KARI(Ko.ea Aerospace Research Institute) has measured the ionospheric electron temperature and density over the Korean Peninsular with the Langmuir and Electron Probe(LEP) onboard the Korean Sounding Rocket-II(KSR-II) In 1998. The purpose of LEP is to measure the electron density and temperature profile in the ionosphere. LEP consists of the Langmuir probe(LP) and the Electron temperature Probe(ETP) which are widely used for the measurement of the ionospheric plazma environment . We discuss the development of the Langmuir and Electron Probe which will be onboard the KSR-III and some test results in a simulated space plasma environment with the plasma chamber at the ISAS in Japan. These measurements could contribute to the basic study of ionospheric environment which also can be compared with other reference models such as IRI and PIM.

Understanding various casual factors affecting the occurrence of freeway traffic crash is a backbone of deriving effective countermeasures. The first step toward understanding such factors is to identify crash risks on freeways. Unlike existing studies, this study focused on the unsafe vehicle maneuvering that can be detected by in-vehicle sensors. The recent advancement of sensor technologies allows us to gather and analyze detailed microscopic events leading to crash occurrence such as the abrupt change in acceleration. This study used an accelerometer to capture the unsafe events. A set of candidate variables representing unsafe events were derived from analyzing acceleration data obtained by the accelerometer. Then, the crash risk was modeled by the binary logistic regression technique. The probabilistic outcome of crash risk can be provided by the proposed model. An application of the methodology assessing crash risk was presented, and further research items for the successful field implementation were also discussed.

In this study, a chloride ion probe as a direct measurement for perchlorate reduction was used to determine whether biological perchlorate reduction was inhibited by other electron acceptors ($O_2$ and ${NO_3}^-$) and to investigate competition of electron acceptors for using electron donors. Profiles of chloride production (= perchlorate reduction) in flasks containing perchlorate reducing populations were monitored by a chloride ion probe. Biological reduction of 2 mM perchlorate was inhibited by 2 mM nitrate that chloride production rate was decreased by 30% compared to perchlorate used as the only electron acceptor and chloride production rate was decreased by 70% when acetate was limited. Reduction of 2mM perchlorate was completely inhibited by oxygen at 7~8 mg/L, regardless of acetate excess / limitation.

The effects of Reynolds number on the non-nulling calibrations of a cone-type ave-type probe in low-speed flows have been investigated at Reynolds numbers of 2.04$\times$10$^3$, 4.09$\times$10$^3$and 6.13$\times$10$^3$. The calibration is conducted at the pitch and yaw angles in ranges between -35 degrees and 35 degrees with an angle interval of 5 degrees. In addition to the calibration coefficients, reduced pitch and yaw angles, static and total pressures, and velocity magnitude are obtained through a typical non-nulling reduction procedure. The result shows that each calibration coefficient, in general, is a function of both the pitch and yaw angles, so that the pre-existing calibration data in a nulling mode are not enough in accounting far the full non-nulling calibration characteristics. Due to interference of the probe stem, the calibration coefficient are more sensitive to Reynolds number at positive pitch angles than at negative ones. The calibration data reduced in this study may serve as a guide line in the estimation of uncertainty intervals resulted from the Reynolds number effects at low Reynolds numbers.

In this paper, we designed a reduced height waveguide(WG) to microstrip mode converter with a short transition length. The mode converter is composed of a mode converter using E-plane probe and a modified impedance transformer. The mode converter was designed using a probe shorted to top of a 50 ohm ridge WG. The modified impedance transformer was designed to connect the mode converter to the reduced height WG. For wide bandwidth operation, the coupling of the two parts was tuned. The structure of the mode converter was optimized for low loss and wide bandwidth, and the optimized mode converter was fabricated. The performance of the mode converter was extracted using the thru and line S-parameters for back-to-back connections, and the connector loss was calibrated. The mode converter has a right angle structure and short transition length, 7.2 mm. The mode converter shows excellent performances; the insertion loss of 0.12 dB at 15 GHz, and the return loss above 10 dB for the full Ku-band.

In this paper, complex permittivities of reference liquids were measured by a sample holder of terminated slotted coaxial line with a movable probe at mobile communications frequencies. The validity of the liquid measurement system was checked by experimental tests with the reference liquids proposed in IEEE Std 1528-200X.

System을 통해 출력되는 신호를 측정할 때 정확한 측정을 방해하는 요소로 잡음이 있다. 이런 신호 측정의 방해 요소인 잡음을 제거 하는 방법 중의 하나로 Lock-in Amp(LIA)가 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 잡음 신호의 제거를 위해 사용 하는 LIA를 제작 하고 특성을 파악 하였으며 RF통신을 이용하여 무선 형태로 제작 하였다. 현재 상용화된 LIA는 프로브를 통한 유선으로 측정신호의 입력을 받게 되지만 본 논문에서 제작된 LIA는 무선신호 형태로 입력 하게 된다. RF통신의 케리어 주파수는 447.9[MHz]로 Digital GMSK 변복조방식을 이용하였다. LIA의 제작은 Dual Phase Sensitive Detecter을 사용하였으며, 주요 구성 요소인 Phase Locked Loop, Phase Shifter, Phase Sensitive Detector, Low Pass Filter등의 구조와 특성을 조사하였다.

A probe type fiber-optic sensing techique for electric current measurement is applied in this paper. The technique is based on the Faraday effect which meaning is that polarization state of light is rotated by magnetic field. In experiment, test wire is located at inside and outside of the probe to be measured. The experimental results prove not only linear property, but also polarization rotation property according to the distance from outside of probe.
