Intensive researches on multiuser-based Massive MIMO are performed to increase the spectral efficiency. Although the Massive MIMO scheme based on huge number of antennas inevitably causes hardware and computational complexity in baseband and radio frequency (RF) elements, the problem can be mitigated without serious performance degradation by limiting the number of baseband and RF elements below the number of transmit antennas of base station and opportunistically selecting transmit antennas according to channel states. Accordingly, this paper proposes a simple antenna selection scheme for multiuser-based Massive MIMO systems.

This paper presents a multi-functional microstrip spital antenna that operates in dual frequency bands. Several types of beam shape can be selected by controlling the phase difference of two spiral arms with the phase shifters located on each feed line. It has a normal beam at the lower frequency band, and four different patterns at the higher frequency band: normal beam, conical beam and two types of tilted beam. The antenna exhibits more than 10% of bandwidth at each band. The antenna is fabricated with conductor backed electromagnetic absorber in order to attain unidirectional radiation pattern and confirmed the multi-functionality by measurements.

Though focused ion beam (FIB) is one of the candidates to fabricate the nanoscale patterns, precision milling of nanoscale structures is not straightforward. Thus this poses challenges for novice FIB users. Optimal determination in FIB parameters is a crucial step to fabricate a desired nanoscale pattern. There are two main FIB parameters to consider, beam current (beam size) and dose (beam duration) for optimizing the milling condition. After fixing the dose, the proper beam current can be chosen considering both total milling time and resolution of the pattern. Then, using the chosen beam current, the metal nano hole structure can be perforated to the required depth by varying the dose. In this experiment, we found the adequate condition of $0.1nC/{\mu}m^2$ dose at 1 pA Ga ion beam current for 100 nm thickness perforation. With this condition, we perforated the periodic square array of elliptical nano holes.

This paper presents the characterization of the wavelength selective switch using a LCOS display instead of a MEMS device, which is a core technology for the next generation ROADM. We constructed a five-port WSS, and examined the basic characteristics of the WSS, such as the response time, beam steering, insertion loss, and channel isolation. The response time of WSS was 11.6 mS and the beam steering characteristics of LCOS was well performed. The measured insertion loss at 40 channels in the c-band were 5.5~12.7 dB and channel isolation was 16~18 dB. Although the characteristics of LCOS-based WSS are inferior to the conventional MEMS-based WSS, it can be improved by additional experiments that secure the technology competitiveness.

This paper presents a revised beamforming inversion method for ocean acoustic tomography. In the proposed inversion method, the relation between group velocity and phase velocity that are the characteristics of the waveguide is used for the inversion of perturbed sound speed profile. The group velocity and phase velocity can be expressed as a function of the travel time and arrival angle of the received signals that are analyzed by the beamforming signal processing. This paper illustrates the simulated results of inversion for the fluctuated sound speed profile of the East Korea Sea and we found the applicability of revised beamforming inversion method to range independent ocean.

이온빔 증착에 있어서 전자의 조사가 이온빔 증착기구에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 지금까지 보고 되어지지 않았다. 특히 전자의 조사가 증착층의 물성에 영향을 미칠 수 있느지에 대하여 정량적인 결과를 실험을 통하여 제시한 보고는 내가 아는 한 존재하지 않는다. 한편 이와같이 박막 증착에 있어서 전하가 증착되어지는 박막의 물성에 미칠 수 있는 영향에 대해서는 많은 과학자들의 관심사이기도 하다. 본 실험에서는 kaufman ion gun을 이용하여 질소 양이온을, 그리고 Cs+ ion gun을 이용하여 탄소 음이온을 조사하고 이들을 이용하여 CN 박막을 증착하였다. 질소 양이온의 에너지는 100eV, 이온밀도는 70$\mu$A/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 고정하고, 탄소 이온빔(80$\mu$A/$\textrm{cm}^2$)의 에너지를 200cV까지 변화시켜가며 증착하였다. 이때 증착층의 특성에 음 전하의 효과를 유발하기 위하여 350~360$\mu$A/$\textrm{cm}^2$의 전자빔을 이온빔 증착과 동시에 추가로 조사하였고 이의 특성을 전자빔을 조사하지 않고 증착한 CN 박막의 특성과 서로 비교하였다. 또한 증착 표면의 전하 축적에 의한 입사 이온빔의 에너지 감소에 의한 영향을 방지하기 위하여 증착되는 Si 기판에 HF (300kHz, 3.5V) bias를 가하여 주었다. 전자빔의 조사와 동시에 이루어진 CN 박막의 증착은 입사하는 탄소 음 이온빔의 에너지가 80eV에서 180eV 사이일때 원자밀도의 향상과 질소함량의 증가, 그리고 sp2C-N 결합대비 sp3C-N 결합의 향상이 이루어졌음을 확인하였다. 이는 이온빔 충돌에 의하여 피코쵸 정도의 시간대에 이루어지는 박막내의 collision cascade 영역에 이에 의하여 생긴 결함부위에 유입된 음 전하가 위치하면 전하주위의 원자와 polarization을 형성하고 이에 의하여 탄소와 질소의 결합을 형성하는데 필요한 자유에너지의 감소를 수반하는 방향으로 원자의 배열이 이루어지기 때문으로 사료된다. 이와같이 이온빔 에너지가 이온빔 증착 기구의 주요한 인자로 널리 인식되고 있는 kinetic bonding process에 있어서 이온 에너지에 의하여 activation energy barrier를 넘은후, 전자의 조사가 자유에너지를 낮추는 방향으로 최종 결합경로를 조절할 수 있기 때문에 이온빔 증착을 조절할 수 있는 또 하나의 주요한 인자로 받아들여질 수 있으리라 판단된다. 이온빔 프로세스에 의한 DLC 혹은 탄소관련 필름을 형성하는데 있어서 입사 이온빔의 에너지에 의하여 수반되는 thermal spike 혹은 외부 열원에 의한 가열은 박막층의 흑연화를 수반하기 때문에 박막의 sp3 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 회피하여야 할 요소이지만 thermal spike에 의한 국부 영역의 가열과 같은 불가피한 인자가 존재하는 상황에서 전자에 의한 추가 전하의 조사에 의한 최종결합경로의 선택적 조절은 박막의 화학적 결합과 물리적 특성을 향상시킬 수 있는 중요한 방법이 될 수 있다고 판단된다.

In this paper, we propose 2-stage beamformer with linear receiver in wireless backhaul downlink system where macro base station has large antenna array with sub-array structure. Also, to compare the system capacity, we apply 3-stage beamformer with zero-forcing precoder and calculate the achievable sum rate of received small cell base stations. Considering scattering and path-loss property of wireless backhaul channel, we combine precoding technique for spatial multiplexing and beamforming technique to overcome path-loss. Therefore, we design DFT-based fixed beam patterns for the first stage. The simulation results show that considering spatial multiplexing, proposed 2-stage beamformer with linear receiver can increase the achievable sum rate as well as reduce the feedback information.

A surface treatment was performed after the screen printing of a carbon nanotube paste for obtaining the carbon nanotube field emission array(CNT FEA) on the soda-lime glass substrate. In this experiment, Ar ion bombardment was applied as an effective surface treatment method. After making a cathode electrode on the glass substrate, photo sensitive CNT paste was screen-printed, and then back-side was exposure by uv light. Then, the exposed CNT paste was selectively remained by development. After post-baking, the remained CNT paste was bombarded by accelerated Ar ions for removing some binders and exposing only CNTs. As results, the field emission characteristics were strongly depended on the accelerating energy. At 100 eV, the emission was highest and as the acceleration energy increases more then 100 eV, the emission decreased. This was due to the removal of CNT itself as well as binders.
