The Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) algorithm is being used widely for identifying the location of a source emanating either electrical or acoustic signal. It's application areas will not be limited to identifying the source at a fixed location, for example the origin of an earthquake, but will also include the trajectory monitoring for a moving source equipped with a GPS sensor. Most of the TDOA algorithm uses time correlation technique to find the time delay between received signals, and therefore difficult to be used for identifying the location of multiple sources. In this paper a TDOA algorithm based on cross-spectrum is developed to find the trajectory of two sound sources with different frequencies. Although its application is limited to for the sources on a disk plane, but it can be applied for identifying the locations of more than two sources simultaneously.

TDOA(time delay of arrival) position estimate from acoustic measurement of artillery shell impact is studied in order to develop a targeting evaluation system. Impact position is calculated from the intersections of hyperbolic estimates based on the least square Taylor series method. The mathematical process of Taylor series estimation is known to be robust. However, the concern lays with the accuracy because it is sensitive to the bias caused by the randomness of measurement situation. The measurement error typically occurs from the distortion of waveform, change of travelling path, and sensor position error. For outdoor measurement, a consideration should be made on the atmospheric condition such as temperature and wind which can possibly change the trajectories of rays of sound. It produces wrong propagation time events accordingly. Ray tracing and optimization techniques are introduced in this study to minimize the bias induced by the ray of sound. The numerical simulation shows that the atmospheric correction improves the estimation accuracy.

The aim of this paper is to present the method of identifying the impact location on the plate. This basic research has the future purpose to achieve the human-interaction technology based on the signal processing, piezoelectric materials, and wave propagation. The present work concerning the location identification of a single impact on the plate simulated the waveform numerically generated by impact force and applied the SWFOM(sliced Wigner higher fourth order moment) to the waveform to get the arrival time differences due to impact force between three sensors attached to the plate. The simulated signal is useful to get the information for time interval for the only direct wave. This information is used the source localization by using experimental work. The measured signal is also used for source localization of a single impact based on the higher order time frequency as a novel work.

As considerable interests in noise emission from a ship have been increased, the need for localization of noise sources of the marine propeller generating cavitation and singing noise is looming large. In many practical cases, cavitation and singing noise occur on a particular position of the certain blade of the propeller. It is so important to know the position of noise source correctly in order to eliminate or suppress unwanted noise. In this study, we develop "noise source localization technology" using TDOA method. Experimental measurements carried out at the circulating water channel and towing tank show that noise source can be clearly identified and localized using TDOA method.

영구자석 동기 전동기는 높은 효율과 전력 밀도 등의 장점때문에 자동차나 엘리베이터 등 다양한 산업 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 영구자석 동기 전동기의 구동에는 여러가지 이유로 인해 고조파 토크 리플이 존재한다. 이러한 토크 리플은 속도 리플을 유발하여 소음이나 진동의 원인이 되며, 그 분포가 전동기의 구조나 운전점에 따라 변화하기 때문에 제어 성능에 매우 큰 영향을 준다. 본 연구에서는 영구자석 동기 전동기의 운전점에 따라 변화하는 토크 리플을 상쇄하기 위해 주입할 최적의 고조파 토크를 실시간으로 추적하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서는 속도 제어 중 토크 리플에 의해 발생하는 속도 리플을 적분하여 평가지표로 삼고, 속도 리플이 감소하는 방향으로 주입할 고조파 토크의 크기와 위상을 조정한다. 이 방법은 제정수 추출이나 회전자의 위치 별 토크 테이블 없이 운전 조건의 변화에 따라 토크 리플의 최적 보상점을 추적한다는 장점이 있다. 제안된 방법의 효과는 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증되었다.

In the construction site of underground buildings which have severe environment such as dust, noise, vibration, the technology of rescue the builders in the construction site when accident occurs by tracking the location of the builders and express the mission of supervisor smoothly. In this study, in order to acquire the location information of the builders in the construction site of underground buildings by using MEMS INS and air pressure sensor, we firstly performed the field test in construction site, analyzed the location and the elevation accuracy based on the detected results, and then verified its practicality and rationality after all. As a result, we could acquire worker's position-accuracy within 10m in horizontal direction and 4m in vertical direction. Therefore we could judge availability in construction fields of underground structure.

Low frequency interior noise in cars is mainly due to structure-borne excitations which are related with road excitation and component vibrations such as suspension and engine mounts. In order to analyze the annoying interior noise. a technique (Transfer Path Analysis) is introduced to find a noise source and the path of that noise. In this study, TPA is reviewed theoretically and applied to investigate the case when the low frequency interior noise at front seat due to road excitations needs to be optimized. The subjective and objective appraisal was performed under the conditions that a testing vehicle traveled on asphalt at 30 km/h. so that the low frequency to be eliminated was detected. The related vibration and noise data for TPA were measured on running and static vehicle. The results reveal that the noise contribution along the z-direction of trailing arm is prominent to low frequency interior noise.

It is difficult to detect and to track the moving targets like tanks and diesel vehicles due to the variety of terrain and moving of targets. It is possible to be happened the aliasing conditions as the difficulty of antenna deployment in the complex environment like the battle fields. In this paper, we study the problem of detecting and tracking of moving targets which are emitting wideband signals under severe spatial aliasing conditions because of the sparse arrays. We developed a direction of arrival(DOA) estimation algorithm based on subband MUSIC(Multiple Signal Classification) method which produces high-resolution estimation. In this algorithm, the true bearings are invariant regardless of changes of frequency bands while the aliased false bearings vary. As a result, the proposed algorithm overcomes the aliasing effects and improves the localization performance in sparse passive arrays.

An underwater sound surveillance system detects and tracks enemy ships in real-time using hydrophone arrays, in which seabed-mounted sensor arrays play a pivotal role. In this paper the conceptual design of seabed-mounted, cylindrical hydrophone arrays for use in shallow coastal waters is performed via finite element calculations. To stabilize the receiving characteristics under the ocean ambient noise, a technique for whitening the ambient noise spectrum using a metal baffle is proposed. Optimization of the array configuration is performed to achieve the directivity in the vertical and azimuthal directions. And the effects of the sonar dome shape and material on the structural vibration and sound scattering properties are studied. It is demonstrated that a robust hydrophone array, having a sensitivity deviation less than 4 dB over the frequency range of interest, can be obtained through the whitening of the ambient noise, the optimization of the array configuration, and the design of acoustically transparent sonar domes.
