In this paper, we proposed the transmit beam measurement method of active phased array antenna, which is installed in Korea's first developed naval medium range radar, using near-field measurement facility. The pulse-mode high power characteristics of active phased array antenna's trasmit-beam make it difficult to measure with general near-field measurement facilities where low power continuous RF signals are used. Thus, in this paper, the measurement method of active phased array antenna's transmit beam in conjunction with the near-field measurement facility, which is suitable for the high-power transmit beam measurement, and PNA-X network analyzer(Agilent Technologies), which can support pulse-mode measurement, was proposed and measured by near-field measurement techniques. And the EIRP(Effective Isotropic Radiated Power), the transmit characteristic of active phased array antenna, was measured by the near field measurement techniques and compared to numerical estimation which was nearly equal with small difference of 0.1 dB.

We report on the measurements of absorption spectra from acetylene ($^{12}C_2H_2$) and hydrogen cyanide ($H^{13}C^{14}N$) for wavelength reference in the C-band (conventional band) region using a supercontinuum optical source generated from a mode-locked $Cr^{4+}$:YAG laser. The center wavelength of the mode-locked $Cr^{4+}$:YAG laser was 1510 nm and the pulse duration was 75 fs at 100 MHz repetition rate. The supercontinuum source achieved a flatness of ${\pm}5dB$ over a wavelength range of more than 400 nm, using a 20 m long photonic crystal fiber. The measured absorption spectra from acetylene ($^{12}C_2H_2$) and hydrogen cyanide ($H^{13}C^{14}N$) had more than 50 lines and were analyzed for wavelength standardization.

We report on the development of a passively mode-locked near-infrared femtosecond laser with Cr:YAG crystal that operates near room temperature. The laser wavelength could easily be tuned by using only the internal prism pair over 110 nm from 1400 nm to 1510 nm in cw and over about 30 nm in mode-locked operation, respectively Maximum cw output powers of 810 mW were obtained with $1.5 \%$ output coupler for absorbed pump powers of 7.6 W. For compensation of the internal group velocity dispersion, an IR graded prism pair was used. The Cr:YAG laser delivered nearly Fourier-transform limited pulses with a pulse duration as short as 64 fs at 100 MHz repetition rate. In the mode-locked regime, the laser was operating at 1510 nm with a spectral bandwidth of 44 nm. In order to avoid unstable mode-locking and power instabilities, self-built tubes were inserted into the beam path in the resonator and purged with N2 gas. Finally, output powers of the Cr:YAG laser were optimized to 250 mW fer long time stable mode-locked operation.

상변화 메모리는 비휘발성 메모리이면서 빠른 동작 속도, 낮은 동작 전압 등 다양한 장점을 지니고 있어 차세대 메모리로 주목 받고 있다. 최근 상변화 메모리의 동작 전류를 감소시키기 위해 상변화 물질 및 전극 물질에 대한 연구를 진행하고 있으며, 소자의 크기를 최소화 하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 나노 임프린트 리소그래피와 전도성 AFM을 이용하여 나노급 상변화 물질의 특성을 평가하였다. 나노급 상변화 물질을 형성하기 위해 열경화성 나노 임프린트 리소그래피를 이용하여 $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$(GST)/Mo/SiO2 기판 위에 200nm급 홀 패턴을 형성하였다. 홀 패턴에 Cr을 증착하여 리프트 오프 한 뒤 Cr을 하드 마스크로 사용하여 GST를 식각하였다. 그 결과, Mo 하부 전극 위에200nm 지름과 100nm 높이를 가지는 GST 나노 기둥을 형성하였다. GST 나노 기둥의 전기적 특성 평가를 위해 저항 측정 장비 및 펄스 발생기와AFM을 사용하였다. AFM은 접촉 모드로 설정하였으며, Pt가 코팅된 AFM tip을 사용하여 Cr 하드 마스크와 함께 상부 전극으로 사용하였다. GST 나노 기둥을 초기화 시키기 위해 I-V sweep을 하였으며, 그 결과 $1M\Omega$에서 $10\;k\Omega$으로 저항이 변화함을 확인하였다. GST 나노 기둥은 2V, 5ns의 리셋 펄스에서 비정질로 변화하였으며, 1.3V, 150ns의 셋 펄스에서 결정질로 변화하였다. 이 동작 전압으로 5번의 스위칭 특성을 평가하였으며, 이 결과는 소자 형태의 200nm 급GST의 특성과 유사하여 나노급 상변화 물질을 테스트하는 새로운 방법으로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

A performance evaluation is made in terms of thrust, impulse bit. and specific impulses for a set of mono-propellant hydrazine thrusters producing 0.95 lbf of nominal thrust at an inlet pressure of 350 psia. With a brief description on the hot-firing test configuration and procedures. a typical data obtained from steady-state firing mode is given directly showing the variational behavior of propellant supply pressure, mass flow rate, vacuum condition, and thrust. The performance features are successfully compared to the reference criteria of 1-lbf standard mono-propellant rocket engine. Additionally. a statistical inter-thruster treatment is concisely depicted for the justification of selected thrusters as a grouped member of flight model for spacecraft propulsion system.

rate of outflow is equated to the total rate of flow, both the state equation and its linearized equation yield almost identical oscillations of water levels. This shows that effects of pipe resistance on the surges are small, and justifies a free oscillation analysis. Free oscillation equation has six eigen modes of different periods, including a rigid mode which is existed when the pumped rate of outflow differs from the total rate of inflow. The six modes constitute a variety of surges dependent on different inflow and outflow conditions. Presence of the rigid mode needs sophisticated pump operations adjusted to real flood inflows.

10 GHz clock recovery from 40 Gbit/s optical time-division-multiplexed(OTDM) signal pulses was experimentally demonstrated using an optical phase lock loop based on a terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer(TOAD) with a local-reference-oscillator-free electronic feedback circuit. The 10 GHz clock was successfully extracted from 40 Gbit/s signals. The SNR of the time-extracted 10 GHz RF signal to the side components was larger than 40 dB. Also we performed numerical simulation about the extraction process of phase information in TOAD. The lock-in frequency range of the clock recovery is found to be 10 kHz.

A new high voltage DC power supply is proposed. The proposed power supply is constructed with several power converters connected in series. It is easy to obtain high DC voltage for the same structure of each power converter. The output DC power of the proposed power supply can be disconnected from the load within several hundred microseconds at the instant of a load short-circuit fault. The rising time of the output DC voltage is also as small as several hundred microseconds, and there is no overshoot of the voltage because all of the output filter capacitors keep undischarged state even in load short-circuit condition. Therefore, the proposed scheme is suitable for the protection of frequent output short-circuit and fast on/off switching of output DC voltage. The proposed power supply has improved features such as simple structure, high power factor, and reduced size and volume compared with the conventional schemes. The operating principle is described and the validity of the proposed scheme is proved through simulations and experiments.

In this paper, a double-input single-output architecture of a LNA(Low Noise Amplifier) is presented to enable to be devised for light weight and small-sized OTM(On-The-Move) satellite communication system suitable to be mounted on vehicles. In spite of advantages of the double-input single-output architecture of a LNA such as reduction of the number of physical channels, it results in time-varying phase error between a fundamental mode path and a high-order mode path. This paper shows that the error can be corrected by adding pilot signals to the LNA and using signal processing, and also gives the measurement data to use the method mentioned above.

We propose a new method to reduce the complexity of excitation codebook search. The preselected excitation pulses by the coarse search method can be updated to pulses with higher quality performance measure. The excitation pulses can arbitrarily be deleted and inserted among the searched pulses until the overall performance achieves. If we use this excitation pulse search method in AMR-WB, the complexity required for excitation codebook search can be reduced to half the original method while the output speech maintains equal speech quality to a conventional method.
