A Chebyshev filter is well known for having a sharp skirt characteristic and equi-ripple. On the other hand, a Butterworth filter has a smooth skirt characteristic and maximally flat ripple. This paper analyzes the skirt characteristics of the filters with the cascade connection. The paper deals with the Chebyshev BPF, Cascading Chebyshev BPF, Butterworth BPF, Cascading Butterworth*Chebyshev BPF. First of all, the paper designs the prototype analog LPF in order to analyze skirt characteristics of the BPFs. Then the paper does the frequency transformation into the BPFs and tests the BPFs with cascading them. As a result, the skirt characteristics of the Chebyshev BPF was the sharpest and those of the Cascading Chebyshev BPF, Butterworth BPF, Cascading Butterworth*Chebyshev BPF was superior in order. The validity of the paper was confirmed through minute measurements of test results.

This paper is a study on the performance of the stable cascading BPF. There are generally two methods of designing IIR filter, which are a direct method and an indirect one. The indirect design method that is transformed into the BPF by frequency transformation using the prototype analog LPF which is satisfied for designing specifications is applied to this study. As typical prototype analog LPFs, there are the Butterworth filter, the Chebyshev filter and the elliptic filter. In this study, we connect the frequency transformed BPFs (to the cascade form) which have been converted from the stable Butterworth filter and Chebyshev filter. Three classified simulations are conducted in this study, which are the cascading Butterworth BPF Only, the cascading Chebyshev BPF Only and the cascading Butterworth and Chebyshev BPFs. As a result of the simulation, this study shows that a ripple size of the cascading Chebyshev BPF Only is about 1[dB] smaller than that of the cascading Butterworth and Chebyshev BPFs and also the skirt characteristic of the cascading Chebyshev BPF in the transition band is most outstanding and has the widest bandwidth. The result of performance comparison shows the validity of specifications required in the workplace.

This paper represents design broadband impedance matching circuit for Coupler to improve power transfer efficiency in the broadband power line communication(BPLC) systems. The Butterworth gain function equalizer is used to design broadband matching circuit. A practical PLC Coupler impedance matching circuit is designed, and the characteristics for S11 and S21 of PLC Coupler are enhanced comparing with unmatched one. This is done by maximizing the power transfer gain from modem to the load.

This paper describes an implementation of 4$^{th}$ order single-loop Butterworth noise shaper for a 16-bit $\Delta$$\Sigma$ DAC with the viewpoint of minimum hardware overhead. we adopt simple bit-shifting scheme and ROM selection technique for the multiplication, and propose a new buffer-and-routing method for the ROM circuits. The behavioral level and timing simulations reveal that our proposal is valid for the target specificationrget specificationn

Vehicle acceleration data from an accelerometer and wheel speed data from standard, 50-tooth antilock braking system wheel speed sensors are used to estimate the absolute longitudinal speed of a vehicle. We develop the four velocity estimation algorithms. And we compare experimental results with the Butterworth filtered speed from the fifth wheel and find that it is possible to estimate absolute longitudinal vehicle speed during a hard braking maneuver lasting three seconds.

This study is focusing on ripple elimination in the band pass filter. There are generally two design methods in IIR filter design, which are a direct method and an indirect one. The indirect design method that designs the digital IIR LPF using the prototype analog LPF is applied to this study. A Butterworth filter and a Chebyshev filter are the typical prototype analog LPFs. This study shows characteristics of the digital IIR LPFs that are transformed from the prototype analog LPFs. The designed Butterworth and Chebyshev IIR LPFs are also designed as the band pass filters by frequency transformation in order to compare with the proposed cascading Chebyshev BPFs. This study shows frequency characteristics between the transformed IIR BPFs and the proposed cascading Chebyshev BPFs as well. The proposed cascading Chebyshev BPF is designed by cascading the different orders of Chebyshev BPFs. The aspect of the cascading filter is offsetting the ripples to descend them while the pass band ripples of the Chebyshev filter are ascending and vice versa. The designed cascading Chebyshev filter shows the flatness and the sharpness, which represent the advantages of Butterworth filter in the pass band and of Chebyshev filter in the transition band respectively. This result verifies the validity of the designed filter.

The power spectral density of a signal can be estimated most accurately by using a window with a narrow bandwidth and large sidelobe attenuation. Conventional windows generally control these characteristics by only one parameter, so there is a trade-off problem: if the bandwidth is reduced, the sidelobe attenuation is also reduced. To overcome this problem, we propose using a Butterworth window with two control parameters for power spectral density estimation and analyze its characteristics. Simulation results demonstrate that the sidelobe attenuation and the 3 dB bandwidth can be controlled independently. Thus, the trade-off problem between resolution and spectral leakage in the estimated power spectral density can be overcome.

STATCOM(static synchronous compensator : one of the custom power equipment) can be used for balancing unbalanced loads. Compensation current references are given by the analysis of the unbalanced 3-phase currents. And for detecting negative-sequence components, a digital Butterworth Filter is designed. Finally a negative sequence component of an unbalanced load current is acquired using the digital Butterworth Filter.

치료 후 I-131 SPECT/CT는 잔류 갑상선 위치확인 및 전이유무를 판단하기 위하여 시행된다. 잔류 갑상선에 집적이 심한 경우 영상은 ringing artifact에 의하여 왜곡된다. 본 연구는 ringing artifact를 제거하고 영상의 질을 향상시키기 위한 적절한 post-filter의 적용에 대하여 제시하고자 한다. 본 실험은 hollow sphere와 아크릴통으로 구성된 phantom을 사용하여 SPECT/CT Discovery 670 (GE Healthcare, USA) 장비로 수행하였다. I-131용액을 hollow sphere에 184, 46, 9.2, 2.3 MBq/cc, 아크릴통에 46 kBq/cc을 각각 주입하였고 sphere 대 background의 비를 4000:1, 1000:1, 200:1, 50:1로 설정하였다. 데이터는 다음과 같은 조건으로 획득하였다(HEGP collimator 사용, Attenuation collection 적용, scan time 40 secs/frame, step angle 6도, scan mode non circular, evolution 적용과 미적용). 획득된 데이터는 OSEM (iteration 2, subset 10) 방식으로 재구성하였다. Post-filer의 사용에 따른 이미지의 변화를 보기 위해 3가지의 다른 post-filer들이 사용되었다(butterworth filter cut-off: 0.38, 0.43, 0.48, 0.53, 0.58, hanning filter cut-off: 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1, gaussian FWHM: 3, 3.4, 4, 4.5, 5). 각각의 데이터는 MRIcro를 사용하여 contrast ratio, background variability를 분석하였고 e.soft ROI tool을 사용하여 FWHM값을 구하였다. Evolution을 적용한 경우, 모든 결과에서 contrast ratio값이 높게 나타났다. Evolution을 적용하지 않은 경우 star artifact 등 왜곡이 발생하였고 영상의 질이 현저히 낮아짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 4000:1, 1000:1, 200:1의 경우, butterworth filter 사용 시 ringing artifact가 발생하였으며 cut-off값이 커질수록 artifact가 감소하였다. Hanning filter를 사용한 경우 ringing artifact는 발생하지 않았다. Contrast ratio와 FWHM값이 butterworth filter나 hanning filter 적용 시 우수하였다. Gaussian filter경우 contrast ratio와 FWHM값에서 저조한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 50:1의 경우, 모든 경우에서 ringing artifact가 발생하지 않았다. Butterworth filter를 적용한 경우 가장 높은 contrast ratio와 가장 우수한 FWHM값을 나타내었다. 본 논문을 통하여 I-131 SPECT에서 ringing artifact가 발생 할 경우(thyroid remnant를 포함) hanning filter를 사용하여 영상을 재구성하고, ringing artifact가 발생하지 않을(remnant thyroid를 포함하지 않음) 경우 butterworth filter를 사용하여 재구성하는 것이 바람직하다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.
