Noise cancellation is essential for the devices which use speech as an interface. In real environments, speech quality and recognition rates are degraded by the auditive noises coming near the microphone. In this paper, we propose a noise cancellation algorithm using stereo microphones basically. The advantage of the use of multiple microphones is that the direction information of the target source could be applied. The proposed noise canceller is based on the Wiener filter. To estimate the filter, noise and target speech frequency responses should be known and they are estimated by the spectral classification in the frequency domain. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with that of the well-known Frost algorithm and the generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC) with an adaptation mode controller (AMC). As performance measures, the perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ), which is the most widely used among various objective speech quality methods, and speech recognition rates are adopted.

의사잡음 시퀀스를 이용한 대역확산 기반의 오디오 워터마킹은 들리지 않으면서도 강인한 워터마크를 만들기 위해 심리음향모델이나 고정필터를 사용하여 의사잡음 시퀀스를 변형시킨다. 그런데, 이러한 방법을 이용하여 스펙트럼 변형된 의사잡음은 고주파 영역에 대부분의 에너지를 갖게 되므로 인위적으로 오디오 신호의 고주파 영역을 잘라내는 공격에 취약하다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 보안하고 강인성 및 잡음의 최소화를 위하여 중간값의 성질을 이용하여 의사잡음을 변형 후 삽입하는 워터마킹 시스템을 제안한다. 중간값 성질을 이용하여 변형한 의사잡음은 원 오디오 신호와의 상관성이 높으며 전주파수 대역에 고르게 분포하는 성질이 있으므로 고주파 영역의 공격에 강인하다. 제안 방법은 의사잡음의 고유성질을 최대로 살린 방법으로 각종 오디오 부호화, 부가잡음, 다운/업 샘플링, 채널변경, 진폭 공격과 같은 다양한 공격에도 워터마크 신호의 검출이 가능하다.

The power line communication channel has characteristic variation problems which are caused by load. The spread spectrum technique has been used to overcome these problems. One of that is the direct sequence spread spectrum(DS/SS) system which is not necessary to additional hardwares. The BER of DS/SS system is decreased by longer length of PN code, but data transfer rate is decreases, so data transfer rate is hard to satisfies their own specifications especially in narrowband PLC systems. Spread Spectrum system with Dual-processing Gain tries to reflect cyclic characteristics of power line noise. But that system assumes that shapes of power line channel are symmetrical with respect to the 1/4 point of main frequency(60Hz in Korea), therefore cannot achieves various shapes of real power line noise. Thus in this paper, noise adaptive DS/SS system which PN code is changed by noise levels for various channel noises is proposed and simulated. The different kinds of noises are modeled and measured for simulation, the proposed system is verified that has lower data transfer rate and lower error rate than conventional system by simulation results.

A passive type of fence security system was developed, which was based on electric charge detection technique. The implemented fence security system was installed at outskirts of greenhouse laboratory in the University of Seoul. The purpose of this research is to minimize false alarms by analyzing environmental noise. The existing system determines the intrusion alarm by analyzing the power of amplified signal, but the alarm was seriously affected by natural strong wind and heavy rainfall. The SAU(Signal Analysis Unit) sends input signals to remote server which displays intrusion alarm and stores all the information in database. The environmental noise such as temperature, humidity and wind speed was separately gathered to analyze a correlation with input signal. The input signal was analyzed for frequency characteristic using FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) and the algorithm that differentiate between intrusion alarm and environmental noise signal is improved. The proposed algorithm is applied for the site for one month as the same as the existing algorithm and the false alarm data was gathered and analyzed. The false alarm number was decreased by 98% after new algorithm was applied to the fence. The proposed algorithm improved the reliability at the field regarding environmental noise signal.

This paper proposes a noise-tolerant image classification system using multiple autoencoders. The development of deep learning technology has dramatically improved the performance of image classifiers. However, if the images are contaminated by noise, the performance degrades rapidly. Noise added to the image is inevitably generated in the process of obtaining and transmitting the image. Therefore, in order to use the classifier in a real environment, we have to deal with the noise. On the other hand, the autoencoder is an artificial neural network model that is trained to have similar input and output values. If the input data is similar to the training data, the error between the input data and output data of the autoencoder will be small. However, if the input data is not similar to the training data, the error will be large. The proposed system uses the relationship between the input data and the output data of the autoencoder, and it has two phases to classify the images. In the first phase, the classes with the highest likelihood of classification are selected and subject to the procedure again in the second phase. For the performance analysis of the proposed system, classification accuracy was tested on a Gaussian noise-contaminated MNIST dataset. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the proposed system in the noisy environment has higher accuracy than the CNN-based classification technique.

Noises from circuits components and interference with other circuits components generate the phase noise in voltage controlled oscillators (VCO). The effects of the random noise on the phase noise is depending on the instant when the noise enters the VCO. When the noise enters at the transition time of the output of VCO, the effect is most prominent. Using this time variable system, it is revealed that the power spectral density of phase noise of VCO is made of the integrated noise powers of frequency components slightly offset from the fundamental and harmonic frequencies.

본 논문에서는 위성통신 환경에서 DS/CDMA DPSK 시스템의 성능을 분석한다. 성능분석의 척도로 비트오류확률을 사용한다. 위성전송로는 쉐도잉이 있는 라이시안 페이딩 전송로로 모델링한다. 수치계산의 결과, 위상잡음이 존재할 때 비트오율 성능이 저하되므로 시스템 용랑이 감소될 것이 예상된다. 또한 위성전송로에서는 쉐도잉이 시스템 전체 성능에 커다란 영향을 미침을 알 수 있다. 본 논문에서의 분석은 DS/CDMA 기반의 위성통신 시스템 설계에 적용할 수 있다.

The PhotoAcoustic Microscopy (PAM) has been proved to be a useful tool for biological and medical applications due to its high spatial and contrast resolution. PAM is based on transmission of laser pulses and reception of PA signals. Since the strength of PA signals is generally low, not only are high-performance optical and acoustic modules required, but high-performance electronics for imaging are also particularly needed for high-quality PAM imaging. Most PAM systems are implemented with a combination of several pieces of equipment commercially available to receive, amplify, enhance, and digitize PA signals. To this end, PAM systems are inevitably bulky and not optimal because general purpose equipment is used. This paper reports a PA signal receiving system recently developed to attain the capability of improved Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR) of PAM images; the main module of this system is a low noise, wideband signal receiver that consists of two low-noise amplifiers, two variable gain amplifiers, analog filters, an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC), and control logic. From phantom imaging experiments, it was found that the developed system can improve SNR by 6.7 dB and CNR by 3 dB, compared to a combination of several pieces of commercially available equipment.

This paper newly analyzes the effect of the phase noise in the frequency synthesizer on the performance of SFH/M-NCFSK system by standard frequency deviation(equation omitted) when noncoherent FSK demodulation of the square-law detector is considered. We derive the SER in the SFH system and analyze the effect of phase noise on the SFH/M-NCFSK system performance according to the hopping frequency spacing (1/T$\_$h/) and the variation of the standard frequency deviation (equation omitted). The required SNR is about 13.4 dB to meet Ps=10$\^$-3/ when the standard frequency deviation is about 4.0 Hz and the hopping frequency spacing (1/T$\_$h/) in the SFH/2-NCFSK system is 30. So, there is about 2.4 dB power penalty than the phase noise-free system. If the hopping frequency spacing 1/T$\_$h/ is under 30, the error floor may happen and SER considerably grows up. We show that the analytic results closely match with the simulation results.
