An L-band Linear Accelerator System for E-beam sterilization is under construction for bio-technology application. The klystron-modulator system as an RF microwave source has an important role as major components to offer the system reliability for long time steady-state operations. A PFN line type pulse generator with a peak power of 71.5-MW, $7\;{\mu}s$, 285 pps is required to drive a high-power klystron. The high power pulse transformer has a function of transferring pulse energy from a pulsed power source to a high power load. The pulse transformer producing a pulse with a peak voltage of 275 kV is required to produce 30-MW peak and 60 kW average RF output power at the frequency of 1.3-GHz. We have designed the high power pulse transformer with 1:13 step-up ratio. The peak and average power capability is 71.5-MW (275 kV, 260 A at load side with $7\;{\mu}s$ pulse width) and 130 kW, respectively. In this paper, we present measurements and its analysis on the design parameters, and an initial test result as well as a design concept on the high-power pulse transformer.

In this paper, Passive Temperature Compensation Technology is apply to 8-channel Optical multiplexer with 1000Hz channel spacing. The 8-channel multiplexer is fabricated by connecting three cascaded Mach Zehnder Interferometer(MZI) of optical fiber type, and each interferometer has the wavelength interval of 100GHz, 2000Hz and 4000Hz, respectively. Furthermore, to acquire uniform insertion loss, it is fabricated by using Wavelength Flatten Coupler(WFC) in which the variation of insertion loss is low. $CO_2$ laser to adjust precisely the wavelength. The optical fiber is very sensitive in the thermal variation around. Thus, When fabrication the prototype, it is applied a technique to compensate the optical thermal effect because the center wavelength at the output is shifted according to the thermal variation around. In summary, The prototype composed by eight cascaded MZI has an insertion loss of 5.5 dB, the bandwidth of 0.8nm at 0.5 dB point, and channel crosstalk of 25 dB. Furthermore, the loss dependent on polarization is measured as 0.06dB. Consequently, the output wavelength is shifted within 0.05 m when the surrounding temperature varies until $60^{\circ}C$

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the direction of tissue contraction after microwave ablation in ex vivo bovine liver models. Materials and Methods: Ablation procedures were conducted in a total of 90 sites in ex vivo bovine liver models, including the surface (n = 60) and parenchyma (n = 30), to examine the direction of contraction of the tissue in the peripheral and central regions from the microwave antenna. Three commercially available 2.45-GHz microwave systems (Emprint, Neuwave, and Surblate) were used. For surface ablation, the lengths of two overlapped square markers were measured after 2.5- and 5-minutes ablations (n = 10 ablations for each system for each ablation time). For parenchyma ablation, seven predetermined distances between the markers were measured on the cutting plane after 5- and 10-minutes ablations (n = 5 ablations for each system for each ablation time). The contraction in the radial and longitudinal directions and the sphericity index (SI) of the ablation zones were compared between the three systems using analysis of variance. Results: In the surface ablation experiment, the mean longitudinal contraction ratio and SI from a 5-minutes ablation using the Emprint, Neuwave, and Surblate systems were 28.92% and 1.04, 20.10% and 0.53, and 24.90% and 0.45, respectively (p < 0.001). A positive correlation between longitudinal contraction and SI was noted, and a similar radial contraction was observed. In the parenchyma ablation experiment, the mean longitudinal contraction ratio and SI from a 10-minutes ablation using the three pieces of equipment were 38.60% and 1.06, 32.45% and 0.61, and 28.50% and 0.50, respectively (p < 0.001). There was a significant difference in the longitudinal contraction properties, whereas there was no significant difference in the radial contraction properties. Conclusion: The degree of longitudinal contraction showed significant differences depending on the microwave ablation equipment, which may affect the SI of the ablation zone.

모돈은 사육 특성상 제한된 파일롯 공간 안에 장시간 머물기 때문에 과중한 몸무게에 의한 지제 이상, 섭식 등의 불량, 수면상태의 불량 등을 지속적으로 관찰해야 하는 대상이다. 측면에 다수의 초음파 센서를 설치하여 기립의 상태 및 운동 시 몸체 궤적의 특성을 분석하여 종합적으로 모돈의 행동 특성을 정량화 하고자 하였다. 이 과정에서 계측 신호의 값을 대수적으로 비교하는 방식에 한계가 있음을 발견하였고, 이를 해결하고자 10 Hz/Ch 내외의 시계열 상대거리 궤적 신호를 주파수 도메인으로 변경하여 분석을 수행하였다. 일정 주파수에 집중되어 있는 주파수 값의 크기 변화(파워 스펙트럼 밀도)를 기준으로 모돈의 움직임의 정상 상태 유무 판별이 가능하였다. 단, 이러한 분석은 계측 데이터를 일괄 처리 방식으로 분석하는 방법으로 도출이 되었으므로, 계측과 정량 분석을 동시에 수행하기 위한 개선이 필요하였다. 계측 시스템에서 사용한 마이크로 프로세서는 Nucleo-446(STMelectronics, CA, USA)로 180 Mhz의 클럭 속도로 작동하나, 총 100 Hz 내외의 16비트 계측 신호에 대해 추가적으로 FFT 등의 주파수 변환 신호 처리를 수행하기에는 연산 능력이 부족하였다. 한편, 주파수 분석의 주기를 1분 단위로 할 경우 처리해야할 정보의 크기는 $100{\times}60{\times}5{\times}2Byte$ 이므로 1분 내에 해당 연산을 종료할 수 있는 추가의 연산 장치가 필요하였다. 계측과 주파수 도메인 변환 연산을 동시에 수행하기 위하여 1 Ghz의 연산능력을 가진 ARM A9 계열의 초소형 멀티코어 AP인 NanoPi Neo Air(Friendlyarm, Guangzhou, China)을 선정하였다. 4개의 코어를 각각 계측, Median 필터링, Smoothing 연산, FFT 분석에 사용하여 1분 단위, 2분 단위, 5분 단위의 주파수 분석을 동시에 수행하였다. 병렬 연산 라이브러리는 오픈 소스인 MPICH(www.mpich.org)를 이용하였다. 상대적으로 여유있는 자원을 보유하고 코어를 실시간으로 결정하여 다수의 모돈 개체 동시 모니터링을 위한 네트워크 연결 역할을 동시에 수행하도록 하였다. 1주일 내외의 요인 실험 수행 결과, 약 70 Mbyte의 데이터가 축적이 되었으며, 1분 단위, 2분 단위, 5분 단위의 주파수 도메인 변환 후 결과를 동시에 취득할 수 있었다. 일부 주파수 도메인 상의 파워 밀도 값이 모돈의 행동 특성에 분석에 유효한 정보를 제공함을 발견하였다. 모돈사 내 현장 보급이 가능한 초소형 AP와 멀티 코어 기반 병렬 처리 기법을 이용한 현장 진단 시스템 개발 연구를 지속적으로 수행할 것이다.

In this study, the oceanic Total Precipitable Water (TPW) retrieval algorithm at 16 km altitude of High Altitude Long Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (HALE UAV) is described. Empirical equation based on Wentz method (1995) that uses the 18.7 and 22.235 GHz channels is developed using the simulated brightness temperature and SeeBor training dataset. To do radiative simulation, Satellite Data Simulator Unit (SDSU) Radiative Transfer Model (RTM) is used. The data of 60% (523) and 40% (349) in the SeeBor training dataset are used to develop and validate the TPW retrieval algorithm, respectively. The range of coefficients for the TPW retrieval at the altitude of 3~18 km with 3 km interval were 153.69~199.87 (${\alpha}$), 54.330~58.468 (${\beta}$), and 84.519~93.484 (${\gamma}$). The bias and RMSE at each altitude were found to be about $-0.81kg\;m^{-2}$ and $2.17kg\;m^{-2}$, respectively. Correlation coefficients were more than 0.9. Radiosonde observation has been generally operated over land. To validate the accuracy of the oceanic TPW retrieval algorithm, observation data from the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) Gisang 1 research vessel about six clear sky cases representing spring, autumn, and summer season is used. Difference between retrieved and observed TPW at 16 km altitude were in the range of $0.53{\sim}1.87kg\;m^{-2}$, which is reasonable for most applications. Difference in TPW between retrieval and observation at each altitude (3~15 km) is also presented. Differences of TPW at altitudes more than 6 km were $0.3{\sim}1.9kg\;m^{-2}$. Retrieved TPW at 3 km altitude was smaller than upper level with a difference of $-0.25{\sim}0.75kg\;m^{-2}$ compared to the observed TPW.

Purpose: The overall objective of this study was to evaluate the vegetation fraction of soybeans, grown under different cropping conditions using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with a red, green, and blue (RGB) camera. Methods: Test plots were prepared based on different cropping treatments, i.e., soybean single-cropping, with and without herbicide application and soybean and barley-cover cropping, with and without herbicide application. The UAV flights were manually controlled using a remote flight controller on the ground, with 2.4 GHz radio frequency communication. For image pre-processing, the acquired images were pre-treated and georeferenced using a fisheye distortion removal function, and ground control points were collected using Google Maps. Tarpaulin panels of different colors were used to calibrate the multi-temporal images by converting the RGB digital number values into the RGB reflectance spectrum, utilizing a linear regression method. Excess Green (ExG) vegetation indices for each of the test plots were compared with the M-statistic method in order to quantitatively evaluate the greenness of soybean fields under different cropping systems. Results: The reflectance calibration methods used in the study showed high coefficients of determination, ranging from 0.8 to 0.9, indicating the feasibility of a linear regression fitting method for monitoring multi-temporal RGB images of soybean fields. As expected, the ExG vegetation indices changed according to different soybean growth stages, showing clear differences among the test plots with different cropping treatments in the early season of < 60 days after sowing (DAS). With the M-statistic method, the test plots under different treatments could be discriminated in the early seasons of <41 DAS, showing a value of M > 1. Conclusion: Therefore, multi-temporal images obtained with an UAV and a RGB camera could be applied for quantifying overall vegetation fractions and crop growth status, and this information could contribute to determine proper treatments for the vegetation fraction.

We obtained resonance field ($H_{res}$) and linewidth (${\Delta}H_{PP}$) from measured ferromagnetic resonance signal in the functions of polar angle (${\Theta}_H$) in Ni thin film of 240 nm thickness fabricated by electrodeposition method. The angular dependence of $H_{res}$ was well fitted with the calculated ones. We confirmed that the g-factor and effective demagnetization field were 2.18 and 445 emu/cc by the theoretical analysis of the resonance field, respectively. The angular dependence of ${\Delta}H_{PP}$ showed very large values at in-plane direction (${\Theta}_H=90^{\circ}$), which could not explained by the homogenous linewidth due to the Gilbert damping and inhomogeneous linewidth due to the angular variations and magnetization variations by the surface layer. Therefore, we considered the spin wave scattering (two magnon scattering) process in order to analyze the measured inhomogeneous linewidth, which was appeared in thicker film than the critical thickness of 50 nm. The defect medicated spin wave scattering played a key role in the electrodoposited Ni thin film of 240 nm thickness.

Compact power amplifier modules (PAM) for WCDMA/KPCS and GSM/WCDMA dual-band applications based on multilayer low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrates are presented in this paper. The proposed modules are composed of an InGaP/GaAs HBT PAs on top of the LTCC substrates and passive components such as RF chokes and capacitors which are embedded in the substrates. The overall size of the modules is less than 6mm $\times$ 6mm $\times$ 0.8mm. The measured result shows that the PAM delivers a power of 28 dBm with a power added efficiency (PAE) of more than 30 % at KPCS band. The adjacent-channel power ratio (ACPR) at 1.25-MHz and 2.25-MHz offset is -44dBc/30kHz and -60dBc/30kHz, respectively, at 28-dBm output power. Also, the PAM for WCDMA band exhibits an output power of 27 dBm and 32-dB gain at 1.95 GHz with a 3.4-V supply. The adjacent-channel leakage ratio (ACLR) at 5-MHz and 10-MHz offset is -37.5dBc/3.84MHz and -48dBc/3.84MHz, respectively. The measured result of the GSM PAM shows an output power of 33.4 dBm and a power gain of 30.4 dB at 900MHz with a 3.5V supply. The corresponding power added efficiency (PAE) is more than 52.6 %.

This paper represents 50 ㎓ narrow band pass filters for fiber optical communication fabricated by dual ion beam sputtering method. We have analyzed the characteristics of the TA$_2$ $O_{5}$ and $SiO_2$ single layers in order to optimize the process conditions for the 50 ㎓ narrow band pass filters, and controlled the film thickness uniformity to less than 0.1 nm deviation by dual peak spike filter pre-deposition. We designed and fabricated 50 ㎓ narrow band pass filters that consist of 216 layers including 4 cavities based on quarter wave optical thickness. Class substrates with high thermal expansion coefficients were used to reduce the film stress. Anti-reflection coating at the rear side of the substrate was also needed to reduce the optical thickness errors of the Optical Monitoring System caused by multiple beam interference between the front side and the rear side of substrate. The optical characteristics of this 50 ㎓ narrow band pass filters are insertion loss of 0.40 ㏈, pass band ripple of 0.20 ㏈, and pass bandwidth at -0.5 ㏈ of 0.20 nm. and isolation bandwidth at -25 ㏈ of 0.6 nm, which satisfy specifications of dense WDM system in fiber optical communications.tions.
