  • The effect of the sub-optimal beam-forming and the fading channel correlation on the closed loop transmit antenna diversity(CTD) system is investigated in frequency flat Rayleigh fading channels. The fast channel fading prevents the perfect channel estimation at a mobile station, hence the imperfect weight is applied to the antenna branch of transmitter. The weight causes sub-optimalbeam-forming and aggravates the performance of CTD system. The fading correlation or a wireless channel also is one of the factors decreasing the diversity gain. A bit error rate expression for the CTD system is analytically derived as a function of the channel estimation error, the channel correlation coefficient the feedback delay, and fading index. It is shown that the channel estimation error gives more severe effect to the system performance than the channel correlation.

  • An combined implicit/explicit scheme for the analysis of sheet forming problems has been proposed in this work. In finite element simulation of sheet metal forming processes, the robustness and stability of computation are important requirements since the computation time and convergency become major points of consideration besides the solution accuracy due to the complexity of geometry and boundary conditions. The implicit scheme dmploys a more reliable and rigorous scheme in considering the equilibrium at each step of deformation, while in the explict scheme the problem of convergency is elimented at thecost of solution accuracy. The explicit approach and the implicit approach have merits and demerits, respectively. In order to combine the merits of these two methods a step-wise combined implici/explicit scheme has been developed. In the present work, the rigid-plastic finite element method using bending energy augmented membraneelements(BEAM)(1) is employed for computation. Computations are carried out for some typical sheet forming examples by implicit, combined implicit/explicit schemes including deep drawing of an oil pan, front fender and fuel tank. From the comparison between the methods the advantages and disadvantages of the methods are discussed.

  • Laser forming is an advanced process in sheet metal forming in which thermal stress originated from the laser heat source is used to shape the metal sheet. However, substantial waiting time is normally necessary for the workpiece to cool down between consecutive scans so that a steep temperature gradient can be reestablished in the next scan. In order to solve this drawback, laser bending characteristics are experimentally implemented in underwater condition. Laser forming effects under various conditions, including different laser power, scanning velocity, beam diameter, number of passes and material, are investigated. The results show that the underwater laser forming facilitates deliberate forming. The bending angle per respective laser scan is decreased with increasing the number of passes and scanning velocity.

  • Novel coupled line phase shifters and its equivalent phase delay line for compact broadband phased array antennas are proposed. These phase control circuits are designed to be less complex, small size and to use a less number of active devices. The phase shifter is able to control a 120$^{\circ}$ phase shift continuously, and the phase delay line for a reference phase has a fixed 60$^{\circ}$ shifted phase. Both have the low phase error of less than $\pm$3.5$^{\circ}$ and the low gain variations of less than 1 ㏈ within the 300 MHz bandwidth. These proposed circuits are adequate to form the efficient beam-forming networks with compactness, broadband, less complexity, and low cost.

  • This paper consider the problem of direction of arrival(DOA) estimation in the presence of multipath propagation. The sensor elements are assumed to be linear and uniformly spaced. Numerous authors have advocated the use of a beamforming preprocessor to facilitate application of high resolution direction finding algorithms The benefits cited include reduced computation, improved performance in environments that include spatially colored noise, and enhanced resolution. Performance benefits typically have been demonstrated via specific example. The purpose of this paper is to provide an analysis of a beamspace version of the MUSIC algorithm applicable to two closely spaced emitters in diverse scenarios. Specifically, the analysis is applicable to uncorrelated far field emitters of any relative power level, confined to a known plane, and observed by an arbitrary array of directional antenna. In this paper, we researched about optimize beam forming to smart antenna system. The covariance matrix obtained using fourth order cumulant function. Simulations illustrate the performance of the techniques.

  • The general method and mechanism for the polarity control of heteroepitaxial wurtzite films, such as ZnO and GaN, by interface engineering via plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy are addressed. We proposed the principle and method controlling the crystal polarity of ZnO on GaN and GaN on ZnO. The crystal polarity of the lower film was maintained by forming a heterointerfce without any interface layer between the upper and the lower layers. However the crystal polarity could be changed by forming the heterointerface with the interface layer having an inversion center. The principle and method suggested here give us a promising tool to fabricate polarity inverted heterostructures, which applicable to invent novel heterostructures and devices.

  • This paper proposes the acquisition system using the multiple antennas in DS-CDMA system. The conventional acquisition schemes using multiple antennas are the methods to utilize the multi-antenna combining and the fixed multi-beam forming of a serial acquisition. Then, this paper proposes the hybrid acquisition scheme using the fixed multi-beam forming. The numerical results show the performance comparison of two acquisition schemes in terms of the acquisition time ill the multipath Rayleigh fading channel.

  • The composition of convergence cross-section of the material is a technique that provides reasonable design and construction of structures. It is frequently used in medium-sized bridges and architectural structures. However, the structural behavioral spare capacity enhancement of the structure by the application of the convergence cross-section is still limited by the expandability due to the limiting state of each material. In order to overcome these limitations, this study reasonably analyzed the construction stages before and after the convergence cross-section constructed and developed a technique for forming multi-point boundary conditions using struts, which are compression members. Based on the existing cases, a reasonable construction step for forming the material composite section of the entire structural system of the structure was derived, and a numerical analysis model for a specific part was constructed to analyze the behavior of the strut application. As a result of this study, the effect of reducing the sectional force of 7.40% in beam-column joint and 6.31% in the center of girder was derived, and the deflection, which is a measure of the serviceability of the structure, improved by 54.41% from the installation and dismantling of strut members at each construction stage.
