Research interest in three-dimensional multiple-input multiple-output (3D-MIMO) beamforming has rapidly increased on account of its potential to support high data rates through an array of strategies, including sector or user-specific elevation beamforming and cell-splitting. To evaluate the full performance benefits of 3D and full-dimensional (FD) MIMO beamforming, the 3D character of the real MIMO channel must be modeled with consideration of both the azimuth and elevation domain. Most existing works on the 2D spatial channel model (2D-SCM) assume a wide range for the distribution of elevation angles of departure (eAoDs), which is not practical according to field measurements. In this paper, an optimal FD-MIMO planar array configuration is presented for different practical channel conditions by restricting the eAoDs to a finite range. Using a dynamic network level simulator that employs a complete 3D SCM, we analyze the relationship between the angular spread and sum throughput. In addition, we present an analysis on the optimal antenna configurations for the channels under consideration.

Full Dimension multiple input multiple output (FD-MIMO) architecture employs a planar array design at the Base Station (BS) to provide high order multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) via simultaneous data transmission to large number of users. With FD-MIMO, the BS can also adjust the beam direction in both elevation and azimuth direction to concentrate the energy on the user of interests while minimizing the interference leakage to co-scheduled users in the same cell or users in the neighboring cells. In a typical highly populated macrocell environment, modelling the elevation angular characteristics of three-dimensional (3D) channel is critical to understanding the performance limits of the FD-MIMO system. In this paper, we study the throughput performance of FD-MIMO system with varying elevation angular spread and inter-element spacing using a 3D spatial channel model. Our results show that for a typical urban scenario, horizontal beamforming with correlated antenna spacing achieves optimal performance but by restricting the spread of elevation angles of departure, elevation beamforming achieves high array gain with wide inter-element spacing. We also realize significant gains due to spatial array processing via modelling the elevation domain and varying the inter-element spacing for both the transmitter and receiver.

Reliable flow measurement for dry season is very important to set up the in-stream flow exactly and total maximum daily load control program in the basin. Especially, in the points which tidal current effects are dominant because reliability of the low measurement decrease. The reliable measuring methods are needed. In this study, we analysis the water surface elevation difference of water surface elevation. Quantity relationship to consider tidal currents in these regions. It is known that tidal current effects from Nakdong river barrage are dominant in Samrangjin measuring station. We developed multiple regression equation with water surface elevation, quantity, and difference of water surface elevation and compared these results water measured rating curve. All of these regression equation including linear regression equation and log regression equation fits better measured data them existing water surface elevation quantity line and Among three equations, the log regression equation is best to represent the measured the rating curve in Samrangjin point. The log regression equation is useful method to obtain the quantity in the regions which tidal currents are dominant.

The purpose of this study is to develop regression equations between annual specific sedi- ment of reservoirs and physiographic factors of watersheds. 122 irrigation reservoirs, which have irrigation areas equal to or larger than 200 ha, located in Korea except Cheju province are used in the analysis. Simple regression analyses between the specific annual sediment and each of the physical characteristic factors of the reservoirs are carried out at first. Then, multiple regression analyses between the annual specific sediment and the physical characteristic factors with high correlation coefficients in the simple regression analyses are made. The results obtained from this study are as follows : 1. The results of the sirnple regression analyses show that in each province the watershed area, the length of mainstream, the circumferential length of watershed have high cor- relation coefficients (R=0.814-0.986), and that drainage density, reservoir capacity per watershed area, drainage frequency, basin relief have low correlation coefficients (R=0. 387-0.955). 2. The purposed multiple regression equations between the annual specific sediment of reservoirs and three major characteritic factors of watersheds, namely, the watershed area, the circumferential length of watershed, and the length of mainstream, are proposed as given in Table 2. 3. The result of the simple regression analyses with respect to the reservoir elevation except Jeonnam province, which has very different characteristics comparing to other provinces, shows that watershed area, main stream length and circumferential length have high correlation coefficients (R=0.806-0.884) in low-elevation reservoirs and intermediate- elevation reservoirs, but low correlation coefficients (R=0.639-0.739) in high-elevation reservoirs. 4. With respect to the reservoir elevation, the proposed multiple regression equations bet- ween the annual specific sediment of reservoirs and the three major characteristic factors of watershed which have high correlation coefficients are proposed as given in Table 5.

We investigated the pattern of floral diversity including naturalized plant species and three ecological factors (area, elevation and distance from mainland) of plant species on 53 uninhabited islands in Gyungsangnam-do, southeastern South Korea. A total of 206 taxa in 67 families were observed, and the species of Compositae was most common. Thirteen taxa in eight families of the naturalized plants were observed on 33 islands. The numbers of total plant species, area and elevation were significantly correlated, but no relationship with distance from the mainland was observed. In addition, no relationship was found among the numbers of naturalized plants, area and elevation. However, the average rate of naturalization on islands with different elevations differed significantly, indicating the smallest proportion of naturalized plant species was on high islands. Multiple regression of total species richness identified elevation as a significant factor, while no significant variables were correlated with naturalized plant species. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMS) ordination identified three major variables, distance from mainland, number of naturalized plant species and elevation. These findings indicate that the geography of islands such as area and elevation affected the species richness of plants on uninhabited islands, while human disturbance had a greater effect than geography on the species richness of naturalized plants on islands in southeastern South Korea.

본 논문은 레이다로 다중경로 상황에서 고각 추정을 할 때 고각 추정 오차가 커지는 문제를 극복하기 위한 방법을 제시하였다. 다중경로 상황 이란, 동일한 표적에서 반사된 레이다의 수신신호가 여러경로에서 오는 것을 의미한다. 다중경로 상황이 아닐 때는 모노펄스 방식이 정확하고, 그 반대 상황이면 최소 제곱 오차 추정 방식이 정확하다. 다중경로 상황이면서 고각이 매우 낮을 경우, 최소 제곱 오차 추정이 발산하는 특이 경우가 발생한다. 이 특이경우를 전파 인자 기반으로 판별하여, 모노펄스와 최소 제곱 오차 추정 방식을 선택적으로 운용했다. 그 결과, 고각 추정의 정확도를 높이는 데 성공했다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법을 검증하기 위하여 매트랩 시뮬레이션을 수행했다.

The aim of this study is to analyze the accuracy of SRTM Ver 3.0 and ASTER GDEM Ver 2 over Korea. To enable this, accuracy analysis was performed by using precise DEM which was made with multiple aerial image matching and national base map benchmark. The result of this study identified both SRTM and ASTER have different features. The height of the SRTM was found to be higher (3.8 m on average) at lower elevation and lower (8.4 m on average) at higher elevation. In contrast, the ASTER was found to be lower than the actual height at both lower and higher elevation (2.92 m, 4.51 m on average). The cause of this height bias according to the elevation is due to the differences in data acquisition and processing methods of DEM. It was identified however that both SRTM and ASTER were within allowable limits of error. In addition, RMSE of the SRTM was smaller than the ASTER in comparison to benchmark, and also the bias trend both at higher and lower terrain were similar to the precise DEM which was made with multiple aerial image matching. Therefore, the reliability of SRTM can be considered to be higher.

홍수와 같은 수문 재해를 예측하고 예방하기 위해서는 강우량을 정확하게 추정해야한다. 본 연구에서는 전파강수계의 다중 고도 관측 데이터를 사용한 면적 평균 강우량 추정 방법을 개발하였다. 소형 전파강수시스템은 K 대역 이중 편파 기술을 사용하여 매우 짧은 거리를 관측하는 소형 레이더이다. 면적 평균 강우 추정 방법은 관측 거리와 시간이 매우 짧기 때문에 관측 범위에서 강우 변동이 작다는 가정을 기반으로 한다. 제안된 방법은 지상우량계 및 파시벨우적계와 같은 지상 장비와 비교하여 평가되었다. 비교 평가된 강우 사상들에 대해 전파강수계로부터 추정된 평균강우와 지상장비로부터 관측된 강우량이 잘 일치함을 보여준다.

위성영상을 이용한 대부분의 연구는 대상지역에 대한 2장의 스테레오영상(stereo-pair)을 입체적으로 해석하여 3차원 위치를 결정하거나 영상 상관 기법을 적용한 입체매칭을 통하여 수치지형표고를 추출하였다. 그러나 스테레오 영상을 이용하여 위성의 위치 및 자세를 모델링하거나 위치정보를 얻고자 할 경우에는 기준점의 미세한 오차량에도 크게 영향을 받기 때문에 그 결과에 대한 안정성을 기대하기가 어려웠다. 또한 두 화상 중 하나의 화상에 노이즈(noise), 그림자, 또는 구름이 존재할 패 그 지역에 대한 수치지형모델의 생성이 불가능하거나 정확도가 저하되는 것이 문제로 지적되어 왔다. 이러한 경우에 다중의 입체영상을 분석하므로써 문제점을 해결할 수 있으며 본 연구에서는 동일지역에 대한 3장의 SPOT위성영상을 입체적으로 해석하여 수치지형 표고모델의 정확도를 개선하였다.
