항공기나 위성에 탑재되어 지표면의 영상을 획득하기 위한 합성 개구 레이더의 영상 분해능은 거리 방향 분해능(Range Resolution)과 이에 수직한 방향의 분해능(Azimuth Resolution)으로 구분할 수 있다. 레이더 센서를 이용한 영상의 해상도를 향상시키기 위해서는 신호처리를 위한 첩 펄스를 광대역화 할 필요가 있으며, 본 논문에서는 고해상도의 영상을 획득 할 수 있는 디지털 첩 펄스 발생기를 설계하였다. 디지털 첩 펄스 발생기는 크게 AWG방식과 DDS방식으로 구분할 수 있으며 본 연구에서는 DDS방식의 첩 펄스 발생기로 선형 주파수 변조(LFM) 파를 발생시키는 300MHz 대역의 광대역 디지털 첩 펄스 발생기를 개발하였다. 개발된 첩 펄스 발생기는 거리 방향 분해능이 50cm 이상 되는 고해상도 영상 레이더 시스템을 구현할 수 있는 성능을 가진다.

능동 소나 분야에서 잔향 환경에 강인한 펄스 형태에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 잔향환경에 강인하다고 알려진 PTFM(Pulse Trains of Frequency Modulated waveform), Costas, Geometric Comb 신호에 대해 이론적 특성 분석과 해상에서 실험한 데이터를 바탕으로 각 펄스별 ambiguity function 특성 및 분해능 특성을 비교/분석하였다. 분석 결과 PTFM 펄스는 부펄스에 의한 부엽에 의해 거리 분해능이 매우 낮아졌으며 Costas 펄스는 도플러 부엽에 의해 도플러 탐지 성능이 매우 떨어졌다. Geometric Comb 펄스는 CW(Continous Waveform)와 비슷한 분해능 특성을 보였으며 도플러 분해능이 가장 우수함을 확인하였다.

Objectives: For the traditional pulse diagnosis in Oriental Medicine, not only the pulse shape in time domain, but the width, length and depth of arterial pulse also should be measured. However, conventional pulse diagnostic systems have failed to measure the spatial parameters of the arterial pulse e.g. effective length of arterial pulse in the wrist. In fact, there are many ways to measure that kind of spatial features in arterial pulsation, but among them, the method using image sensor provides relatively cheap and simple way, therefore I tested feasibility of measuring 2-dimensional pressure distribution by imaging devices. Methods: Using widely used PC cameras and dotted balloons, the subtle oscillation of skin over the radial artery was recorded continuously, and then the displacement of every dot was calculated. Consequently, the time course of that displacements shows arterial pulse wave. Results: By the proposed method I could get pressure distribution map with 30Hz sampling rate, 21steps quantization resolution, and approximately 1mm spatial resolution. With reduced quantization resolution, $3cm{\times}4cm$ view angle could be achieved. Conclusion: Although this method has some limitations, it would be useful method for detecting 2-dimensional features of arterial pulse, and accordingly, this method provides a novel way to detect 'narrow pulse', 'wide pulse', 'long pulse', 'short pulse', and their derivatives.

Pulse echo techniques have been used for the conventional medical ultrasound imaging systems. However, their resolution is limited in the transmitted signal power. To overcome this limit, pulse compression method used in the radar systems was proposed. This system transmits a continuous coded signal and then compresses the received signal into the short and high resolution pulse by using correlator. The reflectors can be detected by cross-correlation between the transmitted signal and the received signal with the depth information. In this paper, we will present a comparative study of the performances of the most common sequences(pseudo-chirp, m-sequences, modified Golay code). The best result for improving resolution is obtained with the modified Golay Code.

The results of the Crab pulsar observations with the photometrical MANIA (Multichannel Analysis of Nanosecond Intensity Alterations) complex at the 6-m telescope are presented. More than 12 millions photons in UBVR-bands simultaneously with time resolution of $10^{-7}s$ were detected. Using the original software for search for optical pulsar period, we obtained the light curves of the object with time resolution of about 3.3 ${\mu}s$. Their detailed analysis gives the spectral change during pulse and subpulse, the shape of the pulse peaks, which are plateaus (with the duration of about 50${\mu}s$ for the main pulse), limits for an amplitude of fine temporal (stochastic and regular) structure of pulse and sub pulse and the interpulse space intensity. The results of CCD-spectroscopy of the Crab pulsar show that its summarized spectrum is flat. There are no lines, neither emission nor absorbtion ones. Upper limit for line intensity or depth is $3.5\%$ with the confidence probability of $95\%$.

A rectangular-shaped PET system with an adjustable gantry (AGPET) has been developed for imaging small animals. The AGPET system employs a new depth of interaction (DOI) method using a depth dependent reflector patterns and a new digital time pickoff method based on the pulse reconstruction method. To evaluate the performance of the AGPET, timing resolution, intrinsic spatial resolution and point source images were acquired. The timing resolution and intrinsic spatial resolution were measured using two detector modules and Na-22 gamma source. The PET images were acquired in two field of view (FOV) sizes, 30 mm and 90 mm, to demonstrate the characteristic of the AGPET. As a result of in the experiment results, the timing resolution was 0.9 ns using the pulse reconstruction method based on the bi-exponential model. The intrinsic spatial resolution was an average of 1.7 mm and the spatial resolution of PET images after DOI correction was 2.08 mm and 2.25 mm at the centers of 30 mm and 90 mm FOV, respectively. The results show that the proposed AGPET system provided higher sensitivity and resolution for small animal imaging.

본 논문에서는 잔향 환경에 강인한 GSFM(Generalized sinusoidal frequency modulated) 펄스를 설계하는 기법을 제안하였다. GSFM 펄스는 SFM(Sinusoidal frequency modulated) 펄스의 일반화한 형태로써 거리와 도플러 분해능이 모두 우수한 압정형태의 모호성 함수를 가지는 장점이 있다. 하지만 일반화를 하는 과정에서 주기성이 사라지기 때문에, 빗살형태의 스펙트럼을 가지는 SFM 펄스에 비해 잔향환경에서 탐지 성능이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 GSFM 펄스의 파라미터 ${\rho}$를 적절히 변화시켜 SFM 펄스의 잔향 제거 성능과 GSFM 펄스의 거리 분해능 성능 간에 트레이드오프(Trade-off)관계를 분석하고, 비교적 높은 성능을 동시에 만족할 수 있는 ${\rho}$ 값을 제안하였다. 제안한 GSFM 펄스의 성능을 검증하기 위해 잔향환경을 모의하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 제안한 GSFM 펄스가 저속의 도플러 표적을 탐지하면서 우수한 거리 분해능을 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Radiation detection systems working at high count rates suffer from the overlapping of their output electric pulses, known as pulse pile-up phenomenon, resulting in spectrum distortion and degradation of the energy resolution. Pulse tail extrapolation is a pile-up correction method which tries to restore the shifted baseline of a piled-up pulse by extrapolating the overlapped part of its preceding pulse. This needs a mathematical model which is almost always nonlinear, fitted usually by a nonlinear least squares (NLS) technique. NLS is an iterative, potentially time-consuming method. The main idea of the present study is to replace the NLS technique by an integration-based non-iterative method (NIM) for pulse tail extrapolation by an exponential model. The idea of linear extrapolation, as another non-iterative method, is also investigated. Analysis of experimental data of a NaI(Tl) radiation detector shows that the proposed non-iterative method is able to provide a corrected spectrum quite similar with the NLS method, with a dramatically reduced computation time and complexity of the algorithm. The linear extrapolation approach suffers from a poor energy resolution and throughput rate in comparison with NIM and NLS techniques, but provides the shortest computation time.

The methods of recording transient phenomena with picosecond or better resolution fall into two basic categories: those in which the detector itself prossesses adequate time resolution for the task at hand, and those in which the response of the system is sampled by examining the characteristics of a second pulse ("the probe") delayed in time from the initiating pulse ("the pump") as a function of time delay between pump and probe cases. In this case the time resolution is only limited by the pump-and probe-pulse durations. As an application of this time-resolved spectroscopic technique, the ultrafast orientational relaxation phenomena of the dye molecules are currently under investigation in our laboratory. In this presentation the status of our experiment is summarized.iment is summarized.

We have built a grating-based, high-resolution, spectral line-by-line pulse shaper. By controlling individual spectral lines of a mode-locked laser output, we demonstrate the interesting functionalities of the pulse shaper for arbitrary waveform generation, such as width tunable pulse generation, phase controlled waveform generation, microwave waveform generation, etc.
