본 논문에서는 256 능동위상배열 기반의 연직바람 관측장비(RWP)의 송수신 채널의 크기 및 위상을 보정하는 방법등이 논의된다. 별도의 모듈 추가 없이 송수신 전단기 및 송수신 전환기에 커플러 및 스위치를 사용하여 송신 및 수신 보정 경로를 확보하였고, Gain 및 Phase Detector를 사용하여 256 송수신 채널의 크기 및 위상을 독립적으로 보정하였다. 보정된 256 능동위상배열 안테나는 근접전계 시험을 통해 5개의 빔 (연직, 동, 서, 남, 북)의 빔폭 및 사이드 로브가 시뮬레이션 계산 값과 일치함을 확인하였다. 제안된 보정방법은 실외 환경에서 운용되는 능동위상배열 기반의 시스템에 용이하게 적용이 가능하다.

This letter proposes a novel calibration method for a multiport amplifier (MPA) to achieve optimum port-to-port isolation by correcting both the amplitude and phase of the calibration signals. The proposed architecture allows for the detection of the phase error and amplitude error in each RF signal path simultaneously and can enhance the calibrated resolution by controlling the analog phase shifters and attenuators. The designed $2{\times}2$ and $4{\times}4$ MPAs show isolation characteristics of 30 dB and 27 dB over a frequency range of 19.5 GHz to 22.5 GHz, respectively.

본 논문에서는 멀티베이스라인 인터페로미터 방향 탐지 시스템에서 진폭 및 위상 부정합 오차를 보정할 수 있는 공분산행렬 기반 자체 교정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 비용함수를 정의한 후 제한 조건을 갖는 비선형 최소화 방법으로서, 공간 섹터를 이용하여 부정합 오차를 획기적으로 교정하는 알고리즘이다. 다만 공간 섹터를 선정하기 위하여 초기 추정각을 요구하는 단점이 있으나, 이는 일반적인 비선형 최소화 문제의 공통적인 단점이다. 적절한 공간 섹터 간격을 선정하여 시뮬레이션한 결과, 제안된 방법이 기존 인터페로미터 방식보다 표본바이어스, 표본표준편차, 평균제곱오차면에서 획기적으로 우수한 통계적 성능을 보여주었다. 더구나 섹터 간격이 도래각과 $5^{\circ}$ 이내일 경우에, 30 dB의 진폭 부정합 및 $50^{\circ}$ 이상 큰 값의 위상 부정합이 발생하는 경우에도 획기적인 보정 능력을 보여주었으며, 신호대 잡음비에도 덜 민감한 특징을 나타내었다.

A number of calibration methods are described in ISO 16063 (revision of ISO 5347) and they may be used for special purposes. However, the use of a laser interferometer is recommended for primary calibration. This paper introduces the primary vibration calibration by measuring displacement amplitude and frequency using laser interferometry.

This paper presents a wideband Current-Reused Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) with 2-Step Automatic Amplitude Calibration (AAC). Tuning range of the proposed VCO is from 1.95 GHz to 3.15 GHz. The mismatch of differential voltage is within 0.6 %. At 2.423 GHz, the phase noise is -116.3 dBc/Hz at the 1 MHz offset frequency with the current consumption of 2.6 mA. The VCO is implemented $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The layout size is $720{\times}580{\mu}m^2$.

We present the results of KaVA SgrA* observation together with Takahagi(32m), Yamaguchi(32m) and Nobeyama(45m) telescopes at 22 and 43GHz, respectively. In early 2014, G2 cloud was expected to encounter with SgrA* and to make a significant flux variation, but it has not been measured yet. So it's worth to check our amplitude calibration method to confirm if we have a missing flux caused by uncertainty in measuring it. We have tested both a standard method using system noise temperature(Tsys) with antenna gain information, and a template method in order to calibrate antenna gain using nearby maser source. As a result, we found that the latter method is useful for antennas which have inaccurate gain information or poor Tsys measurements, and is especially effective for sources at low elevation like SgrA*. In addition, the comparison shows that the amplitude calibration by standard method can be improved up to 10% with a correction factor using a template method. This result implies we can get more accurate flux from a standard method when any maser source not exists around target.

Nonlinear harmonic waves generated at cracked interfaces are investigated both experimentally and theoretically. A compact tension specimen is fabricated and the amplitude of transmitted wave is analyzed as a function of position along the fatigued crack surface. In order to measure as many nonlinear harmonic components as possible a broadband Lithium Niobate ($LiNbO_3$) transducers are employed together with a calibration technique for making absolute amplitude measurements with fluid-coupled receiving transducers. Cracked interfaces are shown to generate high acoustic nonlinearities which are manifested as harmonies in the power spectrum of the received signal. The first subharmonic (f/2) and the second harmonic (2f) waves are found to be dominant nonlinear components for an incident toneburst signal of frequency f. To explain the observed nonlinear behavior a partially closed crack is modeled by planar half interfaces that can account for crack parameters such as crack opening displacement and crack surface conditions. The simulation results show reasonable agreements with the experimental results.

This paper addresses the study on developing the angular vibration calibration system which requires the highly accurate measurement technique of the amplitude and period of an oscillating angular motion. Two developed models for the low and high frequency ranges are introduced and their main features are also compared. In addition to the angular vibration exciters, a new measurement method, referred to the 'equi-angle sampling method', is proposed and its theoretical backgrounds are introduced. The proposed method is shown to provide much less measurement uncertainty, compared the fringe counting method. Experimental results demonstrate what amount of angular vibration amplitude measurement uncertainty is improved by suing the proposed equi-angle sampling method.

The periodic inspection of piping and pressure vessels welds in nuclear power plant has to provide reliable result related to weld flaws, such as location, maximum amplitude response, ultrasonic length, height and finally the nature or flaw pattern. The founded flaw in ultrasonic inspection is accepted or rejected based on these data. Specially, the amplitude of flaw response is used as basic parameter for flaw sizing and it may cause some deviation in length sizing result. Currently the ultrasonic inspections in nuclear power plant components are performed by specific inspection procedure which describing inspection technique include inspection system, calibration methodology and flaw characterizing. To perform ultrasonic inspection during in-service inspection, reference gain should be established before starting ultrasonic inspection by the requirement of ASME code. This reference gain used as basic criteria to evaluate flaw sizing. Sometimes, a little difference in establishing reference gain between calibration and field condition can lead to deviation in flaw sizing. Due to this difference, the inspection result may cause flaw sizing error. Therefore, the objective of this study is to compare and evaluate the ultrasonic amplitude difference between air filled and water filled pipe in nuclear power plant. Additionally, the accuracy of flaw sizing is estimated by comparing both conditions.

SgrA* located in the center of the Milky Way is of great interest to understand the physics of supermassive black hole(SMBH) and the interaction of the G2 cloud around SgrA* with the accretion flow which was expected since 2013. In order to seize this rare opportunity, KVN and VERA Array (so called, KaVA) has started an intensive monitoring program of SgrA* at 22/43 GHz where scatter broadening is reduced compared to lower frequency VLBI observations. We present the results of KaVA SgrA* observation together with Takahagi (32m) and Yamaguchi (32m) telescopes at 22 GHz on March 24, 2013. We have tested both a standard amplitude calibration methods using the Tsys and antenna gain information and a template amplitude calibration method which uses a peak of H2O maser line of nearby maser source (SgrB2), and found that the latter method is useful when an accuracy of Tsys measurement or antenna gain of a telescope is poor. In our comparison, the difference between the two methods is around 20% (~5% for the KVN and ~15% for the VERA when the elevation is above $20^{\circ}$). We also imaged SgrA* with a total flux of ~0.7 Jy at 22GHz, and fitted an elliptical Gaussian model which has a size of ~2.5mas for major axis and ~1.7mas for minor axis, respectively.
