In this paper, a high-power 20-way stripline power divider with low insertion loss and low side lobe level is successfully designed, fabricated and measured as a feed network for an S-band linear array antenna having Dolph-Chebyshev current distribution which has a narrow beam width and very low side lobe level (SLL). The 20-way stripline power divider consists of an 8-way power divider, three 4-way power dividers and three ring hybrids. It utilizes a T-junction structure as a basic element for power dividing. Notches and modified input/output N-to-stripline transitions are used for improving insertion loss and return loss. The fabricated power divider shows insertion loss less than 0.3 ㏈ and rms phase mismatch less than 8o in the full bandwidth. A final 40-way power divider is synthesized by combining symmetrically two 20-way power dividers and is expected to have SLL over 40 dB, based on the measured results of the 20-way power divider.

In this paper, the double circular array microstrip patch antenna was designed to minimize the side lobe in which a cooperate feeding network was used to supply the same amplitude and equi-phase to each antenna element. Eight microstirip patch antenna(MPA) elements were arrayed with $45^{\circ}$ interval in the inner circle and the outer circle respectively. The simulation results showed that when the radii of the inner circle and the outer circle were 0.7 $\lambda$0 and 1.45 $\lambda$0, the side lobes of beam pattern were minimized. As the results of the measurements, the return loss of the designed antenna was -14.5[dB] at 11.75[GHz] in the input terminal. When the level of the main lobe was normalized at 0[dB], those of the first and the second side lobe were -18[dB] and -26[dB] respectively. The radiation patterns agree well with the simulated patterns.

ADCP(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler)는 유수의 흐름을 방해하지 않으면서 수중에 발사된 음파의 도플러 효과를 이용하여 3차원 유속 측정이 가능한 초음파 유량측정장비이다. 2009년부터 다양한 하천에서 ADCP 사용량이 증가하면서 ADCP를 이용한 유량측정 기법과 현장 적용상의 문제, 자료처리 과정에서의 문제점들이 발생하고 있다. 이런 문제점들을 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 사례들이 나타났다. 첫 번째 하상이 매우 불규칙한 단면의 부적절한 측정 사례, 두 번째 하안 수직벽 존재에 따른 단면의 부적절한 측정 사례, 세 번째 수심 오측이 다수 발생한 측정 사례, 네 번째 유속 프로파일 결측이 다수 발생한 측정 사례, 다섯 번째 통신문제로 인한 주기적인 결측이 발생한 측정 사례, 여섯 번째 홍수기 고농도 유사로 인해 결측이 발생한 사례, 일곱 번째 수중식생의 영향으로 수심 및 유속 프로파일 오측이 발생한 측정 사례, 여덟 번째 이동상 조건이 발생한 측정 사례 등 많은 문제들이 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 수중식생의 영향으로 수심 및 유속 프로파일 오측이 발생하는 사례에 대해 개선할 수 있는 방안을 연구하였다. ADCP에서 수중에 발사한 음파 중 식생에 부딪친 강한 반사파의 노이즈로 side-lobe현상에 의한 오측 및 결측이 발생한다. 현재 오측 및 결측 자료는 ADCP 제조사별 자료 취득 소프트웨어의 기능에 의존 하거나, USGS의 OSW(Office of Surface Water) Hydroacoustics의 QRev를 이용하여 후처리 과정을 거쳐 측정 자료로 정리하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 노이즈로 인한 side-lobe 현상을 물리적인 방법으로 제거하기 위해 음향 녹음 과정에서 노이즈를 물리적인 방법으로 제거하는 윈드실드와 팝 필터를 고려한 ADCP필터를 개발하여 적용하였다. 이번 연구의 대상지점은 원주시(지정대교)수위관측소로 5월 이후 수중에 식생이 성장하는 지점이다. 먼저 ADCP필터를 제거한 상태에서 측정을 실시하고, 이후 ADCP필터를 장착하여 측정을 실시하였다. ADCP필터 적용의 측정성과에서는 노이즈에 의한 오측 및 결측이 다수 발생하는 것을 볼 수 있고, ADCP필터를 적용한 측정성과에서는 노이즈가 제거되어 오측 및 결측이 개선되는 결과를 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 수중식생 영향으로 강한 반사파에 의한 노이즈로 side-lobe현상에 의한 ADCP측 정성과의 오측 및 결측을 ADCP필터를 적용하여 물리적인 방법으로 노이즈를 제거 할 수 있다는 결과를 얻었다.

음성신호처리에서 스펙트럼 분석은 매우 중요하다. 하지만 스펙트럼 분석을 위해서 사용되는 윈도우에 의해 생기는 누설에러지 때문에 음성신호의 스펙트럼 정보가 왜곡된다. 본 논문에서는 스펙트럼 분석 시 발생되는 창함수 사용에 의해 생기는 누설에너지를 최소화하기 위한 새로운 창함수를 제안하고자 한다. 그 형태는 전체 창함수크기의 반을 방형창으로 나머지 반을 해밍창으로 하고 창의 처음 부분은 $\pm$20표본에서 영점을 찾아주는 것이다. 이 창함수의 특징은 신호분석에 있어서 왜곡은 크지만 그 형태에 있어서 가장 이상적인 방형창함수의 장점과 side lobe가 작아 비교적 왜곡이 적은 해밍창함수의 장점을 취한 것이라 하겠다. 실제 음성 신호에의 적용에 있어서 방형창과 해밍창의 적용비는 신호의 종류 및 용도에 따라 달리할 수 있다. 제안한 창함수는 해밍창함수 보다는 좁은 main lobe 특성으로 음성신호의 단구간 스펙트럼 분석시 음성의 빠른 변화특성을 적절히 보여줄 수 있고 방형창보다는 side lobe의 영향을 줄일 수 있다.

Problems of overlap errors and side-lobe printing by the design rule reduction in the lithography process using attenuated phase-shifting masks(attPSM) have been serious. Overlap errors and side-lobes can be simultaneously solved by the rule-based correction using scattering bars with the rules extracted from test patterns. Process parameters affecting the attPSM lithography simulation have been determined by the fitting method to the process data. Overlap errors have been solved applying the correction rules to the metal patterns overlapped with contact/via. Moreover, the optimal insertion rule of the scattering bars has made it possible to suppress the side-lobes and to get additional pattern fidelity at the same time.

A novel narrowband wavelength bandpass filter with a large side-lobe suppression was proposed in vertical coupler structure using coupling variation in propagation direction. Combination of a half sinusoidal distributed and a slow coupling schmes was used for narrow bandwidth and small side-lobes. Simulation showed 1.5 nm passband at 1.5507 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and the side-lobes were suppressed more than 20 dB which is two times larger than that of a constant coupling filter. A monolithic two-channel wavelength demultiplexer was proposed and theoretically investigated.

During the sea trial test, we discovered EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) between MIL-SATCOM parabolic antenna and ES(Electronic Warfare Support) omni antenna. Emitted side lobe of CW(Continuous Wave) from MIL-SATCOM raises the threshold level of ES omni antenna. Therefore detection rate of ES is decreased. To solve this problem, the path of side lobe of CW from MIL-SATCOM should be blocked using EMI shield. This paper presents the method how to calculate the size of EMI shield, material, and optimized deployment. The test of the EMI shield effect was performed on a surface ship. After installing EMI shield, EMI has been decreased significantly. This paper will provide a method how to design EMI shield and a way to verify the result.

In this paper, we propose a new array antenna scheme which has an improved side lobe level (SLL) as well as a simplified feeding network and a high gain. The proposed array scheme is based on a non-uniformly excited sub-array. For analysis, we use an array factor of sub-array antenna. In the simulation results, the simulated SLL and gain provide more than 18.43 dB and 26.63 dBi, respectively. For the verification of the proposed design scheme, the prototype antenna with $16{\times}8$ radiating elements was designed by the proposed array scheme. The measured SLL and gain are more than 19.85 dB and 25.53 dBi, respectively. This measurement result indicates that the proposed array scheme is reasonable.

We have analyzed optical matched filters considering the third order signals in the optical code division multiple access (CDMA) system based on optical series coupler access encoder (SCAE) and series coupler access decoder (SCAD). In previous studies, the performance evaluation of the optical CDMA system using SCAE and SCAD was not sufficiently accurate because they analyzed system performance only considering the first order signals. Since optical SCAE and SCAD intrinsically have high order signals of various patterns as the number of coupler increases, they change auto- and cross-correlation intensities. Thus, it is necessary to investigate properties of the third order signals so that we may analyze the exact performance of system. In this paper, we mathematically interpret the optical signals up to the third order, and analyzed the effects of th third order signals on auto- and cross-correlation intensities. In result, as ${\alpha}$(coupling coefficient) value increases, the intensity of the third order signals increases. It is found that the peak to side-lobe ratio considering the third order signals is degraded by 3.75 dB at N(coupler number)=5 and ${\alpha}$=0.5. Also if threshold value in receiver is set by main-lobe peak of the first order signals, it is found that the number of users in an optical CDMA system is limited because the intensity peak of side-lobes is raised by the third order signals.

This paper presents analysis of a slot array antenna having a low side lobe level and high front-to-back ratio for a repeater system of a satellite DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) service. Antennas for this repeater system require a high gain and enough isolation to reduce interferences between signals in system. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress a side lobe level and to increase front-to-back ratio. Unlike a structure 134 by lossy microstrip lines, in this work a single cavity-backed slot antenna array using a single waveguide feed is proposed to obtain the reliability for high power handling and high radiation efficiency. The side lobe level and front-to-back ratio are enhanced with tapered array technique and an optimized vertical reflector. The measured side lobe levels in H- and E-plane are under $-33.24\;\cal{dB}$ and $-35.78\;\cal{dB}$, respectively. The front-to-back ratio over $37.84\;\cal{dB}$, and the peak gain of over $17\;\cal{dBi}$ are measured.
