As an experimental technique to analyze the far-field characteristics of underwater cylindrical array sensors, cylindrical acoustic holography is studied. Inside an laboratory water tank, far-field directivity patterns as well as near-field source images are reconstructed from the measured hologram by hydrophone array. Approximate equation for far-field directivity estimation is derived based on stationary phase method. The simulation and experiment show well usefulness of the proposed method in application of underwater array sensors.

Optimizing the performance of a composite sensor array is necessary when the number of sensors to choose from is large. In this paper, we present a chemical sensors array optimization method using Wilks Lamda algorithm applicable a device to detect low concentration of alcohol from driver's exhale breath for interlocking engine ignition preventing drink-driving. More than 20 chemical sensors fabricated different synthetic stuffs and heater temperatures by collaborators were nominated, 5 sensors were selected for optimal sensors array using the method, and alcohol samples were well discriminated from the interference gases inside the vehicle. It has been confirmed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

In this paper, the leaky wave readiation characteristics of a microstrip rectangular patch array is presented. The reflection and transmission characteristics are analyzed using the equivalent transmission line method. Since the leaky wave is generated from the periodic array, using the Floquet'theorem, leaky wave frequency range is predicted and confirmed by the measured reflection and transmission characterstics of the array. A 17 element microstrip patch array at X-Band is designed and tested. Teh scattering Characteristics show good agreement woth those obtained from the equivalent transmission line analysis. The radiatio characteristics at 10GHz using this method show about 3${\circ}$ shift in main lobe angle compared with measured results.

In this paper, a synchronous permanent magnet planar motor (SPMPM) with Halbach array is proposed. First, we give the equations of the magnetic scalar potential and a series of boundary conditions. The magnetization and flux density distribution of Halbach array are obtained by analytical method; then, the characteristics of this SPMPM such as inductance, back-EMF, and thrust are evaluated. At last, the experiment results are used to verify the analysis property of this SPMPM. By comparison, it can be concluded that the analysis of SPMPM with Halbach magnet array is credible and feasible.

In this paper, a systolic array for polyadic-nonserial DP problems is designed, the performance is analyzed and the efficient operating method is proposed. The algorithm is transformed to remove the broadcasting and global communication paths in the data dependence step by step. The transformed algorithm is mapping to the systolic array using the method proposed by D. I. Moldovan. The designed array is homogenous, had the processing elements of (n+1)/2 and 2n computation time ( n is the size of problem). In case of being many problems to process, the efficiency of array can be upward by inputing the problems successively. The interval between the initiations of two successive proboem instances is [n/2]+1 and the speed-up is about 4. The processor utilizations of each case are calculated.

The method of designing microstrip array antenna for low sidelobe level and narrow beam-width using Dolph-Chebyshev array is presented. The widths of microstrip antenna corresponding to excitation coefficients obtained by Dolph-Chebyshev array polynomials is decided by calculating radiation resistance using cavity model analysis. The cascaded array microstrip antenna composed of 10-elements with resonant frequency to be 9.43[GHz] is fabricated by using design method presented in this paper. The experimental results of relatively good characteristics show that its gain, sidelobe level and beam-width are 9[dB], -22[dB] and 8.7[$^{\circ}$].

This paper presents a signal processing method for calibrating an antenna array to solve the inaccuracy of Direction of Arrival(DOA). Using reference data quantifying amplitude and phase distortion levels for each angles, we compensate each radar array’s amplitude and phase distortion. The proposed method is applied to the Bartlett, Capon and MUSIC algorithms, Using 77 GHz Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave(FMCW) Long Range Radar(LRR) signal, we experimentally demonstrate the performance improvement after the proposed compensation.

This paper is meaningful as the first case where a 4 - sided hull-fixed phased array radar was installed on a mast separated from Korea and the alignment was verified. The mechanical alignment method was studied for accurately mounting two separate masts for naval ships and the 3D scanner for alignment. Hull-fixed phased array radar uses very high frequency, so the short wavelength can cause a phase difference of the device due to the small positional error. Since the array antenna is fixed with the hull, it has higher accuracy control than the rotary radar for 4 array surfaces. The study describes a method of checking the flatness of two radar masts manufactured at a factory, a method of aligning masts in a shipyard, and a method of aligning four array pad mounting surfaces. As a tool for this, a 3D laser scanner and a software-based method for comparing survey results with 3D CAD are used. This paper is meaningful as the first example of installing a four-sided hull-fixed phased array radar on a separate mast from a Korean naval ship and deriving a mechanical alignment method.

In this paper, a method of feeding for the near field beam scanning array antenna with three dimensional focal point has been studied. The conventional array antenna theory is mostly about the far field points. The basic idea is to feed the transmitted signal so that it is in phase at the desired point. In this study, a method is proposed to compensate the phase to have the maximum received power at the point where the measurement point distance is near to the array antenna size. In the proposed method, 11 point source antennas are arrayed in three ways in free space. And the contour map is plotted by calculating the radiation patterns in the three dimensional space and the received signal intensities in the plane within the near space. As a result, it was confirmed that 3 dimensional beam scanning is possible also in the near field of the array antenna.
