A thin film oxide semiconductor micro gas sensor array which shows only 60 mW of power consumption at an operating temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ has been fabricated using microfabrication and micromachining techniques. Excellent thermal insulation of the membrane is achieved by the use of a double-layer structure of $0.1\mum\; thick\; Si_3N_4 \;and\; 1 \mum$ thick phosphosilicate glass (PSG) prepared by low-pressure chemical-vapor deposition (LPCVD) and atmospheric-pressure chemical-vapor deposition (APCVD), respectively. The sensor array consists of such thin film oxide semiconductor sensing materials as 1 wt.% Pd-doped $SnO_2,\; 6 wt.% A1_2O_3-doped\; ZnO,\; WO_3$/ and ZnO. Baseline resistances of the four sensing materials were found to be stable after the aging for three days at $300^{\circ}C$. The thin film oxide semiconductor micro gas sensor array exhibited resistance changes usable for subsequent data processing upon exposure to various gases and the sensitivity strongly depended on the sensing layer materials.

We propose a method to use a state transition model so that the sensing object can be distinguished through classification of signal patterns sensed by a sensor array. Focusing on the design of the model that is able to distinguish the sensed object more exactly, we present an idea in which the modeling elements, 'states' and 'transitions' are defined as each same-sized angle intervals into which the angle interval $(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2})$ is divided and the angle differences between adjacent signal values on sampling signal value sequence value sequence sensed from the sensor array in the uniform time interval, respectively. In addition we show the usefulness of our model through experiments.

This paper presents a compact double resolution scheme for the optical angle sensor based on 1-dimensional CMOS photodiode pixel array. All the pixels are divided into the even pixel and the odd pixel groups. The winner take all circuit is provided for each group. The proposed interpolation scheme increases the resolution by 2 from the winner addresses and winner values. The interpolation scheme can be implemented without any additional pixels or winner take all circuits and require only a comparator and a XOR gate. The proposed pixel array chip that has 336 photodiode pixels with $5.6{\mu}m$ pitch was fabricated with $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process and was assembled with a $50{\mu}m$ slit to form an angle sensor. The measured resolution is $0.1{\circ}$ with the proposed interpolation. The chip consumes 35mW and provides 8k samples per second.

There are two main streams for pattern classification technology One is the method using PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and the other is the method using Neural network. Both of them have merits and demerits. In general, using PCA is so simple while using neural network can improve algorithm continually. Algorithm using neural network needs so many calculations rendering very slow response. In this work, an attempt is made to develop algorithms adopting both PCA and neural network merits for simpler, but faster and smarter.

본 연구에서는 최적 빔포머 (optimal beamformer)를 이용하여, 높은 지향특성을 갖는 라우드스피커 어레이를 구성하였다. 센서 어레이 시스템에 널리 적용되는 빔포밍 방법은 상반성 (reciprocity)의 원리에 의하여 라우드스피커 시스템에도 적용이 가능하다. 음원의 개수 및 배치 간격과 같은 최적 빔포머의 설계 변수와 지향성과의 관계를 살펴보고, 잡음 증폭을 억제하기 위해 적용되는 안정화 계수 (stability factor)도 유용한 설계 변수로 활용하였다. 또한 라우드스피커 자체가 갖는 지향성과 반사와 산란 등을 고려하여 빔포머를 최적화하는 방법을 제안하였고, 이 방법을 통해 예측치와 실제 시스템과의 차이를 줄였다. 실행 예제로 실제 어레이 시스템을 구성하고, 모의 실험과 실제 측정을 수행하여 성능을 확인하였다.

If broadband interference signals are incident at an array of sensor/antenna elements, it is desirable to form a set of bnoadband nulls around the directions of the interference signals to improve the array performance. An efficient way of generating a broadband null is to synthesize a derivative null. The performance of a derivative null in a constrained linear array which is subjected to random variations with respect to array weight and element Position is discussed. Computer simulation results are presented.

This paper proposes a frequency-domain partially adaptive algorithm, called a censoring algorithm, to reduce the computational complexity of the frequency domain adaptive array. The proposed censoring algorithm determines the existence of interferences in the frequency-domain at each frequency bin using a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processor. The censoring algorithm adapts only those parts of the weights that correspond to the frequency bins expected to contain interferences. The censoring algorithm is also expanded to overcome the signal cancellation phenomenon caused by smart jammers. Accordingly, a censoring spatial smoothing, which combines the censoring algorithm with spatial smoothing, is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms are effective in removing interferences with only part of the computational complexity of conventional algorithms yet with the same level of performance.

A fiber laser of which wavelength was scanned by an intra-cavity FP (Fabry-Perot) filter was used to interrogate a fiber Bragg grating strain sensor array. We calculated the wavelength variation of the fiber laser using quadrature signal processing with an unbalanced M/Z (Mach-Zehnder) interferometer and time-delayed sampling technique. The calculated wavelengths are mapped to corresponding temporal reflection peaks from the sensor array, which enables more accurate and stable interrogation without the problems caused by the FP filter's nonlinear characteristics. Wavelength resolution of ∼20 pm was obtained in our experimental setup, which could have been greatly enhanced with faster phase modulation.

In order to analyze the impedance properties of high integrated impedance network with multiple terminals, this paper introduces the concept of impedance relation matrix(IRM). The linear relation between the terminal voltages and currents is represented in the form of IRM and this matrix can be utilized to calculate the impedance between any two terminals. Furthermore, IRM representation for 2-port impedance network can be also defined. The whole impedance network is divided into the several 2-port sub-networks and each sub-network is analyzed in a form of the IRM representation. An illustrated example is given to show that the proposed method is simple and effective to analyze the impedance of a sensor array which has a very large number of impedance elements.
