The use of an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometric amplitude modulator to measure a relatively low frequency electric field strength is described. The sensitivity of an electric field sensor using a $Ti:LiMbO_3$ optical modulator is strongly affected by the shape of a electrode(probe antenna). To measure the low frequency electric field, a probe antenna of wide effective area is more useful than the usual dipole antenna. As a proof of this, the optical modulator was fabricated with a plate-type probe antenna and the usefulness of this antenna tested for measuring low frequency electric field strength. Measurements were performed in the range 0.1 V/cm to 60 V/cm at 60Hz through 100 kHz. Using a probe antenna of $10\;mm{\times}10\;mm$, the output voltage of $10^{-2}\;mV$ was measured with respect to the electric field strength of 0.1 V/cm at 60 Hz. By increasing the effective area of the probe antenna, better sensitivity is obtainable over the measured range.

Exertion has been made to develop high-temperature (about $250{\sim}650^{\circ}C$) immersion ultrasonic sensor for the visualization of objects, temperature measurement, dimensional check, or nondestructive testing of welds under liquid sodium. In this study, the feasibility of the ultrasonic sensor taking advantage of a strip waveguide was confirmed by water-experiment. The lowest order of antisymmetric Lamb wave was used in the frequency range with negligible dispersion. This plate wave was excited in the stainless steel strip waveguide of 1.0mm thickness and 13mm width by the comb-structure transducer of 2.3MHz frequency. Its attenuation coefficient was 1.2dB/m in air and 380dB/m in water. The signal to noise ratio of 25dB was obtained from a planar reflector 270mm away from the beam aperture of $13mm{\times}39mm$ size.

Up until now, attempts to produce computer instruments have been largely focused on two types of sampling methods and physical modeling. Since the sampling method removes much of the harmonics in the sampling process, the effect of exciter that emphasizing the harmonic of the strings are mini. However, the physical modeling method can produce a lot of harmonics, and by emphasizing the harmonics of a particular frequency band among these harmonics, it is possible to produce a sound more like a lively sound. In this paper, we propose a method of using white noise in realizing exciter emphasizing harmonics of pre - specified frequency band in prefectural physical modeling. And comparing the envelope and spectrum of the Gayageum sound, we confirmed that the physical modeling method with the exciter is more suitable for the actual Gayageum sound than the sampling method and the conventional physical modeling method.

This paper describes a ultrasonic signal processing front-end IC for distance range meter and body detector. The burst shaped ultrasonic signal is generated by a self oscillator and its frequency range is about 40[kHz]-300[kHz]. The generated ultrasonic signal transmit through piezo resonator. The another piezo device transduce from received ultrasonic signal to electrical signals. This front-end IC contained low noise amplifier, band pass filter, busrt detector and time pulse generator and so on. This IC has two type of new idea for improve function and performance, which are self frequency control (SFC) and Variable Gain Control amplifier (VGC) scheme. The dimensions and number of external parts are minimized in order to get a smaller hardware size. This device has been fabricated in a O.6[um] double poly, double metal 40[V] High Voltage CMOS process.

Methane hydrates are considered important in terms of their effect on global warming and as potential energy resources. Now, mainly the presence of a BSR and seismic velocity are used for estimation of methane hydrate concentration in the seismic reflection survey. But recent studies on seismic attenuation show that it can be used also to estimate methane hydrates concentration. In this study, we tried to estimate attenuation from 2D seismic reflection data acquired at Nankai Trough in Japan and analyzed attenuation properties in methane hydrate bearing sediments. Seismic attenuation estimated by QVO method in an offset range $125{\sim}1,575m$. We observed high attenuation in methane hydrate bearing sediments over BSR in a frequency range of 30-70Hz. Thus, this result demonstrates that seismic reflection wave within this frequency range are affected significantly by the existence of methane hydrate concentration zone.

The thickness, loading, and broadband noise generated from the trailing edge of the UH-1H main rotor are numerically compared each other. The Kocureck and Tangler's prescribed wake model is adopted to represent the wake geometry during the hovering motion. Three tip Mach numbers of $M_{T}$ = 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8, are selected to analyze the effects of different tip Mach numbers. At $M_{T}$ = 0.8, in considering the A-weighting and audible frequency band, the random noise is smaller than the tonal noises such as the thickness and the loading noise which have the low frequency characteristics. Especially most of the random noise frequency spread on the ultrasound region. On the other hand, below $M_{T}$ = 0.4, the band of random noise moves to the audible frequency region, and the random noise becomes larger than the tonal noise. It turns out that the random noise analysis of the rotor should be necessary at low speed operating condition.

This study presents the structure design of antenna to have the dual band characteristics in a desired frequency band through the structural modification of an antenna structure. For the experiment, a wideband crossed planar monopole antenna was used. The target frequency band was set to ISM 2.45GHz/5.8GHz. To give the properties, an additional antenna element was added to the crossed planar monopole antenna, which is a main body of the antenna. And then structural adjustment parameter was set to change the length(shape) of the antenna. Various simulations were conducted to find the dual band characteristics in the desired frequency band. The simulations brought forth the antenna bandwidth above the normal values for ISM 2.45GHz/5.8GHz. The structural adjustment parameter introduced in this study for structural modification of an antenna can be useful in developing an antenna featured with dual band(multiband) characteristics.

KSTAR 토카막의 두번째 실험 캠페인 동안 고속파 전자가열 (FWEH)을 위한 ICRF 고주파입사 실험을 실시하였다. 토로이달 자기장은 2 T, 플라즈마 전류는 200-300 kA, 주반경은 1.8 m, 부반경은 0.5 m의 원형 플라즈마가 가열 대상이 되었으며, 네개의 ICRF 안테나 전류띠 가운데 중심부의 두개의 전류띠를 최대 300 kW로 구동하기 위한 운전 주파수는 44.2 MHz가 선택 되었다. 이 주파수는 플라즈마의 모든 영역에서 이온 사이클로트론 공명을 일으키지 않으므로 플라즈마에 흡수되는 대부분의 출력은 전자에게 전달될 것으로 기대되었다. 낮은 고주파-플라즈마 결합으로 인하여 전송선의 최대 고주파 전압이 허용치를 초과하기 때문에 비교적 낮은 최대 출력만이 허용 되었으나, ECE에 의해 관측된 전자의 온도는 국지적으로 최대 150 % 까지 증가하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 낮은 고주파-플라즈마 결합의 첫번째 원인은 FWEH의 효율이 이온을 가열할 때 보다 상대적으로 낮기 때문이다. 플라즈마 내에 이온 사이클로트론 공명층이 형성되면 높은 효율로 고주파를 입사 할 수 있다는 것은 잘 알려진 사실이다. 또다른 원인은 D 형상의 플라즈마에 맞도록 만들어진 안테나와, 원형 플라즈마간의 부조화로 인하여 고속파 차단층이 (Fast Wave Cutt-off Layer) 평균적으로 넓게 형성되기 때문이다. 플라즈마 외곽에 반드시 존재하는 낮은 플라즈마 밀도의 고속파 차단층 내부에서, 중심부로 향하는 고주파의 진폭은 지수함수로 감쇠하므로 가능하면 플라즈마 밀도를 높여 차단층 자체의 폭을 줄이거나, 안테나 전류띠를 플라즈마에 바짝 접근시켜야만 한다. 고주파 진단 장치로는 송출기의 출력과 반사파 측정 장치, 공명루프의 전압 측정 장치가 있는데, 이것들을 이용하여 안테나에 전달되는 출력 및 고주파-플라즈마 결합 효율을 나타내는 플라즈마에 대한 고주파 부하 저항을 구할 수 있다. 측정 결과, 부하 저항의 최소값은 진공시 또는 ICRF만의 방전시의 값 0.25 Ohm 보다 큰 0.5 Ohm을 나타냈으며, 최대값은 플라즈마의 상태에 따라 1 Ohm에서 2 Ohm 사이에서 매우 빠르게 요동하는 것을 확인했다. Mm 파 반사계의 측정에 의하면 플라즈마 언저리의 위치가 약 3 cm 정도의 크기로 요동하는 것으로 나타났는데, 부하 저항과 언저리 위치의 파형이 정확하게 일치하지 않지만 유사한 경향성을 가진 것으로 보인다. 따라서 플라즈마 언저리 위치의 제어를 통하여 가열 효율을 높게 유지할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 본 발표에서는 실험의 소개와 함께 부하 저항의 관점에서 가열 효율을 높일 방안을 토론하도록 한다.

Resonating thermal lags of solid fuel with heat transfer oscillations generated by boundary layer oscillation is the primary mechanism of the occurrence of the LFI (Low Frequency Combustion Instability) in hybrid rocket combustion. This study was experimentally attempted to confirm that how the boundary layer was perturbed and led to the LFI. Special attention was also made on oxidizer swirl injection to investigate the contribution to combustion stabilization. Also the overall behavior of fluctuating boundary layer flow and the occurrence of the LFI was monitored as swirl intensity increased. Fluctuating boundary layer was successfully monitored by the captured image and POD (Proper Orthogonal Decomposition) analysis. In the results, oscillating boundary layer became stabilized as the swirl intensity increases. And the coupling strength between high frequency p', q' diminished and periodical amplification of RI (Rayleigh Index) with similar frequency band of thermal lag was also decreased. Thus, results confirmed that oscillating axial boundary layer triggered by periodic coupling of high frequency p', q' is the primary mechanism to excite thermal resonance with thermal lag characteristics of solid fuel.
