  • This paper describes an ultra-precision electronic clinometer, which is based on the capacitive-based fluid type, for detection of small inclination angles. The main parts of the clinometer low-noise electronics are two capacitance measurement circuits for converting the capacitances of the capacitors of the clinometer into voltages, and a differential amplifier for obtaining the difference of the capacitances, which is proportional to the input inclination angle. A 16 bit analog to digital (AD) converter is also embedded into the same circuit board, whose output is sent to a PC via RS-232C, for achieving a small noise level down to tens of ${\mu}v$. A compensation method, which is referred to as the delay time method for shortening the stabilization time of the sensor was also discussed. Experimental results have shown the possibility of achieving a measurement resolution of $0.0001^{\circ}$ as well as the quick measurement with the delay time method.

  • Software defined radio(SDR) has a goal that places the analog-to-digital converter(ADC) as near the antenna as possible. But current technique actually can't do analog-to-digital converting about RF band signals. So one method is studying that samples RF band signals to IF band. One of the ways Sub-Sampling technique can convert signals from RF band to IF band without oscillator. If Sub-Sampling technique is used, over 2 bands can convert signals from RF band to IF band. But due to the filter performance in RF band, it is possible to generate interference between signals that is converted in low frequency band. The effect degrades performance. In this paper, we propose one method that uses time division multiplexing(TDM) method as a solution to avoid interference between signals. By doing TDM and Sub-Sampling at the same time that method can get signals without large changes of structures.

  • Deramping technique has been widely used to acquire high resolution SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) images for the advantage of the data size and the processing time. However, unwanted spurious signals caused by SAR hardware can be leaked in the process of converting into a digital signal through the ADC(Analog-Digital Converter) and added in a echo signal. These tones make image quality degrade significantly. In order to solve this problem, the unwanted tones need to be detected by analysing the characteristic of the noise tone and then effectively removed from raw data. In this paper, we propose a method for efficiently removing noise tone on the raw data based on the characteristic of spurious signals.

  • A new method for making automatic electroencephalogram(EEG) report based on the automatic quantitative interpretation of awake EEG was developed. We first analysed a. relationship between EEG reports and quantitative EEG interpretation done by a qualified electroencephalographer(EEGer) for 22 subjects. Based on the analysed relationship and usual process of report making by the EEGer, we defined all terminology necessary for EEG report and established rules for EEG report making. By the combined use of the proposed EEG report making and the method for automatic quantitative EEG interpretation presented at '90 KACC, we were able to make the automatic EEG reports which were equivalent to the EEG reports written by the EEGer. As all the procedures were programmed in a personal computer equipped with an AD (analogue-to-digital) converter, the automatic EEG reports were obtained in almost real time in usual actual EEG recording situation with only a few seconds time lag for the analysis in the computer. The proposed report making method and the quantitative EEG interpretation method will be effectively applicable to the clinical use as an assistant tool for physicians.

  • In this paper, we designed and fabricated a receiving modem that can be applied to guided weapons can change real-time targets with little effect of fading. The designed modem consists of synchronous detector, timing error estimator, timing recovery, differential decoder and viterbi decoder, and it's implemented in FPGA so that it can be redesigned and modified according to requirements. The modem board was directly converted from IF frequency to baseband and converted into digital data through ADC. It is confirmed that it is applicable to the guided weapons that changing real-time targets through simulations, measurements and test.

  • This paper describes the usefulness of new control method in HVDC link system which suffers from severe condition of weak ac system. The proposed control scheme is used for the positive feedback control which directly controlls dc current at dc link system. The object of this paper is to improve the transient response of HVDC link system in disturbances such as faults. To achieve this objective, digital time-domain simulations are employed by the Electro Magnetic Transient Program for DC system(EMTDC).

  • On-The-Fly (OTF) observation method is developed for the efficient use of 6 M radio telescope at Seoul Radio Astronomy Observatory (SRAO). This technique, in which data and information of antenna position are recorded synchronously while driving a telescope regularly and rapidly across a field, provides more efficient use of telescope time and better calibration of the acquired data than the traditional point-to-point observation method does. For the realization of the method, we (1) added RT-Linux modules to the existing operating system, (2) replaced digital voltmeter with voltage-to-frequency converter, and (3) modified many SRAO observation programs. By observing Moon and G78.2+2.7 using this method and comparing them with previous observations, we verify the successful operation and efficiency of the OTF observation mode.
