In this paper, the output power improvement of Push-Push FET DRO by adding the identical DR at the drain port as one used in the gate port, has been theoretically investigated. The investigation shows that the DR located between two microstrip lines locks the phase difference of two FET's outputs at 180 degree and improves the output power of Push-Push FET DRO. Since this effect can be used for correcting the impedance difference between two FETs output circuits and the electrical length error of the power combiner at the output circuit of Push-Push DRO, which may occur when fabricate the oscillator, the oscillator with an additional DR can be useful structure for fabricating oscillator.

A new edge detection operator superimposing two displaced Gaussian smoothing filters Is proposed as an approximate operator for the DroG(flrst derivative of Gaussian) known as a sub-op-timal step edge detector. The performance of the proposed edge detector Is very close to that of the DroG with the performance criteria . signal to noise ratio, locality, and multiple response. And the computational complexity can be reduced almost by a half of that of DroG, because of the use of common 2-D smoothing filter for DroG and LoG ( Laplacian of Gausslan) systems.

In this paper, a DRO (Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) with high stability in DSRC(Dedicated Short Range Communication) is designed and fabricated. The DRO shows the phase noise characteristic of -109.3 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset from the fundamental frequency. The output power of 11.53 dBm, and the second harmonic suppression of 55.33 dBc for the DRO are obtained. This DRO with high stability of the phase noise characteristic can be used for the system in DSRC.

In this paper, we present a Vt-DRO with a low phase noise, which is achieved by improving the coupling structure between the dielectric resonator and microstrip line. The Vt-DRO is a closed-loop type and is composed of 3 blocks; dielectric resonator, phase shifter, and amplifier. We propose a mathematical estimation method of phase noise, using the group delay of the resonator. By modifying the coupling structure between the dielectric resonator and microstrip line, we achieved a group delay of 53 nsec. For convenience of measurement, wafer probes were inserted at each stage to measure the S-parameters of each block. The measured S-parameter of the Vt-DRO satisfies the open-loop oscillation condition. The Vt-DRO was implemented by connecting the input and output of the designed open-loop to form a closed-loop. As a result, the phase noise of the Vt-DRO was measured as -132.7 dBc/Hz(@ 100 kHz offset frequency), which approximates the predicted result at the center frequency of 5.3 GHz. The tuning-range of the Vt-DRO is about 5 MHz for tuning voltage of 0~10 V and the power is 4.5 dBm. PFTN-FOM is -31 dBm.

In this paper, the output power level and phase noise property of nine conventional push-push FET DROs (Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) have been experimentally investigated by adding one more identical DR at the drain port. The nine oscillators designed to generate 20 GHz from 10 GHz fundamental frequency, have been tested for each of three different power combiners at the output port. It has been observed that the output power level of the push-push FET DROs can be improved by placing the DR while maintaining their phase noise characteristics were approximately the same as before adding the DR.

The push-push DRO(dielectric resonator oscillator) using a multi-layer structure of LTCC(low temperature co-fired ceramic) fabrication is designed. After the single DRO of series feedback type in the center frequency of 8GHz is designed, the push-push DRO in the center frequency of 16GHz including the Wilkinson power combiner is designed. The bias circuit affecting the size of oscillator are embedded in the intermediate layer of the LTCC multi-layer substrate. As a result, the large reduction in the size of VCO is obtained compared to the general oscillator on the single layer substrate. Experimental results show that the fundamental and third harmonics suppression are above 15dBc and 25dBc, respectively, and phase noise characteristics of the push-push DRO presents performance of -102dBc/Hz@100KHz and -128dBc/Hz@1MHz offset frequencies from carrier.

The drought risk has been increasing recently due to climate change causing the extreme climate to be more frequent. In order to supply agricultural water stably under drought, it is necessary to operate an agricultural reservoir in response to drought. To this end, it is crucial to establish appropriate drought response operation rules considering weather conditions and reservoir status. In the reservoir operation simulation, the supply amount differs from the actual reservoir supply for many reasons, including maintaining water levels for supply and accommodating farmers' requests. So, for a more realistic reservoir operation simulation, it is necessary to reflect the reservoir operation rules of the actual water management site. Therefore, in this study, through a survey, the standards for limitation of agricultural water supply applied to agricultural reservoirs in Korea were investigated, and the criteria for drought response reservoir operation (DRO) were established based on the survey. Then, the DRO was applied to the irrigation period for nine subject reservoirs. The applicability was evaluated by comparing the DRO result to the operation result of HOMWRS (Hydrological Operation Model for Water Resources System). The reservoir drought index, storage rate, and daily supply were compared for evaluation. From the result, DRO showed more stable operation results in most cases against drought as it has fewer days of water supply limitation and a somewhat reservoir storage rate which can be utilized for prolonged drought.

In this paper, we presented a Vt-DRO with a wide electrical frequency tuning range, using open-loop gain method. The Vt-DRO was composed of 3-stages, resonator, amplifier and phase shifter. In order to satisfy an oscillation condition, we determined magnitude and phase of each stage. The measured S-parameter of cascaded 3-stages shows open-loop oscillation condition. Also, using measured open loop group delay, we derived the relation for electrical frequency tuning range. The Vt-DRO was implemented by connecting the input and the output of the designed open-loop and resulted in closed-loop. As a results, tuning-range of Vt-DRO is 82 MHz, which is close to the predicted results for tuning voltage 0${\sim}$10 V and shows linear frequency tuning at the center frequency of 5.3 GHz. The phase noise is -104 ${\pm}$1 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequency and power is 5.86${\pm}$1 dBm respectively.
