The towfish oi a side scan sonar is an equipment that search images of the bottom surface of the sea in real time. It is a typical equipment that is related to a sea investigation such as a geological survey, seabed communication cable and power line cable placing repair investigation, fish breeding ground investigation, sea purification, relic and mineral investigation, and mine and submarine search. It used to find objects and Investigate on the seabed surface. But, recently, it is used to sea purification and geological survey that require information of the correct surface of the seabed. So, it needs various filtering technique and image processing techniques development to acquire high resolution image. Therefore, this research develops a side scan sonar using multi-beam sensors that supply various information with the fast scan speed and correct high resolution that is not a simple underwater investigation equipment.

Recently, ultrasonic testing simulation has becomes very important in the field of nondestructive evaluation due to its unique capability of providing testing signals without real inspection. The ultrasonic testing simulation requires three elementary models including the transducer beam radiation model, the flaw scattering model, and the reception model. In the present work, we briefly describe an approach to develop the ultrasonic testing model together with its elementary models with the multi-gaussian beam model. Based on this approach, we developed ultrasonic testing simulation program with MATLAB. The performance of the developed program is demonstrated by the predicting of ultrasonic signals from two types of flaws, circulars crack and spheres.

셀룰러 시스템에서 언제 어디서나 높은 품질의 서비스를 제공하기에 가장 큰 걸림돌로 지적되는 문제점 중의 하나가 바로 셀간 간섭으로 인한 성능 저하이다. 따라서, 간섭으로 인해 셀 경계에서 발생하는 성능 저하를 해결하는 것은 차세대 통신시스템 설계에서 핵심적 요소 중 하나이며, 셀의 소형화를 통해 대역 효율성을 높이고자 하는 시도와 맞물려 더욱 중요한 이슈로 부각되고 있다. 본고는 간섭을 제어하는 수단으로 다중안테나를 이용한 셀간 협력 방식인 협력 빔형성(cooperative beamforming) 방식을 살펴보고, 최근의 연구와 LTE-Advanced 표준에서의 협력 기술인 CoMP (coordinated multipoint transmission and reception)를 함께 소개한다.

A beamforming method is a kind of spatial filter that focus the amy's signal capturing abilities in a desired direction. In this paper, we detect the location of a source under reflective condition using the multi-dimensional MUSIC algorithm then, we can iud the image source locations from the experimental geometry, and we reconstruct the partial fields for direct wave and reflected wave by using Adaptive nulling algorithm. Numerical simulations are performed to verify its performance under various conditions.

In this paper, we propose a multi-way relaying system, in which N communicating nodes interchange their information one another by the help of a multiple-antenna non-regenerative relay station (RS). While the conventional multi-way relaying requires 2N transmission phases to complete the data exchange, the proposed system completes the mission with N phases composed of one multiple access phase and N-1 broadcast phases. For effective broadcast transmission, the proposed system pairs users for signal transmission with a new RS beamforming matrix not to interfere with the nodes of different pairs and a self-interference canceler at each node. The performance evaluation in terms of the average sum rate shows that the proposed system outperforms the conventional one with more significant gain when the number of RS antennas is comparable to the number of communicating nodes. The proposed schemes can be applicable to marine communications where the ships need to share their information with extended coverage.

Massive MIMO communication system with huge antennas has been attracting intensive attention as one of key technologies to increase the spectral efficiency. Many previous studies investigated single user Massive MIMO scheme in cellular downlink. Recently, however, intensive researches on multiuser-based Massive MIMO are performed to overcome the problem caused by the limited number of antennas in mobile stations. Although the Massive MIMO scheme based on huge number of antennas inevitably causes hardware and computational complexity in baseband and radio frequency (RF) elements, the problem can be mitigated without serious performance degradation by limiting the number of baseband and RF elements below the number of transmit antennas of base station and opportunistically selecting transmit antennas according to channel states, where the number of selected antennas corresponds to the number of baseband and RF elements in base station. Accordingly, this paper proposes a simple antenna selection scheme for multiuser-based Massive MIMO systems. Our simulation results indicate that the proposed antenna selection scheme can achieve comparable performance to the conventional scheme without antenna selection.

The performance variations of a spatio temporal smart antenna which is equipped at the basestation of CDMA cellular communication network due to the parametric change of multipath fading environment are studied in this paper. The smart antenna of interest employs space diversity based adaptive array structure in conjunction with rake receiver that has fingers the number of which is the same as that of multipath links. The beamforming is achieved via LMS(Least Mean Square) algorithm in which a reference signal is generated using decision directed formula. It has been shown by computer simulation that the performance of our smart antenna of interest depends significantly upon not only the degree of desired signal's DOA(Direction of Arrival)spread but the number of fingers of the rake receiver. The relative insensitivity of the smart antenna's performance on desired signal's delay spread has also been observed. Computer simulation has shown that the increase of the number of fingers brings in a nonlinear enhancement of the performance of our smart antenna. The renewal of weight vector in the beamforming procedure is taken place at post PN despread stage.
