In this study, the beamforming characteristics of a reflector antenna, such as a phased array antenna, as a feeder have been studied. The beamforming characteristics were examined by observing the actual steering angle of the reflector according to the diameter, the F/D of the reflector, and the number of array elements of the feeder. In addition, the beamforming characteristics were verified by measurement using a reflector of 1.5 m diameter and a four-element log-periodic dipole array(LPDA).

In this study, an active element pattern (AEP) of a printed dipole was analyzed in 1D and 2D arrays. First, an AEP of the printed dipole was obtained using the simulation in the 2D infinite array. The scan blindness in the 2D array occurred in the E-plane direction at around ${\pm}36^{\circ}$; however, it was barely observed in the 1D array. To analyze the cause of the scan blindness in the 2D array, the dispersion properties of a unit cell was obtained and compared with the scan blindness by frequency change. The difference between the scan blindness of the 1D and 2D arrays was clarified using the comparison of the Q value in the unit cell in the 1D and 2D arrays. Then, the coupling of the electric field in the E-plane direction was observed when nine elements were separated between the two ports in a linearly arranged dipole structure. Finally, the printed dipole array was fabricated, and an AEP was measured for the $11{\times}1$ and $11{\times}3$ sub arrays. The proposed theory was verified using these observations and by comparison with the simulation results.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of malocclusion on the self-esteem of female university students. Methods: The subjects were composed of 67 female university students who showed Class 1 molar relation, no missing or supernumerary teeth and has had no orthodontic treatment experience. Each subject was evaluated with Rosenberg's Self-esteem Scale to measure the level of self-esteem and also evaluated the degree of anterior crowding and lip protrusion through model analysis and cephalometric soft tissue profile analysis. Results: The results showed that a protrusive profile and crowding of upper anterior teeth had significant reducing effects on the level of self-esteem. The protrusion and crowding groups showed no significant differences in self-esteem between groups. Conclusions: Malocclusion had significant negative effects on the self-esteem of female university students. Further research to investigate the negative psychological influence of malocclusion and the education of lay people about this influence is necessary.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment on the self-esteem of adolescents. Methods: The subjects were composed of 3509 female middle school students. Each subject was evaluated with Rosenberg's Self-esteem Scale to measure the level of self-esteem and also evaluated the degree of crowding and soft tissue profile. Results: Results showed that protrusion of lip area had no effects on self-esteem but crowding of upper anterior teeth had significant effects. The fixed orthodontic treatment group and the removable orthodontic treatment group reported no significant difference in self-esteem from the no orthodontic treatment experience group, but the debonding group showed significantly higher Self-esteem index. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that anterior teeth alignment has influence on the self-esteem of female adolescents.

In this paper, the scan characteristics of phased array antenna consisted of rectangular open-ended waveguide with a triangular grid are investigated. An infinite array structure is analyzed by numerically solving the integral equation for the electric field over the waveguide aperture using waveguide mode function and Floquet mode function. Next, SEP(Scan Element Pattern) and SI(Scan Impedance) characteristics are simulated by CST's MWS(Microwave Studio) and Ansoft's HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator) for the finite and infinite array structures. Also, validity of these approaches is verified by comparing the calculated and simulated results with the measured ones for an $8{\times}8$ subarray. Within 10.5 % fractional bandwidth in the X-band, the fabricated subarray showed the flat gain characteristic in the scan range of ${\pm}45^{\circ}C$ in the E-plane(azimuth) and ${\pm}20^{\circ}C$ in the H-plane(elevation), and also showed the return loss characteristic of less than -10 dB.

This paper proposes a high-gain phased array antenna that can provide private network communication services for large office spaces, factories, and other large-scale facilities, specifically designed for millimeter-wave band 5G (5th generation) networks. The proposed antenna features a 4×4 array structure with eight sub-arrays, each consisting of a 1×2 series array. To achieve high side-lobe characteristics, an offset array structure is applied by shifting even-numbered rows by one unit, combined with power tapering to adjust the size of individual radiating elements. This design achieves a high side-lobe level (SLL) of 22.3 dB and a high gain of 18.1 dBi. Additionally, the antenna provides gain characteristics of at least 15.2 dBi and 17.4 dBi within the intended beam steering range of ±45° in the azimuth direction and ±10° in the elevation direction, ensuring smooth communication services over a wide service area.

이 논문에서는 SIMD처리기에서 기억장치 접근시간을 감소시키기 위한 기억장치를 제안했다. 이 기억장치는 MxN 배열내 자료들의 임의의 위치에서 일정 간격인 블록형태와 8방향 선형태인 pq개의 자료들의 동시접근을 지원한다. 기억모듈 수는 pq보다 큰 소수이고, 간격은 기억모듈 수의 배수가 아닌 양수이다. 간단하고 빠른 주소계산회로와 이동회로를 위해, 요구된 자료들에서 첫번째 자료의 기준 주소와 pq개의 주소간의 차들로 구분한 후, 주소간의 차들은 첫번째 자료요소의 기억모듈번호로부터 번호에 따라 오름차순 정렬되고 따른 기억모듈에 저장된다. 9가지 자료 이동형태를 멀티플렉싱과 회전에 의해 1가지로 감소시킨 효율적인 자료 이동 회로를 제안하였다. 제안된 충돌회피 기억장치는 이전 기억장치와 비교하여 자료 접근형태, 간격, 자료 배열의 크기에 제한, 하드웨어 비용, 속도, 복잡도면에서 개선하였다.

본 연구에서는 독립형과 배열형 부유식 방파제의 구조물간의 거리와 흘수, 형상을 변화시키고 파의 주기와 경사도(wave steepness)를 변화시켜 비교적 다양한 변수변화에 따른 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 투과계수는 부유식 방파제의 흘수변화에 큰 영향을 받으며, 독립형 부방파제보다 두 개의 방파제를 배열하면 방파효율을 높 일수 있으며 방파제의 흘수를 변화함에 따라 넓은 주파수대에 걸쳐 안정적인 방파성능을 가질 수 있다. 독립형 부방파제와 1방파제, 2방파제의 형상과 흘수를 조정한 배열형방파제를 사용함으로 파의 형상에 따른 입사파와 투과파 변화를 효과적으로 비교 분석 하였다.

Nuclear power plant contain many dissimilar metal welds that connect carbon steel components with stainless steel pipes using alloy600 welding materials. Primary water stress corrosion cracks at dissimilar metal welds have been continuously reported around the world. In periodic integrity evaluations, dissimilar metal welds are examined using a generic ultrasonic testing procedure, KPD-UT-10. In this procedure, the gap between the probe and examination surface is limited to 1/32 inch (0.8mm). It is not easy to test some dissimilar metal welds in Korean plants applying ordinary technology because of their tapered shapes and irregular surface conditions. This paper introduces a method for applying a flexible phased array technology to improve the reliability of ultrasonic testing results for various shapes and surface conditions. The artificial flaws in specimens with irregular surfaces were completely detected using the flexible phased array ultrasonic technology. Therefore, it can be said that the technology is applicable to field examination.

In this paper, the X($1{\times}2$, 10.525 GHz) and K($3{\times}6$, 24.15 GHz) bands patch array antenna having single feed line for radar detector applications is proposed. The left side of the proposed array antenna is X band array antenna and the right is K band array antenna. Two array antennas with two stubs located in the front of antennas are fed through one transmission line. If the array antennas which have the different resonance frequency are fed by one transmission line using general T-junction, it interferes each other and the array antenna lost its character. Therefore, to prevent these interferences, two stubs using open and short property of stub are designed. First of all, the performances of array antenna weren't changed when each array antennas were connected with the stub and in the end, it is found out that it was the same when the two array antennas were combined and feed through the one transmission line. The measured gain at X band is 6.47 dBi and measured gain at K band is 13.07 dBi. The experimental results agree well with the simulated ones.
