Cu-Ti thin films were fabricated using a combinatorial sputtering system to realize highly sensitive surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. The Cu-Ti sample library was grown with various chemical compositions and electrical resistivity, providing important information for selecting the most suitable materials for SAW devices. Considering that acoustic waves generated from piezoelectric materials are significantly affected by the resistivity and density of interdigital transducer (IDT) electrodes, three types of Cu-Ti thin films with different Cu contents were fabricated. The thickness of the Cu-Ti thin films used in the SAW-IDT electrode was fixed at 150 nm. As the Cu content of the Cu-Ti films was increased from 31.2 to 71.3 at%, the resistivity decreased from 10.5 to 5.8 × 10-5 ohm-cm, and the density increased from 5.5 to 7.3 g/cm3, respectively. A SAW device composed of Cu-Ti IDT electrodes resonated at exactly 143 MHz without frequency shifts, but the full width at half maximum (FWHM) values of the resonant frequency gradually increased as the Cu content increased. This means that although the increase in Cu content in the Cu-Ti thin film helps to improve the electrical properties of the IDT electrode, the increased density of the IDT electrode deteriorates the acoustic performance of SAW devices.

During the initial construction of Won buddhism, the sound absorbing material and diffusion material were used in the interior of the Won buddhism, so the sound performance at each buddhism could not be secured above a certain level, and even in the case of the Won buddhism Bukil dharma hall, the reverberation and volume of the sound generated inside the sanctum was too loud, and since the establishment of the buddhism continued to be dissatisfied, the improvement of the acoustic performance was very urgent. From this perspective, this study measured acoustic performance of the Bukil dharma hall before remodeling, determined the acoustic defects and status, and used acoustic simulation to present three plans for improving acoustic performance. Taking economic feasibility, construction, and construction duration into account, remodeling was performed on the basis of Plan 1 and post-remodeling acoustic performance was measured for comparative analysis of acoustic performance between before and after the improvement. The results of study, before and after sound performance improvement sound pressure level (SPL500Hz) was 71.9dB at 79.4dB , the weighted sound level (SPLdB(A)) was 79.7dB(A) at 89.4dB(A), reverberation time (RT500Hz) was 1.12sec at 1.49sec, early decay time (EDT500Hz) was 1.39sec at 1.63sec, definition (D50,500Hz) was 34.9% at 32.3%, clarity (C80.500Hz) was 1.0dB at –0.4dB, and RASTI was 60.0%(“Good”) at 51.3%(“Fair”) was evaluated. Therefore, the Bukil dharma hall was after remodeling, neither definition(D50) improved notably but excessive volume and reverberation and sound mixing almost disappeared and acoustic performance improved so much that many different events and services could be held.

A Catholic school is a school that spreads religious ideology to students by combining religious education with regular school curriculum. But, most Catholic schools do not have a separate liturgical space, mass is performed in multipurpose spaces such as auditoriums, and are exposed to severe acoustic defects due to the very aging facilities and lack of sound performance suitable for the liturgical space. So, in this study, an improvement plan was proposed using sound simulation after identifying acoustic defects through field measurements in the liturgical space of Haeseong High School in Jeonju. Also, hearing experiment using Acoustic Psychological Analysis was conducted to identify changes in subjective responses felt by students as they improved their acoustic performance. The results of study, before and after sound performance improvement sound pressure level(SPL500Hz) was 64.8dB at 66.7dB, the weighted sound level(SPLdB(A)) was 67.9dB(A) at 75.8dB(A), reverberation time(RT500Hz) was 2.04sec at 2.52sec, definition(D50,500Hz) was 40.2% at 33.5%, clarity(C80.500Hz) was –0.8dB at –1.18dB, and RASTI was 57.7% at 49.2% was evaluated. In addition, the amount of improvement in subjective responses before and after sound performance through psycho-acoustic experiment decreased by “Reverberation” -17.0%, “Loudness” -11.3% and increased by “Clear” 21.3%, “Vivid” 21.3%, “Intimacy” 12.4%, “Warmth” 14.3%, “Stability” 19.3%, “Godliness” 18.8%. Therefore, after improving sound performance, Haesung High School's liturgical space improved satisfaction with subjective sound performance felt by students and teachers to ensure sound performance suitable for the liturgical space.

Glass wool is widely used as a typical soundproofing material because it has superior characteristics as a soundproofing material as well as excellent marketability. However, moisture penetration through condensation and cleaning up causes deterioration of insulation and soundproofing performance. In this study, we evaluate the wettability and sound absorption performance when the metal is deposited on the surface of glass wool. The performance is examined based on parameters such as the angle test, drying speed, the absorbency, the moisture content, the wettability. The wettability data shows that Cu coated glass wool is the best performance compaed to Ti coated one. The sound insulation characteristics are also compared by using the impedance tube. At the low frequency range, there is no difference among the test specimens, however, at the frequency above the 250 Hz range, Cu coating shows 10 % better in th sound asorption. Ti coating has almost same to the existing glasss wool performance. It turns out that metal coating on the glass wool seems to be very promising: the metal deposition reveals strong water repellency and sound absorption performance is equivalent to the existing glass wool.

It is considered that such study result could be utilized as the most useful material when construction the similar multipurpose hall equipped with the variable typed system, hereafter.

The class rooms for vocal music lessons at the college of music should be prepared with acoustic performance having similar quality to a real theater. However, most of domestic music colleges used too many sound absorbing materials, so that a sound is too dry and poor, which makes a singer to increase the sound level. Furthermore, because of this acoustic characteristics, at a theater a singer comes to hear a total different sound of his own song. For this, students and professors are in trouble during a lesson. At the study from this point of view, the finishing materials were changed to have the best sound condition by site measurement and acoustic simulation. It is assumed that the study result above will be used as an effective document to improve acoustic performance.

수중음향통신은 다중경로로 인한 신호간의 간섭으로 성능이 열악하므로 채널 부호화의 적용은 필수적이다. 수중 통신에서 데이터 를 전송하기 위한 패킷의 구조는 동기 획득을 위해 데이터 전송 전에 PN 시퀀스를 데이터의 헤드 부분에 첨가하여 전송한다. PN 시퀀스는 송·수신 간에 서로 알고 있는 데이터를 이용하여 동기를 획득하는 기능을 하고 있으므로 PN 시퀀스는 채널 부호화를 하지 않고 전송된다. 이 러한 비부호화 된 PN 시퀀스는 대부분의 연구에서는 동기 획득을 위해 활용되지만 본 논문에서는 동기 획득 뿐 아니라 PN 시퀀스의 성능을 이용하여 데이터 필드의 성능 또한 예측할 수 있어 데이터 필드의 복호부에 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중 경로 전달 환경인 수중음향통신에서 원활한 통신과 함께 수신 신호의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 낮은 SNR에서도 우수한 성능을 보이는 컨볼루션 부호화 기법 과 BCJR 복호 방식을 이용하여 다양한 부호화 율에서 비 부호화 된 PN 시퀀스의 오류율과 부호화 된 데이터 필드의 오류율의 상관관계를 시뮬레이션 및 실제 수중 실험을 통해 분석하여 효율적인 수신 구조를 제시하였다.

수중 음향 통신은 과거 군사적 목적을 위해 제한적으로 사용되어졌으나, 수중 탐지, 운동체 추적, 잠수함, 부이를 이용한 해양의 날씨 변화 등 해양에서의 통신에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지며 활용 분야가 확대되고 있는 추세이다. 수중음향통신은 다중경로로 인한 신 호간의 간섭으로 성능 및 전송율이 열약한 실정이다. 따라서 다중 경로 전달 환경인 수중음향통신에서 원활한 통신과 함께 수신 신호의 성능 을 향상시키기 위하여 낮은 SNR에서도 우수한 성능을 보이는 채널 부호화 기법에 대해 연구하였다. 본 논문에서는 데이터 길이의 가변성이 좋은 BCJR기반 (2,1,7) 컨볼루션 부호를 적용하였으며, 다중 경로 전달로 인해 왜곡된 데이터를 보상하기 위해 결정 궤환 등화기가 결합된 터 보 등화기 구조를 적용하였다. 문경시 경천호에서의 실제 수중 실험을 통하여 BCJR 기반의 터보 등화 구조가 다른 비터비 복호방식의 경판 정, 연판정 기법에 비해 성능이 우수함을 검증하였다. 이러한 BCJR 복호의 성능은 반복횟수는 평균 1회에서 3회 정도에 오류가 정정되고, 복 호기 입력단의 오류율이  이하이면 모두 복호가 가능함을 볼 수 있으며, 16번의 수중통신 실험은 약 83%의 성공률을 획득하였다.

수중음향 채널은 일반적으로 다중경로 전달과 분산 등으로 인해 통신하기에 어려운 매질 가운데 하나로 인식된다. MIMO (Multiple-input multiple-output) 기술은 대역이 제한된 수중음향 채널에서 데이터 전송율을 증가시키기 위해 최근 활발히 연구되고 있다. 이 경우 전송 다이버시티 기술을 적용할 수 있는데 대표적인 것이 Alamouti 구조이다. 이 논문에서는 실험을 통하여 전송 다이버시티 기술의 성능을 고찰하였다. 실험에는 2개의 송신기와 2개의 수신기가 사용되었으며, 실내의 음향수조에서 수행되었다. 실험 결과 5~8%의 오차율을 확인하였는데 이는 같은 전송율을 기준으로 SISO(Single-input single-output) 채널에서의 오차율 14.8% 보다 향상된 결과를 나타내었다.

The acoustic emission technique (AE) was implemented to assess long-term performance of concrete beams (reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) and steel bars) exposed to an aggressive combination of high temperature and humidity.

이 논문에서는 저전력 통신 기법 가운데 하나인 PSPM(Phase Shift Pulse position Modulation) 전송 기법이 근거리 수중음향 채널에서 어떠한 성능을 나타낼지 고찰하기 위해 해상실험을 통해 분석하였다. PSPM은 QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying)와 PPM(Pulse Position Modulation) 기법을 서로 혼합한 형태로 WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network) 시스템에서 저전력 통신을 위해 제안된 기법이다. 이는 기존의 일반적인 전송 방식에 비해 대역효율은 떨어지지만 전력효율은 증가하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 논문에서는 실해역에서 취득한 PSPM 데이터를 통해 BER 성능을 분석한다. 실험 결과 QPSK의 경우 총 56,000개의 전송 데이터 비트 중 오차 비트 수가 3,384개로 BER이 약 6.04×10-2이고, PSPM의 경우는 19,652개로 BER이 약 3.5×10-1를 얻었다. 또한 영상 데이터 전송에 따른 PSNR(Peak signal-to-noise ratio)을 비교한 결과 QPSK의 경우 9.37 dB 였으며, PSPM의 경우 9.11 dB 였다.

수중 통신 시스템의 성능은 수중채널의 특성에 영향을 받으며, 잔향 및 다중경로(Multi-path)로 인한 지연확산은 데이터 전송 시인접 심벌간의 간섭(Inter Symbol Interference : ISI)의 원인이 되며, 이는 통신 성능 저하의 주 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 잔향 및 다중경로로 인한 인접 심벌간의 간섭을 극복하기위해 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 변조기법을 이용한 수중에서의 음향통신 실험을 통해 그 성능을 분석하였다. 그 결과 전송속도가 2 kbps인 경우 BER(Bit Error Rate)이 1.22×10-1이였으며, 전송속도가 4 kbps인 경우 BER은 2.47×10-2이었다.
