In this study, using a periodical ground structure(PGS) on GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuit(MMIC), transmission line with a high isolation characteristic was developed for application to compact signal/bias lines of highly integrated MMIC. And the origin of the high isolation characteristic was theoretically investigated. The high isolation characteristic was originated from a resonance between adjacent microstrip lines employing PGS. With only a spacing of $20{\mu}m$, the coupled microstrip line employing PGS showed an isolation value of -47 dB at 60 GHz. The frequency range for high isolation was easily controlled by changing the PGS structure. Above results indicate that microstrip lines employing PGS are very useful for application to compact signal/bias lines of highly integrated MMIC requiring a high isolation characteristics between lines. In addition, equivalent circuit employing closed-form equation for the coupled line with PGS was also extracted.

This study proposes an intelligent semi-active isolation system combining a variable-stiffness control device and ground motion characteristic prediction. To determine the optimal control parameter in real-time, a genetic algorithm (GA)-fuzzy control law was developed in this study. Data on various types of ground motions were collected, and the ground motion characteristics were quantified to derive a near-fault (NF) characteristic ratio by employing an on-site earthquake early warning system. On the basis of the peak ground acceleration (PGA) and the derived NF ratio, a fuzzy inference system (FIS) was developed. The control parameters were optimized using a GA. To support continuity under near-fault and far-field ground motions, the optimal control parameter was linked with the predicted PGA and NF ratio through the FIS. The GA-fuzzy law was then compared with other control laws to verify its effectiveness. The results revealed that the GA-fuzzy control law could reliably predict different ground motion characteristics for real-time control because of the high sensitivity of its control parameter to the ground motion characteristics. Even under near-fault and far-field ground motions, the GA-fuzzy control law outperformed the FPEEA control law in terms of controlling the isolation layer displacement and the superstructure acceleration.

Viscous fluid damper is used for vibration isolation of piping system, presses, turbo-generator and other heavy industrial equipments, as well as seismic isolation of buildings structure. So dynamic characteristic of viscous fluid damper is very important. This paper presents the result of the study of dynamic characteristic of viscous fluid damper. And the force-displacement relation of the viscous damper is described by experimentally calibrated fractional derivative Maxwell Model. The proposed model is validated by dynamic testing and A good agreement between predicted and experimental results is obtained.

This paper proposes a method for improving the isolation characteristic of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antennas using a split ring resonator (SRR) array structure between the two radiating elements. The fabricated antenna satisfies the 10 dB return loss requirement in the Mobile-WiMAX frequency band from 3.4 GHz to 3.6 GHz. The isolation between the two radiating elements is improved by approximately 20 dB at the center frequency by inserting a SRR array structure. The measured peak gains of the two elements are 2.3 dBi and 2.4 dBi, respectively.

In this paper, a sub-harmonic dual-gate FET mixer is suggested to improve the isolation characteristic between LO and RF ports of an unbalanced mixer. The mixer was designed by using single-gate FET cascode structure and driven by the second harmonic component of LO signal. A dual-gate FET mixer has good isolation characteristic since RF and LO signals are injected into gatel and gate2, respectively. In addition, the isolation characteristic of a sub-harmonic mixer is better than that of a fundamental mixer due to the large frequency separation between the LO and RF frequencies. As RF power was -30 ㏈m and LO power was 0 ㏈m, the designed mixer yielded the -47.17 ㏈m LO-to-RF leakage power level, 10 ㏈ conversion gain, -2.5 ㏈m OIP3, -12.5 ㏈m IIP3 and -1 ㏈m 1 ㏈ gain compression point. Since the LO-to-RF leakage power level of the designed mixer is as good as that of a double-balanced mixer, the sub-harmonic dual-gate FET mixer can be utilized instead.

To obtain the seismic response of lead-cored rubber, shape memory alloy (SMA)-rubber isolation Plate-shell Integrated Concrete Liquid-Storage Structure (PSICLSS), based on a PSICLSS in a water treatment plant, built a scale experimental model, and a shaking table test was conducted. Discussed the seismic responses of rubber isolation, SMA-rubber isolation PSICLSS. Combined with numerical model analysis, the vibration characteristics of rubber isolation PSICLSS are studied. The results showed that the acceleration, liquid sloshing height, hydrodynamic pressure of rubber and SMA-rubber isolation PSICLSS are amplified when the frequency of seismic excitation is close to the main frequency of the isolation PSICLSS. The earthquake causes a significant leakage of liquid, at the same time, the external liquid sloshing height is significantly higher than internal liquid sloshing height. Numerical analysis showed that the low-frequency acceleration excitation causes a more significant dynamic response of PSICLSS. The sinusoidal excitation with first-order sloshing frequency of internal liquid causes a more significant sloshing height of the internal liquid, but has little effect on the structural principal stresses. The sinusoidal excitation with first-order sloshing frequency of external liquid causes the most enormous structural principal stress, and a more significant external liquid sloshing height. In particular, the principal stress of PSICLSSS with long isolation period will be significantly enlarged. Therefore, the stiffness of the isolation layer should be properly adjusted in the design of rubber and SMA-rubber isolation PSICLSS.

Characteristic parameter values of seismic isolators deviate from their nominal design values due to uncertainties and/or errors in their material properties and element dimensions, etc. Deviations may increase over service life due to environmental effects and service conditions. For accurate evaluation of the seismic safety level, all such effects, which would result in deviations in the structural response, need to be taken into account. In this study, the sensitivity of the probability of failure of the structures equipped with nonlinear base isolation systems to the uncertainties in various isolation system characteristic parameters is investigated in terms of various isolation system and superstructure response parameters in the context of a realistic three-dimensional base-isolated building model via Monte Carlo Simulations. The inherent record-to-record variability nature of the earthquake ground motions is also taken into account by carrying out analyses for a large number of ground motion records which are classified as those with and without forward-directivity effects. Two levels of nominal isolation periods each with three different levels of uncertainty are considered. Comparative plots of cumulative distribution functions and related statistical evaluation presented here portray the potential extent of the deviation of the structural response parameters resulting from the uncertainties and the uncertainty levels considered, which is expected to be useful for practicing engineers in evaluating isolator test results for their projects.

본 논문은 Main 안테나와 LTE 대역을 커버하는 Sub 안테나로 구성되어 있는 휴대단말기의 접지면에 스터브를 삽입하여 격리 특성을 향상시킬 수 있는 설계법을 제안한다. 제안된 안테나의 공진 길이를 보상하고 높은 격리 특성을 실현하기 위해, 한 쌍의 스터브가 전류가 수렴되는 접지면 위에 삽입되었다. LTE class 13 대역에서 스터브가 없는 안테나의 모의 실험된 격리 특성은 약 -5 dB였으나, 두 개의 스터브를 가진 제안된 안테나의 격리 특성은 LTE class 13의 uplink(777~787 MHz)와 downlink(746~756 MHz)에서 약 -12 dB와 약 -15 dB의 높은 격리 특성을 나타냈다. 제작된 두 개의 스터브를 가진 안테나의 평균 이득은 약 -2 dBi 이상으로 상업용 휴대단말기에 요구되는 -4 dBi보다 좋은 결과를 보였다. 측정된 산란 파라미터 특성과 방사 패턴은 모의 실험결과와 합리적인 일치를 보였다.

In this paper, four-element MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Output) antenna operating at 5.2GHz and 5.8GHz is proposed. Each antenna element is fabricated by using inverted-L type and the isolation characteristic among antenna elements is adjusted by the distance between radiation element and ground. The designed array antenna has the impedance bandwidth at 5.15$\sim$5.35 and 5.725$\sim$5.825GHz for VSWR$\leq$3 and the isolation characteristic less than -20dB at same frequency.
