Recently, navigation systems based on wireless communication have been applied to the internal structures such as building or ship. If a stable azimuth information is obtained, these systems can effectively guide the direction of the user's progress through the information and then can improve the performance of guidance. Since conventional method which has acquired an azimuth information using geomagnetic and acceleration sensor(azimuth sensor hereafter) is sensitive to the effects of the magnetic field, it has unstable error range according to the surrounding environment. In order to improve these problems, this paper presents a new relative azimuth estimation algorithm using the displacement of a mobile node and its rotation angle based on Wireless communication. For the performance assessment of the proposed algorithm, experiments using rotating arm are performed and the results are confirmed that the proposed system can estimate the relative azimuth without using additional sensors.

In this paper, we present a method for estimating the ratio of CPA distance to velocity of underwater target using target bearing information in CPA situation. This ratio can be estimated by previous research which is Envelope CPA using proximity sensor but it has low performance if the target is close to receiver sensor or bigger interference caused by multi-path effects. Therefore we propose a Bearing CPA technique using a target bearing information as a way to overcome.

카오스 로봇의 하드웨어 구현에서 로봇의 자체 또는 바퀴가 정확하기 자기 위치를 인식하고 지지한 방향과 거리만큼 이동하는 것이 가장 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 고정밀 위치 측정이 가능한 카오스로봇을 제작하기 위하여 기존의 마그네틱 자이로 센서가 가지고있는 문제점인 주변의 자성의 영향으로 정확한 자기 위치를 확인할 수 없어 새로운 각 속도 센서를 사용하여 자기 위치 보정능력을 향상시키고 정확한 방향을 움직일 수 있는 카오스 로봇을 설계하였다.

Research on indoor location tracking technology using smart phone is actively being carried out. Especially, in order to display the movement path of the smartphone on the map, the azimuth angle should be estimated by using the geomagnetic sensor built in most smart phones. Due to the distortion of the magnetic field due to the surrounding steel structure and the inclination of the smartphone, the estimation error of azimuthal angle may be occurred. In this paper, we propose a correction method of the geomagnetic sensor at the stationary state and a correction method for the inclination of the smartphone. We also propose a method to correct the azimuth error due to the difference between the magnetic north and the grid north.

While traditional two-axis tracking systems with double sensors had been using two sensors to control azimuth and elevation angle of the sun so that a solar cell module would make a normal line with the sun, this paper proposed a new two-axis system that can achieve the same performance with only one sensor in it. It is Two-axis tracking system that control azimuth and elevation to control to be reduced for solar cell module as proposed tracking system uses 1 sensors and the sun always forms normal. Two-axis tracking system of one sensor method that propose in paper that could reduce electric power consumption and sees than fixed type preventing action and the most efficient driving and needless drive could confirm that generation efficiency of about 23 [%] increases. To heighten efficiency of solar cell doing to receive more sunlights chasing the sun, done tracking device have proceeded a lot of studies in large size way. Therefore, is expected that will do big part in the sun tracking supply through utility study about persistent generation efficiency constructing monitoring system of the sun tracking of this paper.

In this paper, we propose a near-field range estimation method for a uniform linear array that can calibrate bearing estimation error which give a bad influence on a range estimation process. When a range is fixed, the bearing error is calibrated to maximize the beamformer output by the proposed algorithm based on the gradient method. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can compensate the bearing error which is less than the mainlobe beamwidth so that reduce the range estimation error as similar as the case of no bearing error.

A computationally efficient algorithm is presented for 3-D near-field source localization using a uniform circular away (UCA). Algebraic relations are demonstrated between the incident angles (elevation angle and azimuth angle) under the far-field assumption and the actual near-field location (range. elevation angle, and azimuth angle). Using these relations as paths to follow to the peak of the 3-D MUSIC spectrum, the proposed algorithm replaces the 3-D search required in the conventional 3-D MUSIC with a 1-D path following after a 2-D initialization. thereby reducing the computational burden.

수동 Wave-front curvature ranging 방법의 통계적성능에 대한 일반적 결과가 유도된다. 센서들의 비선형 및 부동간격 센서들의 운동효과로 인한 표적거리의 편의(bias) 및 편차9variance)가 센서간의 운동이 상관관계를 가지고 있을 때 유도된다. 이 논문은 센서운동이 정규분포(normal distribution)를 가지며 평균이 0, 같은 편차 및 투시할 수 있는 higher moment를 가지고 있다고 가정한다. 유도된 일반적 결과를 이용하여 거리편의 및 편차는 표적거리, 방위, 센서운동의 상관계수 및 방향각(heading)표준편차 변화에 대해 그림으로 나타나 있다. 표적거리가 센서간격보다 아주 큰 경우 센서간격이 감소할수록, 표적거리가 증가할수록, 거리편의 및 편차는 증가한다. 상관계수가 증가할수록 거리편의는 직선적으로 감소하며, 거리편차는 센서 방향각 오차가 클 때 최소가 되는 상관계수가 존재하며 이는 표적거리, 방위 및 센서간격의 복합함수이다.

The conformal array sensor has different sub-array depending on different beam steering directions. According to the method to effective the sensor, the performance of the conformal array sensor can be different, where the sub-array selects an effective sensor. Also, due to the figure of the conformal array sensor, the figure of the sub-array can be different each other, which results in different performance on directivity index, beam width and etc. In this paper, two methods to select sub-array which is the criteria for each sensors position vector and directive vector were proposed. For two sub-array selection methods, the performance of the directivity index, horizontal and vertical beam width were compared with the average and variance. In addition, this comparison was conducted when the number of sensors was fixed. When the number of sensors was not fixed, the directional vector method mainly results in high performance, but the performance of vertical beam width was lower or equal. When the number of sensors was fixed, the performance of two methods is similar, but the performance of variance was deteriorated.

GMTI (Ground Moving Target Indication) radar system can detect ground moving targets and can provide position and velocity information of each target. However, the azimuth position of target has some offset because of the hardware errors such as mechanical tolerances. In this case, an error occurs no matter how accurate the monopulse ratio is. In this paper, target position correction method in azimuth direction has been proposed. The received sum and difference signals of monopulse GMTI system are post-processed to correct the target azimuth angle error. This method is simple and adaptive for nonhomogeneous area because it can be implemented by using only software without any hardware modification or addition.
