영상 신호에서 Dynamic Range는 이미지가 포함하고 있는 휘도의 최소 레벨과 최대 레벨의 비이다. 이미지 촬상 장치가 표현할 수 있는 Dynamic Range는 한정되어 있기 때문에 한정된 범위를 벗어나는 영역에 대해서는 이미지의 왜곡 혹은 손실이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 Line별로 다른 Integration Time을 적용하는 방법으로 영상의 계조 표현 범위를 넓게 향상시켜 Wide Dynamic Range를 갖는 영상을 얻는 방법을 기술한다.

Global Positioning System (GPS) is used in various fields such as communications systems, transportation systems, e-commerce, power plant systems, and up to various military weapons systems recently. However, GPS receiver is vulnerable to jamming signals as the GPS signals come from the satellites located at approximately 20,000 km above the earth. For this reason, various anti-jamming techniques have been developed for military application systems especially and it is also required for commercial application systems nowadays. In this paper, we proposed a dual-channel Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) RF ASIC for digital pre-correlation anti-jam technique. It not only covers all GNSS frequency bands, but is integrated low-gain/attenuation mode in low-noise amplifier (LNA) without influencing in/out matching and 14-bit analogdigital converter (ADC) to have a high dynamic range. With the aid of digital processing, jamming to signal ratio is improved to 77 dB from 42 dB with proposed receiver. RF ASIC for anti-jam is fabricated on a 0.18-μm complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology and consumes 1.16 W with 2.1 V (low-dropout; LDO) power supply. And the performance is evaluated by a kind of test hardware using the designed RF ASIC.

CCD(Charge-Coupled Device) 혹은 CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor)와 같은 소자를 이용하여 빛을 전기적 신호인 Image로 재구성하는 촬상소자(Color Capture Device)는 촬영환경이 어두워지면 Dynamic Range가 작아지고, Noise가 상대적으로 심해진다[1][2]. 본 논문에서는 촬영 환경이 어두울 때, Resolution을 Preserving하는 Pixel Pitch가 큰 촬상 소자와 Motion Blur를 억제하는 Exposure Time이 긴 촬상 소자의 조합을 신호처리로 구현하여, 신호의 Power를 향상시켜 Dynamic Range를 키우고 Noise의 Boost-up을 억제하여 SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio)을 향상시키는 방식으로, 촬상 장치의 감도를 향상시켜 화질을 개선하는 방법을 제안한다.

What has been the contribution of industrial innovation to economic growth? Typically, the issue has been approached with growth-accounting methods augmented to include a "stock of knowledge". An independent estimate of the rate of return to R&D is found in order to impute patents granted to the accumulation of knowledge. Griliches(1973) then uses a regression approach to assess the effect of an R&D variable on the computed TFP growth rate. The regression coefficient on the R&D variable would provide an estimate of the social rate of return to R&D. The related studies tend to show high social rates of return to R&D, typically in a range of 20 to 40 % per year. We need to provide multiple equation dynamic system for productivity and innovation in Korean economy in state space form. A wide range of time series models, including the classical linear regression model, can be written and estimated as special cases of a state space specification. State space models have been applied in the econometrics literature to model unobserved variables like productivity. Estimation produces the following results. Considering the goodness of fit, we can see that the evidence is strongly in favor of the range $0.120{\sim}0.135$ for the elasticity of TFP to R&D stock in the period between 1970's and the early 2000's.

In this study, resonant characteristics of $Pb_{0.88}(La_{0.6}Nd_{0.4})_{0.08}(Mn_{1/3}Sb_{2/3})_{0.02}Ti_{0.98}O_3$ ceramics were investigated with the variations of electrode radius size for manufacturing the best 30MHz SMD type ceramic resonator with the size of $3.7{\times}3.1{\times}0.255mm^3$. Physical properties were proper for appling for 30MHz SMD type ceramic resonator. In third overtone thickness vibration mode, with increasing electrode radius size, resonant resistant($Z_r$) was decreased gradually. Mechanical quality factor($Q_{mt3}$) and dynamic range(D.R) showed the maximum value of 2,283, 47.1dB respectively, at 0.74mm electrode radius size.

Torque fluctuation of engine generate gear rattle noise of transmission and many researches have been studied to decrease rattle noise by adjusting clutch damper system. So design optimization of clutch system is very important to decrease rattle noise and need knowing clutch dynamic torque at real vehicle driving condition. This makes it possible to measure clutch dynamic torque by using a small-size magnetic sensor. We install a small-size magnetic sensor on the input shaft of the transmission and measure the relative angular displacement between clutch hub and disc plate. We can obtain the clutch torque correspond to the angular displacement in the clutch torsional characteristics test. The object of this research is to measure clutch dynamic torque on real vehicle condition. Therefore, Clutch dynamic torque is very useful for investigating operating range of clutch according to engine torque and predicting the damping performance of torsional vibration on the powertrain.

The receiver of this paper is Dual-band monopulse type for prototype of tracking radar. Localization of radar technology is an issue of SamsungThales and go into development. Dual-band radar in comparison with Single-band radar requires higher cost and power consumption but there are many advantages of dealing with jamming, detection range, image signal rejection, cloud-rain influence, clutter, resolution. The receiver is comprised of X-band RF head module, Ka-band RF head module and common IF module. Each signal of X-band and Ka-band is selected by the switch in If module. Phase shifter in IF module of local stage controls the phase of sum, azimuth, elevation channel. In the test result, gain is $40{\pm}3 dB$, isolation of transmitter/receiver is 39 dBc, dynamic range is 110 dB and noise figure of each channel is 4.5dB and 6.9dB.

The contrast of display is one of the important specifications. Even if the contrast indicates luminance range which is a capability of the display and is greater in lower luminance or higher luminance, we consider that the greater contrast gets not the better performance. It is not the same value in human visual system. In practice, it is difficult to achieve the full dynamic range seen by human beings using electronic equipment. Therefore, we consider ambient condition and human perception to calculate perceptual contrast using the CIECAM02. In this paper, we propose perceptual contrast that is calculated using the brightness of CIECAM02.

Active phased array antenna structure is used for modern multi-function radars. To search targets in high clutter environment, the radar receiver needs high dynamic range performance. Though active phased array antenna structure lead to increase of SNR, the SFDR is not increased. In this paper, high SFDR receiver of X-band active phased array radar was designed and manufactured. One channel digital receiver is connected to 32 T/R modules and one PCB assembly is composed to 2 channel digital receivers with RF part, ADC part, LO distribution part and digital down conversion part. A commercial FIFO board was used for digital receiver measurement about major performance in digital output signal condition. The measured digital receiver gain and SFDR is 33 dB and more than 81 dBc each.

In this study, Pb(La,Ce)Ti $O_3$ ceramics were manufactured for 20 MHz resonator application. Electromechanical coupling factor( $k_{t}$, $k_{t3}$, mechanical quality factor( $Q_{mt}$ , $Q_{mt3}$ and dydnamic range (D.R) of thickness vibration mode were measured as the variations of $\ell$/t(length/thickness) ratio of ceramic substrates. Mechanical quality factor( $Q_{mt3}$) and dynamic range of third overtone thickness vibration mode showed the highest value of 2,773 and 52.22dB at specimen S4($\ell$/t=12), respectively. The excellent temperature stability of resonant frequency suitable for resonator application was shown, regardless of thermal shock.k.ock.k.
