We proposed a new sensitivity verification method for the UHF partial discharge(PD) detection system. Initially, we measure the UHF power induced by 5 pC PD which takes place near UHF sensor. Subsequently, we inject the swept UHF signal from a network analyzer into the GIS and measure the attenuation of the signal along the 71S Both the UHF power by 5 pC PD and the attenuation make it possible to verify the sensitivity and spatial coverage of the PD detection system. This method doesn\`t require the calibration of injected pulse type UHF signal into the GIS and makes us precisely measure the attenuation in frequency domain.

In this paper, we present an ultrasonic velocity and attenuation measurement system. There are many ultrasonic measurement methods that are used in nondestructive testing applications. They include material property determination, microstructural characterization, and flaw detection. Ultrasonic parameters such as velocity and attenuation are most commonly used in them. Advanced signal analysis which is called "ime-frequency analysis"has been used widely in nondestructive evaluation applications. Wavelet transform is the most advanced technique for processing signals with time-varying spectra. Using the echo waveform gathered by the designed hardware system, we performed simulation of the signal processing algorithms. Then the algorithm is implemented on the system.

This paper evaluates the influence of rainfall on propagated signal at different time exceedance percentages of an average year, over the climate zones of the country. Specifically, it demonstrates critical and non critical signal fade or signal outage time exceedance (0.001% to 1%) for Ku, K, and Ka-band systems in an average year. The study was carried out using meteorological data made available by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) over a period of 10 years (2009-2018). The four climate zones in the country were represented by five (5) locations; Maidugiri (warm desert climate), Sokoto (tropical dry climate), Port Harcourt (tropical monsoon climate), Abuja and Enugu (tropical savanna climate). The parameters were simulated into the International Telecommunications Union Recommended (ITU-R) models for rain attenuation over the tropics and results presented using MatLab and Origin Lab. Results of Ku band propagations showed that only locations in the tropical savanna and tropical monsoon climates experienced total signal outage for time percentage exceedance equal to or below 0.01% for both horizontal and vertical polarizations. At K band propagations, the five locations showed to have experienced signal outage at time exceedance equal to and below 0.01%, almost same was recorded for the Ka-band propagation. It was also observed that horizontal and vertical polarization of signal had slightly different rain attenuation values for the studied bands at the five locations, with horizontal polarization having higher values than vertical polarization.

본 논문에서는 50MHz에서 2.15GHz 대역의 RF(Radio Frequency) 신호를 최대 -110 dBm 까지 신호 레벨을 감쇄시키는 능동형 감쇄기의 구현 기술을 제안한다. 구현되는 능동형 감쇄기는 USB(Universal Serial Bus) 인터페이스를 통해 PC와 연결되어 PC상의 GUI(Graphic User Interface) 화면을 통해 신호의 주파수 및 최소 1 dB의 감쇄 스텝이 설정된다. 감쇄기는 입력신호를 최대 -110 dBm 수준까지 감쇄시켜 출력하므로 외부잡음의 유입과 내부 블록간의 잡음 방사를 제어시키는 회로 기술과 기구 설계 기술을 적용한다. 감쇄기의 성능 시험을 통해 -10 ~ -30 dBm 수준의 입력신호에 대하여 목표성능인 -110 dBm 수준까지 신호 감쇄가 이루어짐을 확인한다.

The RF integrated noise filters are fabricated by photolithography. The stack for the electromagnetic noise filters consists of the nano-granular ($Co_{41}Fe_{38}AI_{13}O_8$) soft magnetic film / $SiO_2$ / Cu transmission line / seed layer (Cu/Ti) / $SiO_2$-substrate. A good signal-attenuation feature along with a low signal-reflection feature is observed in the present filters. Especially in the noise filter incorporated with a $Co_{41}Fe_{38}AI_{13}O_8$ magnetic film with lateral dimensions of $2000{\mu}m$ wide, 15 mm long and $1{\mu}m$ thick, the maximum magnitude of signal attenuation reaches -55 dB, and the magnitude of signal reflection is below -10 dB in the overall frequency range. And this level of signal attenuation is much larger than that of a noise filter incorporated with a Fe magnetic film.

본 논문에서는 위성과 모바일기기 간의 전파수신감도를 활용한 최적경로탐색 알고리즘을 제안한다. 일반적인 경로탐색은 최단경로를 기반으로 하기 때문에 위성을 이용하는 모바일기기의 안정적인 멀티미디어 서비스 제공이 어렵다. 제안된 알고리즘은 전파수신감도를 기반으로 하는 경로탐색을 통해 안정적인 통신환경의 제공을 목적으로 한다. 위성통신에서 수신환경에 따라 전파수신감도 변화가 심하기 때문에 수신환경의 특성을 정확하게 분석하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 전파감쇠 요인으로 대기감쇠, 수풀감쇠, 건물에 의한 감쇠 등을 적용하여 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석하고 전파수신감도로 활용한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 도심지에서 위성을 활용한 안정적인 멀티미디어 서비스 제공을 위한 최적경로를 찾을 수 있다.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the head and tibial acceleration signal magnitudes, and their powers and shock attenuations between flat-footed and normal-footed running. Methods : Ten flat-footed and ten normal-footed subjects ran barefoot on a treadmill with a force plate at 3.22m/s averaged from their preferred running speed using heel-toe running pattern while the head and tibial acceleration in the vertical axis data was collected. The accelerometers were sampled at 2000 Hz and voltage was set at 100 mv, respectively. The peak magnitudes of the head and tibial acceleration signals in time domain were calculated. The power spectral density(PSD) of each signal in the frequency domain was also calculated. In addition to that, shock attenuation was calculated by a transfer function of the head PSD relative to the tibia PSD. A one-way analysis of variance was used to determine the difference in time and frequency domain acceleration variables between the flat-footed and normal-footed groups running. Results : Peaks of the head and tibial acceleration signals were significantly greater during flat-footed group running than normal-footed group running(p<.05). PSDs of the tibial acceleration signal in the lower and higher frequency range were significantly greater during flat-footed running(p<.05), but PSDs of the head acceleration signal were not statistically different between the two groups. Flat-footed group running resulted in significantly greater shock attenuation for the higher frequency ranges compared with normal-footed group running(p<.05). Conclusion : The difference in impact shock magnitude and frequency content between flat-footed and normal-footed group during running suggested that the body had different ability to control impact shock from acceleration. It might be conjectured that flat-footed running was more vulnerable to potential injury than normal-footed running from an impact shock point of view.

To quantify the LII signals from soot particle of flames in diesel engine cylinder, a new method has been proposed for correcting LII signal attenuated by soot particles between the measuring point and the detector. It has been verified by an experiment on a laminar jet ethylene-air diffusion flame. Being proportional to the attenuation, the ratio of LII signal at two different detection wavelengths can be used to correct the measured LIIsignal and obtain the unattenuated LII signal, from which the soot volume fraction in the flame can be estimated. Both the 1064-nm and frequency-doubled 532-nm beams from the Nd : YAG laser are used. Single-shot, one-dimensional(1-D) line images are recorded on the intensified CCD camera, with the rectangular-profile laser beam using 1-mm-diameter pinhole. Two broadband optical interference filters having the center wavelengths of 647 nm and 400 nm respectively and a bandwidth of 10 nm are used. This two-wavelength correction has been applied to the ethylene-air coannular laminar diffusion flame, previously studied on soot formation by the laser extinction method in this laboratory. The results by the LII measurement technique and the conventional laser extinction method at the height of 40 nm above the jet exit agreed well with each other except around outside of the peaks of soot concentration, where the soot concentration was relatively high and resulting attenuation of the LII signal was large. The radial profile shape of soot concentration was not changed a lot, but the absolute value of the soot volume fraction around outside edge changed from 4ppm to 6.5 ppm at r=2.8mm after correction. This means that the attenuation of LII signal was approximately 40% at this point, which is higher than the average attenuation rate of this flame, 10~15%.

일반적인 산업현장에서 내부결함 평가를 위해 사용되어온 유도초음파기법은 비결함 지역에서는 에너지 감쇠를 고려하지 않고 적용되어 왔다. 결함 지역에서의 신호는 산란과 반사에 의해서 분명한 감쇠가 발생하지만 비결함 지역에서도 작은 감쇠가 발생한다. 또한 분산선도에서 판파(Lamb wave)는 각 두께, 주파수에 의해 분산성이 달라지기에 각 모드에 적합한 감쇠계수를 찾는 것은 중요하다. 이를 위해 접촉식 PZT(piezoelectric)센서를 이용한 pitch-catch 방식으로 거리에 따른 각 모드의 감쇠계수를 구하였다. 본 연구에서는 흔히 쓰이는 알루미늄과 구리판으로, 두께 차이, 모드 차이, 재질 차이에 의한 실험적인 감쇠율을 구하는데 중점을 두었다. 그 결과 각 변수에 따라 감쇠계수는 달라지며, 정량화가 필요하다는 것을 확인하였다.
