The spectrum sensing is important for decision of using frequency band. It checks the frequency band for cognitive radio system. In this paper, we apply autocorrelation function to the energy detection method. We use the autocorrelation function to improve the performance of spectrum sensing method based on the energy detection method. This method is different from cyclostationary process method where parameters such as the mean or the autocorrelation function are time-varying periodically. And we propose improved method that is robust in poor radio environment. If the proposed method applies for sensing in the cognitive radio system, it will have the structural simplicity and the fast computation of spectrum sensing.

An ion energy spectrometer which has the $45^{\circ}$ parallel electrostatic deflection plate was designed and constructed for measuring ion temperature in high temperature plasma. The energy calibration and the energy resolution were studied in detail for a hydrogen ion at the $0.24{\sim}1.92\;keV$ energy using electrostatic accelerator with a duoplasmatron ion source. The voltage of the deflection plate was linearly increased for the decreased ion detector position at the constant ion energy and decreased for the increased ion energy at the fixed ion detector position. The inclination of the deflection plate voltage to the ion energy was between 0.92 and 1.61, and linearly decreased for the increased the ion detector position. The measured energy resolution, which is $4.2%\;{\sim}\;11.6%$ in this experiment region, was improved for the increased ion dector position and ion energy. The relative efficiency was increased for the decreased the ion detector position. The ion energy spectrum of the DC plasma in the multi-purpose plasma generator was measured using this equipment. The ion temperature was 203-205 eV at the discharge voltage 320 V, discharge current 1.7 A.

In this paper, we extracted the contour of lung parenchyma on EBT images with the improved active contour model. The objects boundary in conventional active contour model can be extracted by controlling internal energy and external energy as energy minimizing form. However, there are a number of problems such as initialization and the poor convergence about concave part. Expecially, contour can not enter the concave region by discouraging characteristic about stretching and bending in internal energy. We controlled internal energy by moving local perpendicular bisector point of each control point in the contour and implemented the object boundary by minimizing energy with external energy The convergence of concave part could be efficiently implemented toward lung parenchyma region by this internal energy and both lung images for initial contour could also be detected by multi-detection method. We were sure this method could be applied detection of lung parenchyma region in medical image.

Cognitive radio is one of the most effective techniques to improve the spectrum utilization efficiency. To implement the cognitive radio, spectrum sensing is considered as the key functionality because only counting on it, can the secondary users identify the spectrum holes and utilize them efficiently without causing interference to primary users. Generally, there are several spectrum sensing methods; the most common and simplest method is energy detection. However, the conventional energy detection has some disadvantages, which are caused by noise, especially, uncertain noise power leads to degradation of energy detector. In this paper, to solve this problem, we proposed sliding window-based energy detection method which can devide the frequency band of primary signal and noise using sliding window to estimate the power of primary user without the noise effect and achieve the better performance. It can calculate the energy of primary user only and can detect the primary signal. The simulation result shows that our proposed method outperforms conventional one.

The calibration method for the detection efficiency of solid state track detector to alpha is presented, and the detection efficiency of CN-85 and LEXAN to alpha is measured by this method. The results are 97% and 57% in CN-85 and LEXAN, respectively. The reason for a better result in CN-85 in not only the high sensitivity but also the low energy dependency with comparing for LEXAN. The peak detection efficiency is 3MeV and 1.8MeV in CN-85 and LEXAN, respectively.

본 논문은 웨이블릿 변환영역 하에서 칼라 히스토그램과 에너지 벡터를 이용한 컷검출 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 컷 검출 방법들은 대부분 공간영역과 변환영역 각각에 대한 특징을 이용해 컷을 검출하였다. 그러나 본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 변환영역 하에서도 공간영역 특성을 유지하는 LL밴드 상의 칼라 히스토그램과 LH와 HL밴드의 에너지 값을 변환영역 특성으로 함께 고려하였다. 최근 영상 압축 표준에 웨이블릿을 이용한 압축기법이 사용되고 있으므로, 제안한 방법은 웨이블릿 압축 영상에서 압축을 해제할 필요 없이 검출하는데 사용되어질 수 있다. 제안한 방법의 성능평가를 위하여 광고, 뉴스, 스포츠, 영화 등 5개 분야의 다양한 TV 프로그램에서 약 10,000개의 프레임으로 실험한 결과, Recall에서는 약 90%, Precision에서는 약 94%의 컷 검출 성능을 나타내었다.

Electronic warfare systems for extracting information of the threat signals can be employed under the circumstance where the power of the received signal is weak. To precisely and rapidly detect the threat signals, it is required to use methods exploiting whole energy of the received signals instead of conventional methods using a single received signal input. To utilize the whole energy, numerous sizes of windows need to be implemented in a detector for dealing with all possible unknown length of the received signal because it is assumed that there is no preliminary information of the uncooperative signals. However, this grid search method requires too large computational complexity to be practically implemented. In order to resolve this complexity problem, an approach that reduces the number of windows by selecting the smaller number of representative windows can be considered. However, each representative window in this approach needs to cover a certain amount of interval divided from the considering range. Consequently, the discordance between the length of the received signal and the window sizes results in degradation of the detection performance. Therefore, we propose the weighted energy detector which results in improved detection performance comparing with the conventional energy detector under circumstance where the window size is smaller than the length of the received signal. In addition, it is shown that the proposed method exhibits the same performance under other circumstances.

An RF energy detector for spectrum sensing in TV white space transceiver is presented. It is based on an RF active filtering technique that comprises a low-noise amplifier with a frequency-translation high-pass filtering feedfoward loop, which attenuates the unwanted sideband energy and only passes the wanted band energy. Unlike the conventional architecture, a new architecture that can attenuate both sidebands at the same time is proposed. A simplified system modeling method is presented to assess the non-ideality effects on the RF energy detector performances. System behavioral simulations demonstrate that the proposed architecture can be instrumental for realizaing a RF energy detector circuit in CMOS.

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, we propose a novel structure where the energy detector has multiples of verification using time delay in order to improve its performance. Additionally, the performance is investigated by simulation and compared to that of the original energy detector. The simulation result shows that the proposed scheme improves the performance when SNR is compared with the mis-detection probability for both 1% and 10% of false alarm probability. The performance is also described in terms of ROC.
