Adaptive beamforming methods are known to suppress sidelobes and improve detection performance of weak signal by constructing weight vectors depending on the received signal itself. A standard adaptive beamforming like the MVDR (Minimum Variance Distortionless Response) is very sensitive to mismatches between weight vectors and actual signal steering vectors. Also, a large computational complexity for estimating a stable covariance matrix is required when wideband beamforming for a large-scale array is used. In this paper, we exploit the WBRCB (Wideband Robust Capon Beamforming) method for stable and robust wideband adaptive beamforming of a passive large uniform line array sonar. To improve robustness of adaptive beamforming performance in the presence of mismatches, we extract a optimum mismatch parameter. WBRCB with extracted mismatch parameter shows performance improvement in beamforming using synthetic and experimental passive sonar signals.

본 논문에서는 낙뢰에서 발생하는 VHF 대역의 신호를 광대역 간섭계를 통하여 낙뢰의 방전경고 측정하는 거리 낙뢰관측 시스템을 소개하고자 한다. 측정시스템은 3개의 광대역 전계센서와 LF/VLF 대역의 전계센서로 구성된다. 측정된 신호는 잡음 제거를 위한 필터를 거쳐 디지털 신호로 변환되어 메모리에 저장되어 진다. 각각의 센서로부터 측정된 신호는 FFT분석을 거쳐 신호원인 낙뢰의 방위각과 고도각이 계산되어진다. 이 시스템은 30 km 내외의 뇌운의 방전 경로의 형성과 진전과정을 세밀하게 관측할 수 있다.

This paper describes an implementation of a wide-range dimming controller of a LED backlight for Avionics applications such as a control display unit(CDU) and multi-function display(MFD). The digital dimming controller employing a current controlled buck converter and light sensor feedback is proposed. The proposed system provides a wide dimming control range of from 150fL to 0.05fL(3000:1) required for avionic displays. The experimental results are provided to show the control performance.

This paper proposes an algorithm to design the non-linear array so as to form efficiently the one-shot beam with relatively less sensors for acoustic measurement. In this algorithm, according to the spatial sampling theory the part for high frequency(HF) band has equispaced sensor array and the sensor distances below the HF band are decided as a function of number of HF sensors. As the results of the simulations, the mean and variances of directivity index(DI) of non-linear array which has less sensors are similar to those of linear array. and the DI variation for beam steering angle is very small. And the beam width at -2dB point is 6.8°. Thus it is confirmed that the design algorithm for non-linear array which is proposed to have less sensors can be efficiently used in acoustic measurement.

The signal pattern recognition program which can perform signal acquisition and processing, the extraction and selection of features, the classifier design and the evaluation, is developed and applied to the classification of artificial defects in the weld zone of Austenitic STS304. The neural network classifier is compared with the linear discriminant function classifier and the empirical Bayesian classifier. The signal through a broadband sensor is compared with that through a resonance type sensor. In recognition rate, the neural network classifier is best, and the signal through a broadband sensor is better.

최근 광대역 통합망의 급속한 발전을 통해 각종 센서 정보의 실시간 수집 및 관리가 가능함에 따라 안정적이고 효율적인 기술에 대한 수요가 높아지고 있다. 한편 하 폐수 처리시설을 포함한 Smart Water Grid에서도 광대역 통합망 기반의 신기술을 융합한 실용화 및 기술개발의 필요성을 제시하고 있다. 기존 광대역망 관련 기술에서는 개별적이고 단일화된 네트워크망을 구성하고 있을 뿐 통합화 및 최적화에 대한 고려는 되지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 하 폐수 처리시설에서 효과적인 광대역 통합망 구성을 위한 Wifi 및 Zigbee 스위칭 기반의 모뎀기술을 제안하였으며, 핵심기술을 토대로 판교 하 폐수 처리시설에 관련 테스트 베드를 구축하고 데이터 송수신 기능을 확인함으로써 제안한 시스템의 유용성을 입증하였다.

This paper presents a nature-inspired wideband sprout-leaf shaped antenna with end-fire radiation pattern. A sprout-leaf shape angled-radiator was designed for wide beamwidth radiation patterns for motion detection sensors. An extended and truncated ground plane was used as a reflector for end-fire radiation patterns. To feed the balanced radiator, a broadband microstrip (MS) to coplanar stripline (CPS) balun was utilized with excellent amplitude and phase balance. The proposed antenna demonstrates wide frequency bandwidth from 8.5 to 14.5 GHz with wide beamwidth and the radiation efficiency of 90%. The measured gain is from 4 to 5 dBi and front-to-back ratio was 10 to 20 dB. It has been shown that the proposed antenna can be used for imaging sensors, phased array systems, and radars that require a wide bandwidth and a directional radiation pattern.

In this paper, we propose a new method to estimate the initial DOA of a new appearing source in wideband multisource beamforming and tacking with array sensor position calibration algorithm. By using a beampattern formula for initial DOA detection, the proposed method keeps estimation error within possible tracking range and can be applied to several beamformers with different mainlobe width by adjusting DOA resolution. The simulation results show the performances of source detection and tracking.
