In this study, a method predicting the displacement response of structures from the measured dynamic strain signal is proposed by using mode decomposition technique. Evaluation of bridge stability is normally focused on the bridge completed. However, dynamic loadings including wind and seismic loadings could be exerted to the bridge under construction. In order to examine the bridge stability against these dynamic loadings, the prediction of displacement response is very important to evaluate bridge stability. Because it may be not easy for the displacement response to be acquired directly on site, an indirect method to predict the displacement response is needed. Thus, as an alternative for predicting the displacement response indirectly, the conversion of the measured strain signal into the displacement response is suggested, while the measured strain signal can be obtained using fiber optic Bragg-grating (FBG) sensors. As previous studies on the prediction of displacement response by using the FBG sensors, the static displacement has been mainly predicted. For predicting the dynamic displacement, it has been known that the measured strain signal includes higher modes and then the predicted dynamic displacement can be inherently contaminated by broad-band noises. To overcome such problem, a mode decomposition technique was used. Mode decomposition technique estimates the displacement response of each mode with mode shape estimated to use POD from strain signal and with the measured strain signal decomposed into mode by EMD. This is a method estimating the total displacement response combined with the each displacement response about the major mode of the structure. In order to examine the mode decomposition technique suggested in this study model experiment was performed.

In this paper, the SNR estimation error of Decision Directed SNR estimation method in AWGN is investigated, which uses samples received in reference decision region. In communication system receiver, when SNR estimation scheme using error vectors between ideal sample points and received sample points of reference region is adopted, the samples contain incorrectly received samples due to AWGN. Consequently, the mean of estimated reference constellation point is shifted and Decision Directed SNR estimation is inaccurately performed. These effects are explained by modified probability density function and difference between actual SNR and estimated SNR is theoretically derived and quantatively analyzed. It is proved that SNR estimation error obtained through computer simulation is matched up with derived one, and SNR estimation performance is enhanced significantly by adopting suggested correction scheme.

This paper follows up the previous work on the linearly constrained, modified minimum mean-squared error(MMSE) detection for direct-sequence code-division multiple-access DS-CDMA) systems in fading channels. We find a condition to avoid the breakdown of joint modified MMSE detection and pilot symbol-aided channel estimation (PSACE). The linearly constrained, modified MMSE solution is theoretically shown to be robust against time variations in Rayleigh fading channels. This fact is consistent with the simulation results. We also show that under some conditions the linearly constrained, modified MMSE detection maximizes the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio.(SINR)

As a new type of a linear decorrelating receiver, the Pseudo-Decorrelator was presented for asynchronous code division multiple access systems by the author. In this paper, the concept of the Pseudo-Decorrelator is extended to derive a multiuser receiver for WCDMA uplink systems over a Rayleigh fading multipath channel. Starting with the analysis of the multiple access components of the decision statistics, a non-square cross-correlation matrix for each bit is obtained. This cross-correlation matrix is then inverted, and the inverted matrix is applied to the decision statistics obtained from a conventional receiver. This receiver is near-far resistant and outperforms conventional receivers even for the cases in which synchronization errors, such as time delay errors and phase errors exist.

The authors have investigated the acoustic field analysis using the Constrained Interpolation Profile(CIP) Method recently proposed by Yabe. The present study has examined the calculation accuracy of the three-dimensional (3-D) acoustic field analysis using the type-M CIP method. In this paper we show phase error of type-M CIP method and the dependence on the wave-propagation direction in the type-M CIP acoustic field analysis, and then demonstrate that it is effective for acoustic field analysis, compared with the FDTD and the exact solution. We show the dependency on the propagation angle in the CIP acoustic field analysis.

본 논문은 자동 시각 굴절력 곡률계의 전자 부문에 연동될 곡률 측정 알고리즘을 소개한다. 만약 자동화된 시스템이 광학계로부터 나오는 영상을 이용하여 내부 처리를 거친 후 정확 시각 측정치를 검사자에게 알려줄 수 있다면 잘못 측정되는 측정 횟수를 크게 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 형태학적 필터링(morphological filtering)과 그레이-레벨의 신호 강조(signal enhance) 기술들을 이용하여 자동시각 굴절력 곡률계에 연동될 각막 곡률 측정 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 알고리즘에서는 광학계로부터 도출된 링 모양 광원의 화상을 처리하기 위해서 새로운 방법을 사용하는 대신에 굴절력 측정을 위해서 6개의 점으로 구성된 화상을 처리하는 방식으로 변형 적용시킨다. 이 때 링의 띠를 6개의 덩어리점으로 변형하는 과정만을 제외하면 굴절력 화상을 처리하는 방식과 같게 된다. 이는 알고리즘의 간결화와 측정 시간을 줄이는 효과를 얻게 된다. 그리하여 본 각막 곡률 측정 알고리즘은 정한 측정 값 도출이 어려운 시각 영상에 적용되어 효과적으로 오차를 줄임으로써 보다 효율적인 시각 측정을 가능하게 하였다.

Location information is a critical element of ubiquitous computing. Cricket is an indoor location-based system that transmits radio and ultrasonic signals in regular intervals to calculate the distance between nodes. However, the amount of signal interference and collisions increases in proportion with the number of nodes, losing the accuracy of the location-based system. This study proposes an algorithm based on the 802.15.2 MAC protocol for the wireless sensor network to reduce signal interference and collision by employing node numbers and the frequency reuse approach used in mobile telecommunication. We analyzed the performance of our algorithm. The obtained results showed that the algorithm is an effective for throughput and energy compared to the Cricket system.

RTLS 시스템은 이동 객체에 RTLS 태그를 부착한 후 태그에서 발산되는 신호를 이용하여 실시간으로 위치를 파악하는 시스템으로 최근 항만 물류 및 자산 관리 분야에서 객체의 실시간 위치를 파악하기 위해 활용되고 있다. RTLS 시스템은 태그의 위치를 측정하기 위해 삼각 측량 법이나, Proximity matching법을 사용한다. 삼각 측량법은 3개 이상의 리더에서 수신된 신호 세기나 신호의 도달 시간을 이용하여 삼각측량 방식으로 위치를 결정하는 알고리즘으로, 전파의 난반사나 장애물등에 민감하며, Proximity matching법은 위치 샘플링 값에 대한 근접성을 이용한 통계 정보를 바탕으로 하여 위치를 결정하는 알고리즘으로 위치 정확도를 높일 수 있으나, 샘플링 데이터 개수에 따라 정확도가 크게 변화하는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 위치 정보의 오차를 줄이기 위하여, Fingerprint 방식의 확률 모델에 TDOA 방식에서 사용되는 요소들을 혼합하여 확률에 의한 불확실성을 줄이고 더 높은 정확도의 위치 정보를 전달하는 위치 보정 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 2단계 위치 보정 기법은 먼저, Fingerprint 데이터 셋으로부터 현재 측정된 위치의 신호정보를 이용한 확률 모델을 적용하여 단 하나의 후보자를 결정한다. 둘째, 측정된 정보와 후보자 위치 정보를 기반으로 TDOA에서 사용하는 기하학적 위치 결정 방법을 변형한 알고리즘을 이용해 측정된 위치를 보정함으로써, TDOA 방식이나, Fingerprint 방식 둘 중 하나만 사용하는 것보다 향상된 위치의 정확도를 제공한다. 그리고 본 논문에서는 제안한 위치 보정 기법을 위한 위치 보정 모듈을 설계하였으며, RTLS 미들웨어에 이를 반영하여 구현하였다.

Existing beacons are suitable for providing untact services, but they have the disadvantage of difficulty in accurate indoor positioning because the deviation in signal strength increases depending on the environment. In general, trilateration technique can reduce deviation, but if the distance between beacons is quite irregular, it becomes difficult to apply the algorithm. Therefore, in this paper, we studied how to reduce the signal power measurement error between beacons. First, we transformed the distance measurement formula using RSSI, assuming that the TX values were the same. In addition, we compared measurement errors with existing beacons by searching beacons with beacons scanner applications implemented with Android. As a result, it was confirmed that if a certain distance was further away, the measurement was measured more accurately than the non-changing beacon. Through this, accurate indoor positioning will be possible even in various disability situations. It is also expected that there will be more cases of establishing services that combine beacon with non-face-to-face services.

Strain imaging in a medical ultrasound imaging system can differentiate the cancer or tumor in a lesion that is stiffer than the surrounding tissue. In this paper, a strain imaging technique using quasistatic compression is implemented that estimates the displacement between pre- and postcompression ultrasound echoes and obtains strain by differentiating it in the spatial direction. Displacements are computed from the phase difference of complex baseband signals obtained using their autocorrelation, and errors associated with converting the phase difference into time or distance are compensated for by taking into the center frequency variation. Also, to reduce the effect of operator's hand motion, the displacements of all scanlines are normalized with the result that satisfactory strain image quality has been obtained. These techniques have been incorporated into implementing a medical ultrasound strain imaging system that operates in real time.
