본 논문에서는 전력증폭기 선형화를 위한 Cartesian feedback 방식의 궤환 경로에서 발생하는 DC offset과 이득 및 위상 불일치를 자동적으로 보상하는 개선된 방식을 제안한다. Cartesian feedback에 의한 비선형 전력증폭기 왜곡성분의 감쇠 정도는 시스템 루프의 이득, 대역폭, 시간지연에 의해 결정된다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 궤환 경로 각 소자에서 발생하는 DC offset과 이득 및 위상의 불일치로 인하여 송신기의 출력신호에 원하지 않는 반송파 성분과 이미지 신호가 발생하여 궤환보상의 효과가 반감되는 결과를 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 디지털 신호처리 시스템 구조에서 이진 검색 (binary search) 알고리즘을 이용하여 궤환 경로에서 발생하는 DC offset과 이득 및 위상 불일치를 자동적으로 보상하는 방식을 제안하고 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 방식의 성능을 분석한다. 모의실험에서 고려된 방식에 비하여 동일한 정도의 DC offset과 이득 및 위상 불일치의 보상에 걸리는 시간을 평균적으로 40% 단축할 수 있었다.

In general, the earlier linear-phase MAXFLAT(maximally flat) lowpass FIR filters have the main disadvantage of a gain response in the half frequency band $(0{\leq}w{\leq}{\pi}/2)$ by the closed form transfer functions used in design techniques for realizing them. Moreover, most of them has existent problems as follows : ripple error in the stopband, gentle-cutoff attenuation, phase and group delay and inexact cutoff frequency response. It is due to the approximation algorithms such as Chebyshev norm and Remez exchange which are used to approach MAXFLAT and linear-phase characteristics in frequency domain. In this paper, a new mathematically closed-form transfer function is introduced for the design of MAXFLAT lowpass FIR filters which have the zero-phase and wideband-gain response. In addition, we verify that the closed-form transfer function is easily realized due to our generalized formulas derived newly by using MAXFLAT conditions including an arbitrary cutoff point. This method is, therefore, useful for "simple and quick designs". Conclusively, we propose a technique for the design of new zero-phase wideband MAXFLAT lowpass FIR filters which can achieve sharp-cutoff attenuation exceeding 250 dB almost everywhere.

The QoS guarantee for the forward link in satellite communication networks is very important because there are a variety of packets with multiplexing. Especially, the packets are processed depending on the available bandwidth in satellite network changing the wireless channel state in accordance with weather condition. The DVB-S2 increases the transmission efficiency by applying the adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) techniques as a countermeasure of rain attenuations. However, the channel estimation algorithm is required to support the ACM techniques that select the MODCOD values depending on the feedback data transmitted by RCSTs(Return Channel via Satellite Terminal) because satellite communication networks have a long propagation delay. In this paper, we proposed the channel estimation algorithm using rain attenuation values and reference data and the packet scheduling scheme to support the QoS and fairness. As a result of performance evaluation, we showed that proposed algorithm exactly predicts the channel conditions and supports bandwidth fairness to the individual RCST and guarantees QoS for user traffics.

Purpose: A study was conducted to ensure the structural safety of a raised girder bridge with improved cross-sectional efficiency compared to the conventional PSC girder. For this purpose, the cross-sectional specifications such as girder length, height, and width were determined, the arrangement of the tendons was designed, and the practical performance of the raised girder under static and dynamic loads was verified. Method: The static performance experiment examined the serviceability limit state by measuring behavioral responses such as deflection and cracking to primary and secondary static loads. In addition, the dynamic load loading experiment measured the acceleration and displacement behavior response over time to calculate the natural frequency and damping ratio to examine the usability limit state. Result: As a result of the static performance test, the deflection value based on the maximum applied load showed stable behavior, and the crack width measured at the maximum applied load level was very small, satisfying the serviceability limit state. In addition, a natural frequency exceeding the natural frequency calculated during the design of the dynamic loading experiment was found, and a damping ratio that satisfies the current regulations was found to be secured.

In general, due to the interactions among subsystems, it is difficult to design an decentralized controller for nonlinear interconnected systems. In this study, the model of nonlinear interconnected systems is studied via decentralized fuzzy control method with time delay and polytopic uncertainty. First, the nonlinear interconnected system is represented by an equivalent Takagi-Sugeno type fuzzy model. And the represented model can be rewritten as Parameterized Linear Matrix Inequalities(PLMIs), that is, LMIs whose coefficients are functions of a parameter confined to a compact set. We show that the resulting fuzzy controller guarantees the asymptotic stability and disturbance attenuation of the closed-loop system in spite of controller gain variations within a resulted polytopic region by example and simulations.

In order to effectively predict thermo-acoustic instability within real combustors of rocket engines and gas turbines, in the present study, the Helmholtz equation in conjunction with the time lag hypothesis is discretized by the finite element method on three-dimensional hybrid unstructured mesh. Numerical nonlinearity caused by the combustion response term is linearized by an iterative method, and the large-scale eigenvalue problem is solved by the Arnoldi method available in the ARPACK. As a consequence, the final solution of complex valued eigenfrequency and acoustic pressure field can be interpreted as resonant frequency, growth rate, and modal shape for acoustic modes of interest. The predictive capabilities of the present method have been validated against two academic problems with complex impedance boundary and premixed flame, as well as an ambient acoustic test for liquid rocket combustion chamber with/without baffle.

The definition of burning admittance and conventional n-$\tau$ stability rating technique are combined to investigate the high frequency combustion instabilities inside the cylindrical combustion chamber. Perturbed flow variables are written as the sum of fluctuating and time-averaged mean quantities on the assumption that the terms of the order higher than unity are sufficiently small, hence linearized governing equations could be formulated. Chamber admittances up and downstream of the flame front calculated with appropriate boundary conditions result in the burning admittance and corresponding n-$\tau$ neutral stability curve. Configurational and operational design factors are tested to detect the unstable wave-induced LOX-RP1 combustion instabilities. Operational design factors, e.g. pressure or O/F ratio, appear less influential to drive high frequency instability while the location of the flame front and configurational factors enhance or deteriorate the stabilities strongly. Conclusively, LOX-RP1 combustion inside the cylindrical combustion chamber is apt to be unstable against long residence time and shortened chamber length.

The type of ultrasound transducer used influences the quality of a reconstructed ultrasound image. This study analyzed the effect of transducer type on ultrasound computed tomography (UCT) image quality. The UCT was modeled in an ultrasound simulator by using a 5 cm anatomy model and a ring-shape 5 MHz 128 transducer array, which considered attenuation, refraction, and reflection. Speed-of-sound images were reconstructed by the Radon transform as the UCT image modality. Acoustic impedance images were also reconstructed by the delay-and-sum (DAS) method, which considered the speed of sound information. To determine the optimal combination of transducers in observation, point-source, flat, and focused transducers were tested in combination as trasmitters and receivers; UCT images were constructed from each combination. The combination of point-source/flat transducer as transmitting and receiving devices presented the best reconstructed image quality. In UCT implementation, the combination of a flat transducer for transmitting and a point transducer for receiving permitted acceptable image quality.

Dynamic response analysis is conducted for a floating bridge subjected to multiple support earthquake excitation. The floating bridge used in this study is supported by discrete floating pontoons and horizontal pretension cables supported at both ends of the bridge. The bridge is modeled with finite elements and the hydrodynamic added mass and added damping due to the surrounding fluid around pontoons are obtained using boundary elements. During the analysis the concept of retardation function is utilized to consider the frequency dependency of the hydrodynamic coefficients. Multiple support excitation is introduced at both ends of the bridge and the time history response is compared to that of a simultaneous excitation. The results show that the multiple support excitation yields larger values in some responses. for example in cable tensions. than the sumultaneous excitation.

This paper relates to the blind noise separation method of time-delayed convolutive mixed signals. Since the mixed model of acoustic signals in a closed space is multi-channel, a convolutive blind signal separation method is applied and time-delayed data samples of the two microphone input signals is used. For signal separation, the mixing coefficient is calculated using an inverse model rather than directly calculating the separation coefficient, and the coefficient update is performed by repeated calculations based on secondary statistical properties to estimate the speech signal. Many simulations were performed to verify the performance of the proposed blind signal separation. As a result of the simulation, noise separation using this method operates safely regardless of convolutive mixing, and PESQ is improved by 0.3 points compared to the general adaptive FIR filter structure.
