This study noted that elementary school students were unable to accurately comprehend the principles of moon phase changes and that teachers themselves lacked a full understanding of it as well. Therefore, this study classifies conception types through 161 5th grade respondents and suggests how to change students' conception types through the use of reconstructed teaching and learning materials (that have been developed in existing studies). It verified the changes in the learning achievement of 129 5th grade respondents and analyzed how to think about reconstructed teaching and learning materials through four teacher respondents and four 5th grade respondents from the same study. The results of this study are as follows: First, the conception types on moon phase changes were classified into C and W types. W types consisted of W1, W2, W3, W4, and W5 types. Students had difficulty in understanding the principles of a waxing crescent moon and first quarter phase changes. Second, the group taking classes, which implemented reconstructed teaching and learning materials, showed greater improvement in learning achievement posttest and long-term tests compared to those who have not. Finally, teachers and students reacted positively to the reconstructed teaching and learning materials as shown in exit survey results. In conclusion, it is suggested that teachers are better off utilizing reconstructed teaching and learning materials so that elementary school students may fully understand the principles of moon phase changes rather than just memorizing the results.

In this paper, a new filter structure to improve frequency response characteristics in decimation filter using CIC(Cascaded Integrator-Comb) filters and half band filters is proposed. Conventional filters improve only passband characteristics, but we propose a new filter which can improve stop band and pass band characteristics simultaneously. Since proposed filter needs only two multiplication, additional implementation cost is not much. And overall linear phase characteristics are maintained since the proposed filter is also linear phase. Finally, filter coefficients quantization effects ate discussed after Verilog-HDL coding.

In this paper, we proposed a compact arbitrary dual-band band-stop filter using CRLH transmission line. The proposed filter used CRLH transmission line as stub and it developed dual-band band-stop characteristics using non-linear phase response of CRLH transmission line. The size of proposed filter is compact. And it can control arbitrary dual stop band. In this paper, designed band-stop filter at GPS band and ISM band As result, the S(2,1) is about -30dB at GPS band and about -29dB at ISM band. The fabricated filter is very compact. Its dimension is 10mm*15mm.

This paper suggests an estimation method of the source signal and the channel impulse response (CIR) using ray-based blind deconvolution (RBD) in the underwater acoustic channel environment where Doppler effect exists by the relative motion between source and receiver. It is difficult to estimate the CIR on Doppler effect by the matched filter with a highly Doppler-sensitive waveform such as the m-sequence signal because Doppler shift can severely degrade the correlation between the received signal corrupted by Doppler effect and the original source signal. In this study, the Doppler-shifted source-signal's phase is estimated using the RBD, and the received signal is compensated by it to obtain the Doppler-corrected CIR. It is verified that using the matched filter with the received signal from the experimental data fails to estimate the CIR while the obtained CIR by the suggested method has the similarity to the propagation path of the ray model. Also, the results show that the reconstructed source signal using the RBD has the better Doppler shift compensation than the Doppler-shifted source signal derived from scattering function.

M channel near-perfect-reconstruction(NPR) pseudo-QMF banks are a hybrid of conventional pseudo-QMF design and spectral factorization approach where the analysis and synthesis filters are cosine-modulated versions of the prototype-lowpass filter(p-LPF). However, p-LPF H(z) does not have linear-phase symmetry as well as magnitude-distortion optimization since it is obtained by spectral factorization of $2M^{-th}$ band filter $G(z)=z^{-(N-1)}H(z^{-1})H(z)$. A fair amount of attention, therefore, has been focused on the design of filter banks for reducing only alias-cancellation distortion without reconstructed-amplitude distortion. In this paper, we propose a new method for designing linear-phase p-LPF in NPR pseudo-QMF banks, which is based on Maxflat(maximally flat) FIR filters with closed-form transfer function. In addition, p-LPF H(z) is optimized in this approach so that the 2M-channel overall distortion response represented with $G(z)=H^2(z)$ approximately becomes an unit magnitude response. Through several examples of NPR pseudo-QMF banks, it is shown that the peek ripple of the overall magnitude distortion is less than $3.5{\times}10^{-4}\;({\simeq}-70dB)$ and analysis/synthesis filters have the sharp monotone-stopband attenuation exceeding 100 dB.

In this paper, we propose the channel sounding scheme which is made for ideal communication between some application as well as the short distance of high speed data transmission in MIMO-OFDM system for Wireless PAN. This method is able to perceive the duration of the impulse response through the delaying of power delay profile, modeled a power delay profile which has an attenuate characteristic, and obtained the coefficient of channel response by ML (maximum likelihood). Through the amplitudes, phases and delays associated with each multipath component which were acquired from this channel sounding scheme, we can describe the wave propagation characteristics of channels between the transmitter and receiver so that the receiver could enhance not only the reliability but also the ability of communication link.

An analytic solution for the spectral response of linearly-chirped grating filter is derived, which takes the finite physical length of filter into account. In the usual case of broad-band linearly-chirped grating filter the analytic solution is expressed in terms of elementary functions, by approximating asymptotically the involved parabolic cylinder functions over different ranges of its argument. It is also shown that derived results are general enough to include previously-available approximations as particular cases, and that they agree well with the numerical solutions based upon the Runge-Kutta method.

본 논문은 중용량급 전원회로의 구성을 간략화 할 수 있는 절연형 AC-DC 컨버터의 구조와 그 제어 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 회로의 구조는 병렬 전력 처리를 기반으로 한다. 병렬 모듈의 기능을 각각 AC 입력 전류의 위상을 제어하는 역률개선(PFC) 기능과, 콘덴서에 저장된 에너지를 이용하여 DC 전압을 생성하는 DC-DC 컨버터의 기능으로 분리한다. 병렬 모듈의 최종 출력단을 서로 직렬 연결하여, PFC 모듈이 생성한 전압과 DC-DC 컨버터 모듈이 생성한 전압을 서로 더해서 출력하는 구조이다. 이러한 구조를 통해서 기존의 병렬형 AC-DC 컨버터에 대비하여 반도체 소자의 내압을 감소시킬 수 있고, 최종 DC 전압의 동작응답특성 향상이 가능하다. 회로의 동작모드 분석이 실시되었고, 제어기 구현 방법이 제시되었다. 제안된 구조는 PDP 전원회로에의 응용을 위해서 400W(출력전압-200V, 출력전류-2A)급 실험용 회로를 구현하여 동작검증을 실시하였다.

OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) is an effective modulation technique for high speed transmission over fading channels. However, it has a high bit error rate in the receiver if there is an error on frame synchronization because of phase rotation. A coherent OFDM system has to acquire exact timing synchronization of fraction and integer sampling positions. When a sampling offset exist the performance of a receiver will be degraded severely. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that acquires the fractional sampling offset in OFDM systems. This scheme compares the channel impulse responses with the early and late sampled signals having 0.5 sample offset from the estimated sampling positions by correlation with the received and training samples. Its performance is verified by computer simulations in multipath channels.

본 논문에서는 디지털 보호 계전기에 쓰이는 필터 중에서 최소 자승 알고리즘을 이용한 고성능 FIR 필터를 설계하였다. 기존의 DFT필터와 MATLAB 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 비교하였으며 FIR 필터의 VHDL모델 및 합성에 중점을 두었다. FIR 필터는 기본적으로 유한개의 임펄스 응답이 이루어지기 때문에 기타 다른 필터에 비하여 안정도가 높으며 선형적인 위상을 가지기 때문에 차단 주파수 대역의 왜곡현상을 없앨 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 여러 가지 알고리즘으로 구현한 FIR 필터를 시뮬레이션 한 결과 최소 자승 알고리즘이 가장 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 기본적으로 디지털 보호 계전기에서 디지털 필터의 기능은 사고 전압, 전류로부터 60Hz의 기본파 추출 CT, PT 왜곡 및 DC offset을 제거하는데 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기능을 가지면서 샘플링 주파수와 차수를 같게 하여 FIR 필터와 DFT 필터의 주파수 응답과 연 산 속도를 비교 하였다. 본 논문에서 설계된 최소 자승 알고리즘을 이용한 FIR 필터는 같은 조건의 DFT필터에 비해 1고조파와 2고조파의 차이가 10db 이상 더 우수 하였으며 연산 속도 또한 2배 이상 좋은 결과를 보였다.
