최근 국내에서 개발된 광섬유 격자소자(FBG: Fiber Bragg Grating)를 이용하여, 3종의 Hopper type WDM FBG Acoustic Transducer를 설계 및 제작 하였다. 제작된 3종류의 Hopper type WDM FBG Acoustic Transducer는 기존의 광섬유 센서가 지니고 있는 우수한 장점들을 지니고 있을 뿐만 아니라, sensor arm 구성이 간단하여 실용화에 큰 장점을 지니고 있다. 제작된 3종류의 Hopper type WDM FBG Acoustic Transducer 는 주파수 특성이 10 Hz~18 kHz 대역에서 음파 검출이 가능하였고, 트랜스듀서의 최적 공진 조건을 이용하여 최대 8.6 m 거리까지 신호 검출이 가능하였다. 특히, 기존의 음향 센서를 대신하여 전기적 잡음이 많고, 열악한 환경에서 저 주파수 신호 검출에 실용화를 기대할 수 있고, 센서 어레이(array)시스템 구성을 통하여 고감도 및 다중점 음파 검출 시스템으로 발전될 수 있다.

A ring-shaped lead zirconate titanate (PZT) piezoceramic sensor has been integrated with the Langevin-type piezoceramic driver of an ultrasonic wire-bonding transducer to form a smart transducer for in-situ measurement of three essential bonding parameters: namely, impact force, ultrasonic amplitude and bond time. This sensor has an inner diameter, an outer diameter and a thickness of 12.7 mm, 5.1 mm and 0.6 mm, respectively. It has a specifically designed electrode pattern on the two major surfaces perpendicular to its thickness along which polarization is induced. The process-test results have indicated that the sensor not only is sensitive to excessive impact forces exerted on the devices to be bonded but also can track changes in the ultrasonic amplitude proficiently during bonding. Good correlation between the sensor outputs and the bond quality has been established. This smart transducer has good potential to be used in automatic process-control systems for ultrasonic wire bonding.

IEEE 1451 standard는 네트워크와 transducer간에 표준 interface를 정의한다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 1451 Standard 기반의 data acquisition system과 무선 smart sensor node를 구성하기 위한 구조적인 모델을 제안한다. 제안 된 Network Capable Application Processor(NCAP)은 data acquisition의 역할과 smart sensor node와 네트워크 사이에 가교 역할을 한다. 또한 무선 sensor node에게 영향을 주지 않으면서 재구성이 가능하고 DB를 이용하여 transducer의 정확한 정보를 얻는다. Smart sensor node는 그 자신에 관한 기본적인 정보를 디지털 형식으로 제공하는 능력을 가지고 있다. 이 디지털 형식은 Transducer Electronic Data Sheet(TEDS)라 하며 sensor node의 plug-and-play 기능을 가능하게 한다. IEEE 1451.4에서 정의하고 있는 TEDS와 Template를 무선 환경에서 적용하기 위해 형식을 간략화 하였으며 ad-hoc routing을 통해 전송이 이루어진다. 본 연구 시스템은 의료정보 서비스를 제공하기 위한 목적으로 체온과 ECG(Electrocardiogram) 센서를 사용하였다. Template 형식은 센서들의 data sheet를 통해 결정하였으며 센서의 특징을 정확히 표현하기 위해 재구성하였다. NCA의 DB는 다양한 센서 개발에 따라 새로운 Template 및 하부 항목의 등록이 가능하도록 구현하였다.

Because of the powerful tolerance of overload, dynamic response and anti-erosion, Reluctive Pressure Transducer(RPT), as a measuring element of oil pressure equipment is applied to the measuring system of vessels, air craft. The Electrical reluctance appeared in the pressed diaphragm. To process the reluctance as a electric signal, bridge circuit is used. The design using the reluctance of pressure sensor is described in this paper. For the high efficiency of the sensitive RPT, pressure sensor structure is presented and electrical signal processing is simulated.

Biosensors consist principally of two basic components, receptor and transducer. The transducer part of the sensor serves the signal transfer from the output domain of the recognition system. Optical method of transducer have many benefits, based on phenomena like emission and absorption. This paper will review the methode of optical transduction in brief and out some new development.

A modal transducer in two-dimensional structure can be implemented by varying the distributed transducer's gain spatially. In this paper, a method based on finite element method is developed for optimizing spatial gain distribution of PVDF transducer to create the modal transducer for specific modes. Using this concept, one can design the modal transducer in two-dimensional structure having arbitrary geometry and boundary conditions. As a practical means for implementing this continuous gain distribution without repoling die PVDF film, the gain distribution is approximated by optimizing gain-weights of interface circuit. The whole spatial area of the PVDF film is divided into several electrode segments and the signals from each segment are properly weighted and summed by interface circuit. This corresponds to the approximation of a continuous function using discrete values. The electrode partition is optimized using the genetic algorithm. Gain-weights are optimized using the simplex search method. A modal sensor for first to fourth modes of aluminum plate is designed using PVDF film with gain-weighted interface circuit. Various lamination angles of PVDF film are taken into consideration to utilize the anisotropy of the PVDF film. Performance of the optimized' PVDF sensor is demonstrated by numerical simulations..

도플러 로그용 센서를 이용하여 선박의 속도를 측정하면, 선박의 수평방향 이외의 움직임, 즉 피칭이나 롤링 등에 의한 측정 속도의 부정확성이 문제가 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 피칭과 수중이라는 환경요인에 기인하여 다른 속도 측정용 센서들이 가지는 문제점을 극복할 수 있는 야누스형 초음파 트랜스듀서를 개발하였다. 트랜스듀서 개발을 위하여 그 작동 구조를 해석하고 그에 따라 시제품을 제작한 후, 실험적인 성능 평가를 이루었다.

Recently, electret applications have placed the focus on polymer thin film because electrical properties of a blend are studied. In this paper, we hale measured the infra sonic frequency by using Electret Sensor. Electret is formed by appling the voltage range of -4[kV] to -8[kV] to PTFE film and the sensor is manufactured by moment method to detect the infra-sonic signal. Electret Infrasonic Transducer, which is designed and manufactured by using of the moment method according to the potential and electric field simulation , shows its promising result, since the average rising rate of sensitivity is 7.68 [dB/oct] under 1[Hz], and the average values are within ${\pm}$ 1 [dB/oct]. As a result, it is believed that the characteristics of acquired transducer can be applied to the medical treatment, the industry, and the animal life researches, and also the study on noise elimination is required.

Piezoelectric underwater acoustic transducer is a kind of device for underwater detection working as not only an actuator but also a sensor. The technique that can predict acoustical characteristics of transducer is important for robust design of transducer in harsh underwater environment. This paper represents the dynamic analysis of piezoelectric acoustic transducers based on finite element method through USAP software. Two dimensional model of Tonpilz transducer and three dimensional model of Flextensional transducer are generated for the dynamic analysis and some results obtained by USAP are compared with those by ANSYS.

As modern megalopolises become more complex and huge, convenience and safety of citizens are main components for a welfare state. In order to make safe society, telemetrics technology, which remotely measures the information of target system using electronic devices, is an essential component. In general, telemetrics technology consists of USN (ubiquitous sensor network) based on a wireless network, smart sensor, and SoC (system on chip). In the smart sensor technology, the following two problems should be overcome. Firstly, because it is very difficult for transducer manufacturers to develop smart sensors that support all the existing network protocols, the smart sensor must be independent of the type of networking protocols. Secondly, smart sensors should be modular so that a faulty sensor element can be replaced without replacing healthy communication element. To solve these problems, this paper investigates the feasibility of an IEEE 1451 based ZigBee smart sensor system. More specifically, a smart sensor for large network coverage has been developed using ZigBee for active telemetrics.
