The radiation characteristics of a microstrip circularly-polarized aperture-patch $8\times8$ array antenna are investigated at X-band. The radiator consists of a truncated square aperture on the ground plane with an inclined rectangular patch inside, and it is coupled by a microstrip line on the opposite side of the ground. The element spacing of the array was chosen as $0.8\lambda_0$so as to minimize the mutual coupling and maximize the gain. A corporate feed network was employed to distribute the power to each element through four Wilkinson and two T-junction dividers. Measurement results for the $8\times8$ array at 10 GHz showed a directivity of 26.3 dBi, a gain of 22.2 dBi, an axial ratio of 2.97 dB, and a side lobe level of -12.7dB. It was observed that when the array size increases, the directivity increases while the efficiency decreases.

This study was to investigate the anatomical evidence of anxiety. MRI was used to study 11 patients with panic disorder and 15 patients with complex partial seizure, and 21 controls. The regions of interest in the MRI were measured with computer-assisted planimetry using the AutoCad and digitizer. The following results were obtained ; 1) The mean age was 49.7(12.4) years in patients with panic disorder and 30.1(7.5) years in patients with complex partial seizure. 2) There were na signi ficant differences between 3 groups in the values of cerebral area, temporal lobe, caudate nucleus, hippocampus, parahippocampus, amygdala, third ventricle and VBR. The right parahippocampal region which attracted most attention in neurobiological studies regarding anxiety, tended to be larger in both study groups compared to the control group, but with no statistical significance. 3) There was lett-right reversal of temporal lobes in both study groups. And these are mainly due to asymmetrical increase in area of the temporal lobe on right side. These results suggest that temporal lobe, especially right temporal, is the anatomical correspondence of anxiety and functional activation of temporo-limbic system may be accompanied by the structural change of temporal lobe.

Anterior temporal lobectomy has become a widely used resective surgery in patients with medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsies. Prerequisites of this resection include the accurate localization of the epileptogenic focus and the determination that the proposed resection would not result in unacceptable postoperative memory or language deficits. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of ictal SPECT compared to MRI findings for localization of epiletogenic foci in this group of patients. 11 patients who had been anterior temporal lobectomy were evaluated with ictal $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO SPECT and MRI. MRI showed 8/11(73%) concordant lesion to the side of surgery and ictal SPECT also showed 8/11(73%) concordant hyperperfusion. In 3 cases with incorrect or nonlocalizing findings of MRI, ictal SPECT showed concordant hyperperfusion. In 2 cases confirmed by pre-resectional invasive EEG, MRI showed bilateral and contralateral lesion but ictal SPECT showed concordant hyperperfusion. 3 delayed injection of ictal SPECT showed discordant hyperperfusion. Thus, ictal SPECT was a useful method for localizing epileptogenic foci in temporal lobe epilepsis and appeared complementay to MRI.

The 4 by 4 microstrip phased array antenna designed and radiation characteristics are studied. The design frequency was chosen to be 5.8GHz. Chebyshev ratio was achieved by unequal power divider and Wilkinson power divider. The ratio of current at each port is 1 : 2.6 : 2.6 : 1 and then side lobe level is less than -30 dB. It is shown that the radiation beam direction can be changed up to 30。 by control the phase at each port. The result can be used to design electrically controllable microwave scanning antennas.

33-year old female was admitted chest surgery department for evaluation of mild chest pain. Chest plain film showed right anterior mediastinal mass and small metastatic daughter mass ipsilateral side. Exploratory thoracotomy was performed 24th Aug. 83 revealed that small nodular parenchymal mass at right middle lobe and large cystic mass at anterior mediastinum which was connected with anterior mediastinal fat. Histological examination confirmed diagnosis as pulmonary hamartoma and thymic cyst individually. We successfully treated these two masses by wedge resection and excision. Although postoperative course was uneventful, the cause and associated relationship between two tumor origin were obscure.

We design a circular microstrip array antenna using the admittance of circular resonator. We can design the array antenna, considering equivalent radius of circular microstdrip consistant with conductances which are obtained from excitation coefficeients of the array elements. The antenna with 10 array elements are made on teflon substrate from Tshebyscheff method. It's perfermence are the gain 8.9dB, half power beam width 11.3dge, max, side lobe level -19dB, and they are almost in agreement with the theoretical results.

Frequency responses of the surface acoustic wave(SAW) filters are simulated by using the impulse modeling. The simulation technique of the SAW filters is to use the Fourier transformation to make a correspondence between the impulse response of the filter and the taps in the delay line. Since the Fourier series must be truncated after a finite number of terms, window functions are often used to weight the coefficients to obtain the desirable side-lobe level and bandwidth. The filter design is operated through the iterative simulation procedures. The design process is capable of yielding filters with optimized frequency response characteristics.

이동통신 시스템에서 데이터, 음성, 영상신호를 효율적으로 전송하기 위해 위상 배열 안테나(Phased-Array Antenna： PAA)에 관한 연구가 최근 국내외적으로 활발히 진행되고 있다. 광통신 기술을 이용한 PAA용 실시간 지연선로 (True Time-Delay： TTD)는 넓은 대역폭, 저 손실, 전자파 간섭에 무관, 소형화, 특히 ‘beam squintr´ 현상이 없는 장점이 있기 때문에 각광을 받고 있다. 특히, 신호의 간섭을 줄이기 위해 안테나 방사 패턴의 부엽 (side lobe)의 크기를 감소시킬 수 있는 안테나 설계기술이 필요하다.

WDM optical communication system requires wavelength division multiplexing, reverse multiplexing and optical filter. OADM is a device that can separate or combine specific wavelength of channel from the transmission line. This paper suggests OADM that uses 2 steps FBG based on MZI structure. The OADM that uses 2 steps FBG can minimize the system size and reduce the value of side lobe remarkably. The results obtained in this paper can be used for design and application of OADM that uses 2 steps FBG.

We improve the free-space optical interconnection efficiency by using circular aperture computer-generated hologram (CGH). In free-space optical interconnection system using CGH, the single CGH is composed of sub-CGHs, which can change the direction of input beams to desired output positions, by Fourier transform. Each sub-CGH is rectangular shape, so the input beams through each sub-CGH are transformed to sinc functions in output plane. The side lobes of each sinc function are superimposed in output plane and they result in detection error in output plane, so the detection efficiency is low. We use the circular shaped sub-CGHs in order to reduce the side lobe value in output plane instead of rectangular shaped sub-CGHs. The each input beam is transformed to first-order Bessel functions through circular shaped sub-CGHs in output plane. The side lobes of first-order Bessel functions us low values compared with side lobes of sinc function, so we can improve the detection efficiency in output plane. We use binary phase modulated CGH, and confirm this improvement results by simulation.
