In this paper, we developed a wideband PIMD system to measure passive intermodulation distortion signals of mobile communication RF passive module. To represent wideband characteristic, we designed a receiver that meets low-noise and wideband characteristics in RF receiver. It allows high dynamic range in the RF receiver front end. In designed passive intermodulation distortion measurement system, we programed to display a PIMD signal with FPGA/DSP at PC. Implemented PIMD system was variable from 650 MHz to 2700 MHz and show up to -138 dB minimum detectable $3^{rd}$ passive inetrmodulation distortion signal.

This paper is related with the compensation of communication channel characteristics using predistorter, and the considered characteristic is the additive noise, phase rotation and frequency selective fading which occurred in communication channel. Predistorter can minimize the effect of obstacle element which occured in channel at receiving side by transmitting the predistortion of signal after modulation, the coefficient of inverse electrical charateristic of communication channel is performed at transmitting side. For this purpose, the predistorter is designed by using Tricepstrum Equalization Algorithm which is adaptive equlizer algorithm, and the receiving side must transmit the probing signal to transmitting side. Using the probing signal, the transmitting side can obtain the inverse characteristic coefficient of communication channel, and this probing signal must be transmitted periodically. We assumed that the channel characteristic do not change during this one period. As a result of computer simulation, we confirmed that the performance of predistorter was fairly good as same as the adaptive equalizer, and this technique have a effectiveness that can be used in the forward channel of mobile communication in order to achieve high speed transmission.

A study on the indoor positioning system has been active recently, and TDOA technique using acoustic signal has been used generally. The drawback of the TDOA is very weak against signal distortion due to multipath effect. Especially to estimate the smartphone position, the sound distortion is very severe, and the generated radio signal jitter when using WLAN or Bluetooth as a time reference signal makes the receiver difficult to estimate the position. In this paper, acoustic trigger signal for the receiver preparing the positioning signal reception is proposed, and the mitigation of the multipath effect is shown.

배관의 PIG시스템은 비파괴검사로써 배관내부에 삽입되어 내부 매체에 의하여 추진되는 장치로서 영구자석을 이용한 자기회로를 형성하여 결함이 있을 때 누선자속을 검출하여 이를 해석하여 배관내의 결함의 크기와 깊이를 검출할 수 있다. 그러나 실제 검출신호는 PIG가 이동시 이동속도에 따른 와전류 문제와 가스관의 착자에 따른 히스테리시스특성에 따른 신호들이 실제 결함에 의한 신호를 왜곡시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 PIG 의 이동에 따른 이동속도에 따른 와전류 문제와 히스테리시스특성이 검출신호를 왜곡하는 현상에 대하여 연구 하였다.

본 논문에서는 뉴로-퍼지 제어기를 이용하여 밀폐공간에서의 능동 소음 제어기를 구현하였다. 능동 소음 제어기는 잡음에 의하여 왜곡된 신호로부터 잡음을 제거하여 원 신호를 복원하는 제어시스템이다. 일반적으로 잡음의 특성이 시간에 따라 변화라고, 전달특성이 비선형적이므로 고정된 제어기에 의해서는 제어할 수 없다. 이 논문에서는 뉴로-퍼지 제어기를 사용하여 파라미터를 오차 역전파 학습을 통하여 변화시킴으로써 잡응의 특성에 효과적을 적응하는 능동 소음 제어기를 구성하였다. 원신호는 음성신호를 사용하였으며 실제 소음과 소음 전달경로인 1차경로를 통과한 왜곡된 소음은 실험에 의해 얻은 데이터를 사용하였다. 제어신호의 전달경로인 2차경로는 100[kHz]에서 1[kHz]까지의 주파수 특성을 고려하여 curve fitting 방법을 사용하여 4차로 모델링한 결과를 사용하였다. 제안한 능동 소음 제어기의 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다.

We propose a predistorter to compensate for nolinear distortion induced by a high power amplifier employed in multi carrier-code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems. The proposed scheme rests upon the fixed point iteration (FPI) associated with the contraction mapping theorem. Unlike the predistorter based on the FPI already presented by the authors in other literatures which operates on complex-valued modulation signals, the proposed predistorter in this paper deals with real-valued FPI on modulation signal amplitudes, resulting in less complexity. Simulation results on a BPSK-modulated, 64-subcarrier synchronous MC-CDMA baseband system with a traveling wave tube amplifier in the transmitter, indicate that the proposed predistorter achieves significant improvement in terms of bit error rate and total degradation over those without the predistorter. Moreover, the proposed predistorter outperforms the complex-valued counterpart, in particular, for small output back-off levels.

In this paper, the effect of nonllinear distortion, caused by a high-power amplifier(HPA) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, on the receiver part is analyzed. Since the HPA, which can be modeled by a memeoryless Volterra system, distorts OFDM signals in a nonlinear fashion, the received signal at each subchannel includes the multiplicative distortion of 1-st order as well as additive nonlinear distortion of high-order. the nonlinear distortion can be viewed as a nonlinear interchannel interference (NICI) since it consists of harmonic distortions and intermodulation distortions, produced by oother subchannels affecting the subchannel of interest. In this paper, we analytically derive the variance of NICI in terms of average input power using the volterra model for HPA, and then calculate the bit-effor rate(BER) performance of an OFDM system. Also, we propose a simple method to compensate for the phase distortion in OFDM system amplified by HPA, OFDM system employing 16-QAM constellation input.

Electric cables such as multi-interphone cables and ribbon cab]os are commonly used for data aquisition in the DC resistivity survey. In general, electromagnetic induction may occur in the electric cables when electric current flows through them. In case of using multi-interphone cables in the DC resistivity survey, electromagnetic induction could take place due to the entangled wires of the multi-interphone cables, when the current flows through them. Then, the electromagnetic induction may cause measured DC resistivity data to be distorted. In this study, a monitoring system with PXI (PCI Extention for Instrumentation) was constructed to examine signal distortion on the DC resistivity data, attributed to the electromagnetic induction. Common electric cables used in the DC resistivity survey were tested to observe the waveforms of the electric voltages. The waveforms measured were compared to examine signal distortion due to the electromagnetic induction. The results may provide information on the resistivity data obtained using different electric cables in the DC resistivity survey. The distortion of waveforms attributed to the electromagnetic induction wat not observed when using ribbon cables for DC resistivity data aquisition, while the distortion were observed when using multi-interphone. Therefore, the ribbon cables provide better quality of data than other cables in the DC resistivity data aquisition.

H.264/AVC는 휘도 신호 $4{\times}4$ 블록을 위하여 9개의 화면 내 예측모드를 사용한다. 예측 모드는 8개의 방향성을 가진 모드와 하나의 비방향성 DC 모드가 있다. 휘도 신호 $16{\times}16$ 블록에서는 4가지의 예측 모드가 있으며 색차 신호 $8{\times}8$ 에서도 4개의 예측모드를 사용한다. 이러한 예측 모드들 중 최적의 예측 모드를 선택하기 위하여, 부호화기는 선택 가능한 모든 예측 모드의 율-왜곡 비용을 계산한 후, 최적의 율-왜곡 비용을 가진 예측 모드를 사용하여 부호화를 수행한다. 따라서 H.264/AVC의 화면 내 예측 과정은 많은 계산 복잡도를 가진다. 특히 하이 프로파일에서는 휘도 신호 $8{\times}8$ 블록이 화면 내 예측을 위해서 고려되므로 더욱 많은 계산 복잡도를 요구한다. 이에 본 논문은 H.264/AVC 하이 프로파일의 화면 내 예측의 부호화 계산 복잡도를 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 현재 매크로 블록의 분산을 계산한 후, 이를 이용하여 율-왜곡 최적화에 후보로 사용되어지는 블록 모드를 결정하고, 각 블록 모드에서 제공하는 예측 모드들을 효율적으로 선택하는 방법을 연구 개발하였다. 제안된 방법은 기존 H.264/AVC 참조 소프트웨어인 JM13.1 부호화 시간 대비 약 83%의 연산시간이 감소하는 결과를 보였다.

This paper proposes a noise reduction algorithm using Wiener filter to remove the noise components from the noisy speech in order to improve the speech signal. The proposed algorithm first removes the noise spectrums of white noise from the noisy signal based on the noise reshaping and reduction method at each frame. And this algorithm enhances the speech signal using Wiener filter based on linear predictive coding analysis. In this experiment, experimental results of the proposed algorithm demonstrate using the speech and noise data by Japanese male speaker. Based on measuring the spectral distortion (SD) measure, experiments confirm that the proposed algorithm is effective for the speech by contaminated white noise. From the experiments, the maximum improvement in the output SD values was 4.94 dB better for white noise compared with former Wiener filter.
