GPS radio occultation is a remote sensing technique probing atmospheric properties based on the fact that GPS signal is refracted and delayed by atmosphere. The FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC mission jointly developed by the USA and Taiwan is providing about 2500 occultation soundings a day on the near real-time basis. The Korean KOMPSAT-5/AOPOD system is preparing to launch for monitoring troposphere and ionosphere using a dual frequency GPS receiver and the antenna for occultation data acquisition. In this paper, we examine the methods for signal processing and the geometry analysis for GPS radio occultation, and look into the retrieval techniques for the temperature and humidity of troposphere and the electron density and scintillation of ionosphere. Using these atmospheric properties, we aim to derive the strategies for applying GPS radio occultation to space weather, for example, ionospheric TEC(total electron content) analysis for earthquake monitoring and the Open API(application programming interface) development for more effective data service.

Using single carrier frequency RFID system in one-to-multiple wireless communications, might be generated data loss because of data collisions. Conventional Anti-collision method prevent data loss from data collisions which are binary tree method and ALOHA. However, those two preventive measures also have week points which are strongly dependent on the time and space when passing through the recognition area. This paper suggests the full-length instruction code method which fits in to half-duplex method, prevents data collision effectively by calculating the non-transmitting time of multiple tags considering approaching time to the recognition area. After full-length instruction code method test using 13.56MHz bandwidth RFID system shows that full-length instruction code method could make better result than any other methods. Moreover, the record shows O(n) result after analyzing O-notation of conventional time-domain procedure.

The surface microcrack over a few tens of micrometers is one of severe problems of a steel wire rod to lead to the failure of the final products, so the method to evaluate crack depth has been required to develop. This work investigates the feasibility of electromagnetic acoustic resonance (EMAR) for this problem. EMAR is the method for measurement of resonant features using electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT). Generally, EMAR is sensitive to small variation of the structures and easy to apply it to the industrial field because of the feature of noncontact measurement. Through several EMAR experiments, the change of the resonant frequencies and attenuation in reverberation has been observed. The results confirms that the surface cracks of around 100 micrometer depth can be detected successfully with the present method.

Providing a precise positioning information is the primary characteristics of GPS. The relative positioning technique which utilizes the common measurements between a GPS reference station and a user is generally used to do the generation of a precise positioning. But if user is far from a GPS reference site, the properties of medium penetrated by GPS signals will be different from each other, It is difficult to eliminate the error sources such as the ionosphere and the troposphere effectively by the double differencing method. In this study the additional error correction values with the ionosphere and the troposphere to the data processing have applied. As a result, the positioning accuracy of fourteen out of seventeen testing sites were improved by appling the error correction values. We also analysed the improved rate of the positioning accuracy by the baseline.

One dimensional inhomogeneous aperture modulation effects on the MTF of optical system was investigated. The lens undertest was a doublet made in Korea. It was 10 mm effective diameter, 87.8 mm effective focal length. The ray-fans and spot diagrams were caluculated and presented on the picture for on-axis and off-axis (field of view, 1$^{\circ}$ and 2$^{\circ}$). Aperture modulation was carried out by positioning a aperture modulator close contacted with the lens undertest. We bought two modulators from Edmud Company in U.S.A. One was linear type and the other was stepped type. The MTFs were measured on the best of focus for unmodulated apertue where the MTF has the largest value for 60 c/mm and were compared with one another. The MTFs of modulated apertures had a little lower values than the MTF of unmodulated aperture for on-axis but in the case off-axis, the values are highly improved as much as the wider field of view by modulating on the aperture.

초지 공정은 wire, roll, pump등의 회전체로 이루어진 공정이 거의 대부분이기 때문에 주기적으로 변동하는 성분들이 많고, QCS(Quality Control System) 및 DCS(Distributed Co n ntrol System)상에 서 의 자동 Control Logic에 의 한 불안정 (Fluctuation)요소도 내 재 되 어 있 어 이에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 이러한 주기적인 변동은 제품의 여러 물성(평량, 두께, 광택 도등) 에 영향을 미치게 되어 품질의 균일성이나 프로파일에 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 공정상이나 품질에서 주기적으로 변동하는 성분을 추출하여 공정 각 성분과 연관을 시키변 품질에 나타나는 주기적 성분의 요인이 어느 부분에서 기인하는 지를 직접적으로 찾아낼 수 있고 이의 개선을 통해 품질의 균일성 및 프로파일 향상을 꾀할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Air padded type 헤드박스 초지기에서 DAQ(Data Acquisition) System 을 이용하여 각 공정별로 MD(Machine Direction)방향으로의 변동을 측정하고 제품의 물성 변동과 비교하였다. DAQ System은 각 공정상의 전기적 신호를 높은 주파수 영역까지 다채널로 동시에 받 아 들일 수 있는 장치로 이 시스템을 활용하여 공정상의 Machine chest 농도, Stock box 유량 및 레벨, Fan pump RPM, Cleaner압력, Screen압력, H!B압력 및 레벨, Silo level등 공 정요소의 변동상태와 상호영향을 분석하였다. 이러한 공정 각 요소의 변동과 MD 방향의 제품 물성 값(Tapio, Paper Variation Analyzer에 대한 비교 분석결과 제품 평량에서 주기적인 변동성분을 확인할 수 있었고 이중 큰 비 중을 차지하는 것이 fνB 레벨 변동주기와 일치하는 것을 찾아낼 수 있었다. 이에 근거하여 D DCS system의 control 요소인 튜닝 parameter(P,I 값)들을 미 세 조정 하여 제 품의 MD방향 평량 변동 진폭을 기존 수준의 30% 수준으로 감소시킬 수 있었다. 그 결과 COV(표준편차/ 평량)값을 0.8-1.2%에서 0.6-0.8%수준으로 낮출 수 있었고 이에 따라 CD (Cross Direction) 방향의 제품 Profile도 함께 개선되는 효과를 거둘 수 있었다.

The satellite clock anomalies, one of the abnormal signal factors of the GPS satellites, can have a significant impact on the GPS measurements. However, it can be difficult to detect the anomalies of the satellites clock before the range of the satellites clock error becomes bigger than the range of the other factors, due to the measurement including error of the orbit, ionosphere delay, troposphere delay, multipath and receiver clock. In order to perform quick and accurate detection by minimization of critical range in anomalies of the satellites clock, this paper suggested a solution to detect precise anomalies of the satellites clock after application of carrier smoothing filter from measurement by dual-frequency and adjustment of errors which can be occurred by other factor and the receiver clock errors. The performance of the proposed method was confirmed by comparing to the satellite clock biases which are provided by IGS.

This paper deals with the design and manufacturing technique of EQM(Engineering Qualification Model) of input multiplexer(IMUX) for the Ku-band satellite transponder. Channel dropping method by circulator chain structure is adopted for demultiplexing each channel. External equalizers are attached behind channel filters fur reduction of group delay variation and amplitude variation simultaneously. Both channel filters and equalizers adopted dual-mode technique in design f3r mass and volume reduction. Channel filters are designed to have 8-pole elliptic response and equalizers to be of 2-pole reflection type. For good temperature stability characteristics, INVAR36 material is used for channel filters and external equalizers. Vibration test, Thermal Vacuum Test, and EMC test have been performed on input multiplexer and it is shown to be suitable for Ku-band satellite transponder.
