In this study, the changes in transmitting and receiving characteristics, especially resonance frequencies, of the underwater acoustic planar array transducer by the transformers used in the analog weighting circuit are investigated. Electrical equivalent circuit analysis shows that an ideal transformer does not change the resonance frequency of the transmitting mode, but the resonance frequency which gives the maximum receiving sensitivity can be designed by adjusting the magnitude of reactance of transformer.

본 연구는 CDMA2000 시스템에 있어서의 액세스 프로브 알고리즘을 최적화하고자 한다. 이동국이 액세스 채널을 통하여 송신하고 기지국으로부터 ACK 메시지를 받지 못 할 경우 수신신호가 양호한 지역에서는 PWR_STEP 증분값이 1dEm±0.2 값으로 NUM_STEP만큼 증분하여 액세스 프로브를 하게 된다. 그러나 수신신호가 약한 지역에서는 개방루프 전력제어 알고리즘에 따라 송신부 전력 증폭기가 포화상태에 이르게 되어 PWR_STEP 증분값이 0dBm± 0.2값으로 계속해서 액세스 프로브를 하게 되어 이동국 송신에 따른 간섭현상과 배터리 소비전력이 증가하게 된다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위하여 우리는 수신신호가 강한 지역에서는 IS-95C규격과 같이 RT 슬롯 값만큼 그리고 수신신호가 미약한 지역에서는 RT+1 슬롯 값만큼 지연하여 액세스 프로브 전력 증분값으로 송신하도록 하여 수신세기에 따라 액세스 프로브 알고리즘을 최적화하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과로부터 제안된 알고리즘이 이동국 송신전력에 따른 간섭현상과 소모 전력을 감소시키고 이로 인해 단말기의 총 통화시간을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A broad-band underwater acoustic transducer that uses thickness vibration mode, derived from a disk type piezoelectric ceramic, has been proposed and designed for DVL (Doppler Velocity Log). Three different types of acoustic transducer were evaluated with respect to the transmitting voltage response, receiving voltage sensitivity and bandwidth of the transducer. The effect of the acoustic impedance matching layer and backing layer is discussed. The results demonstrated that three matching layer with lossy backing layer is the best configuration for underwater transducer. The trial underwater acoustic transducer with three matching layer has a frequency bandwidth of 55%, maximum transmitting voltage response of 200 dB and a maximum receiving voltage sensitivity of -187.3 dB.

An improved split-beam transducer for a 50 kHz fish-sizing echo sounder was developed. The main objective of this study was to minimize the side lobe level in the beam pattern and the distance between acoustic centers for adjacent transducer quadrants in the geometrical arrangement of array elements while maintaining a given number of transducer elements and beam width. To achieve these goals, a 32-element planar array transducer ($6{\times}6$ array with one element in each corner missing) was designed using the Dolph-Chebyshev shading function to suppress side lobes in the array beam pattern and fabricated by arranging the inter-element spacing to be substantially equal to half the wavelength using the transducer element of 0.4 times the wavelength in diameter. The performance characteristics of this split-beam transducer were evaluated in the experimental water tank of $5m{\times}5m{\times}6m$ (length${\times}$height${\times}$width). In this study, the design goal of the beam width and side lobe level for transmitting a beam pattern was initially set at $21^{\circ}$ and -30 dB, respectively. However, the measured beam width at 3 dB was $21^{\circ}$ in both directions with side lobe levels of -24.7 dB in the horizontal plane and -25.6 dB in the vertical plane. The averaged beam width at -3 dB of the receiving beam patterns for four receiving quadrants was $31.4^{\circ}$. The transmitting voltage response was 161.5 dB (re $1{\mu}Pa$/V at 1 m) at 50.23 kHz with a bandwidth of 2.16 kHz, and the averaged receiving sensitivity for four receiving quadrants was -178.13 dB (re 1 V/${\mu}Pa$) at 49.8 kHz with a bandwidth of 2.64 kHz.

In this study, the piezoelectric ceramics/polymer composite transducers with 1-3 connectivity have been studied. A piezoelectric ceramics PZT prepared by Wet-Dry Combination method was used as a filler in polymer matrix Eccogel. We've got the pulse-echo response for 1-3 type piezc-electric composite transducers in water. It was shown that the transmitting and receiving sensitivity of 1-3 type piezoelectric composite transducers could be improved in comparison with that- of solid PZT transducers. The reason is for that 1-3 type Piezoelectric composites have low dielectric constant and density. There was in a good agreement between the resonant frequencies calculated from one period and observed results on the Ultrasonic Transducer Analyzer. According to these results we could be figured out the distance in water by virture of the pulse-echo response.

The optimal structure of 1-3 piezocomposites has been determined by controlling polymer properties, ceramic volume fraction, thickness of composite and aspect ratio of the composite to maximize the TVR (transmitting voltage response), RVS (receiving voltage sensitivity) and FBW (fractional bandwidth) of underwater acoustic transducers. Influence of the design variables on the transducer performance was analyzed with equivalent circuits and the finite element method. When the piezocomposite is vibrating in a pure thickness mode, inter-pillar resonant modes are likely to occur between lattice-structured piezoceramic pillars and polymer matrix, which significantly deteriorate the performance of the piezocomposite. In this work, a new method to design the structure of the 1~3 type piezocomposite was proposed to maximize the TVR, RVS and FBW while preventing the occurrence of the inter-pillar modes. Genetic algorithm was used in the optimal design.

자왜방식 원거리 초음파검사의 최적화된 개별 응용들을 위해, 분리되어 적층된 송수신 나선형 코일 배열들이 사용되어 왔었다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 비해 반으로 줄어든 다리 폭을 갖는 나선형 코일들과 이 다리 폭 감소에 기인한 빈 공간들을 활용할 때, 보다 쉬운 사용과 제조를 허용하는 단층 구조를 형성하도록 송수신 코일들이 배열될 수 있다는 것을 실증하였다. 다리 폭에 비례하는 수신코일의 감은 수 때문에 단층 코일 배열의 감도는 대응되는 이층 코일 배열의 그것의 반 정도이었지만 이는 메인-뱅(main bang) 에코로 인한 포화로부터 수신증폭기의 보다 빠른 회복을 허용하였다. 또한 지향성 조종과 SNR(signal-to-noise ratio)의 관점에서는 이 두 종류의 코일 배열들이 거의 같은 성능을 갖는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The objective of this study was to design and develop a broadband ultrasonic transducer that has both wide bandwidth and high sensitivity to measure broadband echoes related to identifying fish species. A broadband ultrasonic transducer providing a nearly flat transmitting response band of 40.2-75.5 kHz with a -12 dB bandwidth of 35.3 kHz was achieved by integrating 12 tonpilz transducer elements operating at different resonance frequencies. The average transmitting voltage response, receiving sensitivity, and figure of merit values in this frequency band were 168.4 dB (re $1{\mu}Pa/V$ at 1 m), -196.8 dB (re $1V/{\mu}Pa$), and -28.4 dB, respectively. The results suggest that bandwidth and sensitivity can be widened and improved by adjusting the array pattern and the structure of tonpilz transducer elements.

Proximity magnetic sensor is able to detect the object target accurately in close range and it has been widely used in the underwater guided weapon system because there is no countermeasures from the target. In order to increase the damage of target by shock wave due to explosion of the underwater guided weapon system, the maximum detection range of the proximity magnetic sensor needs to be increased. In this paper, we describe the techniques of the optimum transmitting and receiving coils design using the Finite Element Method for the output power enhancement of the transmitter and the sensitivity improvement of the receiver. Finally, the proposed design techniques of the transmitter and the receiver were verified using a experimental setup and a prototype.

Non-contact technique should be developed for receiving ultrasonic wave for on-line monitoring of processing defects of fiber reinforced composites, since couplant must be applied on composite materials when conventional ultrasonic testing technique was used. Restriction of conventional ultrasonic testing technique was proven by transmitting and receiving ultrasonic wave on CFRP in various direction of wave propagation with various incident angle of ultrasonic beam. Air-coupled transducer and laser interferometer were applied for non-contacting reception of ultrasonic wave in fiber reinforced composite materials. Air-coupled transducer has optimal sensitivity and frequency band of 300kHz has homogeneous characteristics on direction of wave propagation.
