본 논문에서는 간단한 형태의 적분기와 1-비트 ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter)로 구성된 AFE (Analog Front End)를 사용하는 Noncoherent IR-UWB (Impulse Radio-Ultra Wide Band) 레인징 (Ranging) 시스템을 제시하고, 레인징 성능에 영향을 주는 AFE 특성에 대해 정의한다. 이 레인징 시스템에서 적분기는 단순히 수신된 신호의 에너지만을 축적하며, 다중 비트 ADC를 필요로 하는 Coherent IR-UWB 시스템과는 달리 1-비트 ADC를 사용하게 되므로, 시스템 구현 측면에서 현실적이고 매우 용이하다고 할 수 있다. 반면, Noncoherent 방식의 특성상 수신 신호를 단순히 제곱하여 적분하게 되므로, 잡음과 다중경로 페이딩 등의 채널 특성에 따라 레인징 정밀도는 큰 영향을 받게 된다. 그러나 이러한 현실적인 중요성에도 불구하고, 현재까지의 IR-UWB 레인징 시스템 연구에서는 AFE 특성 변화에 따른 성능 분석에 관한 결과는 거의 제시되지 않고 있다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 Noncoherent IR-UWB 레인징 시스템을 사용하는 경우 다양한 무선 채널 환경에서 AFE 특성 변화에 따른 레인징 성능을 분석한다. 또한 이를 통해 실제 UWB 하드웨어를 설계할 경우 규격 설정에 고려해야 할 파라미터들을 제시한다.

The main issue of CT is radiation dose reduction to patient. The purpose of this study was to estimate the image quality and dose by iterative reconstruction (IR) for adults and pediatrics. Adult and pediatric images of phantom were obtained with 120 and 140 kV, respectively, in accordance with radiation dose in terms of volume CT dose index ($CTDI_{vol}$): 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 mGy. Then, the adult and the pediatric images are reconstructed by filtered-backprojection (FBP) and iterative reconstruction (IR). The images were analyzed by signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). SNR is improved when IR and 140 kV are applied to acquire adult and pediatric images. In the adult abdomen, according to diagnostic reference level, the SNR values of bone were increased about 27.84 % and 27.77 % at 120 kV and 140 kV, and the tissue's SNR values of the IR were increased about 29.84 % and 33.46 % 120 and 140 kV, respectively. Dose is reduced to 40% in adults abdomen images when using IR reconstruction. In pediatric images, the bone's SNR were also increased about 17.70% and 18.17 % at 120 kV and 140 kV. The tissue's SNR were increased about 26.73 % and 26.15 % at 120 kV and 140 kV. Radiation dose is reduced from 30% to 50% for bone and tissue images. In the case of examinations for adult and pediatric CT, IR technique reduces radiation dose to patient, and it could be applied to adult and pediatric imaging.

This paper is a part of developing a computer code that can be used to generate IR images of a naval ship by considering the emitted and reflected infrared signals. The spectral radiance received by an IR sensor is consisted of the self-emitted component from the ship surface, the reflected component of the solar/sky irradiance at the ship surface, the emitted radiance from the ship surface and the exhaust plume gas, and the scattered radiance by the atmosphere. The plume gas radiance occupies a large part of the emitted radiance from a naval ship in operation. Therefore plume gas radiance must be taken into account when calculating the radiance from a naval ship for reliable IR images. In this paper, IR images of a naval ship with the exhaust gas effect in various environmental conditions are generated by using an exhaust gas prediction model called the JPL model. The contrast radiance (CR) values of the IR images are calculated to analyze the effect of the exhaust gas radiance quantitatively. The results obtained by quantitative analysis show that the IR signatures with the exhaust plume gas are 2.26 times larger than those neglecting the plume gas effect. The effect of the exhaust plume gas is shown to be more eminent in winter than in summer in the daytime.

횡단보도와 교차로에서 시각 장애인을 위한 보행 안전시설은 부족하다. 시각 장애인을 위해 인도에 점자 블록이 설치되고 교차로에 RF 원격 제어 시스템으로 제어되는 신호등과 음향 신호기가 설치되어 있다. RF 원격 제어 시스템은 하나의 주파수를 사용하여 교차로에서 인접한 신호등과 음향 발생기들을 동시에 동작시키는 문제가 있다. 본 논문은 비콘을 사용하여 교차로에 설치된 시각 장애인을 위한 신호등과 음향 신호기를 식별하고 진행 방향의 신호등과 음향 신호기를 적외선 통신으로 동작시키는 스마트 지팡이를 개발하였다. 본 논문에서 개발한 스마트 지팡이는 블루투스 통신을 통해 모바일 앱과 연동하여 시각 장애인을 위한 보행자 내비게이션을 제공 할 수 있다.

Recently, the observation of the electrocatalytic behavior of individual nanoparticles (NPs) by electrochemical amplification method has been reported. For example, the Iridium oxide ($IrO_x$) NP collision on the Pt UME was observed via electrocatalytic water oxidation. However, the bare Pt UME had poor reproducibility for the observation of NP collision signal and required an inconvenient surface pre-treatment for the usage. In this manuscript, we has been investigated other metal electrode such as Cu UME for the reproducible data analysis and convenient use. The $IrO_x$ NP collision was successively observed on the bare Cu UME and the reproducibility in collision frequency was improved comparing with previous case using the $NaBH_4$ pre-treated Pt UME. Also, the adhesion coefficient between NP and the Cu UME was studied for better understanding of the single NP collision system.

This letter proposes an energy-detection-based non-data-aided weighted non-coherent receiver (NDA-WNCR) scheme for impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) pulse-position modulated signals. Compared to the conventional WNCR, the optimal weights of the proposed NDA-WNCR are tremendously simplified as the maximum eigenvector of the IR-UWB signal energy sample autocorrelation matrix. The NDA-WNCR serves to blindly obtain the optimal weights and entirely circumvent the transmission of training symbols or channel estimation in practice. Analysis and simulation results verify that the bit error rate (BER) performance of the NDA-WNCR closely approaches the ideal BER of the conventional WNCRs.

The present study uses the GOES IR brightness temperature to examine the temporal and spatial variability of cloud activity over the region $25^{\circ}N-45^{\circ}N$, $105^{\circ}E-135^{\circ}E$ and analyzes the coherence of eastern Asian summer season rainfall in Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model. Time-longitude diagram of the time period from June to July 2005 shows a signal of eastward propagation in the WRF model and convective index derived from GOES IR data. The rain streaks in time-latitude diagram reveal coherence during the experiment period. Diurnal and synoptic scales are evident in the power spectrum of the time series of convective index and WRF rainfall. The diurnal cycle of early morning rainfall in the WRF model agrees with GOES IR data in the Korean Peninsula, but the afternoon convection observed by satellite observation in China is not consistent with the WRF rainfall which is represented at the dawn. Although there are errors in strength and timing of convection, the model predicts a coherent tendency of rainfall occurrence during summer season.

This paper analyzed the characteristics of the Lossy JPEG of the meteorological satellite image, and analyzed the quality of the Lossy JPEG compression, which is proper for the LRIT(Low Rate Information Transmission) to be serviced to the SDUS(Small-scale Data Utilization Station) system of the COMS(Communication, Oceans, Meteorological Satellite). Since COMS is to start running after 2008, we collected the data of the MTSAT-1R(Multi-functional Transport Satellite -1R) for analysis, and after forming the original image to be used to LRIT by each channel and time zone of the satellite image data, we set the different quality with the Lossy JPEG compression, and compressed the original data. For the characteristic analysis of the Lossy JPEG, we measured PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Rate), compression rate and the time spent in compression following each quality of Lossy JPEG compression. As a result of the analysis of the satellite image data of the MTSAT-1R, the ideal quality of the Lossy JPEG compression was found to be 90% in the VIS Channel, 85% in the IR1 Channel, 80% in the IR2 Channel, 90% in the IR3 Channel and 90% in the IR4 Channel.
