A 3D ultrasound image is desired in many medical examinations. However, the implementation of a 2D array, which is needed for a 3D image, is challenging with respect to fabrication, interconnection and cabling. A 2D sparse array, which needs fewer elements than a dense array, is a realistic way to achieve 3D images. Because the number of ways the elements can be placed in an array is extremely large, a method for optimizing the array configuration is needed. Previous research placed the target point far from the transducer array, making it impossible to optimize the array in the operating range. In our study, we focused on optimizing a 2D sparse array transducer for 3D imaging by using a simulated annealing method. We compared the far-field optimization method with the near-field optimization method by analyzing a point-spread function (PSF). The resolution of the optimized sparse array is comparable to that of the dense array.

As real-time processing of data with large storage space is required in the era of multimedia, disk arrays are generally used as storage subsystems which be able to provide improved I/O performance. To design the cost-effective disk array, it is important to develop performance models which evaluate the disk array performance. Both queueing theory and simulation are applicable as the method of performance evaluation through queueing modeling. But there is a limit to the analytical method using queueing theory due to the characteristics of disk array requests being serviced in the parallel and concurrent manner. So in this paper we evaluate the disk array performance using simulation method which abstract disk array systems in the low level. Performance results were evaluated through simulation, so that mean response time, mean queueing delay, mean service time, mean queue length for disk array requests and utilization, throughput for disk array systems, can be utilized for capacity planning in the phase of disk array design.

This paper describes a new method for object extraction necessary for image tracking systems. The extraction method which this paper proposes here is that an M-array is set between a camera and the object and the obtained image including the object and M-array is pro-cessed for extracting the object. The image processing utilizes a characteristic of M-array which is robust to noise. When an M-array is overlapped on the object in background image, the object woud have a part of M-array, which is detected by use of partial correlation between the mosaic image of M-array and the standard M-array. Thus the shape and position of the object are extracted by extracting a common domain of width of high correlation value. Experiments are carried out by using an actual photo of Kumamoto city taken from an airplane as background, and by use of a rectangular and circular object. The results of experiment show a wide application of this method for practical image tracking systems.

참조 신호를 이용한 어레이 형상추정 기법은 일반적으로 참조 신호가 어레이로부터 충분히 먼 원거리에 위치한다고 가정하고 있다. 그러나 실제 해양 환경에서 어레이를 운용하는 경우 참조 신호와 어레이 사이의 거리는 충분히 떨어져 있지 않아 원거리 신호 모델을 바탕으로 한 기존의 기법들은 하이드로폰의 좌표 추정 시 많은 오차가 발생하게 된다 본 논문에서는 근거리 신호모델을 이용한 부공간 근사기반의 어레이 형상추정 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법에서는 기준하이드로폰에 대한 시간 지연 성분을 이용하여 근거리 참조 신호를 모델링하고, 어레이 형상 추정을 위한 근거리 파라미터를 구한다. 근거리 파라미터를 이용하여 기존의 원거리 형상 추정 기법을 일반화함으로써 참조 신호의 거리에 관계없이 하이드로폰의 좌표 추정이 가능한 기법을 제안하였다. 그리고 제안된 기법의 Cramer-Rao Lower Bound를 유도하였다. 모의실험 결과 참조 신호의 거리에 관계없이 제안된 기법이 기존의 기법에 비해 보다 정확하게 하이드로폰의 좌표를 추정할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a new technique of mathematical treatment using a finite element model for analyzing the vibration of the towed line array. Since the towed line array has the axisymmetricity, axisymmetric elements are used in finite element modeling for the towed array structure. The fluid-structure interaction is also considered. The array consists of a series of identical substructures which can include internal structures such as spacers, hydrophones and ropes. That periodicity of substrucutres permits the substructure synthesis technique using characteristic wave guide for analyzing the response of towed array system. This synthesis technique can reduce the cost of computing the array response. It is suggested that a response of towed array can be computed by the finite element method and substructure synthesis technique using wave guide. Several experiments for towed array were performed to verify the present computation technique. The predicted vibration for the towed array shows good agreement with the measured result.

The array patterns of a patch array antenna were calculated using an active element pattern (AEP) method that considers ground edge effects. The classical equivalent radiation model of the patch antenna, which is characterized by two radiating slots, was adopted, and the AEPs that include mutual coupling were precisely calculated using full-wave simulated S-parameters. To improve the accuracy of the calculation, the edge diffraction of a ground plane was incorporated into AEP using the uniform geometrical theory of diffraction. The array patterns were then calculated on the basis of the computed AEPs. The array patterns obtained through the conventional AEP approach and the AEP method that takes ground edge effects into account were compared with the findings derived through full-wave simulations conducted using a High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) and FEKO software. Results showed that the array patterns calculated using the proposed AEP method are more accurate than those derived using the conventional AEP technique, especially under a small number of array elements or under increased steering angles.

우리는 서로소 배열 안테나에 기존의 프로퍼게이터 방법을 기반으로 하는 도래각 (DoA; direction of arrival) 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 서로소 배열 기법은 도래각 추정 해상도를 증가시키나 복잡도를 상호배열의 크기만큼 증가시킨다. 이러한 복잡도를 감소시키기 위하여 우리는 특이값 분해없이 도래각을 추정하는 프로퍼게이터 방법을 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 우리는 시뮬레이션을 통해 선형 균일 배열 MUSIC, 선형 균일 배열 프로퍼게이터 방법, 서로소 배열을 이용한 MUSIC과 제안한 방법을 비교 및 분석하여, 우리가 제안한 방법이 복잡도가 훨씬 높은 서로소 배열을 이용한 MUSIC 보다는 약간 낮은 성능을 보이지만 나머지 기법들 보다는 훨씬 우수한 성능을 보임을 관찰한다.

In this paper, a beam design method is presented for the planar array with unequal transducer sensitivities. Basically the proposed method consists of two steps. At first, the optimum weightings are designed with the assumption that all array elements have an uniform sensitivity. Next, the compesnated weightings for the unequal transducer sensitivities can reversely be determined from an inverse problem utilizing the design beam pattern evaluated by the predetermined optimal weightings. A numerical example is inculded to illustrate the proposed method.
