When the windowed DFT algorithm is applied in harmonic measurements, the problem of initial-phase sensitivity will be encountered, this has an effect on harmonic amplitude accuracy. In this paper, the origin of initial-phase sensitivity is analyzed and the main factors that influence the level of initial-phase sensitivity are demonstrated. A method of reducing initial-phase sensitivity is proposed to increase the stability of harmonic measurements. We found that initial-phase sensitivity is determined by the side lobe peak level of the window functions when synchronous deviation is fixed. In addition, increasing the length of the time recorded can be used to remove initial-phase sensitivity. The correctness and validity of our conclusions have been confirmed through numerical results and field tests.

In this paper, the effects of phase noise on the radar system were analyzed in terms of 3 point of view. The impact(s) on the compressed pulse waveform, the FMICW(Frequency Modulated Interrupted Continuous Wave) radar performance and the receiver sensitivity were investigated. From the investigation, it was indicated that the phase noise over 10 kHz offset frequency makes the side lobe level of compressed pulse worse. Also it was founded that the FMICW radar performance, especially at the noise level of range profile, is related to the phase noise. Finally, the investigation showed that the phase noise at local oscillator affects the receiver sensitivity.

The LHCP circularly polarized antenna operating at DBS band is developed by employing the sequential-rotation technique in which each subarray is comprised the three truncated-corner patch square element. Antenna designed with sequentially-related technique whose M=3, p=2 has the effect of improved axial-ratio bandwidth, cross-polarization etc. And it is proved that the degradation of radiation pattern can be reduced significantly by minimizing the radiation loss of feeding line structure. Antenna designed shows extremely low side lobe level of below - 25 dB in the diagonal plane and cross-polarization level of below -20 dB in the all plane. And these performances comply with the array antenna specification for DBS.

This paper represents an adaptive beamforming technique to suppress interference or jamming signals in wideband. In order to maintain low side lobe level(SLL) at an antenna element level, Taylor-weighting was used. Also, to make a nulling beam pattern toward jammer's directions in wideband, we used the modified Loaded Sample Matrix Inversion(LSMI) algorithm and Tapped Delay Line(TDL). To verify the proposed algorithm, we applied it to a rectangular array antenna. Finally, the results show beam pattern with low SLL and jammers suppression.

개구 합성 레이더(SAR)는 지형의 고 해상도의 영상을 획득하는데 주로 사용된다. 본 논문은 X-band 주파수 대역의 차량 탑재형 개구 합성 레이더(automobile-based SAR) 시스템에 적용하기 위한 $16{\times}16$ 배열 안테나의 설계 및 제작에 관한 것이다. 본 논문에서 구현된 안테나는 레이돔, 방사체, 슬롯, 급전 구조 그리고 허니콤과 같은 여러 층의 구조로 되어 있으며 각 층들은 구조적인 그리고 전기적인 측면의 설계 요구 조건들을 만족하기 위하여 결합되어 있다. Strip-Slot-Foam-Inverted-Patch(SSFIP) 구조와 허니콤을 사용하여 넓은 동작 주파수 대역폭과 기구적인 안정성을 만족하였다. 측정 결과와 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교 분석하였으며 본 논문에서 설계한 안테나는 1.7 GHz의 동작 주파수 대역폭과 20 dB 미만의 side-lobe level, 각각 $5^{\circ}$의 빔 폭과 25 dBi의 이득을 가졌으며 측정된 결과는 광대역 SAR 시스템에 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 도체 판 대신 인공 자기 도체를 반사판으로 이용하여 방사 특성이 개선되고 두께를 줄인 PCS용 기지국 안테나 구조를 제안하였다. 반사판으로 도체 판을 사용하는 기존 기지국 안테나의 경우, 도체 판 끝부분에서 기생 방사가 발생하고 이는 안테나의 후방사를 증가시켜 기지국 안테나의 방사 특성을 악화시킨다. 하지만 인공 자기 도체를 사용하면 표면에서의 높은 임피던스에 의해 표면파가 억압되어 후방사를 크게 줄일 수 있다. 그리고 부엽 특성도 개선되어 서비스 지역이 겹치는 문제를 막을 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 인공 자기 도체 표면에서의 $0^{\circ}$ 반사 위상에 의해 기지국 안테나의 두께를 또한 줄일 수 있다.

This paper deals with the design of a microphone array to measure location and spectral characteristics of railway noise sources. A microphone array estimates the direction of a noise source assumed as a point source using the delayed-sum beamforming method and its performance is determined in terms of resolution and side-lobe level. A 48 channel microphone array was already developed to measure noise sources of KTX trains and a new array with 96 microphones has been designed to enhance the performance. This paper simulates the performance the microphone arrays according to the configuration of microphones and verifies it through on-site tests.

The imaging characteristics of a 2-D interferometric synthetic aperture radiometer, such as an angular resolution, depend largely on the type of an antenna array. In this paper, different array configurations of antenna are studied and compared with each array types to get more high resolution image in spatial. T-, X- and Y- types of antenna array are considered and the performances of each type are analyzed considering spatial resolution. The simulation results of candidate antenna types are presented in this paper. In case of Y-type the coverage area of the visibility function is wide and the angular resolution is high more than the others. X-type array shows the good performance for side lobe level.

This paper describes the design, fabrication, and measurement of a sequential-rotation microstrip-array antenna for the Electronic Toll Collection System (ETCS). The ETCS is made possible by using roadside equipment with radiation pattern that can accurately pinpoint the designated communication area, without interference from other lanes. The sequential-rotation microstrip-array antenna was applied to the absorber to reduce the side lobe level (SLL). Results showed that the antenna yields a return loss at a center frequency of -20.675 dB, an axial ratio of 1.15 dB, and a gain of 20.26 dBi.

As an upgrade we report the current ASTE ultra-wideband corrugated horn design. The length of the feedhorn gets shortened from 12.5 mm to 11 mm, and it shows better side lobe level at the far-field patterns compared with the previous design. We looked into possible quasi-optical solution to match the feedhorn beam to the optics of the current ASTE telescope, starting from frequency-independent solution using two ellipsoidal mirrors to which wideband performance of the feedhorn naturally fits. We used a commercial physical optics package (GRASP) with an user-defined optimizer to give physical constraints to evaluated optical designs for highest efficiency.
