In this paper, the performance of OFDM/64QAM systems under Rummler model based cable channel is evaluated through computer simulation, and then the degree of performance improvement is estimated when adopting adaptive LMS equalizer. From the performance evaluation results, in the Rummler two-ray channel model, it is known that the performance improvement degree by adopting equalizer is greatly increased in case of attenuation coefficient of reflected ray (b) being less than 0.15, but when attenuation coeffcient (b) is larger than 0.15, the performance improvement degree by adopting equalizer shows little changes in almost all range of Eb/No.

적조원격탐사의 기초연구로서 적조생물의 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. 연구에 사용된 적조생물 종은 와편모조류에 속하는 종으로 Scrippsiella trochoidea이다. 광학적 특성 조사를 위해 순수 배양된 생물종을 미세조류은행(KMCC)에서 구입하여 배양하였다. 배양된 샘플로 chlorophyll 농도, 홉광계수(absorption coefficient, a), 소산계수 (attenuation coefficient, c), 역산란계수(backscattering coefficient, $b_b$), 입자크기분포(size distribution, Fd)를 측정하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 2000년 적조 생물종 원격탐사 기술개발 보고서의 결과와 비교해 보았으며, 홉광계수 측정방법에 있어서 filter technique과 부유상태에서 측정한 결과를 비교하였다. 홉광계수에 있어서 기존연구와 본연구의 결과는 매우 유사한 홉광 스펙트럼올 나타내었으며，filter technique와 부유상태에서 측정한 홉광도는 filter technique를 이용한 것이 높은 값을 나타내었다. 이는 multiple absorption, 즉 ${\beta}-effect$에의한 것으로 보인다. 역산란 스펙트럼은 노이즈가 많이 나타났는데 이것은 농도가 충분하지 않아서 나타난 것으로 추정된다. 적조생물의 고유광특성이 해색에 영향을 미칠것이라고 보고 이들 결과는 해색을 재현하기 위한 해색모텔의 입력변수로 활용될 수 있다.

This work synthesized four glass samples with a fixed ratio of PbO to Na₂O and a variable ratio of BaO to B₂O₃. The linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) (μ, cm^-1) and additional attenuator parameters were determined experimentally using a semiconductor detector and different gamma sources. The comparison was carried out between the experimental and the XCOM calculated results, with good agreement emerging between the two results. The impacts of the BaO substituting for the B₂O₃ on fabricated PNBB glasses' radiation shielding properties were discussed. By increasing the BaO substitution concentration between 10 and 25 mol.%, the LAC μ values (cm^-1) increased by 76.60 %, 13.81 %, 12.56 %, and 12.52 % for the respective γ-ray energies of 0.059, 0.662, 1.173, and 1.332 MeV. The μ value reduction with raised gamma energy values increased the values of the calculated half-value thickness (Δ_0.5) as a result of the μ and Δ_0.5 values' reverse proportionality. Other shielding parameters such as the lead equivalent thickness (Δ_eq) and radiation protection efficiency were also determined for the present PNBB glass samples.

Similar friction welding were produced using 15 mm diameter solid bar in Ni-base superalloy(alloy718) to investigate their mechanical properties. The main friction welding parameters were selected to endure good quality welds on the basis of visual examination, tensile tests, AE total counts and ultrasonic attenuation coefficient. The specimens were tested as welded, not heat-treated. The tensile strength of the friction welded joints was increased up to 90% of the alloy718 base metal under the condition of all heating time. Optimal welding conditions were n=2,000 (rpm), $P_1=200$ (MFa), $P_2=200$ (MFa), $t_1=8$ (s), $t_2=5$ (s) when the total upset length is 4.4(mm). The weld interface of similar friction welded steel bars was mixed strongly.

The study investigates the dose-dependent direct X-ray sensing characteristics of Brucinium benzilate (BB) and N-acetylglycine (NAG) organic crystals. BB and NAG were prepared as a slurry and deposited as a thick film on a patterned metal electrode. The X-ray induced photocurrent response was examined for various exposure doses using an intraoral pulsed 70 keV X-ray machine connected to a source meter. Subsequently, the morphological properties and thickness of the thick films were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). At a photon energy of 70 keV, the attenuation coefficient values for NAG and BB crystals were determined to be approximately 0.181 and 0.178 cm²/g, respectively. The X-ray stopping power of the crystals was measured using a suniray-2 X-ray imaging system. To evaluate the responsiveness of the sensors, the photocurrent sensitivity and noise equivalent dose rate (NED) were calculated for both thick films. The findings demonstrated a noteworthy capability of sensing low doses (mGy), thereby suggesting the potential application of these organic materials in X-ray sensor development.

Laser emission, a part of electromagnetic wave, has short propagation length in water, and the underwater applications of laser are limited. The acquisition of underwater imaging is possible only by using a blue-green laser since the blue-green range has relatively small absorption coefficient in water. We introduce the conditions of the laser required for underwater imaging and the attenuation characteristics of a blue-green laser used in water.

Aluminum anodization method has been investigated for fabricating charge coupled device(CCD) with two-level aluminum gate structure. Al2O3 films were formed to a thickness of 400-500A, by anodizing aluminum with 30-35V of anode voltage for 2 hours using 2 % ammonium tartrate solution as an electrolyte. Breakdown voltage of these films were about 30 volts. Using above mentioned Al2O3 film as an insulator between two aluminum electrodes, CCD transversal low pass filter has been fabricated. CCD transversal low pass filter with 17 tap coefficients has shown 22 dB stop-band attenuation. The operating clock frequency range of the fabricated device was from 3 KHz to 100 KHz.

Experimental investigations on gamma - rays attenuation parameters and dielectric spectroscopic properties were done on a polymeric mixture with chemical composition (100-x) polyethylene + x basalt, where x = 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, and 20 wt%. Using the melting blending technique,six nanocomposite polymeric samples were prepared. The linear attenuation coefficient µ of each prepared set of samples was measured using a gamma-ray spectrometer including High Purity Germanium detector (HPGe) at energies 662.5, 1173.24, and 1332.51 keV. Based on the measured values of (µ) and sample density, the other effective shielding parameters were calculated. The values of µ showed an increase with increasing the dopant ratios from 0.0 up to 20.0 wt%. In addition, the µ values decreased with the photon's energy. The µ values were found 0.0847 up to 0.1175 cm^-1, 0.0571 up to 0.0855 cm^-1, and 0.0543 up to 0.075 cm^-1 at 662.5, 1173.24, and 1332.51 keV. for B0 up to B20, respectively. The ATR spectroscopy was done on the prepared samples, and a good evidence of adding the filler to the pure polyethylene (HDPE) was obtained. Besides, an enhancement in dielectric constant by insertion of basalt NPs also recorded and can be attributed to the large dielectric constant of basalt compared to pure HDPE.

The time domain methods of estimating the attenuation coefficient are generally based on the analysis of statisical properties of the reflected echoes form an attenuating medium. Hence, it is often required to have a large number of data samples in order to obtain a statistically stable estimation result. In the attenuation estimation problem, this means that many different speckle patterns are required in the spatial resolution volume of an attenLlation image. In this paper, by using the fact that the speckle pattern Is sensitive to the point spread function of the ultrasound beam, we suggest a method to generate the statiscally uncorrelated or slightly correlated data samples in a given region by rotating a linear transducer and carrying out lateral scans for all rotating angles. This technique is applied to the entropy method for attenuation estimation proposed recently by the authors where the performance is verified by experiments using a tissue equivalent phantom.
