Generally the one of serious problems in Voice Activity Detection (VAD) is speech region detection in noise environment. Therefore, this paper propose the new method using energy, lsp varation. As a result of processing time and speech quality of the proposed algorithm, the processing time is reduced due to the accurate detection of inactive period, and there is almot no difference in the subjective quality test. As a result of bit rate, proposed algorithm measures the number of VAD=1 and the result shows predominant reduction of bit rate as SNR of noisy speech is low (about 5∼10 dB).

Recently, research using unstructured data such as images and videos has been actively conducted in various fields. Edge detection is one of the most useful image enhancement techniques to improve the quality of the image process. However, it is very difficult to perform edge detection in noise images because the edges and noise having high frequency components. This paper uses a linear model and standard deviation as an effective edge detection method for noise images. The edge is detected by the difference between the standard deviation of the pixels included in the pixel block and the standard deviation of the residual obtained by fitting the linear model. The results of edge detection are compared with the results of the Sobel edge detector. In the original image, the Sobel edge detection result and the proposed edge detection result are similar. Proposed method was confirmed that the edge with reduced noise was detected in the various levels of noise images.

This paper proposes noise reduction methods to improve the channel estimation performance in Equalization On-Channel Repeater (E-OCR) for Terrestrial-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB) system. In the E-OCR for T-DMB system, the channel estimation is performed by the pilot signal extraction and the channel coefficient estimation. Since the performance of the channel estimation highly depends on the estimated channel coefficients whose accuracy is associated with the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), it is important to reduce noise existing at the estimated channel coefficients. To reduce such noise components, various noise reduction methods of the estimated channel coefficients based on the M -point weighted moving average are proposed. Computer simulations show that the proposed methods improve the estimation performance by more than 2 to 3 dB in terms of the symbol error rate after equalization.

In this paper, a novel circuit topology of a low-noise amplifier tunable at 1.8GHz band for PCS and 2.4GHz band for WLAN using a CMOS active inductor is proposed. This circuit topology to reduce higher noise figure of the low noise amplifier with the CMOS active load is analyzed. Furthermore, the noise canceling technique is adopted to reduce more the noise figure. The noise figure of the proposed circuit topology is analyzed and simulated in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process technology. Thus, the simulation results exhibit that the noise performance enhancement of the tunable low noise amplifier is about 3.4dB, which is mainly due to the proposed new circuit topology.

This paper proposes a method to improve the detectable distance by reducing noise to perform a signal processing technique on the received signals. To increase the radar detection range, the noise component of the received signal has to be reduced. The proposed method reduces the noise component by employing two methods. First, the radar signals received with multiple pulses are accumulated. As the number of additions increases, the noise component gradually decreases due to noise randomness. On the other hand, the signal term gradually increases and thus signal to noise ratio increases. Secondly, after converting the accumulated signal into the frequency spectrum, a Least Mean Square (LMS) filter is applied. In the case of the radar received signal, desired signal exists in a specific part and most of the rest is a noise. Therefore, if the LMS filter is applied in the time domain, the noise increases. To prevent this, the LMS filter is applied after converting the received signal into the entire frequency spectrum. The LMS filter output is then transformed into the time domain and then range estimation algorithm is performed. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme reduces the noise component by about 25 dB. The experiment was conducted by comparing the proposed results with the conventional results of the radars held by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute for the international space station.

The performance of communication systems should be tested against a set of requirements. To this end, noise generation systems are used to generate noise signals with specified characteristics. In recent study, noise generation system using DCT outperforms the conventional noise generation system when a noise model requires complicated PSD(Power Spectral Density) specifications. In this paper low area/power structures of non-DCT block in DCT-based noise generation system are proposed. Simulation results show that the low area structure results in area reduction by 61-64% and the low power structure achieves power reduction by 88-89% except DCT blocks.

본 논문에서는 음성 인식기의 성능을 저하시키는 요인중 부가 잡음과 마이크의 변동에 의한 채널 왜곡을 동시에 감소시키는 방법으로 기존의 전처리에 의한 환경덥음처리기법의 단점을 개선한 Histogram 처리기법을 잡음처리에 도입하고 그 유효성을 확인하였다. 도입한 잡음처리기법의 유효성을 확인하기 위하여 기존의 잡음처리기법으로 잘 알려진 여러 가지 방법과 비교하기 위하여 단어 인식실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과, 부가잡음만이 첨가된 경우에 있어서는 일반적으로 알려진 SS, CMN, RASTA등을 이용한 결과 전처리방법을 이용하지 않은 경우의 기본인식률에 비해 SN비에 따라 25% 이상이 인식률 향상을 볼 수 있었다. 특히 CDCN 처리와 H-RASTA를 사용한 경우, 채널왜곡과 부가잡음이 함께 포함된 음성에 대해 SN비에 관계없이 약 15~30%정도의 인식률의 향상을 볼 수 있어 기존 방법으로서는 이글 방법이 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 위에 Histogram 에 의한 추정법을 적용한 경우 전처리의 성능을 10~15% 정도 성능향상을 가져와 도입한 방법의 유효성을 확인할 수 있었다.
