The gyroscope free strap-down INS is composed only of accelerometers. Any gyroscope free INS navigation error is deeply affected by the accuracy of the sensor bias, scale factor, orientation and location error. However these parameters can be found by calibration. There is an important research issue about a multi-position calibration method in this paper. It provides a novel method to find the error parameters for the six-accelerometer INS. A superior simulation is shown that the multi-position calibration can find the specifications of a six-accelerometer INS in laboratory. From these parameters the six-accelerometer INS could apply in realistic navigation.

The proposed inertial measurement unit (IMU) is composed of accelerometers only. It can determine a vehicle's position and attitude, which is the Gyro-free INS. The Gyro-free INS error is deeply affected by the sensor bias, scale factor and misalignment. However, these parameters can be obtained in the laboratory. After these misalignments are corrected, the Gyro-free strap-down INS could be more accurate. This paper presents a compensator design for the strap-down six-accelerometer INS to correct misalignment. A calibration experiment is taken to get the error parameters. A simulation results show that it will decrease the INS error to enhance the performance after compensation.

In this paper presents an accurate AFM used that is free from the Z-directional distortion of a servo actuator is described. Two mathematical correction methods by the in-situ self-calibrationare employed in this AFM. One is the method by the integration, and the other is the method by inverse function of the calibration curve. The in situ self-calibration method by the integration, the derivative of the calibration curve function of the PZT actuator is calculated from the profile measurement data sets which are obtained by repeating measurements after a small Z-directional shift. Input displacement at each sampling point is approximately estimated first by using a straight calibration line. The derivative is integrated with reference to the approximate input to obtain the approximate calibration curve. Then the approximation of the input value of each sampling point is improved using the obtained calibration curve. Next the integral of the derivative is improved using the newly estimated input values. As a result of repeating these improving process, the calibration curve converges to the correct one, and the distortion of the AFM image can be corrected. In the in situ self-calibration through evaluating the inverse function of the calibration curve, the profile measurement data sets were used during the data processing technique. Principles and experimental results of the two methods are presented.

This paper presents testing and self-calibration of RF circuits using MEMS switches to identify process-related defects and out of specification circuits. We have developed a novel multi-tone dither test technique where the test stimulus is generated by modulating the RF carrier signal with a multi-tone signal generated using an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) with additive white Gaussian noise. This test stimulus is provided as input to the RF circuit and peak-to-average ratio (PAR) is measured at the output. For a faulty circuit, a significant difference is observed in the value of PAR as compared to a fault-free circuit. Simulation is performed for various circuit conditions such as fault-free as well as fault-induced and their corresponding PARs are stored in the look-up table. This testing and self-calibration technique is exhaustive and efficient for present-day communication systems.

The typical method for performing an absolute radiometric calibration of a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) System is to analyze its response, without interference, to a target with a known Radar Cross Section (RCS). To minimize interference, an error-free calibration site for a Corner Reflector (CR) is required on a wide and flat plain or on an area without disturbance sources (such as ground objects). However, in reality, due to expense and lack of availability for long periods, it is difficult to identify such a site. An alternative solution is the use of a Triangular Trihedral Corner Reflector (TTCR) site, with a surrounding protection wall consisting of berms and a hollow. It is possible in this scenario, to create the minimum criteria for an effectively error-free site involving a conventional object-tip reflection applied to all beams. Sidelobe interference by the berm is considered to be the major disturbance factor. Total interference, including an object-tip reflection and a sidelobe interference, is analyzed experimentally with SAR images. The results provide a new guideline for the minimum criteria of TTCR site design that require, at least, the removal of all ground objects within the fifth sidelobe.

Based on the flow characteristics around a piercing cylinder, a free surface-flow velocitmetry which can be used in extremely harsh environment such as molten steel flow was developed. The velocimetry is consisted of finite length cylinder, load detecting elastic plate, electric signal transducer and data acquisition H/W and S/W. Using such a velocimetry, two velocity measurement schemes were established which one is flow resistance detecting scheme and the other is Karman Vortex frequency detecting scheme. For calibration of each scheme, realistic flow water model was used and in followings, detailed calibration processes were explained.

표준 컨덴서 마이크로폰의 정밀 교정은 가역원리를 이용한 가역교정에 의해 이루어진다. 본 연구에서는 가역교정 중에서도 결합기를 이용하는 음압교정(pressure calibration)을 수행하여 세 개의 1인치 컨덴서 마이크로폰의 음압감도를 결정하였다. 마이크로본의 음압감도를 정밀하게 결정하기 위해서는 전압이나 결합기의 치수를 정밀하게 측정하여야 하며 결합기의 구조상 발생하는 제반 현상들에 대한 보정을 정확하게 해 주어야 한다. 이와같은 사항들을 정화하게 고려할 경우 가역교정에 의한 교정정밀도는 저주파와 중간 주파수 영역에서 0.05dB이며 10kHz 이상에서는 0.ldB가 된다.

Magnetometer calibration must be performed before the use of three-axis magnetometers to ensure the accuracy of orientation estimation. Recently, one of the most popular calibration approaches is the ellipsoid fitting technique due to its high performance in calibration. To date, in fact, performances of the existing ellipsoid fitting methods have been evaluated with full range rotation data. However, in case of the calibration of magnetometers attached to vehicles, ships, and planes, it is very difficult to collect the full range rotation data since their allowable ranges in terms of roll and pitch are limited to small. This constraint may result in serious performance degradation of some ellipsoid fitting algorithms. Therefore, to be practical, this paper proposes a weighted least square-based magnetometer calibration method that is robust in roll-pitch limited conditions. Furthermore, the proposed method is a linear approach and thus is free from the well-known initial value issue in nonlinear approaches. Experimental results show the superiority of the proposed method to other ellipsoid-fitting calibration methods.

측정 분야나 교정 분야에서 측정 불확도를 보고하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 정보통신부 전파연구소에서는 EMI 측정 시험소를 위하여 안테나 교정 서비스를 제공하고 있는데, 안테나 교정의 정확성은 측정 불확도 평가로 집약되어, EMI 시험의 신뢰성을 판가름하는 시금석이 된다. EMI에 관한 국제기구인 CISPR에서는 2005년 말에 안테나 교정에 대한 최초의 표준 초안인 CISPR/A/644/C를 내놓았다. 이 초안은 안테나교정 및 관련된 측정 불확도를 포함하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 문서를 근간으로 전파연구소 이천의 안테나 교정시험장에서 EMI용 다이폴안테나를 교정할 때의 측정 불확도를 산출하였다. 전파연구소의 안테나 교정 방법은 자유 공간 안테나 인자를 측정하는 3-안테나의 height scanning averaging 법으로서, 본 방법에 의하여 안테나가 교정될 때 측정 결과에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 모든 불확도 요인을 고려하였다.
