A prototype ultrasound sector B-scanner has been developed where the front-end hardware refers to all the necessary circuits for transmitting the ultrasound pulses into the human body and receiving the reflected echo signals from it. The front-end hardware can generally be divided into three parts, i.e., a pulse generator for insonification, a receiver which is responsible for processing of low-level analog signals, and a steering controller for driving the mechanical sector probe whose functions and design concepts are described in this paper. The front-end hardware is implemented which incorporates the following features: improvement of the axial resolution using a circuit which reduces the ring-down time, flexibility of generating time-gain compensation curve, and adoption of a one-chip microcomputer for generating the rate pulses based on the sensor output waveforms.

A Stepped Frequency Radar(SFR) is a method of achieving high range resolution by gradually increasing the frequency of a transmitted pulse to create a wide synthetic bandwidth. However, in the case of moving target, accurate range estimation can not be performed due to the range-Doppler coupling phenomenon, so it is necessary to compensate through accurate velocity estimation. In this paper, we propose a stepped frequency radar waveform with a Coherent Pulse Train(CPT), velocity estimation results according to parameters using this method and VMD(Velocity Measurement Data) were compared and analyzed by numerical simulations.

A Stepped Frequency Radar(SFR) is a method that realizes high resolution range estimation by increasing the frequency of transmission pulses at regular intervals to generate a wide synthetic bandwidth. However, in the case of a moving target, accurate range estimation becomes difficult due to the range-Doppler coupling. In this paper, the process of high resolution range estimation by compensation of the range-Doppler coupling with estimated velocity of the moving target using the SFR waveform with Coherent Pulse Train(CPT) is analyzed and it was verified through simulation.

무선인지(RFID)시스템은 많은 산업 분야에 적용되고 있다. 대표적인 예로써 RFID 시스템을 이용한 출입 관제시스템을 들 수 있으며, 이런 경우 기존의 건물에 이 시스템을 설치하려고 하면 출입문을 개조하여야 한다. 하지만 무선 통신을 이용하면, 리더기에서 호스트 컴퓨터로의 접근이 용이해지므로 출입문 개조에 있어서도 한결 수월해진다. 이 때 필요한 것이 무선 디지털 데이터 통신 기술과 원격지에서 Tag의 ID를 모니터링을 위한 TCP/IP를 이용한 Ethernet 통신이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 시스템의 개발방법에 대해 설명하였으며 RFID 리더기는 125KHz를 사용 주파수로 하고, Tag 칩은 Microchip사의 MCRF 250을 사용하였다. 그리고 무선 데이터 통신을 위해서 CC1020칩을 사용하였으며 이 칩의 장점은 간단히 레지스터를 설정으로 송신 상태 혹은 수신 상태로 변환이 가능하고 또한 주파수 설정도 가능하다는 것이다. 마지막으로 Ethernet 통신을 위해서는 W3100A칩을 이용하였으며, Ethernet 통신에 있어 OS가 차지하는 부분으로 하드웨어를 통해 구현하였다. 실험을 위해 하드웨어를 구성하고 각 모듈별 동작을 분석하고. 각 부분의 파형을 확인하였다. DB에 해당하는 Application을 통해 Tag ID DATA를 확인하였다.

This paper presents a jamming detection and suppression algorithm of a frequency-modulated continuous-wave(FMCW) radar altimeter. The radar altimeter measures the noise level at the noise measuring period before the transmitting and receiving period and finds the number of sampled noise data over the jamming threshold for detecting the jamming. For a jamming suppression technique, we design the time domain jamming suppression, transmit/receive power control and frequency hopping methods. To assess more realistic operation, the radar altimeter was performed a field test. Through the field test, we verified the algorithms successfully.

The precise detection of electric leakage point of underground power cable is very important to reduce cost and time of maintenance and prevent electric shock accident through expedite repair of electric leakage point. This paper proposes a electric leakage point detection system underground power cable using of half-period modulated transmission waveform and earth electric potential measurement. The developed system is composed of transmitter to generate the wanted pulse waveform, receiver to measure and display earth electric potential by the transmitted pulse in electric leakage point and PC Software program to display of GPS coordinate on detection cable line. The performance of the electric leakage point detection system was tested in the constructed underground cable leakage detection test bed. The test results on signal generation voltage precision of signal transmitter, mean detection earth voltage, mean detection leakage current and electric leakage point detection error showed the developed system can be used in electric leakage point detection underground power cable.

Level Gauge using FMCW Radar is widely used and researched in many areas because of contactless, long range and flexibility. However FMCW level gauge requires wideband RF bandwidth for archiving high resolution of cm grade. In this paper we propose a new tx sawtooth waveform and processing algorithm with narrowband RF for wideband performance. The proposed method is based on STFT(Short-time fourier transform) and single sinusoidal carrier estimation method. From some experiments, we show that the resolution is improved upto 8 times with 300MHz FMCW radar.

In this paper, we propose a PRF design method to improve the performance of the ESA radar, by excluding the interference from an improper PRF. Like the conventional method, the proposed method also considers the interference between the transmitted signal and the nadir signal, but additionally analyzes the relationship between the interference and the signal beamwidth. The simulation results show that the proposed method quantitatively and qualitatively excluded interference from the PRF and additionally dealt with the beamwidth broadening effect of an ESA radar.

In a multi-channel single-ended system, the far-end crosstalk (FEXT) due to mutual inductance and mutual capacitance between two adjacent channels critically limit the bandwidth. FEXT causes crosstalk-induced jitter (CIJ) and crosstalk-induced glitch (CIG) which leads to timing margin and voltage margin degradations, respectively. Therefore, FEXT must be compensated in order to increase eye opening and achieve high data-rate. It can be compensated in transmitter by controlling the timing of the data or reshaping the waveform of the signal. Also, FEXT can be compensated in receiver by generating mimicked FEXT using high-pass filter. In this paper, recent techniques to compensate FEXT are investigated, with discussions of their pros and cons.
