Communication environments in the context of underwater channel are characterized to be bad by the characteristics of multipath. Multipaths are affected by various factors e.g. the temperature and the salinity of the ocean. In this paper, the representative sound speed profiles were calculated in the southern part of Baengnyeoung island so that the eigen-ray paths with the channel impulse responses were determined using the average sound speed profile of last decade. The performance of underwater communication was analyzed using the BPSK modulation and time reversal method. The significant differences of results were shown according to the change of season and carrier frequency by using computer simulation. In addition, improved performance is obtained using preprocess channel impulse response for the better comparison of two cases of summer and autumn.

Sound propagation algorithm for a sonar simulator is required to run in real-time and should be able to model the range and depth dependence of the Korean ocean environments. Ray model satisfies these requirements and we developed an algorithm for range-dependent ocean environments. In this algorithm, we considered depth-dependence of sound speed through rays based on a rectangular cell method and layer method. Range-dependence of sound speed was implemented based on a split-step method in the range direction. Eigen-ray is calculated through an interpolation of ray bundles and Gaussian interpolation function was used. The received time signal of sonar was simulated by Fourier transform of eigen-ray solution in the frequency domain. Finally, for the verification of proposed algorithm, we compared the results of transmission loss with other validated models such as BELLHOP, SNUPE, KRAKEN and OASES, for the Pekeris waveguide, wedge, and deep ocean environments. As a result, we obtained satisfactory agreements among them.

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a technique for determining the electrical conductivity and permittivity distribution within the interior of a body from measurements made on its surface. One recent application area of the EIT is the detection of breast cancer by imaging the conductivity and permittivity distribution inside the breast. The present standard for breast cancer detection is X-ray mammography, and it is desirable that EIT and X-ray mammography use the same geometry. A forward model of a simplified mammography geometry for EIT imaging was proposed earlier. In this paper, we propose an iterative algorithm for computing the current pattern that will be applied to the electrodes. The current pattern applied to the electrodes influences the voltages measured on the electrodes. Since the measured voltage data is going to be used in the impedance imaging computation, it is desirable to apply currents that result in the largest possible voltage signal. We compute the eigenfunctions for a homogenous medium that will be applied as current patterns to the electrodes. The algorithm for the computation of the eigenfunctions is presented. The convergence of the algorithm is shown by computing the eigencurrent of the simplified mammography geometry.

This paper presents capacity characteristics of the indoor LOS(Line-Of-Sight) propagation channel for MIMO system at 5GHz. The distance between antenna elements, their moving path, and number of transmitting and receiving antennas can be determined by wanted eigen-vlaue, and channel capacity of the MIMO communication channel using only reliable simulation without measurements. The simulation uses 3D Ray tracing and patch scattering model to which electromagnetic material constants are applied. As distance between antenna elements increases, distribution of the eigen-value show a tendency to decrease, but channel capacity increases in LOS environment. However, despite of short distance between antenna elements, large value of channel capacity is obtained in positions which have high AS. When the position of receiver antennas are shifted, channel capacity hardly changed, and as number of antenna elements increases, channel capacity also increases regularly.

This paper proposes a ray-based forward modeling scheme which is suitable for the shallow water acoustic wave propagation simulations. The proposed model comprises of ray tracings for the layered media of which sound speed profiles are interpolated linearly. considerations of plane and spherical wave reflection coefficients. and calculations of the phases and the amplitudes of eigen rays. The main characteristic of the scheme is fast simulation time due to direct calculation of the broad-band time signals in the time-domain, i.e. without transformation of the frequency-domain solutions to the time si 밍 131s. Finally, we applied the model to 4-types of test environments and compared the resulting signals with those of ORCA and Ram in order to validate the proposed model.

In the designs of the sensitive electronic devices such as phase sensitive detector, X-ray diffractometer, and neutron diffractometers, we must take into account the geometrical factors in a coil systems and extraneous stray fields. Input wave forms in such a sensitive electronic devices are often altered by the influence of these factors. Since the magnitude of the stray fields is generally very small, this affection may be removed by applying a good shielding but it is not ease to remove the affection from a geometrical factor. This affection must be however calculated by the theoretical methods and analytical solution in the equation of these factors. The fundamental purpose of this paper lie in the theoretical calculations and practical measurements of the geometrical factor in the coil systems, finite solenoid, and four point prove. In the heoretical calculations, the geometrical factors in the coil systems were calculated by applying the elliptic functions and in the contact points were calculated by applying the elliptic functions and in the contact points were calculated by applying the eigen functions and the infinite series. The measurements were carried out by using the sensitive electronic device made from author's design, as shown in the Fig. 9. The result of this work has verified the essential correctness of theoretical investigations and measuring techniques of geometrical factors on the design of sensitive electronic devices. It also has several advantages such that: (1) all the data obtained may give effective data to designer to work on the field of sensitive electronic devices or microelectronic devices, (2) it has evidently explained the characteristics of electrical investigations and physical definition, and has removed the conventional error of geometrical factors in the coil systems and contact points.

Actual maritime exercise for improving the capability of submarine sonar operator leads to a lot of cost and constraints. Sonar simulator maximizes the capability of sonar operator and training effect by solving these problems and simulating a realistic battlefield environment. In this study, a passive sonar simulator algorithm is suggested, where the simulator is divided into three modules: maneuvering module, noise source module, and sound propagation module. Maneuvering module is implemented in three-dimensional coordinate system and time interval is set as the rate of vessel changing course. Noise source module consists of target noise, ocean ambient noise, and self noise. Target noise is divided into modulated/unmodulated and narrowband/broadband signals as their frequency characteristics, and they are applied to ship radiated noise level depending on the vessel tonnage and velocity. Ocean ambient noise is simulated depending on the wind noise considering the waveguide effect and other ambient noise. Self noise is also simulated for flow noise and insertion loss of sonar-dome. The sound propagation module is based on ray propagation, where summation of amplitude, phase, and time delay for each eigen-ray is multiplied by target noise in the frequency domain. Finally, simulated results based on various scenarios are in good agreement with generated noise in the real ocean.
