있다. 본 고에서는 현재 LTE 시스템에서 펨토셀을 지원하기 위해 고려 중인 다양한 제안들과 결정 사항들을 알아본다.
