  • An air-data estimator for generic air-breathing hypersonic vehicles (AHSVs) is developed and demonstrated with an example vehicle configuration. The AHSV air-data estimation strategy emphasized improvement of the angle of attack estimate accuracy to a degree necessitated by the stringent operational requirements of the air-breathing propulsion. the resulting estimation problem involves highly nonlinear diffusion process (propagation); consequently, significant distortion of a posteriori conditional density is suspected. A simulation based statistical analysis tool is developed to characterize the nonlinear diffusion process. The statistical analysis results indicate that the diffusion process preserves the symmetry and unimodality of initial probability density shape state variables, and provide the basis for applicability of an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). An EKF is designed for the AHSV air-data system and the air data estimation capabilities are demonstrated.

  • Reconfigurable radio technology is needed to reconstruct frequency and modem functionality, which can be different within various regions. In addition, it makes it possible for a single mobile handset to support various standards of wireless communication, and thus plays a key role inmobile convergence. A MMIC VCO(Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit Voltage Controlled Oscillator) has been developed to produce high power and wide bandwidth that adapts the Clapp-Gouriet type oscillator for series feedback. We were fabricated based on the 0.15um pHEMT from TRW. The MMIC VCO was connected to an alumina substrate on the carrier for testing. This MMIC VCO module shows good performance when compared with existing VCOs. Futhermore, it has potential as a reconfigurable MMIC VCO for ubiquitous communications such as LMDS (Local Multipoint Distribution Service), VSAT, Point to Point Radio and SATCOM.

  • 문양이나 패턴이 없는 민 무늬의 물체에는 동일점 정합에 의해 3 차원 계측을 하는 스테레오 정합방식을 적용할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 난수 발생 함수로 제작한 랜덤 칼라 패턴을 대상물체에 투영하여, 대상 물체 표면에 특징적인 문양을 인위적으로 생성시키는 것에 의해 민 무늬의 물체를 스테레오 정합법으로 측정하는 방식을 제안한다. 투사된 패턴으로 자체 문양을 지니게 된 물체를 스테레오 카메라로 촬영하였고, 동일점 정합은 전역 스테레오 정합 방식의 일종인 TRW 방식에 의한 컬러 매칭 방식을 사용하였다. 제안된 방식은 원형의 흰색 석고상 3 차원 계측에 적용되었고, 안정적이고 정확한 스테레오 정합 계측 결과를 보였다.

  • To characterize plasmids in Xanthomonu axonopodis pv. glycines, we isolated plasmids pAG1 from the strain AG1 and pXAG81 and PXAG82 from the strain Bra, respectively, and sequenced three plasmids. The size of plasmids, pAG1, pXAG81, and pXAG82 was 15,149-base pairs (bp), 26,727-bp, and 1,496-bp, respectively Fifteen and twenty six possible open reading frames (ORFs) were present in pAG1 and pXAG81, respectively. Only one ORF homologous to a rep gene of Xylella fastidiosa was present in pXAG82. pAG1 contained genes homologous to avrBs3, tnpA, tnpR, repA, htrA, three parA genes, M.XmaI, R.XmaI, and six hypothetical proteins. pXAG81 contained genes homologous to avrBs3, tnpA, tnpR, repA, htrA, two parA genes, pemI, pemK, mobA, mobB, mobC, mobD, mobE, trwB, traF, traH, ISxac2, and eleven hypothetical proteins. Based on DNA sequence analysis, we presume that pXAG81 is a conjugal plasmid. Interestingly, we found 0.5-kb truncated avirulence gene similar to aurXacE3 on the right border of avrBs3 homolgs of pAG1 and pXAG81. Two hundred twenty five isolates were analyzed to find aurBS3 or tra gene homologs by Southern hybridization. The numbers of avrBs3 homolog varied from 3 in AG1 to 8 in AG166. Two hundred seventeen isolates appeared to can conjugative plasmids (pXAG81 type), and thirty eight isolates appeared to carry non-conjugative plamids (pAGl type). This indicated that aurBs3 gene homologs might be spread by conjugation in X. axonopodis pv. glycines.

  • MMIC low noise amplifiers for millimeter-wave application using 0.15 $\mu$m pHEMT have been presented in this paper. The design emphasis is on active device model and EM simulation. The deficiency of conventional device models is identified. A distributed device model has been adapted to circumvent the scaling problems and, thus, to predict small signal and noise parameters accurately. Two single-ended low noise amplifier are designed using distributed active device model for Q-band(40 ∼ 44 GHz) and V-band(58 ∼65 GHz) application. The Q-band amplifier achieved a average noise figure of 2.2 dB with 18.3 dB average gain. The V-band amplifier achieved a average noise figure of 2.9 dB with 14.7 dB average gain. The design technique and model employed provides good agreement between measured and predicted results. Compared with the published data, this work also represents state-of-the-art performance in terms of gain and noise figure.
