In this paper, a study on beam synthesis technique of conformal array was performed. It is applied to various radar systems that can perform beam steering without deterioration of performance due to beam steering in a general linear arrangement. Unlike the beam synthesis technique in the planar linear array, the conformal array has a radiation element located on a curved surface, so it is necessary to compensate for a difference in length from the radaation element to the wave front surface. In addition, by calculating the offset angle for each radiation element and applying it during actual synthesis, it was possible to predict an accurate beam pattern. In this paper, length compensation and offset angle were calculated and applied to beam pattern synthesis to perform beam pattern comparison, and performance was compared through mathematical analysis.

In this paper, a shaped offset gregorian antenna is electrically designed for Ku band FSS antennas of the domestic communications and broadcasting satellite which will be launched in the near future. For this, a design procedure for shaped offset gregorian antennas is described in detail, and a satellite antenna is designed by using the described design procedure. The radiation characteristics of the designed antenna are evaluated and compared with the design goals. The designed antenna is found to have 1.2$^{\circ}C$ beamwidth, 38.57 dBi EOC gain, and 43.19 dBi gain at Tx frequency 12.25 GHz and 1.08$^{\circ}$ beamwidth, 38.12 dBi EOC gain, and 44.11 dBi gain at Rx frequency 14.0 GHz. And also, side lobe levels and cross-polarization levels are less than -30 dB and -33 dB, respectively. From these results the designed antenna is found to be able to use for the domestic satellite FSS antennas.

In this paper, the design of longitudinal shunt slot array monopulse antenna in the broad wall of waveguide for Ka band millimeter-wave seeker, Dip-Brazing method for fabrication and experiment results are presented. The proposed antenna consists of radiating slots by using Elliot's array synthesis procedure, probe-exciting feed structure for improving the return loss bandwidth and monopulse comparator. Element weigthings in the array have been calculated by continuous Taylor aperture distribution. Also, the simulation tool has been used to characterize the individual isolated slot, which has subsequently been used in Elliot's method to design the slot array efficiently. The designed antenna is fabricated using Dip-Brazing method. The gain of measured antenna is 28.4 dBi. Antenna beamwidth and side lobe levels are similar to the design result we expect.

In this paper, development of the monopulse secondary surveillance radar antenna which can be used for IFF system is presented. This antenna that is passive linear array is comprised of the row-feeder and several array-elements. The row-feeder provides sum, different and SLS(Sidelobe Supression) channels which are optimized the distribution of the power and phase ratio. The azimuthe sidelobe level of the sum channel beam pattern is -20 dBc or less. The SLS channel covers the sidelobe of the sum-chanel in the whole azimuth angle range. And the difference channel is used to perform the mono-pulse function, improves the detection accuracy in the azimuth direction. Meanwhile, the arrayelement makes shaped beam in the elevation angle, in order to eliminate the clutter and multipath effects from the ground. Performance of the antenna developed is verified by the measurement of S-parameters and far-field beam pattern, and satisfies all of the development specifications well.

In this paper, we propose an electrically tilting system based on a null-steering in order to solve the problem of the shadowing loss caused by the mechanically tilted antenna system in mobile services. Especially, we improve the downward shadowing loss by eliminating or moving the vertical beampattern nulls between $-30^{\circ}{\sim}0^{\circ}$ to be able to tilt the downward beampattern between $-10^{\circ}{\sim}0^{\circ}$. The antenna has 14.5 dBi gain and side lobe level (SLL) is lower than -18 dB within downward tilting range. The isolation of polarization is greater than 30 dB when running in electric tilt down to $-10^{\circ}$. To verify this paper, we made the base-station antenna for W-CDMA and beam tilting devices, and verified the performances.

In this paper, we proposed an algorithm that used a direct method to set an initial value of Broydon-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno(BFGS) method and, accordingly, conducted an experiment in optimal directivity synthesis of adaptive ultrasonic transducer by point source array. To certify the efficiency of this method, quasi-ideal beam with arbitrary beam width, rotating beam, and multi beam, all with the limited side lobe level -30dB, were chosen to check the problem of directivity synthesis that was formed by point source array in the second dimensional sound field. The numerical calculation results showed that the proposed method performed the directivity synthesis faster than the BFGS method did. In addition, the proposed method showed a good error correction for directivity synthesis, and did not demand the choice of initial value. Finally, it is also shown that the proposed method can be used for the adaptive control that was not possible with the direct method alone.

In this paper, we designed axis-displaced Gregorian antenna by using Ray-tracing method. This antenna improves gain, VSWR by rotating the axis of the sub-reflector to get rid of E-field wave returned from sub-reflector to feed horn. Therefore it reduce the sub-reflector size and the volume of antenna. This method is used to track the propagation path for radiation pattern of feed horn from feed horn to sub-reflector, main-reflector and air. We get E-field distribution of this antenna aperture and calculate antenna radiation pattern and optimize the antenna performance. The Ray-tracing Method was verified because the gain, radiation patterns, side lobe level, beam width and return loss of the designed antenna are very similar to CST simulation result and a measured result of the fabricated antenna.

We propose novel OCDMA system with the structure of reconfigurable may encoder/decoder(RAE/ RAD), which are able to reallocate the 2-D optical codes to each subscriber and recover the transmitted data at all the receiving nodes. We have first implemented the double hard limiters composed of limiting amplifier(first hard limiter) that maintain a level of the encoded data from receiving node and AND detector(second hard limiter) for detecting the position of the encoded data and recovering the data. With the proposed system, it was successfully implemented to recover a specific channel data out of 16 code-multiplxed channels using FPGA and 4 DFB-LDs having distinct wavelengths. From experimental results, the code length resulted from increasing the number of the simultaneously connected channels has been reduced by using 2-D OCDMA multiplexed in time and wavelength instead of 1-D OCDMA. In addition, bit errors phenomenon on account of deterioration of autocorrelation peak-to-side lobe ratio is enhanced by using the double hard limiters composed of AND detector and limiting amplifiers.

Congenital unilateral agenesis of pulmonary artery is a rare anomaly and it usually occurs in association with other cardiac anomaly such as tetralogy of Fallot. Since most patients affected by this defect without associated congenital cardiac anomaly or pulmonary Infection are asymptomatic, the clinical diagnosis of this anomal is first recognized by a characteristic pattern in chest roentgenogram taken as a routine checking; the findings on chest film consists of cardiac and mediastinal displacement, absence of the pulmonary arterial shadow, smaller hemithorax, and elevationof the hemidiaphragm, all on the affected side. We experienced rlght pulmonary artery agenesis in a 48 year-old male, who complained of massive hemoptysis, and it was diagnosed by digital subtraction pulmonary arteriogram and perfusin scan, and treated by right middle and lower lobe bi-lobectomy, and we report this case with the review of relevant literatures.
