In this study, to analyze characteristics of acoustic pressure for spot spray type megasonic, FEM analysis was performed for variable parameters based on the structure of commercial one. and 2 models of transmitter were designed and fabricated, and then acoustic pressure distribution(APD) of the transmitter was measured and compared to the commercial. The results of this experiment show that maximum acoustic pressure of model 1 was higher to 1.6 times compared to the commercial, and model 2 was higher to 1.23 times. Through the course of this study, design technology of transmitter has been developed by means of FEM analysis and experiment for characteristics of acoustic pressure. Also, it is expected to be useful in the development of high power spray type megasonic that is necessary with advance in semiconductor technology.

This paper proposes a method for the acoustic imaging wherein the traditional requirement of the relative movement between the transmitter and target is overcome. This is facilitated through the beamforming acoustic array in the transmitter, in which the target is illuminated by the array at various azimuth and elevation angles without the physical movement of the acoustic array. The concept of beam steering of the acoustic array facilitates the formation of the beam at desired angular positions of azimuth and elevation angles. This paper substantiates that the combination of illumination of the target from different azimuth and elevation angles with respect to the transmitter (through the beam steering of beam forming acoustic array) and the beam steering at multiple frequencies (through SF) results in enhanced reconstruction of images of the target in the underwater scenario. This paper also demonstrates the possibility of reconstruction of the image of a target in underwater without invoking the traditional algorithms of Digital Image Processing (DIP). This paper comprehensively and succinctly presents all the empirical formulae required for modelling the acoustic medium and the target to facilitate the reader with a comprehensive summary document incorporating the various parameters of multi-disciplinary nature.

능동 소나 송신시스템은 전기신호를 증폭하여 출력해주는 송신기와 증폭된 전기신호를 음향신호로 변환해주는 수중 음향 트랜스듀서로 구성된다. 일반적으로 송신기 출력 특성은 부하 임피던스에 의존적이며 송신기 부하인 수중 음향 트랜스듀서는 구동 시 전기적 임피던스가 주파수에 따라 크게 변화하는 특성을 갖는다. 이러한 가변 임피던스 조건에서는 능동 소나 송신시스템의 출력이 불안정해질 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 능동 소나 송신시스템에서 수중음향 트랜스듀서의 가변 임피던스 조건에서도 안정적인 송신 신호를 전송하기 위한 소나 송신기의 설계 및 제어 기법을 제안하였다. 수중 음향 트랜스듀서의 전기적 임피던스 특성은 실험적 방법으로 분석하였고, 소나 송신기는 단상 풀브릿지 인버터, LC 필터와 정합회로로 구성하였다. 실시간으로 부하 특성이 변하는 Linear Frequency Modulation(LFM) 신호를 송신하면서 송신기와 트랜스듀서를 보호하고 안정적으로 출력 전압 특성을 확보할 수 있는 소나 송신기의 설계 및 출력 제어 기법을 제안하였으며, 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.

A technology of ultrasonic biotelemetry for tracking fish behavior is investigated. The ultrasonic biotelemetry system is constituted by a transmitter and a receiving system. Because a pinger was mainly used for the transmitter, the capability for pinger to possess was investigated and the efficient usage for pinger was examined. A source pressure level and a frequency were synthetically examined so that pinger could realize small size, a light weight, and a long life time. The receiving system is divided roughly into directional hydrophone systems and acoustic positioning systems by the receiving method. The directional hydrophone system is divided into single beam and multiple beam with the number of hydrophone, and the acoustic positioning systems is divided into LBL (Long Base Line), SBL (Short Base Line), and SSBL (Super Short Base Line) on the basis of base line. The present situation, the merits and demerits, and the principle of each receiving method were investigated in detail, and the efficient usage for each receiving method were examined.

This paper presents an estimation technique of the equivalent circuit parameters for an underwater acoustic piezoelectric transducer from the measured impedance. Estimated equivalent circuit can be used for the design of the impedance matching network of the sonar transmitter. A fitness function is proposed to minimize the error between the calculated impedance of the equivalent circuit and the measured impedance of the transducer. The equivalent circuit parameters are estimated by using the fitness function and the PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by the applications to a sandwich-type transducer and a dummy load. In addition, the impedance matching network is also designed by using the estimated equivalent circuit model.

A chirp-echo data acquisition and processing system was developed for use as a simplified, PC-based chirp echo-sounder with some data processing software modules. The design of the software and hardware system was implemented via a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). Digital signal processing algorithms for driving a single-channel chirp transmitter and dual-channel receivers with independent TVG (time varied gain) amplifier modules were incorporated into the FPGA for better real-time performance. The chirp-echo data acquisition and processing system consisted of a notebook PC, an FPGA board, and chirp sonar transmitter and receiver modules, which were constructed using three chirp transducers operating over a frequency range of 35-210 kHz. The functionality of this PC-based chirp echo-sounder was tested in various field experiments. The results of these experiments showed that the developed PC-based chirp echo-sounder could be used in the acquisition, processing and analysis of broadband acoustic echoes related to fish species identification.

The directivity characteristics of acoustic transducers for conventional single-beam echo sounders considerably limit the detection of fish-size information in acoustic field surveys. To overcome this limitation, using the split-aperture technique to estimate the direction of arrival of single-echo signals from individual fish distributed within the sound beam represents the most reliable method for fish-size classification. For this purpose, we design and develop a split-beam data acquisition and processing system to obtain fish-size information in conjunction with a 50-kHz single-beam echo sounder. This split-beam data acquisition and processing system consists of a notebook PC, a field-programmable gate array board, an external single-transmitter module with a matching network, and four-channel receiver modules operating at a frequency of 50-kHz. The functionality of the developed split-beam data processor is tested and evaluated. Acoustic measurements in an experimental water tank showed that the developed data acquisition and processing system can be used as a fish-sizing echo sounder to estimate the size distribution of individual fish, although an external single-transmitter module with a matching network is required.

Magnetostrictive materials are used low-frequency sonar transmitter instead of piezoelectric materials. But it is difficult to analyze due to the nonlinearity and hysteresis of magnetostrictive materials. This paper deals with the program development based on finite element method to model the magnetostrictive tonpilz transducers and to analyze their acoustic characteristics. (omitted)

음향 OFDM (Acoustic OFDM)은 스피커와 마이크를 이용한 가청주파수 대역에서 음향 통신을 하기 위해 제안된 것으로, 1600 Hz의 대역을 사용할 때 약 1 kbps로 데이터를 전송할 수 있다. 음악이나 음성 등의 오디오에 음향 OFDM 신호를 삽입하여 음향 통신을 하는데, 오디오에 음향 OFDM을 삽입하게 되면 OFDM 프레임의 보호 구간, 프레임 간의 중첩 구간 그리고 대역 저지 필터의 저지대역 성분 등에 의해 필연적으로 음질 저하의 문제점이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 음향 OFDM 신호를 삽입한 오디오에서 발생하는 음질 저하의 원인을 체계적으로 분석하고, 음질 저하를 줄일 수 있는 방안에 대해 논의한다.
