Detection and localization of a slow and quiet target in shallow water environments is a challenging problem for which it is well known that snapshot is deficient because of a fast and strong interferer. This paper presents waveguide interference filtering technique that mitigate strong interferer problems in adaptive matched field processing. MCM (multiple constraint method) based on NDC (null direction constraint) has been proposed for new spatial interferer filter. MCM-NDC using replica force a interferer component to be filtered through CSDM (cross-spectral density matrix). This filtering have an effect on sidelobe reduction and restoring of signal gain of a quiet target. This technique was applied to a simulation on Pekeris waveguide and vertical array data from MAPLE03 (matched acoustic properties and localization experiment) in the East Sea and was shown to improve SBNR (signal-to-background-and-noise ratio) over the standard MVDR (minimum-variance distortionless response) and NSP (null space projection) technique.

The underwater acoustic communication (UAC) is characterized by doubly spread channel. It is included in the time-variant doppler shift and delay-time spreads due to multiple paths. To compensate such distorted signals, various techniques including time-reversal processing, spatial diversity, phase estimator, and equalizer are being applied. In this paper, a spatial filter based on the beamforming is proposed as a method to mitigate such inter-symbol interferences that are generated in time-varying multipath channels. The proposed technique realizes coherent communications by steering the direction of the desired signals and improves the performance of UAC by increasing the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio using the array gain.

We present a method to improve the performance of the multi-channel Wiener filter in noisy environment. To build subspace-based multi-channel Wiener filter, in the case of single target source, the target speech component can be effectively estimated in the principal subspace of speech correlation matrix. The speech correlation matrix can be estimated by subtracting noise correlation matrix from signal correlation matrix based on the assumption that the cross-correlation between speech and interfering noise is negligible compared with speech correlation. However, this assumption is not valid in the presence of strong interfering noise and significant error can be induced in the principal subspace accordingly. In this paper, we propose to adjust the principal subspace vector using speech presence probability and the steering vector for the desired speech source. The multi-channel speech presence probability is derived in the principal subspace and applied to adjust the principal subspace vector. Simulation results show that the proposed method improves the performance of multi-channel Wiener filter in noisy environment.

When radar return contains strong jammers along with ground clutter echo, a STAP(space-time adaptive processing) algorithms tend to suppress jammer components more severely than it does the clutter. This hinders moving target detection in that the target echo is apt to be buried by clutter echo. This paper presents a two-step STAP algorithm in which the pre-suppression of jammer by the spatial filtering is applied, prior to applying the STAP algorithm. We propose how to find the coefficients of the spatial filter and show that the spatial filtering barely alter the spectra of the target and the clutter echo, having only to suppress the jammers. Finally, we simulate a STAP scenario with strong jammers and show the proposed algorithm can improve STAP performance.

Multi-Carrier CDMA 시스템에서 불완전한 채널 예측과 다중사용자 간섭은 시스템의 성능 저하를 유발한다. 본 논문에서는 역방향 링크에서 파일럿 심볼을 이용하여 채널을 예측하는 Multi-Carrier CDMA BPSK 시스템에서 불완전한 채널 예측과 다중사용자 간섭의 영향을 연구하였다. 더욱이, 라이시안 페이딩 채널의 역방향 링크에서 최대비 합성 공간 다이버시티와 선택 합성 공간 다이버시티 기법을 적용한 성능 개선에 대하여 연구하였다. 수치계산 결과, 파일럿 심볼을 이용하여 채널을 예측하는 Multi-Carrier CDMA BPSK 시스템의 BER 성능은 등가 잡음 대역폭의 분산($\sigma$$^2$$_{c}$)에 매우 민감하나 무선 채널에서의 신호 전력 대 잡음 전력비에는 그리 심하지 않았다. 불완전한 채널 예측에 의한 BER 열화와 파일럿 심볼 간격의 최적화는 라이시안 페이딩 채널에서 Multi-Carrier CDMA BPSK 시스템의 BER 계산을 통하여 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 불완전한 채널 예측에 의한 BER 열화는 신호 전력 대 잡음 전력비와 채널 예측 필터의 등가 잡음 대역폭에 관계하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Defects inspection of commodities are very important with those design and manufacturing process and essential to strengthen the competitiveness of those. If on-line automatic defects detection is performed without damaging to products, the production cost shall be curtailed through the reducing man-power, economical management of Q.C(Quality Control). In this paper, it is suggested three spatial filtering methods which can extract the necessary information in case of defects being on the surface of object like iron plate. In addition, the dependence of filtering characteristics on parameters such as the pitch and width of slits is analyzed and the surface defect detection system is constructed. Several experiments were carried out for determining the adequate spatial filtering method through comparing and analyzing effects of parameters like defect's size and shape, intensity of light, noise of coherent source and slit number.

In this paper, we studied on an efficient detection and removal of the periodic scanner interference noise in LANDSAT images. Firstly, noise models and their characteristics are discussed. And we proposed a new scheme of noise detection in Fourier domain. Then, an dfficient noise filter can be designed based on the detected noise components. To verifythe effectiveness of our scheme, some experiments guided by our proposed scheme are performed using a real LANDSAT image.

In this paper, a theory of the geological magnetic filter for the improvements of the signal to noise ratio of the magnetic detection system has been developed. The geological magnetic filter takes two sequences of magnetic fields measured from the reference sensor and the detector sensor and calculate the correlations between them in the frequency domain. Using the filter, we can remove the coherent noises in the time domain and improve the signal to noise ratio of the magnetic detection system. With the recent developments of the DSP hardware technology the geological magnetic filter can be easily implemented using the digital signal processor. We show the ability of the geological magnetic filter under various circumstances through computer simulations. Numerical simulation results show that geological magnetic filter can excellently remove the sensor misalignment effects and the regular short range local noise as well as it delete the coherent noises.

In this study, a system to measure continuously the fuel concentration in a steady flow rig on the basis of Rayleigh scattering is presented. The system can be employed to measure both the temporal and the spatial distribution. Also, it is possible to calibrate the system for the measurement of accurate absolute concentration. Firstly, the system was tested at a calibration chamber for the determination of scattering cross section from propane, butane, acetylene, Freon-12 and Genetron 143a. After this, the system was adapted to a steady flow rig to measure the temporal and spatial fuel concentration. The rig is composed of cylinder head, intake manifold, injector, and transparent cylinder which can simulate internal combustion engine. To cope with the problem of Mie scattering interference, a software filter was developed, which is based on the rise time and the time constant of the photomultiplier-amplifier system. The results show that LRS can provide useful informations about concentration field and the software filter is very effective method to remove Mie interference.
