A Compton X-ray backscatter technique has been developed to quantitatively assess impact damage in quasi-isotropic laminated composites made by a drop-weight tester. X-ray backscatter imaging system with a slit-type camera is constructed to obtain a cross-sectional profile of impact-damaged laminated composites from the electron-density variation of the cross section. A nonlinear scattering model based on Boltsman equation is introduced to compute Compton X-ray backscattering field for the defect assessment. An adaptive filter is also used to reduce noises from many sources including quantum noise and irregular distributions of fibers and matrix in composites. Delaminations masked or distorted by the first delamination are detected and characterized effectively by the Compton X-ray backscatter technique, both in width and location, by application of error minimization algorithm.

In this study, we setup a ground-based scatterometer using an antenna of which the center frequency is 9.5 GHz (X-band), and measured radar backscatterings from air/ice and ice/water interfaces to extract ice thickness. Both of air/ice and ice/water interfaces make strong radar backscatterings and so we can clearly identify two peaks in measured data by scatterometer. By using the distance of two peaks and refractive index of ice, we confirmed that it is possible to measure ice thickness. Field survey was performed at the downstream of Jiam River flowing into Chuncheon Lake. We measured radar backscattering from river ice along a survey path and extracted ice thickness. The ice thickness map of the downstream of Jiam River was produced by using kriging which is one of well known interpolation methods. The ice thickness was about 50 cm along the mainstream while ice was thin as 30 ~ 40 cm at a fast-flowing meander. Ice thickness was particularly thinner at some locations than that of surrounding areas even in the mainstream region of constant flow. This was because of impurities in ice or artificially formed refrozen holes after fishing. We expect that this study helps to expand utilization field of X-band SAR and airborne scatterometer system.

Sea surface backscattering signal measurements were conducted in the shallow waters off the east coast of Korea to study the acoustic wave scattering from the sea surface. The grazing angles of wave range from 20° to 40° with a frequency of 60 kHz. The wind speed and surface roughness of the experiment area were 3 m/os and below 1 m, respectively. The measured acoustic backscattering strengths greatly exceed the composite roughness predictions at low grazing angles. To account for this discrepancy, the scattering strengths due to a near-surface bubble layer were considered. The prediction with bubble contribution was found to be in good agreement with the experimental measurement.

Measurements of bottom backscattering strengths in a frequency range of 6-14 kHz were made on the shallow water off the southern Gyeonggi Bay in Yellow Sea in May 2013, as part of the KIOST-HYU joint acoustics experiment. Geological surveys for the experimental area were performed using multi-beam echo sounder, sparker system, and grab sampling to investigate the bottom topography, sub-bottom profile and composition of surficial sediment, respectively. In this paper, the backscattering strengths as a function of grazing angle (in range of $28^{\circ}{\sim}69^{\circ}$) were estimated and compared to the predictions obtained by Lambert's law and APL-UW scattering model. Finally, the effects of geoacoustic parameters corresponding to the experimental area on the backscattering strengths are discussed.

본 논문에서는 DLR(German Aerospace Center)에서 운영하는 TerraSAR-X를 이용하여 2009년 1월 19일 18:28 (Local time) 에 서해 대부도/제부도 및 대부도 남쪽 해안을 촬영한 stripmap mode (Dual-Pol: HH, VV) 화상을 취득하여 향후 고해상도 X-밴드 화상의 활용 방안 및 효용성에 대해 검토해 보았다. 함께 취득된 현장자료와의 비교를 통하여 2010 년에 발사될 예정인 아리랑 5 호의 활용방안을 찾고자 한다. 여기서는, 연안에 설치된 양식시설, 소형 선박 그리고 코너리플렉터에 대해서 해석을 수행하였다. 김 양식시설의 경우, 구조와 설치 각도에 따라 다른 후방산란특성을 보였으며, 같은 시설에 대해서도 HH 편파의 후방산란계수가 VV 보다 2.6 dB 높게 나타났다. 그 이유는 김 양식시설이 TeraSAR-X의 전파전파 방향과 수직하게 되어 후방 산란이 많이 일어나는 반면에, B 지역에 설치된 김 양식시설은 TeraSAR-X의 전파전파방향과 약 45 도 비스듬하게 설치되어 있어, 상대적으로 낮은 후방산란계수를 나타내기 때문이다. 또한 한 변의 길이가 각각 1 m, 0.6 m 인 사각면 삼각 수동 전파반사기 두 개를 제부도 북쪽의 갯벌에 설치하여 TerraSAR-X 의 화상에 나타난 후방산란특성을 분석하였다. TerraSAR-X 의 화상이 X-밴드를 사용하고, 높은 해상도로 인해 power spill이 넓게 분포하는 것을 볼 수 있다.

The backscattering coefficients of a bare soil surface were measured using an R-band polarimetric scatterometer, which were used to verify the validities of scattering models and inversion algorithms. The soil moisture contents and the surface roughness parameters (the RMS height and correlation length) were also measured from the soil surface. The backscattering coefficients were obtained from several scattering models with these surface parameters, and the computation results were compared with the measured backscattering coefficients. The soil moisture contents of the surface were retrieved from the measured backscattering coefficients, and compared with the measured surface parameters. This paper shows how well the scattering models agree with the measurements, and also shows the inversion results.

The angular dependence (or profile) of backscattered ultrasound was measured for steel specimens with a range of surface roughness, $1{\sim}71{\mu}m$. Backscattering profiles at or near the Rayleigh angle still showed roughness dependence while the assessment of surface roughness via normal profile became impossible due to the paint layer masking the roughness. The peak amplitude directly radiated at the Rayleigh angle was proportional to the surface roughness, while the averaged peak amplitude radiated from the backward propagating Rayleigh wave, produced by reflection at a corner, was inversely proportional. In the painted specimens, the linearity of direct backward radiation with the roughness was observed even at the roughness of less than three hundredths of a wavelength, and the abnormal multiple bark reflection caused by periodic roughness disappeared.

어군의 밀도를 음파로 추정할 때 어군의 총후방 산란 단면적이 어류개체의 후방 산란 단면적을 random phase로 합한 것과 같다는 가정에 대하여 실험적 검증을 시도하였다. 어체의 길이 대 음파의 파장비가 23일 때 두 마리와 세 마리의 숭어에 대하여 실시한 실험에서 전 산란각에 대한 편균이 random phase로 합할 때 보다 -1.7dB와 +1dB씩 편차를 보였다. 그러나 전체적으로는 in phase와 out phase sum 사이에서 변화함을 보였고, 최대오차는 in phase로 합해질 때로서 실제의 어군밀도 n에 비 해 최고 n\sup 2\에 이르기까지 추정 가능함을 실험결과는 보여주고 있다. 더욱이 이러한 결과는 어체간 의 간격변화에는 거의 무관하였으므로 소나무 빔폭이나 어군의 분포에 상관없이 빔폭 사이에 있는 어군 의 마리수에만 퐁후방 산란 단면적이 관계된다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

A simulation is applied to evaluate sea surface observations such as wave heights and surface currents by using a microwave Doppler radar. It is reported that the microwave irradiation width on the sea surface and Fourier transform time taken to sample data for frequency analysis affect Doppler spectra. To investigate the influences by these parameters, Doppler spectra are simulated with various numerical sea surface waves with currents. From the results, in the case of the microwave irradiation width is five times smaller than the wavelength of the sea surface wave, and the Fourier transform time is also five times shorter than the period of the sea surface wave, there is a possibility to measure wave heights accurately with a Doppler radar. In addition, relative surface currents can be estimated by analysis of long Fourier transform time. The simulation results showed the appropriate observing conditions with a microwave Doppler radar.
