The synthetic focusing in the ultrasonic imaging systems has been formed in the way that one element transmits a circular wave and receives an echo signal. The amplitude of the signal transmitted from one element is too small to propagate a long distance so that the SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) is very low in an image obtained by the synthetic focusing. To solve this problem, a defocusing method which uses several elements has been proposed. In this method, the SNR is improved due to using several elements to transmit the circular wave. But if the number of transmitting elements increases, the phase distortion is severe in the defocusing method. In this paper, we propose a new method that can generate a circular wave using a lot of elements without phase distortion. At first, we generate limited plane waves with different propagation angles and then superpose them to make a circular wave. We show that the circular wave can be used to improve SNR in the real-time 3D ultrasonic imaging as well as the synthetic focusing through computer simulation and experiments.

The Purpose of. this study was to investigate the relationship between sociocultural attitude toward appearance and appearance-management behavior. The method of the study was survey research by using questionnaires. Subjects were 323 females in their twenties. Statistical analysis methods were frequency, percentage, factor analysis, one-way ANOVA, X²-test, and Duncan's multiple range test. The results of the study were as follows. As for appearance-management behaviors of females in their twenties, they experienced in diet, plastic surgery, skin care, make up, and hair dyeing. There were significant differences in body satisfaction between groups according to body image distortion. Respondents were barely satisfied with their body, and the group with high body image distortion showed low body satisfaction. Sociocultural attitude toward appearance factors was analyzed into 2 factors, iternalization of mass-media and social recognition toward appearance, which respondents considered importantly. A significant difference was found in sociocultural attitude toward appearance and appearance management behavior. The group with positive sociocultural attitude toward appearance was analyzed to show high appearance concern and many experiences of appearance management behaviors.

This paper investigated the effects of frequency band limitation on perceptual characteristics of Korean consonants. Monosyllabic speech (144 syllables of CV type, 56 syllables of VC type, 8 syllables of V type) produced by two announcers were low- and high-pass filtered with cutoff frequencies ranging from 300 to 5000 Hz. Six listeners with normal hearing performed perception test by types of filter and cutoff frequencies. We reported phoneme recognition rates and types of perception error of band-limited Korean consonants to examine how frequency distortion in the process of speech transmission affect listener's perception. The results showed that recognition rates varied with the following factors: position in a syllable, manner of articulation, place of articulation, and phonation types. Consonants in the final position were stronger to the frequency band limitation than those in the initial position. Fricatives and Affricates are stronger than stops. Fortis consonants were less stronger than their lenis or aspirated counterparts. Types of perception error also varied depending on such factors as consonant's place of articulation: In case of bilabial stops, they were perceived as alveolar stops with while in cases of alveolar and velar stops, there were changes in phonation types without any change in the place of articulation.

본 논문에서는 임펄스 방사를 위한 UWB 안테나를 펄스 충실도 및 왜곡율 수식을 유도하고 적용하여 펄스 충실도가 개선된 안테나를 설계하는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. UWB 대역에서 지향성 특성을 갖는 안테나는 낮은 방사손실과, 임펄스 방사왜곡이 최소이어야 한다. 이를 위하여 광대역 임피던스 변환기와 마이크로스트립 슬롯라인 천이부 구조를 갖는 안테나 급전부를 설계하였다. 설계 및 제작된 UWB 안테나는 전파 무반사실에서 방사패턴을 측정하였다. 제작된 UWB 안테나의 임펄스 방사에 의한 펄스충실도는 ${\pm}30^{\circ}$ 빔폭내에서 93%이상의 개선된 결과를 얻었다.

본 논문에서는 광대역 특성을 갖는 이동통신 RF 모듈의 수동혼변조왜곡신호를 측정할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 광대역 특성을 나타내기 위하여 RF 수신단에서 저 잡음 특성과 광대역 특성을 만족하는 수신기를 설계하였으며 RF 수신 단에서 넓은 동적영역(high dynamic range)을 나타내도록 하였다. 설계된 수동혼변조왜곡 측정시스템에서 FPGA/DSP를 적용하여 측정된 PIMD신호를 PC에 기록하도록 프로그램 하였다. 650MHz-2700MHz 까지 가변하여 PIMD3를 측정하여 최고 -138dBc를 나타내었다.

There has been a great interest in printing technology as a low cost and mass production method for the application of printed electronics such as printed TFT, solar cell, RFID Tag, printed battery, and so on. In this study, apparatuses of gravure-offset printing are developed for fine line-width/gap printing and examining pattern distortion occurred in gravure-offset printing process. The fine line-width/gap pattern shows that it is possible to make around 20 micro-meter line-width/gap printing patterns. Pattern distortion is modeled, and the amount and shape of the distortion are calculated by using commercial FEM code. The roll-to-roll printing system under development consists of unwinder/rewinder, two printing units, one coating unit, drying units, guiding unit, vision system, and other auxiliary devices. For multi-layer printing, the system is designed to be capable of printing two different materials.

In this paper, we propose a (2,2)-reversible secret image sharing scheme using histogram shifting and difference expansion. Two techniques are widely used in information hiding. Advantages of them are the low distortion between cover and stego images, and high embedding capacity. In secret image sharing procedure, unlike Shamir's secret sharing, a histogram generate that the difference value between the original image and copy image is computed by difference expansion. And then, the secret image is embedded into original and copy images by using histogram shifting. Lastly, two generated shadow images are distributed to each participant by the dealer. In the experimental results, we measure a capacity of a secret image and a distortion ratio between original image and shadow image. The results show that the embedding capacity and image distortion ratio of the proposed scheme are superior to the previous schemes.

비디오를 다양한 단말과 이종의 망에 효과적으로 제공하기 위한 방법 중에, FD(Frame Dropping)-CD(Coefficient Dropping) 트랜스코딩 기법은 계산량을 줄이고, 손쉽게 구현할 수 있다는 측면에서 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나, FD-CD트랜스코딩 기법은 CD에 의한 왜곡이 GOP내의 부호화 의존성을 갖는 프레임의 복호화 영상 품질에 많은 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는, CD로 인하여 각 프레임별로 전파되는 왜곡의 크기를 적응적으로 예측하는 모델링 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 각 프레임별로 부호화된 매크로블록의 부호화 모드 비율에 대해 적응적으로 구해진다. 모의실험을 통하여, 제안된 모델은 CD로 인해 초래되는 전체 왜곡크기를 잘 예측할 수 있음을 보이고, 또한, 부호화된 비트스트림에서 CD에 의해 초래되는 프레임 단위로 일정한 전체 왜곡을 삽입하는데 효과적임을 보인다.

There exists a transform trellis code that is optimal for stationary Gaussian sources and the squared-error distortion measure at all rates. In this paper, we train an asymptotically optimal version of such a code to obtain one which is matched better to the statistics of real world data. The training algorithm uses the M-algorithm to search the trellis codebook and the LBG-algorithm to update the trellis codebook. To adapt the codebook for the varying input data. we use two gain-adaptive methods. The gain-adaptive scheme 1, which normalizes input block data by its gain factor, is applied to images at rate 0.5 bits/pixel. When each block is encoded at the same rate, the nonstationarity among the block variances leads to a variation in the resulting distortion from one block to another. To alleviate the non-uniformity among the encoded image, we design four clusters from the block power, in which each cluster has its own trellis codebook and different rates. The rate of each cluster is assigned through requiring a constant distortion per-letter. This gain-adaptive scheme 2 produces good visual and measurable quality at low rates.

본 논문에서는 먼저 Sensitivity가 가장 낮은 LC Ladder 필터로 부터 FDNR frequency dependent negative resists.) 방식을 이용하여 5차 Butterworth 저역 통과 능동 RC필터를 설계하였으며 능동 RC 필터를 SCF(switched capacito, filter)로 변조하는 과정에서 Bilinear Z변환을 이용하였다. Bilinear Z 변환으로 설계된 SCF에서 aliasing 현상은 피할수 있으나 주파수 대곡이 발생한다. 아나로그 필터를 디지틀 릴터로 변환하면 이러한 영향으로 속단 주파수 영역이 일치하지 않으므로 이것을 적게 하기 위하여 Prewarping을 해준다. 그 결과 Prewarping된 SCF는 Bilinear Z 변환된 SCF보다 각파수 이유이 현저하게 개선됨을 확인하였다.
