Recently, level meters have been associated with the safety and maintenance of industrial sites and require a wide measurement range. Generally, to ensure the measurement range of the level meter, the measurement environment is improved to reduce the noise or to compensate the distortion of the signal through signal processing. The noise of FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar level meter or the distortion of the signal affects the near region characteristics of the level gauge, resulting in a reduction of the minimum detection distance. In this paper, an equalizer filter considering characteristics of window function and bit spectrum is applied to remove the noise in the near region of the level meter to improve the minimum detection distance performance and to improve the measurement reliability in the vicinity of the level meter, which is relatively difficult to detect, we want to improve the detection range.

Since the obstacles and mines are of the risk factors for operating ships and submarines, the active sonar system is inevitably used to avoid the hazards in ocean environment. In this paper, modeling and simulation algorithm is used for active sonar systemto quantify the measure of mission achievability, which is known as Measure of Effectiveness(MOE), specifically for detection in this study. MOE for detection is directly formulated as a Cumulative Detection Probability(CDP) calculated from Probability of Detection(PD) in range and azimuth. The detection probability is calculated from Transmission Loss(TL) and the sonar parameters such asDirectivity Index (DI) calculated from the shape of transmitted and received array, steered beam patterns, and Reverberation Level (RL). The developed code is applied to demonstrating its applicability.

This paper describes target detection performance of millimeter wave radar that exits on non-stationary target detection schemes in the ground clutter conditions. The comparison of various CFAR process schemes such as CA(Cell-Average)-CFAR, GO(Greatest Of)/SO(Smallest Of)-CFAR, and OS(Order Statistics)-CFAR performance are applied. Using matlab software, we show the performance and loss between target detection probability and signal to noise ratio. This paper concludes the OS-CFAR process performance is better than any others and satisfies the optimal detection probability without loss of detection in the homogeneous clutter, When range bins increase.

For an adaptive cruise control (ACC) stop-and-go system in automotive applications, three radar sensors are needed because two 24 GHz short range radars are used for object detection in an adjacent lane, and one 77 GHz long-range radar is used for object detection in the center lane. In this letter, we propose a single sensor-based 24 GHz radar with a detection capability of up to 150 m and ${\pm}30^{\circ}$ for an ACC stop-and-go system. The developed radar is highly integrated with a high gain patch antenna, four channel receivers with GaAs RF ICs, and back-end processing board with subspace based digital beam forming algorithm.

In order to measure the minute amount of Cu(II) in our environment, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square-wave stripping voltammetry (SWSV) were performed for a trace copper assay using bismuth immobilized on a carbon nanotube paste electrode. An analytical working range of 30 to $240{\mu}g/L$ Cu(II) was obtained for CV and SWSV. The SWSV precision obtained was 0.47 % (n = 15) RSD in $30.0{\mu}g/L$ Cu(II). The detection limit obtained was 3.1 ng/L Cu(II) using SWSV, while the CV yielded the nano-range detection limit through the pre-concentration step. By using this research method, Cu(II) value could be determined in the urine of human sample and in the brain of fish sample. This research can be effectively applied to other cases of measuring minute amount of Cu(II) in living organisms.

A microstrip patch array designed at 35 GHz is described for use in the detection of the position of moving targets. To obtain wide detection range, the array is arranged to give a narrow beamwidth in the elevation plane and a wide beamwidth on the azimuth plane. This can be achieved by aligning the electric field plane of each element to the array axis. Employing a 3 dB-tapered feed network, the array has a side lobe level of less than -20 dB and wider azimuth beam width of 12.8$^{\circ}$ simultaneously.

In this article, we propose a new protocol at fast scan mode for a sea-surface small target detection. The conventional fast scan mode is composed of coherent intrascan integration to suppress sea clutter and non-coherent interscan integration to exclude sea spikes. The proposed method realizes the coherent interscan integration by the new Fourier relationship between carrier-frequency and initial-radial-range, which can be analytically derived by using multiple carrier frequencies at fast scan mode, leading to improved detection performance, compared to the conventional non-coherent methods. In simulations, our proposed method is verified.

Hydrogen peroxide is a radiolysis product of water formed under gamma-irradiation; therefore, its reliable detection is crucial in the nuclear industry for spent fuel management and coolant chemistry. This study proposes an electrochemical sensor for hydrogen peroxide detection. Cysteamine (CYST), gold nanoparticles (GNPs), and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were used in the modification of a gold electrode for fabricating Au/CYST/GNP/HRP sensor. Each modification step of the electrode was investigated through electrochemical and physical methods. The sensor exhibited strong sensitivity and stability for the detection and measurement of hydrogen peroxide with a linear range of 1-9 mM. In addition, the Michaelis-Menten kinetic equation was applied to predict the reaction curve, and a quantitative method to define the dynamic range is suggested. The sensor is highly sensitive to H₂O₂ and can be applied as an electrochemical H₂O₂-sensor in the nuclear industry.

In this study, a straightforward and precise nitrogen/sulphur-codoped carbon dots (N/S-CD) was produced using a microwave irradiation approach. The N/S-CD was formulated from succinic acid (SA), bis-(3-aminopropyl)-amine (BAPA), and sodium thiosulphate (STS) as sources of carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur, respectively. The synthesized N/S-CD established a valuable quantum yield (QY) of 70 % and was sensitive to aluminium ion (Al³⁺) with a detection limit of 0.21 µM and a linear concentration range of 0-100 µM. When detecting Al³⁺ in real water samples, the N/S-CD resulted in a satisfactory recovery in the range of 91.14 %-103.37 %. Thus, the proposed study is very promising for Al³⁺ detection in environmental water samples.

This paper compare with SNR performance of coherent integration and non-coherent integration in radar system. This paper to prevent distortion of transmit signal and radar return in radar system is used to pulsed waveform. This paper to estimate target detection range and to compare with SNR performance used to coherent integration performed before the envelope detector and non-coherent integration processed after the envelope detector. Through simulation, SNR performance of coherent integration and non-coherent integration were comparatively analyzed. SNR performance of coherent integration is good proof higher than non-coherent integration.
