Purpose: In radiotherapy that takes into account respiration using a RPM (Real time Position Management, Varian, USA) system, which can treat in consideration of the movement of tumor, infrared reflective markers supplied by manufacturers cannot obtain respiratory signal if the couch rotates at a certain angle or larger. In order to solve this problem, the author developed the 3D infrared reflective marker named 'Kw-marker' that can obtain respiratory signal at any angle, and evaluate its usefulness. Materials and Methods: In order to measure the stability of respiratory signal, we put the infrared reflective marker on the 3D moving phantom that can reproduce respiratory movement and acquired respiratory signal for 3 minutes under each of 3 conditions (A: $couch\;0^{\circ}$, a manufacturer's infrared reflective marker B: $couch\;0^{\circ}$, Kw-marker C: $couch\;90^{\circ}$, Kw-marker). By analyzing the respiratory signal using a breath analysis program (Labview Ver. 7.0), we obtained the peak value, valley value, standard deviation, variation value, and amplitude value. In order to examine the rotation error and moving range of the target, we placed a B.B phantom on the 3D moving phantom, and obtained images at a couch angle of $0^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ using OBI, and then acquired the X, Y and Z values (mm) of the ball bearing at the center of the B.B phantom. Results: According to the results of analyzing the respiratory signal, the standard deviation at the peak value was A: 0.002, B: 0.002 and C: 0.003, and the stability of respiration for amplitude was A: 0.15%, B: 0.14% and C:0.13%, showing that we could get respiratory signal stably by using the Kw-marker. When the couch rotated $couch\;90^{\circ}$, the mean rotation error of the ball bearing, namely, the target was X: -1.25 mm, Y: -0.45 mm and Z: +0.1 mm, which were within 1.3 mm on the average in all directions, and the difference in the moving range of the target was within 0.3 mm. Conclusion: When we obtained respiratory signal using the Kw-marker in non-coplanar treatment where the couch rotated, we could acquire respiratory signal stably and the Kw-marker was effective enough to substitute for the manufacturer's infrared reflective marker. When the rotation error and moving range of the target were measured, there was little difference, indicating that the displacement of the reflector movement in couch rotation is the cause of change in the scale and amplitude of respiratory signal. If the converted value of amplitude height according to couch angle is studied further and applied, it may be possible to perform non-coplanar phase-based gating treatment.

과학로케트에 탑재되는 x-선 검출기에서 검출되는 2 kev 에서 10 kev 사이의 x-선 신호를 분석하여 데이터를 얻고, 전송하기 위한 피로를 설계하고 제작하였다. 신호처리회로의 전체적인 구성은 2 - 10 key의 x-선 에너지 및 event time을 측정하는 회로 및8-선 계수율을 측정하기 위한 카운터회로를 위주로 설계하였으며, x-선 event의 에너지가 측정에너지를 벗어나거나 상승시간이 긴 신호는 anti-coincidence 회로를 통하여 제거되고, 그 계수율이 기록되도록 설계 제작되었다. 또한 신호처리회로에서 얻은 데이터는 telemetry를 통하여 serial 형태로 전송되어야 하므로 8086 microprocessor를 이용하여 데이터를 획득하고 전송하도록 하였다. 따라서 본 실험에서 제작된 신호처리회로의 기능 및 특성에 대해 논하고자 한다.

In this paper, the Low Rank Approximation (LRA) method to suppress the interference of signals from temporal fluctuations is applied. The reverberation signals and temporally fluctuating signals are separated from the measured data using the Ink. The Singular value decomposition (SVD) method is applied to extract the low rank and the temporally stable reverberation was extracted using the LRA. The reverberation suppression is performed on the LRA residual value obtained by removing the approximate reverberation signals. In overall, the method can be applied to the suppression of reververation in active sonar system as well as to the modeling of reverberation.

Purpose : To evaluate the usefulness of the breathing exercise,we analyzed the change in the RPM signal and the diaphragm imagebefore 4D respiratory gated radiation therapy planning of lung cancer patients. Materials and Methods : The breathing training was enforced on 11 patients getting the 4D respiratory gated radiation therapy from April, 2016 until August. At the same time, RPM signal and diaphragm image was obtained respiration training total three steps in step 1 signal acquisition of free-breathing state, 2 steps respiratory signal acquisition through the guide of the respiratory signal, 3 steps, won the regular respiration signal to the description and repeat training. And then, acquired the minimum value, maximum value, average value, and a standard deviation of the inspiration and expiration in RPM signal and diaphragm image in each steps. Were normalized by the value of the step 1, to convert the 2,3 steps to the other distribution ratio (%), by evaluating the change in the interior of the respiratory motion of the patient, it was evaluated breathing exercise usefulness of each patient. Results : The mean value and the standard deviation of each step were obtained with the procedure 1 of the RPM signal and the diaphragm amplitude as a 100% reference. In the RPM signal, the amplitudes and standard deviations of four patients (36.4%, eleven) decreased by 18.1%, 27.6% on average in 3 steps, and 2 patients (18.2%, 11 people) had standard deviation, It decreased by an average of 36.5%. Meanwhile, the other four patients (36.4%, eleven) decreased by an average of only amplitude 13.1%. In Step 3, the amplitude of the diaphragm image decreased by 30% on average of 9 patients (81.8%, 11 people), and the average of 2 patients (18.2%, 11 people) increased by 7.3%. However, the amplitudes of RPM signals and diaphragm image in 3steps were reduced by 52.6% and 42.1% on average from all patients, respectively, compared to the 2 steps. Relationship between RPM signal and diaphragm image amplitude difference was consistent with patterns of movement 1, 2 and 3steps, respectively, except for No. 2 No. 10 patients. Conclusion : It is possible to induce an optimized respiratory cycle when respiratory training is done. By conducting respiratory training before treatment, it was possible to expect the effect of predicting the movement of the lung which could control the patient's respiration. Ultimately, it can be said that breathing exercises are useful because it is possible to minimize the systematic error of radiotherapy, expect more accurate treatment. In this study, it is limited to research analyzed based on data on respiratory training before treatment, and it will be necessary to verify with the actual CT plan and the data acquired during treatment in the future.

위성신호는 저앙각에 위치하거나 재밍 및 간섭신호의 영향을 받으면 약해진다. 이러한 약신호를 안정적으로 추적하기 위해서는 신호추적루프의 대역폭이 가능하면 작아야 한다. 그러나 작은 대역폭의 신호추적루프는 고기동 환경에서 기준주파수의 주파수오차를 포함한 입력오차가 커져 불안정해진다. 본 논문에서는 최대 저크 15g/s의 동적특성을 가지는 항체의 항법정보를 획득하고 동시에 28dB-Hz의 약신호도 안정적으로 추적할 수 있는 신호추적루프를 연구한다. 이를 위해 위성신호 상태를 예측할 수 있는 SNR, 앙각, 항체의 가속도 등을 고려하여 대역폭 및 PIT를 가변적으로 설계한 적응형 신호추적루프를 설계한다. 또한 약신호인 C/No 28dB-Hz 신호를 안정적으로 추적하기 위해 10ms의 PIT(Predetection Integration Time)와 비트동기를 고려한 Coherent 방식을 적용한 반송파 위상추적루프를 설계한다. 이렇게 설계된 신호추적루프의 성능을 검증하기 위해 항체의 동적환경과 위성신호 크기를 묘사해줄 수 있는 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 위성신호 추적성능을 시험하고 결과를 분석한다.

A unified method for separating musical sources, singing voice for example, from stereophonic mixtures is provided. We usually have two observed signals in stereophonic music contents, where more than two instruments are played together. If we regard each instrument as source, this problem becomes an underdetermined source separation problem and cannot be solved by conventional methods, which infers the spatial environment of the downmixing process happens. Instead, source-specific information has been exploited to recover a particular instrumental source. This paper provides a unifying structure consists of heterogenious ad-hoc separate algorithms, which are designed for separating vocal sources using stereophonic channel information and dominant pitch information of the sources, respectively. Experiments on real world music contents show that the proposed unification can neutralize the drawbacks of the two ad-hoc separation algorithms and finally enhance the separation results.
