In ports of Korea, the marine traffic flow is congested due to a large number of vessels coming in and going out. In order to improve the safety and efficiency of these vesse's movement, South Korea is operating with a Vessel Traffic System, which is monitoring its flow 24-7. However despite these efforts of the VTS (Vessel Traffic System) officers, marine accidents are occurring continuously in their control area. VTS Officers are controlling subjectively based on their experience due to no VTS control guideline of dangerous situation among vessels. On this paper, we listened to Busan VHF channel for 3days and analyzed the message. With collision risk model, We analyzed a moment of risk which officers advise or recommend to vessel in encounter situation, VTSO's career, and day&night.

The free surface influenced the wake behind a circular cylinder and its effects were investigated experimentally in a circulating water channel with the variation of water depth. Instantaneous velocity fields were measured in this paper. The measured results has been compared with each other to investigate the flow characteristics of the circular cylinder's 2-dimensional section at $Re=1.0{\times}10^3$ using 2-frame grey level cross correlation PIV method. The flow around the circular cylinder with free surface affected the wake structure. Especially, in case of d=1.0D, the boundary layer was measured in the whole area. The separation point and boundary layer of the circular cylinder could be controlled by the water depth.

In this study, we have fabricated a gain flattened erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier. Gain flattening filters were realized by the strain-induced long period fiber gratings, which are made of periodically arrayed metal wires. Using the filter of $550{\mu}m$ period, spontaneous emission amplified at C-band wavelength by a 980nm pumping laser was flattened within 1dB of gain ripple. The performance of the simultaneous multi channel amplification was measured using a fabry-perot laser diode. Amplification ratio was above 20dB. This amplifier can be applied to the long distance transmission system based on a wavelength division multiplexing for boosting an attenuated signal.

This study aims to propose an assessment tool of port service quality (PSQ) in the context of container transport logistics (CTLs), by taking the perspectives from port users. The CTLs defined in this study are the relevant activities of serving the physical flows of a container box from a point of origin via a container port to a point of destination. To address the ports' role in collaboration between its channel members in CTLs, the PSQ measures for all port user groups (i.e. common PSQ measures) are selected based on the relevant CTLs activities involved by port, and its users within terminal/port area as well as throughout the CTLs chain. An importance-performance analysis (IPA) is applied as a diagnostic tool to analyse the status quo of Busan Port in CTLs contexts, by comparing the importance and performance (IP ) scores against each individual CTLs criterion. The findings from the IPA reveal that port managers and policy makers at the Busan Port should concentrate on six PSQ measures (i.e. SR1, SR4, ITS1, VAS1, VAS4, ICI3) to enhance PSQ in CTLs. However, four measures (i.e. ITS2, ITS3, ITS4, VAS2) are identified as a possible overkill, indicating an area of inefficiency where a remedial action of the cost-cutting decision is necessary. On the other hand, the Busan port shows an outstanding performance on four measures such as SR2, SR3, ICI1 and ICI2. The measures are not only important but also high performance. The study findings provide managerial guidance to port managers in Busan Port, in view of searching for managerial and operational strategies for sustainable port growth.

The keel attached on bottom of hull part prevents yacht from flowing sideway by sailing posture. So this study has compared with characteristics of resistance depending on the shape af the lower part of fin keel in the same surface af water submersion, we have attached three different types of models of lower part of fin keels to the model ships using circulating water channel and analyzed resistance characteristics per shape to arrive at the optimum shape of reduction of resistance.

For growing need for the multimedia application in the vehicles, the MOST protocol has been focused on. The MOST protocol supports three kinds of communication modes; short control message, asynchronous packets, and reserved synchronous stream data. Because of a variety of transportation, the MOST is suitable for various applications in vehicle environment. In this paper, we implemented embedded system which is MOST-enabled AMS platform and tested the network communication operation through the control port and the synchronous channel of the source port. We implemented the prototype platforms which communicate each other on the MOST's POF network. Moreover we implemented the DivX decoder attached AMS platform and verified the operation by transferring the video stream and the control messages through the MOST network.

This paper proposes a new predistortion linearizer to compensate for AM/AM and AM/PM in the nonlinear characteristics of amplifier. This consists of common-emitter amplifier and schottky diode that is connected between emitter and ground. When effective resistance of the schottky diode with bias condition varies, common-emitter amplifier with series feedback has a increase of amplitude and expansion of phase. This makes a amplifier nonlinear characteristics are to be improved. The proposed linearizer and amplifier has been manufactured and tested to operate in cellular base station frequency (869~894MHz). The test results show that third order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) cab be removed by more than 10.4dB in case of CW 2-tone signals ${\Delta}f$=1MHz, and the adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) also can be improved by more than 9.6dB for CDMA IS-95 1FA signals.

In this paper, the numerical methods of searching the optimal position of optical phase conjugator (OPC) and the optimal dispersion coefficients of fiber sections are proposed, which are able to effectively compensate overall channels in $8{\times}40$ Gbps WDM system with non zero - dispersion shifted fiber (NZ-DSF) as an optical fiber. And the compensation characteristics in the system with two induced optimal parameters are compared with those in the system with the currently used mid-span spectral inversion (MSSI) in order to verify the availability of the proposed methods. It is confirmed that the compensation extents of the distorted 8-channel signals are improved within 2 dB power penalty by applying the induced optimal parameters into WDM system. It is also confirmed that two optimal parameters less related with the searching procedure of these optimal values, only if these depend on each other.

In the next generation system, a study on realization of Multi-Core system is in progress for applying it in multi service network. Therefore some mobile systems are expected to be appeared. These systems can support WiBro, WCDMA, CDMA, etc with single terminal. These systems have to support various FA using broadband frequency and hand over to other service network. Especially, in the telecommunication system composed of cell, the transmit power can be interference at adjacent system, has effect on system channel capacity and cell size. In this paper, we improve the unstable transmit power caused by unsettled system operation, propose the RF(Radio Frequency) Calibration method which can use the transmit power stably even during hand over between heterogeneous networks causing unstable power change. Also we used proposed method and analysed used electricity of system during hand over between heterogeneous networks.

In this paper, we analysis to consider the performance of PSPM (Phase Shift Pulse-position Modulation), the one of the low power communication technique, in near-field underwater sound channel by sea trial. PSPM is a QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) modulation combined with PPM(Pulse Position Modulation) for low power communication in WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network). It is known that the bandwidth efficiency of PSPM is lower than conventional PSK but the power efficiency increases. In this paper, we will analyze the BER performance of PSPM using data acquired from the sea trials. The BER of QPSK was $6.04{\times}10^{-2}$, PSPM was $3.5{\times}10^{-1}$. Also, PSNR of QPSK was 9.37 dB and in case of PSPM was 9.11 dB.
