Wideband speech communications with 7㎑ bandwidth can provide high-quality speech services that are almost impossible with current narrow-band speech communications with 3.4 ㎑ bandwidth, and AMR wideband codec was recently developed for these services. The performance of AMR wideband codec is excellent due to its wideband information and partially to ACELP structure, but it requires high computational complexity especially in codebook search. In this paper, to solve this problem, an efficient codebook search method for AMR wideband codec is proposed. The proposed method first determines the coarse initial codevector, then improves the performance of codevector by replacing a poor pulse in codevector with better one iteratively. Simulations show that AMR wideband codec with proposed codebook search method has higher performance with much less computational cost than conventional AMR wideband codec.

There are range and azimuth direction resolution of synthetic aperture radar on the aircraft or satellite. Wide bandwidth chirp pulse generation technology is prerequisite for SAR image with fine resolution. There are two kinds of digital chirp pulse generation technology as arbitrary waveform generator(AWG) and direct digital synthesizer(DDS). In this paper, we design and implement a digital chirp pulse generator to generate 300MHz wide bandwidth linear FM chirp pulse for the fine resolution image with direct digital synthesizer. Implemented chirp pulse generator can be useful for the SAR sensors to make 50cm range resolution image.

GPR은 건물의 크랙, 지중 매설물과 같은 정보를 수집하기 위해 좁은 펄스를 사용하므로 넓은 대역의 주파수 특성을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 광대역 특성을 가지는 안테나를 마이크로스트립을 이용하여 보우타이 형태로 설계하였다. 설계 기판으로는 $\varepsilon$$_{r}$=4.0, t=1.6 mm의 FR-4 유전체 기판을 사용하였다. 제작된 안테나는 S$_{11}$<-10 ㏈에서 10.62%의 대역폭을 가지고, 5.778GHz에서 -33.3 ㏈의 S$_{11}$과 1.04의 VSWR 값을 나타내었다.

We generated 9-fs pulses from a Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser only using commercial optical components. Two sets of prisms pair made of fused silica were used to compensate group delay dispersion inside and outside the laser oscillator respectively, and broadband mirrors were used to obtain a broad spectrum. By comparison between reflectance curves of the broadband mirrors and those of previous ones, broadband mirrors which have high reflectance bandwidth of over 180 nm were found to be essential to produce sub-IO-fs pulses. ulses.

In recent SONAR (sound navigation and ranging) systems, wideband active SONAR systems has received more attention than narrowband SONAR systems due to the remarkable detection performance in terms of range resolution. However, the wideband SONAR systems usually requires a huge amount of computational burden in order to achieve their own superiority. To cope with this drawback of the wideband SONAR systems, this paper proposes a fast target detection and velocity estimation method using an extended replica in wideband hyperbolic frequency modulation active SONAR system. Computer simulation shows that the proposed method can be implemented by a highly reduced computational complexity with a little performance degradation in target detection and velocity estimation compared to the conventional filter bank method.

In this paper, we analyzed the impedance characteristic of the bow-tie antenna for the broadband operation. The pulsed subsurface radar uses the impulse to collect information for subsurface objects, so the broadband antenna is used to minimize reflections in the feed point for the broadband characteristic of impulse. Therefore, in this paper we analyzed the broadband bow-tie antenna with Ensemble 5.0.

This paper proposes a design of W-band mm-wave wideband monopulse comparator using waveguide structure for applications. The main idea of proposed design is to combine a self-compensating phase shifter on $90^{\circ}$ hybrid for wideband $180^{\circ}$ hybrid. Using multiple conventional phase shifters, because of their narrow-band characteristics, tends to restrict working bandwidth of system including antennas. Proposed comparator could relieve the problem since it applies the self-compensating phase shifter. The comparator has waveguide structure so it shows excellent characteristic in loss. It also show wideband characteristic in amplitude and phase response between ports.

In this paper, the method to design the antenna, which is suitable for an impulse-like waveform radiation, is presented. In general, the impulse-like waveform has its spectrum of around sub GHz bandwidth and the antenna should be properly designed for not only operating wide-bandwidth also reflecting the time domain characteristics for near-zone impulse radar applications. In this regard, Vivaldi antenna has been designed and characterized in terms of short-pulse radiating aspects in the time domain and verified by measured results. The designed antenna has shown to be operating within wide-bandwidth and to be stable for the input impedance from 1.8 to more than 10GHz. The far-zone radiating waveform has been investigated on each plane at the interval of 30degree and the designed antenna has shown to be a directive characteristic. It can be seen that those results proposed are widely applicable to the near area sensing applications such as ground-penetrating radar.
