  • Active sonar has been commonly used to detect targets existing in the shallow water. When a signal is transmitted and returned back from a target, it has been distorted by various properties of acoustic channel such as multipath arrivals, scattering from rough sea surface and ocean bottom, and refraction by sound speed structure, which makes target detection difficult. It is therefore necessary to consider these channel properties in the target signal simulation in operational performance system of active sonar. In this paper, a monostatic active sonar system is considered, and the target echo, reverberation, and ambient noise are individually simulated as a function of time, and finally summed to simulate a total received signal. A 3-dimensional highlight model, which can reflect the target features including the shape, position, and azimuthal and elevation angles, has been applied to each multipath pair between source and target to simulate the target echo signal. The results are finally compared to those obtained by the algorithm in which only direct path is considered in target signal simulation.

  • In order to research the relationship between distribution of fish and the ocean environment in Southern Sea of Korea, echo survey and oceanographic observation were carried out from July 27 to 31 in 1998. The DSL(Depth Scattering Layer) and high density of fishes were appeared in northeastern Cheju Island and offshore of Karnak bay by color echo sounder. The relative Sa(area backscattering coefficient) in offshore of Karnak bay was 5,500 at 28KHz, 12,500 at 200KHz and Northeastern Cheju Island was 6,000 at 28KHz, 20,000 at 200KHz. During the acoustic survey period, Ocean environment of high density of fishes area were as the follows. The surface Northeastern Cheju Island were ranged 20~$26.5^{\circ}C,\;31.5~32.5\perthousand$ and that bottom were ranged 16~$20^{\circ}C,\;35.4~34\perthousand$. The shallow water area in offshore of Karnak bay were ranged 24~$26.5^{\circ}C,\;30.0~31.5\perthousand$

  • The authors carried out an experiment to investigate the echo fluctuations from ocean bottom due to ship's motion. The bottom echoes was continuously measured, by using a 50 kHz Echo sounder on board of the ship being at anchor under the sea condition of 15 knots in wind velocity and approximately 2 meters in wave height, to extract the information about the pulse stretching and the ship's motion from the first return and the second return. A data acquisition system was used to record digitally the envelope of the echoes, and the analysis was applied to the echo data collected from the continental shelf in the South China Sea. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: 1. The equivalent pulse width of the second return echoes from ocean bottom was 2.4 times longer than that of the first return echoes. 2. The echo peak values of the first return fluctuated markedly than that of the second return and was shown to be extremely sensitive to small change in ship's motion. 3. Energy target strength and peak target strength of the sandy-mud bottom were -13.4 dB and -14.6 dB, respectively.

  • This study investigated luring distributions by water layer of common squid which were targeted by angling fishing vessels equipped with LED and metal-halide lamps using a scientific echosounder with a 120 kHz frequency in order to develop energy-effective underwater fish aggregation devices. In the analysis, angles of a transducer were changed from $0^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$ and were rotated every $10^{\circ}$ horizontally. It was shown that common squid were densely distributed from the surface to 40 m and they were also distributed in directions of $10^{\circ}{\sim}+30^{\circ}$, $-30^{\circ}{\sim}-60^{\circ}$, and $-120^{\circ}{\sim}-130^{\circ}$with the head of vessel as the center. Comparative results of angles of transducer on acoustical densities of common squid distributing in 21~40 m water depth showed an average $101.8m^2/nm^2$ in vertical direction of $0^{\circ}$, $12.3m^2/nm^2$ in angle of $30^{\circ}$, and $42.4m^2/nm^2$ in angle of $45^{\circ}$, respectively. It implied that more considerations on acoustic scattering strength by incidence angle direction of the transducer and swimming oriental angle direction of common squid would be required.

  • In this paper, ultrasonic images of 25MHz bandwidth were acquired by applying peak value variation, time average and depth profile algorithm to acoustic microscopy and its performance was compared and analysed with each other. In the time average algorithm, total reflecting pulse wave from a spot on the coin was converted to digital data in time domain and average value of the converted 512 data was calculated in computer. Time average image was displayed by gray levels colour of acquired N x N matrix average data in the scanning area on the sample. This technique having smoothing effects in time domain make developed an ultrasonic image on a highly scattering area. In depth profile technique, time difference between the reference and the reflected signal was detected with minimum resolution performance of 2ns, thus we can acquired real 3 dimensional shape of the scanning area in accordance with relative magnitude. Through these experiments, peak value, time average and depth profile images were analysed and advantages of each algorithm were proposed.

  • 하천은 침식작용과 퇴적작용에 의해 유사를 하류방향으로 이동시킨다. 하천의 침식작용은 하상을 변화시키고 교량, 보 등의 하천 구조물의 안전성을 저해하여 국민의 재산과 생명에 막대한 피해를 입힌다. 또한 퇴적작용은 상류로부터 이동한 유사를 하도 내에 퇴적시켜 하천의 형상을 변화시키고, 통수면적을 감소시켜 홍수기에 범람 빈도와 규모를 증가시킨다. 이처럼 부유사 자료는 하천 구조물의 설계, 수자원 개발 및 관리를 위한 하천계획의 전반에 있어 매우 중요한 자료이지만, 국내의 경우 유사량 측정방법에 대한 연구가 미비하여 대부분 유사량 채집기를 활용한 직접 측정이 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 유사량 채집기를 활용한 관측은 매우 제한된 지역에서 간헐적으로 실시되고 있어 측정 자료가 부족한 실정이다. 이러한 한계를 극복하고자 간접적인 측정 방식을 개발하였으나 우리나라의 강우 특성상 홍수기를 거치면서 하천의 수리학적 특성이 변화하여 관계식의 신뢰도가 떨어지며 자주 갱신해야 한다는 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 횡방향 유속과 신호대잡음비(Signal to Noise Ratio, SNR)를 측정하는 H-ADCP(SonTek, SL-3000)와 레이저 회절을 이용하여 지점의 입도분포와 부유사 농도를 측정하는 레이저부유사측정기(LISST : Laser In-Situ Scattering and Transmissometry)를 이용하여 자료를 취득하였다. 그리고 취득된 신호대잡음비, 부유사 농도간의 관계분석을 통해 회귀식을 구축한 후, 초음파 산란도로 정의되는 신호대잡음비를 활용하여 실내 실험수로의 부유사량을 산정하였고 실측 부유사량과의 비교를 통해 오차 분석을 실시하였다. 오차 분석 결과 실측 부유사량은 138.15g/s, 추정 부유사량은 165.372g/s로 신호대잡음비를 이용하여 추정한 부유사량이 약 19% 과다산정 하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 현재 우리나라에 다수 설치되어 있는 수평초음파도플러유속계(H-ADCP)를 활용한 지속적인 부유사량 관측의 토대를 마련할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 최근 기존의 전통적인 부유사채집기를 활용한 유사량 측정방법의 대안으로 지속적인 유량측정을 목적으로 활용되고 있는 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계의 초음파산란도를 활용하여 부유사농도를 측정에 대한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 하지만, 하천에서 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계를 활용한 유사량 측정 연구는 현장에서 측정된 자료를 기반으로 분석이 수행되기 때문에 통제된 유사 조건에서의 유사의 농도 및 입도분포에 대한 사전 정보를 바탕으로 정밀한 분석의 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 안동하천실험센터 순환수로에서 균일한 입도를 가지고 있는 황토를 활용하여 주입량에 따른 초음파산란도의 변화와 동시에 측정된 LISST(laser in-situ scattering and transmissometry)의 부유사 농도와 입도 자료를 활용하여 유사공급에 따른 3Mhz의 단일 주파수를 사용하는 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계의 초음파산란도를 활용한 부유사농도 및 평균입경의 측정에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 측정결과, 유사공급에 따라서 초음파산란도를 활용하여 부유사농도가 증가하는 경향을 나타내고 있었으며, 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계로부터 측정된 셀별 초음파산란도를 활용하여 부유사농도의 공간적인 분포의 분석이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 유사감쇄계수를 활용하여 LISST로부터 측정된 평균입경과의 관계식을 개발하여 유사공급에 따른 평균입경의 변화를 측정할 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 추후, 통제된 조건에서의 다양한 입도분포에 따른 실험을 통해 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계의 초음파산란도를 활용한 부유사농도 측정 정확도를 개선과 유사감쇄계수를 통해 평균입경을 측정하는데 활용이 될 것으로 판단된다.

  • Reconstructing underwater geometry in real time with forward-looking sonar is critical for applications such as localization, mapping, and path planning. Geometrical data must be repeatedly calculated and overwritten in real time because the reliability of the acoustic data is affected by various factors. Moreover, scattering of signal data during the coordinate conversion process may lead to geometrical errors, which lowers the accuracy of the information obtained by the sensor system. In this study, we propose a three-step data processing method with low computational cost for real-time operation. First, the number of data points to be interpolated is determined with respect to the distance between each point and the size of the data grid in a Cartesian coordinate system. Then, the data are processed with a nonlinear interpolation so that they exhibit linear properties in the coordinate system. Finally, the data are transformed based on variations in the position and orientation of the sonar over time. The results of an evaluation of our proposed approach in a simulation show that the nonlinear interpolation operation constructed a continuous underwater geometry dataset with low geometrical error.

  • This paper suggests an estimation method of the source signal and the channel impulse response (CIR) using ray-based blind deconvolution (RBD) in the underwater acoustic channel environment where Doppler effect exists by the relative motion between source and receiver. It is difficult to estimate the CIR on Doppler effect by the matched filter with a highly Doppler-sensitive waveform such as the m-sequence signal because Doppler shift can severely degrade the correlation between the received signal corrupted by Doppler effect and the original source signal. In this study, the Doppler-shifted source-signal's phase is estimated using the RBD, and the received signal is compensated by it to obtain the Doppler-corrected CIR. It is verified that using the matched filter with the received signal from the experimental data fails to estimate the CIR while the obtained CIR by the suggested method has the similarity to the propagation path of the ray model. Also, the results show that the reconstructed source signal using the RBD has the better Doppler shift compensation than the Doppler-shifted source signal derived from scattering function.
