In this paper, we propose a new channel identification technique for long code DS/CDMA DMB down link system which estimate the channel response based on the signal space vector only, unlike the most conventional subspace method relying on the orthogonal property of noise space vectors to the signal space vector. Because of this property of the proposed method, it is optimum and practical in manipulation of the covariance matrix to be analyzed. In the paper, we derive the mathematical expression necessary to clarify the proposed method and show the relevant simulation and numerical results to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm.

When multi-carriers are applied to the high power amplifier(HPA) having nonlinear characteristics, the HPA output has unwanted IMD signals. The IMD signal is noise in the HPA. The magnitude and phase of the main and IMD signal of HPA output are changed as the input signal power is changed. If we know exactly the magnitude and phase characteristics of the main and IMD signal, we can design a more adequate linearizer and understand the characteristics of transistor. In this paper the magnitude and phase of the main and IMD signal of HPA output are measured and analyzed for variation of the input power.

A fast correlative vector direction finding(CVDF) system using active dipole antenna array for mobile direction finding(DF) applications is presented. To develop the CVDF system, the main elements such as active dipole antenna, multi-channel direction finder, and search receiver are designed and analyzed. The active antenna is designed as composite structure to improve the filed strength sensitivity over the wide frequency range, and the multi-channel direction finder and search receiver are designed using DDS-based PLL with settling time of below 35 us to achieve short signal processing time. This system provides the capabilities of the high DF sensitivity over the wide frequency range and allows for high probability of intercept and accurate angle of arrival(AOA) estimation for agile signals. The design and performance analysis according to the external noise and modulation schemes of the CVDF system with five-element circular array are presented in detail.

A direct PM generator has the effect of reducing the mechanical noise and ease of maintenance by eliminating a number of power transmission components. In addition, wind turbines operating at low speed with the advantages of high output, high efficiency, and small size. The generator was designed as a small direct-drive PM generator that can be applied to a kite even at low wind speeds. The RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) of the reel was measured in two ways using a cadence/speedometer sensor and a tachometer while the actual kite. The RPM derived from the experiment was applied to the simulation on the designed generator. The no-load characteristic analysis for the magnetic fields produced for the permanent magnet generator by a permanent magnet and stator winding currents is achieved using a 2D coordinate system. A commercial electromagnetic analysis program, ANSYS Maxwell, was used to model the electromagnetic dynamics.

An existing infrared (IR) analysis system is generally composed of infrared source, IR focusing lenses, IR detector, and optical chopper. An optical chopper is widely used in combination with lock-in amplifier to improve the signal-to-noise ratio by periodically interrupting incident light beam. During recent years, a few researches on miniaturized optical chopper have been reported to apply to micro-scaled optical systems. In this paper, a micro optical chopper operated by electromagnetic actuation is proposed and applied to a miniaturized micro-scaled optical system operating in IR spectral range. Additionally, the fabrication method of the proposed micro chopper is demonstrated. The proposed micro optical chopper is composed of the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane, solenoid, and permanent magnet. The permanent magnet is bonded on the PDMS membrane using an ultraviolet-activated adhesive. The operation of the chopper is based on the attractive and repulsive forces between permanent magnet and solenoid induced by an electrical current flowing through the solenoid. The fabricated micro optical chopper could operate up to 200 Hz of frequency. The maximum operating distance of the chopper with 7mm diameter membrane was $750{\mu}m$ at 100 Hz of frequency.

Dual electromagnetic sensor is used for sensing the weld line. The sensor consists of excitation and two sensing coil wound over the ferro-magnetic core. By using the dual sensor, the effect of noise is minimized. It is based on the generation of eddy currents in the welding plate by passing current through the excitation coil. The sensor can be used to track the butt joints having no gap between them, where a vision based sensor fails to track. Sensor sensitivity depends on the number of coil turns, frequency of excitation, distance of a sensor from the work piece, diameter of core, etc. The whole system consists of a sensor, a signal processing board, a motion controller and a personnel computer (PC). The raw sensor signal is processed using the signal processing board. It consists of amplification, rectification, filtering, averaging, offset adjustment, etc. Based on sensor data, the motion controller adjusts the position of a welding torch.

In this paper, subharmonically injection locked oscillator(SILO) was designed and measured. SILO with series feedback was designed using Two Signal Method(TSM). The free-running oscillator frequency was 9.4 GHz with 6 dBm output power. In case of injection, the multiplied injected signal locked the free-running frequency. The locked signal output power was higher than any other spurious response at least 40 dB. The locking range was 220MHz (second subharmonic locking), 100 MHz(4th subharmonic locking), and phase noise was -111 dBc/Hz, -104 dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset, respectively.

A technique to obtain an exact frequency characteristics of desired targets in radar measurements is presented. The pulsing network composed of two RF switches was installed between the Network Analyzer and the antenna, and the backscattering from a metal sphere was measured at X-band. It is shown that the pulsing effectively eliminated undesired returns from antenna and other circuitry of the systems. The antenna return was suppressed by more than 60 dB, and the signal-to-noise ratio was improved drastically. The pulsed frequency data were processed to extract the responses of the desired target. The result agrees well with the theoretical backscattering characteristics of the sphere. The methods presented here are applicable to RCS measurements in compact ranges, and also to the backscattering measurements of distributed targets outdoors.

A design of 2 stage S-DLVA(successive detector log video amplifier) was studied to detect wide dynamic radar pulse ranging from -70 ㏈m to 0㏈m. A basic design idea was focused on the linear detection in logarithmic scale of wide dynamic range radar pulses from nosie-like weak power of -70 ㏈m to relatively high power 0 ㏈m. It is highly formidable, since it requires high speed detection less than 10 nsec over the operating frequency ranges from 6 to 18 ㎓. A limiter diode, a tunnel diode and an L17-C were used as a protecting device, a detector diode and a log video amplifier in companion as a single stage detector to give voltage output proportional to the input power of about 35 ㏈ dynamic range. A protype of 2-stage DLVA having one more single stage detector was fabricated with a 32 ㏈ low noise amplifier and a 3 ㏈ hybrid coupler to provide total 70 ㏈ dynamic range detection. The logging characteristics were measured to have log slope of 25m.V/㏈ against 70 ㏈ logging range from -55 ㏈m to +15 ㏈m, the log linearity of within +/- 1.5 ㏈, and tangential sensitivity was at -63 ㏈m. The pulse dynamics of rise time and recovery time were measured as 50 nsec and 1.2 $\mu$sec, respectively. The reason might be due to the parasitic capacitances of packaged limiter, tunnel diode, and L17-C.
