집속음장의 고조파성분을 이용한 초음파영상의 특성을 해석하기 위해 집속된 가우스 음원에 직선 edge를 초점면 및 초점면의 전, 후방에 삽입하여 edge의 후방에서 생성되는 음장을 조사하였다. 계산에서는 그린함수의 간단화를 위해 Fresnel근사를 이용하였고, 실험에서는 성형전극을 형성시킨 1.9MHz 요면진동자에 의한 가우스분포의 음장을 갖는 초음파빔에 수직하게 edge를 삽입시켰다. 음장의 이론해석 및 실험결과, 초점면의 제2고조파의 빔형상을 제외하고는 계산치와 실험치가 잘 일치하고 있으며, 제2고조파의 공간 분해능이 기본파에 비해 높음을 알았다.

In this paper, we propose a method to generate defocusing images at the focusing plane using the 3D spatial information of object through pickup process of integral imaging technique. In the proposed method, the focusing and defocusing images are generated by the convolution operation between elemental images and ${\delta}$ function array. We observed the image difference by defocusing degree according to the distance of focusing plane. To show the feasibility of the proposed method, some preliminary experiments are carried out and the results are presented.

Time-reversal processing (TRP) has been shown as an effective way to focus in both time and space. The temporal focusing properties have been used extensively in underwater acoustics communications. Recently. adaptive time-reversal processing (ATRP) was applied to the simultaneous multiple focusing in an ocean waveguide. In this study. multiple focusing with ATRP is extended to the underwater acoustic communication algorithm for multiple receiving locations. The developed algorithm is applied to the underwater acoustic communication to show, via simulation and real data, that the simultaneous self-equalization at multiple receiving locations is achieved.

A novel oxidant generation and ion precipitation cell with slits on parallel plate electrodes was proposed instead of the conventional parallel plate type. An investigation was carried out on the effect of the number and size of slits on ion precipitation and oxidant generation characteristics, evidenced by eliminated space charge limiting action and by elevated electric fields in active interelectrode sparing. Consequently, very high ion precipitation and dense oxidant generation characteristics can be realized by having slits un the electrodes of conventional cells as these slits increase the electric fields and decrease the space charge limiting actions in interelectrode spacing.

A concept of a VSA (Virtual Source Array) is the method for an acoustic spatio-temporal focus at a selected location in the outbound direction with respect to the VSA without the need of a probe source as combines a TRP (Time-Reversal Processing) and time-delay and beam-steering. However, in TRP using the VSA concept, it is limited to the critical angle and the short distances relevant to the VSA. In this paper, the waveguide invariant theory is applied to the VSA concept to refocus the received field at ranges greater other than the critical angle and the short ranges by shifting the focused field. The suggested method is verified via numerical simulation, and the results show that the robust acoustic focusing is achieved on the selected location regardless of the limitation on the conventional VSA concept.

In this paper, we demonstrate electromagnetic wave focusing and rectification based on time reversal as a smart method for far-field wireless power transfer. Time reversal in a complex propagation environment allows for transmission of high peak power pulses by focusing the electromagnetic waves selectively regardless of the receiver position. We demonstrate wave focusing and radio frequency (RF) to direct current (DC) rectification via numerical simulation of a complex propagation environment. The results reveal that time reversal can ensure peak power up to 12 dB greater compared to a narrowband continuous wave signal, thereby enhancing the rectified DC voltage with better efficiency.

The spatial focusing of time reversal Lamb waves on a plate has attracted considerable attention for identifying the location of an input source. This study investigates the spatial focusing performance on a plate with respect to the number of piezoelectric (PZT) sensors for varying locations of input sources. In particular, a small number of PZT sensors produce spatial focusing through the virtual sensor effect due to reflection of Lamb waves at plate edges. The spatial focusing performance with respect to the number of PZT sensors is quantified in terms of signal to noise ratio through numerical simulation and its implication is discussed.

Since the AESA radar scans and tracks a distant targets or ground, it requires a test field which meets far-field condition before flight test. In order to test beam foaming, targeting, and availability from cluttering and jamming, it is general to build a outdoor roof-lab test site at tens of meters high. However, the site is affected by surrounding terrain, weather, and noise wave and is also requires time, space, and a lot of costs. In order to solve this problem, theoretical near-field beam foaming method has proposed. However, it requires modification of associated hardware in order to construct near-field test configuration. In this paper, we propose near-field beam foaming method which use single LUT in order to calibrate the variation of TRM(transmit-receive module) which consists AESA radar without modification of associated hardware and software. It requires less costs than far-field test and multiple LUT based near-field test, nevertheless it can derives similar experimental results.

We propose an effective method for suppressing both side and grating lobes by applying 2-dimensional Fourier Transform to the received channel data during the receive focusing process of an ultrasound imaging system. When the signal from the image point is focused, the channel signals have the same DC value across the channels. However, even after echoes from outside an imaging point are focused, they are manifested as having different spatial frequencies depending on their incident angles. Therefore, after the receive focusing delay time is applied, 2-D Fourier Transform is performed on the time-channel data to separate the DC component and other frequency components in the spectral domain, and the weighting value is defined using the ratio of the two values. The side lobe and grating lobe were suppressed by multiplying the ultrasound image by a weighting value. Ultrasound images with a frequency of 5 MHz were simulated in a 64-channel linear array. The grating lobe appearing in the ultrasound image was completely removed by applying the proposed method. In addition, the side lobe was reduced and the lateral resolution was greatly increased. Results of computer simulation on a human organ mimicking image show that the proposed method can aid in better lesion diagnosis by increasing the image contrast.

고체 표면의 구조해석 방법에는 LEED(저에너지 전자선 회절법)나 RHEED(반사 고에너지 전자선 회절법) 등과 같이 표면의 2차원적 회절상을 해석하는 방법이 있고(역격자 공간의 해석), 또는 ISS(이온산란 분광법), RBS(러더포드 후방산란법) 등과 같이 표면 원자의 실공간에 대한 정보를 직접 얻는 방법이 있다. 실제로는 두 가지 종류의 분석법을 상호 보완적으로 조합하여 효율적인 구조해석을 수행한다. 본고에서는 직충돌 이온산란 분광법(ICISS: Impact Collision Ion Scattering Spectroscopy)에 대한 원리, 장치, 측정방법 등을 소개한 전고에 이어서 이를 이용한 반도체 표면구조 해석에 관하여 기술하고자 한다. 표면의 원자구조를 알아내기 위해서는 산란된 입자의 강도를 입사각도와 출사각도에 대하여 조사하여야 하는데, 이온이 원자와 충돌하여 산란될 때 원자의 후방으로 형성되는 shadow cone에 의하여 생성되는 집속 효과(focusing effect) 및 가리움 효과(blocking effect) 중에서 ICISS는 집속 효과만을 고려하여 해석하면 실공간에서의 원자구조를 해석할 수 있다. 본 고에서는 ICISS를 이용하여 금속 또는 절연체 물질이 반도체 표면 위에서 흡착 또는 성장될 때 초기의 계면 구조 해석, 금속/반도체 계면에서 시간에 따른 동적변화 해석, III-V족 반도체의 표면구조 해석, 반도체 기판 위에서 박막 성장 과정 해석 등에 관한 연구 사례를 소개하고자 한다.
