  • A simulator is proposed in this paper for predicting the RF signal level after propagating over sea and land surfaces. Various sea and land types and transmit/receive antenna patterns, as well as the locus of the transmit antenna, are considered for this simulator. At first, microwave reflection characteristics of various sea surfaces have been computed, based on an empirical formula which is developed in this study for the relation between the sea surface roughness and wind speed. Then, microwave reflections from land surfaces such as forests, agricultural areas, and bare surfaces, are computed using the first-order vector radiative transfer theory. Finally, the signal paths over sea and land surfaces are found using the ray tracing technique and the digital elevation model, and the signal level received by a receiving antenna is computed by the using the reflection coefficients of sea and land surfaces and the signal paths.

  • The oil immersion method can be used to create objective lenses with long working distances without sacrificing the focusing resolution for laser processing. In this study, a space in which air or oil can be filled was formed in the middle of a lens for analyzing the optical properties of a liquid-oil immersion lens. As the refractive media, air and oils of different refractive index values (1.2 and 1.5, respectively) were used. A simulation was conducted in the ZEMAX software environment using the ray-tracing technique, and the performance of the oil immersion lens was verified by determining its image distortion and focal length (FL) in each medium. In the case of air, the calculated FL was 0.813 mm, whereas the imaged FLs were 1.594 mm and 8.126 mm when the refraction indices were 1.2 and 1.5, respectively. The FL of an oil immersion lens could be increased considerably. In terms of image distortion, the oil immersion lens exhibited little distortion at the center in all cases, but different degrees of image distortion were observed at different points away from the center depending on the refraction index degree.

  • A IR zoom telescope system was designed for thermal imagery. The magnification is 4-14 and the focal length of eye piece is 25 mm. First, the frame was built up with first order optics and started design with 3rd order optics. There after, we can get the final design by optimization technique through finite ray tracing. The optical system was optimized with ray aberration or angular aberration including higer orders. Finally, The performance of the optical system was accessed by calculating the diffraction MTF from the design data. data.

  • A software for prediction of apartment noise level ihas been improved. The program is based on the ray tracing technique which has been widely used in the environmental noise analysis and prediction. Especially for prediction of environmental noise in apartment complex, this program is advanced in the graphics routine by bilinear interpolation. In this paper, we analyze the railway noise distribution in apartment environment and develop a 3D graphics routine for illustrating the noise level.

  • The shape and location of the cutoff shield in a projection-type headlight system were optimized by a ray-tracing technique. A shield based on a Petsval surface showed better cutoff characteristics than a flat or cylindrical shield, such as a sharp intensity gradient and less color separation at the cutoff line. Adjustment of the shield’s location between the reflector and the aspheric lens further improved its cutoff characteristics.

  • The emitting structure of multi-channel-type flat fluorescent lamps (FFLs) combined by a lenticular-lens-patterned diffuser plate was optimized by the ray tracing technique. The optimal parameters such as the distance between the channels of the FFL and the distance between the FFL and the diffuser plate were suggested from the viewpoint of the luminance uniformity. The best luminance uniformity, which was higher than 90%, was obtained at the channel distance of 4 mm and the distance of 12.5 mm between the FFL and the patterned diffuser plate.

  • In this paper, the validity for the application of the diffuse sound field theory to the real sound filed, especially on the bounding surfaces of the rooms, was studied. Numerical simulations using ray tracing technique for two models, namely spheres and a reverberant room, were performed. Calculation results show that the distribution of the incident sound energy vs incident angles is approximated to Gaussian distribution, not to the uniform distribution.
