본 연구는 비접촉 무전원 표면탄성파(surface acoustic wave, SAW) 온도센서를 개발하기 위하여 수행되었다. 단일전극 구조의 IDT(inter-digital transducer)와 434 MHz의 공진주파수를 가지는 SAW 소자를 $128^{\circ}$ rot-X $LiNbO_3$ 압전기판위에 반도체 공정으로 제작하였다. SAW 온도센서의 음향 반사판에 따른 반사 신호의 특성을 분석하기 위하여 다양한 형태의 음향 반사판을 제작하여 표면탄성파 신호의 반사특성을 분석한 결과 빗살형 전극형태의 반사판이 가장 양호한 반사특성을 나타내었다. SAW 온도센서를 구동하기 위한 신호를 송신하고 온도에 따른 SAW 센서의 출력신호를 수신하기 위하여 다이폴 안테나와 마이크로프로세서에 기반한 무선 송수신 시스템을 제작하였다. $40{\sim}80^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위에서 개발된 SAW 온도센서와 무선 송수신 시스템을 평가한 결과 온도증가에 따라 SAW 온도센서의 공진 주파수가 선형적으로 감소하였으며 결정계수가 0.99 이상으로 정확한 무선 온도측정이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

최근 수중 환경 모니터링 시스템에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 수중음파센서네트워크에 관련된 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 수중음파센서네트워크는 수중환경 모니터링, 수중자원탐사, 해양 데이터 수집, 군사 목적 등 다양한 분야에 활용되고 있다. 이러한 다양한 분야에서 활용 가능한 수중음파센서네트워크의 활성화를 위해서는 PHY-MAC 프로토콜의 정의가 필수적이다. 하지만, 수중음파센서네트워크는 제한된 대역폭, 다중경로 및 페이딩현상, 지상 무선통신에 비해서 낮은 음파 속도로 인한 전송 지연시간 등 수중환경의 특수성에 고려해서 구현을 해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 수중환경과 관련된 제약사항을 고려하여 적응적인 PHY 프로토콜의 주파수, 네트워크 토폴로지, MAC 프로토콜, PHY-MAC 인터페이스, 데이터 프레임 포맷을 정의하고, 구현한 시스템의 구성에 대해서 설명하며, 수중환경에서의 실제 실험을 통한 데이터를 기반으로 성능 평가를 하였다.

In this paper, an ultrasonic level limit sensor with a new structure utilizing the acoustic impedance matching is proposed to be able to check it out a change of water-level. 2 PZT resonators with the same property are bonded directly on the polyethylene plate. One is for transmitter as an ultrasonic transducer, the other one is for receiver. In this case, a polyethylene plate will operate as an acoustic guider to transmit a transverse wave between 2 PZT resonators in air. While in the water, a polyethylene plate having a similar acoustic impedance with the water will be emitted an acoustic energy into the water as a longitudinal wave. According to this mechanism, there was a wide difference of acoustic signal output between underwater and in air. As a summary, it is believed that this proposed level limit sensor could be used as a new one with strong toughness from the external electrical and mechanical noise.

This paper describes the acoustic emission measurement method to diagnose GIS for particles. We measured and analyzed the signals of acoustic waves using acoustic two types sensors with 125KHz and 50KHz resonant frequency respectively when the particles were dropped on the surfaces of circular plates and inside of GlS tanks. We found that the difference between peak outputs of two sensors depended on the types and materials of particles and the conditions of dropping position. These results showed that the outputs of 125KHz sensor were higher than those of 50KHz sensor in circular plate and 362㎸ GIS tank made of steel and vice versa in circular plate and 800㎸ GIS tank made of aluminum. The ratios outputs of 125KHz sensor to those of 50KHz sensor were 1.4 - 2.37 in 800㎸ GIS tank and were 0.5 - 1.0 in 362㎸ GIS tank. Therefore we knew that adaption of two types acoustic sensors which had different resonant frequencies as a very useful method in diagnosis of GIS.

In this paper, we report a high-precision wireless gap sensor based on a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device. The sensing element is a parallel-plate capacitor whose dimensions are $3{\times}3\;mm^2$, and is attached to the SAW device as an external load. The SAW device, equipped with an RF antenna, serves simultaneously as a signal conditioner and an RF transponder. The center frequency of the SAW device is 450 MHz. The wireless gap sensor prototype exhibits a resolution of 100 nm and a sensing range of $50{\mu}m$. The proposed sensor system can be used for remote, high-precision gap measurement in hard-to-reach environments.

An acoustic sensor using PVDF film is proposed in this paper. And its properties, such as sensitivity level, identification of sound source frequencies. and directivity, were experimented. Sensitivity level measured at the distance of 1[m] was limited in the range of ${\pm}$10dB. Adjacent three frequencies were also tested to identify the frequency of sound sources. In the range of audible frequencies, it could distinguish the frequencies of a complex sound. In addition, it was found that the sensor outputs were maximum in the coincided direction with a source, when directivity was experimented with three sound sources and FFT. The proposed PVDF film sensor has good characteristics of directivity and identifying ability as an acoustic sensor.

Recently, machining process monitoring technique based on AE(acoustic emission) signal is used widely and becomes very important technique in machining process for improving the efficiency and the confidence of the systems. In this study, we fabricated a cheap acoustic emission sensor and monitoring system and estimated the properties of them through comparing with commercial AE sensor systems. In addition, we evaluated the performance of the fabricated sensor in polishing process. Futhermore, we are scheduled to develop the multi-point polishing process monitoring system through fabrication of the more AE sensors and complement of the monitoring system.

Research on underwater sensor networks is increasing due to such reasons as marine resource management, maritime disaster prediction and military protection. Many underwater sensor networks performs wireless communication using an acoustic sound wave band signal having a relatively low frequency. So the digital part of their modem can take charge of carrier band signal processing. To enable this, the sampling rate of the baseband band signal should be increased to a sampling rate at which carrier band signal processing is possible. In this paper, we designed a sampling rate increasing circuit based on a CIC interpolator for underwater sensor nodes. The CIC interpolator has a simple circuit structure. However, since the CIC interpolator has a large attenuation of the pass band and a wide transition band, an inverse sinc LPF is added to compensate for frequency response of the CIC interpolator. The proposed interpolator was verified in time domain and frequency domain using ModelSim and Matlab.

Key components of implantable hearing aids are consist of an acoustic sensor that collect external sound by suppressing the body noise, a signal processor module for compensation algorithm of hearing loss, and a output transducer which has tiny size but have high efficiency, respectively. In the partial implantable hearing aids, technologies of transducer and signal processor are so matured that can be applied not too much difficulty. However, due to the difficulties in implantable acoustic sensor technology, such as minimization of masticatory sound and damage of sensor's membrane from external impact, practical use of fully implantable hearing aids have not successful so far. In this paper, we have proposed a novel implantable acoustic sensor which has trans-tympanic structure, and is verified that the proposed method can be very useful for fully implantable hearing aids by cadaveric experiments.
