Forcing at the rotor blade passing frequencies is responsible for the majority of vibration related problems on helicopters. Blade passing frequencies of helicopters are generally in the range 10~30 Hz and the interest modes of the helicopters also exist in the range. By the way, the installation of a heavy sensor at the front extremities of an imported helicopter may change the modal characteristics of the airframe and results in the resonance with rotor passing frequencies. To avoid too large a change in the dynamics of the overall airframe, we determined how to install a heavy sensor through conceptual approach and finite element analysis. The results of a ground vibration test for airframe with sensor mount system clearly demonstrate that the installation design is acceptable dynamically.

The new periodic array structure or frequency selective surface with polarizers characteristic is proposed. The present structure is constructed with two sheets or FSS material, spaced about one-eight wavelength apart, the dipole element orientations of the two sheets being almost perpendicular to each other. The methods of the spectral domain immittance and MoM are used to analyze electromagnetic scattering from this periodic array structure. To confirm the validity of the polrizer's functions or the new periodic array structure, frequency selective surfaces are fabricated, calculated values for the frequency response of the reflection and transmission loss are compared with measured values. Good correspondence has been observed between them. Good axial ratio has been also observed to be achieved in the proposed structure.

This paper suggests a power level controllable frequency up-converter which is designed and fabricated using both the filtering technology consisted with only passive devices and a multi-level digital attenuator. The suggested frequency up-converter simultaneously realizes the low power consumption and the low cost model. Because of the possibility for controlling power levels, it is possible to use the suggested frequency up-converter for wide spectral range. According to the experimental results, the average gain value of 0.75dB is obtained for the bandwidth of 160MHz at the center frequency of 1,200MHz. Especially, it is confirmed that the power level can be controlled from 10 to -21.5dBm through the digital attenuator.

This paper presents a wide tuning range, fine-resolution DCO (Digitally Controlled Oscillator) with an active inductor. In order to control the frequency of the DCO, the transconductance of the active inductor is tuned digitally. In addition, the DCO gain needs to be calibrated digitally to compensate for gain variations. To cover the wide tuning range, an automatic three-step coarse tuning scheme is proposed. The DCO total frequency tuning range is 1.4 GHz (2.1 GHz to 3.5 GHz), it is 58 % at 2.4 GHz. An effective frequency resolution is 0.14 kHz/LSB. The proposed DCO is implemented in 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process. The total power consumption is 6.6 mW from a 1.2 V supply voltage. The phase noise of the DCO output at 2.4 GHz is -120.67 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset.

The possibility of a transmission noise reduction of piezoelectric smart panels using piezoelectric shunt damping is experimentally studied. Piezoelectric smart panel is basically a plate structure on which piezoelectric patch with shunt circuits is mounted and sound absorbing materials are bonded on the surface of the structure. Sound absorbing materials can absorb the sound transmitted at mid frequency region effectively while the use of piezoelectric shunt damping can reduce the transmission at resonance frequencies of the panel structure. To be able to reduce the sound transmission at low panel resonances, piezoelectric damping using the measured electrical impedance model is adopted. Resonant shunt circuit for piezoelectric shunt damping is composed of register and inductor in series, and they are determined by maximizing the dissipated energy throughout the circuit. The transmitted noise reduction performance of smart panels is investigated using an acoustic tunnel. The tunnel is a tube with square crosses section and a loud-speaker is mounted at one side of the tube as a sound source. Panels are mounted in the middle of the tunnel and the transmitted sound pressure across panels is measured. Noise reduction performance of a smart panels possessing absorbing material and/or air gap shows a good result at mid frequency region but little effect in the resonance frequency. By enabling the piezoelectric shunt damping, noise reduction of 10dB, 8dB is achieved at the resonance frequencise as well. Piezoelectric smart panels incorporating passive method and piezoelectric shunt damping are a promising technology for noise reduction in a broadband frequency.

A method of miniaturizing branch line coupler is presented. The method utilizes the microstrip line with overlay(or superstrate). The frequency dependent characteristics, dispersion and characteristic impedance, of this line are obtained by Immitance method in spectral domain and Method of Line. The relevant spectral domain Green's function is given and used to obtain numerical results. The branch line couplers with overlays are designed and fabricated at 2 GHz. The experimental results show that the size of coupler with overlay(${epsilon}_r$=10.2) is 31.4 precent smaller than conventional coupler. This minimized coupler is suitable for Butler Matrix as feeder for mobile communication beam forming antenna.

Retaining large stability margin is essential in designing a feedback control system to deal with the uncertainties inherently existing in the mathematical model and the control apparatus. The LQG controller in general loses the stability margin due to the embed Kalman filter. The performance of a control system called LTR with a DUOX structure(LTR/DOUX) to overcome the demerit of LQG controller is to be investigated from the responses in both the time and the frequency domain. The results indicated that the LTR/DOUX recovered the gain margin of 30dB approximately 20 times more than that of LQG/DOUX, resulting in a robust stable control system.

Tokamak 플라즈마는 ICRF 영역에서 외곽 플라즈마 부근에 CUT-OFF밀도가 있으며, 이보다 낮은 밀도에서는 ICRF 전파가 투과하지 못하는 전파 장벽이 존재하게 된다. 이때 전달되는 효율은 안테나 부하저항으로 알 수 있으며, 이는 전파장벽이 낮을수록 큰 값을 갖는다. 따라서, 전파장벽은 에너지 전달 효율을 급격히 떨어뜨리므로 전파 장벽의 특성을 분석하고 이를 낮추는게 매우 중요하다. CUT-OFF 밀도는 자기장, k_par, 구동주파수, 플라즈마 밀도에 의존하게 되고, 측정한 밀도 분포를 통해 전파장벽의 구간을 안다면,이를 이용하여 안테나의 부하저항과의 의존성을 알 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 외곽 플라즈마 밀도 분포를 얻기 위해 토카막의 언저리 영역에서 플라즈마에 간섭없이 $10^{18}{\sim}10^{19}m^{-3}$의 플라즈마 밀도를 진단할 수 있는 9GHz~30GHz의 microwave를 사용하는 반사계를 설계하였으며,플라즈마 변수와 ICRF 운전 변수에 따른 부하저항의 계산결과와 반사계 시스템 설계에 대한 내용이 발표될 것이다.
