Motion errors which are caused by several reasons, non-ideal path, errors of navigation systems, and radar system errors, have to be corrected. Motion compensation methods can compensate the motion error, but not exactly. To correct these residual errors, several autofocus methods are invented. A popular method is phase gradient autofocus (PGA). PGA does not assume specific circumstances, such as isolated point targets and shapes of errors. PGA is an iterative and adaptive method, so that the processing time is the main problem for the real time processing. In this paper, the improved method to select targets for PGA is proposed to reduce processing time. The variances of image pixels are used to select targets with high SNR. The processing of PGA with these targets diminishes the processing time and iterations effectively. The processed results with real radar data, obtained by flight tests, show that the proposed method compensates errors well, and reduce working time.

Recently, from a global perspective, the use of small unmanned aerial vehicles in terrorism and warfare is increasing, and the need for anti-drone shooting training targeting small UAVs is increasing. However, in reality, there are many cases in Korea where anti-drone shooting training is restricted, due to complaints such as noise. In this paper, we describe the development and testing of an electric-powered direct strike type high-speed, low-noise small aerial target drone. To achieve the flight speed and endurance required for shooting training, target drone sizing was performed, and aerodynamic performance analysis was conducted using a CFD program. Based on the performance analysis, the motor propulsion system was selected and a variable pitch propeller system was designed, and performance tests were performed on a ground test rig. Finally, the target flight speed, flight time, and flight noise level were confirmed through flight tests.

This paper introduces a radar signal processing technique for intelligent rear view monitoring of an automobile. The linear frequency modulation-frequency shift keying(LFM-FSK) waveform, which is the combination of frequency modulation continuous wave(FMCW) and frequency shift keying(FSK) waveform, is employed to simultaneously estimate the range, relative aspect angle, and velocity of an automobile. Hence, it can be applied to monitor the rear view of an automobile. FMCW waveform has high range resolution capability, but it produces ghost targets under a multiple target environment. In contrast, FSK waveform can provide high velocity resolution and avoids the problem of ghost targets. However, it fails to identify multiple targets along the radar's line of sight. With LFM-FSK waveform, we can estimate the ranges and velocities of multiple targets with very high resolution, which avoids the ghost target problem of an FMCW waveform. Simulation result shows that LFM-FSK wavefrom is suitable for use in the lane change assistance system for an automobile.

It is very important to verify generated setup errors in cancer therapy by using a high energy radiation and to perform the precise radiation therapy. Specially, the verification of treatment position is very crucial in special therapies like fractionated stereotatic radiotherapy (FSRT). The FSRT uses normally high-dose, small field size for treating small intracranial lesions. To estimate the developed FSRT system, the isocenter accuracy of gantry, couch and collimator were performed and a total of inaccuracy was less than ${\pm}1mm$. Precise beam targeting is crucial when using high-dose, small field size FSRT for treating small intracranial lesions. The EPID image of the 3mm lead ball mounted on the isocenter with a 25mm collimator cone was acquired and detected to the extent of one pixel (0.76mm) after comparing the difference between the center of a 25mm collimator cone and a 3 mm ball after processing the EPID image. In this paper, the radiation treatment efficiency can be improved by performing precise radiation therapy with a developed video based EPID and FSRT at near real time

The aim of this study was to evaluate the patient specific quality assurance (QA) results of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) through the AAPM Task Group Report 119. Using the treatment planning system, both IMRT and VMAT treatment plans were established. The absolute dose and relative dose for the target and OAR were measured by using an ion chamber and the bi-planar diode array, respectively. The plan evaluation was used by the Dose volume histogram (DVH) and the dose verification was implemented by compare the measured value with the calculated value. For the evaluation of plan, in case of prostate, both IMRT and VMAT were closed the goal of target and OARs. In case of H&N and Multi-target, IMRT was not reached the goal of target, but VMAT was reached the goal of target and OARs. In case of C-shape(easy), both were reached the goal of target and OARs. In case of C-shape(hard), both were reached the goal of target but not reached the goal of OARs. For the evaluation of absolute dose, in case of IMRT, the mean of relative error (%) between measured and calculated value was $1.24{\pm}2.06%$ and $1.4{\pm}2.9%$ for target and OAR, respectively. The confidence limits were 3.65% and 4.39% for target and OAR, respectively. In case of VMAT the mean of relative error was $2.06{\pm}0.64%$ and $2.21{\pm}0.74%$ for target and OAR, respectively. The confidence limits were 4.09% and 3.04% for target and OAR, respectively. For the evaluation of relative dose, in case of IMRT, the average percentage of passing gamma criteria (3mm/3%) were $98.3{\pm}1.5%$ and the confidence limits were 3.78%. In case of VMAT, the average percentage were $98.2{\pm}1.1%$ and the confidence limits were 3.95%. We performed IMRT and VMAT patient specific QA using TG-119 based procedure, all analyzed results were satisfied with acceptance criteria based on TG-119. So, the IMRT and VMAT of our institution was confirmed the accuracy.

In this paper, a study on the design of the transmitter-receiver of fuze sensor for discriminating target position is presented. We propose the algorithm for detecting target distance/direction through investigating the operational concept and principle of fuze sensor. Based on the algorithm, We design transmitter-receiver, calculate various design variables and estimate the performance of that one. The estimated result shows that the required performance of fuze sensor is satisfied. Further research on confirming the performance of proposed algorithm through encounter simulation test with real target and resolving problem will be continued.

본 논문은 방사선 치료에 사용되는 선형 전자가속기(LINAC)의 작동 원리와 구성 등 의료용 LINAC의 전반을 다룬다. 의료용 LINAC은 전자총에서 발사된 전자를 가속기 튜브 내에서 가속시켜 전자빔을 발생시키고, 이러한 전자빔을 금속 표적에 충돌시켜 발생한 X 선을 인체에 조사하는 원리이다. 최근에는 O-arm, C-arm 등 3-D 촬영을 위한 치료기가 개발됨에 따라, 의료용 LINAC의 전자총, 마그네트론 등을 구동하는데 사용되는 고전압 전원장치 또한 소형화와 고밀도화가 요구되는 추세이다. 본 논문에서는 마그네트론 구동을 위한 고밀도 40kV/100A 음극성 펄스 모듈레이터와 정전압 정전류 제어 및 50kV 절연이 가능한 히터 전원장치를 설계 및 제작하였으며, 9.3GHz, 1.7MW X-Band 마그네트론 연계실험을 통해 고효율 고신뢰성의 동작을 확인하였다.

Guidance laws can be conceptually classified into three categories although their mathematical representations are various and different. In this paper, a generalized conceptual guidance law including the concepts of the above categories is proposed. The aim angle is introduced using the geometry of the collision triangle. The aim angle represents the arbitrary angle between the pursuit angle and the expected collision angle. The objective of the proposed guidance law is to make the aim angle zero asymptotically. It can be shown that the aim angle error response for the considered system is same as that of the first order system. When the autopilot of the missile system has slow dynamics, autopilot time lag may deteriorate the performance of the guidance law performance. In this case, another new guidance law compensating the autopilot time lag effect is proposed. To verify the proposed guidance laws, several numerical simulations are performed.
