파장변환 소자는 최근에 급격히 발전하는 광네트웍을 구축하기 위하여 필수적인 소자로서 여러 가지 형태에 대한 연구개발이 진행되고 있다. 그중에서도, 최근에는 반도체 광증폭기로 형성된 방향성 결합기구조(semiconductor optical amplifier directional coupler)에서의 상호 이득 포화(XPM : cross-phase modulation)에 의한 파장변환에 대한 개념이 제안되고 가능성이 실험적으로 입증된 바 있다. 이런 구조의 파장변환 소자는 입력 광신호의 파워가 작을때는 위상 정합이 되어 반도체 광증폭기의 광모드가 완전히 결합되어 cross state로 변환된 파장의 광파워가 많이 출력되고, 신호 입력 파워가 증가함에 따라 결합이 감소하게 되어 Cross state에서의 출력 파워는 감소하게 된다. 이와 같은 소자는 입력 신호광과 변환된 신호광이 역방향으로 진행하는 경우 광필터가 필요없이 파장변환이 가능하고, 변환 후의 소광비가 향상되기 때문에 향후 다양한 형태로 응용될 가능성이 있으며, 적정 설계 및 성능 예측을 위해서는 시영역에서 모델링할 수 있는 방법론을 구축하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 연산자 분리 방법$^{(1)}$ 을 적용하여 상술한 파장변환기를 해석하기에 적당하도록 시영역 동적 모델을 구현하고, 파장변환 특성을 여러 가지 면에서 분석하여 보았다.

It is very important that selection of packing media with large surface area, high limited back pressure in biofilter. The object of this study is the isolation of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and the removal of hydrogen sulfide in biofilter by media. This investigation led to the following results: 1) we isolated Thiobacillus sp. IW. at an abandoned coal mine in Hwasun, Jeonnam Province. 2) The inorganic media showed better results than the organic media from experiments looking at removal characteristics and changes in pressure drop using various media. 3) Among the inorganic media, fibril and PU media showed best performance.

Beamforming for underwater acoustic communication (UAC) is affected by the broadband feature of UAC signal, which has relatively low currier frequency as compared to the signal bandwidth. The narrow-band assumption does not hold good in UAC. In this paper, we discuss a broadband FIR beamformer for UAC using the baseband equivalent way signal model. We consider the broadband FIR beamformer for QPSK UAC with carrier frequency 25kHz and symbol rate 5kHz. Array geometry is a uniform linear way with 8 omni-directional elements and sensor spacing is the half of the carrier wavelength. The simulation results show that the broadband n beamformer achieves nearly optimum signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) and outperforms the conventional narrowband beamformer by SINR 0.5dB when two-tap FIR filter is employed at each sensor and the inter-tap delay is a quarter of the symbol interval. The broadband FIR beamformer performance is more degraded as the FIR filter length is increased above a certain value. If the inter-tap delay is not greater than half of the symbol period, SINR performance does not depend on the inter-tap delay. More training period is required when the inter-tap delay is same as the symbol period.

The implementation and design of the wideband IFIU using aperture open loop resonator and reversed phase technique to reduce the local oscillator leakage signal was represented in this paper. The local oscillator leakage signal is generated in stage of frequency conversion, especially in frequency conversion of fully digital modulation signal close to DC signal. The leakage signal and spurious signals, which have effects on adjacent channel or in-band channel as interference signals, were reduced below -60 dBc for 45 Mbps and 155 Mbps IF interface units. The group delay for both IFIUs shows low ripple characteristics of 15 ns and 8 ns, respectively. Also, the amplitude ripple characteristic in 150 MHz bandwidth with L-band center frequency satisfies the required specification of 2 dB. The implemented IFIU provides the required specifications for wideband satellite communication system.

The 8-VSB modulation, the transmission standard for the terrestrial digital television(DTV) of the Advanced Television Systems Committee(ATSC), suffers from multipath fading because it conveys information on the amplitude. To solve this problem, decision feedback equalizers(DFE's) have been commonly used in terrestrial DTV receivers. However, under severe channels, such as a 0 dB ghost channel or a single frequency network (SFN) channel, the DFE shows unstable convergence due to the error propagation caused by decision errors. Instead of unstable time-domain DFE schemes, by proposing a frequency-domain direct-inversion equalization method, we try to guarantee stable equalization and achieve low symbol error rates. To secure the existence of a channel inverse, channel-matched filtering and noncausal filtering are carried out prior to equalization. Simulation results show that the proposed method performs much better than existing DFE schemes in terms of both the stability and the symbol error rate.

This paper proposes a new method for fast graphic visualization of accurate frequency response of audio equalizer (EQ). When a logarithmic frequency scale is used, a frequency response in high resolution is required for accurate low-band frequency response. However, the high-resolution frequency response requires a huge amount of computational load, which makes the real-time graphic visualization of frequency response impossible. In order to solve the problem of computational load, the proposed method utilizes a low-resolution virtual frequency response in the mid band. It first computes the virtual frequency response of each filter of EQ in the mid band, and then moves it to the target band so that the result corresponds to the desired filter response. Then, it determines the final frequency response of EQ by combining all filter responses. The experiments confirm that the proposed method provides the frequency response of EQ which has an equivalent shape to that computed in high frequency resolution with huge computational load.

In this paper a novel method improving the accuracy of DTMF tone reception in ARS system is proposed. ARS system should allow users to generate DTMF signals while it is sending voice guidance. It is not unocmmon, in this case, that a portion of transmitting voice signals cross-talks to the receiving channel and it often results in interfering with the receiving DTMF signals. Serious degradations including DTMF tone missing, false alarm and so forth have been introduced for the above reason. To overcome this phenomena, we have proposed a way eliminating the frequency spectra representing DTMF signals bands from the transmitting voice signal by using notch filters. This method also employs bandpass filters of which the frequency responses are reciprocal to those of the notch filters incorporated with the DTMF receiver. It is shown that a drastic improvement has been achieved with respect to the DTMF tone detection with little deterioration of voice guidance quality.
