A triangular microstrip antenna with T-shaped slits is proposed for tunable dual-band applications. The proposed antenna is designed using chip capacitors as a prototype. From this result the capacitor can be replaced to a varactor diode to control capacitance value. Since the input impedance of the antenna can be varied with the value of the chip capacitors on the T-shaped slits, the resonant frequency may be changed. The return losses are better than 10 dB at the lower band of $0.78{\sim}1.21$ GHz and 20 dB at the upper band of $1.97{\sim}2.17$ GHz, respectively. This antenna has the bandwidth of about 10 MHz and 50 MHz at each band. The peak gains of the antenna yield 0 dBi at the lower band and 3 dBi at the upper band, respectively. Details of the antenna design are described, and its performances are presented and analyzed.

In this paper, a wideband antenna accomplished by adding a double sleeve of a rectangular planar monopole structure is proposed. In order to impedance matching of proposed antenna, the antenna performance was improved by adding two gap sleeves and outer sleeve for double sleeve structure. HFSS simulator of ANSYS corp. was used in order to confirm the antenna parameter characteristic. According to the simulation results, the VSWR was less than 2 for the range of 2.5GHz~10.5GHz. The frequency bandwidth is 8GHz. The frequency range of the actual fabricated antenna was 2.92GHz~10.32GHz, the frequency bandwidth is 7.4GHz. The measured radiation pattern frequency is 3GHz, 6GHz and 9GHz. The results are similar with dipole antenna pattern in all frequency. The antenna size is $40{\times}40mm^2$. The utilization possibility of the ultra-wideband planar monopole antenna could be confirmed according to compare and analyze the simulation and measurement data.

The SOQPSK-TG is a modulated signal for aeronautical telemetry with a very good bandwidth efficiency. In this paper, the frequency waveform filter of the SOQPSK-TG is linearly approximated and modeled with a duobinary precoder and a modified frequency waveform filter having a phase transition period of about 1T_b. In combination with the existing precoder, the SOQPSK-TG is modeled by a double duobinary MSK. Comparing the SOQPSK-TG signal and the newly modeled double duobinary MSK signal in time domain and frequency domain, it is confirmed that the two signals are almost identical and there is virtually no performance difference. Moreover, we can attain 0.1 dB BER performance improvement compared to the existing cosine filter when the filter of the IQ-detector is implemented with a cosine sum filter taking into account the change in the modulation index by the new double doubinary precoder.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the mean fundamental frequency (F0) changes depending on language, task, or language proficiency for Korean-English bilinguals. A total of forty-eight Korean-English speakers (28 balanced bilinguals and 20 Korean dominant bilinguals) participated in the study. Participants were asked to read aloud two types of tasks in English and Korean. For statistical analyses, the language ${\times}$ task two-way repeated ANOVAs were conducted within the balanced bilingual group first, and then group ${\times}$ language two-way mixed ANOVAs. The results showed that the females in both bilingual groups changed their mean F0 depending on the language they used and the tasks (p<.05), whereas no significant results were found in the males in either group under any conditions. The mean fundamental frequency in the Korean reading task was significantly higher than that in the English reading task for females in both balanced and Korean dominant bilingual groups. Thus, changes in mean F0 depending on language and context may reflect gender-specific characteristics, and females seem to be more sensitive to the socio-cultural standards that are imposed on them.

본 논문은 Local oscillator의 2차 harmonic 신호를 이용하고 Dual gate FET 형태를 이용한 이중대역 주파수 혼합기 설계에 대한 연구 이다. 기존의 회로 구조는 두 대역을 처리하기 위해 각각 두 개의 국부 발진기와 혼합기를 사용함으로 인하여 구조의 복잡함과 큰 전력 손실이라는 단점을 가지고 있었다. 본 연구는 하나의 주파수 혼합기로 두 개의 대역에서 동시에 적용할 수 있는 Concurrent 이중 대역 설계 연구를 하였다. ISM(Industrial Science Medical) 대역 인 912MHz, 2.45GHz의 RF 입력과 455.5MHz, 1224.5MHz의 LO 입력 신호에서 동일한 IF인 1MHz로 하향변환 했을 때 모의실험 결과 변환이득은 각각 7dB, 12dB로 이고 RF-LO 격리도는 -29dB, -24.7dB가 나왔다. 또한 두 입력 단에서의 반사손실의 -15dB 이상을 얻었다. 또한 각각의 대역에서 잡음지수는 8.5dB, 6.26dB이다.

The backscatter signals are very weak so they can be easily interfered by signal interferences and channels. In this paper, we propose a two-level classification algorithm for backscatter communications which chooses the idle frequency channel based on cognitive radio systems. The two-level classification algorithm provides an optimal idle frequency channel by obtaining informations about idle frequencies, fading of the channels, and the channels' usage state by primary users. Our simulation results show the improvement of BER and received power performance in backscatter communications by using the proposed algorithm, and the improvement of the algorithm's performance in backscatter communications.

Radiation characteristics of a dual-mode inductor loaded patch antenna using zeroth order resonance and half wavelength resonance are investigated. The isolation between two radiation patterns from the two different modes is improved by increasing the forward radiation and decreasing the horizontal radiation of half wavelength resonance mode. The frequency difference between the two resonant frequencies increases as the dielectric constant of the antenna substrate decreases and the operating frequency increases.

In this paper, we study the characteristics of dual band microstip antenna with modified inset feeder and a single slot. The modified inset feeder consists of the vertical inset feeder placed in x direction and the horizontal one in y direction for shortening the total length of inset feeder. The optimun feeding position for good impedance matching at two resonant frequencies can be easily found by adjusting the horizontal inset distance. And Various frequency ratios can be simply obtained by the parameters of slot. The measurements for fabricated antenna prototypes are carried out for validation. The measured results show a tunable frequency ratio from 1.25 to 1.88 with the variation of slot parameters. It is worthwhile to point out that the radiation patterns are similar at both bands. and below -20.0 dB of cross polarization level at the E plane.

플라즈마를 이용하는 공정은 평판 디스플레이와 박막 트렌지스터, LCD 같은 반도체 산업에 널리 사용되고 있다. 최근 이와 같은 산업을 위한 공정은 마이크로 단위 이하에서 진행되고 있으며, 그 크기가 작아질수록 공정을 위한 비용은 증가하게 되었다. 따라서 제품의 대량생산 및 원가절감을 위해 웨이퍼의 대구경화가 진행되었고, 그런 대구경의 웨이퍼을 생산하기 위한 대면적 플라즈마 소스 개발 역시도 필요하게 되었다. 그리고 2014년에는 450 mm 크기의 웨이퍼가 사용될 것으로 예상되고 있다. 450 mm 대구경 웨이퍼용 유도결합플라자마 장치를 이용하여 플라즈마의 특성을 Langmuir probe를 사용하여 측정하였다. 플라즈마를 방전시키는 안테나의 형태는 spiral 형태의 안테나를 사용하였고, 이중주파수를 사용하기 위해 spiral 형태의 안테나를 두개로 나누어 안쪽의 안테나에는 2 Mhz를 바깥쪽의 안테나에는 13.56 Mhz를 인가하였다. 공정 압력은 10 mTorr로 유지하고 안쪽의 2 Mhz 안테나에는 100~800 W까지 변화시키고 바깥쪽의 13.56 Mhz 안테나에는 100~1,000 W까지 변화시켜 그 때의 플라즈마의 특성을 분석해 보았다. Langmuir probe를 이용하여 방전된 플라즈마를 관찰한 결과, 기판 위에서의 플라즈마 균일도가 4~23%가 되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 13.56 Mhz의 인가되는 파워를 고정 시키고 2 Mhz만을 변화시켰을 경우 2 Mhz의 파워를 400 W까지 증가시켰을 때는 플라즈마의 밀도가 서서히 증가하였으나 400 W 이상에서는 밀도가 크게 증가하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 하지만 플라즈마의 온도와 potential의 경우 밀도와는 반대로 2 Mhz에 인가되는 파워가 증가 될수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 위의 실험을 통해 우리는 전자에너지분포함수(EEDFs)를 얻을 수 있었고, 그 안에서 낮은 주파수(2 Mhz)를 이용하여 낮은 에너지를 가진 전자의 밀도를 조절할 수 있다는 것과 높은 주파수(13.56 Mhz)에 인가된 파워가 증가함에 따라 높은 에너지를 얻을 수 있다는 결과를 확인 할 수 있었다.
