위성방송수신 및 위성 양방향 인터넷, VSAT 등의 위성통신서비스를 차량 이동시에도 이용할 수 있기 위해서는 차량에 탑재하기 용이하도록 소형이며 높이가 낮은 안테나 구조가 요구된다. 또한 중위도 지역에서 평면 안테나 상태로 45도 빔틸트 특성을 갖고, Ka 밴드의 위성통신용으로 충분한 고이득을 얻기 위해, 빔폭이 좁고 사이드로브가 적으며 저손실 구조의 배열안테나 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 성능을 만족시키기 위해, 진행파형 누설파 모드를 기초로 한 도파관 종방향 슬롯 배열안테나를 제안하였으며, 특히 슬롯 배열들 각각의 폭을 조절하여 복사 전력을 제어함으로써 복사 패턴의 사이드로브 레벨을 저감시켰다. 32개 누설파 소자의 배열안테나 이득은 34 dBi 였으며, 빔폭은 3.6도, 사이드로브 레벨은 -25 dB 이하로 기존의 경우보다 약 8 dB 의 저감 개선효과를 얻었다. 중심주파수 20.0 GHz에서 빔틸트 각도는 43도를 얻었다. 급전선로는 도파관의 코퍼레이트 급전방식으로 설계하여 광대역, 저손실 특성을 얻을 수 있었다.

A new type low-pass filter design method based on a coupled line and transmission line theory is proposed to suppress harmonics by attenuation poles in the stop band. The design formula are derived using the equivalent circuit of a coupled transmission line. The new low-pass filter structure is shown to have attractive properties such as compact size, wide stop band range and low insertion loss. The seventh-order low-pass filter designed by present method has a cutoff frequency of 0.9 CHz with a 0.01 dB ripple level. The coupled line type low-pass filter with strip line configuration was fabricated by using a high-temperature superconducting (HTS : YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-{\delta}}$ thin film on MgO(100) substrate. Since the HTS coupled tine type low-pass filter was proposed with five attenuation poles in stop band such as 1.8, 2.5, 4, 5.5, 6.2 GHz. The fabricated low-pass filter has improved the attenuation characteristics up to seven times of the cutoff frequency.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to evaluate water distribution differences of the right and left low limb in patients who had low back pain with sciatica or not. Methods : Water distribution differences of the right and left low limb by body composition(INBODY 2.0, Biospace, seoul, korea) were analysed in the views of groups(low back pain with and without sciatica) and duration of disease. Results : 1. In the case of low back pain patient, there was no significance in variance of water distribution of the right and left lower limbs regardless of suffering period, but significance difference in patients that have suffered low back pain with one side sciatica showed according to suffering period. 2. Within 2 weeks, there was no significant deflection between low back pain with and without sciatica in water distribution of the right and left lower limbs, More than 2 weeks significant deflection showed. Conclusion : Loss of lower limb's muscle that ensue in contracting a disease period was observed in Low Back Pain with Sciatica. The continuos studies about pathological change of lower limb in low back pain have to be perfomed.

Low frequency exhaust noise of marine diesel engine is one of the most important noise sources in vessels. However, conventional absorptive silencers are ineffective to control exhaust noise because of low absorption in the low frequency range. In the paper, exhaust noise control of marine diesel engine was studied by using the hybrid silencer, which was composed of virtually divided array of concentric hole-cavity resonators and conventional absorptive silencer. A series of tests including field tests were performed to investigate the acoustic performance of the hybrid silencer. Consequently, its high performance of 5${\sim}$10 dB noise reduction in the low frequency range was confirmed and it is expected to be very helpful in reducing the exhaust noise of marine diesel engine.

Audiovisual (AV) facilities such as TVs and signage are installed in various public places. However, audio cannot be used to prevent noise and interference from individuals, which results in a loss of concentration and understanding of AV content. To address this problem, a total technique for remotely listening to audio from audiovisual facilities with clean sound quality while maintaining video and lip-syncing through personal smart mobile devices is proposed in this paper. Through the experimental results, the proposed scheme has been verified to reduce system power consumption by 8% to 16% and provide real-time processing with a low latency of 120 ms. The system described in this paper will contribute to the activation of audio telehearing services as it is possible to provide audio remote services in various places, such as express buses, trains, wide-area and intercity buses, public waiting rooms, and various application services.

In this paper, planar harmonic rejection low-pass filter is proposed to effectively suppress spurious response in stop-band. For suppress the unwanted signal such as spurious and harmonics, we presented a new design method controlled the higher order modes. The proposed low-pass filter was shown to suppress the spurious response by more than $20{\sim}40dB$ compared with conventional microstrip low-pass filters. The filter is evaluated by experiment and simulation with good agreement and shown to have attractive properties such as wide stop band range and low insertion loss.

The effect of Reynolds number on the performance of a regenerative pump was examined in a low Reynolds number range in experiment. The head of the regenerative pump increased at low flow rates and decreased at high flow rates as the Reynolds number decreased. The computation of the internal flow was made to clarify the cause of the Reynolds number effect. At low flow rates, the head is decreased with increasing the Reynolds number due to the decrease of the shear force exerted by the impeller caused by the increase of leakage and hence local flow rate. At higher flow rates, the head is increased with increasing the Reynolds number with decreased loss at the inlet and outlet as well as the decreased shear stress on the casing wall.

Large-area high-temperature superconducting (HTS) films, filter design and damage-free processing technique have been developed to fabricate low insertion loss and sharp skirt filters. Further, long life cryocooler, low temperature low noise amplifier (LNA) and cryocable have been developed to assemble HTS filter subsystem for IS-95 and IMT-2000 mobile telecommunication. The surface resistance of the films was about 0.2 milli-ohm at 70 K, 12 GHz. An 11-pole HTS filter for IS-95 telecommunication system and a 16-pole HTS filter for IMT-2000 telecommunication system were designed and fabricated using 60 {\times}$ 50 mm$^2$ and one half of 3-inch diameter YBCO films on a 0.5-mm-thick MgO substrate, respectively. We have assembled the filter and low temperature LNA in a dewar with the cryocooler. Ultra low-noise (noise figure: 0.5 dB at 70 K) and ultra sharp-skirt (40 dB/1.5 MHz) performance was presented by the IS-95 filter subsystem and the IMT-2000 filter subsystem, respectively.

Consumer demand for high quality image/video services led to growing trend in image quality enhancement study. Therefore, recent years was a period of substantial progress in this research field. Through careful observation of the image quality after processing by image enhancement algorithms, we perceived that the dark region in the image usually suffered loss of contrast to a certain extent. In this paper, the low-light stretch preprocessing algorithm is, hence, proposed to resolve the aforementioned issue. The proposed approach is evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively against the well-known histogram equalization and Photoshop curve adjustment. The evaluation results validate the efficiency and superiority of the low-light stretch over the benchmarking methods. In addition, we also propose the 255MHz-capable hardware implementation to ease the process of incorporating low-light stretch into real-time imaging systems, such as aerial surveillance and monitoring with drones and driving aiding systems.
