광섬유 사냑 간섭계는 음향 및 진동과 같은 물리적 변화량을 탐지하는 센서로 잘 개발되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 변압기유가 채워진 원통형 캐비티에 음압이 발생되었을 때 한 개의 루프내에 설치된 광섬유 배열 센서를 이용하여 음향을 탐지하였다. 서로 다른 외부 음향 주파수 $f_1$과 $f_2$를 피에조 재료를 이용하여 발생시키고 주파수는 5 kHz에서 90 kHz까지로 선정하였다. 실험 결과 광섬유 센서는 하모닉 성분인 $f_1$, $f_2$, $2f_1$, $2f_2$, ${\mid}f_1-f_2{\mid}$, ${\mid}f_1+f_2{\mid}$의 주파수를 탐지하였다. 제안된 광섬유 센서 배열은 변압기 내의 부분 방전으로 인한 음압과 진동과 같은 물리량을 모니터링 하는데 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The aim of the work described in this paper is to develop a complex underground acoustic system which detects and localizes the origin of an underground hammering sound using an array of hydrophones located about 100m underground. Three different methods for the sound localization will be presented, a time-delay method, a power-attenuation method and a hybrid method. In the time-delay method, the cross correlation of the signals received from the array of sensors is used to calculate the time delays between those signals. In the power-attenuation method, the powers of the received signals provide a measure of the distances of the source from the sensors. In the hybrid method, both informations of time-delays and power-ratios are coupled together to produce better performance of position estimation. A new acoustic imaging technique has been developed for improving the hybrid method. This new acoustic imaging method shows the multi-dimensional distribution of the normalized cost function, so as to indicate the trend of the minimizing direction toward the source location. For each method the sound localization is carried out in three dimensions underground. The distance between the true and estimated origins of the source is 28m for a search area of radius 250m.

Performance of array sonars towed underwater is limited due to the self-noise induced mainly by the strumming vibration of the towing cable and also turbulent flow around the acoustic sensor module. The vibration of the towing cable generates axisymmetric waves that propagate along the acoustic module of the array sonar and produce self-noise. The present study aims to investigate the characteristics of the self-noise induced by the axisymmetric vibrations of the acoustic module. The waves of interest are the bulge and extensional waves propagating along the fluid-filled elastic hose. Dispersion relations of these waves are predicted by means of the numerical simulation to evaluate the wave speeds. The self-noise induced by the axisymmetric waves are formulated taking into account the damping of the elastic hose and the effect of the damping is investigated.

Underwater acoustic(UWA) communication is one of the most difficult field because of several factors such as multipath propagation, high temporal and spatial variability of channel conditions. Therefore, it is important to model and analyze the characteristics of underwater acoustic channel such as multipath propagation, transmission loss, reverberation, and ambient noise. In this paper, UWA communication channel is modeled with a ray tracing method and applied to image transmission. Quadrature phase shift keying(QPSK) and multichannel decision feedback equalizer(DFE) are utilized as phase-coherent modulation method and equalization technique, respectively. The objective is to improve the performance of vertical sensor array than that of single sensor in the viewpoint of bit error rate(BER), constellation output, and received image quality.

Gas-sensor array technology, which has been much utilized in the field of food technology by the name of 'electronic nose' is drawing attention in diagnosing lung cancer based on the analysis of the exhaled human breath. Much understanding has been accomplished about the composition of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of the human exhaled breath, in spite of some variations depending on research groups due mainly to lack of the standardization of the sensing procedures. Since VOCs may be produced during the process of cellular metabolism, difference in the cellular metabolism between healthy cells and lung cancer cells are expected to be reflected on the composition variation of the exhaled VOCs. Several studies have attempted to apply the gas-sensor array technology to lung cancer analysis using many different types of sensors including metal oxide, carbon black-polymer composite, surface acoustic wave, and gold nanoparticles. In this mini-review VOC as biomarkers, sensor array technology and application of the array technology for the diagnosis of cancer disease have been described.

수중음향렌즈 시스템은 해저를 탐사하여 고해상도의 영상을 얻어내는 시스템의 하나로 음향렌즈를 이용하여 빔을 형성한다. 음향렌즈를 이용하여 빔을 형성함으로써 복잡도를 낮추고 구동전력을 절감시킨다. 음향렌즈로부터 들어오는 빔을 배열센서로 수신하려면 음향렌즈의 빔패턴을 분석하여 센서간격을 설정하는 문제를 해결해야 한다. 여기서 SIR (Signal to Interference Ratio)을 사용하여 센서간격과 빔패턴과 영상 품질과의 관계를 분석한다. 빔패턴의 모양에 따라 SIR은 변하므로 대체로 센서간격이 넓으면 사이드로브의 영향이 감소하므로 SIR이 개선된다. 사이드로브의 크기가 크면 전반적으로 SIR이 악화된다. Apodization 함수에 따라 빔패턴의 메인로브의 폭과 모양과 사이드로브의 모양과 준위가 바뀐다. 따라서 적절한 apodization 함수를 적용하여 SIR을 개선한다. 본 논문에서 예시된 빔패턴의 경우 센서간격이 13mm에서 SIR이 0-10dB로 안정이 되지만, 그 값이 높지 않다. 따라서 Chebyshev 함수를 적용하여 37mm 이상의 구간에서 80dB의 SIR을 얻는다. 센서간격이 더 작은 경우는 Hann 함수나 triangular 함수가 좋은 성능을 나타냈다.

본 논문에서는 수동 소나 시스템을 위한 수중 음향 센서 결함 탐지 기법을 제안하였다. 일반적으로 수동 소나 시스템에서는 수십개의 음향 센서를 통해 얻은 음향 신호를 이용하여 배열 신호처리 기법을 이용해 처리된 신호를 협대역 또는 광대역 분석을 위한 2차원 영상 형태로 전시한다. 운용 소프트웨어에서 전시되는 탐지 결과는 배열 신호처리를 통해 누적된 결과값을 전시하기 때문에, 단일 센서 채널의 결함 또는 고장에 따른 신호의 이상 여부를 판단하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 인접 채널간 실효치 비교 및 실효치교차율(Root Mean Square Crossing-Rate, RMSCR) 분석기반 센서 자동 결함 탐지 기법을 제안하고, 결함 센서 채널에 대한 처리 기법을 비교 분석하였다. 제안된 기법의 성능 분석을 위하여 일부 연안 지역에서 실제 운용 중인 센서 배열을 통해 획득된 신호를 이용하여 결함 탐지 정확도를 측정하고, 결함 처리 기법의 성능을 비교하였다. 실험을 통해 제안된 기법이 높은 RMS의 주변소음 환경에서도 높은 결함 탐지 정확도를 보였으며, 결함 처리 기법으로는 0으로 설정 처리 기법이 가장 높은 성능을 보였다.

Korea Earthquake Monitoring System(KEMS) in the Korea Institute of Geology Mining and Materials(KIGAM) as detected more than 1000 events since the end of 1998. But not all events are interpreted as earthquakes because many events are concentrated on daytime. It strongly implies that in addition to earthquake these events include artificial effects such as industrial blasting. Before the determination of eathquake charactertistics in the korean peninsula it is necessary to discriminate the detected events as earthquakes or artificial events. For the discriminant study KIGAM and SMU(Southern Methodist University) installed a triangular four-element 1-km aperture seismo-acoustic array at Chul-Won area northeast of Seoul Korea. Each array element includes a GS-13 seismometer in the bottom of borehole and a Validyne DP250-14 microbarometer sensor mounted inside of the borehole 1,2 meter deep connected to a 11 arm radial array of 10m porous soaker hoses. This array introduce the use of 2.4-GHz radios for inter-array self-contained solar-charged power system and GPS time-keeping system. A 24-bit digital data acquisition system performs 40 SPS in the infrasound and seismometer data. Velocity and direction of wind and temperature are also measured at hub site and included to the data stresam. This seismo-acoustic array will be used to identify and locate associated with industrial blasting and these identified and located events will be applied to form a ground truth database useful to assist the other development of discriminant studies.

Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of multiple sources using sensor arrays has been widely studied in the last few decades, particularly, the spherical harmonic analysis utilizing a spherical array. Both the number of sensors on the aperture and size of the sphere can affect the estimation accuracy dramatically. However, those two factors are conflicted to each other in a single spherical array. In this paper, a multiple spherical arrays structure is proposed to provide an alternative design to the traditional single spherical array for the spherical harmonic decomposition, to obtain better localization performance. The new structure consists of several identical spheres in a given area, and the microphones are placed identically on each sphere. The spherical harmonic analysis algorithm using the new multiple array structure for the problem of multiple acoustic sources localization is presented. Simulation results show that the multiple spherical arrays can provide a more accurate direction of arrival (DOA) estimation for the multiple sources than that of a single spherical array, distinguish several adjacent sources more efficiently, and reduce the number of microphones on each sphere without decreasing its’ estimation accuracy.

In order to develop a one-axis gimbaled acoustic source tracker for mobile robots, a pseudo-linear direction of arrival(DOA) estimator is proposed using a linear ultrasonic sensor array. Under the assumption that the sensor measurement errors are negligible, a linear measurement model is derived using the linear prediction relation of the received sinusoidal acoustic signals. Applying the Kalman filtering technique for this model, the linear recursive DOA estimator is designed. For its linear recursive filter structure, it is preferable for real-time implementation on a commercial DSP. Through the experiments, the effectiveness of the suggested method is demonstrated.
