일반적임 빔 형성기는 표적의 방위탐지가 가능하지만, 구조적인 특성상 대칭적인 빔을 형성하므로 표적의 좌/우 방위 구분이 불가능하기 때문에 표적의 정확한 방위를 탐지하고자 할 때 좌/우 구분이 가능한 빔 형성기가 필수적이다. 좌/우 분리 빔 형성 기법으로는 카디오이드(Cardioid) 빔 형성기법을 일반적인 빔 형성기에 적용시키는 방법이 최적으로 알려져 왔다. 그러나 좌/우 분리 빔을 형성하기 위해서는 많은 연산량과 하드웨어 설계에 대한 고려가 있어야한다. 본 논문에서는 좌/우 분리 빔 형성을 위하여 주파수 빔 형성기법과 카디오이드 빔 형성기법을 합성하여 적용하였다. 주파수 빔 형성 기법은 짧은 수행시간 동안에 표적의 정보추출을 위하여 고려되었으며, 카디오이드 빔 형성기법은 3개의 센서를 이용하여 센서의 기울기를 보상하여 수행하는 기법을 적용하였다. 또한 방향성 있는 시뮬레이션 신호를 생성하여 좌/우 분리 빔 형성 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

When a beamforming can be processed separately in horizontal and vertical directions with the planar arrays used in sonar systems, there are several merits such as that practically reduce the required computations and volumes. However, the common planar arrays used in sonar systems are generally non-separable, so the beamforming with separable weighting results in the differences between the desired beam characteristics and the resultant beam characteristics. In this paper, we propose a new separable weighting method which can achieve the wanted beam characteristics by using the separable weights in horizontal and vertical directions for the non-separable planar arrays. In order to achieve the wanted beam characteristics, the proposed method minimizes the differences between the desired weights and the resultant weights based on the number of effective sensors in horizontal and vertical directions of the planar arrays.

Single towed line array receiver contains an ambiguity on conjugate bearings because of lacking aperture in transverse direction. To solve the left/right bearing ambiguity of line array receiver this paper proposed using single line array with fixed cardioid beam. Fixed cardioid beam has problem about back beam gain exists for steering beam inherent. Back beam is makes form on direction that is different from actually source so that reduced the performance of left/right bearing discrimination. In this paper, line way with adaptive cardioid beam for resolve problem of back beam gain is proposed. So the proposed method has more improved left/right bearing discrimination than fixed cardioid beam, Simulation results show the performance of the proposed method.

In a cylindrical sonar, a conventional broadband energy detector has limitations in the separation of adjacent targets. In this paper, a broadband detection algorithm using cross-correlation is applied to the cylindrical sonar to improve the bearing resolution. The proposed algorithm uses split beamforming before broadband detection processing using cross-correlation to generate half beams. The time delay obtained from the peak of correlation between half beams is used to estimate the bearing of target. Simulations demonstrate the improved performance of the proposed algorithm against the conventional algorithm.

Beamspace transform algorithm transforms spatial-domain data - such as x, y, z dimension - into incidence-angle-domain data, which is called beamspace-domain data. The beamspace transform method is generally used in source localization and tracking, and adaptive beamforming problem. When the beamspace transform method is used in multichannel audio source separation, the inverse beamspace transform is also important because the source image have to be reconstructed. This paper studies the beamspace transform and inverse transform algorithms for multichannel audio source separation system, especially for the beamspace-domain multichannel NMF algorithm.

본 연구에서는 Marx Generator와 펄스 형성라인을 결합시켜 만든 VEBA(Versatile Electron Beam Accelerator)장치를 사용하여 아르곤 이온의 에너지를 식각 추적 방법을 써서 측정하였다. 이 장치에서 240kV, 30kA, 60ns의 전자빔이 발생되었다. 이 전자빔이 이극관을 통과하면서 이 때 주입된 아르곤 기체가 이온화되어 아르곤 이온이 얻어진다. 이렇게 형성된 이온은 가상적 음극에 의해 진공 전파관 속으로 가속되고 이를 전자빔과 분리한 후 알루미늄 박막으로 만든 식각 추적판을 때리도록 장치하였다. 이때 아르곤 이온이 뚫고 들어간 알루미늄 박막의 수로부터 이온의 에너지를 구하였다. 이렇게 얻어진 실험값은 이론값과 잘 일치하였다.

In order to detect the precise port/starboard direction of arrival of target signal in real noisy ocean environments, Inverse beamforming (IBF) algorithm is surveyed theoretically and the detection performances of IBF are analyzed with simulations. Cardioid Inverse beamforming algorithm was proposed for port/starboard discrimination and the performance was studied with simulations. It is shown that IBF has a 3dB array gain advantage over Conventional beamforming (CBF) under ideal conditions. This 3 dB advantage is proven theoretically and illustrated with simulations. The fact that the IBF beamwidth is narrower than the CBF beamwidth by a factor of 0.68 proves the performance of defection and spatial resolution improvement. Comparing the simulation results of Cardioid Inverse beamforming and Conventional Cardioid beamforming, it is shown that Cardioid Inverse beamformer has enhanced performance in minimum detection level, detection accuracy and resolution. Due to the results of moving target bearing detection test in endfire, it is shown that Cardioid Inverse beamformer has better performance, comparing the Conventional Cardioid beamformer.

In this paper, a new method for Partial field decomposition is developed that is based on the beamforming algorithm for the application of acoustical holography to a composite sound field generated by multiple incoherent sound sources. In the proposed method, source Positions are first predicted by MUSIC(multiple signal classification) algorithm. The composite sound fields can then be decomposed into each partial field by the beamforming. Results of both numerical simulations and experiments show that the method can find each partial field very accurately and effectively, and that it also has Potential to be used for application to distributed sources.

This paper first proposes a technique to separate clean speech signals and mixed noise signals by using an independent vector analysis algorithm of frequency band for 4 channel speech source signals with a noise. An improved output speech signal from the proposed independent vector analysis algorithm is obtained by using the cross-correlation between the signal outputs from the frequency domain delay-sum beamforming and the output signals separated from the proposed independent vector analysis algorithm. In the experiments, the proposed algorithm improves the maximum SNRs of 10.90dB and the segmental SNRs of 10.02dB compared with the frequency domain delay-sum beamforming algorithm for the input mixed noise speeches with 0dB and -5dB SNRs including white noise, respectively. Therefore, it can be seen from this experiment and consideration that the speech quality of this proposed algorithm is improved compared to the frequency domain delay-sum beamforming algorithm.
