In recent wireless communications, direct conversion transceiver or If sampling SDR-based receivers have being designed as an alternative to conventional transceiver topologies. In direct conversion receiver a.chitectu.e, the 1.equency/phase offset between the RF input signal and the local oscillator signal is a major impairment factor even though the conventional AFC/APC compensates the service deterioration due to the offset. To rover the limited tracking range of the conventional method and effectively aid compensation scheme in terms of I/Q channel imbalances, the frequency/phase offset compensation in RF-front end signal stage is proposed in this paper. In RF-front end, the varying phase offset besides the fixed large frequency/phase offset are corrected by using early-late phase compensator. A more simple frequency and phase tacking function in digital signal processing stage of direct conversion receiver is effectively available by an ingenious frequency/phase offset tracking method in RF front-end stage.

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar(InSAR) is a rapidly evolving technique. Spectacular results obtained in various fields such as the monitoring of earthquakes, volcanoes, land subsidence and glacier dynamics, as well as in the construction of Digital Elevation Models(DEMs) of the Earth's surface and the classification of different land types have demonstrated its strength. As InSAR is a remote sensing technique, it has various sources of errors due to the satellite positions and attitude, atmosphere, and others. Therefore, it is important to validate its accuracy, especially for the DEM derived from Satellite SAR images. In this study, Real Time Kinematic(RTK) GPS and Kinematic GPS positioning were chosen as tools for the validation of InSAR derived DEM. The results showed that Kinematic GPS positioning had greater coverage of test area in terms of the number of measurements than RTK GPS. But tracking the satellites near and/or under trees md transmitting data between reference and rover receivers are still pending tasks in GPS techniques.

National Geographic Information Institute provides VRS service using permanent GPS networks. VRS-RTK(Virtual Reference System-Real Time Kinematic)GPS surveying which enable to accomplish the real time-based GPS surveying has been increasingly popular. However the positioning accuracy tends to deteriorate as the distance between the rover and base station increases in the VRS-RTK GPS surveying. To analysis this problem in this study, the accuracy of VRS-RTK data was analyzed with 2 different test sites of Geoje city, Gyeongnam province within and without the permanent GPS networks in order to accomplish the cadastral supplementary control surveying. As a result of surveying accuracy analysis at two test sites, positioning errors were ${\pm}0.03m$(RMSE) in both sites. The result was that within the tolerance specified in cadastral surveying law, and indicated the possibility of VRS-RTK GPS surveying in cadastral surveying.

The conventional single-reference station positioning is affected by systematic errors such as ionospheric and tropospheric delay, so that the rover must be located within 10 km from the reference station in order to acquire centimeter-level accuracy. The medium-range real-time kinematic has been proven feasible and can be used for high precision applications. However, the longer of the baseline, the more of the time for resolving the integral ambiguity is required. This is due to the fact that systematic errors can not be eliminated effectively by double-differencing. Recently, network approaches have been proposed to overcome the limitation of the single-reference station positioning. The real-time systematic error modeling can be achieved with the use of GPS network. For expanding the effective range and decreasing the density of the reference stations, Land Survey Bureau, Ministry of the Interior in Taiwan set up a national GPS network. In order to obtain the high precision positioning and provide the multi-goals services, a GPS network including 66 stations already been constructed in Taiwan. The users can download the corrections from the data center via the wireless internet and obtain the centimeter-level accuracy positioning. The service is very useful for surveyors and the high precision coordinates can be obtained real time.

GPS RTK surveying has an issue that the positioning error increases as the base line distance between the reference station and rover station increases. However, nowadays, an accuracy assessment that can handle such issue is surely required because of the modernization of GLONASS, Galileo project, and other improvements of satellite receiving conditions. Therefore, in this research, we compared and analyzed data sets collected with the CORS network, placed at NGII and NDGPS, using Internet RTK surveying in different satellite receiving conditions. As a result, there was a negative effect on the positioning accuracy as the base line distance increases. Furthermore, we could collect quantitative data of the accuracy of RTK surveying. When national-wide GNSS system is fully established, this result will contribute the growth of various GNSS industries including survey industries and land survey industries.

행성 및 타이탄과 같은 태양계 내의 면천체(extended source)를 관측하기 위해서는 공간분해능이 높은 대형망원경과 파장분해능이 높은 분광기가 필요하다. 특히 분광 관측 자료를 이용하면 행성 및 타이탄의 대기 구성 성분 및 그 성분비, 온도 분포, 구름과 연무 등의 수직 구조 등을 알 수 있다. 최근 연구에서는 구름, 연무, 비 등의 생성 과정에 불포화/초과포화 상태의 메탄, 에탄, 에틸렌 등이 관여하는 것이 새롭게 알려져 보다 활발한 후속 연구가 필요하다. 현재 개발 중인 IGRINS는 적외선 영역의 H band($1.49{\sim}1.8{\mu}m$)와 K band($1.96{\sim}2.46{\mu}m$)를 동시에 관측할 수 있고, McDonald 2.7m 망원경에 부착할 때 R~40,000의 높은 분해능을 가지는 장비로서 태양계 천체를 관측하는 데에 매우 적합하다. 따라서 향후 IGRINS가 본격적으로 가동될 때 얻을 수 있는 자료에 대한 사전 연구가 필요하며, 이는 대형 망원경 및 고분산 분광기를 이용한 관측, 자료 처리 및 분석 등의 경험에 기반을 두어 진행되어야 한다. 이에 NIFS/Gemini에 의해 관측된 타이탄 분광 자료와 TEXES/IRTF에 의해 획득된 목성극지방의 분광 자료를 분석하는 사전 연구를 진행하고 있다. 목성에 대해서는, 극지방에서 관측되는 hotspot, warm, normal 지역의 근적외선 영역 분광선 분석을 통해 기존에 결정되어 있지 않은 극지방 성층권의 고도에 따른 온도분포를 알아본다. 타이탄에 대해서는, 근적외선 영역의 메탄흡수밴드에서 관측된 주연증광(Limb brightening) 현상을 복사전달모델로 구현함으로써 어떤 기작이 이 현상에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는지에 대해 알아본다. 이런 태양계 천체 자료에 대한 연구는 향후 mission 및 rover 작업을 수행함에 있어 기본적인 정보로서 활용될 수 있다.

In this paper, a channel combiner is designed to combine two adjacent digital TV channels without interference to transmit these channels with one broadband antenna. A constant impedance type combiner, consisting of two identical bandpass filters and two identical 3 dB power combiners, is chosen as a channel combiner. The bandpass filter used in the channel combiner also suppresses out-of-band signal caused by digital transmitter's non-linearity. H-plane type bandpass filters and branch-line fewer combiners are adopted in the design. The simulated results of the designed bandpass filter and power combiner show excellent agreement with the theoretical results. Finally, a channel combiner is designed by combining filters with rover combiners and the characteristics are simulated. It is shown that the designed channel combiner shows excellent performance.

As of July 1999, i,185 lomocotives(excluding metropolitan area electric locomotives) are in Korean National Railroad(KNR). With this limited number of resources assigning locomotives to each trains of timetable is very important in the entire railway management point of view because schedule can be regarded as goods in transportation industry. On a simple rail network, it is rather easier to assign proper locomotives to trains with the experience of operating experts and get optimal assignment solution. However, as the network is getting bigger and complicated, the number of trains and corresponding locomotives will be dramatically increased to rover all the demands required to service all of the trains in timetable. There will be also numerous operational constraints to be considered. Assigning proper locomotives to trains and building optimal cyclic rotations of locomotive routings will result in increasing efficiency of schedule and giving a guarantee of more profit. The purpose of this study is two fold: (1) we consider a planning-level locomotive scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the wasting cost under various practical constraints and (2) development of implementation prototype program of its assigning result. Not like other countries, i.e. Canada, Sweden, Korean railroad operates on n daily schedule basis. The objective is to find optimal assignment of locomotives of different types to each trains, which minimize the wasting cost. This problem is defined on a planning stage and therefore, does not consider operational constraints such as maintenance and emergency cases. Due to the large scale of the problem size and complexity, we approach with heuristic methods and column generation to find optimal solution. The locomotive scheduling prototype consists of several modules including database, optimization engine and diagram generator. The optimization engine solves MIP model and provides an optimal locomotive schedule using specified optimization algorithms. A cyclic locomotive route diagram can be generated using this optimal schedule through the diagram generator.
