The research on the development of the fault monitoring system for the thermal reduction reactor has been performed preliminarily in order to support the successful operation of the thermal reduction reactor. The final task of the development of the fault monitoring system is to assure the integrity of the thermal$_3$ reduction reactor by the acoustic emission (AE) method. The objectives of this paper are to identify and characterize the fault-induced signals for the discrimination of the various AE signals acquired during the reactor operation. The AE data acquisition and analysis system was constructed and applied to the fault monitoring of the small- scale reduction reactor, Through the series of experiments, the various signals such as background noise, operating signals, and fault-induced signals were measured and their characteristics were identified, which will be used in the signal discrimination for further application to full-scale thermal reduction reactor.

Early detection in real-time response of slope movements ensures tremendous saving of lives and repair costs from catastrophic disaster. Therefore, it is essential to constantly monitor the performance and integrity of slope-stabilizing structures such as Rock bolt, Nail and Pile during or after installation. We developed a novel monitoring system using Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor. It's advantages are highly sensitivity, small dimension and electro-magnetic immunity. capability of multiplexing, system integrity, remote sensing - these serve real-time health monitoring of the structures. Real-time strain measurement by the signal processing program is shown graphically and it gives a warning sound when the monitored strain state exceeds a given threshold level so that any sign of abnormal disturbance on the spot can be easily perceived.

Reactor Noise is defined as the fluctuations of measured instrumentation signals during full-power operation of reactor which have informations on reactor system dynamics such as neutron kinetics. The Reactor internal structures which consist of many complex components are subjected to flow-induced vibration due to high temperature and pressure in reactor coolant system. The above flow-induced vibration causes degradation of structural integrity of the reactor and may result in loosing mechanical binding component which might impact other equipment and component or cause flow blockage. It is important to analyze reactor noise signal for the early detection of potential problem or failure in order to diagnosis reactor integrity in the point of view of safety and plant economics. Detailed design of hardware diagnostic system reactor internal structures using neutron noise(RIDS).

GPS is the most widely-used Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) system. Since GPS is an important PNT infrastructure, the vulnerability of GPS to signal jamming has received significant attention. Especially, South Korea has experienced intentional high-power jamming from North Korea for the past three years, and thus realized the necessity of a complementary PNT system. South Korea recently decided to deploy a high-power terrestrial navigation system, eLoran, as a complementary PNT system. According to the plan, the initial operational capability of the Korean eLoran system is expected by 2016, and the full operational capability is expected by 2018. As a necessary research tool to support the Korean eLoran program, an eLoran performance simulation tool for Korea is under development. In this paper, the received signal strength, which is necessary to simulate eLoran performance, from the suggested Korean eLoran transmitters is simulated with the consideration of effective ground conductivities over Korea. Then, eLoran signal-to-noise ratios are also simulated based on atmospheric noise data over Korea. This basic simulation tool will be expanded to estimate the navigation performance (e.g., accuracy, integrity, continuity, and availability) of the Korean eLoran system.

다중 배선의 주파수 변화에 따른 전송전 파라미터를 계산하고 이를 이용하여 다증 배선의 주파수 종속 신호 천이 특성을 조사한다. 제시한 방법으로 다중 배선 입력신호의 스위칭 패턴, 상승 / 하강시간 (tr, tf) 및 길이에 따른 신호의 흔들림 (오버슛, 언더슛)과 크로스톡에 고주파 효과를 반영하여 시그널 인테그러티를 정확하게 결정할 수 있다. 고속 디지털 회에서 주파수 종속 특성을 고려하지 않으면 최악의 신호 동작 환경에서 글로벌 배선의 경우 26%와 260%, 패키지 배선은 11%와 70% 정도의 신호 천이와 크로스톡 노이즈 오차를 갖을 수 있다는 것을 보인다.

This work describes an investigation into the feasibility of using an acoustic emission (AE) technique to evaluate the integrity of a composite actuator with a PZT ceramic under electromechanical cyclic loading. AE characteristics have been analyzed in terms of the behavior of the AE count rate and signal waveform in association with the performance degradation of the composite actuator during the cyclic tests. The results showed that the fatigue cracking of the composite actuator with a PZT ceramic occurred only in the PZT ceramic layer, and that the performance degradation caused by the fatigue damage varied immensely depending on the existence of a protecting composite bottom layer. We confirmed the correlations between the fatigue damage mechanisms and AE signal types for the actuators that exhibited multiple modes of fatigue damage; transgranular micro damage, intergranular fatigue cracking, and breakdown by a short circuiting were related to a burst type signal showing a shortly rising and slowly decaying waveform with a comparably low voltage, a continuous type signal showing a gradual rising and slowly decaying waveform with a very high voltage and a burst and continuous type signal with a high voltage, respectively. Results from the present work showed that the evolution of fatigue damage in the composite actuator with a PZT ceramic can be nondestructively identified via in situ AE monitoring and microscopic observations.

핵연료 건전성 점검을 위하여 다중채널분석기로 얻은 감마선 스펙트럼을 자동으로 빨리 분석하는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 핵연료의 건전성은 실시간 감시와 주기적인 시료 분석을 통한 원자로냉각재내의 방사선준위로 확인된다. 영광 3·4 호기의 경우, 실시간 감시 계통인 프로세스 방사선 감시 계통(PRMS)이 핵연료의 건전성을 확인한다. 현재, PRMS의 스펙트로미터 채널의 신호처리기는 단일채널 분석기이어서 오직 하나의 방사성핵종만을 파악할 수 있다. 따라서 PRMS를 개선하기 위해서는 단일채널분석기를 다중채널분석기로 대치하여야 한다. 이 프로그램은 실시간 모드와 수동모드로 실행되며, 모든 과정을 자동으로 수행한다. 미 국가표준국의 혼합 표준 선원에 대한 시험 결과는 상용 다중채널분석기인 Canberra System 100의 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 결론적으로 개발된 프로그램은 원자력발전소의 감마선 감시에 사용할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

We gives the method to describe IBIS standard I/O for the characteristics of I/O buffer and to represent its electrical characteristics. The parameters of I/O structure for I/O buffer modelling are also referred, and an IBIS model for CMOS, TTL IC, ROM and RAM constructed amounts about 216. This IBIS model can be used to the simulation of signal integrity of high speed circuits in a PCB level.

As VLSI technology advances rapidly, the operating frequency of digital systems becomes very fast. In such a high-speed system, there are many factors that threaten signal integrity. The noise sources in digital system include the noises in power supply, ground bounce and packaging media and distortions on single and multiple transmission lines. This paper will present a technology survey useful in the design of Gigabit interconnection systems. Some case studies have been constructed which show the lossy transmission line effect of skin effect. dielectric loss, with backplane connectors using the theoretical and practical conditions.
