The V-grooved single-mode fiber in which a surface part of the core was removed was investigated as a quasi-distributed water detection sensor. In the normal state, the V-grooved region is filled and covered with a specific RI (Refractive Index)-matched medium, and the sensor experiences minimal optical loss. As water invades the V-grooved region, the material is dissolved and removed, and a considerable optical loss occurs owing to the large RI difference between the fiber core and water. The experimental results showed the feasibility of the device as a sensor element of the quasi-distributed water detection sensor system based on general optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR).

The daily soil water contents were obtained from the time domain reflectometry(TDR) method and energy balance-water budget approach with eddy correlation at the two small semiarid watersheds of Lucky Hills and Kendall during the summer rainy period. There was a comaprison of daily soil water content measured and estimated from these two different approaches. The comparison is valuable to evaluate the accuracy of current soil water content measuring system using TDR and energy balance-water budget approach using eddy correlation method at a small watershed scale. The degree of simiarity between the regressions of these two methods of measuring soil water content was explained by determining the correlations between these methods. Simple linear regression analyses showed that soil water content measured from TDR method was responsible for 58% and 63% of the variations estimated from energy balance-water budget approach with edy correlation at Lucky Hills and Kendall, respectively. The scatter plots and the regression analyses revealed that two different approaches for soil water content measurement at a small watershed scale have no significant difference.

대용량, 고속 정보처리가 요구되는 System의 모듈은 Data 처리의 고속성 및 회로의 고집적이 가능한 MCM의 형태로 구현되어 ATM, GPS 및 PCS 등의 분야에 광범위하게 응 용되고 있다. 위와 같은 High Speed 응용분야에서의 System 성능은 Interconnect Line의 전달지연, 임피던스 부정합에 의한 신호 반사 손실. 신호선 간의 Crosstalk, Ground Bounce 등의 현상에 대한 최적화 여부에 결정적인 영향을 받는다. 그러나 Interconnect의 특성상 정 형이 존재하지 않으므로 추상적인 Library를 구축하는 형식으로 접근할 수밖에 없으며 이를 위하여 여러기본 구조를 정의한후 각 Dimension을 변수로 두고 해석 결과를 합성하여 Database화하는 접근방식이다. 본 논문에서는 MCM-D 공정을 이용하여 Interconnect Line 특성을 분석하고 Database화 하기 위한 Test Pattern을 구현하고 Time Domain reflectometry(TDR)을 이용하여 그특성들을 측정 분석하였다. Test pattern 제작은 MCM-D 공정으로 최소선폭 27$\mu$m, Via Hole 75$\mu$m으로 형성하였고 2 Layer Signal과 GND로 총 3Layer를 구현하였다. 특성분석을 위해 TDR장비와 모데링 및 Simulation S/W인 IPA 510 을 사용하였다. 이를 통해 MCM-D를 이용한 공정에서 Interconcet Line의 고주파 특성을 측정하고 정량화하여 LIbrary를 제작할수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 도선의 결함 유무와 결함 위치를 측정하는 방법으로 널리 사용되고 있는 시간 영역 반사파 처리 기법(Time Domain Reflectometry : TDR)의 성능 향상을 위하여 가우시안 형태를 가지는 입력 신호와 상호 상관 관계 함수를 이용한 신호 처리 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 TDR은 입력 신호와 반사 신호의 시간 지연을 측정해서 결함 위치를 측정하게 되므로, TDR 방법으로 결함 위치를 측정하는데 있어 시간축 분해능의 정도에 따라 측정 방법의 성능이 크게 좌우된다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 제한된 시간축 분해능에서 결함 위치 측정의 정확도를 향상시키기 위해 가우시안 형태를 갖는 입력 신호 및 반사 신호와의 상호 상관관계 함수를 사용한다. 한편, 실제 도선에 적용하여 기존의 TDR 방법과 측정 성능을 비교 분석함으로써 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법의 우수성을 검증한다.

Many new radar techniques have appeared on the electronic scene in recent years, such as a variety of automatic computer processing. However, even with the advent of these sophisticated radar techniques, an old problem continues to plague all radars: the problem of transmission line losses. With the higher performance required today, the Waveguide testing and trouble-shooting techniques remain essentially unchanged in principle. This paper dealt with the rf pulse "Time-domain Reflectometry" to inspect radar wave-guide system and compared with the conventional methods. During the investigation, it was verified that the pulsed TDR for wave-guide is superior to the conventional methods; 1. Disassembling is not needed to locate the discontinity points and measure the reflections of trobled points. 2. The results of the data are more precise. 3. The condition of individual component is able to the photographed and recorded permanently. 4. Since rf pulse TDR is based on the well-known basic radar principle, such a test set requires the minimum of training to operate. With the level of transmission line problems, the prospect of increasing complexity of equipment, and no relief in sight, the benifits must be emphasizied to adopt such a testing procedure.procedure.

The unit quantity is an important factor influencing the durability, workability, and quality of concrete. Methods for measuring the unit quantity include a high frequency heating method, a unit volume mass method, a capacitance method, and a microwave method. However, these methods have disadvantages of poor measurement method, time required, and accuracy, and a relatively experimental method compensating for these disadvantages was used to measure the unit quantity using a high frequency main sensor (FDR) capable of simple and fast measurement. In addition, the unit quantity was evaluated by analyzing the measurement data through deep learning.

In this paper, the difference between the S-parameter and the characteristic impedance according to the structural change of the fine pitch coaxial socket was analyzed. A pitch of the probe pin was applied to 0.20mm, and ground pins of different conditions were placed on each of the five signal pins. Insertion loss and reflection loss were analyzed for the coaxial socket of normal structure and the two sockets of the proposed structure. In addition, the difference in characteristic impedance was analyzed using time domain reflectometry. Through the analysis, it was confirmed that the characteristic impedance was improved applying the new structures of the socket at the same pitch

STDR (sequence time domain reflectometry) to detect a cable fault using a pseudo noise sequence as a reference signal, and time correlation analysis between the reference signal and reflection signal is robust to noisy environments and can detect intermittent faults including open faults and short circuits. On the other hand, if the distance of the fault location is far away or the fault type is a soft fault, attenuation of the reflected signal becomes larger; hence the correlation coefficient in the STDR becomes smaller, which makes fault detection difficult and the measurement error larger. In addition, automation of the fault location by detection of phase and peak value becomes difficult. Therefore, to improve the cable fault detection of a conventional STDR, this paper proposes the algorithm in that the peak value of the correlation coefficient of the reference signal is detected, and a peak value of the correlation coefficient of the reflected signal is then detected after removing the reference signal. The performance of the proposed method was validated experimentally in low-voltage power cables. The performance evaluation showed that the proposed method can identify whether a fault occurred more accurately and can track the fault locations better than conventional STDR despite the signal attenuation. In addition, there was no error of an automatic fault type and its location by the detection of the phase and peak value through the elimination of the reference signal and normalization of the correlation coefficient.
