A technique was developed for analysis on sonic boom created by supersonic flight and for prediction of its sound level and atmospheric propagation characteristics. It is of great importance to anticipate sound level of sonic boom because it causes environmental issue. For that purpose, the simplified sonic-boom prediction method was applied to calculate sound pressure according to physical properties and flight information of the object and distance to measurement site, in this study. Propagation characteristics of shock wave emanated from a flying object was analyzed by using line-of-sight vector and ray tracing method which dealt with refraction of wave due to atmospheric density distribution along altitude. Predicted results agreed well with measured data from real flight.

Wide FOV(Field-of-View) is required to contain much more visual information in a single image. The wide FOV imaging system has many industrial applications such as surveillance, security, tele-conference, and mobile robots. In order to obtain a wide FOV panorama image, an imaging system with hyperbolic cylinder mirror is proposed in this paper. Because the horizontal FOV is more important than the vertical FOV in general, a hyperbolic cylinder mirror is designed in this paper, that has a hyperbolic curve in the horizontal surface and is the same as a planar mirror in the vertical axis. Imaging model of the proposed imaging system is presented by ray tracing method and the hyperbolic cylinder mirror is implemented. The imaging performance of wide FOV is verified by experiments in this paper. This imaging system is cost-effective and is possible to acquire a wide panorama image having 210 degree horizontal FOV in real-time without an extra image processing.

In the domestic environments, there are many tunnels since most of terrains have mountains. To ensure the quality of wireless network service in NLOS environment like tunnels which differ from indoor or outdoor wireless channels, researches on wave-propagation characteristics. through such channel are necessary. Especially, in such environment the ground repeater called Gap-Fillers are usually used for satellite mobile services. To make sure that mobile service using satellites in tunnels is available, the research about Gap Filling method is essential. This research is focus on the characterising the wave-propagation through tunnels, to find the appropriate frequency, HPBW of the Gap-Filler antennas, the number of Gap-Fillers, etc. In this paper, we present the effective Gap Filling method in tunnels for ISM band, based on analysis of ray tracing and measurement results.

The current study focuses on the consistent analysis of heat transfer in multichannel volumetric solar receivers used for concentrating solar power. Changes in the properties of the absorbing material and channel dimensions are considered in an optical model based on the Monte Carlo ray-tracing method and in a one-dimensional heat transfer model that includes conduction, convection, and radiation. The optical model results show that most of the solar radiation energy is absorbed within a very small channel length of around 15 mm because of the large length-to-radius ratio. Classification of radiation losses reveals that at low absorptivity, increased reflection losses cause reduction of the receiver efficiency, notwithstanding the decrease in the emission loss. As the average temperature increases because of the large channel radius or small mass flow rate, both emission and reflection losses increase but the effect of emission losses prevails.

Semi-transparent volume rendering technique can provide 3-D visualization well by voxel level Processing and alleviate segmentation arf, ifacts compared wish the surface rendering technique. In this Paper, we consider several new schemes which can improve she Perform ance of volume rendering. A directional interpolation method is proposed to reduce the artifact due to the anisotrophic resolution in X-ray CT data. The computation time for rendering is shortened by using the depth information of the 3-D object. And also, we reduce the quantization artifacts in the rendering by introducing the opacity-dependent sampling interval to sampling in ray-tracing.

This study is to make the fundamentals of sound quality evaluation in regard of acoustical characteristics of passenger compartment. The deviation of frequency response function level within audible frequency is evaluated at receiving point in the research of room acoustics. In this study, frequency response function is the one between speaker and driver's ear positions. The positions of driver and audio speakers are optimized by analysis of acoustic mode of acoustic cavity. The main reflection planes are determined by analysis sound ray path diffused at optimized speaker positions. Finally, designer selects acoustical material by analysis of absorption effect of acoustical materials on the main reflection planes in order to avoid to distortion and fluctuation of frequency response function..

원점(초점)에 놓인 광원(점광원)으로부터 방사된 ray들을 광축과 평행하게 진행하도록 그 진로의 방향을 바꾸어주는 것이 대형등명기의 광학부(중심렌즈부, 굴절링부, 절사프리즘부) 역할이다. 이러한 광학부에 대한 설계방법은 일부 서적에 소개되고 있지만, 광학부 설계시 각 부분마다 설계한계에 부딪히게 된다. 본 논문에서는 각각의 광학부에 대한 제한된 설계를 고찰하고 새로운 설계법을 도출하여 용이한 설계를 위해 설계법을 체계화시키는 작업에 대하여 설명하고 이 작업의 타당함을 확인하기 위해 계산에 의한 Ray Tracing과 배광예측프로그램인 Photopia 시뮬레이션의 결과를 제시하였다.

When the optical image stabilization is implemented by moving one of the lens groups in a zoom system, decentration should be considered in the optical design process. Although it is partially possible to calibrate optical performances in an optical system with non-symmetrical elements by using a lot of commercial software, the results of calibrating longitudinal aberrations have some calibration errors because of the lack of precise consideration of decentered optical systems. In particular, the amount of distortion in paraxial ray tracing is different from the experimental value because paraxial ray tracing in the optical system is not useful. In this paper, in order to solve this problem being from various commercial lens design software, the set of equations of paraxial ray tracing in a zoom lens system with the non-symmetrical elements like decentration or tilt are theoretically induced. Then, the methods to calibrate the equations of longitudinal aberrations by using these equations in a non-symmetrical optical system are presented. The method of calibrating longitudinal aberrations can in practice be used to correct hand shaking effects in a zoom lens system.

The use of high frequency band, broad band and MIMO antenna is expected in the next generation mobile communication system. By the rapid increase of demand for wireless communications and the explosive increase of the mobile communication services, researches for optimization of next-generation mobile communication system are required. In the existing MIMO channel models, propagation-environments are commonly classified into urban, suburban, rural area, etc. However such approaches can have drawbacks in that many different morphologies may exist even in the urban area, for example. In this paper, we introduced path morphology concept, and proposed the method of morphology classification considering the building height, density, etc. Delay spread(DS), angular spread(AS) of AoD and AoA analyzed for each environment using the ray tracing technique. Based on the analysis, a MIMO channel model appropriate in domestic environment was suggested.

In this study, the propagation characteristics and the fabrication tolerance of an optical wire in a flexible optical PCB were analyzed by using a ray-tracing method. It is found from the analysis that the sidewall angle of a core should be controlled within $1^{\circ}$ in order to maintain the propagation loss to less than -1 dB/mm, and that the bending radius of the optical wire should be larger than 5 mm in order to suppress the bending loss below -1 dB. In addition, it is confirmed that the lateral misalignment of ${\pm}15\;{\mu}m$, and the angular tilting of VCSEL of $6^{\circ}$ are allowable for the coupling loss of -1 dB.
