In this paper, a sound reception system using a phase difference of whistle signals is proposed and analyzed based on spectral analysis. The proposed system receives whistle signals from four microphones installed in four different directions with 90-degree intervals between them. The proposed algorithm detects the phase of each received signal based on spectral analysis and estimates the direction of the whistle signal by obtaining the phase difference between the received signals from two adjacent microphones. Furthermore, we theoretically analyze the phase difference between two adjacent received signals according to their arrival angles and implement the proposed system using a DSP chip. In addition, the operation of the proposed algorithm are verified using the implemented system in a laboratory environment. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme can well estimate the direction of the whistle signal.

In this paper, we propose a sound reception system against surrounding noise for ships based on digital signal processing technologies. In order to suppress unwanted surrounding noises, a digital band-pass filter is designed, which the pass-band of the filter is between 70Hz to 820Hz. Also, we develope a sound direction indicating algorithm with 4 microphones. After filtering the audio signals from 4 microphones, the developed sound direction indicating algorithm can indicate 8 directions. In addition, we implement prototype board for the sound reception using a digital signal processor chip and audio codecs, and verify the proposed algorithm.

Under the Welfare of Disabled Persons Act, the national qualification test allows disabled and non-disabled people to appear for the same test, and the deaf do not fall under the reason for disqualification from obtaining a license for power-driven water leisure crafts; therefore, even the deaf can obtain a license. During a risk of collision at sea, ships and power-driven water leisure crafts notify the other party of dangerous signals such as maneuvering and warning signals through sound signals to prevent accidents that may occur because surrounding ships are not visible. However, a method is required to prevent marine accidents that may occur when the deaf cannot hear danger signals through sounds from nearby ships or power-driven water leisure crafts during leisure activities owing to hearing impairment. A sound reception system is a device installed on a ship where missionary work is completely deposed to display the amplification of external sounds and the direction of sound reception on the screen. Through visual display of sound signals such as dangerous signals that cannot be heard owing to hearing impairment, improvement measures were proposed to prevent marine accidents that can occur owing to the inability of the deaf to check sound signals during leisure activities.

Indoor positioning technology has been developed very actively for the smart phone handheld by most users. Especially, many TDOA positioning systems using acoustic signal have been studied, and it estimates the smart phone position by measuring the distance between the smart phone speaker and the microphones which is installed to receive the acoustic signal from the smart phone, and by calculating the hyperbolic equations. But there are always errors for the distance measurements, and furthermore the microphone installation error produces huge position estimation error. In this paper, the position estimation error due to the position error of acoustic sensor in the 3 dimensional TDOA positioning system, is analyzed by PDOP simulation and experiment.

동해 38도 10분N, 132도 00분E(site 1)과 38도 01분N, 132도 53분E(site2)에서 저주파수를 이용한 해상실험자료를 이용하여 해저면 음파반사 특성을 파악하였다. 음원으로는 한국해양연구소 온누리호에 장착되어 있는 총 11.31l의 부피를 가지는 에어건 array를 사용하였고 수신장치로는 총 56채널로 이루어진 아날로그 스트리머를 사용하였으며, 각 실험위치에서 3번씩 신호를 수신하였다. 관측해역에 대해 eigenray 모델을 이용하여 에어건에서부터 각 채널까지의 eigenray 정보를 파악한 후 해저면 반사계수를 산출하여 Rayleigh reflection 모델과 비교하였다. 비교 결과 Rayleigh reflection 모델은 해저면 반사 손실과 부합하는 것으로 나타났다.

기존의 널리 사용되는 초음파 영상진단기에서는 수신집속은 모든 점에 대해 행하는 것이 가능하지만 송신접속은 미리 정해진 수 개의 점에 대해서만 행하는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상화할 대상이 정지해 있거나 매우 느리게 움직이는 경우에 한하여, 송신음장 의 집속은 합성집속방법(synthetic focusing)을 사용하고, 수신집속은 동적 집속(dynamic receive focusing)을 이용함으로써 모든 영상점에서 송수신 집속하여 측방향 해상도를 향상 시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과 초점깊이에서와 같은 해상도를 유지하 는 음장거리(fields of depth)가 기존의 방법에 비하여 월등히 우수하였으며, 3.5MHz의 선형 배열변환기를 이용하여 펜텀 영상에 대한 실험 결과도 모든 영상 깊이에서 측방향 해상도가 기존의 B-mode의 영상보다 우수하였다.

The acoustic cleaning system is widely used to remove foreign materials in factories, such as thermal power plants and incinerators. However, the acoustic cleaning systems tend to be clogged by foreign materials. In this paper, we develop a wireless sensor network for the sound wave detection in order to monitor proper operations in the acoustic cleaning systems. We observe that the developed wireless sensor network for the wave detection shows a stable operation in various industrial environments of wide temperature ranges. We also develop a data gathering device, which displays the current status of the sound generator and several values detected from the wireless sensor.

Sonobuoy is a disposable device that collects underwater acoustic information and is designed to transmit signals collected in a particular area to nearby aircraft or ships and sink to the seabed upon completion of its mission. In a conventional sonobouy signal transmission and reception system, collected signals are modulated and transmitted using techniques such as frequency division modulation or Gaussian frequency shift keying, and received and demodulated by an aircraft or a ship. However, this method has the disadvantage of the large amount of information to be transmitted and low security due to relatively simple modulation and demodulation methods. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method that uses an autoencoder to encode a transmission signal into a low-dimensional latent vector to transmit the latent vector to an aircraft or ship and decode the received latent vector to improve signal security and to reduce the amount of transmission information by approximately a factor of a hundred compared to the conventional method. As a result of confirming the sample spectrogram reconstructed by the proposed method through simulation, it was confirmed that the original signal could be restored from a low-dimensional latent vector.
