천리안위성은 통신, 해양, 기상 임무를 띤 우리나라 최초의 정지궤도복합위성으로 지난 2010년 6월 27일 성공적으로 발사된 후 동경 128.2도, 적도 상공 약 35,800 km 고도의 정지궤도에 안착되었다. 이 후 약 6개월 여의 궤도상시험 기간과 2개월의 안정화 기간을 거쳐 2011년 4월 1일, 기상청은 위성자료 서비스를 위한 정규운영을 시작하였다. 천리안위성의 기상탑재체인 기상영상기는 다중채널 복사계로 한반도 주변뿐만 아니라 전 지구적 기후 변화 및 대기 운동 그리고 급변하는 기상상황을 감시하기 위해 실시간 관측과 전송 시스템을 갖추고 있다. 이 기상영상기를 운용하는 기상청 국가기상위성센터 지상국에서는 자료수신 및 영상전처리시스템을 갖추고 수신된 위성신호로부터 영상 분리 후 복사보정 및 기하보정을 수행하며, 위성자료배포시스템을 통해 일정 시간 간격 내에 사용자들에게 처리 자료를 배포하고 있다. 영상 복사보정은 기상영상기 내의 각 채널별 디텍터가 감지한 지구복사휘도의 전기적 신호를 지상에서 복사휘도와 휘도온도 값으로 변환하는 작업이다. 절대검정체로서 흑체와 우주보기 값을 이용하는 적외채널과 달리, 가시채널 디텍터는 절대검정체가 탑재되어있지 않기 때문에 우주보기 값 외에 대리검정 방법을 이용한다. 이러한 가시채널 노화도 분석에 달 관측을 통한 비교 분석이 한 방법으로 제시되고 있다. 천리안위성 기상영상기의 정규운영 1년간의 가시채널 디텍터의 노화도는 6 % 이내로 측정되었고, 이는 일반적인 정지궤도위성 센서의 노화도인 6 % 내외 값 변화량에 견주어 잘 운용되고 있음을 시사한다. 본 논문에는 천리안위성 기상영상자료의 품질 및 매개변수의 변화 경향도 함께 제시하였으며, 달을 이용한 기상영상기 노화 분석과 보정에 관한 내용을 싣고 있다.

Absolute radiometric calibration is a crucial process in converting the electromagnetic signals obtained from satellite sensors into physical quantities. It is performed to enhance the accuracy of satellite data, facilitate comparison and integration with other satellite datasets, and address changes in sensor characteristics over time or due to environmental conditions. In this study, field campaigns were conducted to perform vicarious calibration for the multispectral channels of the CAS500-1. Two valid field observations were obtained under clear-sky conditions, and the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiance was simulated using the MODerate resolution atmospheric TRANsmission 6 (MODTRAN 6) radiative transfer model. While a linear relationship was observed between the simulated TOA radiance of tarps and CAS500-1 digital numbers(DN), challenges such as a wide field of view and saturation in CAS500-1 imagery suggest the need for future refinement of the calibration coefficients. Nevertheless, this study represents the first attempt at absolute radiometric calibration for CAS500-1. Despite the challenges, it provides valuable insights for future research aiming to determine reliable coefficients for enhanced accuracy in CAS500-1's absolute radiometric calibration.

In modern air combat, infrared signals play an important role in the detection of opponents and must be reduced to improve survivability and stealth. In particular, IR signals generated in the wake of aircraft engines have high intensity and short wavelengths, so most heat-tracking missiles detect these signals. Accordingly, the measurement and characteristic analysis of Gas radiation signals from the engine's wake were carried out in this study. Micro turbojet engine has been configured to simulate a real aircraft turbofan engine, and the characteristics of IR signal reduction by adjusting the bypass ratio were identified. Through this, the IR signal characteristics for each wavelength are analyzed and verification of signal reduction technologies is performed.

For development of an integrated calorimetric bio-reactor to measure the metabolic heat dissipated during cell growth, a 5 liter jar fermenter was modified to measure the pulse length of automatic temperature control signals to set heater on and off, and the to send them to computer to calculate the cumulative heat supplied. Cumulative heats for the calorimetric reactor in the absence of cell growth, were measured with varying conditions. The heat loss by the aeration was 30.9 kJ/vvm and the loss to ambient air was 10.5 kJ/L/hr/$^{\circ}C$. Cumulative heat was measued within $\pm$0.2% when testing with a small electri heater submerged in the reactor. Metabolic heat was measured to be 0.76 and 0.76 and 11.4kJ per g consumption of glucose during cultivation of S. cerevisiae and E. coli, respectively.

OFDM is effective for the high speed data transmission. However, the nonlinear distortion is a serious problem because of the high PAPR due to many subcarriers. The conventional SLM selects the OFDM signal with the lowest PAPR. In this method, OFDM data can be correctly recovered only if the side information about the phase sequence is transmitted to receiver. This paper proposes a new method of side information insertion into the conventional SLM and reduces the computational complexity by adaptive method. Performances are compared in case that three kinds of phase sequences are used for phase rotation factor. The adaptive SLM method has the same PAPR reduction as the conventional SLM method. The required BER can be guaranteed by the proposed method. When subcarrier number N=32, computational complexity is reduced to 48 %, 72 % and 51 % for the branch number U=4, 8 and 16, respectively.

This study focused on the fact that medical images that are issued at different hospitals may affect image quality on PACS when different software is used. A university hospital image was copied to the DICOM file and registered on the PACS of the university hospital B. The capacity and image quality of the software used in the university hospital were evaluated by SNR, CNR and histogram. As the compression ratio increased, SNR and CNR tended to decrease. Note that Lossless Compression decreased the data size by half compared to No Compression, but SNR and CNR did not change. As a result of the histogram analysis, the information loss due to the underflow phenomenon was conspicuous. When moving to another hospital, No compression or lossless compression method should be used. In conclusion, it is useful to use the lossless compression method, considering waiting time and economic efficiency in uploading.

Detection of halogens using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in open air is very difficult since their strong atomic emission lines are located in VUV region. In NIR region, there are other emission lines of halogens through electronic transitions between excited states. However, these lines undergo Stark broadening severely. We report the observation of the emission lines of halogens in laser-induced plasma (LIP) spectra in NIR region using a helium gas flow. Particularly, the emission lines of iodine at 804.374 and 905.833 nm from LIPs have been observed for the first time. In the helium ambient gas, Stark broadening of the emission lines and background continuum emission could be suppressed significantly. Variations of the line intensity, plasma temperature, and electron density with the helium flow rate was investigated. Detection of chlorine and bromine in flame retardant of rubbers was demonstrated using this method. Finally, we suggest a pulsed helium gas jet as a practical and ecomonical helium gas source for the LIBS analysis of halogens in open air.
