In this paper, a GPS/MEMS IMU integrated navigation receiver module capable of operating in a high dynamic environment is designed and fabricated, and the results is confirmed. The designed module is composed of RF receiver unit, inertial measurement unit, signal processing unit, correlator, and navigation S/W. The RF receiver performs the functions of low noise amplification, frequency conversion, filtering, and automatic gain control. The inertial measurement unit collects measurement data from a MEMS class IMU applied with a 3-axis gyroscope, accelerometer, and geomagnetic sensor. In addition, it provides an interface to transmit to the navigation S/W. The signal processing unit and the correlator is implemented with FPGA logic to perform filtering and corrrelation value calculation. Navigation S/W is implemented using the internal CPU of the FPGA. The size of the manufactured module is 95.0×85.0×.12.5mm, the weight is 110g, and the navigation accuracy performance within the specification is confirmed in an environment of 1200m/s and acceleration of 10g.

유비쿼터스라는 새로움 페러다임의 도래로 인해 많은 IT산업이 이를 중심으로 많은 발전을 하고 있다. 이러한 유비쿼터스 관련 산업에 있어서 상당 부분 무선 통신기술인 RF를 기반으로 하고 있으며, 이를 활용하여 RFID 시스템 및 센서 네트워크 등이 발전하고 있는 추세이다. 본 논문에서 이러한 무선 통신기술에 적합한 저전력 저전압 Wireless UHF 트렌시버인 CC1020 칩을 이용하여 무선통신시스템을 구현하였다. 이 시스템을 제어하기 위해 MCU와의 Interface를 구성하고 CC1020 칩의 레지스터를 설정하기 위해 4선의 직렬 구성 인터페이스로 모토로라사에서 개발된 근거리용 고속 직렬 동기식 통신규격인 SPI 방식을 이용하였다. 따라서 레지스터 종류 및 설정순서와 타이밍에 대한 내용과 MCU와의 인터페이스 중심으로 설명하였으며, 시스템을 구현하고 실험을 통해 신호의 파형과 데이터 송수신을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we discuss a 3-dimensional localization sensor node using EM waves (Electromagnetic waves) with RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator). Generally EM waves cannot be used in underwater environment, because the signal is highly attenuated by the water medium according to the distance. Although the signal quickly reduces in underwater, the reducing tendency is very clear and uniform. Hence EM waves have possibility as underwater distance sensors. The authors have verified the possibility by theory and several experiments, and developed calibration methods in case of linear and planer environment. For 3-dimensional localization in underwater, it must be known antenna's radiation pattern property in electric plane(called E-plane). In this paper, we proceed experiments to verify attenuation tendency with z axis movement, PLF (Polarization Loss Factor) and ILF (Inclination Loss Factor) with its theoretical approach.

In stator windings of a 6.6kV rotating machine, internal discharge, corona discharge, and surface discharge are mainly caused by internal voids and insulation degradation. In the case of the discharge spark and electromagnetic pulse generated from a discharge source, we can detect it using various RF resonators like an EM sensor. In order to detect these types of electromagnetic sources, we designed and fabricated a planar patch sensor using a CST-MWS simulation, and PD signals from artificial defected stator windings were also measured by the sensor proposed in this study. Furthermore, In the results of the experiment, it showed similar performance to the HFCT sensor.

In this paper, we described a design and implementation of a sensor node for environmental monitoring. The main focus of design for sensor nodes is to isolate MCU for treating sensors from the RF module for considering various communication environment. The second is to make the interface between MCU and varity of sensor. In addition, we choose a narrow band communication module, cc1020, for the admittance of Korea government comminication law. We also use a uC/OS-II as an operating system which is famous for 8bit MCUs. We showed that the communication performance is sufficient to use the communication module in a out-door environment through several experiments in that it is possible to transmit between loom distance through experiments in a mountain.

The security threat types in underwater communication networks environment are almost the same as the terrestrial, but the security of mechanisms the terrestrial RF-based networks environment can not be directly applied due to not only the limited resources of each node but also unsafe channel such as low propagation delay, high bit error rate etc. Nevertheless there has not been much research on the security of underwater acoustic communication networks. Therefore, in this paper analyzes the differences between the terrestrial communication networks and underwater acoustic communication networks, and identifies issues that are the starting points of underwater communication networks security research.

We propose and develop Home Security robot system based on Sensor Network (HSSN) configured by sensor nodes including radio frequency (RF), ultrasonic, temperature, light and sound sensors. Our system can acknowledge security alarm events that are acquired by sensor nodes and relayed in the hop-by-hop transmission way. There are sensor network, Home Security Mobile Robot (HSMR) and Home Server(HS) in this system. In the experimental results of this system, we presented that our system has more enhanced performance of response to emergency context and more speedy and accurate path planning to target position for arriving an alarm zone with obstacle avoidance and acquiring the context-aware information.

A new planar-type micro gas sensor was designed and fabricated on silicon substrate and the operating characteristics of the sensor were investigated. The thin sensitive film of the sensor was fabricated by spin-coating of the SnO$_2$ sol solution which was synthesized by hydrothermal method. The spin-coating method for preparation of sensing layer was adopted to improve the long-term stability of the fabricated sensing film instead of physical methods such as rf sputtering and thermal evaporation. The fabricated microsensor showed a fairly good sensing performance for CO gas in air at 250$^{\circ}C$ The sensitivity(S=Ra/Rg) was shown to be about 5 to 2000ppm CO with heating power of 50mW.

$MoO_3$ thin films were deposited on electrode and heater screen-printed alumina substrates in en atmosphere by RF reactive sputtering. The deposition was performed at $300^{\circ}C$ with 350W of a forward power in an $Ar-O_2$ atmosphere. The working pressure was maintained at $3{\times}10^{-2}$mtorr and all deposited films were annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ for 5hours. The surface morphology of films was observed by using a SEM and crystalline phases were analyzed by XRD. The sensing properties were investigated in term of gas concentration under exposure of reducing gases such as $H_2$, $NH_3$ and CO.

Non-contacting capacitive sensor based on Thompson-Lampard theorem have been fabricated and characterized for measuring of 때 order displacements. To overcome disadvantages of the existed capacitive sensors of parallel plate type with 2-electrodes and 3-electrodes, the developed new sensor was designed to have 4-electrodes with a constant gap of 0.2mm between the electrodes. Two of the electrodes were used as a high potential electrode and a low one, the other two electrodes were used as guard electrodes. These electrodes were made from copper using RF sputtering system on a sapphire plate with diameter 17 mm and thickness 0.7 mm. This sensor can be used for measuring the distance not only between the sensor and metallic target connected to ground potential but also non-metallic target without ground connection.
