Seismograms are composed of 3 characteristics, that is, seismic source, attenuation, and site amplification. Among them, site amplification characteristics should be considered significantly to estimate seismic source and attenuation characteristics with more confidence. This purpose of this study is to estimate the site amplification characteristics at each site using horizontal to vertical (H/V) spectral ratio method. This method, originally proposed by Nakamura (1989), has been applied to study the surface waves in microtremor records. It has been recently extended to the shear wave energy of strong motion and applied to the study of site amplification. This study analyzed the H/V spectral ratio of 6 ground motions respectively using observed data from 4 sites nearby in Yedang Reservoir. And then, site amplification effects at each site, from 3 kinds of seismic energies, that is, S waves, Coda waves energy, and background noise were compared each other. The results suggested that 4 sites showed its own characteristics of site amplification property in specific resonance frequency ranges (YDS: ~11 Hz, YDU: ~4 Hz, YDD: ~7 Hz). Comparison of this study to other studies using different analysis method can give us much more information about dynamic amplification of domestic sites characteristics and site classification.

Actual maritime exercise for improving the capability of submarine sonar operator leads to a lot of cost and constraints. Sonar simulator maximizes the capability of sonar operator and training effect by solving these problems and simulating a realistic battlefield environment. In this study, a passive sonar simulator algorithm is suggested, where the simulator is divided into three modules: maneuvering module, noise source module, and sound propagation module. Maneuvering module is implemented in three-dimensional coordinate system and time interval is set as the rate of vessel changing course. Noise source module consists of target noise, ocean ambient noise, and self noise. Target noise is divided into modulated/unmodulated and narrowband/broadband signals as their frequency characteristics, and they are applied to ship radiated noise level depending on the vessel tonnage and velocity. Ocean ambient noise is simulated depending on the wind noise considering the waveguide effect and other ambient noise. Self noise is also simulated for flow noise and insertion loss of sonar-dome. The sound propagation module is based on ray propagation, where summation of amplitude, phase, and time delay for each eigen-ray is multiplied by target noise in the frequency domain. Finally, simulated results based on various scenarios are in good agreement with generated noise in the real ocean.

For more reliable estimation of seismic source, attenuation properties and dynamic ground property, site amplification function should be considered. Among various estimation methods, this study used the Nakamura's method (1989) for estimating site amplification characteristics. This method was originally applied to the surface waves of background noise and therefore there are some limitations in applying to general wave energy. However, recently this method has been extended and applied to the S wave energy successfully. This study applied the method to S wave and Coda wave energy, which is equivalent to the backscattered S wave energy. We used more than 60 observed ground motions from 5 earthquakes which were occurred recently, with magnitude range from 3.6 to 5.1. Each station showed characteristic site amplification property in low-, high- and resonance frequencies. Some of the stations showed as high as 4 times of site amplification in the range of specific frequencies, which may imply abnormal small scale geologic strata below the station or development of various trapped modes in the basin structure. Moreover, removal of site amplification can give us more reliable seismic source and attenuation parameters, addition to the seismic hazard estimation.

Mathematical modeling of focal plane compensation device in the small earth-observation satellite camera has been conducted experimently for compensation of micro-vibration disturbance. The PZT actuators are used as control actuators for compensation device. It is quite difficult to build up mathematical model because of hysteresis characteristic of PZT actuators. Therefore, the compensation device system is assumed as a $2^{nd}$ order linear system and modeled by using MATLAB System Identification Toolbox. It has been found that four linear models of compensation device are needed to meet 10% error in the input frequency range of 0~50Hz. These models describe accurately the dynamics of compensation device in the 4 divided domains of the input frequency range of 0~50Hz, respectively. Micro-vibration disturbance can be compensated by feedback control strategy of switching four models appropriately according to the input frequency.

This study evaluated a digital locking device design using detection distance of 13.4mm of a human body sensing type magnetic field coil. In contrast to digital locking devices that are used nowadays, the existing serial number entering buttons, lighting, number cover, corresponding pcb, exterior case, and data delivery cables have been deleted and are only composed of control ON/OFF power switches and emergency terminals. When the magnetic field coil substrates installed inside the inner case detects the electric resistance delivered from the opposite side of the 12mm interval exterior contacting the glass body part, the corresponding induced current flows. At this time, the magnetic field coil takes the role as a sensor when coil frequency of the circular coil is transformed. The magnetic coil as a sensor detects a change in the oscillation frequency output before and after the body is detected. This is then amplified to larger than 2,000%, transformed into digital signals, and delivered to exclusive software to compare and search for embedded data. The detection time followed by the touch area of the body standard to a $12.8{\emptyset}$ magnetic field coil was 30% contrast at 0.08sec and 80% contrast at 0.03sec, in which the detection distance was 13.4mm, showing the best level.

There are various types of real world signals. For example, an electrocardiogram(ECG) represents myocardium activities (contraction and relaxation) according to the beating of the heart. ECG can be expressed as the fluctuation of ampere ratings over time. A signal is a composite of various types of signals. An orchestra (which boasts a beautiful melody) consists of a variety of instruments with a unique frequency; subsequently, each sound is combined to form a perfect harmony. Various research on how to to decompose mixed stationary signals have been conducted. In the case of non-stationary signals, there is a limitation to use methodologies for stationary signals. Huang et al. (1998) proposed empirical mode decomposition(EMD) to deal with non-stationarity. EMD provides a data-driven approach to decompose a signal into intrinsic mode functions according to local oscillation through the identification of local extrema. However, due to the repeating process in the construction of envelopes, EMD algorithm is not efficient and not robust to a noise, and its computational complexity tends to increase as the size of a signal grows. In this research, we propose a new method to extract a local oscillation embedded in a signal by utilizing the second derivative.

Selection or generation of appropriate input ground motion is very important in performing a dynamic analysis. In Korea, it is a common practice to use recorded strong ground motions or artificial motions. The recorded motions show non-stationary characteristics, which is a distinct property of all earthquake motions, but have the problem of not matching the design response spectrum. The artificial motions match the design spectrum, but show stationary characteristics. This study generated ground motions that preserve the non-stationary characteristics of a real earthquake motion, but also matches the design spectrum. In the process, an impulse function-based algorithm that adjusts a given time series in time domain such that it matches the target response spectrum is used. Application of the algorithm showed that it can successfully adjust any recorded motions to match the target spectrum and also preserve the non-stationary characteristics. The modified motions are used to perform a series of nonlinear site response analyses. It is shown that the results using the adjusted motions result in more reliable estimates of ground vibration. It is thus recommended that the newly adjusted motions be used in practice instead of original recorded motions.

최근 하천의 유사 중 소류사량을 계측하기 위해 사용된 기존의 물리적 소류사 샘플러를 이용한 직접계측방법은 홍수 시에 깊은 수위와 빠른 유속, 계측 절차상의 위험성 때문에 현장관측이 매우 어려운 한계를 극복하기 위해 현업에서는 소류사량을 간접적으로 추정하는 이론식에 의한 방법이 광범위하게 활용되고 있으나 이 방법 또한 추정이론식의 적용지역, 적용방법에 따라 결과가 수십배 이상 큰 차이를 나타나 실제 활용성에 대한 문제점이 있다. 이러한 기존의 소류사량 측정 방법의 문제점을 보완하기 위해 소류사량을 간접계측하는 방법이 활발히 제안되고 있다. 대표적인 방법으로 하상 이동 시 소류사의 충돌음을 음향센서로 계측하여 신호처리를 통해 소류사량을 추정하는 계측기기인 하이드로폰이 있다. 그러나 국외의 소류사량 간접계측 장치는 소류사량의 운송량이 많을 경우 음향신호 중접으로 인해 펄스 수의 감소, 감지 가능한 입경크기의 제한 등의 문제가 있다. 또한 국내의 백무평(2018)이 제안한 소류사 분석 방법인 대역통과방법(B-P Method)는 소류사량 추정에 있어서 기존의 방법과는 달리 주파수 특성을 반영하여 이전 연구들에 비하여 펄스 검출률을 향상시겼지만 이 방법은 극히 낮은 저유속과 작은 입경이라는 실험조건에서 이루어졌다는 제한사항이 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 다양한 입경과 고유속에 대하여 소류사량을 정량화할 수 있는 방법을 제시하기 위해 소류사 입경이 하이드로폰에 충돌할 때 발생하는 단독입자의 충돌음을 계측하기 위한 실외 수로실험장치를 구축하여 계측을 수행하였다. 실험은 현장에서 대표 시료로 분류된 몇 가지 입경에 대해서 유량 변화에 따른 충돌음향과 소류사량 그리고 소류사 입경크기에 따른 하이드로폰에서 인지되는 음향 특성을 계측 및 분석하였다. 연구결과 입경 크기 및 수리조건 변화에 따른 하이드로폰의 충돌음향 특성을 파악하여 단일 입경별 소류사량 추정관계식을 산출하였다. 또한 산출된 추정 관계식의 특성치와 공급 소류사량 간의 관계를 유도해 보았다. 향후 혼합입경에 대한 실험과 추정 관계식 신뢰성 검토 후 추가적으로 다양한 실험조건을 고려하여 실제 하천에 운송되는 소류사량과의 교정관계 확립을 진행한다면 국내 소류사량 데이터 수집을 위한 현장 설치까지 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, by applying LTCC substrate, the library of the passive elements is implemented. And it can be used in 24 GHz circuits. Depending on how to use it to the circuit, it is required large value by designing the basic structures such as electrode capacitor and spiral inductor. However they are not available in high-frequency domain, because their SRF(Self-Resonant Frequency) is lower than the frequency of 24-GHz. By solving the limit, this paper devised passive elements classified for the DC and the high-frequency domain. The basic structure is suitable for low frequency under 1~2 GHz like DC. The microstrip λ/8 length stub structure is proposed to use for high-frequency like 24-GHz. The open and short stub structure operate as a capacitor and inductor respectively, also they have their impedances. Through their impedances, we can extract the value with the impedance-related equation. In this paper, the proposed passive elements are produced with the permittivity 7.5 LTCC substrate, the basic structure which are available in the DC constituted a library of capacitance of 2.35 to 30.44 pF and inductance of 0.75 to 5.45 nH, measured respectively. The stub structure available in the high-frequency domain were built libraries of capacitance of 0.44 to 2.89 pF and inductance of 0.71 to 1.56 nH, calculated respectively. The measurements have proven how to diversify value, so libraries can be built more variously. It will be an alternative to the passive elements that it is possible to integrate with the operation circuit of radar module for the frequency 24-GHz.

In this paper, we propose an automatic modulation classification method for ten digitally modulated baseband signals, such as 2-FSK, 4-FSK, 8-FSK, MSK, BPSK, QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-QAM, 32-QAM, and 64-QAM based on higher order statistics of cyclostationary process. The first order cyclic moments and higher order cyclic cumulants of the signal are used as features of the modulation signals. The proposed method consists of two stages. At the first stage, we classify modulation signals as M-FSK and non-FSK using peaks of the first order cyclic moment. At the next step, we apply the Gaussian mixture model-based classifier to classify non-FSK. Simulation results are demonstrated to evaluate the proposed scheme. The results show high probability of classification even in the presence of frequency and phase offsets.
