In this paper, we designed 1 chip IC for 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer used for various IoT/M2M mobile devices such as smartphone, wearable device and etc. We especially focused on analysis of gyroscope noise and proposed new architecture for removing various noise generated by gyroscope MEMS and IC. Gyroscope, accelerometer and geo-magnetic sensors are usually used to detect user motion or to estimate moving distance, direction and relative position. It is very important element to designing a low noise IC because very small amount of noise may be accumulated and affect the estimated position or direction. We made a mathematical model of a gyroscope sensor, analyzed the frequency characteristics of MEMS and circuit, designed a low noise, compact and low power 1 chip 6-axis inertial sensor IC including 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer. As a result, designed IC has 0.01dps/${\sqrt{Hz}}$ of gyroscope sensor noise density.

The duty-cycle synchronization among mobile sensor nodes with energy-harvesting is very important. The nodes should keep their duty-cycle same to others as much as possible because they have to cooperate each other and to consume energy efficiently. The distribution of node position in network affects not only node connectivity but also the active time of synchronized nodes, and it relates to network life-time finally. In this paper, we introduce a network topology change algorithm (TCA) for energy-harvesting mobile sensor networks based on self-synchronized duty-cycling. The algorithm tries to change a network topology into a balanced topology where the mobile sensor nodes are unified according to the density of the number of nodes. For TCA, both fluid flow algorithm and flock dispersion algorithm are proposed and they are evaluated through the simulation in agent based modeling language. TCA is applied to the energy-harvesting mobile sensor networks to improve the synchronization of duty-cycle and to reduce the variation of energy consumption among nodes.

Abnormal current-voltage characteristics of an oxide semiconductor have been investigated and a novel method of detecting reducing gases utilizing self-heating mechanism of sensing layer without an additional heater has been developed. Planar-type sensors based on WO3-doped SnO2 were fabricated using a screen-printing technique. The applied voltage across the sensing layer caused heating of the sensing layer and the current abruptly varied upon exposure to a gas mostly as a result of surface reactions. A unique and fascinating aspect of the gas sensing scheme is that no additional heater is necessary for detection. The new sensing method has been applied to C2H5OH gas in this preliminary work.

We propose a multiplexed fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor network for vessel monitoring to measure the variation of strain and temperature by environmental perturbation based on code division multiple access (CDMA). The center wavelength of FBG was linearly changed by environmental perturbation such as strain and temperature variation so that we could be monitoring the state of sensors. A RSOA was used as optical broadband source and which was modulated by using pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) signal. The correlation peak of reflected signal from sensor networks was measured. In this paper, we used the sliding correlation techniques for high speed response and dynamic rage of sensors.

This paper reports on the design and installation of a thermostat to keep the temperature of the fluxgate magnetometer constant and the data stability evaluation after installation. The thermostat was installed at the Icheon Geomagnetic Observatory operated by the Korean Space Weather Center of National Radio Research Agency. It was designed in consideration of stability of temperature control against safety incident, potential effects on magnetic field measurement, and the temperature control efficiency. After the temperature control device was installed, it was confirmed that the temperature was constantly maintained at the level of 20℃. Delta F and baseline values were used to evaluate geomagnetic data stability, and it was confirmed that delta F and baseline fluctuations were reduced after installation of the thermostat.

An autopilot system of a ship is very important for a safe and convenient navigation, which is realized with getting an azimuth data from a gyrocompass, a magnetic compass and a GPS(Global Positioning System) compass. Magnetic compass an azimuth error is generated by a vessel magnetism material such as steels. The magnetic pole is detected by the magnetic field sensor, it does not coincide with the true north, therefore, the detected azimuth data can not but accompany error. In this paper, in order to detect the minimum change of azimuth data which generates errors of azimuth information, a search algorithm using the Kalman Filtering method is utilized. The digital electronic compass is designed with the integration algorithm using the merits of an earth's magnetic field sensor and a GPS receiver.

Available shafts with gears at each end of the cylinder-shaped steel are widely used as power train components for automobiles. In order to automate the production of a geared shaft, there are problems to be solved. After one side of the cylinder is cut in gears, one of the problems is to determine the position of the cylinder which has been already cut. The shaft is then to be fed ahead with geared position to the chuck with jaws in geared shape. The other problem is to acquire information on an angular position of the shaft to fit to the jaws of the chuck. This paper deals with the magnetic detection sensor of gear position. Coils are installed in two places. Self-inductances of coils are detected by the changes of reluctance and are then compared. The magnetic analysis also has been carried out by the finite element analysis (FEM).

다목적 실용위성 1호로 2000년 6월 28일에서 2001년 8월 1일까지의 고도 685 Km, 22:50LT 지역시(Local Time)인 상부 이온층을 조사하였다. 위성에 탑재된 이온층 측정 센서(Ionospheric Measurement Sensor)로부터 전자 온도와 전자 밀도 데이터를 얻었으며, 자기 위도로 -60$^{\circ}$ ~ +60$^{\circ}$사이의 중ㆍ저위도의 데이터를 분석하였다. 관측 기간은 지자기 변화를 나타내는 Kp index나 태양 활동을 나타내는 F10.7이 크게 변화한 태양 극대기 기간으로, 특히 일변화의 F10.7을 통해 전자 온도와 전자 밀도의 변화를 조사하였다. 측정 시간이 야간(22:50)임에도 불구하고 태양 활동을 나타내는 F10.7에 따라 전자 온도와 전자 밀도가 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. F10.7이 250이하일 때는 F10.7이 커질수록 전자밀도는 거의 선형적으로 증가하였으며 전자온도도 증가는 하나 그 정도는 전자 밀도보다 작게 나타났다. F10.7이 250을 넘어가면 전자 밀도가 일정하거나 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 부가적으로 비슷한 고도의 DMSP-F15의 데이터와 비교를 통해 다목적 실용위성 1호의 관측결과의 신뢰성을 높였다.

이동하는 물체와 가시선 통신링크를 유지하기 위해서는 추적안테나 시스템이 필수적이다. 방위각과 고각계산을 위해서는 이동체와 안테나시스템의 GPS값을 이용하는데, 이때 두 좌표계의 동일성을 유지하기 위해서 초기에 지자기센서나 beacon등을 이용하여 보정을 하게된다. 하지만 지형적으로 지자기교란이 생기기 쉬운 장소에서는 정확한 보정이 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 초기에 RF신호의 수신세기추적을 통해서 신호의 발생 위치를 검출하고 검출된 위치까지의 방위각 보정값을 계산하여 통신링크개설 후 수신된 GPS값에 보정값을 적용하는 추적안테나 시스템구현에 대해 기술한다.

In this paper, we propose the method of designing an extended kalman filter in order to accurately measure the position of the spatial-phase system using sensor fusion. We use the quaternion as a state variable in expressing the attitude of an object. Then, the attitude of rigid body can be calculated from the accelerometer and magnetometer by applying the Gauss-Newton method. We estimate the changes of state by using the measurements obtained from the gyroscope, the quaternion, and the vision informations by ARVR_SDK. To increase the accuracy of estimation, we designed and implemented the extended kalman filter, which showed excellent ability to adjust and compensate the sensor error. As a result, we could experimentally demonstrate that the reliability of the attitude estimation value can be significantly increased.
