뇌혈류초음파(TCD) 검사는 일반적으로 2 MHz의 낮은 주파수를 이용해서 두개강 내의 혈류속도 및 파형을 측정하는 검사이다. 많은 병원에서 병리사들이 검사를 시행하고 있고 학교, 뿐만 아니라 학회차원에서 교육들도 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 TCD검사는 검사자의 스킬이 무엇보다 중요한 검사 중에 하나다. 처음으로 검사를 접하는 검사자들은 혈관이 잘 찾아지지 않아 고민이 생기고, 어느 정도 경험한 검사자들은 혈관이 너무 많이 찾아져서 고민이 된다고 한다. 직접 혈관을 보고 측정하는 검사가 아니기 때문에 많은 제한과 어려움이 있을 수밖에 없다. 그래서 TCD 검사자들을 위해서 검사를 시행할 때 주의사항과 노하우를 소개함으로써 도움을 드리고자 한다.

This paper proposed an Inter-Carrier-Interference (ICI) Canceling Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) receiver for 5G mobile system to support 500 km/h linear motor high speed terrestrial transportation service. A receiver in such high-speed train sees the transmission channel which is composed of multiple Doppler-shifted propagation paths. Then, a loss of sub-carrier orthogonality due to Doppler-spread channels causes ICI. The ICI Canceler is realized by the following three steps. First, using the Demodulation Reference Symbol (DMRS) pilot signals, it analyzes three parameters such as attenuation, relative delay, and Doppler-shift of each multi-path component. Secondly, based on the sets of three parameters, Channel Transfer Function (CTF) of sender sub-carrier number 𝒏 to receiver sub-carrier number 𝒍 is generated. In case of 𝒏≠𝒍, the CTF corresponds to ICI factor. Thirdly, since ICI factor is obtained, by applying ICI reverse operation by Multi-Tap Equalizer, ICI canceling can be realized. ICI canceling performance has been simulated assuming severe channel condition such as 500 km/h, 2 path reverse Doppler Shift for QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM and 256QAM modulations. In particular, for modulation schemes below 16QAM, we confirmed that the difference between BER in a 2 path reverse Doppler shift environment and stationary environment at a moving speed of 500 km/h was very small when the number of taps in the multi-tap equalizer was set to 31 taps or more. We also confirmed that the BER performance in high-speed mobile communications for multi-level modulation schemes above 64QAM is dramatically improved by the use of a multi-tap equalizer.

An airborne radar performance can be sensitive to the variation of the Doppler center frequency and the spectral spread of the ground clutter return due to the radar platform moving and aspect angle of the scanning beam to the target. In this paper, for the performance test of the airborne pulsed Doppler radar system developed, the high-speed radar data acquisition system is implemented for acquiring the raw radar signal in real-time. Based on the various test scenarios from airborne-platform to the moving platform, the various radar target and clutter signals are collected and their spectrum is analyzed for the verification of the radar performance in the real-time flight test environments.

This paper proposes a method to extend Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) canceling Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) receivers for 5G mobile systems to spatial multiplexing 2×2 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems to support high-speed ground transportation services by linear motor cars traveling at 500 km/h. In Japan, linear-motor high-speed ground transportation service is scheduled to begin in 2027. To expand the coverage area of base stations, 5G mobile systems in high-speed moving trains will have multiple base station antennas transmitting the same downlink (DL) signal, forming an expanded cell size along the train rails. 5G terminals in a fast-moving train can cause the forward and backward antenna signals to be Doppler-shifted in opposite directions, so the receiver in the train may have trouble estimating the exact channel transfer function (CTF) for demodulation. A receiver in such high-speed train sees the transmission channel which is composed of multiple Doppler-shifted propagation paths. Then, a loss of sub-carrier orthogonality due to Doppler-spread channels causes ICI. The ICI Canceller is realized by the following three steps. First, using the Demodulation Reference Symbol (DMRS) pilot signals, it analyzes three parameters such as attenuation, relative delay, and Doppler-shift of each multi-path component. Secondly, based on the sets of three parameters, Channel Transfer Function (CTF) of sender sub-carrier number n to receiver sub-carrier number l is generated. In case of n≠l, the CTF corresponds to ICI factor. Thirdly, since ICI factor is obtained, by applying ICI reverse operation by Multi-Tap Equalizer, ICI canceling can be realized. ICI canceling performance has been simulated assuming severe channel condition such as 500 km/h, 8 path reverse Doppler Shift for QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM and 256QAM modulations. In particular, 2×2MIMO QPSK and 16QAM modulation schemes, BER (Bit Error Rate) improvement was observed when the number of taps in the multi-tap equalizer was set to 31 or more taps, at a moving speed of 500 km/h and in an 8-pass reverse doppler shift environment.

This paper proposes a low-power waveform for a long-range air-to-air data link. In the case of an air-to-air data link, data communication is performed in the air and high Doppler shift may occur depending on the flight speed, so a waveform based on the non-coherent method is suitable. In addition, since it is mounted on an aircraft, it must have low power characteristics. This paper proposes a waveform that combines a modulation technique based on frequency modulation and pulse position modulation that can turn on/off the transmission signal. As a result of the performance analysis, it was shown that the performance was suitable for air-to-air operation while showing low power characteristics.

본 논문에서는 수심이 낮은 곳에서도 ADCP(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler)를 사용할 수 있도록 주파수 해상도를 높이는 음향신호처리 기법을 제안하였다. ADCP는 유속을 측정하는 장치이다. 일반적으로 바다에서 사용하는 ADCP는 수심의 제약이 없어서 300K Hz 이하의 중심주파수를 사용할 수 있으나 하천의 경우는 가뭄이 길어지면 수심이 30cm 이하도 나타나기 때문에 사용하기 힘들다. 따라서 기존의 신호처리 방법으로는 수심이 낮은 하천에서 유속을 측정하기 매우 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 낮은 하천의 수심을 고려하여 Zoom FFT 방법을 이용하여 유속을 추정하는 연구를 시뮬레이션해본 결과 이론적으로는 약 ${\pm}62\;cm/s$ 정도의 오차를 줄일 수 있었고, 실험적으로는 약 ${\pm}93\;cm/s$ 정도의 오차가 줄어들었다. 실험에서도 기존의 알고리즘으로 추정이 안 되었던 것이, 유속 20 cm/s 이상에서는 유속 추정이 가능하였다.

Closed cracks are difficult to detect using conventional ultrasonic testing because most incident ultrasound passes completely through these cracks. Nonlinear ultrasound inspection using sub-harmonic frequencies a promising method for detecting closed cracks. To implement this method, a sub-harmonic phased array (PA) is proposed to visualize the length of closed cracks in solids. A sub-harmonic PA generally consists of a single transmitter and an array receiver, which detects sub-harmonic waves generated from closed cracks. The PA images are obtained using the total focusing method (TFM), which (with a transmitter and receiving array) employs a full matrix in the observation region to achieve fine image resolution. In particular, the receiving signals are measured using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) to collect PA images for both fundamental and sub-harmonic frequencies. Oblique incidence, which is used to boost sub-harmonic generation, inevitably produces various surface waves that contaminate the signals measured in the receiving transducer. Surface wave interference often degrades PA images severely, and it becomes difficult to read the closed crack's position from the images. Various methods to prevent or eliminate this interference are possible. In particular, enhancing images with signal processing could be a highly cost-effective method. Because periodic patterns distributed in a PA image are the most frequent interference induced by surface waves, spatial frequency filtering is applicable for removing these waves. Experiments clearly demonstrate that the spatial frequency filter improves PA images.

최근 수중 통신을 활용하는 사례가 많아짐에 따라 여러 가지 통신 방식에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 그 중에서 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 방식과 CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) 방식에 대한 연구 사례가 증가하고 있다. 일반적으로 OFDM은 수중에서 도플러에 강하고 고속 통신이 가능하다는 장점이 있으며, CDMA는 수중에서 주파수 선택적 페이딩에 강하고 에너지 소모를 줄일 수 있는 등의 장점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 수중 채널 환경에서 OFDM과 CDMA 통신 방식의 성능 분석을 위해 서해 천해역에서 실험을 수행하였다. 서해 천해역의 수중 채널 환경 특성을 분석하기 위해 실해역에서 취득한 데이터를 사용하여 최대 지연 확산과 도플러 확산을 도출하였으며, 최대 지연 확산과 도플러 확산의 변화에 따른 OFDM과 CDMA 방식의 통신 성능을 coded BER(Bit Error Rate)로 나타내었다. 분석 결과 OFDM 방식이 CDMA 방식에 비해 수중 채널 환경 변화에 강인한 통신 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

This study is focussed on the investigation of spray characteristics from the high pressure gasoline injector for the application of gasoline direct injection engine. For the analysis of spray structure of high pressure gasoline injector; the laser scattering method with a Nd-Yag laser and the Phase Doppler particle analyzer system were applied to observe the spray development and the measurement of the droplet size and velocity of the spray, respectively. Also spatial velocity distribution of the spray droplet was measured by use of the particle image velocity system. Experimental results show that high pressure gasoline injector shapes the hollow-cone spray, and produce the upward ring shaped vortex on the spray surface region. This upward ring shaped vortex promotes the secondary atomization of fuel droplets and contributes to a uniform distribution of fuel droplets. Most of fuel droplets are distributed under 31$\mu m$ of the mean droplet size (SMD) and the frequency distribution of the droplet size under 25$\mu m$ is over 95% at 7 MPa of injection pressure. According to the experimental results of PIV system, the flow patterns of the droplets velocity distribution in spray region are in good agreement with the spray macroscopic behaviors obtained from the visualization investigation.
