Precise control of antenna position is very critical in ArcSAR system which uses an arc-rail as a platform for the antenna movement instead of linear rail. In order to minimize the antenna positional error, we improved the motion driving system and applied a newly developed motion control S/W which utilizes the real time antenna position information from magnetic linear scale and encoder. The experimental results showed that the rotational RMS error was reduced to $0.0062^{\circ}$ from $0.0432^{\circ}$. In terms of antenna positional RMS error for the arm length of 3m, it was reduced to 0.324mm from 2.262mm. It is expected that the ArcSAR system can be used to monitor the sub-millimetric displacement of terrain and structural targets.

This paper studies particularly applicable method for sensorless PM BLDC motor drive system. The waveform of the motor internal voltages(or back emf) contains a fundamental and higher order frequency harmonics. Therefore the third harmonic component is extracted from the stator phase voltage. The resulting third harmonic signal keeps a constant phase relationship with the rotor flux for any motor speed and load condition. Also because of low resolution of estimated signal obtained by the proposed sensorless algorithm, to improve the wide range of speed response characteristic more exactly, we propose the rotor position signal synthesizer using PLL circuit based on estimated signals. Some experimental results are provided to demonstrate the validity of the proposed control method.

In this paper a development of shaft power measuring system for a small vessel is discussed. It is important that the exact power measurement of marine engine which is used for ship's propulsion since the engine power is related to ship's usage and its shaft design. Two gearwheel and magnetic sensors are adopted to measure torsional angle on the shaft. High resolution encoder is also applied to compensate the output signal from gearwheel. The calculation of shaft power is executed using measured signal and angular velocity of rotating machine and the result is plotted on the monitoring screen.

The video transmission system using OFDM method at 18GHz frequency band was developed for wireless video transmission from subway to monitoring center when subway running. It is composed of digital modulation board and RF board. And it has a robust characteristics of multipath fading in subway tunnels at 18GHz. To verify the system, we used spectrum analyzer for analysing the output of transmission system and get the results that it has 350MHz frequency, 8MHz bandwidth and -19dBm channel power. Also we tested video receiving using MPEG-2 encoder and got good quality images.

In this study, the contactless measurement method with a optical displacement sensor(ODS, ADNS 9500) was proposed to overcome flaws in a rotary encoder based measurement under particular circumstances, such as a slippage and a case of little rotational inertia. The performance tests of the optical displacement sensor using data acquisition board and National Instruments's LabVIEW program were performed to accomplish accurate displacement measurements and the performance characteristics according to measurement direction, speed, acceleration, height and surface types were discovered through the repetitive tests. The experimental results indicate that, in order to get an accurate in-plane motion, the height(distance between the ODS and the target surface) has to be maintained at the range of 2.4 mm to 3.2 mm and the sensitivity(resolution) should be modified and applied to the formulae for displacement calculation, considering its measurement direction, speed and surface type.

This paper presents a method of detecting rotor position for single phase Switched Reluctance Motors(SRMs) using a search coil. In the single phase SRM, mainly Hall effect sensors or photo interrupters have been used to detect the rotor position. But these sensors have many disadvantages. In this paper, low cost and robust characteristics of rotor position detection method are focused in order to compensate for disadvantage of existing sensors. Search coils wound around the stator pole are used for detection of the rotor position in single phase SRM. Rotor position detection is achieved through electromotive force patterns induced by time-varying flux linkage in the search coil. The simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the performance of the proposed method in this paper.

In this paper, we propose a novel pc-based 8-channel USB interface digital multi-controller (DMC) has capacity to be able to adjust ultrasonic motor's (USM's) the parameters-frequency, amplitude, phase difference using FPGA. The proposed DMC can control parameters directly by digital logic through a FPGA. Since it has counter circuit for rotary encoder to measure position and velocity of USM, the other separate circuits are unnecessary. Therefore, it could reduce the size of controller and the production cost. Finally, to verify the performance of proposed DMC, we tested the speed characteristic of two types USM with no-load as adjusting the parameters.

In brushless DC motors (BLDC), the on/off angle of the switch is determined by the optimal alignment of the stator and rotor, while switched reluctance motors (SRM) are complex parameters with many on/off angles of the switch. It appears as a function and therefore the switching angle is variable for optimal operation. Therefore, in order to operate the switched reluctance motor (SRM) optimally, the rotor position can be detected using a high resolution position sensor and a complicated additional circuit. In this paper, rotor position detection and related position detection circuits are applied and detected by using various sensors such as encoder, hall sensor and opto interrupter among several methods to drive switched reluctance motor (SRM). Also a study on securing the initial position of the rotor was conducted.

In this paper, we proposed a method to reduce the error of compass by combining the ceiling technique used in the past with modern IT technology. We combined an encoder and the Azimuth Circle for applying an algorithm. The algorithm is able to calculate the true north by using astronomical observation. Finally, we implemented the embedded system possible to indicate various situations and perform calculations. As a result, it isn't only able to calculate the true north with an error of about $0.2^{\circ}$ but also takes less than 5 seconds. Originally, using astronomical observation requires more than 5minutes. So it is analyzed as convenient by solving the problem of taking lots of time. Especially, we present the tolerance less than $0.5^{\circ}$ by the analysis of the existing gyrocompass and the bearing standard of IMO. In conclusion, we clearly confirm that the results of this paper are possible to reduce the error of various compasses in a real world.

The powers used in the motor drive system are mostly DC sources like batteries. Even AC powers in some systems are generated from DC sources by the inverter. It is can be forecasted that the DC-link communications will be widely used in various industrial fields. In this paper a novel BLDC motor drive system using DC-link communications is proposed. The characteristic of this system Is that the communication only needs 2 DC lines. There are not additional lines to translate the reference signals. And the reliability o3 the system is ensured especially under some terrible circumstances. The number of lines can be minimized when the DC-link communication method is applied in the multi motor control system and the slip ring design also can be simplified when this method is applied in rotation machines. The proposed motor system is clarified by the PSIM and MATLAB simulations and tested through the hardware prototype.
