In this paper, we measured PD signals from artificial surface defects and corona discharges under laboratory circumstances like the fields using both HFCT-sensor and UHF-sensor for MV grade XLPE cable with AMP, spectrum analyzer and oscilloscope. Also, detected signals were analyzed via PRPDA system in this paper. As a result, in this case of HFCT-sensor, the amount of background noise are larger than as compared to UHF-sensor. There is needed some hardware or software or software algorithm removing background noise effectively for diagnosis the underground power transmission cable in the case of HFCT-sensor.

잡음전력스펙트럼 (noise power spectrum, NPS)는 noise 진폭의 측정과 균일한 방사선 영역으로부터 획득된 영상의 품질에 가장 일반적인 방법 중 하나이다. 이 연구의 목적은 megavoltage X-ray 에너지를 사용하여 다른 잡음 전력스펙트럼 방법론들을 비교하는 것이다. 진단 영역에서의 잡음전력스펙트럼 평가 방법들은 국제 전기 규격 international electro-technical commission(IEC 62220-1) 기준을 사용하여 치료 영역에 적용되었다. 우리가 사용한 전자포털영상장치(electronic portal imaging device, EPID)는 Varian TrueBeam$^{TM}$, Siemens BEAMVIEW$^{PLUS}$, Elekta iViewGT 그리고 Varian Clinac$^R$ iX aS1000이었다. 잡음전력스펙트럼의 관심영역을 측정하기 위해, 우리는 겹침 (overlapping), 비겹침 (non-overlapping), 평탄도 (flatness), 반음영 (penumbra) 4가지 인자를 사용하였다. 결과적으로는 Siemens BEAMVIEW$^{PLUS}$, Varian TrueBeam$^{TM}$ flattening filter, Varian Clinac$^R$ iX aS1000, Varian TrueBeam$^{TM}$ flattening filter free에서의 잡음 (noise) 분포는 기존의 첫번째, 두번째, 세번째 실험방법보다는 Elekta iViewGT보다 현격하게 높은 noise 분포가 나타남을 알 수 있다. 이번 연구는 다양한 인자들이 잡음전력스펙트럼의 megavoltage imaging (MVI)영상에서 MVI영역에서 잡음전력 스펙트럼의 기준의 방법론으로 사용되어질 수 있다는 것을 보여주었다.

One of the most important aspects in structural health monitoring is the detection of fatigue damage. Structural components such as heavy-duty bolts work under high dynamic loads, and thus are prone to accumulate fatigue damage and cracks may originate. Those heavy-duty bolts are used, for example, in wind power generation and mining equipment. Therefore, the investigation of new and more effective monitoring technologies attracts a great interest. In this study the acoustic emission (AE) technology was employed to detect incipient damage during fatigue testing of a M36 bolt. Initial results showed that the AE signals have a high level of background noise due to how the load is applied by the fatigue testing machine. Thus, an advanced signal processing method in the time-frequency domain, the Hilbert-Huang Spectrum (HHS), was applied to reveal AE components buried in background noise in form of high-frequency peaks that can be associated with damage progression. Accordingly, the main contribution of the present study is providing insights regarding the detection of incipient damage during fatigue testing using AE signals and providing recommendations for further research.

A method how to determine the shock response spectrum from the FRF of the statistical energy analysis( SEA ) is presented here. The system of 3 different Plates connected by bolt joints is selected simulating missile structural sections Joined together. First, the SEA model was rendered by SEA parameters which were determined from experimental SEA method. Then, the mobility power was input to the SEA model and we can verify the validity of the model in the medium to high frequency range checking the reproduction of output average velocity. And, the shock induced shock response spectrum(SRS) was obtained using SEA FRF and arbitrarily chosen experimental FRF. We have compared the thus obtained SRS with actually measured SRS and they were relatively in good agreement. In this paper, we used the measured SEA FRF and therefore we have got the SRS well agreed with actually measured SHS even in the low frequency range. If the SEA FRF of well verified SEA model is used, the good result will come out in SEA effective frequency range which is more important at SRS.

The broadband and discrete sources of sound in small cooling fans of propeller type and centrifugal type were investigated to understand the turbulent vortex structures from many bladed fans using ANSI test plenum for small air-moving devices (AMDs). The noise measurement method uses the plenum as a test apparatus to determine the acoustic source spectral density function at each operating conditions similar to real engineering applications based on acoustic similarity laws. The characteristics of fans including the head rise vs. volumetric flow rate performance were measured using a performance test facility. The sound power spectrum is decomposed into two non-dimensional functions: an acoustic source spectral distribution function F(St,.phi.) and an acoustic system response function G(He,.phi.) where St, He, and .phi. are the Strouhal number, the Helmholtz number, and the volumetric flow rate coefficient, respectively. The autospectra of radiated noise measurements for the fan operating at several volumetric flow rates,.phi., are analyzed using acoustical similarity. The rotating stall in the small propeller fan with a bell-mouth guided is mainly due to a leading edge separation. It creates a blockage in the passage and the reduction in the flow rate. The sound power levels with respect to the rotational speeds were measured to reveal the mechanisms of stall and/or surge for different loading conditions and geometries, for example, fans installed with a impinging plate. Lee and Meecham (1993) studied the effect of the large-scale motions like impinging normally on a flat plate using Large-Eddy Simulation(LES) and Lighthill's analogy.[ASME Winter Annual Meeting 1993, 93-WA/NCA-22]. The dipole and quadrupole sources in the fans tested are shown closely related to the vortex structures involved using cross-correlations of the hot-wire and microphone signals.

본 연구는 CR영상에서 선량이 화질에 미치는 영향을 평가하기위해 수행되었다. 본 연구의 궁극적인 목적은 임상 흉부진단에 필요한 영상화질을 얻을 수 있는 최적 선량을 찾는 것이다. 영상화질 평가를 위해서 다양한 선량에서의 MTF, NNPS, 그리고 NEQ를 측정하였으며, MTF 측정과 실험장치 구성은 International Electrotechnical Commission(IEC)에서 제시한 절차에 따라 수행하였다. 실험 결과를 통해 흉부진단의 경우 자동노출조절 (Automatic Exposure Control, AEC) 제어반에서 자동으로 설정해주는 선량의 절반 선량으로도 필요한 영상화질이 얻어짐을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 AEC에서 제시하는 선량이 최적 선량이 아니며 화질평가를 통해서 얻어진 최적 선량을 사용하면 환자의 피폭을 상당량 줄일 수 있음을 보였다.

의료영상 시스템을 통해 볼 수 있는 모든 X-선 영상은 피사체 본래의 특성만이 표현된 영상이 아닌 그 영상시스템 고유의 특성이 반영된 영상이라 할 수 있다. 영상화질에서 시스템에 의한 열화는 시스템응답함수인 변조전달 함수(modulation transfer function; MTF)로 설명되며 잡음력 스펙트럼(noise power spectrum; NPS)으로 설명할 수 있다. 이 때, 열화된 영상은 영상시스템의 MTF와 NPS를 정확하게 측정함으로써 그 시스템의 특성에 따라 설계된 필터에 의해 원영상에 가깝게 복원(restoration)될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는, 영상복원 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존의 직접 역필터링(direct-inverse filtering), 제한된 역필터링(limited-inverse filtering), 위너 필터링(Wiener filtering) 기법을 바탕으로 열화된 영상을 원 영상에 가깝도록 복원하고 복원영상의 화질을 정량적으로 평가하였다.

In addition to protocol adjustments during CT examinations, the height of the CT table can also affect image quality. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the change in image quality depending on the height of the table in brain CT, which accounts for a large proportion of CT examinations, by measuring signal to contrast to noise ratio (CNR) and noise power spectrum (NPS) using the head phantom and evaluating them. The head phantom images were acquired using Philips Brilliance iCT 256. When the image was acquired, the table height was adjusted to 815, 865, 915, 965, 1015, and 1030 mm, respectively, and each scan was performed 3 times for each height. The CNR result showed the highest value at 965 mm, which is the height adjacent to the center of the head phantom. NPS showed the lowest NPS at 915 mm, the center of the head phantom in the low frequency region. From these results, it can be seen that the height of the table in CT examination is closely related to the image quality, and it can be seen the characteristics of image quality according to CT table through quantitative evaluation methods such as CNR and NPS.

Upon introducing satellite communication system to Korea, one of the important problems to cope with is the effect from the probable intentional interference I.e. jamming. In this paper we have investigated how much the performance of ordinary PSK signal and Directed Sequence Spread Spectrum PSK signal degrade by the effect of jamming in the satellite communication system. In analysis we have consider the M ary PSK signal and the liniter type nonlinear satellite transponder in an environment of uplink tone or noise jamming plus Gaussian noise and downlink Gaussian noise. Using the derived error rate equation we have evaluated the error performance of BPSK and QPSK systems and compared this with that of DS BPSK system. Form the results, we know that the nonlinear satellite system is degraded more severely by the effect of noise jamming than tone jamming and the effect of tone jamming on the error rate performance can be reduced more remarkably by increasing the process gain in DS BPSK system rather than increasing carrier to jamming noise power ratio in conventional BPSK system.
