In this paper, we proposed the method of the characteristic impedance and effective dielectric constant calculations of the shielded microstrip line with ground aperture using conformal mapping method. This method has advantages that can calculate the transmission parameters without using any other numerical method because present the closed form equations. First of all, we supposed the signal propagate with the microstrip mode(Quasi-TEM) and calculated the capacitance divide by three sections and calculated the characteristic impedance and effective dielectric constant using calculated capacitances. From the HFSS simulation result, calculated result was very similar to the simulation result within the five percent error range.

In This paper, We designed the scintillation detector for measuring radiation signals in units of pixels for a radiation source that is distributed in the space. And we carried out a study to design a radiation imaging by the module for obtaining the detection signal. For measuring radiation distribution we configure a radiation detector combining CsI(Tl) scintillator and a photodiode. In addition, its performance was verified via gamma irradiation test.

To reduce the outage probability and to increase the transmission capacity, the importance of repeaters in cellular systems keeps increasing. Unlike optical repeaters which require wireline connections, RF repeaters are easy to install, have low limitations in location and also have a reduced operational expense such as the optical fiber maintenance cost. On the other hand, RF repeaters suffer the interference due to the feedback signals between the transmitter and receiver antennas, hence require an extra interference cancellation method when the amount of the feedback signal reduction by using the shielding is not sufficient. In this paper, a channel estimation method for two-path feedback interference signals in the ICS (Interference Cancellation System) repeaters using baseband signal processing is proposed and its performance is evaluated. When compared with the conventional method which estimates each multipath individually, the proposed method achieves 10 dB performance gain in terms of the normalized mean-squared-error.

Stealth technology is a technique to avoid detection from detectors such as radar and infrared seekers. In particular, detection by infrared signature is more threatening because infrared missiles detect heat from the aircraft itself. Therefore, infrared stealth technology is essential for ensuring the survival of aircraft and unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV). In this study, we analyzed aerodynamic and infrared stealth performance in relation to UCAV nozzle design. Based on simulation results, a double serpentine nozzle was effective in reducing the infrared signature because it could shield high-temperature components in the engine. In addition, we observed that the infrared signature was reduced at the turning position of the duct located at the rear part of the double serpentine nozzle.

This work compared the bright calibration of digital radiation with signal-to-noise ratio and basic spatial resolution according to multi frame to enable effective inspection of welding parts of structures at industrial sites. A total of 130 images were obtained by using a ⁷⁵Se radiation source for flat weld test pieces and segmenting bright calibration and multi frame prior to shooting. The study confirms that the signal-to-noise ratio improves as the number of bright calibrations and the number of multi frame increases. The basic spatial resolution satisfied the baseline for both radiographic images. It was confirmed that the number of signal-to-noise ratio was similar by comparing images taken after installing lead shielding for scattering radiation. Although signal-to-noise ratio increases as multi frame increases, it is believed that good quality digital radiographs can be obtained if appropriate radiographic techniques are devised because exposure time of radiation affects workers' exposure and work efficiency.

To measure the vortex structures within the turbulent boundary layer, a hot-wire sensor was mounted on a stepper motor controller and moved to the designated measurement points. Near the surface within the flow field, the velocity is relatively slow, making the measurements highly sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) during signal processing. This EMI primarily originates from the power supplies of computers and other electronic equipment. In our experimental setup, EMI was introduced into BNC cables connected to the hot-wire sensor from the powered stepper motor. When power was supplied to the motor controller to move the hot-wire sensor, EMI appeared on the oscilloscope screen. Consequently, unexpected noise was present in the data measured by the hot-wire sensor. To mitigate this and enhance the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) during measurements, the connecting cables were shielded, and an old computer without EMI shielding was replaced.

The number of mobile terminals equipped with a GPS module is steadily increasing today. However, because they using code pseudorange measurements in positioning, the positioning accuracy of mobile terminals is lower than that of those receivers using carrier phases. Especially, the multipath signal causes more significant errors in code pseudoranges. Therefore, the techniques of multipath detection and elimination is necessary. In this study, as an initial analysis of multipath detection and elimination technique development, we tested the feasibility of multipath signal detection using GPS signal strength information. We found that the GPS signal strength increases as the elevation angle gets higher in the open-sky environment. Also, we found that the signal strength decreases when there were some signal reflectors nearby. We checked the repeatability of the signal strength variation characteristics by reflecting repeat time of GPS satellites. As a result, this characteristics repeats almost perfectly when GPS satellites pass the same orbit. Therefore, we found that it is not a temporary phenomenon and the multipath signal detection should be possible by using GPS signal strength information.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect on the phantom for magnetic resonance imaging located nearby by partially shielding RF with a mesh made thinner than hair composed of copper, black metal, and polyester using metallic materials of titanium, which are commonly used for esophageal stents and implants in the body. Magnetic resonance images according to field of view (FOV) were analyzed in the Spin Echo T1 weighted images of TR 500 ms, TE 20 ms, NEX 1, and slice thickness 5mm using a Cardiac coil of 3T Achieva X-series. Aliasing artifact did not occur in FOV 304 mm × 304 mm, but it occurred in 250 mm × 250 mm and 170 mm × 170 mm. In FOV 170 mm × 170 mm, when a mesh was not used, the SNR was measured with 78.23, and when separated by standing a mesh in the middle, it was 215.05, and when completely shielded with a mesh, the SNR was 366.44. In addition, when completely shielded with a mesh, the aliasing artifact was also removed, and signal intensities on the left, middle and right of the image were also able to obtain homogeneous images compared to the previous two cases. In conclusion, if RF is partially shielded with a mesh, aliasing artifact can be removed, and magnetic resonance images with excellent image resolution and homogeneity can be obtained using a small FOV.

Power-line communication technology is proposed to identify power transformers to serve customers in 3 phase -4 wires power distribution systems. Mathematical models for 3-phase power transformers, 3-phase wire lines, and customer loads are described to investigate the transmission characteristics of high frequency power line carrier. From the analysis, distribution line cable circuits have only a limited ability to carry higher frequencies. Typically power transformers in the distribution system prevent propagating the higher frequency carrier signal. The proposed method uses the limited propagation ability to identify the power transformer to serve customers. A novel power transformer identification system is designed and implemented. The system consists of a transmitter and a receiver with power-line communication module. Some experiments are conducted to verify the theoretical concepts in a big commercial building. Also some simulations are done to help and understand the concepts by using MATLAB Simulink simulator.
