Recently, sensors which use the infrared light, supersonic waves, and electromagnetic waves have been used for many applications to detect information of the object. For these sensors, the accompanying system which utilizes the sensor should be systematically developed. In this paper, a general microwave radar sensor system is briefly described, and then basic applications of a CW doppler radar sensor system are introduced. For the CW doppler radar sensor applications, a highly-stable, low-cost Dielectric Resonator Oscillator (DRO) has also been designed and implemented, which can be used for commercial microwave sensor systems. The implemented DRO has output power of +5.33 dBm at 12.67 GHz and phase noise of -108.5 dBc/Hz at the 100 kHz offset frequency.

In this paper, a magneto-optic modulator has been designed by using single crystal BSO and polycrystal ZnSe as Faraday cells. And practical core-type optical current sensors using pure iron and permalloy have been prepared and experimented. In order to obtain efficient magnetic field detection, LED(NEC OD08358, 0.87 $\mu$m) was used as optical source, PIN-PD(OD-8454)as optical receiver and multi-mode optical fiber (100/140$\mu$m) as transmission line. The characteristics matrix of the optical element was calculated by Stokes parameter, and optic modulation characteristics equations were derived by Muller matrix. Electromagnetic analysis program (FLUX 2D, micro VAX 3600) by finite element method was used to find the magnetic flux density around the core. The measuring error of the output voltage to input current has been masured below 5% in the range of 50A to 1000A. As the temperature was changed from -20$^{\circ}C$ to 60$^{\circ}C$, the maximum measurement error of the optical output has been found to be 0.5% at 60$^{\circ}C$. These experimental results show good temperature and linearity characteristics. The SNR of the overall system was 47dB in case of 600A (250.2 Oe) conductor current and the system has good noise immunity.

Large and complex structures are being built now-a-days and, they are required to be functional even under extreme loading and environmental conditions. In order to meet the safety and maintenance demands, there is a need to build sensors integrated structural system, which can sense and provide necessary information about the structural response to complex loading and environment. Sophisticated tools have been developed for the design and construction of civil engineering structures. However, very little has been accomplished in the area of monitoring and rehabilitation. The employment of appropriate sensor is therefore crucial, and efforts must be directed towards non-destructive testing techniques that remain functional throughout the life of the structure. Fiber optic sensors are emerging as a superior non-destructive tool for evaluating the health of civil engineering structures. Flexibility, small in size and corrosion resistance of optical fibers allow them to be directly embedded in concrete structures. The inherent advantages of fiber optic sensors over conventional sensors include high resolution, ability to work in difficult environment, immunity from electromagnetic interference, large band width of signal, low noise and high sensitivity. This paper brings out the potential and current status of technology of fiber optic sensors for civil engineering applications. The importance of employing fiber optic sensors for health monitoring of civil engineering structures has been highlighted. Details of laboratory studies carried out on fiber optic strain sensors to assess their suitability for civil engineering applications are also covered.

The small tracking radar is a very important component of the wire harness design because the components are organically connected. In addition, the cable connected to the signal processing unit and the servo unit having a large number of digital signals should be prepared to prevent the CPU of the signal processing unit from malfunctioning due to electromagnetic noise. Cables for signal transmission in the ◯◯ GHz band must reflect the design of temperature, vibration, and shock. To design a wire harness in a small space, the size of the connector must be minimized. The issues to be considered are described and the design plan is presented.

Parameter estimation techniques are discussed for the complex frequency analysis of an electromagnetic scatterer. The paper suggests how the Maximum Likelihood estimation technique can be applied for this purpose. Experiments on hypothetical data sets demonstrate that the Maximum Likelihood technique is better than the Pencil of Functions technique. Although there have been several techniques including MLE suggested as tools of the parameter estimation, the proposed method has strong advantages under the noise-contaminated sample data environment because it uses minimal dimension of system matrix that stands totally independent of the length of extracted data set.

The curve of motion indicated to waveform of the fast movement of human extracted using virtual reality or the quantity of time fluctuation of the electromagnetic signal as the quantity of electric fluctuation of the atmosphere is complex. It is important to decide exactly the signal property as the inflection point for the observation signal. When the signal is mixed by noise signal, the traditional method is difficult to detect the inflection point. In this paper the noisy signal is eliminated by wavelet thresholding method and the filter using natural observation theorem is applied. It shows that the inflection point of the signal waveform can be detected exactly.

This paper presents an ultra-low partial discharge(PD) measurement system that has been accepted as a non-destructive method to estimate electrical insulation of low-voltage electric devices. The PD measurement system is composed of a coupling network, a low noise amplifier, and associated electronics. A shielding box is used to make a better condition against electromagnetic interference. A low cut-off frequency of the coupling network was 1MHz(-3 dB). Calibration tests on laboratory set-up have shown that the PD measurement system has a stable sensitivity of 11.4mV/pC. In an application experiment on a low-voltage induction motor(5HP), we could detect 0.77pC level of partial discharge pulse at the applied voltage of AC 664 V$_{peak}$.
