In this paper, when using the LMS algorithm for adaptive ultrasonic beamforming system, the effect of initial value setting on the margin of step parameters was studied. To this end, quasi-ideal beams, rotational beams with arbitrarily set beam widths were used as examples. In the numerical simulations, an arbitrary initial value(the number of sound sources fixed to any number) was set in the ultrasonic beamforming system, and the margin of the step parameter and convergence characteristics thereof were compared.

In this paper, we study the effect of gradient vector calculation method(analytical method, central finite difference method) on adaptive beamforming to control weight distribution during iterated calculation when LMS algorithm (repeating method) is used to realize desired beam pattern. To this end, a quasi-ideal beam having an arbitrarily set beam width, a rotating beam, and a multi-beam were reviewed as examples. Numerical experiments applied the step parameters of the appropriate values to the adaptive beamforming system through trial and error equally to the two calculations, and compared the convergence characteristics of objective functions that evaluate adaptability and error using two methods for calculating gradient vectors.

Various research and development on Synthetic Aperture Sonar technique is under way to enhance bearing resolution of a SONAR system. In this paper, we estimated perturbed array shapes, and compensated distortion by using estimated away shapes and synthesized arrays in aperture domain such as an ETAM technique. As experimental data, we used the one obtained from towed array in neighboring waters of the Korean peninsula. Through simulation on data where tow-ship speed is maintained at a constant level, we confirmed that synthesis effect of increasing SNR and narrowed beam width of main lobe was consistently demonstrated for about 1 minute when coherence of target signal was maintained. Also, we showed that the synthesis effect with respect to time was constantly maintained.

In this paper, we will design a 800MHz broadband antenna after a problem of the narrow bandwidth is improved. This multiple band antenna unifies the CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access), GSM(Global System for Mobile telecommunication) and TRS(Trunked Radio System) band in the UHF bandwidth, and then it is possible at the shore base station or repeater as the commercial use. It used the duplex resonance effect It had the L-shaped feeding structure which adds the V-slot. And it improved profit using stack structure. It was measured that the frequency bandwidth of the designed antenna which is planed $792{\sim}1040MHz$ with 248MHz(33%). And the antenna gain is 9.4dBi, 3dB beam width $60^{\circ}$ in radiation pattern.

Parametric array for audio applications is analyzed by numerical modeling and analytical approximation. The nonlinear wave equations are used to provide design guidelines for the audio parametric array. A time domain finite difference code that accurately solves the KZK (Khokhlov-Zabolotskaya-Kuznetsov) nonlinear parabolic wave equation is used to predict the response of the parametric array. The time domain code relates the source size and the carrier frequency to the audible signal response including the output level and beamwidth to considering the implementation issues for audio applications of the parametric array, the emphasis is given to the frequency response and distortion. We use the time domain code to find out the optimal parameters that will help produce the parametric array with highest achievable output in terms of the average power within the demodulated signal. Parameters such as primary input frequency, audio source radius and the modulation method are given utmost importance. The output effect of those parameters are demonstrated through the numerical simulation.

In this paper, a compact doppler sensor with oscillator type active antenna operating at 2.4GHz frequency band is proposed to measure the distance or speed of a moving object. The active antenna has been realized by oscillator using radiator, patch antenna, as its resonator. The oscillation frequency is shifted depending on approaching of the object, and a detection circuit discriminates the frequency deviation. The oscillator type active antenna has been designed and simulated. The prototype fabricated has a very small circular disk type of diameter 30mm and height 4.2mm. As for antenna performance, broadside radiation pattern with beamwidth of $130^{\circ}$ and oscillation frequency of 2.373GHz has been measured. Test results as a doppler sensor shows that doppler signal voltage of about 190mV has been obtained for conducting plate moving 1 meter away from the sensor. And, doppler signal voltage has been linearly increased to the ground from 4.5m height by free-falling the sensor.

Recently, the needs for the development and application of the micro marine robot (MMR) which has the advantages in terms of size and cost are increasing. However, the basis is very short in the domestic. While the obstacle avoidance sonar (OAS) which was optimized in terms of size and performance and has the ability of 4-directional detection was developed for the obstacle avoidance of the micro surface robot (MSR) fortunately, the problem that the detection performance is degraded according to the shape of the obstacle because of using the fixed sonar-beam with the limited beam width and detection range exists. To solve this problem, the MSR mechanism that implements the rotating sonar-beam using the spur gear and the servo motor is proposed in this paper. To verify the performance of the proposed mechanism, the wall-tracking of the MSR is considered and the comparison and analysis in term of detection performance and actuation command is performed with conventional fixed sonar-beam. The test results show the validity of the proposed mechanism.

In this paper, circular-polarized dipole antenna with a novel structure is designed, simulated and fabricated for PCS or IMT-2000 base station at an arbitrary test frequency(1.575 GHz). Its radiation pattern is analyzed by means of physical optics(PO). The designed antenna is made up of a horizontal and a vertical dipole elements at a height of λ/4 above an reflector. One of λ/4 length vertical dipole element is located at a height of λ/8 above an reflector. In this case, circularly polarized radiation pattern is obtained by making impedance difference due to adjusting the length of each element. The characteristic of antenna measured from this study is that return loss is 18.4 dB, -10 dB bandwidth is 360 MHz(22.8%), 2 dB axial ratio bandwidth is 30 MHz, -3 dB beamwidth is 76$^{\circ}$, 2 dB axial ratio beamwidth is 58$^{\circ}$, axial ratio is 1.7 dB at 1.575 GHz. Radiation pattern is in well agreement with the result of PO.

A new type of a Rotman lens is presented in this paper fur millimeter-wave applications, such as collision avoidance radar. A dielectric slab Rotman lens is proposed to reduce the conductor loss and to create an appropriate farm for favorable implementation at millimeter-wave frequency. The proposed lens consists of a dielectric slab and slot lines whereas the conventional lenses are constructed with parallel conducting plates. The dielectric slab Rotman lens excited in TE$\_$0/ mode shows a high degree of confinement for the fields, low dispersion, and has an appropriate feed structure. A prototype lens has been designed and fabricated with 9 beam ports and 9 array ports together with 9 tapered slot antennas. This lens has been tested in the range from 10 GHz to 15 GHz and the measured beam widths are about 15$^{\circ}$ at 13 GHz. The measurements also show low mutual coupling between beam ports and an efficiency of about 34.6 %. The overall performance is comparable to that of conventional Rotman lenses even though the prototype was tested at lower than desired frequencies in the microwave frequency range due to our limited resources for fabrications and measurements. It is expected that at millimeter-wave frequency the dielectric slab Rotman lens will have lower conductor loss and lower mutual coupling than conventional Rotman lenses.an lenses.
