Pulse-like ground motions cause significant damage to structures. The presence and intensity of velocity pulses in seismic acceleration records can be evaluated by calculating the pulse indicator (PI). The PI values for the same earthquake differ by approximately 20 depending on the change in the incidence angle. In this study, PIs were evaluated according to changes in the incidence direction of seismic waves, and the seismic response and seismic fragility of bridge structures were evaluated using a pair of 40 seismic waves according to five PI percentiles (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100). The results show that as the PI of ground motion increases, the acceleration response spectrum also tends to increase proportionally. It was observed that the seismic response of the bridge increased with the PI of the seismic wave, which increased the seismic fragility. For seismic acceleration records with the maximum PI, the seismic fragility of piers tended to increase by approximately 25-27% on average compared to the case of seismic acceleration records with the minimum PI.

크라이오 펌프는 크기에 비해 상대적으로 큰 배기속도를 가지고 있고 자체 기체 방출이 적어 비교적 쉽고 빠르게 도달압력을 낮출 수 있다. 또 초고진공 펌프로서 경쟁 상대인 터보분자 펌프보다 기체 돌입에 대한 기계적 사고 가능성이 낮다. 그러나 흡착 패널의 온도에 민감하게 반응하는 배기 성능 측면에서 볼 때 크라이오 펌프의 대유량 및 펄스 기체 부하에 대한 성능 유지 및 회복능력은 의문의 여지가 있다. 크라이오 펌프의 기체부하에 대한 공식적인 성능지표로는 최대배기량(max. throughput)과 교차(crossover)값이 있다. 전자는 연속적인 유량[$Pa{\cdot}m^3/s$]에 대해, 또 후자는 일정 기체량[$Pa{\cdot}m^3$]에 대해 흡착 패널이 20 K를 넘지 않는 가동범위를 구하는 것이다. 교차값은 넓은 의미에서 펄스 기체부하에 대한 성능으로 볼 수도 있지만 원래 목적은 진공용기를 저진공 상태에서 고진공 상태로 전환하는 시점을 정하려는 데 있다. 펌프회사에서 제공하는 사양에는 대부분 아르곤 회복시간(Ar recovery time)이라는 지표가 있는데 이는 아르곤을 상당한 유량으로 흘리다 멈췄을 때 얼마나 빨리 기저 상태로 회복되는가를 나타낸다. 보통 사양서에 제시하지는 않지만 주로 크라이오 펌프의 재생상태를 알아보기 위해 사용하는 걸프(gulp) 시험이 있는데 일정량의 기체를 펄스로 도입한 후 압력변화를 기록하여 재생후 배기성능 회복 능력을 보는 것이다. 이들은 겉보기에 서로 다르지만 한편으로는 서로 중복되거나 연관성을 가지고 있어서 실용적인 면에서 절차들을 비교, 검토 및 개선하고 때에 따라서는 적절히 결합할 수 있는 방안을 모색할 필요성이 있다.

The resistive V dipole (RVD) is a V antenna with both arms loaded with the continuous Wu-King resistive profile. The RVD has many advantages for surface and subsurface probing, such as the ability to radiate a short pulse in a desired direction. The radiated pulse is simply related to the input pulse, e.g., derivative. In addition, it mostly eliminates the multiple reflections between the surface of the ground and the antenna because of its low radar cross section. The drawbacks of the RVD include the high input impedance and the difficulty in implementation. This paper presents ways to improve the accuracy and easiness of the implementation and to improve the low-frequency performance while maintaining the characteristics of the V antenna that are good for probing applications. The implemented antenna is used to form a bistatic radar to scan targets underground, and the result is imaged.

The dynamic responses in the subsurface outflow, surface saturation area, soil moisture storage are established by numerical experiments with Richards equation. In addition to this, the dynamical relationship between surface saturation area and subsurface outflow, and between surface saturation area and soil moisture storage are also determined by varying the hillslope shape, soil type, and boundary condition. The simulation results indicate that the dynamical relationships between surface saturation area and subsurface outflow, and between surface saturation area and soil moisture storage are approximated by the steadystate relationships. And the dynamic responses of subsurface outflow and surface saturation area are characterized by the double peaks although the rainfall pattern is asimple pulse input. As a result of numerical simulation, the physical mechanism for the occurrence of the double peaks is explained using the concept of variable source area.

본 연구는 기후변화가 만경강에 서식하는 어류 서식처에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 기후변화 영향에 따른 수문자료는 RCP 8.5 기후변화시나리오 결과에 기반하여 SLURP 분포형 모델을 이용하여 일 유출량을 도출하였다. 기후변화 전후의 일 유출량 자료는 수문변화지표(indicator of Hydrologic Alteration, IHA) 통계분석모형을 이용하여 유출량의 규모, 빈도, 시기, 기간, 변화율 등 유황특성을 반영한 5가지의 환경흐름요소(Environmental Flow Components, EFC)로 나타냈다. 환경흐름요소는 수문기간 동안의 유황을 극히 낮은 흐름(Extreme low flow), 낮은 흐름(Low flow), 높은 흐름 펄스(High flow pulse), 작은 홍수(Small floods), 커다란 홍수(Large floods) 등 5가지의 스펙트럼 형태로 나타낼 수 있다. 어류의 물리서식처 모의를 위한 대상어종은 환경부 멸종위기 야생동식물 1급으로 지정 및 보호되고 있고 과거 만경강 봉동 일대에서 출현하였던 감돌고기를 선정하였다. 감돌고기의 서식처 적합도(HSI)는 과거 모니터링 결과 및 문헌자료 근거로 생애주기별(산란기, 성장기, 성어기)로 구분하여 나타내었고, River2D 모형에 적용하였다. 분석결과 생애주기별로는 기후변화 영향 후 산란기의 감돌고기의 서식처가중가용면적은 24.1% 증가, 성장기와 성어기의 가중가용면적은 각각 3.3%, 7.3%로 감소하는 것으로 예측되었다. 극한조건에서 서식처가중가용면적의 크기는 높은 흐름 펄스, 작은 홍수, 커다란 홍수, 극히 낮은 흐름 순으로 나타났다. 기후변화 영향으로 인한 가중가용면적의 변화는 작은 홍수를 제외하고 미래에는 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 극히 낮은 흐름, 커다란 홍수의 경우 빈도와 기간을 고려할 때 실질적인 가중가용면적은 더욱 악화될 것으로 예측되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 기후변화 영향으로 인한 만경강 유역의 미래서식처 요건은 악화될 것으로 예상되며 멸종위기종인 감돌고기의 서식처 확보방안의 제시가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The synthetic aperture rardar (SAR) is an active sensor using microwaves. It transmits a microwave signal, called a chirp pulse, and receives the reflected signal in a moving platform such as satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle. Since this sensor uses microwaves that can penetrate the atmosphere, SAR generates the images regardless of light and weather conditions. However SAR operates on the moving platform, the Doppler shift and the side-looking observation method should be considered. In addtion, a residual image or ghost image can be occurred according to selection of the pulse repetition frequency (PRF). In this paper, a range design of the PRF for the L-band spaceborne SAR system is studied for prevention of SAR image distortion. And the system is studied for prevention of SAR image distortion. And the system parameter and the PRF are calibrated iteratively according to the proposed system design procedure and design constraints. The MATLAB based on SAR system simulator has been developed to verify the validity of calculated PRF. The developed simulator assumes that SAR sensor is operated by the PRF calculated from the design. The results of the simulator show that the targets in image has a valid peak to side-lobe ratio (PSLR) so that the PRF can be used for the spaceborne SAR sensor.

Range resolution is the ability to distinguish different targets placed in same angular direction but at different distances from the radar. Normally, Range resolution requirement is defined as the width of transmitting pulse. The width of transmitting pulse does not mean the ability to distinguish two different targets. Range resolution performance to detect and track targets separately depends on the signal processing and tracking algorithm not only the width of transmitting pulse. This paper analyzes the processing steps in algorithms to affect the range resolution performance and verifies the results by roof-lab ground test using beacon signal. As a result, to track targets with the same angular position separately, it is desirable to have larger range difference than plot-track association test gate.

Airbone laser altimeters have been utilized for 3D topographic mapping of the earth, moon, and planets with high resolution and accuracy, which is a rapidly growing remote sensing technique that measures the round-trip time emitted laser pulse to determine the topography. The traveling time from the laser scanner to the Earth's surface and back is directly related to the distance of the sensor to the ground. When there are several objects within the travel path of the laser pulse, the reflected laser pluses are distorted by surface variation within the footprint, generating multiple echoes because each target transforms the emitted pulse. The shapes of the received waveforms also contain important information about surface roughness, slope and reflectivity. Waveform processing algorithms parameterize and model the return signal resulting from the interaction of the transmitted laser pulse with the surface. Each of the multiple targets within the footprint can be identified. Assuming each response is gaussian, returns are modeled as a mixture gaussian distribution. Then, the parameters of the model are estimated by LMS Method or EM algorithm However, each response actually shows the skewness in the right side with the slowly decaying tail. For the application to require more accurate analysis, the tail information is to be quantified by an approach to decompose the tail. One method to handle with this problem is proposed in this study.

In this paper, the method to design the antenna, which is suitable for an impulse-like waveform radiation, is presented. In general, the impulse-like waveform has its spectrum of around sub GHz bandwidth and the antenna should be properly designed for not only operating wide-bandwidth also reflecting the time domain characteristics for near-zone impulse radar applications. In this regard, Vivaldi antenna has been designed and characterized in terms of short-pulse radiating aspects in the time domain and verified by measured results. The designed antenna has shown to be operating within wide-bandwidth and to be stable for the input impedance from 1.8 to more than 10GHz. The far-zone radiating waveform has been investigated on each plane at the interval of 30degree and the designed antenna has shown to be a directive characteristic. It can be seen that those results proposed are widely applicable to the near area sensing applications such as ground-penetrating radar.
