활동성은하핵(AGN)의 거대 블랙홀 주변에 존재하는 플라스마 디스크의 구조나 물리적인 상태를 관측으로 직접 찾는 것은 AGN 중심부분에서의 제트 형성, 방출과정이나 에너지 수송과정을 조사하기 위해 중요한다. 지금껏 주로 센치미터파장 영역의 다주파 VLBI 관측으로 우리은하에서 가까운 AGN 속에 존재하는 10 pc 정도의 플라스마 디스크가 발견되어 있다만, AGN의 활동성을 정하고 있는 1 pc 이하의 스케일에서의 디스크 구조를 직접 관측한 결과는 아직 없다. 우리는 2015년8월부터 KVN 및 KVN과 일본 VERA로 구성되는 한일공동 VLBI 관측망(KaVA)을 이용해서 전파 은하 3C 84(z = 0.0176, 1 mas = 0.36 pc)의 밀리미터파장 모니터링을 진행하고 있다. KVN과 KaVA를 이용하면 1 pc 이하의 스케일로 3C 84의 중심구조를 고감도에서 분해할 수 있다. 이번 발표에서는 KVN 및 KaVA로 거의 동시에 실시한 관측결과를 중심으로 보고한다. 관측은 2016년2월22일(KaVA 43 GHz) 및 23일(KVN 86 GHz)에 실시되었다. 양 주파수의 이미지에서 종래의 센치미터 ~ 밀리미터파장 VLBI관측으로도 검출되어 있는 중심핵(C1) 및 남쪽에 약 3 mas 떨어져서 위치하는 로브(C3) 성분 뿐만 아니라 C1으로부터 북쪽에 약 2.5 mas 떨어져서 위치하는 새로운 성분(N1)을 검출하였다. N1의 검출 수준은 43, 86 GHz 모두 $6{\sigma}$이며, 양 주파수 사이에서 광학적으로 두꺼운 스펙트럼을 가지고 있다. 과거의 관측으로 측정된 C3의 겉보기 속도는 빛의 속도의 약 23%이며, 남북 로브의 구조와 운동의 대칭을 가정하면 N1이 도플러 분사출 효과 때문에 어두워지고 있는 가능성은 낮다. 따라서 C3에 대응하는 북쪽 N1로브로부터의 복사가 블랙홀 주변의 플라스마 디스크로 인해 저주파수에서 강한 흡수를 받고 있는 결과고 생각된다.

The properties of Fe-Se-Te system(FeSe(sub)1-xTe(sub)x, x=0.2, 0.5, 0.8) have been studied by means of the X-ray diffraction method and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The results of X-ray diffraction patterns show that three samples have the ixed structure of tetragonal PbO and a small amount of hexagonal NiAs structure respectively. For x=0.5 the lattice parameters of tetragonal PbO structure are a=3.795$\AA$, c=5.896$\AA$ and c/a=1.55. The Mossbauer spectra were obtained with the various temperature variation and than they do not exhibit magnetic hyperfine structure but show a strong doublet. The values of observed isomer shift and quadrupole splitting suggest that the irons of all samples exist in the +2 oxidation state with a major covalent contribution. The temperature dependence of isomer shift values for x=0.8 seems to be originated from the second order Doppler effect.

In the initial stage of the communications between a base station and a satellite transponder, the base station transmits the frequency-sweeping un-modulated up-link carrier within a certain frequency range to acquire the doppler frequency shift and signal power between the base station and the satellite in orbital flight. The satellite transponder acquires and tracks the carrier in order to initialize the communication. To control such initialization process, the satellite receiver should analyze the input carrier signal in various ways. This paper presents an SNR estimation algorithm to control the initialization process. The proposed algorithm converts the input signal into the baseband polar coordinate representation and estimates the SNR via the statistics of the angular signal components as well as the status parameters to control the receiver. The Monte-Carlo simulations shows the validity of the estimation proposed.

하천의 유량자료는 수위, 우량 등과 함께 수문 해석을 위해 매우 중요하다. 유량자료는 수자원을 정확하게 파악하기 위해 가장 중요한 자료이기 때문에 측정을 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 그러나 유량측정은 다른 수문관측과는 달리 변동성이 크고 오차의 범위가 커서 실제 활용에 많은 한계가 있는 것도 사실이다. 유량은 유속계를 이용하여 현장에서 인력으로 직접 측정되기 때문에 현장의 측정조건, 측정하는 사람의 기술적 숙련도 등에 따라 크게 변화할 수 있는 요소를 가지고 있다. 또한 유량자료는 대부분의 경우 연속적인 자료획득이 곤란하기 때문에 수위-유량관계를 이용하여 연속측정된 수위를 유량으로 환산한다. 이와 같은 수위-유량관계는 현장의 조건이 변화하지 않는다는 가정하에서 이루어지는 것이므로 실제 현장에서 발생하는 변화를 고려할 수 없는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서 유량 모니터링 대상인 서낙동강은 정체수역으로서 하천의 상류와 하류에 대저수문과 녹산수문이 위치해 있고, 두 수문의 개방시 일정시간 동안의 연속적이고 정확한 유량변화의 측정을 필요로 한다. 서낙동강은 녹산수문에서 바다와의 수위차를 고려하여 수문을 개방하기 때문에 대저수문과 녹산수문의 개방 시기 및 시간이 매 순간 유동적이다. 본 연구에서는 서낙동강의 수질 및 수량 관리를 위하여 수문운영에 따른 유량변화를 측정하고자 하였으며, 전술한 바와 같은 한계를 극복하기 위해 유량측정장비는 최첨단 장비인 ADCP를 활용하였다. ADCP(Accoustic Doppler Current Profiler)는 최근에 하천유량측정을 위해 활용되고 있는 장비로서 음파의 도플러 효과를 이용하여 하천을 횡단하면서 단시간에 유속과 유량을 측정한다. 국내의 경우 1990년대 후반부터 도입된 ADCP는 유량측정 기법과 현장 적용상의 문제가 일정부분 검토되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 유속계를 이용해서 측정한 유량값과 비교하여 ADCP에 의한 결과를 검증하고, 수문운영에 따른 비정상 유량변화를 모니터링하고자 하였다.

In this paper, a new try to measure nonlinear propagation characteristics of the pulse along blood vessel by using bispectral analysis is introduced, and the possibility of its application to the medical diagnosis is shown. In this method, the waveforms of pulse motion of blood vessel at two separated measuring points on the wall were detected from Doppler frequency modulation of transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then the auto- and crossbispectrum of detected waveforms are calculated to estimate the quadratic NTF (nonlinear transfer function) between the two measuring positions. In order to show relationships between the NTF and the nonlinear propagation characteristics, computer simulations have been performed. As the propagation distance increases, harmonic frequency components in NTF increases broadly due to the nonlinear effect in the propagation of blood pulse. In order to represent this phenomena quantitatively, we propose a new parameter, dispersion ratio of WTF. Basic experimental system was constructed by using 3.5MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the preliminary experiments were carried out on ague phantom and human body. Experimental results showed the validity of the measurement system enoughly.

In this paper, we analyze the effects of phase noise and frequency offset that cause performance degradation. Basically, we like to propose reduced PNFS(Phase Noise and Frequency offset Suppression) algorithm. The OFDM system is seriously affected by ICI component such as phase noise, frequency offset and Doppler effects. Especially, complicated processing algorithm with high complexity was required it in order to compensate those ICI components. So, we propose PNFS algorithm that can decrease complexity and compensate ICI components. We propose a method decreased complexity by approximation of parameters that affect slightly performance change and compare the quantity of conventional and revised PNFS algorithm. Also, simulation shows that BER performance of revised PNFS algorithm can be improved slightly.

In this study, we examine the applicability of the classifier based on an artifical neural network (ANN) for the low-frequency acoustic signal in shallow water environment. The estimations of the Doppler shift and frequency spreading effect at 220 Hz reveal the frequency variation of less than 2 Hz with time This small variation enables the ANN-based classifier to identify signals using only tonal frequency information. The ANN consists of 4 layers, and has 60 input processing elements (PEs) and 4 output PEs, respectively. When measured tonal signals in the frequency 200-250 Hz are applied to the ANN-based classifier, the classifier can identify more than 67% of the signals for instantaneous frame and more than 91% for averaged one over 5 frames.

Applying microwave, a velocity measurement system has been developed in order to measure the velocity of stream water surface. It's main purpose is the measurement for high velocity of flood water. It is under the developing stage of experimental measurement system. The microwave surface velocity meter uses Doppler effects of microwave. It consists of a radio frequency(RF) part and that of signal processing. Thr RF part has the function of microwave oscillation, reception of reflected wave, and determination of Doppler frequency, etc. Signal processing designates amplification, fast Fourier transform, etx. Various measuring experiments were performed at bridges and a spillway of Taechong re-regulation dam with the microwave velocity meter. Verification test was also made through water tank of ship model test at Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering. It shows 4% error inherent in A/D converter and additional several percentage errors from measurement circumstance. The measuring ranges are from 0.5 to 3.5 m/s. The result shows good linear relationship between carriage velocity and measured velocity, thus proves usefulness as a measuring instrument for flood water velocity. The instrument requires overall re-engineering procedure and number of data should be accumulated and analyzed to treat wind effects and random fluctuations of water surface.

In real system application, the path planning and following system for the coordinated control of heterogeneous marine robots based on the underwater acoustic communication has the following problems: surface and underwater robots have different maneuvering properties, an underwater robot requires more effective operating, it has a limited communication range because of the transmission loss (TL) of acoustic wave, it has a communication error because of the Doppler distortion of acoustic wave, and further, it requires an easy design procedure in terms of its structures and parameters. To solve these problems, an intelligent path planning algorithm using the evolution strategy (ES) and the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) based on system modeling, is proposed. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, the path planning and following of an underwater robot is performed according to the maneuvering of a surface robot. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm effectively solves the problems.

In this paper, the performances of wireless asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) cell transmission in mobile work are analyzed. We adopt 16Star QAM as amodulation technique in wireless channel and considered Reed-Solomon, convolutional, and concatenated coding to improve the error rate performances, and also proposed the Partial Concatenated Coding (PCC) technique as UEP(unequal error protection) code for efficient transmission of ATM cell in the air interface. We consider Doppler's effect, Rician fading, and diversity technique of maximal-ratio combining (MRC) for mobile channel model. For performance measure, we analyze bit error rate, ATM cell loss probability, ATM cell error probability, and network performances of ATM cell transmission delay and throughput. The numerical results show that the adoption of PCC is a prospective way for the evolution of future wireless ATM network on mobile environment.
