We Propose the methods to design the finite impulse response (FIR) and the infinite impulse response (IIR) lattice filters using Schur algorithm through the spectral factorization of the covariance matrix by circulant matrix factorization (CMF). Circulant matrix factorization is also very powerful tool used for spectral factorization of the covariance polynomial in matrix domain to obtain the minimum phase polynomial without the polynomial root finding problem. Schur algorithm is the method for a fast Cholesky factorization of Toeplitz matrix, which easily determines the lattice filter parameters. Examples for the case of the FIR filter and for the case of the In filter are included, and performance of our method check by comparing of our method and another methods (polynomial root finding and cepstral deconvolution).

This paper proposes an aircraft-installed compact offset-parabolic-reflector antenna for the spinning direction-finding applications. The feeder of the reflector antenna is a LPDA antenna that has the ultra-wideband characteristics and the $45^{\circ}$ slant linear polarization. The reflector is designed to be slanted by $5^{\circ}$ in the elevation and to be small in size on the basis of the reference parabolic shape for the purpose of the high gain and mounting on the underside of aircraft fuselage. Over the ultra-wideband 20:1 bandwidth from S to Ka band, the measured average gain of the proposed antenna is 27.97 dBi, and the average half-power beam width is $4.55^{\circ}$ in the azimuth and $4.3^{\circ}$ in the elevation which is the pencil-beam radiation pattern. All the measured data are similar to the simulation results. The designed compact offset-parabolic-reflector antenna that is installed in the limited area has the ultra-wideband and high-gain characteristics. We expect that the newly designed antenna can be applied to the spinning direction-finding antenna system installed in an aircraft.

Semantic web is utilized to construct advanced information service by using semantic relationships between entities. Text mining can be applied to generate semantic relationships from unstructured data resources. In this study, ontology schema guideline, ontology instance generation, disambiguation of same name by text mining and advanced historical people finding service by reasoning have been proposed. Various relationships between historical event, organization, people, which are created by domain experts, are linked to literatures of National Institute of Korean History (NIKH). It improves the effectiveness of user access and proposes advanced people finding service based on relationships. In order to distinguish between people with the same name, we compares the structure and edge, nodes of personal social network. To provide additional information, external resources including thesaurus and web are linked to all of internal related resources as well.

In this paper, by using a commercial EM simulator, we could obtain the array manifold which are phase responses of an array antenna for the incident plane wave and then verified the effectiveness of methodology after comparing with the measurement. The result shows that the array manifold can be calculated including not only the phase response of the ideal point sources but also the influences of the mutual coupling between antennas and the installed platform. Also it can exclude the interference of strong broadcasting signal and the disturbance of the multipath in the calibration process. Finally, to predict the performances of direction finding systems, a novel method using both the EM simulation-based receiving signal and the sparsely sampled array manifold with the parabolic estimation is proposed. This method can be utilized in the various fields of direction-finding since it shows the superior predictive performance even in low SNR conditions.

In this paper, self-calibration algorithm based on covariance matrix is proposed for compensating amplitude/phase mismatch in multi-baseline interferometer direction finding system. The proposed method is a solution to nonlinear constrained minimization problem which dramatically calibrate mismatch error using space sector concept with cost function as defined in this paper. This method, however, has a drawback that requires an estimated initial angle to determine the proper space sector. It is well known that this type of drawback is common in nonlinear optimization problem. Superior calibration capabilities achieved with this approach are illustrated by simulation experiments in comparison with interferometer algorithm for a varitiety of amplitude/phase mismatch error. Furthermore, this approach has been found to provide an exceptional calibration capabilities even in case amplitude and phase mismatch are more than 30 dB and over $5^{\circ}$, respectively, with sector spacing of less than $50^{\circ}$.

In this paper, we implemented a real-time 2.4 GHz direction finding system using a time-modulated array(TMA) and an Universal Software Radio Peripheral(USRP). Our system consists of two commercial monopole antennas, self-designed switch board, and an USRP, and it is controlled using LabVIEW program in real-time. From measured results, it is verified that our system can exactly detect the incident angle within 4 degree in the range of 30 degree. Our direction finding system has advantages of a simple hardware architecture than conventional one with multiple receivers, and a simple algorithm only by using a main lobe and a first side-lobe of switching frequency.

Solving a system of linear or non-linear equations is required to analyze any kind of structures. There are many ways to solve a system of equations, and they can be classified as implicit and explicit techniques. The explicit methods eliminate round-off errors and use less memory. The dynamic relaxation method (DR) is one of the powerful and simple explicit processes. The important point is that the DR does not require to store the global stiffness matrix, for which it just uses the residual loads vector. In this paper, a new approach to the DR method is expressed. In this approach, the damping, mass and time steps are similar to those of the traditional method of dynamic relaxation. The difference of this proposed method is focused on the method of calculating the damping. The proposed method is expressed such that the time step is constant, damping is equal to zero except in steps with maximum energy and the concentrated damping can be applied to minimize the energy of system in this step. In this condition, the calculation of damping in all steps is not required. Then the volume of computation is reduced. The DR method for form-finding of membrane structures is employed in this paper. The form-finding of the three plans related to the membrane structures with different loading is considered to investigate the efficiency of the proposed method. The numerical results show that the convergence rate based on the proposed method increases in all cases than other methods.

In various fields of science, 2-dimensional array data is being generated actively as a result of measurements and simulations. Although various query processing techniques for array data are being studied, the problem of finding similar regions, whose sizes are not known in advance, in 2-dimensional array has not been addressed yet. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an efficient method for finding regions with similar element values, whose size is larger than a user-specified value, for a given 2-dimensional array data. The proposed method, for each pair of elements in the array, expands the corresponding two regions, whose initial size is 1, along the right and down direction in stages, keeping the shape of the two regions the same. If the difference between the elements values in the two regions becomes larger than a user-specified value, the proposed method stops the expansion. Consequently, the proposed method can find similar regions efficiently by accessing only those parts that are likely to be similar regions. Through theoretical analysis and various experiments, we show that the proposed method can find similar regions very efficiently.

In this paper, a slit light laser range finding method using perspective warping calibration is proposed. This approach has an advantage to acquire relatively high accuracy, although the optical system is nonlinear. In the calibration, we detect the calibration points which are marked on the calibration panel and acquire the center position of the slit light laser in the image, which are used for computing the real positions of the slit light by using perspective warping. A calibration file is obtained by integrating the calibration data with the transition of the panel. The range data is acquired by interpolating the center position of the slit light laser to the calibration coordinates. Experimental results show that the proposed method provides the accuracy of 0.08mm error in depth range of 130mm with the low cost optical system.
