  • Publication number: 20180120472
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for localizing an underwater anomalous body, which detect, in real time, any one disturbed signal among a disturbed electric field, a disturbed magnetic field, and a disturbed gravity field by means of a detection line installed in the water when an anomalous body such as a submarine passes through the water, calculates a correlation coefficient between the disturbed signal detected in real time and a template in which disturbed signals for each position are calculated and stored in advance, finds a correlation coefficient having highest similarity, and determines a position of the anomalous body from the template.

  • Patent number: 9715029
    Abstract: An electric field sensor for underwater, including a sensing unit that senses a change in an electric field and transfers a sensing signal of the electric field to a signal line, a waterproof sealing unit that keeps a signal transferring portion of the sensing unit in a waterproof state, and a water-passing protection unit that shields and protects an exposed portion of the sensing unit. The sensing unit includes a nonconductive hollow pipe connected to the signal line, a sheet of carbon fiber that is wound around the outer surface of the hollow pipe and that senses an electric field, and a terminal ring that is electrically conductively installed at an end portion of the sheet of carbon fiber to provide a connection portion of the signal line and that is watertightly sealed by the waterproof sealing unit.

  • Patent number: 8547092
    Abstract: A “proton precession magnetometer sensor capable of all-direction measurement” according to the present invention, in which frequency of current induced in a coil by flowing and then breaking current in the coil is measured to calculate strength of an external magnetic field, is characterized in that the coil is a toroid coil. Alternatively, the coil may be achieved by two solenoid coils connected perpendicularly, or N solenoid coils connected in the form of a polygon, where N is an integer of 3 or more. The proton precession magnetometer sensor is capable of measuring the external magnetic field in all directions since there is no dead band, and is convenient since there is no need of adjusting the sensor to a certain direction when measuring magnetic force. Further, the present invention will bring accumulation of key original technology applicable to various cases in practice through development of improved impedance matching and power consumption optimization in future practice.
