This paper deals with an analysis of multipath which affect a transmission performance in underwater acoustic channel. Underwater acoustic channel with multipath structure is introduced to mathematical modelling for a basin environment. In this paper, SMR(Signal to Multipath Ratio) which is defined as a parameter of multipath's effect is presented as a mathematical equation, and the equation of SMR is simulated by MATLAB program. Furthermore, this paper is also dealt with an implementation of modulation and demodulation system for acoustic transmission. Acoustic Transmission is limited by frequency bandwidth, so $\pi/4 QPSK$(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) methods which is very useful at frequency ]imitation and FM(Frequency Modulation) are used at acoustic communication system. This implemented hybrid modulation/demodulation system is used as an analog board of image transmission system. In this system, adaptive equalization for reducing the multipath effect and baseline JPEG used for an image compressing are also stated.

A general expression for the beam patterns of various synthetic aperture(SA) techniques was derived based on a unified SA model. This model was used to analyze and compare the performance of existing SA methods. Based on the theoretical studies, we propose a new synthetic aperture technique that is best suitable for the linear-scan imaging. The proposed method enables dynamic tow-way focusing in real imaging so that the B-mode image resolution can be greatly improved. Compared to the conventional focusing technique, the focused beam pattern by the proposed shows the mainlobe width reduced by half and comparable sidelobe levels. Computer simulation results demonstrated the validity of the theoretical analysis and the proposed SA method.

In this paper, we first propose a power-and-bandwidth efficient cooperative transmission protocol where a sensor node assists two others for their data transmission to a clusterhead in WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) using LEACH (Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy). Then we derive its closed-form BER expression which Is also a general BER one for the decode-and-forward protocol (DF) and Prove that the proposed protocol performs as same as the conventional DF but obtains higher spectral efficiency. A variety of numerical results reveal the cooperation can save the network power up to 11dB over direct transmission at BER of $10^{-3}$.

RFID/USN is considered as a key convergence technology in future ubiquitous network. In RFID/USN, the power saving issue receives a great attention due to limited battery lifetime of sensor node. In this paper, we propose a new power saving algorithm, which takes advantage of long-term sleep period. To provide a full network connectivity and balance the battery consumption among sensor nodes, the proposed algorithm intelligently selects the long-term sleep sensor nodes. With mathematical analysis and simulations, we prove that the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the power consumption of sensor nodes as compared to existing algorithms.

In this paper, we propose two different types of cooperative transmission protocols, referred to as spatial multiplexing with receive diversity (SMRD), that are bandwidth-efficient. We show that the BER performance can be significantly improved with a proper design of SMRD protocol under the AF (Amplify-and-Forward) and the DF (Decode-and-Forward) modes of relaying, when there is no interference among all symbols transmitted in the same time slot. BER analysis and our simulation result show that the proposed transmission protocol achieves a significant gain over no-cooperation (direct transmission) without any bandwidth expansion.

In general, the performance of movable nozzle used for thrust vector control in solid rocket motor is estimated on the basis of the effective pivot of nozzle. However, it is nearly impossible to define the exact effective pivot by the mathematical model or experimental technique owing to pivot dynamics. In this paper, pivot dynamic properties were investigated by ADAMS simulation technique and trajectory of the exact effective pivot was modelled by the artificial neural network. Comparison of the proposed method was made with the virtual movable nozzle (computer simulation) to verify the method, and showed good agreement. Therefore, the proposed method will be applicable to predict the effective pivot of movable nozzle during bench or ground test.

This paper investigates a PI control problem for the evaporator superheat, i.e., temperature difference between the two-phase region and the exit region of an evaporator, for multi-type air-conditioning/refrigeration system. Mathematical model describing the characteristics of compressor, condenser, evaporator, and electronic expansion valve are first derived. Then, two transfer function from the current input applied to an electronic expansion valve to the wall-temperatures of an evaporator tube at two-phase region and superheated region, respectively, are derived. The stability of the closed loop system with the PI controller designed it analyzed by using Nyquist stability criterion. Simulation results are provided.

This paper presents a detection and ranging algorithm for a high-speed targets in the high PRF radar. We show, unlike the conventional methods, it firstly estimates Doppler frequency with a quasi-periodic pulse train prior to range processing. The estimated Doppler frequency can compensate the phase error enbeded in the received signal, which makes the signal integrated coherently in the range direction and localizes the target's signiture in low SNR. We present the derivation of the proposed algorithm and discuss how the system parameters such as the range/Doppler sampling condition, processing time and Doppler estimation error affect the performance of the proposed algorithm, which is verified by simulations.

In this paper, we have proposed the interference analysis method which uses both an interference probability model at the PHY layer of RFID system and the DTMC model at the MAC layer of USN system. Using the proposed method, we have performed sharing analysis between passive RFID and USN systems at the Korean RFID/USN frequency bands. If 1% performance degradation of USN system is allowed, RFID and USN systems can share the frequency bands where channel number is greater or equal to 20 on condition that radius of protection area is greater than 300 m.
