In this paper, we design an optimized planar array structure with triangular lattice for side-lobe reduction using a genetic algorithm. A constraint optimization is implemented by optimally removing some outer array elements far from the array center. It is shown that only the proper array shape without optimizing the magnitudes and phases of each array antenna can give low side-lobe level with a slight main beam broadening.

In this letter, we propose a novel design scheme for an optimal non-uniform planar array geometry in view of maximum side-lobe reduction. This is implemented by a thinned array using a genetic algorithm. We show that the proposed method can maintain a low side-lobe level without pattern distortion during beam steering.

In this paper, we design an optimal planar array geometry for maximum side-lobe reduction. The concept of thinned array is applied to obtain an optimal two dimensional(2-D) planar array structure. First, a 2-D rectangular array with uniform spacing is used as an initial planar array structure. Next, we modify the initial planar array geometry with the aid of thinned array theory in order to reduce the maximum side-lobe level. This is implemented by a genetic algorithm under some constraint, minimizing the maximum side-lobe level of the 2-D planar array. It is shown that the optimized planar array structure can achieve low side-lobe level without optimizing the excitations of the array antennas.

In this paper, we compared the performance of the Kaiser window with those of others as a weight function of well known anodization technique for regression of side lobe in a field pattern resulted from focusing of transducer array. The Kaiser window is an window providing many types of curve with several variables. In order to compare performance of the Kaiser window as the weight function, anodization results of the previously used Hamming window function and the Matched Gaussian function are compared Result of computer simulation, the pertormance of Kaiser window with $\delta$=0.0025 in side lobe regression was better than that of Hamming window or Matched Gausian function.

Problems of overlap errors and side-lobe printing by the design rule reduction in the lithography process using attenuated phase-shifting masks(attPSM) have been serious. Overlap errors and side-lobes can be simultaneously solved by the rule-based correction using scattering bars with the rules extracted from test patterns. Process parameters affecting the attPSM lithography simulation have been determined by the fitting method to the process data. Overlap errors have been solved applying the correction rules to the metal patterns overlapped with contact/via. Moreover, the optimal insertion rule of the scattering bars has made it possible to suppress the side-lobes and to get additional pattern fidelity at the same time.

개구 합성 레이더(SAR)는 지형의 고 해상도의 영상을 획득하는데 주로 사용된다. 본 논문은 X-band 주파수 대역의 차량 탑재형 개구 합성 레이더(automobile-based SAR) 시스템에 적용하기 위한 $16{\times}16$ 배열 안테나의 설계 및 제작에 관한 것이다. 본 논문에서 구현된 안테나는 레이돔, 방사체, 슬롯, 급전 구조 그리고 허니콤과 같은 여러 층의 구조로 되어 있으며 각 층들은 구조적인 그리고 전기적인 측면의 설계 요구 조건들을 만족하기 위하여 결합되어 있다. Strip-Slot-Foam-Inverted-Patch(SSFIP) 구조와 허니콤을 사용하여 넓은 동작 주파수 대역폭과 기구적인 안정성을 만족하였다. 측정 결과와 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교 분석하였으며 본 논문에서 설계한 안테나는 1.7 GHz의 동작 주파수 대역폭과 20 dB 미만의 side-lobe level, 각각 $5^{\circ}$의 빔 폭과 25 dBi의 이득을 가졌으며 측정된 결과는 광대역 SAR 시스템에 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 도체 판 대신 인공 자기 도체를 반사판으로 이용하여 방사 특성이 개선되고 두께를 줄인 PCS용 기지국 안테나 구조를 제안하였다. 반사판으로 도체 판을 사용하는 기존 기지국 안테나의 경우, 도체 판 끝부분에서 기생 방사가 발생하고 이는 안테나의 후방사를 증가시켜 기지국 안테나의 방사 특성을 악화시킨다. 하지만 인공 자기 도체를 사용하면 표면에서의 높은 임피던스에 의해 표면파가 억압되어 후방사를 크게 줄일 수 있다. 그리고 부엽 특성도 개선되어 서비스 지역이 겹치는 문제를 막을 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 인공 자기 도체 표면에서의 $0^{\circ}$ 반사 위상에 의해 기지국 안테나의 두께를 또한 줄일 수 있다.

To obtain a high resolution microwave images, back scattering microwave fields from one, two, four poles on a rotating object is measured. A computation algorithm to reconstruct these poles images from measured data is programed. The program is tested for these poles on a rotating object for different frequency intervals in the X-Band. The more frequency data yield the reduction of side lobe level. The reconstructed image for the two pole objects having the diameter of 1cm and separated by 1 lamda, 2 lamda (lamda-3.75 cm) from the measured data is shown. And, the image of two objects having the different reflectivity coefficient from the measured data is also shown and it assumes that this reconstructing algorithm from the measured angular spectrum provides quite accurate images.

Synthetic Aperture Radars(SAR) are used mainly for high-resolution imaging of the terrain. This paper describes the 16$\times$16 array antenna designed for an X-band, automobile-based SAR(AutoSAR) system. This antenna has the structure of several layers such as radome, radiators, slots, feed network, and honeycomb cores. Each layer is adhesively bonded to meet different combination of structural and electrical design requirements. Using the Strip-Slot-Foam-Inverted-Patch(SSFIP) structure and dogbone slots, a wide bandwidth and a structural hardness were achieved. Measurement results were compared with simulation results. It was observed that the SAR antenna had a bandwidth of 1.7 GHz, side-lobe levels of less than -20 dB, half-power beamwidth of 5$^{\circ}$, and gains of 25.0 dBi. The observed results show that the designed array antenna is suitable for the broadband AutoSAR system.

Recently, STS 301L joints of side panels to frames for stainless steel rolling stock have been made out by using existing welding methods including Resistance Spot Welding, Laser Welding and Arc Welding. Most of the processes were jointed by spot welding because it is faster at welding and comparatively less expensive for investment in welding facilities than other methods. During spot welding, however, indentation of the metal surface was made due to pressure and melting property of welding. Moreover, since the melting metal was forced to periphery of the plate as indentation was made, sheet separation, which cracked apart between jointed sheets, was carried out. A slight deformation which resulted from sheet separation deteriorated the emotional quality of railway vehicles. This paper suggests that by processing conventional spot electrode tip appropriately, melting metal is able to push up around the processed part (Hollow Spot Electrode Tip) and prevent from being dislodged from first place to periphery. Consequently, sheet separation is remarkably decreased. Also, the emotional quality of appearance of stainless steel rolling stock is enhanced considerably.
