In relation to a non-destructive evaluation of irradiation damages of micro-structure interstitial, void and dislocation, the changes in the hysteresis loop, Barkhausen noise amplitude and the harmonics frequency due to a neutron irradiation were measured and evaluated. The Mn-Mo-Ni low alloy steel of RPV was irradiated to a neutron fluence of $2.3\times10^{19}\;n/cm^2\;(E\geq1\;MeV)\;at\;288^{\circ}C$. The saturation magnetization of neutron irradiated metal did not change. The neutron irradiation caused the coercivity to increase, whereas susceptibility to decrease. The amplitude of Barkhausen noise parameters associated with the domain wall motion were decreased by a neutron irradiation. The spectrum of Barkhausen noise is analysed with an applied frequency of 4 Hz and 8 Hz, sampling time of $50\;{\mu}sec\;and\;20\;{\mu}sec$. The harmonic frequency shows 4 Hz, 8 Hz, 12 Hz; and 16 Hz reflected from an unirradiated specimen. On the contrary, the harmonic frequency disappeared on the irradiated specimen.

本 論文에서는 델타變調(Delta Modualation:DM) 符號器의 入力에 音聲帶域信號를 使用하였을 때 非適應形인 線形變調方式(Linear Delta) Modulation:DOM)과 適應形인 一定係數變調方式(Constant Factor Delta Modulation:CFDM)을 比較하였다. 샘플링레이트(sampling rate)를 16~96kb/s로 變化시키면서 測定, 比較한 結果 20kb/s에서는 適應形이 非適應形보다 信號對量子化雜音比(Signal-to-Quantization Noise Ratio:SQNR)가 8〔dB〕改善되었고 60kb/s에서는 平均 14〔dB〕정도 改善되었다. 특히 雜音이 없는 理想的 채널에서는 最大 SQNR이 거의 비슷하고 CFDM이 LDM보다 넓은 다이나믹범위(Dynamic range)를 가지나 雜音이 있는 채널에서는 CFDM의 誤差率이 증가하여 SQNR이 떨어진다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In relation to a non-destructive evaluation of irradiation damages, the changes in the hysteresis loop and Barkhausen noise amplitude and the harmonics frequency due to a neutron irradiation were measured and evaluated. The Mn-Mo-Ni low alloy steel of RPV was irradiated to a neutron fluence of 2.3 ×10/sup 19/ n/㎠ (E ≥1 MeV) at 288℃. The saturation magnetization of neutron irradiated metal did not change. The neutron irradiation caused the coercivity to increase, whereas susceptibility to decrease. The amplitude of Barkhausen noise parameters associated with the domain wall motion were decreased by a neutron irradiation. The spectrum of Barkhausen noise is analysed with an applied frequency of 4 Hz and 8 Hz, sampling time of 50 μ sec and 20 μ sec. The harmonic frequency shows 4 Hz, 8 Hz, 12 Hz and 16 Hz reflected from an unirradiated specimen. On the contrary, the harmonic frequency disappeared on the irradiated specimen. In addition to the amplitude, the harmonic frequency of Barkhausen noise is taken into accounts as a promising tool for monitoring the irradiation induced degradation of the reactor materials such as a SA508 of PWR-RPV steel and a Zr₄ of HANARO-CNH.

Apophis is a near-Earth object with a diameter of approximately 340 m, which will come closer to the Earth than a geostationary orbit in 2029, offering a unique opportunity for characterizing the object during the upcoming encounter. Therefore, Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute has a plan to propose a space mission to explore the Apophis asteroid using scientific instruments such as a laser altimeter. In this study, we evaluate the performance metrics of a laser altimeter using a pseudorandom noise modulation technique for the Apophis mission, in terms of detection probability and ranging accuracy. The closed-form expression of detection probability is provided using the cross correlation between the received pulse trains and pseudo-random binary sequence. And the new ranging accuracy model using Gaussian error propagation is also derived by considering the sampling rate. The operation range is significantly limited by thermal noise rather than background noise, owing to not only the low power laser but also the avalanche photodiode in the analog mode operation. However, it is demonstrated from the numerical simulation that the laser altimeter can achieve the ranging performance required for a proximity operation mode, which employs commercially available components onboard CubeSat-scale satellites for optical communications.

Damping ratio and frequency have influence on dynamic serviceability or instability such as vortex-induced vibration and displacement amplification due to earthquake and critical flutter velocity, and it is thus important to make determination of damping ratio and frequency accurate. As bridges are getting longer, small scale model test considering similitude law must be conducted to evaluate damping ratio and frequency. Analysis conditions modified by similitude law are applied to experimental test considering different scale ratios. Generally, Nyquist frequency condition based on natural frequency modified by similitude law has been used to determine sampling rate for different scale ratios, and total time length has been determined by users arbitrarily or by considering similitude law with respect to time for different scale ratios. However, Nyquist frequency condition is not suitable for multimode system with noisy signals. In addition, there is no specified criteria for determination of total time length. Those analysis conditions severely affect accuracy of damping ratio. The focus of this study is made on the determination of minimum analysis conditions for different scale ratios. Influence of signal to noise ratio is studied according to the level of noise level. Free initial value problem is proposed to resolve the condition that is difficult to know original initial value for free vibration. Ambient and free vibration tests were used to analyze the dynamic properties of a system using data collected from tests with a two degree-of-freedom section model and performed on full bridge 3D models of cable stayed bridges. The free decay is estimated with the stochastic subspace identification method that uses displacement data to measure damping ratios under noisy conditions, and the iterative least squares method that adopts low pass filtering and fourth order central differencing. Reasonable results were yielded in numerical and experimental tests.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11a의 OFDM 통신시스템에 대한 송수신 주파수편차의 교정기법을 연구하고 편차주파 수들의 교정오차에 의한 잡음을 분석한다. 반송주파수편차에 의한 심볼당 회전위상을 짧은 훈련신호(short preamble)의 자기상관에서 추정한다. 잡음의 영향을 줄이기 위하여 짧은 훈련신호(short preamble)를 과도표본화 (over-sampling)한다. 파일롯(pilot) 신호를 도입하여 추정된 반송주파수편차의 오차와 표본화 주파수편차에 의한 OFDM 심볼당 회전위상을 추정한다. 이러한 회전위상의 추정과 교정에 CORDIC(Coordinated Rotational Digital Computer) 프로세서 또는 각도와 복소수의 환산표를 사용하고 이것들의 구현기법과 장단점을 비교한다. 복소수와 위상은 CORDIC 프로세서와 환산표에서 한정된 비트(bit) 개수로 계산되므로 각도양자화 오차가 있게 된다. 비트개수에 따른 각도양자화 오차를 OFDM 신호의 SNR로 나타내고 IEEE 802.11a의 편차주파수 교정에서 요구되는 최소한의 비트 개수를 제시한다. 끝으로, 모의실험을 통하여 짧은 훈련신호로 반송주파수편차를 추정하고 CORDIC 프로세서와 환산표에서 사용된 비트 개수에 따른 양자화 잡음을 검증한다.

Nicotine is the main component of environmental tobacco smoke, and its presence in indoor air is widely used as a secondhand-smoke indicator. Environmental tobacco smoke is a major source of indoor air pollution, but sufficient investigation of the uncertainty of its measurement, which mirrors the reliability of nicotine measurement, has not been performed. We calculated the uncertainty of measurement of indoor air nicotine concentration at low, medium, and high concentrations of 11.3798, 10.1977, $98.3768{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively, and we employed the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurements (GUM), proposed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The factors considered in determining the uncertainty were uncertainty of the calibration curve (calibration curve and repeated measurements), desorption efficiency, extraction volume, and sampling airflow (accuracy and acceptable limits of flowmeter). The measurement uncertainty was highest at low concentrations; the expanded measurement uncertainty is $0.9435{\mu}g/m^3$ and is represented as a relative uncertainty of 63.38%. At medium and high (concentrations, the relative uncertainty was 13.1% and 9.1%, respectively. The uncertainty of the calibration curve was largest for low indoor nicotine concentrations. To increase reliability of measurement in assessing the effect of secondhand smoke, measures such as increasing the sample injection rate ($1{\mu}L$ or more), increasing sampling volume to increase collected nicotine, and using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or GC/MS/MS, which has a lower quantitation threshold, rather than gas chromatography with nitrogen phosphorous detector, should be considered.

목적 : 자기공명영상시스템에서 양자화잡음을 분석하였다. 신호대양자화잡음비를 이론적으로 유도하였고 다양한 자기공명영상시스템에서 신호대양자화잡음비를 계산하였다. 이러한 계산으로부터 고자장영상시스템에서는 양자화잡음이 전체시스템의 신호대잡음비를 결정짓는 주된 잡음원이 될 수 있음을 보였다. 하드웨어의 교체없이 양자화잡음을 줄일 수 있는 방법들을 제시하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 자기공명영상에서 사용되는 Fourier 영상기법에서는 위상 및 주파수 인코딩 방법으로 자기공명신호를 공간주파수 형태의 신호로 변환하여 측정하게 된다. 따라서 공간주파수 영역에서 발생하는 양자화잡음을 재구성된 영상에서의 신호대양자화잡음비로 나타내었다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통하여 유도된 식의 타당성을 보였다. 결과 : 유도된 식을 이용하여 다양한 주 자장 및 수신 시스템에 대하여 신호대양자잡음비를 계산하였다. 양자화잡음은 신호의 크기에 비례하여 증가하므로 상대적으로 신호가 큰 고자장 시스템에서 보다 큰 문제점으로 부각될 수 있다. 많은 수신 시스템에서 채택하고 있는 16 bits/샘플 양자기로는 양자화 잡음이 고자장 시스템에서 기대되는 신호대잡음비의 향상을 제한할 수 있는 주된 잡음원이 될 수 있음을 보였다. 결론 : fMRI나 spectroscopy를 위하여 자기공명영상의 주 자장은 지속적으로 높아지고 있다. 고자장에서는 신호가 커지고, susceptibility와 스펙트럼의 분리가 커져서 fMRI 나 spectroscopy에 유리한 면이 많다. 양자화잡음은 신호의 크기에 비례하여 증가하기 때문에 만약 양자기의 변환 비트가 충분히 크지 않을 경우 양자화잡음이 커져 신호의 증가에 비례하는 신호대잡음비의 향상을 이룰 수 없다. 이 논문에서는 신호대양자화잡음비를 이론적으로 유도하고, 다양한 자장의 세기 및 수신 시스템에 대하여 신호대양자화잡음비를 계산함으로써 고자장에서, 특히 상대적으로 신호가 큰 3차원영상에서 , 양자화잡음이 전체 시스템의 신호대잡음비를 제한할 수 있는 주된 잡음원이 될 수 있음을 보였다. 근원적인 해결책은 아닐 수 있으나 oversampling과 에코의 센터를 비껴가는 샘플링으로 하드웨어의 향상없이 양자화잡음을 줄일 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다.

An all-digital delay-locked loop (DLL) for a mobile memory interface, which runs at 0.11-2.5 GHz with a phase-shift capability of $180^{\circ}$, has two internal DLLs: a global DLL which uses a time-to-digital converter to assist fast locking, and shuts down after locking to save power; and a local DLL which uses a phase detector with an adaptive phase sampling window (WPD) to reduce jitter accumulation. The WPD in the local DLL adjusts the width of its sampling window adaptively to control the loop bandwidth, thus reducing jitter induced by UP/DN dithering, input clock jitter, and supply/ground noise. Implemented in a 65 nm CMOS process, the DLL operates over 0.11-2.5 GHz. It locks within 6 clock cycles at 0.11 GHz, and within 17 clock cycles at 2.5 GHz. At 2.5 GHz, the integrated jitter is $954fs_{rms}$, and the long-term jitter is $2.33ps_{rms}/23.10ps_{pp}$. The ratio of the RMS jitter at the output to that at the input is about 1.17 at 2.5 GHz, when the sampling window of the WPD is being adjusted adaptively. The DLL consumes 1.77 mW/GHz and occupies $0.075mm^2$.
