Shaped Sound Focusing is defined as the generation of acoustically bright shape in space using multiple sources. The acoustically bright shape is a spatially focused region with relatively high acoustic potential energy level. In view of the energy transfer, acoustical focusing is essential because acoustic energy is very small to use other type of energy. Practically, focused sound shape control not a point is meaningful because there are so many needs to enlarge the focal region especially in clinical uses and others. If focused sound shape can be controlled, it offers various kinds of solutions for clinical uses and others because a regional focusing is essentially needed to reduce a treatment time and enhance the performance of transducers. For making the shaped-sound field, control variables, such as a number of sources, excitation frequency, source positioning, etc., should be taken according to geometrical sound shape. To verify these relations between them, wavenumber domain matching method is suggested because wavenumber spectrum can provide the information of control variables of sources. In this paper, the procedures of shaped sound focusing using wavenumber domain matching and relations between control variables and geometrical sound shape are covered in case of an acoustical ring.

SAR는 1987년 미국의 인공위성 Seasat에 의해 사용된 이후 현재 그 활용의 중요성이 점차 증대하고 있는 원격탐사 방법 중 하나이다. SAR는 특수 신호처리를 통하여 실제 안테나의 길이보다 매우 큰 안테나를 사용하는 합성효과를 이용하여 고해상도를 얻는다. 따라서 안테나 자 체의 개발뿐만 아니라 신호처리 기술의 개발이 SAR기술의 중요한 부분을 차지한다. 따라서 실제 신호처리에 관계자 뿐만아니라 SAR영상자료를 해석하여 이용하고자하는 사용자들도 SAR 신호 처리에 대한 이해가 필요시된다. 비록 rangd-Droppler domain을 이용하는 전통적인 SAR신호처 리 방법이 많이 사용되고 있으나 range migration과 azimuch compression에서 여러 문제점을 갖 고 있다. 최근 개발되고 있는 wavenumber domain을 이용한 방법은 좀더 나은 SAR 영상복원을 성취할 수 있는 기반을 마련해 준다. Born(first) 근사법을 이용하여 얻은 새로운 wavenumber domain을 이용한 알고리즘과 비교해볼 때 전통적인 방법의 transfer function은 새로운 방법의 일 차항까지만으로 이뤄진 근사값이다. 새로운 알고리즘을 이용한 모의실험 및 항공기 c-band SAR 로 얻어진 실제 데이터에 적용결과 그 우수성이 판명되었다.

Sound focusing technologies has been studied for various purposes from early 1990s. As a result, these technologies make us possible to apply in many uses. For example, we can treat tumors using focused ultrasonic waves without surgical knife and communicate in the ocean using time reversal array. Also applications for personal audio system become issues. Recently, as technologies are developing, in some applications, needs for regional focusing become increasing because previously suggested focusing methods, such as phase conjugation, time reversal and inverse filtering, were all about a point focusing. Therefore, studies on regional focusing method are essentially needed. Regional focusing method was firstly mentioned by Choi and Kim in 2002: acoustic contrast control. However, in regional focusing, physical interpretations between control variables and results are still not easy because of its complexity. In this regard, we tried to understand the relations between control variables and results in wavenumber domain and suggested a solution method for regional focusing: wavenumber spectrum matching. We also showed how to make spatially focused sound shape using the suggested method from the simplest case: line focusing.

In the wavenumber domain, each point on a radiation sphere indicates a plane wave of the frequency corresponding to radius of the sphere and the position on the sphere shows propagating direction of the plane wave. This concept is extended from the research by Choi[1] where he focus acoustic potential energy at a point on a radiation sphere. Here we propose the method to focus the energy at a point on the radiation sphere, as a result, we can easily generate a plane wave which propagates to any direction that we want.

Spatial control of sound is essential to deliver better sound to the listener's position in space. As it can be experienced in many listening environments, the quality of sound can not be manifested over every position in a hall. This motivates us to control sound in a region we select. The primary focus of the developed method has to do with the brightness and contrast of acoustic image in space. In particular, the acoustic brightness control seeks a way to increase loudness of sound over a chosen area, and the contrast control aims to enhance loudness difference between two neighboring regions. This enables us to make two different kinds of zone - the zone of quiet and the zone of loud sound - at the same time. The other perspective of this study is on the direction of sound. It is shown that we can control the direction of perceived sound source by focusing acoustic energy in wavenumber domain. To begin with, the proposed approaches are formulated for pure-tone case. Then the control methods are extended to a more general case, where the excitation signal has broadband spectrum. In order to control the broadband signal in time domain, an inverse filter design problem is defined and solved in frequency domain. Numerical and experimental results obtained in various conditions certainly validate that the acoustic brightness, acoustic contrast, direction of wave front can be manipulated for some finite region in space and time.

본 논문에서는 바이스태틱-모노스태틱 변환을 이용하여 바이스태틱 개구합성 레이다 영상화를 위한 ${\omega}$-K(omega-K) 알고리즘에 대해 기술하였다. 고려된 바이스태틱 개구합성 레이다는 1개의 정지된 송신 안테나와 여러 개의 수신 안테나로 구성된 물리적 배열 구조로 구성되어 있다. 수신 안테나의 물리적 배열 구조의 길이는 SAR 시스템의 개구합성 길이와 동일하다. 모노스태틱 구조와 다르게 바이스태틱 구조에서 ${\omega}$-K(omega-K) 알고리즘은 2차원 파수 영역에서 정확한 수학적 해를 얻을 수 없다. 제안된 영상화 기법의 핵심은 바이스태틱 구조의 데이터를 모노스태틱 구조의 데이터로 변환하는 것이다. 시뮬레이션과 실제 측정된 데이터를 이용하여 제안된 영상화 기법이 효과적임을 보여준다.
