The microwave imaging technique which is mostly analyzed in the spectral domain has been exploited the image reconstruction of object using the 2-dimensional inverse Fourier transform so far. In this paper, a new method of microwave imaging corresponding to a coherent tomographic scheme in the space domain is presented for the conducting objects. Also, it is shown that image reconstruction for lines targets and conducting circular cylinder is per-formed by computer simulation using the filtered-backprojection which is the reconstruction algorithm widely used in X-ray CT. The proposed method analyzed in the space domain can reconstruct the image without any problems such as interpolation and image artifact which results from the reconstruction in the spectral domain for the symmetric conducting objects located in the origin. The image reconstructed by the filtered-backprojection in the space domain has given the superior quality compared with that produced by 2-dimensional IFFT using the interpolation scheme in the spectral domain. Finally, the image of line targets using the moment-method in the space domain which does not require the wide-band signal as the spectral domain has shown a possibility of super-resolution in the microwave imaging.

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.

Whitening phenomena of the EPDM composites with different inorganic filler compositions which were aged at $90^{\circ}C$ for 7 days in air and tap water atmospheres, respectively, were investigated. The aged samples in tap water containing stearic acid exhibited severe whitening phenomena, while all the samples aged in air did not show any whitening. Depending on the filler compositions, there was no big difference in the whitening phenomena. The whitening materials were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), image analysis, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The whitening materials were identified to be salts of stearic acid. The salts of stearic acid were formed by reaction of metal cation in tap water and stearic acid in the sample.

Reaction between silica and silane coupling agent without solvent was investigated using transmission mode Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Bis[3-(triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide] (TESPT) was used as a silane coupling agent. After removing the unreacted TESPT, formation of chemical bonds was analyzed using FTIR and content of reacted TESPT was determined using TGA. Content of the coupling agent bonded to silica increased with increase in the coupling agent content, but the oligomers were formed by condensation reaction between coupling agents when the coupling agent was used to excess. In order to identify bonds formed among silica, coupling agent, and rubber, a silica-coupling agent-BR model composite was prepared by reaction of the modified silica with liquid BR of low molecular weight and chemical bond formation of silica-coupling agent-BR was investigated. Unreacted rubber was removed with solvent and analysis was performed using FTIR and TGA. BR was reacted with the coupling agent of the modified silica to form chemical bonds. Polarity of silica surface was strikingly reduced and particle size of silica was increased by chemical bond formation of silica-coupling agent-BR.

In this paper, the hydroelastic behavior of a mat-type large floating structure is analyzed in time domain by using mode superposition method. The time-memory function is estimated by Fourier transforming the wave damping coefficients, which are computed by a higher-order boundary element method based on potential theory. Meanwhile, the structural response is obtained by time integrating the eigenmodes of the structure. Numerical examples are made for three test cases on the scaled model of a mat-type large floating structure ; weight pull-up case, weight drop case and weight moving case. In all three cases, the numerical results coincide well with experimental data.

This paper reports the correlation between dielectric constant and degree of amorphism of the hybrid type SiOC thin films. SiOC thin films were deposited by high density plasma chemical vapor deposition using bistrimethyl- silylmethane(BTMSM,$H_{9}C_{3}-Si-CH_{2}-Si-C_{3}H_{9}$) and oxygen precursors with various flow rate ratio. As-deposited film and annealed films at $400^{\circ}C$ were analyzed by XRD. The SiOC thin films were amorphous from XRD patterns. For quantitative analysis, the diffraction pattern of the samples was transformed to radial distribution function by Fourier analysis, and then compared with each other. The degree of amorphism of annealed films was higher than that of as-deposited ones. The dielectric constant varied in accordance with flow rate ratio of precursors. The lowest dielectric constant was obtained from the as-deposited film which has the highest degree of amorphism after annealing.

While the bispectrum has desirable properties in itself and therefore has a lot of potential to be applied to signal and Image restoration. few real-world application results have appeared in literature The major problem with this IS the difficulty In realizing the expectation operator of the true bispectrum, due to the lack of realizations. In this paper, the true bispectrum is defined as the expectation of the sample bispectrum, which IS the Fourier representation of the triple correlation given one realization The characteristics of the sample bispectrum are analyzed and a way to obtain an estimate of the true bispectrum without stochastic expectation, using the generalized theory of weighted regularization is shown. The bispectrum estimated by the proposed algorithm is experimentally demonstrated to be useful for signal recovery under blurred noisy condition.

Various attempts have been made to prevent crime risk. One of the cases where outdoor pedestrians are attacked by criminals is the abnormal health condition. When a mental or mental condition that can not sustain normal walking due to drunkenness is exposed, the case of being a crime is revealed through crime case analysis. In this study, we propose a method for estimating the state of an individual that can be detected in outdoor activities. In order to avoid the inconvenience of installing a separate terminal for event information transmission of sensors and sensors, it is possible to estimate an abnormal state by using a 3-axis acceleration sensor built in a smart phone. The state of the user can be estimated by analyzing the momentum of the user and analyzing it with the passage of time. It is possible to distinguish the flow of time at regular intervals, to recognize the activity patterns in each time band, and to distinguish between normal and abnormal. In this study, we have evaluated the total amount of kinetic energy and kinetic energy in each direction of the acceleration sensor and the Fourier transformed value of the total energy amount to distinguish the abnormal state.

The spatial distribution of multipath fading using miniaturized experimental setup was analyzed. The spatial Fourier transform was carried out for the analysis of the period of fading and we could find out spatial frequency component of fading. Thus the analysis using this method shows the validity of miniaturized experimental setup. The miniaturized experimental setup was made by 5 times reducing of the real size. The simulation was performed at 2 GHz and the measurement was carried out at 10 GHz. Automatic antenna moving system was made for exact measurement of the multipath fading. Both simulated and measured results in miniaturized experimental setup were shown by electric field distribution and spatial frequency density distribution curves.

In this paper, characteristics of the wide band microstrip antennas with parasistic element are analyzed by the Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD) method, and antenna parameters are optimized to get maximum bandwidth, retern loss, input impedance, and radiation pattern are calculated by Founier transforming the time domain results. The characteristics of the antenna are varied and the bandwidth of the antenna is broaded as a length and a width of the driven element, a gap of the driven element and the parasitic element, a width and a length of parasitic element. So the different patchs are resonating at different frequencies and this multipule resonance increase the bandwidth. The Results of the calculation and measurement, the size of the antenna with parasitic element is about a twice larger than a microstrip antenna, but bandwidth is four times better than a microstrip antenna. And these results were in relatively good accordance with the measured values.
