본 논문에서는 PVT(process, voltage, and temperature) 변화에 대한 보상기능을 가지는 시간-디지털 변환기(time-to-digital converter : TDC)를 제안한다. 일반적인 지연 라인(delay line) 기반의 TDC는 인버터의 전파 지연을 기반으로 시간을 측정하기 때문에 근본적으로 PVT 변화에 민감하다. 이 논문은 PVT 변화에 의한 전파 지연을 보상하여 TDC의 해상도 변화를 최소화시키는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 넓은 입력 측정 범위(detection range)를 갖기 위해 Cyclic Vernier TDC (CVTDC) 구조를 채택한다. 제안하는 PVT보상 기능의 CVTDC는 45nm CMOS 공정으로 설계되어, 8mW의 전력을 소모하며, 5 ps의 TDC 해상도 및 약 5.1 ns 입력 측정 범위를 갖는다.

The detection of free spaces between obstacles in a scene is a prerequisite for navigation of a mobile robot. Especially for stereo vision-based navigation, the problem of correspondence between two images is well known to be of crucial importance. This paper describes multi-range approach of area-based stereo matching for grid mapping and visual navigation in uncertain environment. Camera calibration parameters are optimized by evolutionary algorithm for successful stereo matching. To obtain reliable disparity information from both images, stereo images are to be decomposed into three pairs of images with different resolution based on measurement of disparities. The advantage of multi-range approach is that we can get more reliable disparity in each defined range because disparities from high resolution image are used for farther object a while disparities from low resolution images are used for close objects. The reliable disparity map is combined through post-processing for rejecting incorrect disparity information from each disparity map. The real distance from a disparity image is converted into an occupancy grid representation of a mobile robot. We have investigated the possibility of multi-range approach for the detection of obstacles and visual mapping through various experiments.

Recently, there are various researches using inaudible high frequencies like as wireless communication based smart devices, data transmission algorithm, indoor positioning trace technologies. However, when they use high frequencies of inaudible range, they have a problem that the accuracy of data transmission with high frequencies was low because of interference from ambient noise in our real life. To solve this problem, in this paper, we proposed an application based on smart phone and server system for collection of ambient noise and detection of robust high frequency range. The server system could detect the robust high frequency range from statistical analysis of collected noise and the robust high frequency could avoid interference from ambient noise. We tested the proposed application's ability to gather noise and high frequencies for a certain period of time to evaluate performance. According to the testing results, we confirmed that the proposed application and server system could detect a robust high-frequency range via noise analysis in real life. Therefore, the proposed application and server could be a useful technology for future research on inaudible high frequencies.

입력 전압 범위 감지 회로를 이용해서 저전력 6비트 플래시 500Ms/s ADC를 설계하였다. 입력 전압 범위 감지 회로는 변환기내 모든 비교기들 중에서 25%만 동작시키고, 나머지 75%는 동작시키지 않는 방법을 채택하므로 저전력 동작을 가능하게 설계 및 제작하였다. 설계된 회로는 0.13um CMOS 공정기술을 이용해서 제작하였고, 1.2V 전원전압에서 68.8mW 전력소모, 4.9 유효 비트수, 4.75pJ/step의 평가지수가 측정되었다.

본 논문에서는 방해잡음이 존재하는 상황하에서 수대신능신계통에 대한 실효탐지능력인자의 변화를 고찰하였다. 최대탐지거리와 방해거리를 변수로하여 계산한 대수수신계통과 선형수신계통의 결과를 비교하였다. 대수수신계통이 선형수신계통보다 광역의 동특성을 가지나 탐지거리 100km에서 대수수신계통의 실효탐지인자가 약 15%정도 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper introduces the Hull Mounted Sonar Vertical Scanning(HMS Verscan) technique to overcome the limitation of target detection in short range shadow zone. Numerical experiments were done with the HMS Verscan taking advantage of the vertical beamforming technique for two-dimension hydrospace(range-depth). For numerical experiments, ray model and high-frequency monostatic reverberation model were used. HMS Verscan increased a sound pressure level at the short range shadow zone through reflections at the sea surface and seafloor. Inclusion of the boundary scattering improved target detection due to the sound reflected into the shadow zone.

본 논문은 상대방으로부터 탐지를 최소화시키는 스텔스 기술을 분석하고, 대부분의 레이더 반사 단면적 감소는 형상화로부터 기인되며, 특별한 부위에는 RAM을 이용하여 최소화 시키는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 RF 스텔스를 위한 밀리미터파 대역의 레이더 반사 단면적을 최소화시키는 측면에서 94 GHz에서 전파흡수량 17 dB로 98 %를 흡수하는 RAM을 설계 및 제작하였다. 결과적으로 개발된 RAM을 플랫폼에 적용시 상대방으로부터 레이더 탐지거리를 62 % 축소시키는 효과를 얻을 수 있다.

A novel privacy-protection device to prevent visual hacking is realized by using a directional backlight and facial recognition. The proposed method is able to overcome the limitations of previous privacy-protection methods that simply restrict the viewing angle to a narrow range. The accuracy of user tracking is accomplished by the combination of a time-of-flight sensor and facial recognition with no restriction of detection range. In addition, an experimental demonstration is provided to verify the proposed scheme.

FMCW Radar sensor is commonly used for an automobile collision avoidance system for rider's safe. Systems using FMCW radar, however, would be one of expensive solutions for just simple rear obstacle detection purpose due to its high cost. In this letter, a short range rear obstacle detector using novel 24GHz AM radar sensor is presented. It can be implemented at significantly lower cost than FMCW radar for practical commercialization. The proposed AM radar sensor module is fabricated in a single aluminum housing to reduce the overall size while using single power supply voltage of 12V with 1200mA current for automotive applications. The measured detection range is up to 210cm with 10cm of distance resolution, which is suitable for a parking assistance system for automobiles.

Radar sensors are used for space situational awareness (SSA) to determine collision risk and detect re-entry of space objects. The capability of SSA radar system includes radar sensitivity such as the detectable radar cross-section as a function of range and tracking capability to indicate tracking time and measurement errors. The time duration of the target staying in a range cell is short; therefore, the signal-to-noise ratio cannot be improved through the pulse integration method used in pulse-Doppler signal processing. In this study, a method of improving the signal-to-noise ratio during range migration is presented. The improved detection performance from signal processing gains realized in this study can be used as a basis for comprehensively designing an SSA radar system.
