This paper analyzes the performance of symbol timing recovery and equalizer in 8VSB digital terrestrial TV receiver under various multipath signals and proposes equalization techniques which improve indoor reception performance. Data segment sync is used for symbol timing recovery and timing offset is measured for echoes of various delays and amplitudes by using symbol timing detection filter whose pattern is +1. +1. -1. and -1. Measured timing offsets were below 10% for long echoes with more than 5 symbol delay and above 30% for short echoes with around 1 symbol delay. Indoor reception is always more challenging than outdoor reception due to lower signal strength. large and short multipaths. and moving interfering objects. So it is considered to use FSE (Fractionally Spaced Equalizer) which is very robust to timing offset and blind equalizer which can update equalizer tap coefficients even by information data. We compare the performance of conventional DFE (Decision Feedback Equalizer) and FSE-DFE using LMS algorithm and Stop and Go algorithm for the indoor reception. Experiments reveals FSE has excellent performance for large timing offset and Stop and Go algorithm shows good performance for Doppler shift. so we propose to use FSE-DFE structure with Stop and Go algorithm for the reliable indoor reception.

레이더 기술의 발전으로 말미암아, 현재의 기상 레이더는 그 관측 범위와 정밀성 뿐 아니라, 시공간 해상도의 월등한 향상을 이룩하였으며, 특히 이중편파 기술을 이용한 기상 관측을 통해 기존의 단일편파 레이더로 해석할 수 없었던 다양한 대기현상 분석을 가능케 하였다. 이처럼 기상레이더 관측 기술의 발전은 광범위한 관측반경과 높은 시공간해상도로 관측 정확성을 향상시킨 반면, 해상도 증가에 따른 기본적인 자료량이 증가되었으며 이중편파를 활용한 자료해석기법의 다양화로 인해 레이더 자료의 용량 또한 기하급수적으로 증가하게 되었다. 이러한 이유로 현재 도입이 진행중인 고성능의 기상레이더들로부터 광범위한 국토 범위에 대해 지속적으로 관측되는 방대한 양의 레이더 자료를 저장하고 분석하기 위해서는 많은 시간과 비용이 요구될 것으로 우려된다. 그러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 레이더 자료의 유통 특성을 분석한 바, 기상레이더 자료는 자료의 획득시부터, 신호처리, 품질관리, 기상분석 등의 단계를 거치며, 각 단계의 사용자에 의해 각각 처리되고 가공되는 특성이 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 제안 기법은 각 레이더 자료의 특성을 재해석하는 방법으로 압축함으로써 용량을 최소화시키는 동시에, 레이더 자료의 각 유통 단계의 여러 사용자들에게 서비스 될 수 있는 생성, 가공 및 단순화된 형태의 자료를 모두 포함하면서 각 단계의 사용자들에 적합한 자료의 형태로 제공할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 실험 결과, 기상레이더 자료의 특성과 기상 에코의 분포를 이용한 내용 기반 손실 압축 기법을 통해 다양한 사용자들을 위한 적응적이고, 효율적인 압축을 수행할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

일정한 시간간격으로 제공되는 연속된 두 장의 레이더 반사도(합성 CAPPI) 자료의 최대 상관계수를 찾아 냄으로써 강수의 움직임을 산출하는 TREC(Tracking Radar Echoes by Correlation) 기법은 동일 고도의 레이더 반사도 자료를 이용하기 때문에 수평방향의 2차원이며, 대류성 구름체계에서 발생되는 수직 활동을 표현할 수 없는 한계성을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 여러 고도의 레이더 반사도 자료를 이용하여 기존의 TREC 기법을 이용한 단시간 예보모형을 개선하고자 하였다. 특정고도의 레이더 반사도를 이용하여 에코를 추적하는 TREC 기법의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 서로 다른 고도의 레이더 반사도를 이용함으로써 기존의 접근법보다 실제 강수의 움직임에 더욱 가깝도록 단시간 강우 예보 정확도를 개선하였다.

Purpose To compare the sensitivities of T2-weighted image (T2WI) and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) in detecting cerebral arteriovenous fistula (AVF), cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM), and carotid-cavernous sinus fistula (CCF), and to qualitatively evaluate single-echo SWI (s-SWI) and multi-echo SWI (m-SWI) in characterizing vascular lesions. Materials and Methods From January 2016 to December 2021, cerebral angiography-proven lesions were recruited. The sensitivities of T2WI and SWI in detecting vascular lesions were compared using McNemar's test. Qualitative evaluations of s-SWI and m-SWI were categorized to be of poor, average, or good quality and compared using Fisher's exact test. Results A total of 24 patients (mean age: 61 years, 12 female, and 12 male) were enrolled. Twenty patients underwent s-SWI or m-SWI, and four patients underwent both. AVF, AVM, and CCF were diagnosed in 10, 11, and 3 patients, respectively. SWI demonstrated higher sensitivity compared to that of T2WI (82.1% vs. 53.6%, p = 0.013). m-SWI showed better image quality compared to that of s-SWI (good quality, 83.3% vs. 25.0%, p = 0.009). Conclusion SWI demonstrated a higher sensitivity for detecting cerebral arteriovenous shunts compared to that of T2WI. m-SWI exhibited better image quality compared to that of s-SWI in characterizing vascular lesions.

Purpose : The objective of this study was to develop background gradient correction method using excitation pulse profile compensation for accurate fat and $T_2{^*}$ quantification in the liver. Materials and Methods: In liver imaging using gradient echo, signal decay induced by linear background gradient is weighted by an excitation pulse profile and therefore hinders accurate quantification of $T_2{^*}$and fat. To correct this, a linear background gradient in the slice-selection direction was estimated from a $B_0$ field map and signal decays were corrected using the excitation pulse profile. Improved estimation of fat fraction and $T_2{^*}$ from the corrected data were demonstrated by phantom and in vivo experiments at 3 Tesla magnetic field. Results: After correction, in the phantom experiments, the estimated $T_2{^*}$ and fat fractions were changed close to that of a well-shimmed condition while, for in vivo experiments, the background gradients were estimated to be up to approximately 120 ${\mu}T/m$ with increased homogeneity in $T_2{^*}$ and fat fractions obtained. Conclusion: The background gradient correction method using excitation pulse profile can reduce the effect of macroscopic field inhomogeneity in signal decay and can be applied for simultaneous fat and iron quantification in 2D gradient echo liver imaging.

Recently, the technologies of adaptive noise cancellation(ANC) are developed fast and widely due to the highly sophisticated digital signal processing algorithms and the high-speed communication networks and devices. But, thousand numbers of the adaptive filter taps are required to obtain the satisfying results in the fields of the adaptive noise cancellation and echo cancellation. In the paper, performance comparisons based on the real-time processing between frequency domain adaptive filter(FDAF) and multi-delay frequency domain adaptive filter(MDF) are carried. Those algorithms provide us with the reductions of the computational burdens and the increase of the convergence rate for the lengthy Fill adaptive filters. The time delay due to the long taps of FDAF can be reduced by adopting the MDF algorithms. The conventional ANC and cross talks ANC using FDAF are implemented on the dSP ACE 1103 real-time signal processing board.

Species identification in hydroacoustic survey is one of the key requirements to estimate biomass of organism and to understand the structure of zooplankton community. Feasibility of species identification using two frequencies (38 and 120 kHz) was investigated on the basis of mean volume backscattering strength difference (MVBS). Virtual echogram technique was applied to two frequencies data sets that obtained from surveys in the Antarctic Ocean and Yellow Sea. Virtual echogram method using MVBS revealed the possibility of species identification, which species identification relying on visual scrutiny of single frequency acoustic data resulted in significant errors in biomass estimation. Through noise cancellation using MVBS, much of the acoustic noise caused by acoustic instruments could be removed in new virtual echogram, and the biomass estimation and data quality was improved.
