Monostatic sonar systems localize targets using the time information of pulse transmission and receipt. Whereas, in asynchronous bistatic sonar systems, receivers need to detect direct blast to localize targets, since a source doesn't share pulse information with receivers. In this paper, we propose a direct blast detection algorithm, which estimates PRI (Pulse Repetition Interval) of direct blast and adaptive thresholds. Experimental results show the proposed algorithm has robust direct blast detection performance in the environment where strong background noise and target signal exist.

The asynchronous bistatic sonar needs to estimate direct blast arrival time at a receiver to localize targets, and therefore the direct blast arrival time estimation error could be added to target localization error in comparison with synchronous system. Direct blast especially appears as several peaks at the matched filter output by multipath, thus we compared the first peak detection technique and the maximum peak detection technique of those peaks for direct blast arrival time estimation through sea trial data. The test was performed in a shallow sea with bistatic sonar made up of spatially separated source and line array sensors. Line array sensors obtained the target signal which is generated from the echo repeater. As a result, the first peak detection technique is superior to maximum peak detection technique in direct blast arrival time estimation error. The result of this analysis will be used for further research of target tracking in the asynchronous bistatic sonar.

지면에 가까이 있는 비행체나 수면에 가까이 있는 수중 운동체에서 도래하는 신호는 직접파와 반사파로 구성되어 있다. 그런 환경에서는 반사파가 직접파와 coherent한 관계를 갖는다. 이런 현상으로 해서 DOA추정을 위해 추정한 correlation 행렬이 singular한 성질을 갖게 된다. 이렇게 singular한 행렬은 DOA추정에 큰 오류를 내게 된다. 또 움직이는 대상의 경우 추정 correlation 행렬의 성질이 시간에 따라 변하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 위 두 상황을 함께 해결하기 위해서 PASTd알고리즘을 변형하여 Forward/Backward Variable forgetting factor를 도입한 PASTd알고리즘을 제안한다.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve target detection rate degradation due to direct blast in a bi-static sonar systems with high duty cycle using an adaptive filters. It is very important to suppress the direct blast in the aforementioned sonar systems because it has a fatal effect on the actual system operation. In this paper, the performance was evaluated by applying the Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) and Recursive Least Square (RLS) algorithms to the simulation and sea experimental data. The beam signals of the target and direct blast bearings were used as the input and desired signals, respectively. By optimizing the difference between the two signals, the direct blast is removed and only the target signal is remained. As a result of evaluating the results of the matched filter in the simulation, it was confirmed that the direct blast was removed to the noise level in both Linear Frequency Modultated (LFM) and Generalized Sinusoidal Frequency Modulated (GSFM), and in the case of GSFM, the target sidelobe decreased by more than 20 dB, thereby improving performance. In the sea experiment, it was confirmed that the LFM reduced the level of the transmitted direct wave by 10 dB, the GSFM reduced the level of the transmitted direct wave by about 4 dB, and the side lobe of the target decreased by about 4 dB, thereby improving the performance.

This paper presents a precision method to calculate the electric field density of mountain area using digital terrain elevation data(DTED). Generally we calculate the electric field density of a point adding a direct field density and horizontal reflection field density between two points. In this paper, we consider a vertical reflection field density from vertical surface near the wave propagation line between transmitter and receiver. The vertical reflection electric field have different propagation path and polarization from a horizontal reflection field. And the total electric field density adding horizontal field density and vertical reflection value is more accurate than a direct path electrical field density or direct field density adding a horizontal reflection field density.

A difficulty encountered in engineering seismic mapping is that reflection events from shallow discontinuities are commonly overlapped with coherent noise such as air wave, direct waves, head waves, and high-amplitude surface waves. Here, the radial trace transform, a simple geometric re-mapping of a trace gather (x-t domain) to another trace gather (v-t domain), is applied to investigate the rejection effect of coherent linear noises. Two different types of data sets were selected as a representative database: good-quality data for intermediate sounding (hundreds of meters) in a sedimentary basin and very noisy data for shallow (${\leq}50m$) mapping of the weathered zone and bedrock surface. Results obtained with cascaded application of the radial transform and low-cut filtering proved to be as good as, or better than, those produced using f-k filtering, and were especially effective for air wave and direct wave. This simple transform enables better understanding of the characteristics of various types of noise in the RT domain, and can be generally applied to overcoming diffractions and back-scatterings caused by joints, fractures, and faults commonly that are encountered in geotechnical problems.

해상 반사법탐사는 해저 지반의 지층구조를 파악하는 기술로서 해저지층에 부존하는 가스나 골재 등 해저자원 탐사와 해저의 저장시설 건설, 파이프라인 설치 등 다양한 해양 토목공사를 위한 지반조사에 사용된다. 해상 반사법탐사의 기본적인 원리는 해수면 근처에서 인공적으로 음파를 발생시켜 해저면 하부의 지층으로 침투시키면 서로 다른 물성을 갖는 지층의 경계면에서 일부 음파는 반사되는데, 이 반사파를 수신하는 것이다. 탐사과정에서 얻어진 트레이스에는 반사파 이외에도 직접파, 다중반사파와 같은 잡음이 섞여있는데 자료처리를 통해 탄성파 단면도를 작성하고, 이를 해석하여 해저지반의 지질학적 구조를 파악하는 것이 해상 반사법탐사의 목적이다.

Harmonics (or distortion in wave form) has always existed in electrical power systems. It is harmless as long as its level is not substantial. However, with the recent rapid advancement of power electronics technology, so-called nonlinear loads, such as variable frequency drives for motor power/speed control, are increasingly finding their way to shipboard or offshore applications. In this paper a new approach to direct torque control (DTC) of induction motor drive is presented. In comparison with the conventional DTC methods the inverter switching frequency is constant and is dramatically increased, requiring neither any increase of the sampling frequency, nor any high frequency dither signal. The well-developed space vector modulation technique is applied to inverter control in the proposed DTC-based induction motor drive system, thereby dramatically reducing the current harmonics. As compared to the existing DTC approach with constant inverter switching frequency, the presented new approach does not invoke any concept of deadbeat control, thereby dramatically reducing the computations.

표면 반사파가 존재하는 무향수조 내에서 근접 음향 홀로그래피의 적용 가능성을 살펴보기 위하여 여러 변수의 변화에 따른 음장 예측 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수직 배열 센서 및 수평 배열 센서를 이용하는 경우에 대해 해석하였으며 수직 배열센서를 이용하여 한 면에서 측정하는 경우 표면 반사파에 의한 영향은 무시할 만큼 작은 것을 확인하였다. 수평 배열센서를 이용하는 경우에는 표면 반사파의 영향이 상대적으로 크게 나타나 반사파를 고려하기 위해 두개의 측정면에서의 음압값이 필요하며 직접파와 반사파를 모두 고려하는 경우 음압 예측치의 오차가 적게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

중력파의 존재가 예측된 것은 100년전 일이지만 지난해 9월 14일에야 LIGO에 처음으로 직접 검출되었다. 줄력파는 질량을 가진 물질이 가속될 때 만들어져 빛의 속도로 전파되는 현상이다. LIGO는 레이저 간섭 현상을 이용해 서로 수직인 방향의 두 팔의 길이가 상대적으로 진동하는 것을 측정하는 기기로서 지난 2002년 첫 관측을 시작한 이래 지속적인 감도 향상을 통해 아주 미세한 진폭을 가지는 중력파를 직접 검출하는데 성공하였다. 이번에 관측된 중력파는 두개의 블랙홀로 이루어진 쌍성이 궤도 운동을 하면서 중력파를 방출함에 따라 궤도 반지름이 점차 줄어들어 궁극적으로 충돌하기 직전 0.1초 정도 사이에 방출한 것으로서 이론적인 파형과의 비교를 통해 기존의 어떤 방법보다도 정확하게 블랙홀들의 질량과 거리를 측정할 수 있게 해 주었다. LIGO의 감도가 앞으로도 더욱 향상될 것이며 이에 따라 더 많은 중력파 천체가 발견될 것이다. 중력파 관측을 통해 우리는 기존의 망원경으로 볼 수 없었던 새로운 천체 현상을 자구 관측하게 될 것이며 이에 따라 블랙홀이나 중성자별과 같은 밀집 천체를 더 자세하게 탐구할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 우주의 구조나 진화에 대한 새로운 연구가 가능해질 것이다.
