In this paper, six kinds of spiral antenna, a combination of two types of spiral arm-width and three types of spiral curvature are analyzed by using moment method. Dividing spiral arms into N sections, the current distribution is calculated by Galerkin`s method. The radiation pattern and the antenna gain are derived from antenna currents. All os the six spiral antenna have amni-dirctional and wide-band characteristics, although the antenna gain changes within +_ 5dB bound for operating range(600MHz-2GHz). The variation of antenna`s gain is caused by the return loss in connection the Balun to the antenna. Simulation and experimental results on the radiation pattern also show spiral antennas have omni-directional and wide-band characteristics.

In this paper, a wideband circular polarizer operating in the frequency range of 6~18 GHz is designed and fabricated using a multilayer structure with meanderlines. A T matrix expression for the unit structure, which consists of meanderline, dielectric substrate and spacer, was derived using the boundary value solution. A proposed meanderline structure was modeled as an array of unit meanderline cell in order to apply the waveguide model with PEC and PMC boundary conditions. The calculation procedures to obtain an equivalent susceptance of the unit meanderline cell using HFSS was also suggested. Using a hybrid method, which combines the T matrix with the HFSS results, and cut-and-try method, a wideband circular polarizer with low insertion loss and good AR performance was designed. The fabricated polarizer has the return loss less than -10 dB within 92 % bandwidth, the average insertion loss less than -0.24 dB, and the average AR below 2.6 dB for full 3:1 bandwidth.

비점오염원은 기상조건과 토지이용에 따라 시간에 따른 오염부하량의 변동폭이 크게 발생하며, 강우초기에 오염물질의 농도가 크게 나타난다. MFFn은 강우지속시간에 따라 다양하게 변화하는 오염물질의 부하량과 유출량을 특정시점에서 강우유출율과 오염물질 유출율을 계산할 수 있으며, 강우가 시작될 때 0, 종료될 때 1의 값을 나타내며, 1보다 크면 초기세척이 있음을 나타낸다. 예를 들면 MFF20에서 평균값이 2.5이면 초기우수유출수의 부피 20%에 오염물질 부하량의 부피 50%를 포함하는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 논에서의 초기세척비율 정량화하기 위해 영산강수계 논지역(이하, 학야지구)과 섬진강수계 논지역(이하, 적성지구) 각 1개유역을 선정하여 2009년부터 2012년까지 수문 및 수질 모니터링을 수행하였다. 유역면적은 학야지구는 13.69 ha 이며, 적성지구는 8.06ha 이다. 두 지역 모두 외부유입이 없으며, 배수로가 구조물화 되어 있어 관측이 용이한 지점이다. 논에서 강우시유출되는 오염물질을 산정하기 위해서 배수로 말단에 압력식 수위계와 자동채수기를 설치하여 일정간격으로 관측하였으며, 수위별 유량관측을 통해 수위-유량관계곡선식을 산정 후 유량으로 환산하였다. 채취된 수질은 수질공정시험법을 통해 BOD, COD, TOC, T-N, T-P, SS를 분석하였으며, 관측된 유량과 수질자료를 이용하여 부하량을 산정하고, MFFn을 이용하여 초기세척비율을 정량화 하였다. BOD COD, TOC, T-N, T-P, SS 의 논 초기세척비율은 n 값이 10% 때 중앙값이 각각 1.3, 1.18, 1.13, 1.2, 1.13, 1.1 였으며, 13%, 11.8%, 11.3%, 12%, 11.3%, 11% 가 유출되는 것으로 나타났으며, n 값이 20%일 때 1.3, 1.1, 1.1, 1.25, 1.2, 1.2 이였으며, 26%, 22%, 22%, 25%, 24%. 24%가 유출되는 것으로 나타났다. n 값이 30%일 때 1.25, 1.0, 1.0, 1.25, 1.13, 1.3 였으며, 37.5%, 30%, 30%, 37.5%, 33.9%, 39%가 유출되는 것으로 나타났다.

This thesis deals with a method to solve a two-and-one-half-dimensional ($2\frac12$ D) problem, which means that the ocean environment is two-dimensional whereas the source is fully three-dimensionally propagating, including three-dimensional refraction phenomena and three-dimensional back-scattering, using two-dimensional two-way parabolic equation method combined with Fourier synthesis. Two dimensional two-way parabolic equation method uses Galerkin's method for depth and Crank-Nicolson method and alternating direction for range and provides a solution available to range-dependent problem with wave-field back-scattered from discontinuous interface. Since wavenumber, k, is the function of depth and vertical or horizontal range, we can reduce a dimension of three-dimensional Helmholtz equation by Fourier transforming in the range direction. Thus transformed two-dimensional Helmholtz equation is solved through two-way parabolic equation method. Finally, we can have the $2\frac12$ D solution by inverse Fourier transformation of the spectral solution gained from in the last step. Numerical simulation has been carried out for a canonical ocean environment with stair-step bottom in order to test its accuracy using the present analysis. With this spectral parabolic equation method, we have examined three-dimensional acoustic propagation properties in a specified site in the Korean Straits.

Numerical simulation in exploration geophysics provides important insights into subsurface wave propagation phenomena. Although elastic wave simulations take longer to compute than acoustic simulations, an elastic simulator can construct more realistic wavefields including shear components. Therefore, it is suitable for exploration of the responses of elastic bodies. To overcome the long duration of the calculations, we use a Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) to accelerate the elastic wave simulation. Because a GPU has many processors and a wide memory bandwidth, we can use it in a parallelised computing architecture. The GPU board used in this study is an NVIDIA Tesla C1060, which has 240 processors and a 102 GB/s memory bandwidth. Despite the availability of a parallel computing architecture (CUDA), developed by NVIDIA, we must optimise the usage of the different types of memory on the GPU device, and the sequence of calculations, to obtain a significant speedup of the computation. In this study, we simulate two- (2D) and threedimensional (3D) elastic wave propagation using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method on GPUs. In the wave propagation simulation, we adopt the staggered-grid method, which is one of the conventional FD schemes, since this method can achieve sufficient accuracy for use in numerical modelling in geophysics. Our simulator optimises the usage of memory on the GPU device to reduce data access times, and uses faster memory as much as possible. This is a key factor in GPU computing. By using one GPU device and optimising its memory usage, we improved the computation time by more than 14 times in the 2D simulation, and over six times in the 3D simulation, compared with one CPU. Furthermore, by using three GPUs, we succeeded in accelerating the 3D simulation 10 times.

A computer program has been developed to estimate time-domain electromagnetic (EM) responses for a onedimensional model with multiple source and receiver dipoles that are finite in length. The time-domain solution can be obtained by applying an inverse fast Fourier transform (FFT) to frequency-domain fields for efficiency. Frequency-domain responses are first obtained for 10 logarithmically equidistant frequencies per decade, and then cubic spline interpolated to get the FFT input. In the case of phases, the phase curve must be made to be continuous prior to the spline interpolation. The spline interpolated data are convolved with a source current waveform prior to FFT. In this paper, only a step-off waveform is considered. This time-domain code is verified with an analytic solution and EM responses for a marine hydrocarbon reservoir model. Through these comparisons, we can confirm that the accuracy of the developed program is fairly high.

It was shown that the bandwidth of T-shaped microstripline fed slot antenna is wider than many of the conventional feeding structures. In this paper, we proposed a new method of enhancing the bandwidth of T-shaped microstripline fed slot antenna with a shunt open stub, and analyzed this antenna by using the FDTD method. We have computed waves and electric field distribution in the time domain, and VSWR, input impedance and radiation pattern in the frequency domaim by Fourier transforming the time domain results. It was found that the bandwidth of this antenna depend on the position(L$_1$) and length(L$_2$) of a shunt open stub. When these parameters are L$_1$=30 mm and L$_2$=33mm, we obtained the maximum bandwidth at the center frequency of 2.3 GHz. From the computed results, the optimum antenna is designed and fabricated. The fractional bandwidth of this antenna was 53.9 %. The measured results were in relatively good accordance with computed values.

A wave deformation model for general purpose combined refraction, diffraction, and breaking is developed in the shallow water. A parabolic approximation equation considered a higher order diffraction term is derived from the previous mild slope equation. A wave energy dissipation term due to bottom friction and breaking is introduced from the turbulence model. The Crank-Nicoloson implicit scheme is used in the numerical calculation, then the solutions are compared with the various hydraulic experiment data in the circular, the elliptic shoal, and the surf zone. The wave height decay in the surf zone is sensitively affected by the incident wave steepness, and the wave height variation around the elliptic shoal is well explained by the non-linear dispersion relation and the wave energy dissipation term. The model is also applied to a field coastal area and reasonable results are obtained.

In this paper, we proposed to a new structure of T-shaped fed microstrip slot antenna using 2-layers dielectric material with a directional radiation characteristic. When the slot antenna of bi-directional radiation want to radiate only one direction, the reflector must be set up, but this antenna does'nt need set up reflector. T-shaped microstrip feed line is proposed for a better impedance matching to the microstrip slot antenna in a various range of slot widths. It was also found that the bandwidth of this antenna is proportional to the slot width. It was also found that the radiation resistance of this feed line structure is quite constant and low regardless to the slot width. We also analyzed this antenna by using the FDTD method, and calculating waves and electric field distribution in the time domain. we also are calculated return loss, VSWR, and radiation pattern in the frequency domain by Fourier transforming the time domain results, respectively. From the measured results, bandwidth was 34.8% in the center frequency. These results were in relatively good accordance with the calculated values.

Wave propagation is changed by the effect of shoaling, current-depth refraction and shelter-ing etc. To solve these problems. numerous models have been developed. In the present study, a coordinate system is proposed based on the wave ray equation with the wave number equation including diffraction effects . The governing equation for the study was derived from the mild slope wave equation in non-steady state, including current effects (Kirby, 1986a) and trans-formed into an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system on the basis of the wave ray equation. To obtain a numerical solution, an explicit finite difference scheme was used, and solved by the relaxation method. This model was tested for various cases: Firstly a submersed circular shoal and a constant unit depth. Secondly a submerged elliptic shoal on a slope, and finally a breakwater harbour with obliquely incident waves on a slope. The model was found to simulate the experimental results and other theoretical results in wave height and wave angle fairy well, and the applicability of the model around an arbitrary shaped coastal structure was also verified. To demonstrate the general usefullness of the present approach , the model is to be applied to a field situation with a complex bed topography.
