유량은 도섭법, 보트법, 횡측선법, 교량법 및 부자법 등 다양한 방법으로 측정되는데, 이들 측정방법 모두 많은 수의 관측자를 필요로 한다. 이들은 하천에 직접 들어가서 측정하거나, 인공구조물인 교량과 재방에서 측정되는데, 도섭법, 보트법, 횡측선법이 전자이며, 고수위 및 고유속으로 하천에 들어가지 못하는 경우에는 교량법 및 부자법을 사용하여 유량을 측정한다. 최근 지구 온난화로 따른 이상 기후가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며, 이로 인한 많은 피해가 발생하고 있어, 하천 수위, 유속 모니터링에 대한 중요성이 더 커지고 있다. 2022년 1월부터 시행 중인 「중대재해처벌법」으로 집중호우 및 일몰 이후에는 안전상의 문제로 유량측정이 어려운 상황으로 필요한 시기에 유량 데이터를 확보에 제약이 있다. 이에 관측자 없이도 유량을 측정할 수 있는 방법을 이용하여 중대 재해의 위험성을 해소하고자 하였다. 유량측정 방법으로 설치 회수가 용이한 비접촉 방식에서 영상표면유속측정 방식과 레이더(전자파)표면 유속측정 방식 중, 집중호우 및 태풍 발생 중 가시성이 확보되지 않아도 측정이 가능한 레이더(전자파) 표면유속계를 이용한 다측점 유량측정 방법을 개발하였다. 비접촉 다측점 유량측정시스템 Master 1대에 8대의 Slave를 연결할 수 있어 총 9개의 측선을 측정할 수 있게 개발하였다. 특히, 하천 및 수로 등의 표면 유속을 비접촉으로 측정하고 하천 단면을 이용하여 유량측정이 가능한 장비로 별도의 수중 및 수상 주조물 작업이 필요 없고 장비의 손상 및 유실 가능성이 거의 없고 역류 상태에서도 측정이 가능하다. 유속은 24GHz의 레이더 주파수를 송수신하여 도플러 변이를 이용하여 측정하였고, 수위는 80GHz의 레이더 주파수를 사용하여 왕복 시간을 거리로 환산하여 측정하였다. 유량은 각각의 유속계에 단면을 입력해 놓으면 유속분포법, 중간단면적법 및 지표유속법을 적용하여, 각각의 측선에 대한유량과 총 유량을 산출하였다. 그 결과, 기존 방식 대비 상당한 개선 효과를 확인하였고, 향후 환경부 등 중앙부처의 수문조사 사업에서 그 역할이 기대된다.

The durability and safety of reinforced concrete structures significantly depend on the reinforcement conditions, concrete cover thickness, cracks, and concrete strength. There are two ways to accurately determine the information on reinforcing bars embedded in concrete - the local destructive method and the non-destructive rebar detection test. In general, the non-destructive rebar detection tests, such as the electromagnetic wave radar method, electromagnetic induction method, and radiation method, are adopted to avoid damage to the structural elements. The moisture content and temperature of concrete affect the dielectric constant, which is the electrical property of concrete, and cause interference in the non-destructive rebar detection test results. Therefore, in this study, the effects of the electromagnetic wave radar method and electromagnetic induction method have been analyzed according to the temperature and surface moisture content of concrete. Due to the technological advancement and development of equipment, the average error rate was less than 5% in the specimens at 24℃, irrespective of their operating principles. Among the tested methods, the electromagnetic induction method showed very high accuracy. The electromagnetic wave radar method indicated a relatively small error rate in the dry state than in the wet state, and exhibited a relatively high error rate at high temperatures. It was confirmed that the error could be reduced by applying the electromagnetic wave radar method when the temperature of the probe was low and in a dry state, and by using the electromagnetic induction method when the probe was in a wet state or at a high temperature.

Probing inside of concrete structures is one of the important steps in assessing condition of the structure. For the assessment, electromagnetic induction method and electromagnetic wave method are currently applied to the measurement of cover depth, and the detection of reinforcement embedded in concrete. To determine detection capability of locating reinforcement embedded in concrete, commercially available nondestructive testing (NDT) equipments have been tested. The equipments include electromagnetic wave system and electromagnetic induction system. In the tests, nine concrete specimens which have the dimensions of 1,000mm(length))${\times}$300mm(width) with thickness varying from 125mm to 150mm are used. The reinforcement are located at 45, 60, 100mm depth from the concrete surface. Horizontal reinforcement spacing has been set over 100mm. From the outcome, it is shown that error is increased as the diameter of reinforcement enlarge in case of using electromagnetic induction method. In case of using electromagnetic wave method, the detection of reinforcement embedded in deep is good in the view of reliability because of using the relative permittivity on the real cover depth.

The radar method is becoming one of the major nondestructive testing(NDT) techniques lot concrete structures. Numerical modeling of electromagnetic wane is needed to analyze radar measurement results. Finite difference-time domain(FD-TD) method can be used to simulate electromagnetic wave propagation through concrete specimens. Five concrete specimens with different thickness are modeled in 3-dimension. Radar modeling results compare measurement results to find backface of the concrete specimens and measure thickness of the concrete specimens.

레이더법은 건축구조물에 대한 비파괴 검사의 대표적인 방법의 하나이다. 레이더법을 이용하는데 영향을 주는 요인들을 연구하고, 레이더로 측정된 결과들을 분석하기 위해서는 전자기파의 전파에 대한 수치적인 모델링을 통한 이론적인 접근이 필요하다. 콘크리트 시편에 전파되는 전자기파를 모델링 하기 위해 유한차분 시간영역법을 적용하고자 한다. 유한차분 시간영역법은 전자파 해석과 모델링을 통한 시뮬레이션에 매우 유용한 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 유한차분 시간영역법을 이용하여 두께가 다른 4개의 시편과 두께는 100㎜로 동일하고 피복두께가 다른 3개의 시편을 3차원으로 모델링 하였다. 두께 측정 모델링 결과에서는 계산영역의 셀간격과 입사파의 파장/콘크리트 시편의 두께값이 모델링의 정확성에 미치는 영향을 알 수 있었다. 철근이 있는 시편의 모델링에서는 0.08%∼0.5%의 오차로 철근의 위치를 확인할 수 있었다.

More than effectively judging the existence of reinforcing bars under multi boundary layers and void shapes in concrete, this study aims to develop the analysis algorithm of radar response on multi boundary layers in reinforced concrete and radar capable of estimation of the shape of specific voids in plain concrete. To detect or estimate reinforcing bars and void shapes in these conditions, the simulation analysis model of transmission and reflection wave of electromagnetic radar is used. This radar simulation model is carried out with reinforced or non reinforced concrete of various boundary conditions and void shapes. And, the output signals (images) of radar simulation results are calculated and represented by convolution method. As the results, it is clarified that this simulation analysis technique can be used to analyze radar response on multi boundary layers in reinforced concrete and void shapes in concrete.

In this paper, an efficient algorithm is developed to perform target rotational motion compensation to achieve the clear inverse synthetic aperture radar(ISAR) image. The algorithm is based on a time-frequency technique. This algorithm provides an efficient method to resolve the blurring image caused by the time-varying behavior of the target scattering centers and leads to a well-focused ISAR image. Results demonstrate that the time-frequency techniques can improve the blurring ISAR image when an aircraft is in complex motion, such as maneuvering, rotation and acceleration.

When a FM-CW radar is used to measure the target distance, the nonlinearity relationship between the VCO control voltage and the output frequency makes an adverse effect on the measurement accuracy. Recently, many nonlinearity correction schemes using signal processing techniques and dedicated hardwares have been studied. This paper presents a signal processing technique to compensate for the VCO nonlinearity using a reference signal. To demonstrate the validity of the presented technique, several experiments were conducted and the results show reduction of the distortion in the range profile and the resolution improvement.

The presence of voids behind tunnel linings is very likely to result in settlement or structural collapse. One proposed method of detecting such voids by non-destructive method is radar. More than effectively judging the existence of voids behind tunnel linings, this study aims to develop the analysis algorithm of radar capable of estimation of the shape of specific voids. To acquire directional information and estimate the shape of three-dimensional voids, the radar of three-dipole antenna type is used. As a foundation to this ongoing research, an investigation of microwave polarization methods using three-dipole antenna carried out with various void orientations and void geometries. As a result, it is clarified that the response of four microwave polarization modes depends on void geometry and thus there is a possibility of identifying the geometry and orientation (the shape) of specific voids using radar of three-dipole antenna type.

Jet engine modulation(JEM) is a frequency modulation phenomenon of the radar signal induced by electromagnetic scattering from a rotating jet engine turbine. Although JEM can be used as a representative radar target recognition method by providing unique information on the target, its recognition performance may be degraded in the observation range of weakly present JEM. Hence, this paper presents a method for extracting the JEM component by decomposing the radar signal into intrisic mode functions(IMFs) via complex empirical mode decomposition(CEMD) and by combining them based on signal eccentricity. Its application to various signals demonstrated that the proposed method improved the clarity of JEM analysis and could extend the effective observation range of JEM.
