In this paper, we have studied about optimal transmission efficiency characteristics of pulse energy in a coal plant for removing environmental polluted gas. The electrical efficiency of pulse power systems depends on impedance of the reactor. To obtain high efficiency, we used MPC(Magnetic pulse compressor) as the power switch and tested their characteristics as electrode length of the reactor and charging voltage of capacitor, As results, we obtained a compressed pulse such as pulse voltage of 10㎸, rising time 200ns and pulse width of 500ns. With increasing electrode length, the load impedance was decreased but the electrical efficiency was increased.

In recent years, compressed sensing (CS) algorithm has been studied in various research areas including medical imaging. To use the CS algorithm, the signal that is to be reconstructed needs to have the property of sparsity But, most medical images generally don't have this property. One method to overcome this problem is by using sparsifying transform. However, MR imaging, compared to other medical imaging modality, has the unique property that by using appropriate image acquisition pulse sequences, the image contrast can be modified. In this paper, we propose the possibility of applying the CS algorithm with non-sparsifying transform to the pulse sequence modified MR images and improve the reconstruction performance of the CS algorithm by using an appropriate sparsifying transform. We verified the proposed contents by computer simulation using Shepp-Logan phantom and in vivo data.

In this paper, we study on the mutual characteristics between transmitting efficiency of pulse energy and wall plug consumed power of non-thermal Plasma for removing environmental pollutive gas of coal plant. To obtain high pulse energy of our system, we used MPC(magnetic pulse compressor) of power switch and tested their characteristics by adjusting electrode length of reactor and charging voltage in capacitor. As a result, we obtained consumed power of wall plug and a compressed pulse of voltage 110kV, rising time 500ns. Impedance of load on increasing electrode length was decreased, but electrical efficiency was increased. These results indicate we can control critical voltage of pulse corona and electrical efficiency of economic cost in power plant.

In this paper, the effects of phase noise on the radar system were analyzed in terms of 3 point of view. The impact(s) on the compressed pulse waveform, the FMICW(Frequency Modulated Interrupted Continuous Wave) radar performance and the receiver sensitivity were investigated. From the investigation, it was indicated that the phase noise over 10 kHz offset frequency makes the side lobe level of compressed pulse worse. Also it was founded that the FMICW radar performance, especially at the noise level of range profile, is related to the phase noise. Finally, the investigation showed that the phase noise at local oscillator affects the receiver sensitivity.

The characteristics of stimulated Brillouin scattering wave for applications to high power laser was experimentally investigated. The peak power reflectivity and the phase conjugation fidelity of Stokes wave with respect to the focal length of lens were measured, and the phase conjugation fidelity for a compressed part of the Stokes wave was also investigated. For the long focal length of lens.(f=100 cm), the peak power of the Stokes wave amounts to about twice as high as that of incident wave. The phase conjugation fidelity for the compressed leading pulse is up to 90%, better than that for other temporal parts of the Stokes pulse. In spatial distribution, the Stokes pulse from the axial region has the largest SBS gain, and it has been ascertained as a best candidate to the application due to excellent pulse compression, peak power reflectivity, and good phase conjugation fidelity.

We have developed Magnetic Pulse Compression System to realize repetitive excimer laser excitation. The principle of this system is to use the large change in permiability owing to the nolinear characteristics of ferro-magnetic material (Metglas2605s-2 metal ribon). Prior to the laser operation, the MPC system was tested with a dummy load (5$\Omega$) and laser head. Laser head has a discharge volume of 1.0 (w) x 2.0 (h) x 20.0(1) cm. This MPC system compressed a 6.2us (FWHM), 80 A pulse into a 0.4us(FWHM), 1.3kA pulse.

A reliable and compact pulse power supply using a thyratron and a magnetic pulse compression (MPC) circuit was developed for a metal vapor laser. The life time of the pulse power supply is expected to be much longer than that of a conventional thyratron-discharge type pulse power supply. A thyratron generated a long pulse of its conduction pulse width 500 ns and then it was compressed to less than 80 ns of its output voltage rise time by a three stage MPC circuit. This pulse power supply was applied to a laser plasma tube of 30 mm inner diameter and 1.5 m discharge length. It was operated several hundreds hours without any troubles.

In this Paper, a new harmonic imaging technique is proposed and evaluated experimentally. In the proposed method, a weighted chin signal with a hanning window is transmitted. The RF samples obtained on each array element are individually compressed by correlating with the reference signal defined as the 2nd harmonic (2f0) component of a transmitted chirp signal generated in a square-law system. The proposed method uses the compressed 2f0 component to form an image, for which the crosscorrelation term with f0 component should be suppressed below at least -60dB. After experiment, the 6dB pulse width and peak sidelobe level of the compressed 2f0 component were 0.7us and -60dB, respectively. This result shows that the proposed method can successfully eliminate the f0 component with a single transmit-receive event and therefore is more efficient than the conventional pulse inversion (PI) method in terms of frame rate. We also observed that the 2nd harmonic compont starts to decrease for source pressure higher than 210kPa in water, which implies that SNR of the 2nd harmonic imaging using short pulses cnanot be incresed beyond a certain limit.

Utilizing self-phase modulation effects of a dispersion-shifted fiber and delay-line characteristics of two gratings, mode-locked 80 ps pulses at 1.319${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ wavelength from a Nd: YAG laser are compressed down to 2.1 ps. These pulses are further compressed down to 340 fs using higher order soliton effects in a common single mode fiber.
