  • In radar tracking, since the sensor measures range, azimuth and elevation angle of a target, the measurement equation is nonlinear and the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is applied to nonlinear estimation. The conventional EKF has been widely used as a nonlinear filter for radar tracking, but the considerably large measurement error due to the linearization of nonlinear function in highly nonlinear situations may deteriorate the performance of the EKF. To solve this problem, a fuzzy-model-based Kalman filter (FMBKF) is proposed for radar tracking. The FMBKP uses a local model approximation based on a TS fuzzy model instead of a Jacobian matrix to linearize nonlinear measurement equation. The hybrid GA and RLS method is used to identify the premise and the consequent parameters and the rule numbers of this TS fuzzy model. In two-dimensional radar tracking problem, the proposed method is compared with the conventional EKF.

  • The helicopter system is non-linear and complex. Futhermore, because of absence of an accurate mathematical model, it is difficult accurately to control its attitude. But we can control the non-modeled system with the uncertainty and unstructure using the fuzzy control algorithm. Therefore, we apply optimized fuzzy controllers for the control of its elevation angle and azimuth one using expert's intuitions and knowledges. The simulation and experimental results of the hellicopter simulator CE150 with MATLAB shall be introduced.

  • This paper describes the design of a Coordinates Tracking algorithm for EOTS and its error analysis. EOTS stabilizes the image sensors such as FLIR, CCD TV camera, LRF/LD, and so on, tracks targets automatically, and provides navigation capability for vehicles. The Coordinates Tracking algorithm calculates the azimuth and the elevation angle of EOTS using the inertial navigation system and the attitude sensors of the vehicle, so that LOS designates the target coordinates which is generated by a Radar or an operator. In the error analysis in this paper, the unexpected behaviors of EOTS that is due to the time delay and deadbeat of the digital signals of the vehicle equipments are anticipated and the countermeasures are suggested. This algorithm is verified and the error analysis is confirmed through simulations. The application of this algorithm to EOTS will improve the operational capability by reducing the time which is required to find the target and support especially the flight in a night time flight and the poor weather condition.

  • This paper presents a modified CFS (Closed-Form Solution) for FLAOA (Forward Link AOA) measurements. During when the pseudo-measurement equation for FLAOA is derived, the angle measurement noise is treated more carefully in approximation. As the covariance matrix of the pseudo-measurement noise is influenced by unknown user positions and azimuth, a two-step estimation technique is used in the proposed CFS. The performance of the proposed CFS for FLAOA is compared to that of the conventional CFS for FLAOA and RLAOA (Reverse Link AOA) in a computer simulation. Simulation results show that the proposed method is potentially suitable for applications involving the localization and guidance of indoor mobile robots.

  • It is introduced the phase error sources of a incoherent hologram in incoherent triangular holography and derived the reconstruction image of point-source including the phase error in the lateral direction. From the reconstruction image of point-source, we analyzed the effect of phase error on the lateral resolution. When the phase retardation errors and azimuth angle error of a wave plate and a polarizer range from 0 to $2{\pi}/15$, the normalized intensities of reconstructed images are down by about 0.1% and 2.3%, respectively.

  • The performance of photovoltaic systems could be affected by various factors including installing conditions of modules, and their own efficiencies of solar cells and inverters. The installing conditions of a photovoltaic system including array types, tilting angles, azimuth, locations, quantities of sunshine, optimum angles of inclination and separated distance are analyzed using the SolarPro & Minitep SW simulation program, inorder to set up the installing conditions for improving system performance. The result from the simulation of the 500kWp PV system of Kochang with optimal installing conditions compared with normal conditions shows that the capacity factor has been increased from 11.02% to 12.06%.

  • This paper proposes a fast sound source localization method using a TDOA sign-based algorithm. We present an L-shaped microphone set-up which creates four major regions in the range of $0^{\circ}{\sim}360^{\circ}$ by the intersection of the positive and negative regions of the individual microphone pairs. Then, we make an initial source region prediction based on the signs of two TDOA estimates before computing the azimuth value. Also, we apply a threshold and angle comparison to tackle the existing front-back confusion problem. Our experimental results show that the proposed method is comparable in accuracy to previous three microphone array methods; however, it takes a shorter computation time because we compute only two TDOA values.

  • Based on the averaged Korean head shapes that are the results of digital Korean project by KISTI and Catholic university, experimental apparatus of head dummies of Korean male and female are developed in order to measure head-related transfer functions(HRTF) by using a reverse engineering and rapid prototyping techniques. For the Korean dummies, HRTFs are measured using the substitution method ever 12kHz frequency bands. At every azimuth angle $15^{\circ}$ HRTFs are measured for elevation angles $-30^{\circ}$, $0^{\circ}$ and $-30^{\circ}$. The measured HRTFs are compared with those of KEMAR(knowles electronic manikin for acoustic research) dummy head, which shows $3{\sim}5\;dB$ difference over $4{\sim}5\;kHz$ kHz frequency band.

  • The function of IRCM(Infrared Countermeasures) jamming is to cause the missile to miss its intended target by disturbing the seeker tracking process. This paper analyzes the jamming effect of IRCM jamming for a stationary reticle seeker. The phase error containing the azimuth angle information of target is analyzed for the intensity, frequency and duty ratio variation of the jammer pulse signal. We confirmed that the more the jammer frequency is similar to the spinning frequency of the stationary seeker, the more jamming effect is high.
