77 GHz frequency modulation continuous wave radar를 이용한 W-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 고해상도의 W-band SAR 영상을 복원하기 위해서는 스테레오 카메라 또는 라이다(LiDAR)에서 획득한 point cloud를 6 degrees of freedom (DOF)의 방향에서 변환하여 SAR 영상 신호처리에 적용하는 것이 필요하다. 하지만 서로 다른 센서로부터 획득한 영상의 기하구조가 달라 정합하는데 어려움을 가진다. 본 연구에서 SAR 영상의 엔트로피(entropy)에 따른 경사 하강법을 이용하여 point cloud의 6 DOF를 구하고 최적의 depth map을 추출하는 기법을 제시한다. 구축한 W-band SAR system으로 주요 도로 환경 객체인 나무를 복원하는 실험을 수행하였다. 엔트로피에 따른 경사 하강법을 이용하여 복원한 SAR 영상이 기존의 레이더 좌표에서 복원한 SAR 영상보다 mean square error는 53.2828 감소했고, structural similarity index는 0.5529 증가한 것을 보였다.

한국전파법에서 휴대전화에만 적용되었던 전자파흡수율(SAR: Specific Absorption Rate) 측정 대상기기가 2012년 1월 이후 인체로부터 20 cm 이내에 위치하는 휴대용 송신 무선통신기기로 확대됨에 따라 150 MHz 대역의 무전기가 포함되어 이에 대한 SAR 적합성 평가를 위한 SAR 측정방법이 필요하다. 그러나 현재 SAR 측정방법에 대한 국제표준(IEC 62209-2)에서는 300 MHz 대역 이상의 주파수에 대해서 적용하고 있으며, 상용 SAR 측정시스템에서도 300 MHz 대역 이상의 주파수에 대해서만 측정이 가능하도록 되어 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 150 MHz 대역의 SAR 측정 유효성 평가를 위한 기준 다이폴 안테나(복사체 길이: 760 mm, 반사 손실 : -25.48 dB) 및 평면형 모의인체의 크기($1,300 mm(L){\times}900 mm(W){\times}200 mm(H)$), 수치해석 SAR 목표값(1 g: 1.08 W/kg, 10 g: 0.77 W/kg)을 제시하였다. 제시된 기준 다이폴 안테나 및 평면형 모의인체를 제작하여 상용 SAR 측정시스템의 적합성 여부를 확인하였다. 측정된 1 g 및 10 g SAR 값은 각각 1.13 W/kg, 0.81 W/kg으로, IEC 국제 표준의 유효 범위인 ${\pm}10$ % 이내를 만족하였다. 본 연구를 통해 도출된 규격들은 국내 SAR 측정방법 및 IEC 국제 표준으로 반영될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Differential interferometric phases from JERS-1 L­band data sets show spatial variation of path-length ranging from a few mm to several cm. The variation may be caused by changes in soil moisture contents, i.e. variation of penetration depth and the swelling of soils. Although the amount of total effect caused by soil moisture is not measurable, it is clear that the soil moisture according to precipitation is another factor to be considered in DInSAR analysis. We also discuss DInSAR characteristics in a rice paddy according to irrigation conditions, and discrimination of hydrological features such as stream channels and watershed boundaries by applying DInSAR technique.

This paper investigated and evaluated the NASA's Shuttle Imaging Radar-C (SIR-C) multiple frequency SAR data for differential backscattering effects of microwave from the surface geological materials overlying the skarn type mineralization. Although an integrated approach in mineral exploration is more cost effective and is well in use, there are still many technical and scientific issues to be further investigated and researched. In this study we have reprocessed several sets of previously surveyed exploration data and experimented with fuzzy logic digital fusion of the preprocessed data with respect to chosen exploration targets. Among the numerous fuzzy logic operators, which are currently available for a data driven integrated exploration strategy, we used varying combinations of fuzzy MIN, fuzzy MAX, and fuzzy SUM operators along with Gamma operator for fusion of exploration data, including the contact metamorphic zone information. The final exploration target tested was a skarn type W-Mo-F mineralization in the study area. The fuzzy logic derived mineral potential anomaly almost exactly matched the differential backscattering anomalies on the C-band and L-band SIR_C data when overlaid on each other. Although this high degree of correlation between these two data sets is remarkable, the differential backscattering anomaly over the skarn type W-Mo-F mineralization in the study area requires further investigation.

In this paper, an implantable planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) for an artificial cardiac pacemaker is proposed. The antenna has a simple structure with a low profile and is placed on the top side of the pacemaker. The dimensions of the pacemaker system, including the antenna element, are $42{\times}43.6{\times}11$ mm. When the antenna is embedded in pig tissue, its $S_{11}$ value is -10.94 dB at 403 MHz and the -10 dB impedance bandwidth of the antenna is 6 MHz (399~406 MHz). The proposed PIFA in tissue has a peak gain of -20.19 dBi and a radiation efficiency of 1.12 % at 403 MHz. When the proposed antenna is placed in a flat phantom, its specific absorption ratio (SAR) value is 0.038 W/kg (1 g tissue). Performances of the proposed PIFA is sufficient to operate at the MICS band (402 ~ 405 MHz).

We investigated the effects of 835-MHz electromagnetic field (EMF), one of the most popular communication frequency band in Korean code-division multiple-access (CDMA) mobile phone system, on cellular signal transduction. For this, we examined the change of intracellular calcium $([Ca^{2+}]_i)$, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and F-actin polymerization after exposure to 835-MHz EMF followed by the treatment of agonists in Rat-2 fibroblast cells. Culture cells were pretreated with serum-tree medium and concomitantly exposed to 835-MHz at specific absorption rate (SAR) of 4.0 W/kg for 24 hr in a specialized designed apparatus based on Transverse Electro Magnetics (TEM) wave theory. Intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ responses to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in Rat-2 fibroblast after exposure to 835-MHz EMF were shown to be similar pattern as observed in normal cultured cells. However, the LPA-induced calcium spiking was slightly delayed to 7 sec and sustained thereafter to a little higher ground level under 835-MHz EMF radiation compared to unexposed cells. ROS production level by LPA in the exposed cells was not different from that in control. Furthermore, LPA induced the production of stress fibers with no significant difference in the exposed and unexposed cells. These results suggest that mobile phone radiation (835-MHz, SAR 4.0 W/kg) may not be directly related to signal transduction in Rat-2 fibroblasts except the slight effect of calcium spiking in LPA-induced cells but remain to be further elucidated for possible indirect intervention.
