In this paper, measurement methods for the characteristics of antennas for indoor digital TV (DTV), having 75-ohm port impedance, are introduced. Reference impedance of typical radio frequency (or microwave) systems and measurement equipments is 50 ohm. However, the reference impedance of antennas for indoor DTV is 75 ohm, and the characteristics of the antennas cannot be measured directly using the measurement equipments. Measurement methods, using test equipments with reference impedance of 50 ohm, for the characteristics(impedance, radiation patterns, and gain) of antennas designed to fit for 75 ohm port are introduced.

본 연구는 시각 동기 위상 측정 정보를 이용하여 전력계통에 나타나는 여러 가지 동요 현상을 검출하기 위한 기초 연구로써, 시계열 데이터 분석 분야로 분류된다. 제시한 방법은 비선형 동특성에 해석 기반으로 접근하여 전력계통에 나타날 수 있는 여러 동요 현상을 범용적으로 검출해 낼 수 있다. 비선형 동요 현상의 신호적 패턴을 수학적으로 기본 순시치 파형으로부터 피크치 샘플링을 통해 전개하여 계통 요소간 간섭으로 인한 원하지 않는 진동 모드를 검출하고자 한다. 계통의 변화로 진동 모드가 나타날 때, 2차원 평면에 실효치로 환산한 시계열 전압 데이터와 선형화된 플로퀘트 상수(Floquet multiplier)를 맵핑하여 도시하고, 정상상태 지점으로부터 거리를 계산하여 최대 리아프노프 지수 계산을 통해 계통이 불안정하게 되는 시간을 시계열 데이터 분석으로 추정하는 것이 본 방법의 핵심이다. 이러한 접근으로 제시한 비선형 동요 검출 알고리즘을 적용하여 디지털 필터 적용 또는 주파수 영역 해석과 같은 오프라인 Study와 달리 온라인으로 신속하게 계통의 현재 상태를 알 수 있게 된다.

드론 Photogrammetry는 높은 기술적 활용가치가 있는 기술로서, 결과물로 생성하는 3D 디지털 공간정보 모델이 시설물의 비육안 안전점검 및 진단에 활용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 디지털 트윈 구축을 위한 가장 기초적이고 핵심적인 수치 데이터를 제공하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 드론 Photogrammetry의 적정 품질을 구현하기 위한 임무비행의 다양한 영향인자에 대해 고찰하였다. K-water연구원 누수탐사실습장을 대상으로 드론 사진 촬영 시 비행고도, 비행속도, 중첩도, 카메라 Pitch각의 영향에 대해 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 비행시간에 영향을 미치는 인자로서 비행고도, 중첩도, 비행속도의 순으로 중요도가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 드론 임무 비행 시 후처리 결과에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자는 중첩도로 나타났다. 중첩도 60% 임무비행은 3D 모델의 geometry 왜곡이 큰 편으로 나타났다. 비행 고도는 GSD (Ground Sampling Distance)와 직접 연계되므로 중요하며, 낮은 고도일수록 높은 품질의 모델링이 가능하다. April Tag를 통한 지상기준점 자동 패턴 인식 기능은 후처리 과정에서 시간 절약이 가능하여 유용하였다. 비행속도에 의한 결과물의 품질은 큰 차이가 없었으나, 수직 구조물의 모서리 부분에 다소 차이가 있었다. 짐벌 Pitch각도에 의한 정사영상 품질의 차이는 크지 않았으나 수직구조물과 평면적 구조물에 따라 각기 다른 촬영각도를 적용하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 연구성과는 향후 보다 다양한 환경에서의 데이터 수집을 통해 최적 디지털 현실 모델링에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

Upper reach of Soyang River at the northernmost area around Taebaek Mountains in South korea is profitable area to understand paleo-environment during the Quaternary such as tectonic process and climate change in the Korean Peninsula. This study explained paleo-environment affect to channel development by geomorphic distribution and characteristics of terrace surfaces, and analysis of deposits at 58 fluvial terraces in upper reach of Soyang River. Fluvial terraces were classified from T1 to T6. Most terraces are distributed on the point bar in meandering channel and one side along river valley. Terraces tend to decrease in number and superficial dissection rate to be higher and channel slope to be steeper if it takes long time from T1 to 6. The paleo-channel of Soyang River is supposed to be stronger meandering in period of T2 than T3. The weathering rind of gravel is generally thicker in older terrace, however, differs by contents of water and air in deposits. Based on the data of stratigraphy, grain size analysis, pollen analysis and rubification index in deposit, formation age of T5 terrace in Soyang River are estimated in MIS(Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage) 10, and T2 terrace are estimated in MIS 6.

Ultrasonic sensors are widely used in various applications due to advantages of low cost, simplicity in construction, mechanical robustness, and little environmental restriction in usage. But for the application of object recognition, ultrasonic sensors exhibit several shortcomings of poor directionality which results in low spatial resolution of objects, and specularity which gives frequent erroneous range readings. The time-of-flight(TOF) method generally used for distance measurement can not distinguish small object patterns of plane, corner or edge. To resolve the problem, an increased number of the sensors in the forms of a linear array or 2-dimensional array of the sensors has been used. Also better resolution has been obtained by shifting the array in several steps using mechanical actuators. Also simple patterns are classified based on analyzing signal reflections. In this paper we propose a method of a sensor array system with improved capability in pattern distinction using electronic circuits accompanying the sensor array, and intelligent algorithm based on neuro-fuzzy processing of data fusion. The circuit changes transmitter output voltages of array elements in several steps. A set of different return signals from neighborhood sensors is manipulated to provide enhanced pattern recognition in the aspects of inclination angle, size and shift as well as distance of objects. The results show improved resolution of the measurements for smaller targets.

Among imaging and treatment devices for small animals, positron emission tomography(PET) causes a change in spatial resolution within a field of view. This is a phenomenon caused by using a small gantry and a thin and long scintillation pixel, and detectors that measure the interaction depth are being developed and researched to solve this problem. In this study, a detector that measures the interaction depth was designed using several scintillator blocks and light guides with different reflector patterns. The scintillator block composed of 4 × 4 arrays of 3 mm × 3 mm × 5 mm scintillation pixels formed four layers, and a light guide was inserted in each layer to configure the entire detector. In order to check whether the interaction depth was measured, a gamma ray interaction was generated at the center of all scintillation pixels to acquire data and then reconstructed into a flood image. The reflector patterns of the light guides inserted between the layers were all different, so the positions of the scintillation pixels for each layer were formed in different locations. It is considered that even spatial resolution can be achieved over all regions of the field of view if all positions of the scintillation pixels thus formed are separated and used for image reconstruction.

Significant efforts have been devoted to developing high-performance composite materials by emulating the structure of biological creatures with superior mechanical characteristics. Nacre has been one of the most sought-after natural structures due to its exceptional fracture toughness compared with the constituent materials. However, the effect of manipulating the nacre-like geometry on the impact performance has not been fully investigated thus far. In this study, composites of randomly manipulated nacreous geometry are numerically developed and the impact performance is analyzed. We develop an algorithm by which the planar area of platelets in the nacre-like design is randomly resized. Thereafter, the numerical models of nonuniform nacre-patterned multi-layer structures are developed and the drop-weight impact simulation is performed. The impact behaviors of the model are evaluated by using the ratio of absorbed energy, the von Mises stress distribution, and the impact force-time curve. Therefore, the effect of the geometric irregularity on the nacre-patterned design is elucidated. This insight can be efficiently utilized in establishing the optimum design of the nacre-patterned structure.

In this paper, a new radiating structure with a multi-layered two-dimensional metallic disk array was proposed for shaping the flat-topped element pattern. It is an infinite periodic planar array structure with metallic disks finitely stacked above the radiating circular waveguide apertures. The theoretical analysis was in detail performed using rigid full-wave analysis, and was based on modal representations for the fields in the partial regions of the array structure and for the currents on the metallic disks. The final system of linear algebraic equations was derived using the orthogonal property of vector wave functions, mode-matching method, boundary conditions and Galerkin's method, and also their unknown modal coefficients needed for calculation of the array characteristics were determined by Gauss elimination method. The application of the algorithm was demonstrated in an array design for shaping the flat-topped element patterns of $\pm$20$^{\circ}$ beam width in Ka-band. The optimal design parameters normalized by a wavelength for general applications are presented, which are obtained through optimization process on the basis of simulation and design experience. A Ka-band experimental breadboard with symmetric nineteen elements was fabricated to compare simulation results with experimental results. The metallic disks array structure stacked above the radiating circular waveguide apertures was realized using ion-beam deposition method on thin polymer films. It was shown that the calculated and measured element patterns of the breadboard were in very close agreement within the beam scanning range. The result analysis for side lobe and grating lobe was done, and also a blindness phenomenon was discussed, which may cause by multi-layered metallic disk structure at the broadside. Input VSWR of the breadboard was less than 1.14, and its gains measured at 29.0 GHz. 29.5 GHz and 30 GHz were 10.2 dB, 10.0 dB and 10.7 dB, respectively. The experimental and simulation results showed that the proposed multi-layered metallic disk array structure could shape the efficient flat-topped element pattern.

In landscape architecture, the pursuit of pluralism requires diverse expression based on cultural and philosophical differences. Landscape architects impart social purposes and spatial relationships to the contemporary generation by providing particular environments that reflect the culture of the day. Particularly, landscape architects reflect contemporary art in their design works and express the characteristics of the arts of the day in real spaces. Historically they have sought motives from all fields of art. The plastic concept in landscape design is based specifically on paintings that directly influence spatial composition. Minimalism in landscape architecture contributes to the formation of artistic characteristics that can be explained to improve artistry in landscapes as aesthetic objects, which were eliminated in the modernist era, and to realize contemporary art. By interpretively studying design works, therefore, this study reveals plastic concepts' influence on landscape design affected by minimalist art. The characteristics of plastic concepts in minimalist landscape design can be summarized as follows. First, the reduction of Minimalist Landscape is meant for viewers to immediately understand a work's identity and to easily perceive its intention by using design language implied by the pure geometric forms such as circles, triangles and squares. Second, the extension intends to seek internal order by connecting design elements mutually and externally to provide visual direction by adopting linear expression. Third, the flatness that defines meaningless space tends to overlay additional elements on a flattened site to induce the perception of a sequence of landscapes and to patternize pavement to improve its visual image. Finally, seriality has two characteristics: to make centrality in space and to compose by repeating formative elements and materials based on the pursuit of a site's totality, rather than an individual space's originality.
