On 10 July 2014, tornado outbreak occurred over Goyang province in Korea. This was the first supercell tornado ever reported or documented in Korea. The characteristics of the supercell tornado were investigated using an X-band polarimetric radar, surface meteorological observation, wind profiler, and operational numerical weather prediction (Regional Data Assimilation and Prediction System, RDAPS). The supercell tornado developed along a preexisting dryline that was contributed to surface wind shear. The radar analyses examined here show that the supercell tornado indicated a hook echo with mesocyclone. The decending reflectivity core as well was detected before tornadogenesis and prior to intensification of supercell. The supercell tornado exhibited characteristics similar to typical supercell tornado over the Great Plains of the United States, such as hook echo, bounded weak echo region, and slower movement speed relative to the mean wind. Compared to the typical supercell tornado over U.S., this tornado showed horizontal scale of the mesocyclone was relatively smaller and left-mover.

A compact planar microstrip-fed ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with a dual band-notched for UWB application is presented and analyzed. By inserting a U-shaped slot and inverted U-shaped slot into the pot-shaped radiator, two notched bands are achieved. By optimizing the width and length of the U-shaped slots and inverted U-shaped slot, a desired bandwidth of voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) less than 2.0 can be achieved, ranging from UWB bands with notched dual bands. The proposed antenna is fabricated on an inexpensive FR-4 substrate with overall dimensions of $28.0mm{\times}39.5mm$. The measured results confirm that the proposed antenna covers from 1.775 to over 13.075 GHz with two rejection bands of around 3.325-3.925 GHz and 5.3125-6.025 GHz. In addition, the proposed antenna showed good radiation characteristics and gains in the UWB bands.

Multilayer LTCC technology enables RF modules to be reduced dramatically by taking advantage of the three dimension flexibility. Compared to a conventional two dimensional PCB, LTCC allows higher density, reduced size, and lower cost. In this research, BPF based on LTCC for 900MHz ZigBee application was implemented which can replace SAW filter with using the material of the Dupont9599's dielectric constant 7.8. And distributed baud pass filter for 900MHz ZigBee system applications is presented. Using resonator stripline and capacitance, 2nd order band pass filter was designed. Adjusting resonator's length and capacitance is easy to tune at accurate center frequency by shifting band because ZigBee system is using narrow bandwidth, $902MHz^{\sim}928MHz$. Also resonator has no limitation in space, so reducing size is possibile. Designed filter had I.L. 2.8dB at 915MHz and attenuation at 815MHz, 1015MHz was 16dB, 15dB, respectively. Therefore, the sharpe cut-off and good insertion loss for ZigBee system application.

Ubiquitous application is in need of high-level technology to meet various requests for ubiquitous service. In order to adopt ubiquitous technology in not only pilot projects but also regional services, many projects like u-City are implemented in and outside the country. RFID has been known as one of the important technology to provide with core benefits of Ubiquitous services. Because each band of RFID technology has merits and demerits concurrently, single-band RFID system has limitations for various RFID services. Thus, we developed dual-band RFID system enable to provide with 13.56MHz and 2.45GHz RFID service at the same time to compensate the shortage of single-band RFID system. Also we have considered the way that the firmware would control signals without collision, studied battery life and range for tag, and made hardware for dual-band RFID service.

For next generation global navigation satellite systems, new carrier frequencies in Ku/V band are expected to emerge as a promising alternative to the current frequency windows in L band as they get severely congestive. In the case of higher frequency bands, signal attenuation phenomenon through the atmosphere is significantly different from the L band signal propagation. In this paper, a fundamental investigation is carried out to explore the Ku/V band as a candidate frequency band for a new global satellite navigation carrier signal, wherein specific attention is given to the effects of the dominant attenuation factors through the tropospheric propagation path. For a specific application, a candidate orbit preliminarily designed for the Korean regional satellite navigation system is adapted. Simulation results summarize that the Ku band can provide a promising satellite navigation implementation considering the present satellite's power budget, while the V band still requires technical advances in satellite transceiver system implementations.

There have been many advances in endoscopic imaging technologies. Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging is an innovative optical technology that enables the precise discrimination of structural changes on the mucosal surface. Several studies have demonstrated its usefulness and superiority for tumor detection and differential diagnosis in the stomach as compared with conventional endoscopy. Furthermore, magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging has the potential to predict the invasion depth and tumor margins during gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection. Classifications of the findings of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging based on microvascular and pit patterns have been proposed and have shown excellent correlations with invasion depth confirmed by microscopy. In terms of tumor margin prediction, magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging offers superior delineation of gastric tumor margins compared with traditional chromoendoscopy with indigo carmine. The limitations of narrow-band imaging, such as the need for considerable training, long procedure time, and lack of studies about its usefulness in undifferentiated cancer, should be resolved to confirm its value as a complementary method to endoscopic submucosal dissection. However, the role of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging is expected to increase steadily with the increasing use of endoscopic submucosal dissection for the treatment of gastric tumors.

고해상도의 시공간 분해능을 갖는 레이더 추정강우는 특히 강우계가 설치되어 있지 않은 지역에서 수문학적 활용에 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있으나, 레이더 관측자료는 기본적으로 많은 오차 요소를 포함하고 있다. 이러한 이유로 레이더 자료를 특정한 목적에 활용하기 위해서는 그 목적에 적합한 자료의 평가가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 레이더 추정강우의 수문학적 활용을 위한 정성적, 정량적 정확도 평가 방법 및 절차를 제안하고자 한다. 제안한 방법의 적용을 위해 진도(S-band) 및 관악산(C-band) 레이더와 자동기상관측장비시스템(Automatic Weather Stations, AWS)내 강우계의 자료를 이용하였으며, 대표적인 두 호우사상에 대한 적용성을 검토하였다. 연구 결과, 관측누적시간이 증가할수록 레이더 추정강우의 정확도가 증가하고, 레이더 사이트의 관측반경이 짧을수록 레이더 추정강우의 정확도가 향상되는 것을 파악할 수 있었으며, 특히 C-band 레이더의 경우 그 경향이 더 명확하게 나타났다. 또한 강우계 관측망의 밀도에 따른 평균편이 표본오차를 조사하기 위해 Monte Carlo 모의실험을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 강우계 밀도의 감소에 따라 편이오차가 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이를 통해 강우계 관측망의 밀도가 레이더 강우추정의 정확도에 중요한 영향을 미치는 인자중에 하나라는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 실시간 편차 보정기법은 현재의 국내 레이더의 수문학적 활용을 위해 필요한 과정이라 판단된다.

Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology is gaining increasing interest for its potential application to short-range indoor wireless communications. Utilizing ultra-short pulses, UWB baseband transmissions enable rich multipath diversity, and can be demodulated with low complexity receivers. Compliance with the FCC spectral mask, and interference avoidance to, and from, co-existing narrow-band services, calls for judicious design of UWB pulse shapers. This paper introduces pulse shaper designs for UWB radios, which optimally utilize the bandwidth and power allowed by the FCC spectral mask. The resulting baseband UWB systems can be either single-band, or, multi-band. More important, the novel pulse shapers can support dynamic avoidance of narrow-band interference, as well as efficient implementation of fast frequency hopping, without invoking analog carriers.

We numerically investigate the electronic band structure of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) under radial corrugation. Hydrostatic pressure application to CNTs leads to a circumferential wave-like deformation of their initially circular cross-sections, called radial corrugations. Tight-binding calculation was performed to determine the band gap energy as a function of the amplitude of the radial corrugation. We found that the band gap increased with increasing radial corrugation amplitude; then, the gap started to decline at a critical amplitude and finally vanished. This non-monotonic gap variation indicated the metal-semiconductor-metal transition of CNTs with increasing corrugation amplitude. Our results provide a better insight into the structure-property relation of CNTs, thus advancing the CNT-based device development.
