We consider transmission beamforming techniques for frequency-division-duplex (FDD) wireless communication systems using adaptive arrays to improve the signal quality of the array transmission link. We develop a simple effective transmission beamforming technique based on an approximated frequency tranlsation (AFT) to derive the tranmsiion beamforming weights from the uplink channel vector. This technique exploits the invariance of the short-time averaged fast fading statistics to small frequency translations. A simple approximate relationship that relates the transmission channel vector to the reception channel vector is derived. We have developed its practical alternative in which the frequency translation of the channel vector is performed at the principal angle of arrival (AOA) of the u;link synthestic angular spectrum instead of the mean AOA. To analyze the performance of the proposed methods, we consider the power loss incurred by applying the estimated channel vector instead of the true downlink channel vector. The performance is analyzed as a function of the mean AOA, the angular spread, the number of elements, frequncy difference between the uplink and the downlink, and the angle distribution. Their performance is also compared with that of the direct weight reuse method and the AOA based methods.

AESA radar is able to instantaneously and adaptively position and control the beam, and such adaptive beam pointing of AESA radar enables to remarkably improve the multi-mission capability. For this reason, Radar Resource Management(RRM) becomes new challenging issue. RRM is a technique efficiently allocating finite resources, such as energy and time to each task in an optimal and intelligent way. Especially radar beam scheduling is the most critical component for the success of RRM. In this paper, we proposed a rule-based scheduling algorithm and Simulated Annealing(SA) based scheduling algorithm, which are alternatively selected and applied to beam scheduler according radar load status in real-time. The performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated on the multi-function radar scenario. As a result, we showed that our proposed algorithm can process a lot of beams at the right time with real time capability, compared with applying only rule-based scheduling algorithm. Additionally, we showed that the proposed algorithm can save scheduling time remarkably, compared with applying only SA-based scheduling algorithm.

In this paper, we study the performance of eigencanceller which use a eigenvector and eigenvalue in order to update a weighter vector. Eigencanceller can suppress directional interferences and noise effectively while maintaining specified beam pattern constraints. The constraints and optimal weight vector of eigencanceller vary by using interference and noise or desired signal, interference signal and noise as array input signal. From the analysis results in the steady state, We show that weight vectors in each case are simplified the form of projection equation that belongs to desired subspace orthogonal to interference subspace and eigencanceller has the better performance than RLS method through mathematical analysis and simulation.

Antenna arrays at base-stations can be used to transmit and receive information selectively in space by reducing the interference effects. In this paper, a new model of locally scattered signals in the vicinity of mobiles is proposed, and under this model the weights of the beamformer are obtained. Computer simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme shows an excellent performance and works well even in the urban environment where there exist many multipath propagations with wide angular spread.

This study proposes a fully non-contact measurement method to assess acoustic nonlinearity of narrowband surface waves generated by a line-arrayed laser beam by using a laser-ultrasonic detector in the way of two-wave mixing (TWM) method. This method was applied to figure out a relationship between plastic deformation and nonlinearity characteristics of a plastically deformed aluminum specimens. The experimental results showed that the acoustic nonlinearity of the laser-generated surface wave increased proportionally to the level of tensile deformation. This tendency is in good agreement with the result of measurement by contact method with PZT-transducer.

The measurement accuracy of Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy based Tomography (TDLAST) for the temperature and concentration fields are dependant upon the arrangement method of the used laser beams. This paper reports on the optimization of laser beam arrangements using phantom data. It has been verified that the measurement error of the TDLAST decreased with increase of laser beam numbers. Further, it has been confirmed that perpendicular arrangements between the horizontal and the vertical laser beams without additional diagonal laser beams shows the minimum measurement errors.

We investigate the performance of a true time delay(TTD) phase shifter to reduce the beam squint caused by frequency changes of a phased array antenna in wideband communication systems. To design a high gain phased array antenna, we need a long TTD, which causes high RF loss, low resolution and large dimension of TTD phase shifters. To overcome the problems, we propose a schematic of dual TTD phase shifters, which consists of short time delay(STD) in radio frequency(RF) part and long time delay(LTD) in intermediate frequency(IF) part. Our analysis results show that the proposed scheme reduces the required bits and delay time in RF band of the TTD compared to the conventional single TTD scheme.

기존의 광학리소그래피방법으로는 나노크기의 패턴을 형성하는데에 있어서 많은 제약이 있으며, 사실상 수십나노크기의 패턴을 형성하는데에는 전자빔리소그래피등 새로운 패턴형성 방법이 요구되고 있다. 블록 공중합체를 이용한 나노 패턴은 서로 다른 화학적 구조를 가지는 고분자들이 공유결합으로 연결되어 있는 분자구조를 이용하여, 하나의 분자 내에 서로 다른 블록들이 상분리를 일으키려는 것과 동시에 이들의 공유결합으로 인해 그 정도가 제한되는 것을 이용하여 라멜라, 실린더, 구 등의 주기적으로 배열된 형태의 구조물을 형성하는 패터닝 기술이다. 블록 공중합체를 이용한 나노크기의 패턴 형성은 열역학적으로 안정적인 구조이며, 대면적으로 구현 할 수 있어서 차세대 소자제작을 위한 제작기술로 많은 관심을 가지고 있다. 하지만 블록공중합체를 이용한 나노패턴 기술은 선행적으로 나노구조체를 결함이 없고, 원하는 형태로 제작 할 수 있는 공정의 확립이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는, 이러한 블록 공중합체을 이용한 나노패턴을 제조하는 공정에서, 폴리스틸렌과 실리콘 산화물 박막과의 표면반응을 막기 위한 Self-Assembly Monolayers (SAMs) 처리 공정이 패턴 형성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 MPTS의 농도 및 처리시간을 변화시켰다. 나노패턴을 분석, 확인하기 위하여 Atomic Force Microscopic (AFM)과 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM)을 이용하였다.

In this paper, we present the direction finding accuracy of correlative interferometer method and amplitude-phase comparison method. Spiral antennas are used for amplitude-phase comparison method and blade antennas are used for correlative interferometer method. Those are made for uniform circular array (UCA) direction finding antenna systems. We simulate the accuracy of azimuth angle with 3 antennas UCA when SNR is 20 dB and baseline is 0.5 wave length. Correlative interferometer method has better accuracy than amplitude-phase comparison method.
