This paper presents the changes of acoustic scattering pattern from a single cylinder and two identical cylinders in both theoretical calculations and experimental measurements. Bi-static scattering pattern by single cylinder and two parallel cylinders (length 2m, radius 30mm) was measured in $5m\times5m\times5m$ water tank using high frequency projector (120 kHz) and hydrophone. The results show similar agreement between experiment and theory. In case of single cylinder scattering. omni-directional pattern was observed in backward but there are fluctuations or target strength in forward. Interference between each cylinder's scattering fields produce fluctuations of target strength in all directions of two cylinders.

A Modified equivalent circuit by combining a series and parallel of polymer matrix for estimating the dielectric constant ${\bar{K}}_{33}$ values changing the volume percent of $PbTiO_3$, the dependences of frequency for the 713 and dissipation factor for 0 - 3 composites was derived. The difference of the dielectric constant and dissipation factor between the calculated and measured values became smaller at higher volume percent of $PbTiO_3$. There was, good agreement between the calculated and observed results for 70 volume percent of $PbTiO_3$ and 30 volume percent of Eccogel composite at 1(KHz), 25($^{\circ}C$). The optimized variable x was 0.94 in $PbTiO_3$ ceramics. $PbTiO_3$ powder and Eccogel polymer were used as piezoelectric fillers and matrix, respectively.

The depth dependent sound fields have been calculated for a single frequency source to reveal the fluctuating sound energy at both near the surface and the bottom of the water layer. Those fluctuation are mainly due to the mode function behavior along the depth where the sound-speed gradient acts like trapping lower mode sound energy in those medium.

40-100m 수심에 평탄한 모래층으로 구성된 구성된 친해를 1/1,000모형으로 축소시킨 무향수조내에서 Pekeris 모델에 대한 normal mode 관측실험을 점수신기로 수행하였다. 무향수조에 사용된 쐐기형 흡음재가 50kHz이상에서 20-25dB의 반향음 감쇠율을 가지므로 해서 이 수조가 해양과 유사한 조건을 갖게 되었으며, 실험에 사용된 점수신기는 B&K의 8130 수중청음기에 음향중심으로부터 조그만 크기의 사각형 틈을 제외하고 pressure-release 물질을 씌움으로써 얻을 수 있었다. 이 실험을 통해 얻은 결과들을 종합해 보면 연속모드의 피적분함수가 cut-off로부터 멀어지면 불연속모드의 합으로만 된 이론식과는 대략 수심의 10배 이내에서 다소 차이를 보일 뿐 전 관측거리에서 실험결과와 비교적 잘 일치하고 있다. 그러나 연속모드의 공진이 cut-off에 가까워 질수록 가상모드가 음향에 미치는 역할이 증대되어 근거리에서는 불연속모드의 합으로만 된 이론식과 큰 차이가 날 뿐만 아니라 영향이 미치는 거리가 수심의 수십배까지 증가함을 볼 수 있다. 특히 불연속모드의 개수가 2개이고 cut-off로부터 아주 가까운 가상모드가 존재할 경우, 가상모드가 수심의 60배 가까운 거리까지 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

Ocean noise may be used for monitoring wind speed and rainfall rate on the sea surface, as well as for tracking whales' migration routes. In particular, low-frequency ocean noise has recently been of concern with relation to the behavior of marine mammals. Low-frequency ocean noise has been increasing over the past few decades due to increase of ship traffic and offshore oil industry activities. Mechanical noise such as flow noise and cable strumming noise may be induced if low-frequency ocean noise is measured by cabled traditional hydrophone in high current areas. To successfully measure low-frequency ocean noise in a shallow water environment with strong current, we developed a self-recording hydrophone. This paper describes the main configurations of the self-recording hydrophone and presents some results on measured data.

In port and coastal areas where ship traffic is frequent, ship noise dominantly influences underwater noise in low frequency band below 1 kHz. In this paper, we propose a modeling method to estimate the underwater shipping noise using the voyage information of ship observed in AIS (Automatic Identification System). For the purpose of ship noise modeling, the navigation information of the vessels operating in the southern part of Jeju was observed using AIS and underwater noise was measured by installing a hydrophone in the experimental area to verify the modeled ship noise. AIS data were used to model the noise level of ship and compared with measured underwater noise. The variation of noise level with time was found to be similar, and the cause of the error was discussed. Through this study, it was confirmed that the noise level of ship can be estimated within 5 dB error range using AIS data.

Underwater ambient noise level was measured at two points near the Youngil Bay. The environmental characteristics depend upon oceanographic conditions of sound propagation ana its implication on the source of ambient noise. Some noise sources were estimated, and the effect of the oceanographic conditions on the noise level variation had been considered. The results were as follows : 1) At the nearshore station of Youngil Bay, the ambient noise level in the near bottom(45m) was lower than that of the near surface(10m) by 15dB. This difference was due to spherical spreading from the upper to the lower layer. 2) At the open sea station which is located outside of the thermal front existing near the Youngil Bay, the ambient noise level of the upper layer(20m) was higher than that of the lower layer (100m) by $8{\sim}12dB$ below 50Hz and $15{\sim}23dB$ above 50Hz. 3) Above 60Hz the ambient noise level at the nearshore station was higher than that of the open sea station, while below 60Hz, the result was reverse. It appears that a boundary layer existed between the two stations.

One of good DF(Direction Finding) methods is based on TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival) estimation when finding underwater moving target. For small DF error, high time resolution A/D(Analog-to-digital) conversion board and long baseline are needed. But the result of sea trial about close-range and high speed moving target, spatial correlation coefficient and appeared poor properties below 0.3 when hydrophone arrangement are separated over 6 ${\lambda}$ because of underwater fading channel. And we also find out that the distance between hydrophone should be under 4 ${\lambda}$ apart to take advantage of spatial correlation coefficient gain and performance of DF in underwater moving channel environments.

PZT powders were prepared by the molten salt synthesis method. The porous PZT ceramics were made from a mixture of PZT and polyvinylalcohol(PVA) by BURPS(Burnout Plastic Sphere) technique. The porous PZT bodies were fabricated from the green compacts with various amounts of PVA spheres. The piezoelectric coefficient d$_{33}$ (334~350*10$^{-12}$ C/N)of porous PZT ceramics(364*10$^{-12}$ C/N). The figure of merit(d$_{h}$g$_{h}$) of porous PZT specimens evaluating the sensitivity for ultrasonic transducer applications was improved significantly(11~70times) in comparison with that of single phase PZT ceramics(100*10$^{-15}$ m$^{2}$/N). The thickness mode coupling factor k$_{t}$(0.5~0.6) of porous specimens was comparable with that of single phase PZT ceramics(k$_{t}$=0.7). The mechanical quality factor of porous PZT specimens was smaller than 10, and thus these porous PZT ceramics would be believed as a good candidate for broad band hydrophone applications.

Optical sensing techniques have been associated with high sensitivity and precise measurements and attracted considerable attention in recent years. In this paper, two channels TDM(Time Division Multiplexing) fiber-optic hydrophone array for the underwater applications was fabricated and their acoustic characteristics were investigated by using the acoustic water tank. A fiber length of the order of 100m is wounded at the hollow cylinder type aluminum mandrel. An unbalanced interferometer (discrete Mach-Zehnder type) was used. Sound detection performance is tested in the underwater tank with 2kHz continuous sound source. Finally, it is shown that two channels TDM(Time Division Multiplexing) fiber-optic hydrophone array can detect 2kHz sound stably.
