By this study, on-line real-time radiometric system was developed using a 64 channels linear array of solid state detectors to measure wall thickness of insulated piping system. This system uses an Ir-192 as a gamma ray source and detector is composed of BGO scintillator and photodiode. Ir-192 gamma ray source and linear detector array mounted on a computer controlled robotic crawler. The Ir-192 gamma ray source is located on one side of the piping components and the detector array on the other side. The individual detectors of the detector array measure the intensity of the gamma rays after passing through the walls and the insulation of the piping component under measurement. The output of the detector array is amplified by amplifier and transmitted to the computer through cable. This system collects and analyses the data from the detector array in real-time as the crawler travels over the piping system. The maximum measurable length of pipe is 120cm/min. in the case of 1mm scanning interval.

가시광 CCD나 HxRG 등의 적외선 어레이 디텍터는 천문관측기기를 구성하는 핵심부품으로, 관측기기의 종합 성능 결정에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 따라서 디텍터의 성능을 정확하게 진단하는 것은 관측기기의 성능을 예측하거나 유지 또는 개선하는데 중요한 요소가 된다. 한국천문연구원은 최근에 디텍터 성능을 직접적으로 측정할 수 있는 광전자 시스템을 구축하고 장치를 구동하기 위한 소프트웨어를 자체 개발하였다. 본 시스템을 기반으로 Andor iKon-M 카메라 CCD의 시스템 게인, 최대 포화전자수, 감도, 비선형성, 양자효율, 암전류, 읽기 잡음, 불량 픽셀의 특성을 측정하였으며 특히, 양자효율의 경우 디텍터의 구동 온도에 따라 파장별로 2%에서 30% 이상까지 편차가 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 디텍터의 성능 평가와 그 중요성에 대하여 논의한다.

The designed and fabricated millimeter-wave security screening system receives radiation energy from an object and a human body. The imaging system consist of sixteen array antennas, sixteen four-stage LNAs, sixteen detectors, an infrared camera, a CCD camera, reflector, and a focusing lens. This system requires high sensitivity and wide bandwidth to detect the input thermal noise. The LNA module of the system has been measured to have 65.8 dB in average linear gain and 82 GHz~102 GHz in bandwidth to enhance the sensitivity for thermal noise, and to receive it over a wide bandwidth. The detector is used for direct current (DC) output translation of millimeter-wave signals with a zero bias Schottky diode. The lens and front-end of the millimeter-wave sensor are important in the system to detect the input thermal noise signal. The frequency range in the receiving sensitivity of the detectors was 350 to 400 mV/mW at 0 dBm (1 mW) input power. The developed W-band imaging system is effective for detecting and identifying concealed objects such as metal or plastic.
