Ad hoc 네트워크는 데이터 발신과 라우터 역할을 동시에 수행할 수 있는 노드들로 구성되며 특정한 네트워크 기반 구조의 지원 없이도 동작할 수 있는 장점을 지니고 있다. Ad hoc 네트워크에서는 무선 네트워크 상의 전체 전송영역에서 높은 처리율과 낮은 지연시간을 반드시 제공할 수 있어야 한다. 최근 들어 빔 생성(beam-forming) 방식이나 멀티플렉싱 방식의 다중안테나 (MIMO)를 이용하여 높은 처리율과 낮은 지연시간을 제공하기 위한 새로운 연구가 수행된 바 있으며, 이러한 연구 결과에 의해 송 수신자들이 서로간에 심각한 간섭을 일으키지 않는다면 다수의 송 수신자가 안테나의 지향성 빔을 이용하여 통신을 위한 공간 재사용 가능성을 높일 수 있음을 검증한바 있다. 그러나 Ad hoc 네트워크에서 노드 밀도가 증가하면 지향성 안테나의 성능은 무지향성 안테나의 성능과 유사하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 QualNet을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 Ad hoc 네트워크 내의 노드 수가 크게 증가하면 지향성 안테나의 평균 처리량과 패킷 에러율이 무지향성 안테나의 성능에 점진적으로 근접한다는 사실을 증명하였으며, 무선네트워크에서 지향성 안테나 성능 개선을 위해 비중 있게 다루어야 할 중요 이슈들에 대해 자세히 기술하였다.

This paper presents the performance and efficiency of a drive system incorporating a switched-reluctance motor (SRM) with input power factor correction (PFC). The proposed system consists of a PFC, bi-directional converter, an inverter, and a SRM operating as based voltage source drives (VSD). First, theoretical analysis is made for each identified mode of operation in the drive system. This is followed by comparing the performance of the SRM drive system with and without a PFC circuit. The losses are also calculated for both systems and overall efficiency. Experimental results are presented to prove the theoretical analysis.

The operating principle of this QRDCL circuit and multifunctional control-based converter system, including PWM inverter mode in which energy flows from the battery bank to the three-phase utility-grid in addition to an active PWM converter mode in which energy flows from the utility-grid to the battery banks are described respectively by the control implementation on the basis of d-q coordinate plane transformation. The multifunctional operation characteristics of this three-phase ZVS PWM bi-directional converter with QRDCL is demonstrated fer a BESS under the power conditioning and processing schemes of energy supply mode and energy storage mode, and compared with a conventional three-phase hard switching PWM bi-directional converter for a BESS. The effectiveness of the three-phase ZVS PWM hi-directional converter with QRDCL is proven via the simulation analysis.

This paper is to study on the pilot work of bi-directional S.C.R. power converter adopted by the method of diode-bridge type circuit. This apparatus acts as a converter when it is used in convering 3-phase a.c source to d.c output, and it can be used as an inverter which recovering surplus d.c power to a.c source when d.c load become active to cause the induced voltage higher than the presetted point of d.c output voltage. At the same time, its d.c voltage varies continuously in the presetted range of positive and/or negative polarity. As a result of test, the AC/DC bi-directional power converter represents maximum converting efficiency of 91% and power factor of 0.98. Furthermore, this converter also can be applied as a cycleconverter by varying the period of gate triggering signal.

무선 메쉬 네트워크 (WMN: Wireless Mesh Networks)는 망을 저려한 비용으로 빠르게 구축할 수 있는 장점때문에 새롭게 부각되고 있는 차세대 네트워킹 기술이다. WMN은 애드 혹 네트워크와 유사한 특성 때문에 애드혹 라우팅 프로토콜을 주로 사용하고 있다. 현재 몇몇의 WMN 연구에서 Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector(AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR)과 같은 on-demand 방식의 라우팅 프로토콜이 사용되었다. AODV 라우팅 프로토콜은 route request (RREQ) 패킷을 망 전체로 플러딩하여 경로 설정을 한다. 하지만 이와 같은 플러딩 기반의 경로 설정 방식은 대부분의 트래픽이 게이트웨이를 목적지로 갖는 WMN에는 불필요한 라우팅 오버헤드를 발생시킬 수 있기 때문에 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 라우팅 오버헤드를 감소시키기 위해 기존의 AODV를 개선한 방향성 AODV (D-AODV: Directional AODV) 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안하고 테스트베드를 통해 동작 검증 및 성능 측정을 하였다. 측정된 결과를 통해서 D-AODV가 AODV에 비해 라우팅 오버헤드가 감소하며 이를 통해 망 전체의 처리율 또한 향상함을 확인할 수 있다.

This paper presents a beamforming technique for locating impulsive sound source. The conventional frequency-domain beamformer is advantageous for localizing noise sources for a certain frequency band of concern, but the existence of many frequency components in the wide-band spectrum of impulsive noise makes the beamforming image less clear. In contrast to a frequency-domain beamformer, it has been reported that a time-domain beamformer can be better suited for transient signals. Although both frequency- and time-domain beamformers produce the same result for the beamforming power, which is defined as the RMS value of its output, we can use alternative directional estimators such as the peak value and crest factor to enhance the performance of a time-domain beamformer. In this study, the performance of three different directional estimators, the peak, crest factor and RMS output values, are investigated and compared with the incoherent interfering noise embedded in multiple microphone signals. The proposed formula is verified via experiments in an anechoic chamber using a uniformly spaced linear array. The results show that the peak estimation of beamformer output determines the location with better spatial resolution and a lower side lobe level than crest factor and RMS estimation in noise free condition, but it is possible to accurately estimate the direction of the impulsive sound source using crest factor estimation in noisy environment with stationary interfering noise.

Due to the degradation of beamforming properties at angles close to $0^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$, linear array does not have a complete $180^{\circ}$ inspection range but a smaller one. This paper develops a improved sensor array with two additional sensors above and below the linear sensor array, and presents time difference and two dimensional multiple signal classification (2D-MUSIC) based impact localization for omni-directional localization on composite structures. Firstly, the arrival times of impact signal observed by two additional sensors are determined using the wavelet transform and compared, and the direction range of impact source can be decided in general, $0^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$ or $180^{\circ}$ to $360^{\circ}$. And then, 2D-MUSIC based spatial spectrum formula using uniform linear array is applied for locate accurate position of impact source. When the arrival time of impact signal observed by two additional sensors is equal, the direction of impact source can be located at $0^{\circ}$ or $180^{\circ}$ by comparing the first and last sensor of linear array. And then the distance is estimated by time difference algorithm. To verify the proposed approach, it is applied to a quasi-isotropic epoxy laminate plate and a stiffened composite panel. The results are in good agreement with the actual impact occurring position.

Most autonomous mobile robots view things only in front of them. As a result, they may collide against objects moving from the side or behind. To overcome the problem we have built an Active Omni-directional Range Sensor that can obtain omnidirectional depth data by a laser conic plane and a conic mirror. In the navigation of the mobile robot, the proposed sensor system makes a laser conic plane by rotating the laser point source at high speed and achieves two dimensional depth map, in real time, once an image capture. The experimental results show that the proposed sensor system provides the best potential for navigation of the mobile robot in uncertain environment.
