In order to improve the thermal efficiency of an internal combustion engine, various ignition timing control systems were examined and the best one was chosen. The parts used for the systems were a microcomputer system with DAS, 8 bit output port (D-FLIP FLOP), three types of isolation circuit, two types of ignition timing pulse generator, three types of switching circuit and two types of high voltage ignition circuit. Most systems did not operate well due to the effects of electromagnetic waves and surge currents occurring when the ignition began or ended with resulting high voltage. The best ignition timing control system was found to be the combination of (microcomputer system)-(ignition timing pulse generator using step motor position control pick-up)-(switching circuit using TR logic)-(high voltage ignition circuit using CDI).

The Inter Communication System for avionics is in charge of processing all voice signals that internal calls between Pilot and Co-pilot, internal calls between Pilots and Crews, external calls through communication equipment such as Ultra/Very High Frequency Receiver/Transmitter(U/VHF RT), audio signal monitoring for navigation and mission equipment such as VHF Omnidirectional Range/Instrument Landing System(VOR/ILS), Tactical Air Navigation(TACAN), audio signal output for voice recording to Flight Data Recorder(FDR) and Data Transfer System(DTS), and warning/caution audio signal generate about the status and threat of aircraft. Because Inter Communication System for avionics is sensitive to noise in the case of analog audio signals, a redundant design that can protect audio signal from electromagnetic noise inside/outside of aircraft is required for the mission of pilots and crews. In this paper, Normal/Back-up operation mode and redundancy design plan based on digital method for the redundancy of the digital Inter Communication System for avionics and manufacturing, verification results are described.

Future spaceborne satellite synthetic aperture radar(SAR) system is expected to acquire high-resolution images over wide swath areas. Conventional SAR systems suffer from ambiguity problems in both azimuth and range directions that lead to image quality degradation. Recently, multiple input multiple output(MIMO) SAR techniques having multiple orthogonal waveforms are proposed to overcome the conventional ambiguity problems in wide-swath imaging modes. In this paper, noisy orthogonal frequency division multiplex(OFDM) waveforms are developed to reduce the ambiguity problems and suppress the image quality degradation. SAR simulations are performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed technique for wide-swath SAR imaging.

This paper presents a Interleaved Buck Converter(IBC) system with Random PWM to reduce electromagnetic noise by harmonics. Swithced mode power supply generally controlled by high switching frequency have a electromagnetic interference(EMI) issue due to the high-voltage/high-current switching to regulate the voltage in buck converter. To solve the problem. we present a novel IBC system with PRBS. IBC system has two active switches with 180 phase difference that controll the cicuit with two PWM signal. IBC system may be disadventageous for the cost due to the addtion of one set of switch, but it has adventages of power distribution, current ripple cancellation, fast transient response, and passive component size reduction. To verify the validity of study, simulation program has been bulit using PSIM and the experimental results of IBC system using RPWM was compared with the conventinal PWM and randomized PWM.

In this paper, we have designed a microwave level meter based on the FM-CW radar theory using a YIG-tuned oscillator (YTO). YTO has an excellent frequency linearity, so a linearizer circuit is not necessary for the level meter. It is shown that interference signals reflected from nearby obstacles can be removed by using a digital band-pass filter. An FIR band-pass filter is designed using the Kaiser window. The distance measurement has been performed in the outdoor test field. The measurement data have been obtained for the range of 1~40m with 1m step, and the results show that the standard deviation of the measured data is 2.33 cm. The level meter manufactured in this study can be applied usefully in the industrial facilities which are not accessible easily, for example, to measure the level of molten metal in the iron and steel company.

Design of X-band frequency FMCW based imaging radar with multi-resolutions and performances of the self-manufactured radar system are presented in this study. In order to implement the multi-bandwidths, a ramp sequence of the FMCW signal is consisting of two kinds of 'saw-tooth' waveform with different bandwidth, and a receiver circuit consisting of L-band source and frequency converter circuit is used to effectively extract spectra of beat-frequency from the received signal of X-band frequency. The system setups for performance measurement of self-manufactured radar system are maximum output power of 35 dBm, sampling frequency of 1.2 MHz and sweep time of 1 ms. Then, the measured resolutions of the modulated signal having bandwidth of 500 MHz and 300 MHz in range & azimuth-direction are (0.28 m, 0.26 m) and (0.44 m, 0.27 m), respectively.

The beacon receiver is an equipment which detects and measures the signal strength of transmitting satellite beacon signal. Beacon signals transmitted by satellites are low power continuous wave(CW) signals without any modulation intended for antenna steering to satellite direction and power control purposes on the earth. The beacon signal detection method using a very narrow band analog filter and RSSI(Received Signal Strength Intensity) has been typically used. However, it requires the implementation to track the frequency at the beacon receiver, thus a beacon frequency variation of the satellite due to temperature changes and long-term operation. Therefore, in this paper, the beacon signal detection receiver is designed by using a very narrow band digital filter array for a faster acquisition and SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) method detection. For this purpose, by calculating the satellite link budget with the rain attenuation between satellite and ground station, and then extracting the received $C/N_o$ of the beacon signal, this work derives the bandwidth and the array number of the configured digital filter that gives the required C/N.

In this paper, the author analyzes direction finding accuracy based on phase comparisons to estimate elevation and azimuth angles of arrival signals. This paper considers the uniform array configurations using four and three elements. In that direction finding structures, I present the analytic expressions for estimated elevation and azimuth angles and then analyze the direction finding errors. And one presents the design guideline of direction finding system in comparison with aspects of accuracy, structure, the number of channels in that structures. The analysis result is similar with simulation one and has difference within $1.2^{\circ}RMS$. From the proposed analysis results, one knows that when SNR is 20 dB and the baseline is half of wavelength, the estimated elevation accuracy of the uniform array using four elements is 1.15 times better than the one of the uniform array using three elements and the estimated azimuth accuracy is same each other. In addition, one knows coning error is eliminated in 2-D direction finding structure.

표면영상유속계측법(Surface Image Velocimeter; SIV)은 영상분석기법의 일종으로 하천 표면의 유동을 영상저장장치로 기록하고 연속되는 이미지상의 입자이동을 계산하여 유속을 산정하는 방법이다. 그러나 표면영상유속계를 활용한 유속분석과정에서 현장 상황에 따라 많은 오차 요인들이 있을 수 있기 때문에 계산한 유속 산정 결과를 그대로 사용하면 정확도가 낮아질 수 있다. 특히 야간 영상과 같은 영상의 화질이 떨어지는 경우에는 유속 산정 결과를 필터링해서 사용해야 한다. 이는 순간 유속장을 분석하는 과정에서 획득된 이미지에 따라 분석된 유속벡터가 평균 유속보다 과다하게 크거나 상관계수 값이 너무 작은 경우가 포함되기 때문이다. 이 연구에서는 제주도 외도천 외도정수장에서 2013년 5월 27일 집중호우에 의한 유출 발생 주 야간 유출영상자료를 획득하여 표면영상유속계(SIV)와 ADCP를 활용하여 유량을 분석하고, 동시에 고정식 전자파 표면유속계인 Kalesto 관측 유량과 비교 분석하였다. 비교과정에서 제주도는 댐방류량과 같은 유량의 참값이 없으므로 각각 관측기기의 상대적인 비교를 하여 경향성을 분석하였다. 분석결과 주간유출영상은 상관계수가 0.6~0.7범위에 해당하는 유속이 전체 59개의 유속벡터 중 6.8%로 나타났으며, 0.7~0.8범위가 13.6%, 0.8~0.9범위가 18.6%, 0.9~1.0범위가 61.0%의 퍼센트를 나타났다. 야간유출영상을 주간유출영상과 비교해보면 0.6~0.7범위에 해당하는 상관계수가 6.8% 높게 분석되었으며, 반대로 0.9~1.0범위에 해당하는 상관계수는 17% 낮게 분석되었다. 이와 같은 결과는 야간유출영상이 주간유출영상에 비해 영상의 질이 떨어짐을 나타내며 표면영상유속계를 적용하여 유량을 산정하는 과정에서 획득되는 영상에 따라 상관계수에 대한 합리적인 필터링 과정이 필요하다.
