The TPMS(Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is an electronic system designed to display the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires and report real-time tire-pressure information to the driver of the vehicle, either via a gange, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. Although the data measured by TPMS sensor is transmitted to internal signal processer in a vehicle through wireless communication, the receiver may suffers from various interferences such as amateur radio station, RFID(Radio-Frequency IDentification) for controlling container, RKE(Remote Keyless Entry) signal, and so on. In this paper, we consider beamforming technology to suppress various high-power interference signals for the TPMS wireless communications. Also, we propose the proper data structure and antenna arrangement for the beamformer inside the vehicle. The performance for the interference suppression is illustrated by computer simulation example.

As the wireless power transfer (WPT) technology based on strongly resonance coupled method realizes large power charging without any wires through the air, there are advantages compared with the wired counterparts, such as convenient, safety and fearless transmission of power. From this reason, the WPT systems have started to be applied to the wireless charging for various power applications such as train, underwater ship, electric vehicle. This study aims for the effect and characteristics of different inserted resonance coil between Tx and Rx coils for charging system of superconducting magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) train. The transfer efficiency and effect are evaluated with helix type, rectangular type copper resonance coil, and HTS resonance coil under bulb and HTS magnet load, respectively. The input power is adapted with radio frequency (RF) power of 370 kHz below 500 W.

Lanekeeping assistance has the potential to save thousands of lives every year by preventing accidental road departure. This paper presents experimental validation of a potential field lanekeeping assistance system with quantitative performance guarantees. The lanekeeping system is implemented on a 1997 Corvette modified for steer-by-wire capability. With no mechanical connection between the hand wheel and road wheels the lanekeeping system can add steering inputs independently from the driver. Implementation of the lanekeeping system uses a novel combination of a multi-antenna Global Positioning System (GPS) and precision road maps. Preliminary experimental data shows that this control scheme performs extremely well for driver assistance and closely matches simulation results, verifying previous theoretical guarantees for safety. These results also motivate future work which will focus on interaction with the driver.

이동체 탑재형 안테나는 특성상 소형화 및 신호 추적 시간 단축이 중요한 요소이다. 이러한 특성은 위상변위기를 이용한 전자적인 빔 조향 방식으로 한층 더 보완할 수 있다. 현재 이동체에서 주로 사용되고 있는 DBS (Direct Broadcasting Satellite) 수신용 안테나는 패치 및 슬롯 형태의 안테나 소자를 배열하여 사용한다. 하지만 이러한 안테나 소자는 전방위각에 대해 인공위성 방향(앙각 45도)에서 이득 손실이 있기 때문에 위상변위기를 이용한 빔 조향 방식에서 사용하기에는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 모든 방위각에 대해 앙각 45도에서 최대 이득 특성을 갖는 안테나 소자를 이용해 이득 손실을 줄이는 것은 큰 의미가 있다. 본 논문에서는 monopole 주변에 PBG(Photonic Band Gap) 구조를 구현함으로써 표면파를 억제하여 앙각 45도 방향에서 최대 이득 특성을 보이는 안테나 소자를 제안한다.

UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)에 위치 추적 및 비행 데이터에 의한 항로추정기법에 대한 연구 중 비행영상과 데이터를 무지향성안테나와 지향성안테나 두 가지로 수신을 받았다. 그러나 국내 전파법상 제한된 출력 때문에 송수신 거리의 영향을 받아 지향성안테나를 사용할 수밖에 없었다. 지향성안테나의 단점은 전 범위가 아니라 일정범위에서만 송수신이 가능하다. 본 논문은 지향성안테나의 단점인 일정범위가 아닌 안테나를 움직임으로써 전범위에서 송수신이 가능하도록 하는 안테나 방향 제어를 연구한 내용과 움직이는 물체로부터 좌표데이타, 고도, 삼축가속도 센서를 수신하여, 이 데이터로 적용하여 자세 및 이동경로를 산출하여 안테나가 최적의 움직임을 가질 수 있도록 연구한 내용을 기술하였다.

In this paper, observability properties of a multiantenna GPS measurement system for the estimation of errors in INS are presented. It is shown that time-invariant INS error models are observable with measurements from at least three GPS antennas on the vehicle. There is at least one unobservable mode with two antennas. There are three unobservable modes with one antenna. It is also shown that time-varying INS error models are instantaneously observable with measurements from three GPS antennas. A numerical simulation results are given to verify the effectiveness of the multiantenna measurement system on the INS error estimation. In the simulation, a GPS measurement system is considered in which a trade-off between computational load and accuracy of estimation is achieved.

With precise GPS carrier positioning result, we can get attitude information if GPS antenna has adequate attaching position on the vehicle. In this case, baseline length information can be bandied as an additional measurement or constraint. In this paper, we have proposed a method to improve the attitude accuracy. To overcome nonlinearity of baseline observation model, we analyze attitude estimation result using existing estimation method like a least square method and Kalman filter, and apply a new nonlinear estimation method an unscented Kalman filter Finally we confirm the improvement of attitude estimation result in the case of appling the unscented Kalman filter.

Position and trajectory data in-flight rocket are important informations to determine flight safety of rocket. In general tracking system, radar and transponder are used to acquire position information. Rocket position and trajectory can be determined by RF communication between ground station and in-flight rocket, and antenna position date. In this paper, it explains the ranging system which is low resolution rather than radar system but system configuration is simple. Therefore this system is useful for experimental flight vehicle.
