  • Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using communications, sensors, and navigation equipment will play a key role in future warfare. Currently, UAVs are monitored to prevent misfire and accidents, and the conventional method adopted uses wires for data transmission and power supply. The repeated connection and disconnection of cables increases maintenance time and harms the connector. For convenience and stability, a wireless power transfer system to power UAVs is needed. Unlike other wireless power transfer (WPT) applications, the size of the receiving coils must be small, so that the WPT systems can be embedded inside space-limited UAVs. The small size reduces the coupling coefficient and transfer efficiency between the transmitting and the receiving coils. In this study, we propose a toroidal-shaped coil for a WPT system for UAVs with high coupling coefficient with minimum space requirements. For validation, conventional coils and the proposed toroidal-shaped coil were used and their coupling coefficient and power transfer efficiency were compared using simulated and measured results. The simulated and measured results were strongly correlated, confirming that the proposed WPT system significantly improved efficiency with negligible change in the space requirement.

  • In this paper, we propose a low EMI data transmitter employing a delay-locked loop for vehicles. For the low EMI characteristic, the transmitter has been designed to have low slew rate and employs the delay-locked loop to correct the amount of change in the slew rate due to process variations. According to simulation results, the proposed transmitter which the delay-locked loop has smaller slew rate change as compared to the conventional transmitter. The proposed circuit has been designed with a 65nm process technology and the data rate is 20Mbps with a supply voltage of 1.1V. As compared to a conventional transmitter, the proposed transmitter shows that variations of the slew rate become 53.6% lower in a fast condition and 13.07% lower in a slow condition.

  • Path driving tests are necessary for the development of self-driving cars or robots. These tests are being conducted in simulation as well as real environments. In particular, for development using reinforcement learning and deep learning, development through simulators is also being carried out when data of various environments are needed. To this end, it is necessary to utilize not only manually designed paths but also various randomly and automatically designed paths. This test site design can be used for actual construction and manufacturing. In this paper, we introduce a method for randomly generating a driving test path consisting of a combination of arcs and segments. This consists of a method of determining whether there is a collision by obtaining the distance between an arc and a line segment, and an algorithm that deletes part of the path and recreates an appropriate path if it is impossible to continue the path.

  • The synthetic aperture rardar (SAR) is an active sensor using microwaves. It transmits a microwave signal, called a chirp pulse, and receives the reflected signal in a moving platform such as satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle. Since this sensor uses microwaves that can penetrate the atmosphere, SAR generates the images regardless of light and weather conditions. However SAR operates on the moving platform, the Doppler shift and the side-looking observation method should be considered. In addtion, a residual image or ghost image can be occurred according to selection of the pulse repetition frequency (PRF). In this paper, a range design of the PRF for the L-band spaceborne SAR system is studied for prevention of SAR image distortion. And the system is studied for prevention of SAR image distortion. And the system parameter and the PRF are calibrated iteratively according to the proposed system design procedure and design constraints. The MATLAB based on SAR system simulator has been developed to verify the validity of calculated PRF. The developed simulator assumes that SAR sensor is operated by the PRF calculated from the design. The results of the simulator show that the targets in image has a valid peak to side-lobe ratio (PSLR) so that the PRF can be used for the spaceborne SAR sensor.

  • In this paper, a novel resource scheduling, which is used for hub network based long distance airborne tactical communication, is proposed. Recently, some countries of the world has concentrated on developing data rate and networking performance of CDL, striving to keep pace with modern warfare, which is changed into NCW. And our government has also developed the next generation high capacity CDL. In hub network, a typical communication structure of CDL, hybrid FDMA/TDMA can be considered to exchange high rate data among multiple UAVs simultaneously, within limited bandwidth. However, due to different RTT and traffic size of UAV, idle time resource and unnecessary packet transmission delay can occur. And these losses can reduce entire efficiency of hub network in long distance communication. Therefore, in this paper, we propose RTT and data traffic size based UAV scheduling, which selects time/frequency resource of UAVs by using iterative sorting algorithm. The simulation results verified that the proposed scheme improves data rate and packet delay performance in low complexity.
