HRR(High Resolution Range) profiles show one-dimensional radar images including electromagnetic scattering phenomena of a target. Thus, they are not only robust to noise, but also easily obtainable in a real-time. However, in order to construct a training database for the success of radar target identification, a huge amount of HRR profiles are needed because HRR profiles are highly dependent on the relative angle between the radar and the target. In order to alleviate this difficulty, a database construction method based on the scenarios of target's movement is proposed. The proposed method is able to provide a reliable target identification performance even with a small amount of training database.

Data transfer rate and storage capacity are main criteria of the performance of the optical disk drive. The highest data transfer rate and the largest storage capacity is most desirable. To increase these performances, the actuator of the optical disk drive should have a high servo bandwidth to compensate the vibration of an optical disk. The servo bandwidth is limited by some flexible modes of the actuator, thus it is essential to increase the natural frequencies of the flexible modes. In this paper, we suggested a moving magnet type actuator having high frequencies of the flexible modes. Generally, the moving magnet type actuator has an advantage to increase the natural frequencies of the flexible modes because the moving magnet type actuator has simple structure and the Young's modulus of magnet is high. However, large moving mass and inefficiency of EM(electromagnetic) circuit cut down driving sensitivities of the actuator. To improve driving sensitivities, we designed the model with the closed electromagnetic circuit for tracking direction. In addition, driving sensitivities and the natural frequencies of the flexible modes were improved by using DOE(design of experiments) for electromagnetic circuit and modifying the lens holder.

Shear horizontal (SH) waves propagate as a type of plate wave in a thin sheet. The dispersion characteristics of SH waves can be used for signal analysis. Therefore, SH-waves are useful for monitoring the structural health of a thin-sheet-structure. An electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT), which is a non-contact ultrasonic transducer, can generate SH-waves easily by varying the shape and array of magnets and coils. Therefore, an EMAT can be applied to an automated ultrasonic testing system for structural health monitoring. When used as a sensor, however, the EMAT has a weakness in that electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise can occur easily in the automated system because of motors and electric devices. Alternatively, a fiber optic sensor works well in the same environment with EMI noise because it uses a light signal instead of an electric signal. In this paper, a fiber Fabry-P$\acute{e}$rot interferometer (FFPI) was proposed as a sensor to receive the SH-waves generated by an EMAT. A simple test was performed to verify the performance of the FFPI sensor. It is thus shown that the FFPI can receive SH-wave signals clearly.

This paper is to develop an electromagnetic wave-based sensor that can measure the spatial distribution of precipitation, and to a electromagnetic wave rain gauge (hereinafter, "EWRG") capable of simultaneously measuring rainfall, snowfall, and wind field, which are the core of heavy rain observation. Through this study, the LFM transmission and reception signals were theoretically analyzed. In addition, In order to develop a radar transceiver, LFM transceiver design and simulation were conducted. In this paper, we developed a K-BAND pulse-driven 6W SSPA(Solid State Power Amplifiers) transceiver using a small HMIC(Hybrid Microwave Integrated Circuit). It has more than 6W of output power and less than 5dB of receiving NF(Noise Figure) with short duty of 1% in high temperature environment of 65 degrees. The manufactured module emits LFM and Square Pulse waveform with the built-in waveform generator, and the receiver has more than 40dB of gain. The transceiver developed in this paper can be applied to the other small weather radar.

In this paper, the proposed method is a denoising technology by tangent curve interpolation of zero points. The problem of the hard threshold method is improved by the proposed method. The quantity of time fluctuation of the electromagnetic signal as the quantity of electric fluctuation of the natural world or the curve of motion waveform of the fast movement of human extracted using virtual reality is, in fact, complex. Therefore it is important to decide exactly the signal properties as the inflection point for observation signal. In particular, it is necessary to extract the properties after denoising, since the measurement signal of the natural world include some noises. It shows that the noise of the inflection point signal with noise II, noise factor 5, is eliminated by the proposed method, and the result of SNR for the signal is improved 3.4dB than that by the conventional hard threshold.

This paper presents the performance measurement results of a hybrid sheet with both shielding and heat dissipation functions developed by laminating copper mesh sheets and natural graphite sheets, which are used widely as electromagnetic shielding and heat-dissipating materials in electronic devices, without a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). The results were compared by measuring the vertical and horizontal thermal conductivity with two other products to confirm the heat dissipation performance. A radiation emission test confirmed the electromagnetic shielding performance using a 3m electromagnetic anechoic chamber according to the CISPR 11 standard. In the case of vertical thermal conductivity, the proposed hybrid sheet was approximately 8.63 times higher than that of an aluminum sheet with heat dissipation coating and 18.7 times higher than that of a copper sheet laminated with artificial graphite with PSA. The proposed hybrid sheet was approximately 0.64 times that of the sheet, and approximately 1.76 times that of the heat-dissipated aluminum sheet in case of horizontal thermal conductivity. Measurements after applying each sheet in the same heat source revealed the proposed hybrid sheet to have the best heat dissipation performance. The radiation emission test showed that significantly radiation noise had been removed.

In this paper, we studied about the radiated emission of EFT(Electrical Fast Transient)/Burst signal, referenced IEC-61000-4-4 of the international EMC standard and its effect on EUT(Equipment Under the Test) when EFT/Burst signal (Conducted noise) induced on a power cable to EUT. Firstly, we set up test sample by the standard and +4 kV standard signal is induced by EFT/Burst signal generator with 1 m length power cable for 1 minute. Consequently, we found not only induced EFT/Burst signal along power line, but also directly radiated emission signal from EFT/Burst signal generator (Radiated emission noise of EFT/Burst). The radiated emission signal of EFT/Burst was 30 dB which is higher than limit of CISPR 22 which is international EMC standard. Moreover, we measured the electric field strength by changing distance from maximum radiated emission point to electric field strength tester. As a result, this electric field strength was 23 V/m which is higher than international EMC standard test level(CISPR 24). Therefore, it was confirmed that the probability of malfunction may be high when radiated emission of EFT/Burst noise exists near the EUT.

In this paper, we have proposed and experimentally performed a polarization and phase control method of an optical signal which has same wavelength with the optical carrier to improve phase characteristics of a continuous wave(CW) generated by the double sideband-suppressed carrier(DSB-SC) as one of the famous photomixing technique for making sub-millimeter and terahertz waves. A polarization and phase controlled optical signal has been coupled with the general DSB-SC on an optical coupler. The output of the optical coupler is then photomixed by a photomixer. From our analysis and measurement results, we have found that the amplitude of the generated sub-mm and terahertz CW signal is higher 1.5 dB and the phase noise is lower about 3 dB@10 kHz offset frequency than the general DSBSC. Consequently, since our proposed method has improved the amplitude and phase noise of CW signals in the sub-mm and terahertz bands, it can be helpful results to make low cost CW generator in sub-millimeter and subterahertz bands.

This paper studies a method for reducing performance degradation due to losing sub-carrier orthogonality caused by power transient between physical channels in LTE uplink transmission. The pattern of inter-carrier interference(ICI) caused by power transient is different from what has been studied for doppler shift, in that its pattern occurs at front and rear sides of channels in each period of power transient. The reason of ICI's occurrence results from power difference between channels, power transient duration, multi-path channel delay spread, and numbers of sub-carrier. New criterion is proposed to find out number of taps of multi-tap equalizer enough to improve the ICI. The scheme is to determine the number of taps of multi-tap equalizer when a normalized interference or a normalized ICI is greater than a normalized noise. Simulation results show that the number of taps is flexibly adjusted according to SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) of a received signal to improve Bit Error Rate(BER), while the complexity of the proposed scheme is reduced down to 88 percentage of the classical method.

We herein present the design and fabrication of a Rx core chip operating in the X-band (10.5~13 GHz) using Win's commercial $0.25-{\mu}m$ GaAs pHEMT process technology. The X-band core chip comprises a low-noise amplifier, a four-bit phase shifter, and a serial-to-parallel data converter. The size is $1.75mm{\times}1.75mm$, which is the state-of-the-art size. The gain and noise figure are more than 10 dB but less than 2 dB, and both the input and output return losses are less than 10 dB. The RMS phase error is less than $5^{\circ}$, and the P1dB is 2 dBm at 12.5 GHz, the performance of which is equivalent to other GaAs core chips. The fabricated core chip was packaged in a QFN package type with a size of $3mm{\times}3mm$ for the convenience of assembly. We confirmed that the performance of the packaged core chip was almost the same as that of the chip itself.
