Infra-red earth sensors(IRES) are accommodated in a geostationary multi-functional satellite, which includes optical payloads for observing the earth, to provide pointing reference for the payloads. Even the slight pointing difference between the IRES and the payloads is so critical from the geostationary orbit that can degrade their imaging performance. Therefore, a dedicated support structure is required to guarantee the stability during the flight operation. This paper shows the design justification for the IRES support structure employed in the Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite(COMS). It intends to give an overall design presentation and to justify that this design is compatible with all the requirements in terms of stiffness and strength as well as the stability.

This paper presents a procedure to optimize the design of 70GHz band array antenna for automotive short range radar sensor applications using Chebyshev polynomials. SRR(: Short Range Radar) systems require a wide angle width and low Side lobe level to detect targets within close proximity while ensuring a high Field of View(FoV). The optimized antenna operates in the 76 to 81GHz frequency range, and to reduce the antenna size, we arranged 12 patches in series, achieving an SLL of 10dB, angle with of 112.5o, gain of 15.4dB and an input return loss of less than -10dB at 78GHz. In this paper, we proceed with antenna design for SRR using Chebyshev polynomials, and present an optimal design for antenna structures to be used in MRR(: Medium-Range Radar) and LRR(: Long Range Radar) applications based on this paper

In this paper, we analyzed underwater multiple sensors acoustic communication technologies for monitoring and control of offshore plants in underwater environments. Information on underwater structure of offshore plants is transmitted and received by multiple sensors at the same time. Using multiple sensors with same frequency, we employed spread spectrum techniques to avoid interferences between these multiple sensors. Owing to the multi-path characteristic in underwater communications, the performance is degraded. In order to improve the performance of underwater multiple sensors communication, we proposed turbo equalized RAKE receiver structures. Assuming that the number of sensors is fixed to three, we conformed the effectiveness of the proposed method as compared to the conventional one.

현재 한국해양과학기술원에서는 선박비행체 탑재용 복합센서를 개발 및 시험 적용 중에 있다. 그러나 얻어진 영상 데이터를 통해서는 목표물에 대한 정확한 위치 정보를 파악할 수 없다. 또한 크기가 큰 물체도 거리가 멀면 영상에선 작아 보이기 때문에 목표물의 크기 또한 파악하기 힘들다. 이를 보완하기 위해 본 연구에서는 복합센서를 통해 획득한 영상에 대해 warping 및 기하보정, 선박 및 익수자 자동 탐지 알고리듬, 위치 및 계수 정보 산출에 대해 소개한다. 또한 실제 실험을 통해 해당 알고리듬을 검증하였다.

Underwater sensor networks (USN) for ocean development and disaster prevention have been emerged as one of interesting research topics recently. Since a high-speed and inexpensive communication modem is a prerequisite for deployment of USN, we design and implement an underwater modem by utilizing general-purpose waterproof ultrasonic sensors in this paper. We also make experiments in indoor and outdoor environment with two modems facing each other to conduct a point-to-point communication. According to the experiments, we can achieve the data rates of 1.5 kbps in a water tank and 2 kbps in a pond. Also, the maximum communication distance between two modems is about 30 meters. Besides, we conduct a point-to-multipoint experiment imitating USN by deploying a gateway, a sink node and three sensor nodes in a water tank.

현재 IT 기술의 발전에 힘입어 선박 내에 발생하는 전자 데이터를 통해 선박 제어, 자율 운항, 상황 발생 시 정보 제공 등의 기능을 할 수 있는 전자 운항 선박이 등장하였다. 국내 선박용 항해 통신 장비 업체들에서 제작된 장비들은 NMEA 0183 표준 규격을 따르고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 표준규격 내에서의 저속의 데이터 전송으로 인한 향후 NMEA-2000에서의 멀티미디어 전송 및 USN 장비 호환을 위해서는 보다 효율적인 전송 처리 방안이 필요하며, 나아가 이더넷을 기반으로 하는 선박 제어가 필요로 하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 저속과 고속 데이터 전송시에 보다 효율적인 전송 방안을 고려하여야 하며, 또한 그러한 방안이 기존의 선박 전자 장비와 원활히 연동될 수 있도록 고려하여야 한다.

In this work, a capacitive wireless power transfer (C-WPT) system is presented for wireless sensor system (WSS) applications in marine propulsion shafts. For a single Q factor on both sides of the coupling capacitor and reactive power removal from the circuit, a double-sided LCLC converter and transformers topology are designed to drive the rotary C-WPT system for WSS on the shaft. Parallel-connected parallel plate rotating capacitors with a capacitance of 170 pF are designed and implemented for the C-WPT system on a snow rotating shaft. In the experimental results, the C-WPT system achieved a transmission efficiency of 66.67% with 7.8 W output power at 3 mm distance and 1 MHz operating frequency. Therefore, it was proved that the fabricated C-WPT system can supply power to the WSS of the rotating shaft.

현재, 해양 레저 스포츠 산업이 발달로 인하여 해양 레저용 보트 산업도 발달해 나가고 있다. 그러나 세계적으로 친환경 기술 개발 관련 정책이 강화되고 있으며, 미국 및 유럽의 경우는 가솔린 엔진으로부터 배출되는 대기 오염 물질에 대한 환경규제를 점점 강화해 나가고 있다. 이러한 원인으로 인하여 친환경 배터리 충전식 전기모터시스템을 도입하고 있으며, 충전식 전기모터시스템에 사용되는 소형 모터 및 충전용 배터리에 대한 수요가 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 배터리 충전식 전기모터시스템에 사용되는 직류 24[V] 환경에서 2.5[HP] 용량의 고출력 고효율의 선외기용 BLDC(Brushless Direct Current) 모터 제어기 및 모터 드라이브, 홀(Hall) 센서를 통한 BLDC 모터의 상태 파악 및 모터의 정/역 제어 및 속도제어에 대한 설계 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

A variety of sensors and equipment are installed on passenger ships. Data collection from these sensors and associated equipment is required for the safe navigation and behavior analysis of ships, but when the ship sails out of the area where it is not possible to use the LTE communication, other types of networks have to be able to support to transmit these information. such as AIS, satellite communication and MF/HF. In this paper, we survey data protocol of onboard sensors and design ASM messages to transfer sensor data on board to the shore-side system.

In the past, in observing the sea fog on the major sea route and providing real-time information for the safe operation of ships, a visibility sensor or a fog detector with similar operating principles was installed to observe local fog near the place where it was installed. However, it was somewhat unreasonable to immediately provide sea fog observation information to ships and users because the reliability of real-time observation information was somewhat low due to pollution caused by dust, salt, and pollen, or malfunctions of detection sensors by organisms such as spider webs. From 2019 to 2022, the Korea Meteorological Administration and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries collaborated to build a more reliable real-time image-based sea fog observation system in 100 regions of the Lighthouse on major sea routes across the country to collect reliable sea fog observation information every 10 minutes and perform real-time public service(webpage).
