A lens which is one of cores for the high precision laser range finder is utilized to compute the distance by measuring the phase displacement. In order to measure the phase displacement, we transmit the optical signal from the laser diode to a target and receive the reflected laser light from the target. In this paper, we propose new lens design technique to solve the problem due to the inconsistent curvature of the lens, which consistently collects optical signals and performs the transmission and reception of the optical data, and test the implementation of the laser range finder based on the proposed technique. Since the proposed laser range finder has low error rate comparing to the conventional techniques, it may be apply to the high precision distance measurement.

The phase delay of output signal of APD(avalanche photo diode) caused by intensity of reflected light which comes from target. These difference of phase delay is an one of the main reason of measurement error, but there is no reasonable measurement meter and method to detect it. In this paper, to solve the problem, we propose and implement a method to measure the intensity of radiation. The method measures DC voltage which is proportional to the reflected intensity of radiation and come out from APD in receiver by realtime.

This technical paper describes the analysis results of telemetry data for the initial activation of star trackers for an agile high accuracy low earth orbit satellite. The satellite was recently launched and is in the Launch and Early Operation Phases. It uses two SED36 star trackers manufactured by SODERN. The star tracker is separated by three parts, an optical head, an electronics box, and a baffle with maintaining optical head base plate temperature 20 degC in order to achieve the better performance in low frequency error. This paper presents the initial activation status, requirements and performance, anomaly occurrence, and noise equivalent angle performance analysis during the mission mode by processing the telemetry data.

A high-resolution synchronous mirror delay (SMD) is proposed in order to reduce the clock skew between the external clock and the infernal clock of a chip. The proposed SMD reduces the clock skew in two steps. Coarse locking is achieved by the SMD. Fine locking is achieved by the successive approximation register-controlled DLL. The total locking time is 10 clock cycles. Simulation results show that the proposed SMD operates with 50psec clock skew at 182MHz and consumes 17.5mW at 3.3V supply voltage in a 0.35 um 1-poly 4-metal CMOS technology.

A highly accurate wide swing BiCMOS cascode current mirror is proposed. It uses the base-current compensated BJT current mirror. It increases both output impedance and output voltage range by using the npn-NMOS cascode instead of the NMOS-NMOS cascode. The npn transistor copies the input current and the NMOS transistor increases the output impedance for the accurate current mirroring. The proposed current mirror achieves highly constant current for wide output voltage range. Simulation results were verified with measurements performed on a fabricated chip using a 5/16V 0.5um BCD process. It has only $-2.5%{\sim}1.0%$ current error for $0.3V{\sim}16V$ output voltage range.

The ultimate target cf this study is to develop ship's Digital Compass that can substitute for conventional ship's Magnetic Compass. At first, a new Digital Compass system consisting of three-axis Flux-gate sensors and small sized step motor was developed Then, new deviation adjustment theory incorporating with Kalman filter method was proposed through which automatic deviation analysis and correction are obtainable without ship's swinging procedures. The effectiveness of developed Digital Compass and proposed deviation adjustment theory are verified throughout the performance evaluation tests on the training ship 'SAE-NU-RI'.

This paper has been proposed a structure composed of FIRs and IIR filters as digital decimation filter to compensate the drooping inband on the high precision AU chips. The area of chip has been reduced compared with the conventional structure because the RAM and MAC is reduced. The passband ripple$(\leq\; 0.4535 \times fs)$, passband attenuation(at $\; 0.4535 \times fs$ and stopband attenuation$(\geq\; 0.59\times fs)$ of the 6th-order $\Delta\Sigma$ modulator and digital decimation filter had $\pm0.0007[dB]$, -0.0013[dB] and -110[dB] respectively. Also the inband group delay, which was almost same compared with the conventional digital decimation filter structure, was 30.07/fs[s] band the error of group delay was 0.1672%.

We proposed and implemented new DDC system which overcomes the difficulties including lack of flexibility of modifications of frequency which is the problem of previous frequence oscillator and synchronization. New DDC system can create frequence in two decimal points. Moreover, due to its usage in adjusting to frequence clock which is required by many consumers, laser distance instrument can reduce its error; thus, implementation of system is capable of high precision distance measurement can be performed.
