Radar receiving echo signal provides target information - range, velocity and position by signal magnitude and Doppler shift, which are determined by target reflection characteristics and target maneuver. Target angle error is extracted from the magnitude ratio of difference channel to sum channel. In this paper, we introduce a radar Return Signal Simulation Equipment(RSSE) which is implemented for the purpose of performance analysis and evaluation of phased array multi-function radar(MFR). It generates multi-target environment with jamming signals using MC-DDS (Multi-Channel Direct Digital Synthesis), and has scalability by using the efficient hardware configuration. The performance of the developed RSSE has been evaluated under various test environments. Especially, we proved that required target detection performance is achieved by RSP(Radar Signal Processor) interfaced RSSE configuration.

This paper is a part of developing a software that predicts the infrared signal emitted from a ground object by considering solar irradiation. The radiance emitted from a surface can be calculated by using the temperature and optical characteristics of the surface object. The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) is defined as the ratio of reflected radiance to incident irradiance. It is a very important surface reflection property that decides the reflected radiance from the object. In this paper, the spectral radiance received by a remote sensor over the mid-wave infrared(MWIR), and the long-wave infrared(LWIR) regions are computed and compared each other for several different materials. The results show that the optical surface properties such as the BRDF and the emissivity of the object surface can play a major role in generating the infrared signatures of various objects, and the largest infrared signal may reach up to 10 times the smallest one when the infrared signals obtained from a flat plate with different surface conditions under the sun light.

Multichannel seismic data acquired in Ulleung Basin of East Sea for gas hydrate exploration. The seismic sections of this area show strong BSR(bottom simulating reflections) associated with methane hydrate occurrence in deep marine sediments. Very limited information is available from deep sea drilling as the risk of heating and destabilizing the initial hydrate conditions during the processing of drilling is considerably high. Not so many advanced status of gas hydrate exploration in Korea, the most of information of gas hydrate characteristics and properties are inferred from seismic reflection data. In this study, The AVO analysis using the long offset seismic data acquired in Ulleung Basin used to explain the characteristics and structure of gas hydrate. It is used primarily P-wave velocity accessible from seismic data. To make a good quality of AVO analysis input data, seismic preprocessing including 'true gain correction', 'source signature deconvolution', twice velocity analysis and some kinds of multiple rejection and enhancing the signal to noise ratio processes is carried out very carefully. The results of AVO analysis, the eight kinds of AVO attributes are estimated basically and some others of AVO attributes are evaluated for interpretation of AVO analysis additionally. The impedance variation at the boundary of gas hydrate and free gas is estimated for investing the BSR characteristics and properties. The complex analysis is performed also to verifying the amplitude variation and phase shift occurrence at BSR. Type III AVO anomaly appearance at saturated free gas area is detected on BSR. It can be an important evidence of gas hydrate deposition upper the BSR.

This paper deals with research for development of electromagnetic wave absorbers in sheet type for mobile phones. By controlling the sendust ratio, the $Al(OH)_3$ coating, the thickness, the kind of binders, and the milling time, electromagnetic wave absorbers were prepared and examined. Central frequency shills toward lower 2.2 GHz, 1.29 GHz, 842 MHz with increasing thickness 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm of the absorber, and absorption ability controlled each 2.2 GHz to 1.91 GHz, 1.29 GHz to 801 MHz, 842 MH2 to 801 MHz adjust sendust amount from 80 wt% to 85 wt%. The absorption band of the electromagnetic wave absorber coated with $Al(OH)_3$ becomes larger than that of non-coated one. Sendust composite microwave absorbers mixed with CPE were prepared at $70^{\circ}C$ in temperature. The fabricated electromagnetic wave absorbers show a reflection coefficient 5.76 dB at 1.8 GHz in thickness of 0.85 mm.

In this paper, a Base Station Antenna(BSA) utilizing Artificial Magnetic Conductor(AMC) as reflector instead of common conductive plate to improve radiation characteristics and achieve low-profile is proposed. In the case of the conventional BSA on conductive surface which acts as a reflector, a secondary radiation is caused at the corner of the conductive surface, and it increases the back-lobe of the antenna, resulting in deteriorating the radiation characteristic of the conventional BSA. However, using the AMC, the back-lobe of the BSA can be largely reduced by the surface wave suppression. And the Side-Lobe Level(SLL) is also improved, resulting in preventing the service area overlapped. Furthermore, due to the $0^{\circ}$ reflection phase on AMC, the profile of the BSA can be also reduced.

Recently, an evaluation for information system performance analysis an investment effect quantitatively and qualitatively. So various performance evaluation methods are applied to overcome a limitation which is based on traditional investment returns. However a performance evaluation in public service only derives that a result which is qualitatively evaluated about evaluation domain is yes or no, the performance evaluation does not improve in quality of information system. So in this paper we improve existing performance evaluation methods in public service and add a quality evaluation and quantitative evaluation in the methods. Therefore we propose an integrated evaluation model which guarantees objectivity and reliability of evaluation result and which improves an information system. We consider a project object of an Administration Information DB Construction Project which is promoted in information-oriented project and derive an evaluation result which is applied reflection ratio and weight in each evaluation domain to show a validity of the proposed model.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to propose a quality control and quality assurance method for use during asphalt pavement construction using non-destructive methods, such as ground penetrating radar (GPR) and an infrared (IR) camera. METHODS : A 1.0 GHz air-coupled GPR system was used to measure the thickness and in situ density of asphalt concrete overlay during the placement and compaction of the asphalt layer in two test construction sections. The in situ density of the asphalt layer was estimated based on the dielectric constant of the asphalt concrete, which was measured as the ratio of the amplitude of the surface reflection of the asphalt mat to that of a metal plate. In addition, an IR camera was used to monitor the surface temperature of the asphalt mat to ensure its uniformity, for both conventional asphalt concrete and fiber-reinforced asphalt (FRA) concrete. RESULTS : From the GPR test, the measured in situ air void of the asphalt concrete overlay gradually decreased from 12.6% at placement to 8.1% after five roller passes for conventional asphalt concrete, and from 10.7% to 5.9% for the FRA concrete. The thickness of the asphalt concrete overlay was reduced from 7.0 cm to 6.0 cm for the conventional material, and from 9.2 cm to 6.4 cm for the FRA concrete. From the IR camera measurements, the temperature differences in the asphalt mat ranged from $10^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$ in the two test sections. CONCLUSIONS : During asphalt concrete construction, GPR and IR tests can be applicable for monitoring the changes in in situ density, thickness, and temperature differences of the overlay, which are the most important factors for quality control. For easier and more reliable quality control of asphalt overlay construction, it is better to use the thickness measurement from the GPR.
