EOC (Electro-Optical Camera) of KOMPSAT-1 (Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite) has been producing land imageries of the world since January 2000. After image data are acquired by EOC, they are transmitted from satellite to ground via X-band RF signal. Then, EOC image data are retrieved and pass through radiometric and geometric corrections to generate standard products of EOC images. After radiometric correction on EOC image data, Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) compensation is applicable on EOC images with user's request for better image quality. MTF compensation is concerned with filtering EOC images to minimize the effect of degradations. For Image Receiving and Processing System (IRPE) at KOMPSAT Ground Station (KGS), Wiener filter is used for MTF compensation of EOC images. If the Pointing Spread Function (PSF) of EOC system is known, signal-to-noise (SNR) power spectra ratio is the only variable which determines the shape of Wiener filter In this paper, MTF compensation in IRPE at KGS is briefly addressed, and MTF compensated EOC images are generated using Wiener filters with various SNR power spectra ratios. MTF compensated EOC images are compared with original EOC 1R images to observe correlations between them. As a result, the effect of SNR power spectra ratio on MTF compensated EOC images is shown.

We demonstrate the transmission of uncompressed 4K videos over the photonics-based terahertz (THz) wireless link using a directly modulated distributed feedback laser diode (DFB-LD). For optical heterodyne mixing and data modulation, a DFB-LD was employed and directly modulated with a 5.94-Gb/s non-return-to-zero signal, which is related to a 6G-serial digital interface standard to support ultra-high-definition video resolution. We derived the optimal frequency of the THz carrier by varying the wavelength difference between DFB-LD output and Tunable LD output in the THz signal transmitter to obtain the best transmission performances of the uncompressed 4K video signals. Furthermore, we exploited the negative laser-to-filter detuning for the adiabatic chirp management of the DFB-LD by the intentional discrepancy between the center wavelength of the optical band-pass filter and the output wavelength of the DFB-LD. With the help of the abovementioned methods, we successfully transmitted uncompressed 4K video signals over the 2.3-m wireless transmission distance without black frames induced by time synchronization error.

The use of digital filters in the signal process field is increasing rapidly with development of the modern industrial society. Especially, detail processors, Y/C separators, ghost removing filters, standard converters (NTSC to PAL or PAL to NTSC) and noise reducers, all of which use digital filters, tend to be used in digital video and audio processing, CATV and various communication fields. Generally, there are two different digital filters, the Rf (infinite impulse response) filter and the FIR (finite impulse response) filter in digital filter. In this paper, we have designed FIR filter which has the phase linearity and the easiness of creation. In the design of the FIR digital filter, the window function is used to alleviate the ripples caused by Gibbs Phenomenon around the cut off frequency of the band pass. But there're some problems to choose proper window function for the design destination due to its fixed values. Therefore, in this paper, we designed a modified Hanning window with new parameter which is adaptively chosen corresponding to design objectives. The digital filter was simulated to prove the validity of the model and it was compared with the Hamming, the Manning, the Blacknan and the Kaiser window function. And we have used peak side-lobe and transient characteristics as standard of judgement.

A novel alignment-free micro-optic MZI filter has been demonstrated. The filter is composed of two fiber-pigtailed collimators and a beam-splittingplate with a periodically etched stripe pattern. We fabricated the plate through a standard lithographic formulation process by using a pyrex substrate glass with SU-8 resist coating on its one of the surfaces. The maximum insertion loss of the implemented filter was less than 2 dB over 1000 nm to 1600 nm and the extinction ratio was larger than 33 dB. The measured PDL within the 3-dB pass band of the filter was less than 0.15dB and the maximum extinction ratio variation was less than 2 dB even when the worst alignment error occured.

A low-voltage, low-power analog front-end IC for neural recording implant devices is presented. The proposed IC consists of a low-noise neural amplifier and a programmable active bandpass filter to process neural signals residing in the band of 1 Hz to 5 kHz. The neural amplifier is based on a source-degenerated folded-cascode operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) for good noise performance while the following bandpass filter utilizes a low-power current-mirror based OTA with programmable high-pass cutoff frequencies from 1 Hz to 300 Hz and low-pass cutoff frequencies from 300 Hz to 8 kHz. The total recording analog front-end provides 53.1 dB of voltage gain, $4.68{\mu}Vrms$ of integrated input referred noise within 1 Hz to 10 kHz, and noise efficiency factor of 3.67. The IC is designed using $18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process and consumes a total of $3.2{\mu}W$ at 1-V supply voltage. The layout area of the IC is $0.19 mm^2$.

In this paper, A duplexer module with temperature-insensitive electrical characteristics was proposed for remote wireless communication system. Duplexer modules are required to have performances of low insertion loss, high isolation between transmitted band and received band, harmonic suppression as well as high power durability in the system for transmitting guided information to missile flying a free space on the ground. The proposed duplexer module are consist of transmission bandpass filter and receiving bandpass filter which are connected to common antenna port, planar coupler for output power monitoring and low pass filter for harmonic attenuation of power amplifier and coaxial cavity resonator. The material and dimensions of the resonator are determined for minimum frequency shift by temperature variation using 3D EM simulation. The measured results of the prototype showed a good agreement with the simulation results, and it should be well applied not only for guided weapon systems but also for any other communication systems such as remote radio head.

In this paper, we propose the methods not only to eliminate ELF(Extremely Low Frequency) EMI(Electro-Magnetic Interference) noice for extending recognition distance, but also to utilize the the PLN for detecting starting instance of a hand gesture using electric potential sensor. First, we measure strength of electric field generated in the smart devices such as TV and phone, and minimize EMI through efficient arrangement of the sensors. Meanwhile, we utilize the 60 Hz PLN to extract the starting point of hand gesture. Thereafter, we eliminate the PLN generated in the smart device and circuit of sensors. And then, we shield the sensors from an electric noise generated from devices. Finally, through analyzing the frequency components according to the gesture of target, we use the low pass filter and the Kalman filter for elimination of remaining electric noise. We analyze and evaluate the proposed ELF-band EMI eliminating method for non-contact remote sensing of the EPS(Electric Potential Sensor). Combined with a detecting technique of gesture starting point, the recognition distance for gestures has been proven to be extended to more than 3m, which is critical for real application.

We have demonstrated a fiber short-wavelength filter with a good cut-off property using dissimilar dispersive properties between? a thermally expanded cored fiber and an external medium. Side-polishing is applied to coupling between the fiber and the external medium. The experimental results revealed that the bend edge wavelength can be adjusted by controlling the degree of core expansion. Futhermore, the sharpness of wavelength response? was significantly? improved by employing expanded core fiber instead of a conventional single mode fiber. Tuning range of the band edge wavelength exceeded 400 m based on thermo-optic effect of the external medium.

In this paper, we present the design procedure of BPF(Band Pass Filter) for the suppression of LO(Local Oscillator) harmonics. The required suppression at given harmonics is the key issues in such a filter design, while the bandwidth and the suppression of the unwanted signals are more important in the conventional RF filter design. In LO filter design the bandwidth is used for the minimization of the insertion loss for the desired signal. In addition, we propose the novel tuning procedure based on Momentum to consider the unknown parasitic effects, which usually are not included in the circuit design step and results in undesirable and frustrating tuning after fabrication.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Task-oriented training on the balance, lapse time and MVC(Maximum Voluntary Contraction) of CVA(cerebral vascular accident) patients. The active balance equipment was used to measure of the static balance, lapse time and task-oriented training. The EMG technique was used to record muscle activitie of affected side of gluteus medius and vastus medialis. The raw EMG data were filtered with band pass filter (60Hz) to remove artifacts and then low pass filtered (20Hz) to find the linear envelope which resemble muscle tension curve. The experiment had been conducted at the department of physical therapy in J hospital in M city during 8weeks. The thirty patients experienced the stroke were participated: training group (15), control group (15). They were ambulatory with or without an assistive device. They were assessed on central perturbation(mm) in the static balance, lapse time(s) and MVC test(mV). The data were analyzed using repeated measured ANOVA. The results were as follows: After Task-oriented training, central perturbation and lapse time was significantly differences in both groups(p<.001), and MVC in gluteus medius were no significant differences in both groups, but vastus medialis was significant differences in both groups (p<.001).
