Herein, we design a wideband $8{\times}8$ waveguide Butler matrix in order to use in a multi-port amplifiers(MPAs) at Ka-band. To achieve the broadband characteristic, we design a binomial 6-slot 3 dB directional coupler which is used to configure the $8{\times}8$ Butler matrix. The measured results of the fabricated $8{\times}8$ Butler matrix have low insertion loss of less than 0.3 dB, good return loss of over 26 dB and high isolation of over 35 dB within the design bandwidth of 3 GHz.

The fog screen is a device projecting the media to the aerosol flow field. As major parameters to generate dense and steady fog screen, shear stress, optical blockage ratio and SMD were obtained result through experiment. The micro droplet was generated by the piezo oscillation element, and the aerosol flow mixed with an air flow was sprayed into the vertical direction from the top of the fog screen through the 280 mm slot. For produce a dense, uniform fog screen, the shear effect, optical blockage ratio and SMD between aerosol and air curtain were measured. The minimum and maximum shear stress conditions were selected and it was confirmed that the optical transmission deviation of the aerosol flow field was small when the aerosol and air curtain flow rates were changed. When the aerosol and air curtain flow power were 18 V (1.51 m/s) and 24 V (2.55 m/s), respectively, under the condition of the minimum shear stress and laminar flow, the optical blockage ratios with the spray length were small, and it produced a most stable and high density uniform fog screen by injecting a constant of $10{\mu}m$ or less.

This paper proposes a novel asymmetrical interior permanent magnet (IPM) brushless DC (BLDC) motor structure, which utilizes half-type permanent magnet (PM) configuration and has asymmetrical side gaps (slot next to the PMs) for reducing torque ripples. This structure uses 24% less volume of PMs than conventional IPM BLDC motor with a full set of magnets. The characteristics of the proposed motor are compared with three other half-type IPM BLDC motors through finite elements method (FEM) analysis, and the usefulness of the proposed motor was verified through experimental evaluation on prototypes of the conventional motor and proposed motor under various torque load conditions. This research obtained a high-performance IPM BLDC motor while decreasing manufacturing cost at the same time.

This poper proposes the method of the balanced-mixer realization in the X-Band frequency range by the MIC coplanar magic-tee. This magic-tee is composed with microstrip and slot, as suggested by Ronde. The characteristics of balancing and isolation in this magic-tee is more preferable to those of the rat-race or hybrid ring in the wide frequency range. So, experimentally in this paper the characteristics of the MIC balanced-mixed are obtained with the VSWR less than 1, 2(in Local and Signal Arms) and the Conversion Loss, 6 dB in that frequency range, when the mixer is designed in the 3rd order (in E-arm) and 2nd order(in H-arm) Chebyshev matching networks, and with two symmetrical Schottkey Barrier Diodes.

In this paper we suggest a scheduling algorithm that transmits periodic traffics efficiently in tree-structured wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The related research[l] showed the problems such as increasing the energy consumption and decreasing the data throughput as the depth of tree increases. To solve these problems. we use idle time slots and avoid the redundancy at data transmission. Also we suggest the algorithm that transmits the control packet when it is similar to a previously measured data. And if emergency data is occurred, our proposed algorithm transits that data in EDP(Emergency Data Period) for reducing the wait time. The proposed algorithm shows more data throughput and less energy consumption than that of the related research.

The slotless Permanent-Magnet Linear Synchronous Motors (PMLSM) have been developed for factory automation, transportation applications, wafer steppers, conveyance system, and so on. The current analysis and design are treated in air-cored PMLSM. This paper presents a design and analysis solutions for the general class of iron-cored Permanent magnet Linear Synchronous motor (PMLSM). In our design and analysis, rotor consisting of permanent magnets and slot less iron-cored coil stator are treated in a uniform way via vector potiential. For one such motor structure we give analytical formulas for its magnetic field, opitimal permanent magnet and winding coil thickness, trust force. We also provide comparisons of three types in Halbach, vertical, and horizontal magnet array.

Composite material is very attractive because it has excellent mechanical property and is possible to lightweight due to the low density. However, composite material is less used compared to other systems in the chassis system because it is very hard to solve NVH problem when composite material is applied to vehicle. Especially, reducing squeal noise of composite brake system is essential to apply it to vehicle successfully. In this paper, we present a new solution to reduce squeal noise of composite brake system. To achieve this goal, we analyze main causes of noise using RCA (Root Cause Analysis), CA (Contradiction Analysis) and sequentially get IFR (Ideal Final Result) to solve the problem. Next, we define the function of composite brake system and derive control factors and noise factors. A variety of tests for factors like chamfer, slot, damping shim, underlayer of brake pad are done. In addition, we analyze level of contribution for control factors theoretically. Finally, we get the effective solution for reducing squeal noise.

The total Fluorine content in the precursor solution for MOD processing of YBCO coated conductors can be significantly reduced by synthesizing precursor solution with F-free Y & Cu precursor and Barium trifluoroacetate(TFA). It was shown that crack-free and uniform precursor films were formed after calcinations in humidified oxygen atmosphere. Less than 2 hours are required to finish the calcinations process and XRD measurement shows that $BaF_2,\;CuO,\;Y_2O_3$ are major constituent of calcined precursor films. Film thickness after calcinations was improved to be 2.8um by applying slot-die coating method. In particular, addition of Samarium shows critical current of $I_c=273A/cm-w(J_c=3.8MA/cm^2)$. It is shown that uniform and fast processing route to YBCO coated conductor with high Ic can be provided by employing F-free Y & Cu precursor solution in MOD process.

In this paper, a slotless outer rotor BLDC motor for a vehicle blower was designed and manufactured to improve the disadvantages of general motors. The proposed motor solves the noise caused by mechanical friction of DC motor during rotation by removing the brush, Also, slotless air-gap windings are used to improve cogging torque by BLDC motor slots. Then, the motor has a structure in which a magnet is attached to the external rotor and rotates simultaneously with the internal rotor, there is no change in magnetic flux. Therefore, it has high efficiency by fundamentally reducing iron loss.

In the present study, a dual-band multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna covering WLAN frequency bands of 2.4 GHz (2.4 ~ 2.484 GHz) and 5 GHz (5.15 ~ 5.825 GHz) is newly presented to avoid use of decoupling structure for increasing isolation. The antenna consists of two L-shaped slots with n-shaped slots etched on the floating ground plane surrounded by open ended L-shaped slots which are placed in the left and right corner of PCB respectively. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on one side of FR4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.3, thickness of 1.6 mm, and size of $50{\times}50mm2$. It has been observed that the measured impedance bandwidths ($S_{11}{\leq}-10dB$) are 0.3 GHz (2.28 ~ 2.58 GHz) in 2.4 GHz frequency band and 0.89 GHz (5.11 ~ 6 GHz) in 5 GHz frequency band respectively. In addition, It has been observed that the whole efficiency are more than 80 % in the whole operating frequency band and envelope correlation coefficient of the antenna is less than 0.05 as a very small value in spite of nothing of the decoupling structure.
