본 논문에서는 인공위성을 비롯한 우주물체 관측 및 감시를 위한 전자광학 관측 장비인 망원경의 탐지 성능에 대한 분석을 수행한다. M&S(Modeling & Simulation)를 통한 분석을 위해, 위성 궤도 모델, 망원경 모델, 그리고 지구 대기 모델을 구현하고, 위성을 관측하는 탐지 시나리오를 구성한다. 탐지 시나리오를 바탕으로 지향각 명령 오차를 적용하여 망원경 주요 사양인 시야각(Field of View, FOV)에 따른 지향 성능을 분석하고, 신호대잡음비(Signal-to-Noise Ratio, SNR)를 통해 탐지 여부를 판별하여 검출기 화소수와 시야각(FOV)에 따른 탐지 성능을 분석한다. 본 논문의 M&S 분석 결과는 망원경 시야각(FOV)이 상대적으로 클수록 지향각 명령 오차가 존재하더라도 지향 성능은 좋지만, 대기 환경의 영향으로 화소수가 높고 망원경 시야각(FOV)이 작을수록 탐지 성능이 높아짐을 보여준다. 그래서 시야각(FOV)과 화소수 등의 망원경 주요 사양은 본 논문에서 수행한 M&S 분석 결과 및 종합적인 운용 상황을 고려하여 결정해야 한다.

An ultra high frequency (UHF) coupler possessing ultra wide band (UWB) characteristics ranging from hundreds of MHz to several GHz is desirable for the detection of the partial discharge (PD) pulses because the pulses propagate with rise time shorter than one nanosecond in a gas-insulated substation (GIS). Thus, the authors have proposed a log-periodic antenna for GIS PD detection. Various parameters of the coupler such as frequency bandwidth, coupler gain, radiation pattern, and coupler geometry were considered throughout the simulations. The experiments for the detection characteristics of the coupler were carried out in the mock-up GIS chamber. The results indicated that the detection characteristics of the coupler are dependent on the installation angle of the coupler, the position of the coupler in the hand hole and the existence of the spacer.

선원과 검출기 사이의 거리, 검출기 지름, 방사선원의 부피 효과 등에 의해 검출기 입사면에서 입체각(solid angle)의 변화가 생기고 이는 검출기 내부에서의 경로 길이(path length) 차이를 유발하여 검출효율 결정에 영향을 미친다. 유효입체각 계산을 위한 일반적인 분석 방법은 단순한 기하학적 구조를 가진 선원 (60Co)에만 유용하여 본 실험에서는 검출기와 선원 간 거리 window cap 0.5 cm 기준점으로 하여 25 cm 까지 이동 시 켜면서 측정하였다. 또한 표준부피선원 450 ㎖, 1000 ㎖ 마리넬리 비이커는 검출기에 밀착 시켜 측정하였다. 검출기와 동축인 원형 점선원의 경우, 검출기 창으로부터의 거리에 대한 입체 각도의 변화를 측정치와 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션으로 계산 분석 관계의 결과 검출기의 반지름이 선원의 반지름보다 작을 경우, 입체 각도는 선원의 제곱 반지름 대 검출기의 제곱 반지름의 절반과 같다. 입체 각도의 차이는 0.53가 되므로 몬테카를로의 결과는 허용된다. 검출기-선원 간 거리의 역수와의 관계를 나타내었다. 입체각도는 거리에 따라 급격하게 감소함을 확인하였다. 부피선원에 대한 측정치와 시뮬레이션 결과는 거리 0 cm에서 1.01 %이며 거리가 5 cm, 10 cm로 멀어지면 4 % 미만의 차이를 보인다. 거리가 10 cm 일 때 처음으로 계산결과가 측정 결과보다 작아진다. 이는 거리가 멀어질수록 입체각이 작아지고, 에너지가 낮아질수록 감쇠효과가 지수 함수적으로 증가하는 원리가 효율의 계산에 반영되는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 검출효율은 고체 각도 및 몬테카를로 코드를 사용하기에 충분함을 입증하였다.

A novel and simple algorithm for accurate calculation of RMS voltage is proposed in a digitally controlled grid-tie inverter system. Given that the actual frequency of grid voltage is continuously changing, the constant sampling frequency cannot be a multiple number of the fundamental frequency. Therefore, the RMS of grid voltage contains periodic oscillations due to the differences in the phase angle of sampled data during calculation. The proposed algorithm precisely calculates and updates the initial phase angle of the first sampled voltage in a half-cycle period using phase-locked loop, which is commonly utilized for phase angle detection in grid-tie inverter systems. The accuracy and dynamic performance of the proposed algorithm are compared with those of other algorithms through various simulations and experiments.

A frequency diverse array (FDA) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar employs a small frequency increment across transmit elements to produce an angle-range-dependent beampattern for target angle and range detection. The joint angle and range estimation problem is a trilinear model. The traditional trilinear alternating least square (TALS) algorithm involves high computational load due to excessive iterations. We propose a fast-convergence trilinear decomposition (FC-TD) algorithm to jointly estimate FDA-MIMO radar target angle and range. We first use a propagator method to obtain coarse angle and range estimates in the data domain. Next, the coarse estimates are used as initialized parameters instead of the traditional TALS algorithm random initialization to reduce iterations and accelerate convergence. Finally, fine angle and range estimates are derived and automatically paired. Compared to the traditional TALS algorithm, the proposed FC-TD algorithm has lower computational complexity with no estimation performance degradation. Moreover, Cramer-Rao bounds are presented and simulation results are provided to validate the proposed FC-TD algorithm effectiveness.

Currently, most automobile companies are interested in research on intelligent autonomous vehicle. They are mainly focused on driver's intelligent assistant and driver replacement. In order to develop an autonomous vehicle, lateral and longitudinal control is necessary. This paper presents a lateral and longitudinal control system for autonomous vehicle that has only mono-vision camera. For lane detection, we present a new lane detection algorithm using clothoid parabolic road model. The proposed algorithm in compared with three other methods such as virtual line method, gradient method and hough transform method, in terms of lane detection ratio. For adaptive control, we apply a vanishing point estimation to fuzzy control. In order to improve handling and stability of the vehicle, the modeling errors between steering angle and predicted vanishing point are controlled to be minimized. So, we established a fuzzy rule of membership functions of inputs (vanishing point and differential vanishing point) and output (steering angle). For simulation, we developed 1/8 size robot (equipped with mono-vision system) of the actual vehicle and tested it in the athletics track of 400 meter. Through the test, we prove that our proposed method outperforms 98 % in terms of detection rate in normal condition. Compared with virtual line method, gradient method and hough transform method, our method also has good performance in the case of clear, fog and rain weather.

The ⁿMCP (Neutron sensitive microchannel plate) combined with advanced readout electronics is widely used in energy selective neutron imaging because of its good spatial and timing resolution. Neutron detection efficiency is a crucial parameter for the ⁿMCP. In this paper, a mathematical model based on the oblique cylindrical channel and elliptical pore was established to calculate the neutron absorption probability, the escape probability of charged particles and overall detection efficiency of ⁿMCP and analyze the effects of neutron incident position, pore diameter, wall thickness and bias angle. It was shown that when the doping concentration of the ⁿMCP was 10 mol%, the thickness of ⁿMCP was 0.6 mm, the detection efficiency could reach maximum value, about 24% for thermal neutrons if the pore diameter was 6 ㎛, the wall thickness was 2 ㎛ and the bias angle was 3 or 6°. The calculated results are of great significance for evaluating the detection efficiency of the ⁿMCP. In a subsequent companion paper, the mathematical model would be extended to the case of the spatial resolution and detection efficiency optimization of the coating ⁿMCP.

Ultrasonic inspection of austenitic steel weldments is a truly difficult task due to complicated wave propagation phenomena such as beam skewing, splitting and distortion. In order to understand these phenomena and design proper inspection procedures, simulation is increasingly paid more attention to. This article addresses a ray tracing based approach to determine incident angle and position of optimal wave mode ultrasonic beam for flaw detection in anisotropic and inhomogeneous austenitic steel weldments. Specially, the optimal mode of ultrasonic wave wave is selected by ray tracing simulation, and an optimization approach based on ray tracing and bi-section search is proposed in order to find the ray path connecting two given points in weldments. With help of this approach, the optimal incident angle and position of ultrasonic beam can be determined for a given flaw position.

Ultrasonic sensors are becoming indispensable components in every sector of automation equipments due to many advantages. But the main purposes of the noncontact sensing device are rather narrowly confined within object detection and distance measurement. To widen the realm of the applications to object recognition, ultrasonic sensors need to improve the recognition resolution to a certain amount. To resolve the problem of spatial resolution restriction, an increased number of the sensors in the forms of a linear array or 2-dimensional array of the sensor has been used. Also better resolution has been obtained by shifting the array in several steps using mechanical actuators. For an object recognition using ultrasonic sensors, measurements of distance, shift, oblique angle in certain ranges should be obtained. But a little attention has been paid to the measurement of angles. In this paper we propose a practical method for an object angular value detection in addition to distance measurement in ultrasonic sensor array system with little additional hardware burden. Using the established measurement look-up table for the variations of distance, shift, angle and transmitter voltages for each sensor characteristics, a set of different return echo signals for adjacent receivers are processed to provide enhanced angular value reading for an object.
