The MESFET can be used as a three-terminal varactor by employing gate depletion capacitance Cg. In this paper, a novel VCDRO(voltage controlled dielecric resonator oscillator) is designed to apply VCDRO with this concept. The VCDRO produced 6.33dBm output power at a frequency of 11.058GHz and tunning bandwidth of 45MHz. The advantage of using the MESFET as a three-terminal varactor is to let the MESFET play both roles at the same time, thus simplifying the circuit configuration and fabrication. This finding demonstrates the potential of using both real and imaginary parts of the equivalent impedance of the active device.

This paper introduces orthogonally multiplexed modulation and demodulation methods based on Wavelet Packet Bases and particularly describes Wavelet Packet Modulation (WPM) techniques that provide the designer of transmission signal set in time-frequency domain with tree structural information which can be adapted to given channel characterristics. Multi-dimensional signaling methods are also contrasted to common and different characteristics of conventional QAM. multi-tone modulation methods. The paper addresses the mothod how to find a best tree structure that has more adaptivity to impulse and narrowband tone pulse noises using a tunning algorithm which arbitrarily partitions the time-frequency space and makes a suitable orthogonal signaling waveforms. Simulation results exhibits a favorable performance over existing mod/demod methods specially for narrowband tone pulse and impulse interferences.

Based on fuzzy logic algorithm this paper constructed fuzzy logic controller for automated vehicles. For passenger's convenience especially comfortability controller need to reduce the frequency of input variable's changing. So we established membership functions for comfortability as mil as speed following. It made possible to control comfortability directly. To demonstration the efficiency of fuzzy logic controller, we carried out simulation with a Automobile's transfer function. First, we designed the PID controller by using Ziegler-Nichols tunning method. Second, we calculated time response for each controller, then we compared the speed patterns of fuzzy controlled system and PID controlled system. Also we compared the difference of input variable. By comparing two controller's response, we can confirm the merit of fuzzy controller about comfortability. Fuzzy controller can reduce input changing frequency.

Based on the facts that significant parts of the harbor response spectrum usually reside in the vicinity of the Helmholtz mode in the eastern part of Korea. economically feasible redemption measures of seiches for malfunctioned harbors already in service is proposed by extending the wisdom of perforated breakwaters and adjusting the width of entrance channel as a control tool. It turns out that as the entrance channel is getting narrower, the harbor system is getting slender due to the increase of added hydrodynamic length so that harbor response can be effectively diminished and separated from the incident wave spectrum where considerable amount of wave energy is located at the lower frequency range.

The study of Cochlear biomechanics is to clearly define three biomechanical principles of the Cochlea : Activity, Nonlinearity and Feedback. In this article, the Cochlea is linearly and actively modelled in one dimensional time domain. The sharp tunning of the Basilar Membrane displacement is shown when the amplifying activity of hair cells is added to the model. The amplified energy of the travelling displacement wave is emitted throughout the Cochlear fluid, so that the model becomes unstable. A new technique is introduced to reduce strong echos fro the Helicotrema. It makes the model less unstable. Both pure and click tones are used as input stimuli onto the ear durm. When the model is normal, the click response of the model shows that the backward emission of the amplified fluid pressure has mainly the echos from the Helicotrema. However, when the linear and active model is assumed to be abnormal, that is, some of hair cells are damaged not to produce the active process, the effect of the hair cell damage is resulted in the Oto-acoustic emission. The frequency response of the abnormally emitted sound pressure shows that the Oto-acoustic emission has the information about the characteristic frequency of the damaged hair cell. The main aim of this paper is to demonstrate the active biomechanics of the Chchlea in the time domain.

This paper presents a Ka-band FMCW sensor that has high linearity by improving a nonlinear behavior of the voltage controlled oscillator. Due to the nonlinear characteristics of the voltage controlled oscillator for the conventional method, the drift of beat frequency can cause inaccuracy and errors to the extracted results. A Ka-band FMCW signal with fast transition time could be generated by using both direct digital synthesizer and phase locked loop in this research. The implemented FMCW sensor showed very high accuracy in beat frequency through the test.

This paper proposed a tunable band pass filter. It is two-poles direct capacitive coupled resonator band pass filter which the capacitors of parallel resonators are changed by varactor diodes. The DC bias controls to change the value of capacitance in the parallel resonator for tunning the pass band. To validate the proposed design method, we fabricated the band pass filter which has tunable center frequency from 200MHz to 245MHz.

In this paper, we design a high stable Ku-band phase-locked dielectric resonant microwave oscillator with the gate voltage controls of p-HEMT. By adapting the nonlinear equivalent elements which affects phase noise of microwave oscillator, we optimize the nonlinear elements of p-HEMT to have low phase noise operation. Using the scattering parameters according to bias voltages, we designed the gate voltage control microwave dielectric resonant oscillator and phase-locked loop circuits is applied to have the high stable operations. Designed microwave oscillator as a local oscillator of digital microwave communication shows that output power is 9.17dBm at 10.75GHz and it's phase noise is -88dBc/Hz at 10KHz offset frequency.

Passive vibration control devices like tuned liquid column dampers (TLCD) not only significantly reduce buildings' vibrations but also can serve as a water storage facility. The recently introduced modified form of TLCD known as tuned liquid column ball damper (TLCBD) suppressed external vibration efficiently compared to traditional TLCD. For excellent performance, the mass ratio of TLCBD should be in the range of 5% to 7%, which does not include the mass of the ball. This additional mass of the ball increases the overall structure mass. Therefore, in this paper, an effort is made to reduce the mass of TLCBD. For this purpose, a new modified version of TLCBD known as tuned liquid column hollow ball damper (TLCHBD) is proposed. The existing mathematical modeling of TLCBD is used for this new damper by updating the numerical values of the mass and mass moment of the ball. Analytically the optimal design parameters are obtained. Numerically the TLCHBD is investigated with a single degree of freedom structure under harmonic and seismic loadings. It is found that TLCHBD performance is similar to TLCBD in both loadings' cases. To validate the numerical results, an experimental study is conducted. The mass of the ball of TLCHBD is reduced by 50% compared to the ball of TLCBD. Both the arrangements are studied with a multi-degree of freedom structure under harmonic and seismic loadings using a shake table. The results of the experimental study confirm the numerical findings. It is found that the performance behavior of both the dampers is almost similar under harmonic and seismic loadings. In short, the TLCHBD is lighter in weight than TLCBD but has a similar vibration suppression ability.
