  • This paper contributes to an improvement of the statistical bandwidth extension(BWE) system based on Hidden Markov Model(HMM). First, the existing HMM training method for BWE, which is suggested originally by Jax, is analyzed in comparison with the general Baum-Welch training method. Next, based on this analysis, a new HMM-based BWE method is suggested which adopts the Baum-Welch re-estimation algorithm instead of the Jax's to train HMM model. Conclusionally speaking, the Baum-Welch re-estimation algorithm is a generalized form of the Jax's training method. It is flexible and adaptive in modeling the statistical characteristic of training data. Therefore, it generates a better model to the training data, which results in an enhanced BWE system. According to experimental results, the new method performs much better than the Jax's BWE systemin all cases. Under the given test conditions, the RMS log spectral distortion(LSD) scores were improved ranged from 0.31dB to 0.8dB, and 0.52dB in average.

  • Bandwidth extension is a technique to improve speech quality, intelligibility and naturalness, extending from the 300 ~ 3,400 Hz narrowband speech to the 50 ~ 7,000 Hz wideband speech. In this paper, an Artificial Bandwidth Extension (ABE) module embedded in the Opus audio decoder is designed using the information of narrowband speech to reduce the computational complexity of LPC (Linear Prediction Coding) and LSF (Line Spectral Frequencies) analysis and the algorithm delay of the ABE module. We proposed a spectral envelope extension method using DBN (Deep Belief Network), one of deep learning techniques, and the proposed scheme produces better extended spectrum than the traditional codebook mapping method.

  • This paper analyzes the relationship between two representative statistical methods for bandwidth extension (BWE): Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) ones, and compares their performances. The HMM method is a memory-based system which was developed to take advantage of the inter-frame dependency of speech signals. Therefore, it could be expected to estimate better the transitional information of the original spectra from frame to frame. To verify it, a dynamic measure that is an approximation of the 1st-order derivative of spectral function over time was introduced in addition to a static measure. The comparison result shows that the two methods are similar in the static measure, while, in the dynamic measure, the HMM method outperforms explicitly the GMM one. Moreover, this difference increases in proportion to the number of states of HMM model. This indicates that the HMM method would be more appropriate at least for the 'blind BWE' problem. On the other hand, nevertheless, the GMM method could be treated as a preferable alternative of the HMM one in some applications where the static performance and algorithm complexity are critical.

  • In this paper, we discuss a method for efficiently coding the high-band signal in the split-band coding approach where an input signal is divided into two bands and then each band may be encoded separately. Generally, and especially through the research on the artificial bandwidth extension (BWE), it is well known that there is a correlation between the two bands to some degree. Therefore, some coding gain could be achieved by utilizing the correlation. In the BWE-prediction-based coding approach, using a simple linear BWE function may not yield optimal results because the correlation has a non-linear characteristic. In this paper, we investigate the new coding scheme more in details. A few representative BWE functions including linear and non-linear ones are investigated and compared to find a suitable one for the coding purpose. In addition, it is also discussed whether there are some additional gains in combining the BWE coder with the predictive vector quantizer which exploits the temporal correlation.

  • A cross-shaped microstripline-fed printed slot antenna having wide bandwidth Is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is analyzed by using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method. It was found that the bandwidth of the antenna depends highly on the length of the horizontal and vertical feedline as well as the offset position of the feedline. The maximum bandwidth of this antenna is from 1.975 GHz to 4.725 GHz, which is approximately 1.3 octave, for the VSWR $\leq$ 2. Experimental data for the return loss and the radiation pattern of the antenna are also presented. and they are in good agreement with the FDTD results.e FDTD results.

  • In this paper, we proposed to a new structure of T-shaped fed microstrip slot antenna using 2-layers dielectric material with a directional radiation characteristic. When the slot antenna of bi-directional radiation want to radiate only one direction, the reflector must be set up, but this antenna does'nt need set up reflector. T-shaped microstrip feed line is proposed for a better impedance matching to the microstrip slot antenna in a various range of slot widths. It was also found that the bandwidth of this antenna is proportional to the slot width. It was also found that the radiation resistance of this feed line structure is quite constant and low regardless to the slot width. We also analyzed this antenna by using the FDTD method, and calculating waves and electric field distribution in the time domain. we also are calculated return loss, VSWR, and radiation pattern in the frequency domain by Fourier transforming the time domain results, respectively. From the measured results, bandwidth was 34.8% in the center frequency. These results were in relatively good accordance with the calculated values.

  • In this paper, a T-shaped microstrip feed line is proposed for a better impedance matching to the microstrip slot antenna in a various range of slot widths. It was found that the bandwidth of this antenna is proportional to the slot width. It was also found that the radiation resistance of this feed line structure is quite constant and low regardless to the slot width. A slot antenna with T-shaped microstrip feed line is analyzed by using the FDTD method. At first, the propagation process of the reflected wave and the electric field distribution in the time domain is calculated respectively. The antenna parameters also are optimized to get maximum band width, return loss, input impedance, and radiation pattern in the frquency domain by Fourier transforming the time domain results. From the computed results, the optimum slot antenna is designed and fabricated. When the slot width is 16 mm, approximately 35% of bandwidths are obtained without a matching circuit. These computed results using FDTD method were in relatively good accordance with the measured values.

  • The infuluence of Doppler effects on the tracking performance of a noncoherent second-order delay locked loop (DLL) operating on a data modulated signal is investigated. For the perfoermance analysis we consider the tracking accuracy (steady state error and jitter) of the linear DLL and the reliability of the nonlinear loop. The nonlinear analysis concerning the loop reliability makes use of an asympototic expansion for the MTLL(mean time to lose lock) which has been derived by applying the singular perturbation method. In particular, we give optimal loop parameters and the optimal bandwidth of the bandpass filter in the loop arms to achieve a maximum MTLL. Since Doppler effects can be producesd comparatively in LEO system, we can espect the more reliable DLL loop design. by using the results of the circuit simulation, the delay lock loop is synthesized in FPGA, and verified to get the GPS data from the STR-2770 GPS simulator system. So, the synthesized logic circuit is shown be accurately performed.
