This paper presents some practical design issues that should be carefully considered when a notch filter is included in a linear feedback controller. A notch filter is generally used to compensate the effects of resonant modes that may result in poor performance. It is very common that the practical engineers prefer to add such a notch filter after having previously designed a feedback controller without the filter. It is known that the resulting performance by this approach is not seriously different from when a feedback controller is designed for a plant previously compensated by a notch filter. However, we will point out that there are some cases where both approaches have different performances. In order to show this, a low-order controller design using the partial model matching method has been applied to a linear time invariant (L Tn model. The results suggest that there is a tendency to achieve much better time responses in terms of reducing the overshoot and shortening the settling time, and in the frequency domain characteristics such as the sensitivity function and the stability margins when the design of a feedback controller after including a notch filter is carried out.

This study was conducted to develop an non-contact ultrasonic transducer for measurement of fruit firmness. The center frequency of non-contact ultrasonic transducer was 500 kHz. As an active element of non-contact ultrasonic transducer, the 1-3 piezoelectric composite material was selected. That material has high piezoelectric properties such as electro-mechanical coupling factor, $k_t$ and piezoelectric voltage constant, $d_{33}$ and also that material has low acoustical impedance which enables to matching the acoustical impedances between piezoelectric material and air. As a front matching material between 1-3 piezoelectric composite material and air, various kinds of paper with different thickness were tested. To control the dead-zone of the fabricated non-contact ultrasonic transducer, the backing material composed of epoxy resin and tungsten powder were made and evaluated. The fabricated non-contact ultrasonic transducer for fruit showed that the cneter frequency, bandwidth and beamwidth were approximately 480 kHz, 30 % and 12 mm, respectively. It was concluded that non-contact measurement of apple firmness would be possible by using the fabricated non-contact ultrasonic transducer.

We performed case-control study to evaluate relationship between food intake and risk of breast cancer. We interviewed breast cancer cases(n=108) who were newly histologically identified and selected from Hanyang and Soonchunhyang University Hospital in Seoul. We used hospital-based control subjects(n=121), who were selected from the patients in the department of plastic surgery, general surgery and opthalmology of the same hospital by frequency matching. Matching variables were age($\pm$4 age) and menopausal status. We collected information on general characteristics of subjects, history of disease, family history of breast cancer, vitamin supplementation, alcohol intake, and food intake through individual interview. Dietary information was ascertained via a food frequency questionnaire method(total item=98). All analyses was conducted according to menopausal status. Especially, pepper and grape intake in premenopausal women, showed protective effect in breast cancer. Otherwise consumption of meat, pork, and fish was not associated with breast cancer risk in this study. At milk and dairy products, milk intake was associated with lower risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women and overall intake of soy products was associated with breast cancer risk, but not significant. These findings suggested that consumption of some fruit and vegetable intake was a protective factor on breast cancer and further study with more number of subjects should be need to evaluate the breast cancer risk.

본 논문에서는 디지털 위성방송 지상 리피터에 적용하고자 고 이득 저 잡음특성을 갖는 소형 채널증폭기를 설계하였다. 채널증폭기를 설계함에 있어서 각각의 증폭 단에서의 잡음지수와 이득 및 안정도를 서로 절충하여 최적화 시켰다. 채널증폭기는 첫째 단에서 저 잡음특성을 나타내도록 임피던스를 정합시켰으며 둘째 단 이상에서는 균일한 이득과 고 안정 동작상태를 유지하고 최종 출력 단에서 고 이득특성을 나타내었다. 설계된 6단의 고 이득 저잡음특성을 나타내는 채널증폭기에 대하여 디지털 위성방송 지상주파수 11.7GHz∼12.7GHz의 대역에서 실험한 결과 68dB의 증폭이득과 2.4dB의 잡음지수를 나타내었으며 63dB의 동작범위를 나타내어 위성방송 지상리피터용 채널증폭기에 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the design method of a Colpitts type oscillator with coplanar waveguide(CPW) structures in the range of Ka-band frequency for transmitter and receiver modules. Series short stubs of CPW patterns provide inductances and capacitances in the range of Ka-band which can be expressed as a CLC-$\pi$ equivalent circuit. The experimentation has employed ro4003 substrates as a CPW substrate which has a dielectric constant of 3.38 and a signal and ground space of 100um. A method of momentum simulation for the CPW patterns has performed with an ADS software tool of Hewlett-Packard Corp. Inductance and capacitance circuits of a Colpitts oscillator was interconnected to a MESFET with CPW bend structures of including the input and output impedance matching circuits of the active transistor. Circuit parameters for impedance matching were determined through the network conversion to the equivalent length of CPW transmission lines by using T-network 1 $\pi$-network conversion circuit. A Colpitts oscillator was fabricated on the substrate of a area of 8.5mm x 17.4mm with a MESFET of Fujitsu FMM5704X and CPW series short stubs. The design suggested the possibility of realizing oscillators on a planar surface for the wireless system of tansmitter and receiver modules in the frequency range of 30GHz

Purpose: To investigate audiometery and characteristics related to tinnitus in tinnitus patients, and to understand the relationship between the discomfort of tinnitus and the quality of life. Methods: The subjects were 110 patients with tinnitus. The data were collected using tinnitus handicap questionnaire, quality of life, and pure tone audiometry, which measured hearing level in dB and frequency in Hz matching of tinnitus. Results: Majority of tinnitus patients (75.5%~81.8%) had normal auditory sensation. but 82.7% of patients indicated that they have heard tinnitus "frequently" or "always", and the major sounds of tinnitus were "wing, wung, wang". The matching sounds of tinnitus had various range in hearing level(dB) and frequency(Hz). Tinnitus patients reported moderate levels of the discomfort of tinnitus and the quality of life, and there were negative correlation between the discomfort of tinnitus and the quality of life(r=-.314, p<.001). Conclusion: These findings suggest that special attention is needed for tinnitus patients because the physical, psychological, and social impacts of tinnitus could be decrease their quality of life. Specialized nursing intervention considering specific conditions related to tinnitus is required to solve various health problems of tinnitus patients.

A commercial $0.25{\mu}m$ GaN process is used to implement 6-18 GHz wideband power amplifier (PA) monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs). GaN HEMTs are advantageous for enhancing RF power due to high breakdown voltages. However, the large-signal models provided by the foundry service cannot guarantee model accuracy up to frequencies close to their maximum oscillation frequency ($F_{max}$). Generally, the optimum output load point of a PA varies severely according to frequency, which creates difficulties in generating watt-level output power through the octave bandwidth. This study overcomes these issues by the development of in-house large-signal models that include a thermal model and by applying distributed L-C output load matching to reactive matched amplifiers. The proposed GaN PAs have successfully accomplished output power over 5 W through the octave bandwidth.

본 논문에서는, Glass 안테나의 특성과 휴대성 및 제작상의 장점이 있는 다이폴 형태의 Flexible T-DMB 안테나를 제안하였다. 차량의 전면 유리 최외각에 위치하는 안테나를 구현하기 위하여 차체의 영향에 따른 안테나의 특성과 안테나의 부착 위치에 따라 달라지는 안테나 특성을 고려하여 급전 선로 사이에 매칭 회로를 추가하여 안테나의 입력 정합 특성을 높였다. 차량의 전면 유리에서의 실험 결과, T-DMB(174~216 MHz) 대역에서 안테나의 입력 반사 손실은 -6 dB 이하를 기준으로 모두 만족하였으며, 위치 변화에도 T-DMB 대역을 만족하였다.
