This paper presents a microstrip antenna which recovers its resonant frequency and impedance shifted automatically by the approach of other objects such as hands. This can be used for telemetry sensor applications in the ultrahigh frequency(UHF) industrial, scientific, and medical(ISM) band. It is the key element that an frequency-reconfigurable antenna could be electrically controlled. This antenna is miniaturized by loading the folded plates at both radiating edges, and varactor diodes are installed between the radiating edges and the ground plane to control the resonant frequency by adjusting the DC bias asymmetrically. Using this voltage-controlled antenna and the micro controller peripheral circuits of reading the returned level, the antenna is designed and fabricated which recovers its resonant frequency and impedance automatically. Designed frequency auto recovering antenna is conformed to be recovered within a few seconds when the resonant frequency and impedance are shifted by the approach of other objects such as hand, metal plate, dielectric and so on.

A study on the calibration of an X-band HPS(Hongik Polarimetric Scatterometer) system for ground-based operation is presented in this paper. In order to calibrate the scatterometer system, the degree of its distortions are analyzed by comparison between theoretical- and measured-values using the theoretically well-known calibration targets such as a metal sphere, a trihedral corner reflector(CR) and a metal cylinder. The calibration works in the field conditions depend on the precise and stable measurements of those calibration target. we present a measurement technique, so-called, an automatic 2-D target-scanning technique, using the incidence-angle(${\xi}-$ and ${\phi}-$ directions) control of HPS system. Then, we used STCT(Single-Target Calibration Technique) and GCT(General Calibration Technique) to calibrate a distortion of the scatterometer system, and measured the polarimetric RCS(Radar Cross Section) and phase-difference of a trihedral-CR as a test-target to verify the accuracy of the calibration technique. Then, three different types(i.e., 10, 20, 30 cm) of trihedral-CR were used. we obtained the error ranges about ${\pm}1.0$dB, ${\pm}0.5$ dB in a polarimetric RCS and about $-20^{\circ}{\sim}0^{\circ}$ and ${\pm}5^{\circ}$ in the co-polarized phase-difference by using the GCT and STCT, respectively.

An analytical solution of dynamic responses for seabed in shallow, finite and infinite thicknesses has been developed under flow and standing wave coexisting field at a constant water depth condition. To do this, based on the Biot's consolidation theory, the seabed is assumed as a porous elastic media with the assumptions that pore fluid is compressible and Darcy law governs the flow. The developed analytical solution is compared with the previous results and is verified. Using the analytical solution the deformation, pore pressure, effective and shear stresses of seabed are examined under various given values of flow velocity, incident wave period and seabed thickness. From this study, it is confirmed that the seabed response is quite different depending on consideration of flow, which causes changing period and length of incident and reflection waves.

Reinforced concrete bridge decks are the first to be damaged by vehicle loads and rain infiltration. Concrete deterioration primarily occurs owing to the corrosion of rebars and other metal components by chlorides used for snow and ice melting. The structural condition and concrete deterioration of the bridge decks within the pavement were evaluated using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey data. To evaluate concrete deterioration in bridges, it is necessary to develop GPR data analysis techniques to accurately identify deteriorated locations and rebar positions. GPR exploration involves the acquisition of reflection and diffraction wave signals due to differences in radar wave propagation velocity in geotechnical media. Therefore, a full-waveform inversion (FWI) method was developed to evaluate the deterioration of reinforced concrete bridge decks by estimating the radar wave propagation velocity in geotechnical media using GPR data. Numerical experiments using a GPR velocity model confirmed the deterioration phenomena of bridge decks, such as concrete delamination and rebar corrosion, verifying the applicability of the developed technology. Moreover, using the synthetic GPR data, FWI facilitates the determination of rebar positions and concrete deterioration locations using inverted velocity images.

대면적 터치패널은 현재까지 저항막 방식, 적외선, Camera 방식을 주로 사용하고 있다. 저항막 방식의 Sensitivity, 높은 가격, 적외선 방식의 경우 빛의 간섭에 의한 오동작이 일어날 수 있는 문제를 가지고 있다. 최근의 Mobile용 터치스크린은 정전용량 방식의 터치기술 채택으로 저항막, 적외선, Camera 방식의 모든 단점을 해소할 수 있으나 터치 스크린 면적이 커지게 되면서 요구저항을 맞출 수 없는 문제로 현재 크기의 제한적이다. 본 연구에서는 완전일체형 터치(G2 Touch Hybrid) 방식의 ITO 터치필름을 사용하지 않고, 강화유리 기판을 사용하여 저(低)저항, 고(高)투과, 대형화(15 Inch), 경량화를 고려한 Zero-gap ITO를 코팅한 커버 유리용 투명전극에 대하여 전기적, 광학적, 구조적, 표면적 특성을 분석하였다. ITO 박막의 두께를 최소화하여 패턴 인비저블의 특성을 갖는 것이 필요로 하는데, 이는 ITO박막 패턴후에 패턴이 보이지 않게 하기 위해서이며, 이러한 시장의 요구를 충족하기 위해 RF/DC 고자력 Magnetron Sputtering System을 사용하여 면저항 $80{\Omega}$/${\Box}$, 표면특성 Rp-v 2.1 nm, 최고 광투과율 90.5%@550 nm, 반사율 차이 0.5 이하의 특성을 확인하였다. 또한, 저항 경시변화를 줄이기 위해서 Sheath heater를 이용한 진공코팅 중 발생되는 BM Ink out-gassing을 줄여 out-gassing에 의한 박막 손상을 줄일 수 있었으며 진공 성막중 결정성을 갖는 ITO 막을 형성시킬 수 있었다.

When finite length signal is the input of QMF banks which are composed of the M-band orthogonal wavelet filter, the boundaries of reconstructed signal are not reconstructed perfectly. For boundary signals to be reconstructed perfectly, different type filters or methods are applied to them. In this paper, the design method of boundary filters which can be reconstructed the boundary signal perfectly was proposed, in case the dimension of M-band decomposed signal is the same as that of input signal. The boundary filters were designed using the perfect reconstruction condition of paraunitary matrix. In an application of subband coding of still image, the proposed boundary filters achieve better PSNR about 5% in reconstructed image than reflected method at the same bit rate.

The UBV observations of Epsilon Aurigae from April 1982 to May 1985 had been made at Yonsei University Observatory. The light curves drawn from the observational data are combined with other light curves which are well fitted. In these light curves, secondary light variations, flare activity, mid-eclipse light brightening, and others are checked precisely. Contact times and time of mid-eclipse are determined and compared with the values which were presented on the other papers. Compared with previous eclipses, it is noted that the duration of totality is gradually contracted and the duration of total eclipse is gradually enlarged. Though these phenomena are applied to the disk model which has been more accepted than any other models, those are not explained explicitly. So, a new model, comet model, is suggested and is found to make a neat description to the phenomena revealed on the light curves.

A polarizing spectacle lens having a perfect blocking of ultraviolet light and a partial blocking of blue light and having photochromic properties has been developed. It is a functional spectacle lens which can be used as a spectacle lens in the daytime, which plays a role of sunglass in a space with strong ultraviolet rays, dramatically reducing glare caused by late-night driving or reflected light. Photochromism was recovered in 0.5 second dark reaction and 3 seconds recovery time. The polarization function was about 95%. Ultraviolet rays were completely blocked and blue light was reduced by about 30%. A lens that combines photochromic and UV blocking and polarization functions is the first attempt at investigating the domestic market.

초음파를 이용하여 인체 조직의 특성을 알아내는 방법은 매우 광범위하게 응용되어 오고있다. 그 중에서 초음파를 발생시킨 후 반사되어 되돌아오는 신호를 측정하여 그 감쇠 정도로부터 조직의 특성을 추정하는 방법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 감쇠현상은 발생된 초음파가 조직 내에서 흡수 또는 산란현상을 거치면서 주파수가 변이를 일으키기 때문에 발생한다. 따라서, 조직의 감쇠 특성을 알아내기 위해서, 주파수의 함수로 근사할 수 있는 감쇠 계수(attenuation coefficient)를 이용하여 시간에 따라 달라지는 주파수 변화를 추정한다. 그러나, 기존의 Ah(Auto-Regressive) 모델을 통한 시간영역 및 주파수 영역에서의 추정 방법을 사용하면 잡음이 존재하는 상황에서 시변 신호를 추정하는데 성능이 많이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해서, 가변 망각 인자와 재귀적인 TLS(Total Least Squares) 방법을 사용하여 시간에 따라 변하는 신호를 정확하게 추정하고 잡음환경에도 강인한 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 또한, 제안된 알고리듬은 추정 성능을 향상시킬 뿐 아니라 감쇠정도의 강약에 관계없이 망각인자의 값을 적응적으로 변화시켜 동작하는 장점을 가진다.

In this paper, The TE(transverse electric) scattering problems by a resistive strip grating over a grounded dielectric plane with edge boundary condition are analyzed by applying the FGMM(Fourier-Galerkin Moment Method) known as a numerical procedure. For a TE scattering problem, the induced surface current density is expected to the zero value at both edges of the resistive strip, then the induced surface current density on the resistive strip is expanded in a series of the multiplication of Gegenbauer(Ultraspherical) polynomials with the first order and functions of appropriate edge boundary condition. To verify the validity of the proposed method, the numerical results of normalized reflected power for the uniform resistivity R = 100 ohms/square and R = 0 as a conductive strip case show in good agreement with those in the existing papers.
