Damages by heavy snow does not occur very often, but when it does, it causes damage to a wide area. To mitigate snow damage, it is necessary to know, in advance, the depth of snow that causes damage in each region. However, snow depths are measured at observatory locations, and it is difficult to understand the spatial distribution of snow depth that causes damage in a region. To understand the spatial distribution of snow depth, the point measurements are interpolated. However, estimating spatial distribution of snow depth is not easy when the number of measured snow depth is small and topographical characteristics such as altitude are not similar. To overcome this limit, satellite images such as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can be analyzed using Differential Interferometric SAR (DInSAR) method. DInSAR uses two different SAR images measured at two different times, and is generally used to track minor changes in topography. In this study, the spatial distribution of snow depth was estimated by DInSAR analysis using dual polarimetric IW mode C-band SAR data of Sentinel-1B satellite operated by the European Space Agency (ESA). In addition, snow depth was estimated using geostationary satellite Chollian-2 (GK-2A) to compare with the snow depth from DInSAR method. As a result, the accuracy of snow cover estimation in terms with grids was about 0.92% for DInSAR and about 0.71% for GK-2A, indicating high applicability of DInSAR method. Although there were cases of overestimation of the snow depth, sufficient information was provided for estimating the spatial distribution of the snow depth. And this will be helpful in understanding regional damage-causing snow depth.

In a Single Frequency Network (SFN) for Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) terrestrial digital television (DTV) system, the interferences induced by the multiple transmitters and/or repeaters using same frequency are unavoidable. To ease the interference handing in the SFN for ATSC DTV system, transmitter identification (TxID) signal is recommended in the ATSC terrestrial DTV system. The TxID signal is embedded in the ATSC DTV signal and transmitted from each transmitter and repeater within the SFN and in ATSC recommended practice (RP) A/111, Kasami sequence is recommended as the TxID signal. In this paper, we propose an additional data transmission scheme using the TxID signal. In the proposed scheme, the Kasami sequence not only acts as the conventional TxID of the SFN for ATSC terrestrial DTV system but also carriers the additional data bits on its polarity and the code phase.

In Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, timing synchronization in uplink is accomplished by an initial uplink synchronization called an initial ranging process. The Base Station's receiver synchronizes the symbol timing to specific user's symbol and the other user's symbols have some Symbol Timing Offset (STO). Linear phase shift is occurred by each user's STO in an OFDMA symbol. The Multiple Access Interference (MAI) caused by the summation of each user's linear phase shift degrades the performance of ranging code detection. In this paper, we propose an initial ranging symbol structure with common ranging code for phase shift estimation and compensation. We car estimate the average of phase shift that is generated by each user's STO and compensate this phase shift by using common ranging code. This scheme will suppress the MAI and provide better detection performance than conventional process.

In the next generation mobile communication systems, hybrid massive multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) can be used to highly improve an achievable rate without increasing the number of RF chains. Recently, successive-interference-cancellation (SIC) based hybrid precoder design scheme was proposed to reduce the complexity. However, since this scheme uses simple diagonal matrix for baseband precoding, it cannot solve an interference problem between the transmitted streams. Also, there is a limitation for improving the data rate because of the use of one phase shifter for analog precoding. To solve these problems, in this paper we propose a digital precoding based on the SVD of the effective channel and an analog precoding using two phase shifters. Through simulation, we show that the proposed scheme has better achievable rate and SINR performances than the conventional one.

Despite its benefit in engine thermal efficiency, gasoline-direct-injection (GDI) engines generate substantial particulate matter (PM) emissions compared to conventional port-fuel-injection (PFI) engines. One of the reasons for this is that the spray collapse caused by the spray-to-spray interaction forms the locally rich fuel-air mixture and increases the fuel wall film. Previous studies have investigated the spray collapse phenomenon through the macroscopic observation of spray behavior using laser optical techniques, but it is somewhat difficult to understand the interaction between sprays that is initiated in the near-nozzle region within 10 mm from the nozzle exit. In this study, the spray structure, droplet size and velocity data were obtained using an X-ray imaging technique from the near-nozzle to the downstream of the spray to investigate the spray-to-spray interaction and discuss the effects of spray collapse on local droplet size and velocity distribution. It was found that as the ambient density increases, the spray collapse was promoted due to the intensified spray-to-spray interaction, thereby increasing the local droplet size and velocity from the near-nozzle region as a result of droplet collision/coalescence.

It is well known that satellite synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) has been widely used for the observation of surface displacement owing to earthquakes, volcanoes, and subsidence very precisely. In wetlands where vegetation exists on the surface of the water, it is possible to create a water level change map with high spatial resolution over a wide area using the InSAR technique. Currently, a number of imaging radar satellites are in operation, and most of them support a ScanSAR mode observation to gather information over a large area at once. The Cienaga Grande de Santa Marta (CGSM) wetland, located in northern Colombia, is a vast wetland developed along the Caribbean coast. The CGSM wetlands face serious environmental threats from human activities such as reclamation for agricultural uses and residential purposes as well as natural causes such as sea level rise owing to climate change. Various restoration and protection plans have been conducted to conserve these invaluable environments in recognition of the ecological importance of the CGSM wetlands. Monitoring of water level changes in wetland is very important resources to understand the hydrologic characteristics and the in-situ water level gauge stations are usually utilized to measure the water level. Although it can provide very good temporal resolution of water level information, it is limited to fully understand flow pattern owing to its very coarse spatial resolution. In this study, we evaluate the L-band ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 ScanSAR mode to observe the water level change over the wide wetland area using the radar interferometric technique. In order to assess the quality of the interferometric product in the aspect of spatial resolution and coherence, we also utilized ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 stripmap high-resolution mode observations.

GB-SAR (Ground-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar) 시스템은 지상에서 안테나의 정밀한 일축 제어를 통해 합성 구경(synthetic aperture) 효과를 얻어 높은 해상도의 영상을 얻는 레이더 스캐너(Radar Scanner) 의 일종이다. GB-SAR는 장기간에 걸쳐 안정 적으로 마이크로파 영상 및 위상을 얻을 수 있기 때문에，SAR간섭기법(interferometry)을 통하여 비교적 안정된 산란체의 시간에 따른 변위를 cm 혹은 mm 정밀도로 정량적으로 얻을 수 있으며, 또한 긴밀도(coherence)를 통해 산란체의 안정성을 정성적으로 추출해 낼 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 GB-SAR 시스템의 개발을 소개하고 여러 가지 영상 획득 모드를 통하여 얻어진 SAR 영상， DInSAR, Cross-Track InSAR, ${\triangle}k-InSAR$, PSInSAR, 및 SAR Polarimetry 등 GB-SAR 시스템의 다양한 응용 가능성을 간략하게 보였다.

여러 음원들에 의해 형성된 파동장내에서 각 신호음의 주파수 특성과 시간 지연 (time delay)을 추정할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 이 알고리즘의 관련 수식은 두 개의 상호 간섭하는 신호가 입사하고 여기에 주변 환경에 의한 랜덤 잡음이 첨가된다고 가정하여 유도되었으며 두 개 이상의 신호음이 있는 상황에 대해 확장이 가능하다. 본 논문에서 시간 지연이 일정한 수신 신호 영역에 등간격으로 놓여진 수신기로부터 각 센서에 수신된 신호의 스펙트럼은 M개의 센서에 대해 K개의 음원 스펙트럼과 K개의 조정 벡터(steering vector) 의 선형 조합(linear combination)으로 주파수에서 모델된다. 각 음원의 주파수 특성과 음원 으로 들어오는 신호의 입사각을 결정하기 위하여 본 알고리즘은 전달 행렬(transfer matrix) 을 계산하고 그 전달 행렬의 고유값(eigenvalue)과 고유벡터(eigenvector)를 분석한다. 이 고 유값들은 복소수이며 그 크기는 진폭 변환 계수를 결정한다. 위상은 수신기의 간격으로부터 시간 지연을 결정하는 기울기를 갖는 주파수의 선형 함수이다. 전달 행렬에의 입력 자료들 은 동일 간격 소자간의 cross-power spectra이다.

시분할 다중화 방식을 이용한 정전 구동형 XY 스테이지의 새로운 위치 검출 방법을 제안한다. 각축의 고정자에 90도의 위상차를 가지는 여기(excitation) 신호를 주입하여 스테이지와 연결된 1개의 charge amplifier와 S/H를 이용하여 x축과 y축 방향의 위치를 검출한다. charge amplifier의 파라미터는 DC 이득이 크고 또한 신호간 간섭이 발생하지 않도록 설정한다. 제안된 방법은 XY 스테이지의 디지털 서보 제어기의 구성요소인 S/H를 사용하기 때문에 기존의 방식과는 달리 위치 신호의 검출이 안정적이고 반송 신호에 의한 고조파 왜곡과 복조 과정에서 발생되는 지연을 현저히 줄일 수 있으며 간단하게 구현할 수 있다.
