In this paper, we designed and fabricated the frequency mixer, which is the core parts of high frequency head in Ku-band tracking radar. To overcome the problem of single-ended and single-balanced resistive structure, we designed the fine-line structure with balanced mixer, to generate IF signal without distortion in L-band, after receiving the RF signal of the Ku-band. The prototype mixer showed a Noise Figure Max of 6.823dB, Gain of 4.1598~4.676dB and Band Pass of 61MHz in 5 Ku-band samples frequency.

In this paper, we propose a multiple underwater object classification and tracking algorithm using the narrowband tonal and frequency line features extracted from the frequency spectrum of the acoustic signal. The general algorithm using the wideband and narrowband energy has a high tracking error when objects are close and cross each other. But the proposed algorithm shows a good tracking performance for the simulation scenarios generated by the real acoustic data.

Accurate actuator tracking is critical to achieve reliable real-time hybrid simulation results for earthquake engineering research. The frequency-domain evaluation approach provides an innovative way for more quantitative post-simulation evaluation of actuator tracking errors compared with existing time domain based techniques. Utilizing the Fast Fourier Transform the approach analyzes the actuator error in terms of amplitude and phrase errors. Existing application of the approach requires using the complete length of the experimental data. To improve the computational efficiency, two techniques including data decimation and frequency decimation are analyzed to reduce the amount of data involved in the frequency-domain evaluation. The presented study aims to enhance the computational efficiency of the approach in order to utilize it for future on-line actuator tracking evaluation. Both computational simulation and laboratory experimental results are analyzed and recommendations on the two decimation factors are provided based on the findings from this study.

Aging test to estimate life property of polymer insulator is executed through several international standard such as IEC 61109 and CEA tracking wheel test, but is not getting clear conclusion yet. There are two methods in the diagnosis method of polymer insulator such as off-line and on-line. The diagnosis methods in off-line are external condition analysis by the eye, contaminant analysis on surface, surface analysis, pollution withstand voltage test, power frequency flashover voltage test, lightning impulse flashover test, tensile fracture load test and flexural load test. The diagnosis methods in off-line most are the method for virgin and last aged sample. However, the diagnosis method in on-line is method that can be evaluate sample state as progressing continuously aging test in beginning, The diagnosis method in on-line is arranged as following: leakage current measurement, electric field, surface state investigation, thermal image, emitting light measurement and then so. In this paper, the tracking performance of polymer insulator with salt solution which is added surface active agent. The diagnosis of insulator sample has been analyzed by leakage current and visual examination.

In passive sonar system, frequency lines generated by underwater target are very important for detection, tracking and classification. In this paper, the extraction method of unstable frequency line from the time samples of the radiated noise of underwater target is studied. As unstable frequency line is time varying, an extended Kalman filter algorithm which is desirable for nonlinear system is applied to extract unstable frequency line. The proposed method shows good extraction of unstable frequency line by application of simulated signal and real target.

A MTG (Multimode Tracking and Guidance) system is employed to compensate for the limitations of individual seekers such as RF (Radio frequency) or IIR (Imaging Infra-red) and to improve the overall tracking and guidance performance in jamming, clutter, and adverse weather environments. In the MTG system, tracking filter, data association, and data fusion methods are important elements to maximize the effectiveness of precision homing missile guidance. This paper proposes the formulation of a Kalman filter for the estimation of line-of-sight rate from seeker measurements in missiles guided by proportional navigation. Also, we suggest the HPDA (Highest Probability Data Association) and data fusion methods of the MTG system for target tracking in the adverse environments. Mont-Carlo simulation is employed to evaluate the overall tracking performance and guidance accuracy.

A technology of ultrasonic biotelemetry for tracking fish behavior is investigated. The ultrasonic biotelemetry system is constituted by a transmitter and a receiving system. Because a pinger was mainly used for the transmitter, the capability for pinger to possess was investigated and the efficient usage for pinger was examined. A source pressure level and a frequency were synthetically examined so that pinger could realize small size, a light weight, and a long life time. The receiving system is divided roughly into directional hydrophone systems and acoustic positioning systems by the receiving method. The directional hydrophone system is divided into single beam and multiple beam with the number of hydrophone, and the acoustic positioning systems is divided into LBL (Long Base Line), SBL (Short Base Line), and SSBL (Super Short Base Line) on the basis of base line. The present situation, the merits and demerits, and the principle of each receiving method were investigated in detail, and the efficient usage for each receiving method were examined.

In hydro-generator, a groundwall insulation of stator windings gradually deteriorates due to mechanical, thermal, electrical and environmental stresses. These stresses combine to result in loose windings, delamination of the stator insulation and/or electrical tracking of the endwinding, all of which can lead to stator insulation failures. Conventionally, off-line tests such as partial discharge measurement, DC/AC current and .DELTA.tan.delta. tests has been used for estimation of winding condition. However, off-line test requires large power supply and generator outage. In addition, major cause of insulation problems such as loose wedges and slot dischages may not be found with off-line diagnoses. This paper introduces the on-line partial discharge measurement techniques using frequency spectrum analyzer(FSA) for the generator stator windings. The experimental results from the UIAM #1 hydro-generator confirms a optimistic application of on-line generator diagnosis method as a reliable tool for evaluation of winding condition.

The instantaneous frequency gives a frequency value at a time instance. Thus, it is natural to use the instantaneous frequency for detecting disturbances of voltage signal in power line. Various instantaneous frequency estimators are introduced. By applying to different types of disturbed signals, we show the estimators' ability to classify flickers. Also, the computational costs are compared between different instantaneous frequency estimators. The Prony's method (PRONY) and the modified covariance method (MCOV) need relatively smaller amount of calculation than the Teaser-Kaiser energy operator based estimator (DESA II). For an AM-FM modulated signal, the tracking performance of different instantaneous frequency estimators is also compared. Through simulation, it is shown that MCOV produces less variant frequency estimation values than DESA II and PRONY method.

An utility voltage information, including the frequency, phase angle and amplitude is very important in many industrial systems. The grid-connected photovoltaic system in the limelight as alternative energy needs utility voltage information such as frequency, phase angle and magnitude to connect the grid-line. In this paper, it proposes the instantaneous phase-tracking in PLL that uses the frequency from the utility voltage as a sync signal and locks the phase with compensation for phase difference from DPT algorithm. It also proposes not only DFT algorithm execution by every sample not by one period, but also phase-tracking method in a wide range of frequency not a fixed one. This paper shows the feasibility and the usefulness of the proposed methods through the computer simulation and the experiment.
