We develop the Dual Head Star Tracker (DHST) to obtain the attitude information of science and Technology Satellite2 (STSAT-2). Because most of star sensor has only one head camera, star recognition is impossible when camera point to sun or earth. We therefore considered the DHST which can obtain star images from two spots simultaneously. That is, even though we fail a star recognition from an image obtained by one camera, it is possible to recognize stars from an image obtained by the other camera. In this paper, we introduce engineer model (EM) of the DHST and propose a star recognition and a star track algorithm.

This paper proposed an efficient algorithm for tension sensing smart fence system with wireless sensor transmission module installation and alarming services. The wired transmission system demonstrates high accuracy and low latency, but the cost is expensive and transmission error may occur. For these reasons, this paper presented to use wireless transmission communication using Zigbee module technology in order to decrease delay and latency and solve the battery issues.

본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크의 다양한 응용 환경 및 상/하향 트래픽 스트림의 특성에 따라 유연하게 적용할 수 있는 새로운 매체접근제어 프로토콜을 제안한다. HiPERMAC(Hierarchically-Paired Evolutionary Radio MAC)이라고 불리는 제안 매체접근제어방식은 다양한 클러스터링 방식에 의하여 구축된 다 계층 (Hierarchical) 네트워크에서 별도의 대역 확산 전송방식이나 다수의 주파수 채널을 사용하지 않고, 단 2개의 시간 구간을 공간적으로 재활용하여 N 계층의 개별적인 통신이 가능한 구조를 제공한다. 즉, 제안방식은 단일 주파수 개념을 이용하여 계층화된 우선 센서 네트워크를 계층적 이중화(Hierarchically-Paired)하고 이때 발생하는 클러스터 간 상호 간섭의 요인들을 시간 및 공간적으로 분리하여 망 확장성과 자원 효율성을 극대화 하는 새로운 매체접근 제어 방식 이다.

A study has been made on the fabrication of a dual mode(a longitudinal and shear mode) ultrasonic sensor using a single PZT piezoelectric ceramic element. We investigated the mechanism of the dual mode sensor that generated both of the longitudinal and the shear waves simultaneously with the single PZT element. Through the analysis of analytic wave propagation equations, all the possible crystal cuts have been examined to determine appropriate Euler transformation angles for efficient excitations of the dual modes. We studied the performance of a PZT element as a function of its rotation angle so that its efficiency is optimized to excite the two waves of equal strength. Experimental examination of the waveform on a delay line(STS303) setup confirms that the ultrasonic sensor can transmit and detect both longitudinal and shear waves simultaneously.

In this paper, a design method for an enhanced-sensitivity microwave sensor based on microstrip defected ground structure was studied for the permittivity measurement of planar dielectric substrates. The proposed sensor was designed by modifying the ridge structure of an H-shaped aperture into the shape of a capacitor symbol. The sensitivity of the proposed sensor was compared with that of a conventional sensor based on a double-ring complementary split ring resonator(DR-CSRR). Two sensors were designed and fabricated on a 0.76-mm-thick RF-35 substrate so that the transmission coefficient would resonate at 1.5 GHz in the absence of the substrate under test. Five types of taconic substrates with a relative permittivity ranging from 2.17 to 10.2 were selected asthe substrate under test. Experiment results show that the sensitivity of the proposed sensor, which is measured by the shift in the resonant frequency of the transmission coefficient, is 1.31 to 1.62 times higher than that of the conventional DR-CSRR-based sensor.

In this paper, the optical axis alignment(OAA) of an infrared sensor(IRS) using a microwave sensor(MWS) was presented as a method of an axis alignment to minimize the problems that could be caused by the misalignment of the two sensors in the missile including the dual-mode sensor. The azimuth(AZ) and elevation(EL) angles of the two targets used for each sensor test were calculated by using the transformation equation and the test results of the MWS and IRS, and then the proposed OAA was verified by comparing the angles. Furthermore, the validity of the proposed OAA was demonstrated by confirming the abnormality of the OAA through the test results of the electro optical head(EOH) of the IRS which was equipped with a tilt on the missile fuselage.

CW Radar Sensors can be categorized into Single and Dual by its IF output type. Dual IF type is used for detecting the direction of moving objects. However, Dual IF type has more complicated circuitry than Single IF type and higher cost due to more parts required. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for Single IF type CW radar sensors to detect the direction of moving objects. It performs FFT on signals created at IF output when an object moves and determines approach, stop and recede according to amplitude variations. In order to verify the algorithm, a function generator is used to create a virtual signal and confirmed that it accurately detects the directions according to amplitude variations.
