In this paper, a Doppler radar for a localization of a human motion is demonstrated. In the system, we used a $8{\times}8$ phased array antenna using metamaterial phase shifters for easy and precise control of antenna beam pattern. Scanning area is a circular sector with an inscribed angle of $60^{\circ}$ and a diameter of 45m. This area is divided with 15 designated area and each area is scanned for 0.2 second. When there is a motion in a designated area, we are able to detect a frequency shift due to a Doppler effect. In this way it is possible to detect the location of motion. The experiment shows that 78% of position accuracy. The remaining 22% occurred the surroundings of the designated area.

위상 배열 초음파 기법을 이용한 국내 표준형 윈전 저압 터빈의 디스크 검사에 대하여 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 디스크 mockup을 제작하고 결함을 가공하였으며 결함에 대한 검출과 길이 측정 방법에 따른 결과를 고찰하였다. 깊이 측정에서 릴은 결함은 AATT(absolute arrival time technique)방법 혹은 RATT (relative arrival time technique)방법을 사용하여 깊이를 측정할 수 있었으나, 조기에 발견하여야 할 깊이가 깊지 않은 결함은 이와 같은 방법으로 깊이를 측정할 수 없었다. 이 경우 결함 신호가 나타나는 각도 범위를 이용하여 결함 깊이를 측정하였으며 유용한 도구임을 확인하였다.

The waveguide slotted active phased array radar is characterized in that the beam is tilt in a specific direction when the feeding position of the antenna is not in the center of the antenna. If the beam deflection phenomenon is not properly compensated, error bias is generated in the target information collected by the radar, and the target accuracy is lowered. In this paper, we describe a technique to compensate the error of the target information that is collected in the active phased array radar of the waveguide slot type instead of the center of the antenna.

This paper presents a true-time delay (TTD) using a commercial $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS process for wideband phased-array antennas without the beam squint. The proposed TTD consists of four wideband distributed gain amplifiers (WDGAs), a 7-bit TTD circuit, and a 6-bit digital step attenuator (DSA) circuit. The T-type attenuator with a low-pass filter and the WDGAs are implemented for a low insertion loss error between the reference and time-delay states, and has a flat gain performance. The overall gain and return losses are >7 dB and >10 dB, respectively, at 2 GHz-18 GHz. The maximum time delay of 198 ps with a 1.56-ps step and the maximum attenuation of 31.5 dB with a 0.5-dB step are achieved at 2 GHz-18 GHz. The RMS time-delay and amplitude errors are <3 ps and <1 dB, respectively, at 2 GHz-18 GHz. An output P1 dB of <-0.5 dBm is achieved at 2 GHz-18 GHz. The chip size is $3.3{\times}1.6mm^2$, including pads, and the DC power consumption is 370 mW for a 3.3-V supply voltage.

We propose 8.2-GHz band radar RFICs for an 8 × 8 phased-array frequency-modulated continuous-wave receiver developed using 65-nm CMOS technology. This receiver panel is constructed using a multichip solution comprising fabricated 2 × 2 low-noise amplifier phase-shifter (LNA-PS) chips and a 4ch RX front-end chip. The LNA-PS chip has a novel phase-shifter circuit for low-voltage operation, novel active single-to-differential/differential-to-single circuits, and a current-mode combiner to utilize a small area. The LNA-PS chip shows a power gain range of 5 dB to 20 dB per channel with gain control and a single-channel NF of 6.4 dB at maximum gain. The measured result of the chip shows 6-bit phase states with a 0.35° RMS phase error. The input P1 dB of the chip is approximately -27.5 dBm at high gain and is enough to cover the highest input power from the TX-to-RX leakage in the radar system. The gain range of the 4ch RX front-end chip is 9 dB to 30 dB per channel. The LNA-PS chip consumes 82 mA, and the 4ch RX front-end chip consumes 97 mA from a 1.2 V supply voltage. The chip sizes of the 2 × 2 LNA-PS and the 4ch RX front end are 2.39 mm × 1.3 mm and 2.42 mm × 1.62 mm, respectively.

저손실, 전자기 완전차폐, 고전력 특성을 갖는 기판집적 도파관(SIW)을 이용하여 X-band $8{\times}16$ 이중편파 능동 위상배열안테나 시스템을 구현하였다. 16-way SIW 전력분배 네트워크의 측정된 순수 삽입손실(0.65 dB)은 마이크로스트립 경우보다 1 dB 감소하였으며, SIW 부배열($1{\times}16$) 안테나 소자의 측정된 방사효율(73 %)은 약 2배(3 dB) 향상되었다. 이러한 SIW를 이용한 분배손실과 방사효율의 상당한 개선은 능동 위상 배열안테나 시스템에서 고전력 증폭기의 최대출력(P1 dB)을 저감하고, 총 전력소모를 약 30 % 절감할 것이다. SIW 기반으로 제작된 X-band $8{\times}16$ 이중편파 능동 위상 배열안테나 시스템을 이론적인 제어벡터만을 생성하여 0도, 5도, 9도, 18도의 정밀한(최대편차 2도) 빔 조향을 측정하였으며, 열주기/진공 시험에서 우주환경 적합성을 확인하였다. 고효율 SIW 배열안테나 시스템은 고성능 레이더는 물론 차세대 무선통신(5G)을 위한 Massive MIMO와 다양한 밀리미터파 통신시스템(60 GHz WPAN, 77 GHz 자동차 레이더, 초고속 디지털 전송시스템 등)에 매우 유용할 것으로 기대한다.

A dual-band dual-polarized microstrip antenna array for an advanced multi-function radio function concept (AMRFC) radar application operating at S and X-bands is proposed. Two stacked planar arrays with three different thin substrates (RT/Duroid 5880 substrates with $\varepsilon_r$=2.2 and three different thicknesses of 0.253 mm, 0.508 mm and 0.762 mm) are integrated to provide simultaneous operation at S band (3~3.3 GHz) and X band (9~11 GHz). To allow similar scan ranges for both bands, the S-band elements are selected as perforated patches to enable the placement of the X-band elements within them. Square patches are used as the radiating elements for the X-band. Good agreement exists between the simulated and the measured results. The measured impedance bandwidth (VSWR$\leq$2) of the prototype array reaches 9.5 % and 25 % for the S- and X-bands, respectively. The measured isolation between the two orthogonal polarizations for both bands is better than 15 dB. The measured cross-polarization level is ${\leq}-21$ dB for the S-band and ${\leq}-20$ dB for the X-band.

용접 오버레이법은 1980년 초반에 배관 용접부 결함의 임시 보수방법으로 미국발전소에 처음 사용되었다. 원자력발전소의 배관 오버레이 용접부는 초음파검사 기술을 이용하여 주기적으로 검사되어야 한다. 최근 위상배열 초음파 기술 발달로 휴대하기 좋은 소형 장비를 이용할 수 있게 되었다. 현재, 완화기법 및 또는 복잡한 형상의 검사체의 표면검사 조건을 개선하기 위한 선제적인 용접 오버레이 기법 적용이 일반적으로 사용되고 있다. 복합적인 형상(용접 오버레이, 기존 용접부 및 모재)의 적당한 검사를 위해서는 여러 개의 일반 초음파검사용 초점 탐촉자들이 필요하게 된다. 대안으로 위상배열 초음파 탐촉자는 일반 초음파검사 탐촉자와 비교하여 더 좋고 빠른 커버리지를 제공하기 위해 다양한 초점거리에서 여러 검사 각도를 동시에 발생시킬 수 있다. 그래서, 이 기술은 검사 속도 증가, 비용 절감, 방사선 피폭을 줄일 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 현장검사에서 검출된 PAUT 신호에 대한 신호 분석 결과를 설명하였다.

A mobile antenna for multimedia communications with Ku-band geostationary satellite KOREASAT-3 and JSAT-2A is presented. The forward link of the satellite communication is 11.7 to 12.75 GHz, and the return link is 14.0 to 14.5 GHz. The mobile antenna is designed to be a stair structure using 24 active phased array elements in order to provide a low profile, and to be at a non-periodic array distance using the genetic algorithm. Also, the designed antenna uses the double beam forming method for stable satellite tracking. The fabricated mobile antenna is examined using various experiments to confirm its capability for practical application. From the measured results, the fabricated mobile antenna system is confirmed to have a good performance.

This paper deals with extending the variable natural oscillation frequency range of an active integrated FET oscillator. In this paper, we conform experimentally that the variable range of the natural oscillation frequency is expanded about three times in the oscillator controlled by the varactor diode. When the frequency difference is given to the oscillators in the two element antenna system, phase difference appeared between the oscillators. The 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-element patch antenna arrays are composed for the beam scanning experiments. All the above patch antennas show good phased array characteristics. The range of the scanning angle is about $30^{\circ}$, and the radiation power is gradually increased from $50{\mu}W\;to\;200{\mu}W$. The radiation patterns we sharpened as the number of elements is increased.
