Breast ultrasound has many advantages over mammography but suffers from a shortcoming of being not suitable in detecting microcalcification. We studied on a method based on acoustic resonance and power Doppler to detect calcification of breast tissue using a typical 7.5 MHz linear probe used in breast ultrasound examination. We first constructed a breast tissue phantom made of gelatin and then observed calcified legions as external vibrations varied. Calcification injected to the breast tissue phantom being resonated different from the surrounding medium, and its acoustic resonance driven by external vibrations was visualized by differences for color brightness and area in ROI of power doppler. In low frequency regions, the acoustic resonance almost not appeared and showed a plateau in $300{\sim}600\;Hz$ and the color vanished as the frequency further increased.

Accurate ranging is one of the key factors in the test and evaluation process of underwater vehicles. In particular, when estimating range using Time of Arrival (ToA) values, signals such as Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM), a chirp signal, are highly applicable due to their correlated nature. However, in a Doppler shift environment with mobility, measurement errors may occur due to the range-Doppler coupling effect. In this paper, we propose a signal that compensates for the distance-Doppler coupling effect to reduce the measurement error of the arrival time value. The proposed signal is constructed by superimposing two types of LFM signals, and the range-Doppler coupling effect can be minimized. Through simulations, it is confirmed that the proposed signal is a way to compensate for the distance-Doppler coupling effect in the distance estimation of underwater mobile bodies, reducing the measurement error of the arrival time value.

In this paper, we described the implementation of the X-Band continuous-wave doppler radar for muzzle velocity measurement. The radar is consisted of microwave transceiver, signal processor, power board, and the measuring program was developed for the operating and field test. The operating frequency of doppler radar is able to set ${\pm}3\;MHz$ with 5 channel from the center frequency, and the output power is 25 dBm. The minimum receiving power is -117 dBm. The radar would obtain the doppler frequency from the artillery, and calculate accurate velocity point and then estimate muzzle velocity. The performance test for this radar was done with 155 mm at barrel and tripod mounted, and also compared the performance with the reference radar. As a result, the performance of the our new radar is equal with the reference one.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technique uses multiple sub-carriers for the data transmission. Therefore, Inter Carrier Interference(ICI) is generated because of nonlinear high power amplifier and carrier frequency offset. Wireless OFDM transmission over Doppler fading channels also causes ICI. In OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access), multiple sub-carriers are allocated to each user. Therefore, inter carrier interference causes interference to other users. I evaluate the BER performance of OFDMA systems in frequency selective fading channel, considering Multi-User Interference (MUI) owing to the carrier frequency offset, the nonlinear high power amplifier, and the Doppler fading. In the uplink OFDMA, multi-user interference introduces larger BER degradation than in the downlink. I explain the reason and obtain the required characteristics of the nonlinear amplifier and the value of frequency offset for good BER performance. And I also analyze the BER degradation upon Doppler fading channel.

수자원이란 인간의 생활이나 경제활동 및 자연환경 유지 등을 하는데 이용할 수 있는 자원으로서의 물을 말하며 효율적인 수자원의 활용을 위해서는 수문조사가 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 수문조사는 강수량, 수위, 유량, 유사량, 증발산량, 토양수분량을 측정, 조사, 분석하는 것이라고 할 수 있으며 이 중 유량은 강우-유출 관계 규명, 이수, 치수 등을 위해 높은 정확도의 관측자료가 필요하다. 그러나 하천유량은 장기간 연속적으로 관측하는 것이 어려우므로 특성 횟수의 유량조사를 통해 수위-유량관계곡선식(Rating curve)을 개발하여 수위로부터 연속적인 유량을 산정하여 활용하고 있어 이를 개선하기 위해 전자파표면유속계를 활용한 자동유량측정장치를 개발하였으며 측정자료 분석 및 알고리즘 고도화를 통해 신뢰도 높은 유량을 산정하고자 하였다. 운동하는 물체에 의하여 산란된 전자파의 주파수가 변하게 되는 현상을 도플러 효과라고 하며 이때의 주파수의 변화량을 도플러 주파수라고 한다. 전자파표면유속계는 하천 수면으로 전자파를 발사한 후 물 표면에서 반사되는 전자파의 도플러 효과를 이용하여 표면유속을 측정하는 것으로 전자파표면유속계를 교량 상류 방향으로 고정시켜 설치하였으며 측정된 자료는 유량관측 시스템에서 저장, 관리되고 물리적, 통계적 방법이 적용된 알고리즘을 통해 유량을 산정한다. 산정된 유량의 정확도 확보를 위해 바람 영향, 최적 환산계수 재산정, 통계분석 등을 통해 시스템의 유량산정 알고리즘 개선 방안을 도출하였으며 개선된 알고리즘이 적용된 유량은 NSE(Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency), PBIAS(Percent Bias), RSR(RMSE-observations standard edviation ratio)을 통해 평가하였다. 바람 영향은 유량 관측 고도화 매뉴얼(일본 토목연구소)의 경험식과 현장에서 관측된 풍향·풍속을 활용하여 분석하였으나 개선효과가 미미한 것으로 나타났으며 자동으로 관측된 유량자료에 포함된 무작위적인 변화량을 감소시키기 위해 경향성 분석을 병행하여 이동평균 방법을 적용하였다. 또한 ADCP 등을 활용한 유량측정성과와 수위-유량관계곡선식과의 비교·분석을 통해 수위별 최적 환산계수를 산정하여 유량산정 알고리즘에 적용한 결과 NSE는 0.980, PBIAS는 1.580, RSR은 0.142로 모두 Very Good(높은 상관성)으로 분석되어 유량자료의 정확도를 확보하였다.

In a fluid velocity measurement radar, the velocity information can be extracted from Doppler spectrum estimates of the return signal. However, the Doppler frequency ranges are too low for the case of low velocity profile measurements resulting in the serious effects in the velocity measurement. Therefore, the improved method is analyzed to overcome this problem.

In this paper, a novel detection method called the joint multiple frequency cell (JMFC) detection is addressed for spread spectrum code acquisition in the presence of residual Doppler frequency offset (RDFO). When the RDFO exists, the correlation peak used for detection during the acquisition process is split into several lower neighboring peaks, resulting in severe degradation in the detection performance, and consequently, in the overall acquisition performance. In the JMFC detection, a decision variable for detection is formed by combining several consecutive correlator outputs, so that the reduction in the correlation value due to the RDFO can be alleviated. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme can offer better detection performance over the conventional scheme based on the cell-by-cell detection.

The United States will proceed with the effort to modernize the GPS system, and one of its main content is to provide L5 signal. L5 will be transmitted in a radio band reserved exclusively for aviation safety services. And, L5, in combination with L1, will improve the position accuracy via ionospheric correction and robustness via signal redundancy. However, The acquisition processing time of L5 takes longer than that of L1 as the code length of L5 is 10 times longer than that of L1. To reduce this acquisition processing time, a higher number of correlators in the aquisition module should be used. However, there is a problem that this causes increase in the complexity of the correlator configuration and the computation power. So, in this paper, we propose L5 signal tracking scheme using tracking results in the GPS L1/L5 receiver. The proposed scheme could reduce the hardware complexity as the GPS L5 signal acquisition module is not needed, and provide fast and stable tracking of L5 signal by aiding L1 tracking results such as PRN, the code phase synchronization, and the Doppler frequency. The feasibility of the proposed scheme is demonstrated through simulation results.
