In this paper, we present fusion methods for two different lofargrams. Since the conventional method synthesizes the lofargrams using frequency spectrum, it has limited performance in fusion of tonal signals which have two-dimensional information of the time-frequency domain. Proposed algorithm uses a two-dimensional directional bilateral filter for preprocessing and fuses two lofargrams based on comparison of local anisotropy of the lofargrams. After noise is suppressed and tonals are sharpened, the local anisotropy can be used as a criterion to divide tonals and noise. The experiment results using simulated data and real data showed that the proposed algorithms result in similar or lower noise level of the fused lofargram than conventional algorithms and decrease tonal omission in fusion process.

It is needed to develop an antenna with features of subminiature, light weight and multi-band operation for the variaty services in maritime and industrial fields. The PCB pattern antenna is one of the appropreiate antennas solving these requirements. In this research, the design and fabrication of the PCB pattern antenna operating on the single band of 920 MHz are investigated. The final goal is that the development of the dual band PCB pattern antenna operating on 260 MHz and 920 MHz, which is based on the proposed antenna. It is evident that the performance in the frequencies of 902 MHz, 915 MHz and 928 MHz among of 920 MHz ISM band is better than that in other frequencies. It is also confirmed that the differences of the voltage standing wave ratio, return loss, gain and efficiency between three frequencies are less than 5%. It is expected that the development of communication link of 5-10 km is possible when the induced results are applied into the low power wide area (LPWA) network desinged by the rule of -30 dB sensitivity.

The inherent complexity of semiconductor fabrication processes makes it hard to solve well-known job scheduling problems in analytical ways, which leads us to rely practically on discrete event modeling simulations to learn the effects of changing the system's parameters. Meanwhile, unpredictable disturbances such as machine failures and maintenance diminish the productivity of semiconductor manufacturing processes with fixed scheduling policies; thus, it is necessary to adapt job scheduling policy in a timely manner in reaction to critical environmental changes (disturbances) in order for the fabrication process to perform optimally. This paper proposes an adaptive job control framework for a wafer fabrication process in a control system theoretical approach and implements it based on a DEVS modeling simulation environment. The proposed framework has the advantages in view of the whole systems understanding and flexibility of applying new rules compared to most ad-hoc software approaches in this field. Furthermore, it is flexible enough to incorporate new job scheduling rules into the existing rule set. Experimental results show that this control framework with adaptive rescheduling outperforms fixed job scheduling algorithms.

This paper proposes a method of automatically generating a model through a machine learning technique by setting a hypothetical model in the form of a gray box or black box with unknown parameters, when the big data of the actual system is given. We implements the proposed framework and conducts experiments to find an appropriate model among various hypothesis models and compares the cost and fitness of them. As a result we find that the proposed framework works well with continuous systems that could be modeled with ordinary differential equation. This technique is expected to be used well for the purpose of automatically updating the consistency of the digital twin model or predicting the output for new inputs using recently generated big data.

Recently, the destructive power of typhoons is continuously increasing due to the influence of global warming. In a situation where the installation of floating wind turbines is increasing around the world, concerns about the huge loss and collapse of floating offshore wind turbines due to strong typhoons are deepening. Regarding to the safe operation of the floating offshore wind turbine, the development of a new type of disconnectable mooring system is required. A new fairlead chain stopper considered in this study is devised to more easily attach or detach the floating offshore wind turbine with mooring lines comparing to other disconnectable mooring apparatuses. In order to investigate the structural safety of the initial design of fairlead chain stopper that can be applied to MW-class floating type offshore wind turbine, scale-down structural models were produced using a 3-D printer and structural tests were performed on the models. For the structural tests of the scale-down models, tensile specimens of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene material that was used in the 3-D printing were prepared, and the material properties were evaluated by performing the tensile tests. The finite element analysis of fairlead chain stopper was performed by applying the material properties obtained from the tensile tests and the same load and boundary conditions as in the scale-down model structural tests. Through the finite element analysis, the structural weak parts on the fairlead chain stopper were reviewed. The structural model tests were performed considering the main load conditions of fairlead chain stopper, and the test results were compared to the finite element analysis. Through the results of this study, it was possible to experimentally verify the structural safety of the initial design of fairlead chain stopper. It is also judged that the study results can be usefully used to improve the structural strength of fairlead chain stopper in a detailed design stage.

97.5% of our country's exports and 87.2% of imports are transported by sea, making ports an important component of the Korean economy. To efficiently operate these ports, it is necessary to improve the short-term prediction of port water volume through scientific research methods. Previous research has mainly focused on long-term prediction for large-scale infrastructure investment and has largely concentrated on container port water volume. In this study, short-term predictions for petroleum and liquefied gas cargo water volume were performed for Ulsan Port, one of the representative petroleum ports in Korea, and the prediction performance was confirmed using the deep learning model LSTM (Long Short Term Memory). The results of this study are expected to provide evidence for improving the efficiency of port operations by increasing the accuracy of demand predictions for petroleum and liquefied gas cargo water volume. Additionally, the possibility of using LSTM for predicting not only container port water volume but also petroleum and liquefied gas cargo water volume was confirmed, and it is expected to be applicable to future generalized studies through further research.

In this paper, a frame synchronization structure for the Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation method in underwater acoustic communication was proposed. The proposed frame synchronization structure is largely divided into two. First, the approximate position and frequency offset of the frame are obtained by non-coherent correlation and sliding Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method. Second, after compensating for the frequency error to the received signal, the exact position of the frame is obtained by coherent correlation method. Maritime experiments were conducted to confirm the performance of the 2-STEP frame synchronization structure. It was showed that the limitations of the non-coherent correlation and sliding FFT method can be verified when the power of the received signal was greatly reduced due to the channel characteristics. As a result, stable frame synchronization could be obtained by compensating for the frequency error and then using the coherent correlation method.

When the source waveform is unknown, the Green's function can be estimated by Ray-based Blind Deconvolution (RBD) based on the simple array signal processing. In previous papers, RBD was successfully demonstrated using simulation and experiments in shallow water environment. In this paper, we investigate the applicability of RBD for a long-range communication (e.g., 30 km, 60 km, and 90 km) in a deep water environment (1,000 m ~), using experimental data conducted in the east of Pohang, South Korea, in October 2018. Data results are presented to demonstrate Green's function estimation of a communication signal (2.2 kHz ~ 2.9 kHz) using a 16-element, 42-m long vertical array. The results show that the Green's function estimated from RBD is comparable to that of matched filter result. Additional communication performance at a maximum range of 90 km will be also presented.

기상재해를 극소화하기 위해서는 그 원인이 되는 기상현상의 규모와 거동을 명확히 감시하고 분석하여 신뢰성 있는 예측정보가 제공되어야 한다. 최근 위험기상 발생빈도가 증가하여 초단기 및 위험기상 예보의 정확도 향상을 위한 고품질 레이더 정보 활용 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 레이더는 전자파를 이용하여 강우의 양과 분포, 이동특성을 관측하는 장비로써 우리나라는 초단기적 위험기상 대응능력 향상을 추진하기 위한 목적으로 첨단 성능의 이중편파레이더 관측망을 구축하고 있다. 국내 기상관측용 레이더는 기상예보(기상청), 홍수예보(환경부), 군 작전 기상지원(국방부) 등으로 각 기관이 개별적으로 설치운영 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 관계부처에서 운영하고 있는 레이더의 합성장을 이용하여 강수장의 상관성을 기반으로 이류(advection) 특성을 도출하였다. 정확도 있는 이류특성을 도출하기 위하여 시간해상도는 10분을 적용하였으며 가우시안 필터링 기법을 적용하여 강수장 상관분석을 수행하였다. 호우와 태풍을 대상으로 강수장의 이류패턴을 추출하여 강수장의 이동방향 및 속도를 고려한 강수량 예측기법의 적용성을 평가하였다. 본 연구 결과는 격자형 강수예측정보를 제공하여 AI 홍수예보 및 수치예보 모델의 초기조건 입력 등에 활용되어 기후변동성에 따른 대국민 안전 실현을 확보하는데 기후변화 대응전략의 핵심기술로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 덧붙어, 4차 산업혁명에 따른 수문기상 빅 데이터(big data) 통합 플랫폼을 구축하여 고해상도 홍수대응 기술 및 GIS 및 모바일 시스템을 연계한 실시간 기후재해 예·경보가 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

기후변화로 인한 강수량의 지역별, 계절별 불균형은 홍수로 인한 하천 범람피해뿐만 아니라 하천의 건천화로 인한 수생태, 수질, 경관 저해 등의 피해를 야기하고 있다. 이와 같은 기후변화로 인한 수자원의 영향을 평가하기 위해 기상 현상을 재현하고 예측하기 위한 기후모형과 이와 연계하여 지표의 수문 순환과 에너지 순환과정을 모의할 수 있는 지표수문모형의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 그러나, 하천유출에 대한 모니터링시스템 체계를 구축하기 위해 지표수문모형을 사용하여 하천의 장기유출을 모의하는 시도는 국내에서는 아직 일반화되지 않고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 횡방향 유출흐름 모의가 가능하도록 개선된 격자형 지표수문모형인 Common Land Model(CoLM)의 우리나라 하천유역에 대한 장기하천유출 모의 적용성을 확인하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 4대강(한강, 낙동강, 금강, 섬진강)의 자연유역을 대상으로 주요 댐 상류유역에 대하여 CoLM이 필요로 하는 지표경계조건자료와 기상입력자료를 구축하고 모형의 주요 매개변수에 대한 검보정을 수행하여 각 지점별 최적의 장기하천유출 모의결과를 도출하고자 한다. CoLM의 지표경계조건자료 구축을 위해서는 고해상도의 인공위성자료 및 지점측정자료를 수집하고, 기상입력자료 구축을 위해서는 기상청에서 제공하는 기상자료를 수집하여, 모형의 계산시간 및 지역예보모델에 많이 사용되고 있는 공간해상도를 고려한 모형의 입력자료는 30km 계산 격자망 자료로 구축될 예정이다. CoLM의 모의성능 평가 및 결과분석을 위해 총 30년(1990-2019) 기간에 대한 모의결과 중, 초기 10년은 초기조건 수립을 위한 안정화 기간으로 제외하고, 다음 10년(2000~2009)은 보정기간으로 설정하고 마지막 10년(2010~2019)은 검정기간으로 설정하여 지표수문모형의 장기하천유출모의 적용성이 평가될 예정이다. 본 논문의 결과는 향후 우리나라 주요 유역에 대해 이상기후로 인한 하천 수자원 및 수생태의 영향을 분석하고, 하천의 건천화 대책 수립 등에 대한 기초정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.
