In order to study gas hydrate, potential future energy resources, Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources has conducted seismic reflection survey in the East Sea since 1997. one of evidence for presence of gas hydrate in seismic reflection data is a bottom simulating reflector (BSR). The BSR occurs at the interface between overlaying higher velocity, hydrate-bearing sediment and underlying lower velocity, free gas-bearing sediment. That is often characterized by large reflection coefficient and reflection polarity reverse to that of seafloor reflection. In order to apply depth migration to seismic reflection data. we need high performance computers and a parallelizing technique because of huge data volume and computation. Phase shift plus interpolation (PSPI) is a useful method for migration due to less computing time and computational efficiency. PSPI is intrinsically parallelizing characteristic in the frequency domain. We conducted conventional data processing for the gas hydrate data of the Ease Sea and then applied prestack depth migration using message-passing-interface PSPI (MPI_PSPI) that was parallelized by MPI local-area-multi-computer (MPI_LAM). Velocity model was made using the stack velocities after we had picked horizons on the stack image with in-house processing tool, Geobit. We could find the BSRs on the migrated stack section were about at SP 3555-4162 and two way travel time around 2,950 ms in time domain. In depth domain such BSRs appear at 6-17 km distance and 2.1 km depth from the seafloor. Since energy concentrated subsurface was well imaged we have to choose acquisition parameters suited for transmitting seismic energy to target area.

As a check on calibration and drift in each discrete sub-system of a commercial frequency-domain airborne electromagnetic system, we aim to use causality constraints alone to predict in-phase from wide-band quadrature data. There are several possible applications of the prediction of in-phase response from quadrature data including: (1) quality control on base level drift, calibration and phase checks; (2) prediction and validation of noise levels in in-phase from quadrature measurements and vice versa and in future; and (3) interpolation and extrapolation of sparsely sampled data enforcing causality and better frequency-domain-time-domain transformations. In practice, using tests on both synthetic and measured Resolve helicopter-borne electromagnetic frequency domain data, in-phase data points could be predicted using a scaled Hilbert transform with a standard deviation between 40 and 80 ppm. However, relative differences between base levels between flight could be resolved to better than 1 ppm, which allows an independent quality control check on the accuracy of drift corrections.

A 3-GSymbol/s/lane transceiver, which supports the mobile industry processor interface (MIPI) C-physical layer (PHY) specification version 1.1, is proposed. It performs channel mismatch correction to improve the signal integrity that is deteriorated by using three-level signals over three channels. The proposed channel mismatch correction is performed by detecting channel mismatches in the receiver and adjusting the delay times of the transmission data in the transmitter according to the detection result. The channel mismatch detection in the receiver is performed by comparing the phases of the received signals with respect to the pre-determined data pattern transmitted from the transmitter. The proposed MIPI C-PHY receiver is designed using a 65 nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process with 1.2 V supply voltage. The area and power consumption of each transceiver lane are 0.136 ㎟ and 17.4 mW/GSymbol/s, respectively. The proposed channel mismatch correction reduces the time jitter of 88.6 ps caused by the channel mismatch to 34.9 ps.

This paper presents packet detection, frequency offset estimation architecture and performance analysis for OFDM-based wireless personal area network (WPAN) systems. Packet detection structure is used to find the start point of a packet exactly in WPAN system as the correlation value passes the constant threshold value. The applied autocorrelation structure of the algorithm can be implemented simply compared to conventional packet detection algorithms. The proposed frequency offset estimation architecture is designed for phase rotation process structure, internal bit reduction to reduce hardware size and the frequency offset adjustment block to reduce look-up table size unlike the conventional structure. If the received signal can be compensated by estimated frequency offset through the correction block, it can reduce the impact on the frequency offset. Through the performance result, the proposed structure has lower hardware complexity and gate count compared to the conventional structure. Thus, the proposed structure for OFDM-based WPAN systems can be applied to the initial synchronization process and high-speed low-power WPAN chips.

In this paper, an atmospheric effect of repetitive measurements of X-band (9.65 GHz) arc-rail type GB-SAR (ArcSAR) system was quantitatively analyzed. Four artificial triangular trihedral corner reflectors as stationary targets for getting stable back scattered signal during 43 hours continually. The results of the analysis showed that the phase of those stationary targets had changed maximum of 5 radian (12.4 mm) and total RMS error had was 1.62 radian (4 mm) during 65 repeated measuring time. The refractive index of air which was calculated using the temperature;humidity and pressure of atmosphere showed very close relationship with the phase difference. We could check the atmospheric correction was fulfilled by the correction of an atmospheric effect using refractive index during the selected 16 hours period showed that RMS error was dropped from 1.74 radian (4.3 mm) to 0.10 radian (0.24 mm).

Purpose : To develop a novel approach to calculate the sensitivity profiles of the phased array coil for use in non-uniform intensity correction. Materials and Methods : The proposed intensity correction method estimates the sensitivity profile of the coil to extract intensity variations that represent the scanned image. The sensitivity profile is estimated by fitting a non-linear curve to various angles of projections through the imaged object in order to eliminate the high-frequency image content. Filtered back projection is then used to compute the estimates of the sensitivity profile of each coil. The method was applied both to phantom and brain images from 8-channel phased-array coil and 4-channel phased-array coil, respectively. Results : Intensity-corrected images from the proposed method have more uniform intensity than those from the commonly used 'sum-of-squares' approach. By using the proposed correction method, the intensity variation was reduced to $6.1\%$ from $13.1\%$, acquired from the 'sum-of-squares'. Conclusion : The proposed method is more effective at correcting the intensity non-uniformity of the phased-array surface-coil images than the conventional 'sum-of-squares' method.

Despite the advantage of unlimited access, there are insufficient studies for the accuracy and stability of FKP that blocks the spread of the system for various applications. Therefore, we performed a long-term analysis from continuous real-time positioning, and investigated the error characteristics dependent on the size and the surrounding environment. The FKP shows significant changes in the positioning accuracy at different times of day, where the accuracy during daytime is worse than that of nighttime. In addition, the size and deviation of FKP correction may change with the ionospheric conditions, and high correlation between ambiguity resolution rate and the deviation of correction was observed. The receivers continuously request the correction information in order to cope with sudden variability of ionosphere. On the other hand, the correction information was not received up to an hour in case of stable ionospheric condition. It is noteworthy that the outliers of FKP are clustered in their position with some biases. Since several meters of errors can be occurred for kinematic positioning with FKP, therefore, it is necessary to make appropriate preparation for real-time applications.

최근 3D HDTV (3-Dimensional High Definition Television)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 국내에서도 3D HDTV 방송 서비스를 위하여 기존의 ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) 8-VSB (8-Vestigial Side Band) 시스템을 수정하려는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도 프레임 생성 과정에서 프레임 헤드 부분에 PN (Pseudo-Noise)심볼을 사용하는 새로운 시스템의 개념을 제안하고, 이 시스템을 수정된 ATSC 시스템이라 부를 것이다. 수정된 ATSC 시스템은 기존 ATSC 8-VSB 시스템에서 사용되던 VSB 변조방식을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 수정된 ATSC 시스템에 적용 가능한 반송파 주파수 복구 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 반송파 주파수 복구 방식은 Fitz 알고리즘을 사용하는 거친 주파수 복구부와 간단한 PN심볼 상관 알고리즘을 사용하는 미세 주파수 복구부로 구성된다. 그리고 진폭만을 변조하여 사용하는 VSB 변조 방식의 경우 심볼 정보가 동위상 채널에만 존재하고, 직교위상 채널은 단순히 동위상 채널의 힐버트 변환된 값에 지나지 않는다. 그러므로 VSB 변조된 심볼은 QAM 변조된 심볼 처럼 일정한 배열을 가지지 않고, 반송파 주파수 옵셋에 더욱 민감하게 된다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 수신된 PN심볼에 대한 위상 보정 과정을 수행하고, 이 과정은 수정된 ATSC 시스템의 반송파 주파수 복구 시 성능을 향상 시킨다.

In order to correct mismatches between neighboring digital maps, the middle line method has been widely used. However, it may result in not only a corruption of the topological consistency between the objects near to boundaries but also degeneration of accuracy. In this paper, we propose two edge-matching methods to overcome the problem of the middle line method. The first method is based on the rubber sheeting, which performs an elastic transformation for the objects located around the boundaries. The second method transforms the geometry of objects by the function of the distance from the boundary. These methods have important advantages that they preserve the topology of the original maps and improve tile accuracy, compared with the previous methods.
