In this paper, the implementations of a $0.1{\mu}m$ gallium arsenide (GaAs) pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor process for a low noise amplifier (LNA), a subharmonically pumped (SHP) mixer, and a single-chip receiver for 70/80 GHz point-to-point communications are presented. To obtain high-gain performance and good flatness for a 15 GHz (71 GHz to 86 GHz) wideband LNA, a five-stage input/output port transmission line matching method is used. To decrease the package loss and cost, 2nd and 4th SHP mixers were designed. From the measured results, the five-stage LNA shows a gain of 23 dB and a noise figure of 4.5 dB. The 2nd and 4th SHP mixers show conversion losses of 12 dB and 17 dB and input P1dB of -1.5 dBm to 1.5 dBm. Finally, a single-chip receiver based on the 4th SHP mixer shows a gain of 6 dB, a noise figure of 6 dB, and an input P1dB of -21 dBm.

This paper proposes a LuGre Model-Based Neural Network (MBNN) friction compensation algorithm for a linear motor stage. For matching the friction phenomena in both the motion-start region and the motion-reverse region, the LuGre dynamic model is employed into the proposed compensation algorithm. After training of the model-based neural network is completed, the estimated friction for compensation is obtained. From the obtained result we find that the new structure gains advantage over the non-friction compensation system on the performance of the compensator in both regions. The proposed compensator is evaluated and compared experimentally with an uncompensated system on a microcomputer controlled linear motor tracking system in the final section of the paper. The experimental results show the improvement on the maximum velocity error and the root mean square tracking error in the motion-start region ranges from 34% to 53% and from 53% to 75% respectively, and in the motion-reverse region from 48% to 65% and from 79% to 90% respectively.

This study is aimed at utilizing LCA processor with BIM LOD, eliciting the problems of the existing environmental assessment by constructing the database for environmental values of green buildings. For these objects, environmental load database of BIM construction material and evaluation process are presented, after matching BIM family based environmental load database which is available during evaluation stage, input-output tables and Korea LCI database to standard item code of public procurement service. It is a important factor in environmental assessment of building to develop database unit of standard item code for BIM and construction material. Thus, the results of this study are expected to provide basic data for improving effectiveness of construction through BIM based environmental load evaluation database. Furthermore, the provided environmental load database unit for construction material is considered to be available as basic information for BIM study by suggesting a processor connecting BIM with LCA and along with this, continuous examination on the connection process is needed.

자기공명영상은 다른 의료영상에 비해서 보다 정확한 해부학적인 진단 정보를 제공해 주므로 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이차원 축단면 뇌 자기총명영상을 분할하는 자동화 알고리즘과 병별에 의해서 손상된 슬라이스를 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 영상분활 과정은 두단계로 구성되어 있는데, 첫 단계에서는 이진화와 형태학적 연산을 이용하여 대뇌영역을 추출하고, 둘째 단계에서는 FCM(Fuzzy C-means)알고리즘을 이용하여 추출된 대뇌 내부의 각 조직을 분할하였다. FCM알고리즘은 분할하는 조직의 수가 증가할수록 급격하게 많은 실행시간을 요구하므로 제안하는 두단계 영상분할 과정을 통하여 실행시간을 향상시켰다. 병변 인식은 해부학적지식과 패턴매칭을 이용하였다.

Domain mapping is a bijective transformation of one domain to another, usually from a complicated general domain to a chosen convex domain. This is directly useful in many application problems like shape modeling, morphing, texture mapping, shape matching, remeshing, path planning etc. A new approach considering the domain as made up of structural elements, like membranes or trusses, is developed and implemented using the nonlinear finite element formulation. The mapping is performed in two stages, boundary mapping and inside mapping. The boundary of the 3-D domain is mapped to the surface of a convex domain (in this case, a sphere) in the first stage and then the displacement/distortion of this boundary is used as boundary conditions for mapping the interior of the domain in the second stage. This is a general method and it develops a bijective mapping in all cases with judicious choice of material properties and finite element analysis. The consistent global parameterization produced by this method for an arbitrary genus zero closed surface is useful in shape modeling. Results are convincing to accept this finite element structural approach for domain mapping as a good method for many purposes.

In this paper, we propose a high gain, current reused ultra wideband (UWB) low noise amplifier (LNA) that uses TSMC 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. To satisfy the wide input matching and high voltage gain requirements with low power consumption, a resistive current reused technique is utilized in the first stage. A ${\pi}$-type LC network is adopted in the second stage to achieve sufficient gain over the entire frequency band. The proposed UWB LNA has a voltage gain of 12.9~18.1 dB and a noise figure (NF) of 4.05~6.21 dB over the frequency band of interest (1~10 GHz). The total power consumption of the proposed UWB LNA is 10.1 mW from a 1.4 V supply voltage, and the chip area is $0.95{\times}0.9$ mm.

본 논문에서는 차동 전력증폭기 출력단에서의 전력 결합 및 임피던스 정합을 위한 LTCC 기반의 RF 트랜스포머를 제시하였다. 기존의 인덕터와 커패시터를 이용한 정합회로 대신 회로의 면적을 덜 차지하며 직류 차단의 역할을 수행하는 트랜스포머를 LTCC 기판에 구현하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 결과를 검증하였다. 트랜스포머의 다운사이징과 결합계수의 개선을 위해 기판의 더 많은 금속층을 사용하는 트랜스포머를 구현하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존의 트랜스포머와 성능을 비교하였다. 3개의 금속층을 사용한 기존의 트랜스포머와 5개의 금속층을 사용한 변형된 트랜스포머를 비교한 결과 새롭게 제시한 트랜스포머가 55% 감소된 면적과 25% 증가한 결합계수를 가지며 5GHz에서 약 0.4dB의 삽입손실 개선을 확인하였다.

[ $0.18-{\mu}m$ ] CMOS공정을 이용하여 근거리 무선통신(22-29 GHz)에서 응용할 수 있는 전력증폭기를 설계하였다. 전도성 기판에 의한 손실을 줄이기 위해서 기판 차폐된 두 가지 형태의 전송선로를 설계하고, 40 GHz 까지 측정 및 모델링하였다. 기판 차폐 microstrip line (MSL) 전송선로의 경우 27 GHz에서 약 0.5 dB/mm의 삽입손실을 나타내었다. 기판 차폐 MSL 구조를 이용한 전력증폭기는 0.83$mm^2$의 비교적 작은 면적을 차지하면서도 27 GHz에서 14.7 dB의 소신호 이득과 14.5 dBm의 출력을 나타내었다. 기판 차폐 coplanar waveguide (CPW) 전송선로의 경우 27 GHz에서 약 1.0 dB/mm 삽입손실을 나타내었으며, 이를 이용한 전력증폭기는 26.5 GHz에서 12 dB의 소신호 이득과 12.5 dBm의 출력을 나타내었다. 본 논문의 결과는 $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS공정을 이용한 저가격의 근거리 무선통신 시스템을 구현할 수 있는 가능성을 제시한다.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate efficient approaches for determining internal target volume (ITV) from four-dimensional computed tomography (4D CT) images used in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and Methods: 4D CT images were analyzed for 15 patients who received SBRT for stage I NSCLC. Three different ITVs were determined as follows: combining clinical target volume (CTV) from all 10 respiratory phases ($ITV_{10Phases}$); combining CTV from four respiratory phases, including two extreme phases (0% and 50%) plus two intermediate phases (20% and 70%) ($ITV_{4Phases}$); and combining CTV from two extreme phases ($ITV_{2Phases}$). The matching index (MI) of $ITV_{4Phases}$ and $ITV_{2Phases}$ was defined as the ratio of $ITV_{4Phases}$ and $ITV_{2Phases}$, respectively, to the $ITV_{10Phases}$. The tumor motion index (TMI) was defined as the ratio of $ITV_{10Phases}$ to $CTV_{mean}$, which was the mean of 10 CTVs delineated on 10 respiratory phases. Results: The ITVs were significantly different in the order of $ITV_{10Phases}$, $ITV_{4Phases}$, and $ITV_{2Phases}$ (all p < 0.05). The MI of $ITV_{4Phases}$ was significantly higher than that of $ITV_{2Phases}$ (p < 0.001). The MI of $ITV_{4Phases}$ was inversely related to TMI (r = -0.569, p = 0.034). In a subgroup with low TMI (n = 7), $ITV_{4Phases}$ was not statistically different from $ITV_{10Phases}$ (p = 0.192) and its MI was significantly higher than that of $ITV_{2Phases}$ (p = 0.016). Conclusion: The $ITV_{4Phases}$ may be an efficient approach alternative to optimal $ITV_{10Phases}$ in SBRT for early-stage NSCLC with less tumor motion.
