It is difficult to realize adaptive main carrier rejection circuit in feedforward-type LPA(Linear Power Amplifier) because the gain and nonlinear characteristics of power amplifier are changed according to operating frequency, voltage, temperature. Usually, pilot tones are used for adaptive LPA operation. but in this paper, the relative phase, which in obtained through I&Q demodulator using input signals as LO signals and main-path & sub-path signals as RF signals, and the magnitude of main-path & sub-path signals are compared, so main carrier rejection is obtained. The proposed method rejects main carriers by 28.34 ~ 34.66dB (@Po=36.2 ~ 28.2 dBm/tone) with two tones at 877MHz, 882MHz and also rejects main carriers by 31.3dB despite changing condition of operating voltage.

Doherty amplifier has more efficiency and distortion than general amplifier. These distortion classified amplitude distortion and phase distortion, memory effect distortion. This paper reports on an attempt to investigate, model and quantity the contribution of the electrical nonlinearity effects and the thermal memory effects to a doherty amplifier's distortion generation and suggests thermal memory effect compensator for pre-distorter. Also this paper reports on the development of an accurate dynamic expression of the instantaneous junction temperature as a function of the instantaneous dissipated power. The parameters of suggested model suppress thermal memory effects doherty amplifier with pre-distorter. Pre-distorter with electrothermal memory effect compensator for doherty amplifier enhanced ACLR performance about 22 dB than general doherty amplifier. Experiment results were mesured by 50W LDMOS Doherty amplifier and pre-distorter with electrothermal memory effect compensator was simulated by ADS.

In this paper, a new type of predistortion linearizer has been studied. It employs a series feedback amplifier with a large source inductance as a predistortion linearizer, which provides positive amplitude and negative phase deviations for input Power and can compensate for AM-AM and AM-PM distortions of power amplifier. This predistortion lineariaer consists of only one CaAs FET, large source inductor, input output matching networks and bias circuits. Because of its simple circuit, the linear can be operated over a broad bandwidth and has good thermal stability The characteristics of this linearizer can be easily tuned using source inductor, its gate bias condition. In fabricated linearizer, the third-order intermodulation distortion(IMD) for main amplifier alone is 10.61dBc, and the $IM_3$ for main amplifier with predistorter is 21.91dBc. Therefore, the $IM_3$ characteristic results an improvement of approximately 11dB.

El Nino and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) presents a broad band (2-8 year) variability and slowly changing amplitude and period, which are respectively referred to as ENSO irregularity and ENSO modulation. In this study, we developed a nonlinear low-order climate model by combining the Lorenz-63 model of nonlinear atmospheric variability and a simple ENSO model with recharge oscillator characteristics. The model successfully reproduced the ENSO-like variations in the sea surface temperature of eastern Pacific, such as the peak period, wide periodicity, and decadal modulations. The results show that the chaotic atmospheric forcing can lead to ENSO irregularity and ENSO modulation. It is also suggested the high probability of La Nina development could be associated with strong convection of the western warm pool. Although it is simple, this model is expected to be used in research on long-term climate change because it well captures the nonlinear air-sea interactions in the equatorial Pacific.

In this paper, we designed file system in order to utilize data analysis by using correlation result from Daejeon correlator including related software development. Correlation results are consisted of visibility component (amplitude and phase) of radio source, but for data analysis of correlation result, various information such as weather, radio telescope position, observation time, radio source position, source type, and receiver noise temperature are needed. In this paper, we designed file system as a directory-structure for making use of these informations at Linux system for analyzing data and developed software to make file system. To verify the effectiveness of designed file system and developed software, file system generation experiment is conducted, and then astronomers accepted that there is no severe problem for scientific analysis using designed file system.

This paper deals with the design and manufacturing technique of EQM(Engineering Qualification Model) of input multiplexer(IMUX) for the Ku-band satellite transponder. Channel dropping method by circulator chain structure is adopted for demultiplexing each channel. External equalizers are attached behind channel filters fur reduction of group delay variation and amplitude variation simultaneously. Both channel filters and equalizers adopted dual-mode technique in design f3r mass and volume reduction. Channel filters are designed to have 8-pole elliptic response and equalizers to be of 2-pole reflection type. For good temperature stability characteristics, INVAR36 material is used for channel filters and external equalizers. Vibration test, Thermal Vacuum Test, and EMC test have been performed on input multiplexer and it is shown to be suitable for Ku-band satellite transponder.

This paper presents a low-power, wide tuning range VCO with automatic two-step negative-Gm calibration loop to compensate for the process, voltage and temperature variation. To cover the wide tuning range, digital automatic negative-Gm tuning loop and analog automatic amplitude calibration loop are used. Adaptive body biasing (ABB) technique is also adopted to minimize the power consumption by lowering the threshold voltage of transistors in the negative-Gm core. The power consumption is 2 mA to 6mA from a 1.2 V supply. The VCO tuning range is 2.65 GHz, from 2.35 GHz to 5 GHz. And the phase noise is -117 dBc/Hz at the 1 MHz offset when the center frequency is 3.2 GHz.

KSTAR 토카막의 두번째 실험 캠페인 동안 고속파 전자가열 (FWEH)을 위한 ICRF 고주파입사 실험을 실시하였다. 토로이달 자기장은 2 T, 플라즈마 전류는 200-300 kA, 주반경은 1.8 m, 부반경은 0.5 m의 원형 플라즈마가 가열 대상이 되었으며, 네개의 ICRF 안테나 전류띠 가운데 중심부의 두개의 전류띠를 최대 300 kW로 구동하기 위한 운전 주파수는 44.2 MHz가 선택 되었다. 이 주파수는 플라즈마의 모든 영역에서 이온 사이클로트론 공명을 일으키지 않으므로 플라즈마에 흡수되는 대부분의 출력은 전자에게 전달될 것으로 기대되었다. 낮은 고주파-플라즈마 결합으로 인하여 전송선의 최대 고주파 전압이 허용치를 초과하기 때문에 비교적 낮은 최대 출력만이 허용 되었으나, ECE에 의해 관측된 전자의 온도는 국지적으로 최대 150 % 까지 증가하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 낮은 고주파-플라즈마 결합의 첫번째 원인은 FWEH의 효율이 이온을 가열할 때 보다 상대적으로 낮기 때문이다. 플라즈마 내에 이온 사이클로트론 공명층이 형성되면 높은 효율로 고주파를 입사 할 수 있다는 것은 잘 알려진 사실이다. 또다른 원인은 D 형상의 플라즈마에 맞도록 만들어진 안테나와, 원형 플라즈마간의 부조화로 인하여 고속파 차단층이 (Fast Wave Cutt-off Layer) 평균적으로 넓게 형성되기 때문이다. 플라즈마 외곽에 반드시 존재하는 낮은 플라즈마 밀도의 고속파 차단층 내부에서, 중심부로 향하는 고주파의 진폭은 지수함수로 감쇠하므로 가능하면 플라즈마 밀도를 높여 차단층 자체의 폭을 줄이거나, 안테나 전류띠를 플라즈마에 바짝 접근시켜야만 한다. 고주파 진단 장치로는 송출기의 출력과 반사파 측정 장치, 공명루프의 전압 측정 장치가 있는데, 이것들을 이용하여 안테나에 전달되는 출력 및 고주파-플라즈마 결합 효율을 나타내는 플라즈마에 대한 고주파 부하 저항을 구할 수 있다. 측정 결과, 부하 저항의 최소값은 진공시 또는 ICRF만의 방전시의 값 0.25 Ohm 보다 큰 0.5 Ohm을 나타냈으며, 최대값은 플라즈마의 상태에 따라 1 Ohm에서 2 Ohm 사이에서 매우 빠르게 요동하는 것을 확인했다. Mm 파 반사계의 측정에 의하면 플라즈마 언저리의 위치가 약 3 cm 정도의 크기로 요동하는 것으로 나타났는데, 부하 저항과 언저리 위치의 파형이 정확하게 일치하지 않지만 유사한 경향성을 가진 것으로 보인다. 따라서 플라즈마 언저리 위치의 제어를 통하여 가열 효율을 높게 유지할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 본 발표에서는 실험의 소개와 함께 부하 저항의 관점에서 가열 효율을 높일 방안을 토론하도록 한다.

Cooling towers have been installed on rooftops or outside of buildings and widely applied to control the indoor temperature in residential areas and buildings. However, the noise and vibration resulting from their operation may cause problems in adjacent buildings. The purpose of this study is to measure the noise and vibration of an industrial cooling tower located adjacent to industrial plants and to investigate its influence on the surroundings according to an authorized evaluation standard. Further, in order to measure the effect of the vibration of the tower on the precision equipment inside the plant, an experiment is conducted to measure the vibration of the ground in the plant and the targeted precision equipment. The measurement results indicate that the noise in the cooling tower is 4 to 9 dB(A) higher than the maximum level defined in the standard of 68dB(A). The effect of the vibration of the tower on the precision equipment is comparatively minimal, because that in the supporting frame of the building is weaker than that on the floor where the precision equipment is located. The vibration of the floor on.
