This paper aims for the development of the high power sonar system for measuring the velocity of a moving object. The high power sonar system transmits two gated 190 kHz sinusoidal signals with 1.6 [ms] time interval to the moving object. Then the sonar system detects and calculates the changed time delay of the reflected ultrasonic signals in order to derive the velocity of the moving object. The transmission part uses a high power amplifier so that 250 W gated sinusoidal signals can be transmitted to the transmitter. 1M RAM is utilized for transmitting and storing of the ultrasonic signals. The time delay is calculted by the cross-correlation technique between the transmitted signals and the received signals. The measured value from the high power sonar system is compared with directly measured values by photo diodes. The result confirms the adjacency to 0.3% error.

A side scan sonar system uses the towfish installed sonars, It is an equipment that search images of the bottom surface of the sea in real time. It is a typical equipment that is related to a sea investigation such as a geological survey, seabed communication cable and power line cable placing repair investigation, fish breeding ground investigation, sea purification, relic and mineral investigation, and mine and submarine search. It used to fined objects and investigate on the seabed surface. But, recently, it is used to sea purification and geological survey that require information of the correct surface of the seabed. So, it needs various filtering technique and image processing techniques development to acquire high resolution image. therefore, this research develops a side scan sonar using multi-beam sensors that supply various information with the fast scan speed and correct high resolution that is not a simple underwater investigation equipment.

Underwater vehicles such as UUVs (Unmanned Underwater Vehicles) and ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) use sonar to detect their underwater environment or other underwater vehicles. The underwater vehicles designed recently have an electrical power system with high rotational speed. This system can generate high frequency vibrations above 10 kHz, and these vibrations can cause bad (negative) effects on the performance of the sonar. In many previous investigations, numerical analyses have been used for high frequency vibration problems. In this study, an experimental analysis was carried out, and a circular cylindrical shell was considered as the hull structure of an underwater vehicle. Frequency transfer functions for the circular cylindrical shell were identified using an experimental vibration analysis in the air and in a fully-submerged condition. We compare the frequency transfer functions in the air and water to obtain hydro-elastic effects. It is found that the dynamic characteristics of the circular cylindrical shell are changed by varying the response position.

Recently, the researches of aerial drones are actively executed in various areas, the researches of surface drones and underwater drones are also executed in marine areas. In case of surface drones, they essentially utilize acoustic information by the sonar and consequently have the local information in the obstacle avoidance as the sonar has the limitations due to the beam width and detection range. In order to overcome this, more global method that utilizes optical images by the camera is required. Related to this, the aerial drone with the camera is desirable as the obstacle detection of the surface drone with the camera is impossible in case of the existence of clutters. However, the dynamic-floating aerial drone is not desirable for the long-term operation as its power consumption is high. To solve this problem, a collaborative obstacle avoidance method based on the acoustic information by the sonar of the surface drone and the optical image by the camera of the static-floating aerial drone is proposed. To verify the performance of the proposed method, the collaborative obstacle avoidances of a MSD(Micro Surface Drone) with an OAS(Obstacle Avoidance Sonar) and a BMAD(Balloon-based Micro Aerial Drone) with a camera are executed. The test results show the possibility of real applications and the need for additional studies.

본 논문은 움직이는 물체의 거리와 속도측정을 위한 고전력 쏘나(SONAR)시스템 개발에 목적을 두었다. 고전력 딘나 시스템은 이동하는 물체에 주파수가 190kHz이고, 1.6ms 만큼의 시간차를 가지는 두 개의 정현 구동신호를 보내, 되돌아오는 초음파의 시간차를 이용했다. 초음파 센서의 송신부에는 고전력 엠프를 사용하여 ${\pm}60V$의 정현 구동 신호가 송신 초음파 센서에 전달 되도록 하였다. 초음파 센서의 신호 발진 및 수신된 신호의 저장을 위하여 IM RAM을 활용하였다. 150-250kHr 대역의 아날로그 BP필터를 거쳐 RAM에 저장된 수신신호는 송신신호와 함께 Cross-correlation을 행하여 시간지 연값을 계산하였고, 이로부터 거리 및 속도를 측정했다. 이 실험에서 설계 제작된 쓰나 시스템으로부터 측정된 값은 오실로스코프와 광 센서를 이용하여 직접 측정한 값들과 비교했다. 그 결과 $2\%$의 오차로 근접함을 확인하였다.

수중음향렌즈 시스템은 해저를 탐사하여 고해상도의 영상을 얻어내는 시스템의 하나로 음향렌즈를 이용하여 빔을 형성한다. 음향렌즈를 이용하여 빔을 형성함으로써 복잡도를 낮추고 구동전력을 절감시킨다. 음향렌즈로부터 들어오는 빔을 배열센서로 수신하려면 음향렌즈의 빔패턴을 분석하여 센서간격을 설정하는 문제를 해결해야 한다. 여기서 SIR (Signal to Interference Ratio)을 사용하여 센서간격과 빔패턴과 영상 품질과의 관계를 분석한다. 빔패턴의 모양에 따라 SIR은 변하므로 대체로 센서간격이 넓으면 사이드로브의 영향이 감소하므로 SIR이 개선된다. 사이드로브의 크기가 크면 전반적으로 SIR이 악화된다. Apodization 함수에 따라 빔패턴의 메인로브의 폭과 모양과 사이드로브의 모양과 준위가 바뀐다. 따라서 적절한 apodization 함수를 적용하여 SIR을 개선한다. 본 논문에서 예시된 빔패턴의 경우 센서간격이 13mm에서 SIR이 0-10dB로 안정이 되지만, 그 값이 높지 않다. 따라서 Chebyshev 함수를 적용하여 37mm 이상의 구간에서 80dB의 SIR을 얻는다. 센서간격이 더 작은 경우는 Hann 함수나 triangular 함수가 좋은 성능을 나타냈다.
