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.

This paper presents a design method for the structural-acoustic coupled radiator that can emit sound in the desired direction. A coupled system that has a finite space and a semi-infinite space separated by two flexible walls and an opening is considered. An objective function is selected to maximize radiation power on a main axis and minimize a side lobe level. To get initial values, prediction of a pressure distribution on field points and radiation pattern of the structural-acoustic coupling system is shown at a coupled-resonant frequency. Three different optimization methods are adapted to design the coupled radiator. Pressure and intensity distribution of the designed radiator is presented.

In this paper, noise source localization of the Korean high speed train was conducted by using delay and sum beam-forming method of a microphone array. At first, the microphone array having irregular configuration was designed and the resolution of which was analyzed from parameters such as 3-dB bandwidth and maximum side-lobe level. After the demonstration, the microphone array was applied on the high speed train and noise localization of the high speed train driving at 300 km/h was performed successfully.

To obtain a high resolution microwave images, back scattering microwave fields from one, two, four poles on a rotating object is measured. A computation algorithm to reconstruct these poles images from measured data is programed. The program is tested for these poles on a rotating object for different frequency intervals in the X-Band. The more frequency data yield the reduction of side lobe level. The reconstructed image for the two pole objects having the diameter of 1cm and separated by 1 lamda, 2 lamda (lamda-3.75 cm) from the measured data is shown. And, the image of two objects having the different reflectivity coefficient from the measured data is also shown and it assumes that this reconstructing algorithm from the measured angular spectrum provides quite accurate images.

A design procedure using spatial Fourier transform is presented for a structural-acoustic coupled radiator that can emit sound in the desired direction with high power and low side lobe level. The design procedure consists of three steps. Firstly, the structural-acoustic coupled radiator is chosen to obtain strong coupling between structural vibration and acoustic pressure. The radiator is composed by two spaces which are separated by a wall. Spaces can be categorized as reverberant finite space and unbounded semi-infinite space, and the wall are composed of two plates and an opening. The velocities on the wall are predicted. Secondly, directivity and energy distribution of radiator are predicted in wave number domain using spatial Fourier transform. Finally, optimal design variables are calculated using a dual optimal algorithm. Its computational example is presented including the directivity and resulting pressure distribution using proposed procedure.

This paper presents a design of the directional radiation pattern by using the structural-acoustic interaction. For this purpose, prediction of the pressure distribution of the field points and radiation pattern of the structural-acoustic coupling system is shown. In order to get a strong coupling, coupled system that has a finite space and a semi-infinite space separated by two flexible walls and an opening is selected. A volume interaction can be occurred in structure boundary and a pressure interaction can be happened in the opening boundary. The coupled system is maximized the radiation power on the main axis and minimized the side lobe level.

The LHCP circularly polarized antenna operating at the satellite broadcast receiving band is developed by employing the sequential-rotation technique in which each truncated-corner patch square element is arranged in the triangular lattice type. Antenna designed with sequentially rotated technique of triangular lattice type has the effect of improved axial-ratio bandwidth, cross-polarization etc., and the degradation of radiation pattern can be reduced significantly by minimizing the radiation loss of feeding line structure. Characteristics of antenna designed is satisfied with specifications of array antenna for DBS that is -27 dB of side lobe level and -20 dB of cross-polarized level at $\Phi$=45$^{\circ}$ plane.

In this paper, we propose a novel small antenna for direction finding applications. The proposed antenna employs a skirt type disk to eliminate the radiation null on the broad-side direction in the high frequency range. Additionally, the multi-section matching stub is used for impedance matching in the low frequency range, The size of the proposed antenna is reduced as a half of the 60cm dipole which has a same resonance frequency of 200MHz. The antenna maintains a donut shape radiation pattern with a broad beam width for a wide range of frequency while the 60cm dipole shows radiation nulls on the broad-side direction and the high side-lobe level from 700MHz to 1,300MHz.

The evoked potentials for concentrations of solutions of the four qualities of tastes(i.e., sweet, salty, sour, and bitter tastes) were measured. The solution was applied to the chorda tympani nerve located on the left side of the tongue at 20mm from the tip and 15mm left from the center line. The evoked potentials were detected from Cz referred to A1(left lobe) with the ground at the Fpz position. The Maximum potential level and its latency were evaluated. The individual threshold level of concentration of the solutions of four tastes were measured. Artificial saliva was used as a control solution. The evoked positive potentials for four qualities of tastes (i.e., gustatory evokde potentials) were found to be around 150ms by averaging eight responses. The arbitrary concentration of the solutions were presented by the relative concentration, which was the ratio of the arbitrary concentration to the individual threshold level. The characteristic relations between the latency and the relative concentration ;and those between the potential level and the relative concentration were evaluated. These evalutions showed that (1) the latencies for salty and bitter tastes denoted the minimum values due to for the change of relative concentration, and that (2) the latency for sour taste decreased as the relative concentrations increased, while the latency for sweet taste denoted the inverse tendency, Sinificant differences between any two maximum potential levels were not recognized. A response latencies to sucrose were abolished after treatment of tongue by a sweet-suppressing agent.

The SHAPE algorithm has the advantage of being able to shape the pulse spectrum as desired and design it not to distort other characteristics, so it was used in the active sonar pulse design. In this paper, we propose a pulse design using the SHAPE algorithm for a multi-static sonar system to reduce the cross-correlation between frequency-adjacent pulses and prevent the performance degradation of the pulses themselves. The boundary function of the SHAPE algorithm is set to be limited to the pulse bandwidth. As a result of applying the proposed design method to the sinusoidal frequency modulated pulse, the peak cross-correlation level (PCCL), which means the degree of cross-correlation, was reduced by 44.23 dB. Although the PCCL decreased by several tens of dB, no significant change in the ambiguity function was observed, and the integrated sidelobe level (ISL), which means the average value of the side lobe, increased by 11.64 dB.
