We describe a method for the in-orbit calibration of body-mounted magnetometers based on the CHAOS-7 geomagnetic field model. The code is designed to find the true calibration parameters autonomously by using only the onboard magnetometer data and the corresponding CHAOS outputs. As the model output and satellite data have different coordinate systems, they are first transformed to a Star Tracker Coordinate (STC). Then, non-linear optimization processes are run to minimize the differences between the CHAOS-7 model and satellite data in the STC. The process finally searches out a suite of calibration parameters that can maximize the model-data agreement. These parameters include the instrument gain, offset, axis orthogonality, and Euler rotation matrices between the magnetometer frame and the STC. To validate the performance of the Python code, we first produce pseudo satellite data by convoluting CHAOS-7 model outputs with a prescribed set of the 'true' calibration parameters. Then, we let the code autonomously undistort the pseudo satellite data through optimization processes, which ultimately track down the initially prescribed calibration parameters. The reconstructed parameters are in good agreement with the prescribed (true) ones, which demonstrates that the code can be used for actual instrument data calibration. This study is performed using Python 3.8.5, NumPy 1.19.2, SciPy 1.6, AstroPy 4.2, SpacePy 0.2.1, and ChaosmagPy 0.5 including the CHAOS-7.6 geomagnetic field model. This code will be utilized for processing NextSat-1 and Small scale magNetospheric and Ionospheric Plasma Experiment (SNIPE) data in the future.

In this paper, an iterative subspace-based calibration algorithm for a CDMA-based antenna array in the presence of unknown gain and phase error is presented. The algorithm does not depend on the array geometry and does not require a prior knowledge of the Directions Of Arrival (DOA) of the signals. The method requires the code sequence of a reference user only. The proposed algorithm is based on the subspace method and root finding approach, and it provides estimates of the calibration vector, the DOA and the channel impulse response, by using the code sequence of a reference user. The performance of the proposed algorithm was investigated by means of computer simulations and was verified using field data measured through a custom-built W-CDMA test-bed. The data show that experimental results match well with the theoretical calibration algorithm. Also, teh study propose an efficient algorithm using the simulated annealing technique. This algorithm overcomes the requirement of initial guessing in the subspace-based approach.

본 논문에서는 비동기 CBMA 시스템에서 발생하는 배열 안테나 소자의 오차 보정(calibration) 문제를 다룬다. 수신기치 주파수 오프셋 오차가 있을 경우에 적용 가능한 새로운 순차적인 오차 보정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 비선형 배열 안테나에도 적용가능하며, 사전에 알고 있는 신호를 사용하여 보정하는 것이 아니라, 셀 내의 임의의 사용자 PN code 만을 사용하여 온라인으로 오차 보정을 수행한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 채널과 주파수 오차를 추정하는 부분과 배열안테나 보정을 추정하는 부분으로 구성되어 있으며, 컴퓨터 모의 실험과 W-CDMA용 스마트 안테나 테스트 베드에서 얻어진 실측 데이터를 이용한 실험을 통하여 그 성능이 검증되었다.

KS-code(KS B 0896) for nondestructive ultrasonic testing classifies the quality level by relative flaw size only. But flaw position is more important than the flaw size. Test blocks having artificial holes near surface show lower yield load than the blocks having deeply located holes from the surface. So, level calibration table was proposed for classifying the quality level of welded steel structures.

The time-consuming and less objectivity are the main problems of conventional micromechanical parameters calibration method of Particle Flow Code simulations. Thus this study aims to address these two limitation of the conventional "trial-and-error" method. A new calibration method for the linear parallel bond model (CM-LPBM) is proposed. First, numerical simulations are conducted based on the results of the uniaxial compression tests on limestone. The macroscopic response of the numerical model agrees well with the results of the uniaxial compression tests. To reduce the number of the independent micromechanical parameters, numerical simulations are then carried out. Based on the results of the orthogonal experiments and the multi-factor variance analysis, main micromechanical parameters affecting the macro parameters of rocks are proposed. The macro-micro parameter functions are ultimately established using multiple linear regression, and the iteration correction formulas of the micromechanical parameters are obtained. To further verify the validity of the proposed method, a case study is carried out. The error between the macro mechanical response and the numerical results is less than 5%. Hence the calibration method, i.e., the CM-LPBM, is reliable for obtaining the micromechanical parameters quickly and accurately, providing reference for the calibration of micromechanical parameters.

In this study, earthquake loads are investigated statistically and compared with the nominal earthquake loads calculated according to the Turkish Earthquake Code, namely: "Specifications for Structures to be Built in Earthquake Areas". For this purpose, the "actual" mean load values estimated from statistical methods and the nominal load values computed according the Seismic Code are compared, with respect to some variations in the basic parameters, such as the importance factor, building height, site coefficient, seismic zone and seismic load reduction factor. In addition to the data compiled from different regions of Turkey, the published data and information in the foreign literature are also used in the determination of the earthquake load statistics. Although the dead and live loads acting on a structure are independent of the geographical location of the structure, environmental loads, such as earthquake loads are highly dependent on the location of the structure. Accordingly, for the assessment of statistical parameters associated with earthquake loads, twelve different locations which can represent the different seismic zones of Turkey as accurately as possible are chosen. As a result of the code calibration procedure considered in this study, it is observed that the load values obtained from the Turkish Seismic Code may overestimate or underestimate the actual seismic loads in some of the seismic zones.

본 논문에서는 디지털 코드 오차 보정 기법을 사용한 15비트 50MS/s CMOS 파이프라인 ADC를 제안한다. 제안하는 ADC는 15비트 수준의 고해상도에서 면적과 전력 소모를 최소화하기 위해서 4단 파이프라인 구조를 사용하며 전체 ADC의 아날로그 회로를 변경하지 않고 첫 번째 단에 약간의 디지털 회로만을 추가하는 디지털 코드 오차 보정 기법을 적용한다. 첫 번째 단에서 소자 부정합으로 인해 발생하는 코드 오차는 나머지 세 단에 의해 측정된 후 메모리에 저장되고 정상 동작 시 메모리에 저장된 코드 오차를 디지털 영역에서 제거하여 보정한다. 모든 MDAC 커패시터 열에는 주변 신호에 덜 민감한 3차원 완전 대칭 구조의 레이아웃 기법을 적용하여 소자 부정합에 의한 영향을 최소화하면서 동시에 첫 번째 단의 소자 부정합을 보다 정밀하게 측정하도록 하였다. 시제품 ADC는 0.18um CMOS 공정으로 제작되었으며, 측정된 DNL 및 INL은 15비트 해상도에서 각각 0.78LSB 및 3.28LSB의 수준을 보이며, 50MS/s의 샘플링 속도에서 최대 SNDR 및 SFDR은 각각 67.2dB 및 79.5dB를 보여준다. 시제품 ADC의 칩 면적은 $4.2mm^2$이며 전력 소모는 2.5V 전원 전압에서 225mW이다.

중성자 수분함량 측정기의 개발에 있어서 중성자 계측값과 흙속의 수분함량에 대한 관계식을 유도하기 위해서는 공시체 제작 등의 많은 실험을 통해 유도한 교정식이 필요하다. 또한 공시체 제작 및 측정실험의 통계적 오차를 줄이기 위해서는 많은 시간과 노력이 필요하다. 하지만 몬테카를로방법을 사용한 전산코드를 이용하여 수행할 경우 시간과 노력을 줄일 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 보다 일반적인 흙에 대한 교정식을 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 중성자의 수송문제를 계산하는데 유용한 MCNP4A 전산코드를 이용하여 실제 실험을 모사하였다. 또한 모사결과를 공시체를 제작하여 실험한 결과와 비교하였다. 비교결과 실제실험의 결과와 모사 범위 내에서 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 중성자 수분함량 측정기의 교정식 도출 및 교정상수를 결정하기 위해 적용할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 수분함량 측정기의 계측값에 영향을 미치는 인자중의 하나인 흙의 건조밀도 변화에 대한 영향을 살펴보았다.

Neutron reference fields of Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) for calibrating neutron measuring devices to be used in radiation workplace monitoring consist of two kinds of neutron spectra, the direct and the scattered neutron fields, which are produced by using radionuclide neutron sources, 252Cf and 241AmBe sources. Necessary parameters for calibration such as the anisotropy factor of each neutron source and the room-scattered fraction of some neutron surveymeters in the KAERI calibration facility were determined by calculation or measurement. Spectral measurement of scattered neutron fields were performed at each reference calibration point using a Bonner Multi-sphere Spectrometer (BMS) and the dosimetric quantities for calibration also estimated from the neutron energy spectra which were unfolded using the BUNKI code.
