In this study, the effect of the steering vector model mismatch due to array uncertainties on the performance of array processing was analyzed through simulation, along with the alleviation of the model mismatch effect depending on array calibration. To increase the reliability of the simulation results, the actual steering vector of the array antenna obtained by electromagnetic simulation was used along with the Jahn's channel model, which is an experimental channel model. Based on the analysis of the power spectrum for each direction, beam pattern, and the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio of the beamformer output, the performance deterioration of array processing due to array uncertainties was examined, and the performance improvement of array processing through array calibration was also examined.

This paper presents the replication of a desired vibration response by iterative learning control (ILC) system for a vibration motion replication actuator. The vibration motion replication actuator has parameter uncertainties including system nonlinearity and joint nonlinearity. Vehicle manufacturers worldwide are increasingly relying on road simulation facilities that put simulated loads and stresses on vehicles and subassemblies in order to reduce development time. Road simulation algorithm is the key point of developing road simulation system. With the rapid progress of digital signal processing technology, more complex control algorithms including iterative learning control can be utilized. In this paper, ILC algorithm was utilized to produce simultaneously the six channels of desired responses using the Stewart platform composed of six linear electro-magnetic actuators with Halbach magnet array. The convergence rate and accuracy showed reasonable results to meet the requirement. It shows that the algorithm is acceptable to replicate multi-channel vibration responses.

In ultrasonic medical imaging, spatial compounding of images is a technique where ultrasonic beam is steered to examine patient tissues in multiple angles. In the conventional ultrasonic diagnostic imaging, the steering of the ultrasonic beam is achieved electronically using the phased array transducer elements. In this paper, a spatial compounding approach is presented where the ultrasonic probe element is rotated mechanically and the beam steering is achieved mechanically. In the spatial compounding, target position is computed using the value of the rotation axis and the transducer array angular position. However, in the process of the rotation mechanism construction and the control system there arises the inevitable uncertainties in these values. These geometric parameter errors result in the target position error, and the consequence is a blurry compounded image. In order to reduce these target position errors, we present a spatial compounding scheme where error correcting transformation matrices are computed and applied to the raw images before spatial compounding to reduce the blurriness in the compounded image. The proposed scheme is illustrated using phantom and live scan images of human knee, and it is shown that the blurriness is effectively reduced.

레이다 신호처리를 포함하여 무선통신시스템의 성능향상을 위한 수신신호의 도래방향 추정기술 중 MUSIC과 ESPRIT와 같은 방법들은 수신신호 벡터로부터 얻어진 상관행렬의 고유치 분해론 통하여 도래방향을 정도 높게 추정할 수 있는 초고분해 알고리즘들로 잘 이용되어 왔다 그러나, 이러한 방법들은 계산적인 복잡성으로 인하여 실시간 처리에 장애가 되어 왔으며, 어레이 안테나의 물리적인 결함에 대한 보정을 요구한다. 이에 대한 해결방법으로서 신경망 모델을 이용한 도래방향 추정방법들이 연구되어 왔으나, 복수의 신호가 존재할 경우 신경망 모델에 대한 대규모 학습량을 요구하고, 실시간 처리가능성에 대한 명확한 해론 제공하지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 상호결합형 신경망 모델을 이용하여 도래방향을 추정하기 위한 방법을 제안하고, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 실시간 처리가능성을 논한다. 제안된 방법은 대규모 학습을 요구하지 않는다. 즉, 도래방향을 추정하기 전에 상호결합계수를 신경망에 할당할 뿐이다.

본 논문에서는 계통연계형 태양광 발전시스템의 태양전지 전류 추정을 위한 슬라이딩 모드 관측기 설계 방법이 제시되었다. 태양전지 전류 추정 정보는 슬라이딩 모드 관측기에서 얻어지고, 기준전압을 갱신하기 위한 최대전력 추적기의 입력정보로 사용되어 진다. 계통연계형 인버터의 입력 커패시턴스 값은 규정치의 50[$\%$] 정도까지 바뀔 수 있으며, 선형 관측기는 파라미터 변화나 외란이 존재하는 조건에서는 정확한 상태값을 추정할 수 없다. 슬라이딩 모드 관측기의 구조는 간단하지만, 파라미터 변화나 외란에서도 슬라이딩 모드 관측기는 강인한 추종능력을 보여주고 있다. 본 논문에서는 등가 입력조건을 이용한 슬라이딩 모드 관측기를 설계하는 방법이 제시되고, 제시된 관측기의 수렴조건에 대해 서술하였다. 수학적인 모델링과 실험결과로서 제안한 방법의 타당성을 입증하였다.

In the proto design stage of a new car, the performances of an occupant protection system can be evaluated by CAE even though the real test should be carried out. The number of the real test is reduced by the exact predictions followed by the appropriate design recommendation. However, the existing researches using CAE in predicting the performances do not consider the uncertainties of parameters. That often leads to inconsistency between test and CAE. In this research, the robust design of a protection system such as airbag and load limiter is suggested considering the frontal crash. The parameter design scheme of the Taguchi method is introduced to obtain the robust design of arbitrary airbag and load limiter. It is performed based on the frontal crash test condition of US-NCAP with an arbitrary passenger car. The variances of the performances such as HIC, chest acceleration and probability of combined injury are calculated by the outer array and the Taylor series expansion. Through the analysis of the Taguchi method, the robust optimum is determined.

This paper presents a method to calculate the characteristic root areas and loci band of control systems with uncertainties. First, equations of boundary curves of root areas in the case of additive and multiplicative perturbation are derived. Then, an algorithm for the calculation of the array of closed curves is presented. When the upper bound of the absolute values of frequency responses for the uncertain part, is also frequency-dependent, the frequency-dependent, terms are included in the characteristic equation of the nominal system. This lead to the boundary equations of the root, areas for control systems with frequency-dependent uncertainty. Numerical examples of the control systems with multiplicative perturbations including frequency-dependent terms are presented to verify this calculation method. Finally, its applications to the design of robust control systems, e.g., passive adaptive control systems are also discussed.

In this paper, a time-delayed controller for position control of humanoid robot arms is designed and implemented on a field programmable gate array(FPGA) chip. The time-delayed control algorithm is simple to implement, and robust to reject disturbances. The time-delayed control method uses the one sample time-delayed previous information to cancel out uncertainties in the system. Since the sampling time is so fast with the current hardware technology, the time-delayed controller can be implemented. However, inertia values should be correctly estimated to have the better performance. The position tracking tasks of humanoid robot arms are tested to compare performances of several control algorithms including the time-delayed controller.

We have mapped the whole extent of a dark cloud Lynds 1251 in the emission of the J=1-0 transitions of $^{12}CO\;and\;^{13}CO$ using FCRAO's fifteen-beam array receiver in high angular resolution of 50'. We have derived physical parameters of L1251, discussed three different mass estimate techniques, and obtained a large range of mass, 600 to $6,000M_\bigodot$, depending on the techniques. The factor of 10 discrepancy between the virial and LTE masses is much larger than expected based on the uncertainties residing in two methods. The large virial mass may reflect the fact that L1251 is not gravitationally bound system as in the case of dark clouds in solar neighborhood. Two outflows are affecting the dynamics of cloud significantly but not enough to reshape the whole extent of the cloud. The small cloud, 'Stripe', which is apparently connected with main cloud, is not likely to be associated with L1251. The velocity gradient composed on this small cloud may be driven by other unknown sources. It is found that L1251 cloud itself is very quiescent except the two bipolar outflow regions.
