The MMIC (Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit) self oscillating double conversion mixer was designed and fabricated for the V-band transmitter applications. The MMIC self oscillating double conversion mixer which dose not need external local oscillator was designed using GaAs PHEMT technology. The first self oscillating mixer use PHEMT technology. The first self oscillating mixer use PHEMT for $f_{LO}$ signal generation and $f_{IF}$ signal is applied at gate port and $f_{RF1}$ signal is generated at a drain port of first stage. The second gate mixer use PHEMT for $f_{LO}$ signal and $f_{RF1}$ signal is applied at gate port and $f_{RF2}$ signal is output at a drain port of second stage.

In recent years, the pileup of world ports is deepening as time goes by due to China effect and continuous increase of world trade volume. The shipping companies try to reduce their shipping cost by using mega vessels in the ports. Shipping companies consider most of the ships turnaround time as a critical factor when selecting a calling port for reducing cost. This paper will suggest how we can guarantee terminal QoS like ship waiting time ratio and ship residing time applying RFID(Radio Frequence IDentification) technology, raising up rapidly as a fundamental solution of new growing industry to port information system. Also, lead time of whole port logistics can be decreased for reduction of loading & discharging time and result from productivity improvement of Twin-lift G/C(Gantry Crane} as applying RFID technology to terminal operation. The purpose of this paper suggests that the new business model of U-Port which port QoS can be guaranteed using RFID based RTLS technology.

Recent studies have offered ambiguous definitions of smart ports. These include smart ports being the only way that fully integrated ports can survive (Deloitte 2017) or ports that have a design based on Internet-of-Things technology to minimize waste of urban space and resources (Port Technology 2016). In addition, many port authorities are creating smart port strategies and have held research seminars focused on smart ports. This study sheds light on the following questions: Why do we need smart ports? Why should all ports be smart ports? Why are overseas advanced ports promoting smartization as soon as possible? What does the future look like for smart ports? Therefore, in this study, we explored the concept of smart ports based on previous research and examined the trends in smart port policies in the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, Italy, and Singapore. Finally, this study proposes useful policies for smart ports and also discusses policy directions that could make our ports truly smart ports.

Many changes lie ahead for Korea both domestically and internationally including opening of Busan New Port, more active Gwangyang Port as well as rapid growth of Shanghai Port and enhanced services and productivity at Shenzen Port. Compared to newer ports, container terminals in Busan Port possesses old equipment and facilities. Therefore, in order for Busan Port to maintain its service level and remain competitive, it needs to undergo remodeling to enhance productivity. Remodeling activities should be implemented on a continual basis by developing and applying new technologies such as those for gate system, berth system, yard system, and IT system In order to review the alternatives, we performed questionnaire survey and interview. From the result of analysis, we designed the application plan based on priority in remodeling, period of technology application, and direction for application.

Ports play a key role in international trade, as integral hubs where passengers and cargoes are loaded, discharged, and transshipped. However, the function of ports is becoming more diversified, expanding on roles as industrial clusters, as well as logistical centers. Such roles combined, reap numerous and significant benefits, mainly with growth of jobs and wealth creation, for the local population living in the city, and beyond. Citizens' awareness of the function and value of ports may not be positive, because of a range of negative factors such as emissions, noise, and road congestion, which can influence their perception. This study's contribution focuses on empirically evaluating the perception of Busan citizens of the local port, by applying Q methodology. The links connecting the port-city and local population, are assessed by identifying: 1) The level of awareness of the Busan citizens of the port; 2) Factors perceived as positive as well as factors perceived as negative by Busan citizens. There are four main factors, derived from the analysis: 1) Port functional knowledge; 2) Lack of social connectedness port-city; 3) Environmentally concerned and; 4) Absent port's ripple's effect. Policy recommendations suggest focusing on improving citizens' perception of the port, for each of the four main factors derived from the analysis.

To quantitatively assess the correlation between subsystems within a port cluster and the overall coordinated development of the port group, the current paper evaluates the coordinated development of port clusters. First, we construct an evaluation index system for the coupling and coordination of port clusters. Next, we introduce the contribution index of port subsystems, coupling degree, and coupling coordination degree functions to formulate a coupling coordination evaluation model for the port cluster. Finally, we use the Yangtze River Delta port cluster as a case study for validation, specifically using empirical data from 2012 to 2021. The findings reveal distinct phased characteristics in the coupling and coordination of port clusters in the Yangtze River Delta, marked by a notable transition from "maladjustment" to "coordination." Further, sustained high coupling values over a decade indicate a significant level of competition and cooperation among ports within the Yangtze River Delta port cluster. Over time, this competitive and collaborative dynamic has progressively evolved toward a more positive and structured direction. Lastly, it is expected that the evaluation model proposed in this paper can be extrapolated to other port clusters to gauge the extent of coordinated development, thereby facilitating horizontal comparisons and vertical analyses.

The design method of a four-port stripline circulator with a single ferrite disk is proposed using Green's function method. The four-port circulator gives the flexibility of the design of the communication system. Two cascaded three-port circulators has been used as a four-port circulator. However, if a four-port circulator with a single ferrite disk replace the present four-port circulator, then it will give less weight and volume and so has the advantage in satellite application.

An efficient measurement methodology is proposed to construct the scattering parameters of a multi-port device using a four-port vector network analyzer (VNA) without the external un-terminated ports. By using the four-port VNA, the reflected waves from the un-terminated ports could be minimized. The proposed method significantly enhances the accuracy of the S-parameters with less number of measurements compared to the results of classical renormalization technique which uses two-port VNA. The proposed method is validated from the measured data with the coupled 8-port micro-strip lines.
