In this paper, a nonlinear optimal design technique is presented to find an optimal beam pattern. With this technique, the beam width is minimized with respect to a given maximum allowable side-lobe level considering the self- and mutual radiation impedances of vibrators. The proposed method is applied to design a planar array consisting 37 vibrators which are symmetric in X, Y and $45^{circ}$ axes. The results show that significantly low side-lobe level maintaining a main beam width can be obtained using this method.

We propose a new scheme combining the calibration of the path imperfections and the compensation of HPA nonlinearity in the downlink OFDM smart antenna systems. We use a two term third-order polynomial (without second-order term) and the indirect learning architecture for calibration and compensation, to make each path of the antenna array have equal characteristics. We test our scheme with computer simulations. The result shows that, with the addition of only one third-order term, the adverse nonlinear effects as well as the those of linear imperfections can be effectively compensated.

A method for the synthesis of one-dimensional nonlinear distribution function is presented for the desired inverse scattering pattern. This method is based on the inverse transform of the solution of the Riccati equation derived from one-dimensional inverse scattering problem. Since the solution is analogous to the array factor or normalized space factor in collinear array antenna, the synthesis method for field pattern is applied for the construction of the involved line-source nonlinear distribution function. The suggested method is carried out under the optimization process, and is numerically verified by synthesizing the dispersive transmission line profile within the specified frequency band and control of scattered field on resistive strip.

In this paper, the calibration problem of an asynchronous CDMA-based antenna array is studied. A new iterative calibration algorithm for antenna array in the presence of frequency offset error is presented. The algorithm is applicable to a non-linear array and does not require a prior knowledge of the (direction of arrivals) DOAs of the signals of any user, and it only requires the code sequence of a reference user. The algorithm is based on the two step procedures, one for estimating both channel and frequency offset and the other for estimating the unknown array gain and phase. Consequently, estimates of the DOAs, the multi-path impulse response of the reference signal sources, and the carrier frequency offset as well as the calibration of antenna array are provided. The performance of the proposed algorithm is investigated by means of computer simulations and is verified by using field data measured through a custom-built W-CDMA test-bed.

In this paper, we have developed a 2-port resistive frequency mixer for the retrodirective active array. The circuit topology is consisted of 2-port to avoid the complexity of LO and RF signal combination, using a pseudomorphic HEMT device. The operating frequencies are 4.0 GHz, 2.01 GHz, and 1.99 GHz for LO, RF, and IF, respectively. Conversion loss is measured to be -1㏈ and 1-㏈ compression point -15 ㏈m at the LO power of -10 ㏈m.

This study covers the nonlinear analysis of anchor head for high strength prestressing strand and presents necessary process in improving the performance of anchor head. The surface of wedge for strand is contacted to the surface of the wedge hole on anchor head when it is fitted into the wedge hole, and the contact condition changes according to the level of load applied through the wedge. In order to analyze detailed behavior, nonlinear material model and contact element were used in analysis. It was found from the analysis that the behavior of anchor head is affected by the interaction with the wedge contacted so that the wedge in FE model should have the same figure as the actual object. Circular array of wedge hole presents better stress distribution than layer array even though the small difference in maximum deformation. Increment of thickness of anchor head and distance of wedge hole also improve the performance of anchor head.

\In this paper, we consider the optimal scheduling of detection and tracking parameters in phased array radars to minimize the radar energy required for track maintenance in a cluttered environment. We develop a mathematical model of target detection induced by a search process in phased array radars. In the mathematical development, we take into account the effect of unwanted measurements that may have originated from clutter or false alarms in the detection process. We use and analytic approximation of the modified Riccati equation of the probabilistic data association (PDA) filter to take into account the effect of clutter interference in tracking. Based on the search process and the tracking models, we formulate the optimal scheduling problem into a nonlinear optimal control problem. We solve a constrained nonlinear optimization problem to obtain the solution of the optimal control problem.

Practicing engineers and researchers need computational tools that estimate accurately the cyclic response of RC walls, and in particular, force and deformation capacities and their materials strains. So this paper describes a nonlinear truss modeling approach for reinforced concrete walls, or in general, for plane stress reinforced concrete elements subjected to cyclic reversals. Nonlinear vertical, horizontal, and diagonal truss elements are used to represent concrete and steel reinforcement. The wall having aspect ratio of 1.2 was chosen to be compared with the experimental results. Here, four types of main diagonal member models and three types of diagonal members models were applied to find out more accurate results of analysis.

시멘트를 기초로하는 복합재료의 파괴거동은 주균열이 진행하기 이전에 파괴진행영역이라고 하는 미세균열대가 콘크리트 내부에 형성고기 때문에 선형파괴역하게 입각하여 해석하게 되면 실험치와 상당한 차이를 나타낸다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 가상균열모델이나 균열띠 모델, 두 파라메터 파괴모델 등 비선형해석에 따른 여러 파괴역학모델들이 제안되었으나 이들 모델들은 2차원 해석에 근거를 두고 있기 때문에 구조체의 두께 방향으로 동일한 균열이 형성되며, 특히 콘크리트 실험에서 관찰되는 비연속적 균열발생에 대해서 설며이 어려웠다. 이에 본 연구는 콘크리트를하나의 다종복합체로 가정하고 연립변형모드 및 진행파괴모드 방향으로 구성재료를 배열한 상태에서 가상균열 이론에 근거한 비선형해석방법으로 모델링하였다. 진행파괴모드로 구성재료를 배열하면 강성이 높은 구성재료를 통과하여 균열이 진행될 때 균열선단으로부터 분포된 응력이 상층의 허용인장강도를 초과하게 되어 균열이 발생되며 이러한 균열은점진적인 균열진행과는 달리 비연속 동시 발생 균열ㄹ로 나타났다. 본 연구는 진행파괴모드에서의 파괴 해석 방법과연립변형모드에서의 해석 방법을 제시하였으며, 해석결과를 실험결과와 비교함으로써 검증하였다.
