In this paper, two receive diversity combining techniques are proposed for single-carrier Sequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA)-based cooperative relay systems when DFT spreading sizes for mobile station (MS) and relay station (RS) are different. A simplified-MRC (5-MRC) technique performs diversity combining in the time domain using the estimated channel weight and initial values obtained by SC-FDMA signal detection. An interference rejection-MRC (IR-MRC) technique performs diversity combining in the frequency domain by adjusting DFT spreading size in the receiver. It is shown by computer simulation that the proposed receive diversity combining techniques achieve a significant performance gain over the conventional MRC technique with zero forcing (ZF) detector.

When up-scaling algorithms for visible light images are applied to infrared (IR) images, they rarely work because IR images are usually blurred. In order to solve such a problem, this paper proposes an up-scaling algorithm for IR images. We employ adaptive dynamic range encoding (ADRC) as a simple classifier based on the observation that IR images have weak details. Also, since human visual systems are more sensitive to edges, our algorithm focuses on edges. Then, we add pre-processing in learning phase. As a result, we can improve visibility of IR images without increasing computational cost. Comparing with Anchored neighborhood regression (A+), the proposed algorithm provides better results. In terms of just noticeable blur, the proposed algorithm shows higher values by 0.0201 than the A+, respectively.

Test research on Infra-Red Thermography(IRT) technique in a supersonic wind tunnel has been conducted. Inadvertent technical difficulties and their solutions associated with the technique in running of the facility were examined. Two flow conditions at Mach number of 3 and 4 were considered. A double compression ramp model, that replicates realistic high-speed vehicle configuration, was used as test model. The present IR data were compared with shadowgraph visualization images and laminar computational fluid dynamics(CFD) results. It has been shown that the IRT technique can be used in quantifying various fluid dynamic features such as flow transition, separation and three-dimensional phenomena around the double compression ramp model.

In this paper, we propose methods to improve image-based auto-focus that can compensate for drawbacks of traditional auto-focus control. When adjusting the focus, there is a problem that the focus window cannot be set to the same position if the camera's LOS is not directed at the same location and flow or shake. To address this issue, we applied image tracking techniques to improve optimal focus localization accuracy. And also, although the same focus value should be calculated at the same focus step, but different values can be calculated by camera's fine shaking or image disturbance due to atmospheric scattering. To tackle this problem a SAFS (Stable Adjacency Frame Selection) has been proposed. As a result of this study, our proposed methodology shows more accurate than traditional methods in terms of finding best focus position.

This study is focused on the structural dynamic responses, i.e., vibration analysis results of the high-accuracy observation multi-axial camera, which is installed and operated for the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and helicopter etc. And, the authors newly suggest a modeling technology of the ball bearing applied to the camera by using three-axis spring elements. The vibration analysis results well agreed to the randum vibration test results. Also, the vibration responses characteristics of the multi-axial camera through the time history analysis of the random vibration were analyzed and evaluated. The above results can be applied to the FE-modeling of the ball bearings used for the space cameras.

최근 입력소자로 활용되는 터치스크린은 키보드나 마우스와 같은 입력장치를 사용하지 않고, 스크린에 손가락, 펜 등을 접촉하여 입력하는 방식이다. 터치패널의 구현방식에 따라 저항막(Resistive) 방식, 정전용량(Capacitive) 방식, SAW (Surface Accoustic Wave; 초음파) 방식, IR (Infrared; 적외선) 방식등으로 구분된다. 특히 최근 관심을 받고 있는 IR 방식은 적외선이 사람의 눈에는 보이지 않으나, 직진성을 가지고 있어 장애물이 있으면 차단되는 특성을 이용한 방식이다. IR방식의 터치패널은 발광(Light emitting)소자와 수광(Light detecting)소자가 마주하도록 배치되어 터치에 의해 차단된 좌표를 인식하게 되며, ITO 필름 등이 필요 없어 Glass 1장으로도 구현이 가능하며 투과율이 우수하다. 이러한 IR 방식의 터치패널을 제작하기 위하여 사용된 IR 광검출기는 광학적 band-gap이 작은 박막물질을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 IR 광검출을 위한 물질로 SiGe를 co-sputtering 기법을 이용하여 성장시켰다. 일반적으로 SiGe 박막을 성장시키기 위하여 저압화학기상증착법(low pressure chemical vapor deposition, LPCVD)이나 고진공 LPCVD를 사용하지만 본 연구에서는 CVD에 비하여 무독성이면서 환경친화적이고 초기투자비용이 낮은 증착장비인 sputtering을 이용하였다. 본 연구에서 성장된 SiGe 박막은 400$^{\circ}C$에서 rf plasma가 인가된 Ge과 dc plasma가 인가된 Si의 power를 조절하여 결정화도가 70% (Fig. 1)이고 결정성장방향이 (111)과 (220)방향으로 성장하는 SiGe 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 co-sputtering 성장조건에 따라 성장된 SiGe의 박막 특성을 논의할 것이다.

In this paper, a read-in integrated circuit (RIIC) for IR scene projectors (IRSPs) adopting a sub-frame control technique is proposed, which minimizes the reduction of the apparent temperature of the IR images projected from IRSPs operating at a frame rate of 30 Hz. The proposed sub-frame control technique significantly reduces the amount of scene data loss on capacitors, which is caused by leakage currents flowing through MOSFET switches during holding periods, by dividing a unit frame into 8 sub-frames and refreshing the same scene data for each sub-frame. A current-drive RIIC was designed for the higher apparent temperature of IR radiated from the emitter, and it receives the scene data as a form of analog voltages from an external DAC. A prototype chip with a $64{\times}32$ RIIC array was fabricated using Magnachip/SKhynix $0.35{\mu}m$ 2-poly 4-metal CMOS process, and the measured maximum output data current is $230.3{\mu}A$. This amount of current ensures the projection of IR images whose maximum apparent temperature is $366.2^{\circ}C$ in the mid-wavelength IR (MWIR) when applied to a prototype emitter having a resistance of $15k{\Omega}$.

For the combat survivability, an infrared signature emitted from aircraft is needed to be predicted and analyzed. In this study, we studied the infrared signature from the exhaust plume from the viewpoint of Infrared(IR) detector. The Line-By-Line method using the radiation database is used for radiative property, and radiative intensity analysis is conducted along 1-D line of sight based on the radiative property. The numerical thermo-fluid field for the plume is conducted by ANSYS FLUENT, while setting the lines of sight having the different detection angle on the thermo-fluid field. We found the high IR signature on the line of sight passing through the locally high temperature region of the plume inside, and the strongest signature from the line of sight toward the nozzle surface. Based on this, it confirms the influence of the surface radiative emission on the infrared signature.
