Measurement of deflections of certain bridges is usually hampered by corruption of the GPS signal by multipath associated with passing vehicles, resulting to unrealistically large apparent displacements. Field data from the Gorgopotamos train bridge in Greece and systematic experiments revealed that such bias is due to superimposition of two major effects, (i) changes in the geometry of satellites because of partial masking of certain satellites by the passing vehicles (this effect can be faced with solutions excluding satellites that get temporarily blocked by passing vehicles) and (ii) dynamic multipath caused from reflection of satellite signals on the passing trains, a high frequency multipath effect, different from the static multipath. Dynamic multipath seems to have rather irregular amplitude, depending on the geometry of measured satellites, but a typical pattern, mainly consisting of a baseline offset, wide base peaks correlating with the sequence of main reflective surfaces of the vehicles passing next to the antenna. In cases of limited corruption of GPS signal by dynamic multipath, corresponding to scale distortion of the short-period component of the GPS waveforms, we propose an algorithm which permits to reconstruct the waveform of bridge deflections using a weak fusion of GPS and RTS data, based on the complementary characteristics of the two instruments. By application of the proposed algorithm we managed to extract semi-static and dynamic displacements and oscillation frequencies of a historical railway bridge under train loading by using noisy GPS and RTS recordings. The combination of GPS and RTS is possible because these two sensors can be fully collocated and have complementary characteristics, with RTS and GPS focusing on the long- and short-period characteristics of the displacement, respectively.

본 논문은 출력전류를 증가하기 위해서 L과 C를 공진 탱크회로로 구성하는 고주파 공진을 이용한 전류형 고주파 공진 U-U 컨버터를 보여주고 있다. 이 회로구성은 L과 C를 공진 탱크회로로 구성하였고, 스위칭 양단에 커패시터를 삽입하여 공진과 ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) 커패시터로 동시에 사용하였다. 따라서, 컨버터는 턴ㆍ온, 턴ㆍ오프에서 스위칭 손실과 집음, 전압 스트레스를 줄일 수 있고, U전원 공급으로부터 리플이 적은 일정한 전류를 공급하기 위한 U 리액터는 공진 리액터와 연결되어 있기 때문에 부하 단락시 안정하게 동작하는 장점이 있다. 본 컨버터의 회로해석은 무차원화 파라미터 기법을 도입하여 행하였고, 또한 ZVS영역특성, 출력전력특성, 출력전압특성, 출력전류특성 등 여러 특성평가를 하였다. 여러 특성평가를 바탕으로 설계하였고, 실험을 통한 실험치와 이론치를 비교하여 이론해석의 정당성도 입증하였다.

이동통신에서는 수십 kbps 이상의 고속 디지털전송을 실현하는데 있어서 멀티패스파에 의한 지연왜곡이 수반되므로 전송로 변동, 즉 주파수선택성 페이딩을 극복하는 기술이 확립되지 않으면 안된다. 본 논문에서는 판정귀환형 등화기의 제어 알고리즘으로써 지수적 가중계수에 의한 RLS 알고리즘을 개량한 피드백러닝 RLS 알고리즘을 제안하고 랜덤 가우시안 잡음하에서 정적인 1파 모델과 2파 모델에 대한 등화기의 동작특성을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 실험을 통하여 검토 분석하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 실험결과 $\lambda$= 0.9, S/N = 10 [dB], S/I = 20 [dB]에서 지연파의 지연시간을 1심볼까지 변화시켰을 때 우수한 추종특성과 등화특성을 보였다.

최근 전송용량의 증대 및 가입자 수용용량의 증대에 따른 초고속 가입자선로 구현의 한 방안으로서 디지털가입자라인의 도입이 국내외적으로 추진되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 디지털가압자라인에 대한 국내표준화가 이루어지고 있지만, 이에 대한 성능분석은 주로 측정에 의한 실험치에 국한되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이론해석과 시뮬레이션 기법 등을 제시하여 디지털가입자라인의 S/N 성능 및 BER 성능 등을 분석하였으며, 특히 S/N 성능으로부터 채널용량을 구해 일본에서 측정된 실험치와 비교하였다. 본 해석결과 이론치는 측정치의 상한 및 하한의 중심에 놓여 그 타당성이 입증되었으며, S/N성능은 정송길이가 길어지면 원단누화의 영향보다는 가우스잡음에 의해 지배적이고, 주파수가 높아지거나 전송거리가 길어짐에 따라 BER 성능은 상당히 열화함을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 본 해석의 결과는 향후 국내 디지털가입자라인의 표준화 제정에 기본적인 데이터로서 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

This paper presents a high-frequency boost type ZVS-PWM chopper-fed DC-DC power converter with a single active auxiliary edge-resonant snubber at the load stage which can be designed for power conditioners such as solar photovoltaic generation, fuel cell generation, battery and super capacitor energy storages. Its principle operation in steady-state is described in addition to a prototype setup. The experimental results of boost type ZVS-PWM chopper proposed here, are evaluated and verified with a practical design model in terms of its switching voltage and current waveforms, the switching v-i trajectory and the temperature performance of IGBT module, the actual power conversion efficiency, and the EMI of radiated and conducted emissions, and then discussed and compared with the hard switching scheme from an experimental point of view. Finally, this paper proposes a practical method to suppress parasitic oscillation due to the active auxiliary resonant switch at ZCS turn-off mode transition with the aid of an additional lossless clamping diode loop, and can be reduced the EMI conducted emission.

스펙트럼 센싱은 인지무선통신(CR, Cognitive Radio) 네트워크를 구성함에 있어 핵심적인 기술 중에 하나이다. 2차 사용자인 CR사용자는 1차 사용자에게 간섭을 주지 않기 위해 스펙트럼을 센싱 하여 해당 채널이 비어있거나 규정된 레벨 이하일 경우에만 해당 채널을 사용하게 된다. 최근 스마트폰의 사용으로 데이터의 트래픽이 증가함에 따라 광대역 서비스가 급증하고 있으며, 그에 따라 한 번에 넓은 대역을 센싱하는 광대역 센싱 기법의 필요성이 점차 높아지고 있다. 이러한 광대역 센싱은 인지무선통신이 수행되기 위한 매우 중요한 기술 중 하나이다. 높은 분해능을 갖는 광대역 센싱을 수행하기 위해서는 신뢰 할 수 있는 신호를 얻기 위한 알고리즘 처리가 선행되어야 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 채널 상태가 좋지 않은 부 대역을 제외한 나머지 대역을 CR 사용자가 각각 센싱하여 정보를 취합하여 1차 사용자의 유무를 결정하는 협력 센싱 기법을 제안하였다. 이 때, 신호의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해 각각의 부 대역으로 나눈 CSI(Channel State Information)를 이용하여, 채널 상태를 파악한다. 또한, 검출 기법으로는 시스템 복잡도를 감소시키기 위하여 에너지검출 기법을 사용한다. 모의실험을 통해 성능을 검증하였고 그 성능은 SNR(Signal Noise ratio)에 따른 검출 확률로 나타내었다.

Multi-rod type Ag-AgCl electrodes have been developed for use in underwater electric field sensors. The developed cylindrical electrode had a diameter of 50 mm and a height of 130 mm. The electrode had five Ag-AgCl rods with a diameter of 2 mm and a height of 80 mm to enlarge the reaction surface area. Each Ag-AgCl rod was fabricated under the same conditions as the usual anodizing method in an electrolyte. The two developed electrodes were placed in the center of a 500-mm long, 400-mm wide, and 300-mm high acrylic tank filled with artificial seawater, at an interval of 100 mm, to evaluate their characteristics as uniaxial underwater electric field sensors. The underwater external electric field was generated using titanium plate electrodes installed at both ends of the tank. The noise level at 1 Hz of the developed electrode was approximately 3.7 nV/√Hz. The reception of the underwater electric field signal using the developed electrode was linear, within an error of approximately 0.6 %, in the range of 1-10000 ㎶/m at 1 Hz. In addition, its frequency response was flat within an error of 1.1 % in the range of 1-1000 Hz at 10000 ㎶/m.

In this paper, we propose a system that can detect the shape of a hand at high speed using an FPGA. The hand-shape detection system is designed using Verilog HDL, a hardware language that can process in parallel instead of sequentially running C++ because real-time processing is important. There are several methods for hand gesture recognition, but the image processing method is used. Since the human eye is sensitive to brightness, the YCbCr color model was selected among various color expression methods to obtain a result that is less affected by lighting. For the CbCr elements, only the components corresponding to the skin color are filtered out from the input image by utilizing the restriction conditions. In order to increase the speed of object recognition, a median filter that removes noise present in the input image is used, and this filter is designed to allow comparison of values and extraction of intermediate values at the same time to reduce the amount of computation. For parallel processing, it is designed to locate the centerline of the hand during scanning and sorting the stored data. The line with the highest count is selected as the center line of the hand, and the size of the hand is determined based on the count, and the hand and arm parts are separated. The designed hardware circuit satisfied the target operating frequency and the number of gates.

Early detection of mild cognitive impairment can help prevent the progression of dementia. The purpose of this study was to design and validate a machine learning model that automatically differential diagnosed patients with mild cognitive impairment and identified cognitive decline characteristics compared to a control group with normal cognition using resting-state quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) with eyes closed. In the first step, a rectified signal was obtained through a preprocessing process that receives a quantitative EEG signal as an input and removes noise through a filter and independent component analysis (ICA). Frequency analysis and non-linear features were extracted from the rectified signal, and the 3067 extracted features were used as input of a linear support vector machine (SVM), a representative algorithm among machine learning algorithms, and classified into mild cognitive impairment patients and normal cognitive adults. As a result of classification analysis of 58 normal cognitive group and 80 patients in mild cognitive impairment, the accuracy of SVM was 86.2%. In patients with mild cognitive impairment, alpha band power was decreased in the frontal lobe, and high beta band power was increased in the frontal lobe compared to the normal cognitive group. Also, the gamma band power of the occipital-parietal lobe was decreased in mild cognitive impairment. These results represented that quantitative EEG can be used as a meaningful biomarker to discriminate cognitive decline.

We have developed an InAlAs/InGaAs metamorphic high electron mobility transistor device fabrication process where the gate length can be tuned within the range of 0.13㎛-0.16㎛ to suit the intended application. The core processes are a two-step electron-beam lithography process using a three-layer resist and gate recess etching process using citric acid. An electron-beam lithography process was developed to fabricate a T-shaped gate electrode with a fine gate foot and a relatively large gate head. This was realized through the use of three-layered resist and two-step electron beam exposure and development. Citric acid-based gate recess etching is a wet etching, so it is very important to secure etching uniformity and process reproducibility. The device layout was designed by considering the electrochemical reaction involved in recess etching, and a reproducible gate recess etching process was developed by finding optimized etching conditions. Using the developed gate electrode process technology, we were able to successfully manufacture various monolithic microwave integrated circuits, including low noise amplifiers that can be used in the 28 GHz to 94 GHz frequency range.
