본 논문은 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)을 이용하여, 비유전율내에서 PD(Partial Discharge) 발생 시 부분방전 위치를 추적할 수 있는 한분야의 방법으로 비율전율간의 이동속도를 적용하여 PD위치를 쉽게 겁근할 수 있는 방법이다. 기존에는 절연유와 SF6 가스의 연결부에서 부분방전 발생 시 30cm/ns의 이동속도를 이용하여 위치를 추적함으로써 약 31% 오차가 발생하였다. 절연유내에서의 이동속도를 20cm/ns의 상수를 적용하여 현장에 적용결과 PD위치의 오차를 저감할 수 있었으며, PD발생 부분을 절연유와 SF6 가스구역으로 구분을 할 수가 있었으며, 이를 통하여 점검예산을 확보할 수 있는 계기가 되었다. 비유전율 상수를 이용한 이동속도를 산출하여 PD위치를 추적하는 방법을 활용하면, 기존의 PD발생위치 추적을 보다 용이하게 접근할 수 있는 방법이라 생각한다.

Experimental laboratory tests were carried out to assess the effect of fine content and salinity of soils on the measurement of TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry). In the test, using soil columm which was made by PVC pipe with the dimension of 25cm height and 20cm diameter, the salinity variation of soil was controlled by the solution which was dissolved NaCl to destilled water in the range of 0-40g.$L^-1$. The fine content of soil was controlled by kaolinite which was mixed with Jumunjin sand in the range of 0-50% to the total dry weight. The water contents of soil tested were measured with the conventional oven dry method beside TDR and compared the these values to figure out the extent of effect. As the results of tests, it was appeared that the water content measurement by TDR can be affected by the salinity level, fine contents, and the degree of saturation of the soil.

Obscured structural members are mostly under-evaluated during condition assessment due to lack of visual inspection capability. Insufficient information about the integrity of these structural members poses a significant risk for public safety. Time domain reflectometry (TDR) is a novel approach in structural health monitoring (SHM). Ordinary coaxial cables "as is" without a major modification are not suitable for SHM with TDR. The objective of this study is to propose a practical and cost-effective modification approach to commercially available coaxial cables in order to use them as a "cable sensor" for damage detection with the TDR equipment for obscured structural members. The experimental validation and assessment of the proposed modification approach was achieved by conducting 3-point bending tests of the model piles as a representative obscured structural member. It can be noted that the RG59/U-6 and RG6/U-4 cable sensors expose higher strain sensitivity in comparison with non-modified "as is" versions of the cables used. As a result, the cable sensors have the capability of sensing both the presence and the location of a structural damage with a maximum aberration of 3 cm. Furthermore, the crack development can be monitored by the RG59/U-6 cable sensor with a simple calibration.

This paper is to analyze the behaviors of tunnel support by TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry) sensor using electrical pulse. To analysis the behaviors of tunnel support, Copper tape as sensing materials was studied for on-site installation. Copper tape to the top of the glass tape, foam tape, and shielding the lower part was used electromagnetic shield sheet. For a high sensitivity to load and fill out the measurement noise emissions has been developed for the production of materials. This sensing material through the tunnel model tests for the change by surcharge load in TDR data were analyzed. Varing stiffness and support of conditions were determined the change of TDR data through PVC pipe tunnel section model tests. By comparing TDR data and finite element analysis, the behaviors of the tunnel support materials were analyzed qualitatively.

To investigate the characteristics of moisture content (MC), moisture distribution and starting point of drainage in a rockwool slab culture, time domain reflectometry (TDR) sensors were used in a drip irrigation system. MC values ($0{\sim}100%$) measured by TDR sensors in a slab were compared to those by loadcells. Seventy two seedlings of paprika (Capsicum annuum L.) were cultured for $5{\sim}6$ months in a green-house and the starting point of irrigation was determined by the average value of three TDR sensors which were inserted diagonally across the slabs under the plants. MCs as a standard for starting point of irrigation by TDR were determined with 40%, 50%, and 60%. Distribution of MCs in a slab measured with five TDR sensors equally spaced from two irrigation points were not much different when the MC in the slab increased from zero to saturation point. The saturated MCs in the slab were presented at $58{\sim}65%$ and the drain was started when the MC became around $50{\sim}55%$. At the saturated MC in the slab, TDR sensors presented 100% but the values from the loadcell showed 90% at the same time. However, measurement errors between two methods for MC remarkably decreased with a decrease in the MC in a slab. Especially when the MC was maintaining below 60%, the errors between TDR and loadcell methods for measuring MC in the rock-wool slab were less than 5%. There were no significant differences in number of fruits and fresh and dry weights of fruits when they were cultured under the different MC conditions with three irrigation regimes (40%, 50%, and 60%). These results indicated that the MC control by TDR sensors in a rock-wool based paprika culture can be suggested as a method to determine the starting point of irrigation for a soilless culture system.

In this study, dielectrical constant of the ground was measured using TDR method and correlated with water contents and density of ground. In order to evaluate the applicability as a cavity exploration, model experiments were carried out to analyze the effects of cavity size on the dielectrical constant. Test result indicated that dielectrical constant of the ground tended to linearly increase with the increase in water contents and density, which can be represented in a certain relational expression. Also, the dielectrical constant of ground varied sensitively with the cavity size of ground. The results conclude that the dielectrical constant, water contents and density of the ground proved to have a correlation among them, and the dielectrical constant is expected to be a basic data on cavity exploration.

오염원의 이송확산에 관한 많은 연구들이 수행되어 왔으나 특히 비포화 영역에서 오염원 이송확산을 측정하는 것은 매우 어려운 것으로 알려지고 있다. 비포화 토양에서의 오염원 이송확산은 매질의 함수량 변화에 영향을 받기 때문에 오염원 거동특성을 이해하려면 비포화 흐름 분석을 선행한 후 오염원의 이송확산 특성을 분석하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 비포화 영역에서의 오염원 이송특성을 분석하기 위하여 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)을 이용하여 비포화 흐름 및 오염원 이송을 측정하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 TDR을 이용하여 오염원 이송을 측정하는 방법을 개발하였으며, 이 방법을 이용하여 1차원의 토양기둥시료에서 비포화 흐름 및 오염원 이송확산에 관한 실험을 수행하고 수치모형을 적용함으로써 비포화 영역에서 오염원의 이송확산에 관한 거동특성을 규명하였다. 본 연구에서는 두 종류의 국내 토양시료(SUS, KUS)를 사용하였는데, 토양의 물리적 특성을 예비실험을 통하여 규명한 후 토양기둥시료를 이용한 본실험을 수행하였다. 비포화 천이흐름하의 오염원 이송확산 실험에서는 급격한 습윤전선의 전진에 따른 종형의 함수량변화를 관측할 수 있었고, 이때 오염원의 농도는 함수량의 천이구간의 중심점으로부터 전방영역의 농도분포가 습윤전선에서의 함수량 분포와 유사한 종형을 이루고 있음을 관측할 수 있었다. 비포화 정상흐름하의 오염원 이송확산 실험에서는 오염원이 이송하며 농도 천이구간이 확장되어지는 전형적인 형태를 보였다. 또한 예비실험에서 측정한 매개변수를 입력자료로하여 수행한 수치결과와 실험결과를 비교하였는데 비포화 흐름특성은 실험결과와 수치결과가 정량적으로 일치하는 경향을 보였으나, 오염원 이송확산 특성은 정량적으로 수치결과가 실험결과보다 더 많이 확산되는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 수치모형을 현장에 적용할 경우 확산지수 결정에 주의하여야 할 것으로 판단된다. 즉, 수치모형에 적용할 확산지수는 BTC 실험을 통하여 측정한 확산지수, 수치확산, 흡착계수, 적용영역의 크기 등을 고려하여 결정하여야 한다. 특히 본 논문에서는 TDR을 이용하여 최초로 천이상태의 함수량과 오염원 농도를 측정하였는데 이를 위하여 전기전도도와 함수량관계를 추정하는 식을 제안하였으며, 전기전도도와 토양수 농도, 전기전도도와 함수량의 관계를 이용한 천이상태의 오염원 농도 측정방법을 개발하였다. 특히 제안식에서는 한계함수량의 개념을 도입하여 전기전도도와 함수량관계를 추정하므로 추정식의 실험값 반영 정도를 증가시켰다. 본 연구에서 제안된 식을 이용하여 추정된 전기전도도와 함수량관계는 다른 제안식에 비하여 개선된 결과를 보여 주었고, 본 연구에서 개발한 오염원 농도 측정법을 이용하여 측정한 결과 함수량이 0.15이하에서는 측정오차가 크지만 함수량이 0.15이상일 경우 매우 좋은 결과를 보였는데 질량평형을 검토한 결과 약 5-10%의 오차율을 보였다. 따라서 본 논문에서 개발된 천이상태의 오염원 농도측정법은 용존 오염물질의 이송에 관한 정확한 실험을 제공할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was to verify and calibrate seven kinds of soil water sensors for volumetric soil water content(VSWC) measurement under field. Types of sensors were TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) and FDR(Frequency Domain Reflectometry). Two kinds of TDR were TRIME(profile type), and Mini-TRASE(rod type). Five kinds of FDR were EasyAG, EnviroSCAN, PR-1(profile type), and WET-1(rod type). VSWC by TRIME and Mini-TRASE compared with VSWC by soil core showed the standard error of about 2.4%, and 1.4% which is the smallest value among all the sensors used in the experiment, respectively. The errors of EasyAG and EnviroSCAN analyzed with scaled frequency(SF) were about 2.6%, and 2.8% and those by 1 versus 1 correspondence were about 2.6%, and 2.6%, respectively. WET-1 showed about 2.0% of error, which is the smallest value among errors by FDR sensors. PR-1 with the error of about 4.7% should be hard for application in field. Therefore, users on soil water sensors have to take into consideration the errors of sensors revealed after the calibration for the correct measurement of VSWC in field. The rest except for PR-1 among the sensors could be used for VSWC measurement with 1.4~2.6% error.

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.
