In this paper, the voltage tracking control of a conventional DC-DC boost converter affected by unknown, time-varying circuit parameter perturbations is investigated. Based on the fundamental property of incremental passivity, a passivity based control law is designed. Then, to obtain a better disturbance rejection property, two generalized proportional integral (GPI) observers are employed to estimate the time-varying uncertainties in the output voltage and inductor current channels, and the estimated values are applied as feedforward compensation. Moreover, the global trajectory tracking performance of a system with disturbances is ensured under the composite controller. Finally, simulation and experiment studies are provided to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed controller delivers a promising disturbance rejection capability as well as a good nominal tracking performance.

Due to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) modernization, the recently launched GNSS satellites transmit signals at various frequency bands of L1, L2 and L5. Considering the Korea Positioning System (KPS) signal and other GNSS augmentation signals in the future, there is a high probability of applying more complex communication techniques to the new GNSS signals. For the reason, GNSS receivers based on flexible Software Defined Radio (SDR) concept needs to be developed to evaluate various experimental communication techniques by accessing each signal processing module in detail. In this paper, we introduce a multi-constellation (GPS/Galileo/BeiDou) multi-band (L1/L2/L5) SDR by utilizing Ettus USRP N210. The signal reception module of the developed SDR includes down-conversion, analog-to-digital conversion, signal acquisition, and tracking. The down-conversion module is designed based on the super-heterodyne method fitted for MHz sampling. The signal acquisition module performs PRN code generation and FFT operation and the signal tracking module implements delay/phase/frequency locked loops only by software. In general, it is difficult to sample entire main lobe components of L5 band signals due to their higher chipping rate compared with L1 and L2 band signals. Experiment result shows that it is possible to acquire and track the under-sampled signals by the developed SDR.

Construction projects have frequently exceeded their schedule despite reliable estimates at the start of a project. This problem was attributed to unpredictable causes at the beginning and to shortage of proper tools to accurately predict project completion date. To supplement this difficulty, project managers need a comprehensive system that can be employed to monitor the progress of an ongoing project and to evaluate potential delay for achieving the goal on time. This paper proposed a progressive-based expert system for quantitative assessments of project delay at the early stages of the execution. Furthermore, the system is used to inspect the change of the uncertainty on completion date and its magnitude. The proposed expert system is helpful for furnishing project managers a warning signal as a project is going behind schedule and for tracking the changed uncertainty at a desired confidence level. The main objectives of this paper are to offer a new system to overcome the difficulties of conventional forecasting tools and to apply a construction project into the system to illustrate its effectiveness. This paper focuses on construction phase of project development and is intended for the use by project managers.

The Korean Institute of Technology Satellite (KITSAT-1) is the first satellite developed by the Satellite Technology Research Center and the University of Surrey. KITSAT-1 is orbiting the Earth's orbit as space debris with a 1,320 km altitude after the planned mission. Due to its relatively small size and altitude, tracking the KITSAT-1 was a difficult task. In this research, we analyzed the tracking results of KITSAT-1 for one year using the Midland Space Radar (MSR) in Texas and the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR) in Alaska operated by LeoLabs, Inc. The tracking results were analyzed on a weekly basis for MSR and PFISR. The observation was conducted by using both stations at an average frequency of 10 times per week. The overall corrected range measurements for MSR and PFISR by LeoLabs were under 50 m and 25 m, respectively. The ionospheric delay, the dominant error source, was confirmed with the International Reference of Ionosphere-16 model and Global Navigation Satellite System data. The weekly basis orbit determination results were compared with two-line element data. The comparison results were used to confirm the orbital consistency of the estimated orbits.

동기는 유선 통신뿐만 아니라 무선 통신에서도 중요한 요소이다. 특히 GPS에서 사용하는 대역확산 통신방식에 있어서는 더욱 중요하다. 50(Synchronous Oscillator)는 동기, 동조, 필터, 증폭, 분주를 하나의 과정으로 처리할 수 있는 회로망이며 입력 신호가 없을 때에는 $w_0$ 에서 자주 발진하는 발진기이지만 SO는 추적 대역폭 내에서 위상이 $180^{\circ}$ 바뀐다. 따라서 이를 해결하기 위하여 CPSO를 사용하였으며 CPSO(Coherent Phase Synchronous Oscillator)는 SO에2개의 외부 루프를 첨가함으로서 구성되며 CPSO는 높은 잡음 제거능력과 빠른 획득시간의 SO 특성을 유지하는 동안 더 넓은 추적범위와 zero offset의 위상 응답을 가지게 되며 입출력 신호의 위상이 일치하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 성질을 이용하여 CPSO를 GPS(Global Positioning System)의 데이터 추출회로에 적용하였으며 우수한 데이터 추출능력을 확인하였다.

A discrete model reference control scheme for a vehicle four wheel steering system(4WS) is proposed and evaluated for a class of discrete time nonlinar dynamics. The schmen employs a neural network to identify the plan systems, wher the neural network estimates the nonlinear dynamics of the plant. The algorithm is proven to be globally stable, with tracking errors converging to the neighborhood of zero. The merits of this scheme is that the global system stability is guaranteed. Whith thd resulting identification model which contains the neural networks, the parameters of controller are adjusted. The proposed scheme is applied to the vehicle active four wheel system and shows the validity and effectiveness through simulation. The three-degree-of freedom vehicle handling model is used to investigate vehicle handing performances. In simulation of the J-turn maneuver, the yaw rate overshoot reduction of a typical mid-size car is improved by 30% compared to a two wheel steering system(2WS) case, resulting that the proposed scheme gives faster yaw rate response andl smaller side slip angle than the 2WS case.

A design of CPS attitude determination system is described in this paper. The designed system is a low cost high precision 24 channel single frequency GPS(Global Positioning System) receiver which provides a precise absolute heading and pitch (or roll) as well as a position. It uses commercial chip-set and consists of two RF parts, two signal-tracking parts, a processor, memory parts and I/Os. In order to determine precise attitude, accurate carrier phase measurements and an efficient integer ambiguity resolution method are required. To meet these requirements, a PLL (Phase Locked Loops) is designed, and an algorithm called ARCE (Ambiguity Resolution with Constraint Equation) is adopted. The hardware and software structure of the system will be described, and the performance evaluated under various conditions will be presented. The test results will promise that more reliable navigation system be possible because the system provides all navigational information such as position, velocity, time and attitude.

Galileo 시스템은 통신 물리계층으로 직접수열/대역확산(direct sequence/spread spectrum, DS/SS) 시스템을 사용한다. DS/SS 시스템은 수신신호로부터 정보를 복원하기 위해 수신신호의 확산신호와 수신기에서 발생한 확산신호의 동기를 정확하게 결정하고, 유지해야 한다. 이를 위해 DS/SS 시스템은 획득과 추적 단계를 수행해 동기를 맞춘다. 이상적인 환경에서 최적 부호추적기는 EL-DLL이다(delay lock loop with early minus late discriminator). EL-DLL은 정확한 동기시점을 기준으로 확산신호의 상관함수가 정확히 대칭인 특징을 이용해 추적을 수행한다. 그러나 다중경로 신호가 수신되었을 때 상관함수의 대칭성이 왜곡되며, 이로 인해 추적이 완료되어 동기시점을 결정한 후에도 일정한 동기오차가 존재한다. 이처럼 추적기가 동기시점을 결정한 후에도 잔존하는 동기오차를 추적편이라 한다. 이상적인 환경에서 Galileo BOC(1,1) 신호로 변조된 확산신호는 정확한 동기시점에서 최고 값이 나타나며, 이 시점을 기준으로 반 칩(chip) 이른 상관시간 옵셋과 늦은 상관시간 옵셋에서 극소 값을 갖는다. 이때 다중경로신호는 항상 가시신호에 비해 늦게 수신되기 때문에 정확한 동기시점을 기준으로 반 칩 이른 상관 시간 옵셋 주변의 상관 값은 다중경로신호에 의해 크게 왜곡되지 않는 특징을 갖는다. 본 논문은 이 특징을 바탕으로 Galileo BOC(1,1)에 알맞은 추적편이 완화기법을 제안하고, 기존 기법과 제안한 기법의 추적편이 특성을 분석한다.

This paper proposes a quasi-optimal linear DOA (Direction-of-Arrival) estimator which is necessary for the development of a real-time robot auditory system tracking moving acoustic source. It is well known that the use of conventional nonlinear filtering schemes may result in the severe performance degradation of DOA estimation and not be preferable for real-time implementation. These are mainly due to the inherent nonlinearity of the acoustic signal model used for DOA estimation. This motivates us to consider a new uncertain linear acoustic signal model based on the linear prediction relation of a noisy sinusoid. Using the suggested measurement model, it is shown that the resultant DOA estimation problem is cast into the NCRKF (Non-Conservative Robust Kalman Filtering) problem [12]. NCRKF-based DOA estimator provides reliable DOA estimates of a fast moving acoustic source in spite of using the noise-corrupted measurement matrix in the filter recursion and, as well, it is suitable for real-time implementation because of its linear recursive filter structure. The computational efficiency and DOA estimation performance of the proposed method are evaluated through the computer simulations.
