본 논문에서는 chirp 신호를 초음파 신호처리 시스템에 입력시킬 때 반사신호의 진폭을 최대로 얻기위한 chirp 신호의 대역폭을 결정하는 방법을 연구하였다. 초음파 신호처리 시스템에서 반사신호의 S/N 비는 초음파의 전파시에 발생하는 감쇠와 산란에 의하여 매우 낮게된다. Chirp 신호를 사용한 펄스 압축기술은 초음파 반사시스템의 S/N 비를 증가시킬 수 있는 방법중 하나이다. 시뮬레이션 및 실험결과, chirp 신호의 펄스폭이 넓을수록 출력이 증가하였고 동일한 펄스폭과 주어진 초음파시스템의 대역폭에 대한 최대출력은 chirp 신호의 대역폭이 초음파시스템의 대역폭 보다 1.15배 클 때 얻어짐을 확인하였다.

This paper describes a Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulator and demodulator and the experimented underwater data ommunication equipment to transfer the analog echo signal in real-time from an underwater vehicle to the mother ship. The system consists of an echo signal transfer unit equipped to the vehicle and an ultrasonic receiver equipped on the ship. The former includes an ultrasonic transceiver unit of 180kHz for echo detection and a continuous wave transmitter of 50kHz with a FSK modulator for echo transmission to the ship. The latter includes an ultrasonic receiver of 50kHz and the FSK demodulator. The results of experiment are as follows. 1. The characteristics of the FSK modulating and demodulating circuits designed with the use of C-MOS IC 4046 was good and confirmed its usefulness in underwater data communication system.2. The prototype ultrasonic transceiver unit shows profitable driving power while the pulse duration was short less than 3 msec, but it was found that the driving power is not sufficient while the long pulse duration or continuous wave is used. The gain of the ultrasonic receiver was 80 dB and the receiving bandwidth 700Hz (at - 3 dB point).3. It was found that the system designed by the author has some possibility to use in underwater echo transfer.4. At the FSK modulator, the widths of voltage and frequency which represent linearity were 3.5 V, 1600Hz, respectively, at the FSK demodulator 2.6 V, 700Hz, respectively.

Impact Echo method has been successful in detecting a variety of defects in concrete structure. This study has the objectives to show important aspects of applying the Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT) to signal processing of Modified Impact Echo(ModIE) Measurement systems and to the understanding of the seismic wave propagation. The data of ModIE were processed by DWT and compared with the results of conventional ModIE Analysis. Although it is inconsistent in the evaluated thickness of concrete lining, the DWT provides the features of separation, synthesis and de-noising in the original signal. The application of technique by wavelet was explained numerically with ABAQUS and performed experimentally with a real scale model in this work. Further works on the possible ways for creating new mother wavelet are specially needed for the enhancement of seismic signal analysis.

This paper presents the integrated speech enhancement system for hands-free mobile communication. The proposed integrated system incorporates both acoustic echo cancellation and engine noise reduction device to provide signal enhancement of desired speech signal from the echoed plus noisy environments. To implement the system, a delayless subband adaptive structure is used for acoustic echo cancellation operation. The NLMS based adaptive noise canceller then applied to the residual echo removed noisy signal to achieve the selective engine noise attenuation in dominant frequency component. Two sets of computer simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the system; one for the fixed acoustical environment condition, the other for the robustness of the system in which, more realistic situation, the acoustic transmission environment change. Simulation results confirm the system performance of 20-25dB ERLE in acoustic echo cancellation and 9-19 dB engine noise attenuation in dominant frequency component for both cases.

In this paper, we present a new echo kernel, which is a modification of polar echo kernel. to improve the detection performance and robustness against attacks. Polar echo kernel may take advantage of large detection margin from the polarity of inserted echo signal, but its poor frequency response in low frequency band degrades sound quality. To solve this problem, we applied bipolar echo pulses to the polar echo kernel. Using the proposed echo kernel the distributions of autocepstrum peaks fur data ‘0’ and ‘1’ are located more distant and improvement of detection performance is achieved. It also makes the low frequency band flat so that the timbre difference in the polar echo kernel can be removed to reproduce the imperceptible sound qualify. Informal listening tests as well as robustness test against attacks were performed to evaluate the proposed echo kernel. Experimental results demonstrated the superiority of the proposed echo kernel to both conventional unipolar and polar echo kernels

We have designed ramp profile excitation pulse based on the Shinnar-Le Roux (SLR) algorithm. The algorithm provides many advantages to pulse designers. The first advantage is the freedom of deciding the amplitudes, frequencies, and ripple sizes of stopband, passband, and transition band of pulse profile. The second advantage is the freedom of deciding the pulse phase, more specifically, minimum phase, linear phase, maximum phase, and any phase between them. The minimum phase pulse is the best choice in the case of 3D TOF, because it minimizes the echo time, which implies the best image quality in the same MR examination condition. In addition, the half echo technique is slightly modified in our case. In general, using the half echo technique means that the acquired data size is half and the rest part can be filled with complex conjugate of acquired data. But in our case, the echo center is just shifted to left, which implies the reduction of echo time, and the acquired data size is the same as the one without using the half echo technique. In this case, the increase of right part of data leads to improvement of the resolution and the decrease of left part of data leads to decrease of signal to noise ratio. Since in the case of 3D TOF, the signal to noise ratio is sufficiently high and the resolution is more important than signal to noise ratio, the proposed method appears to be significantly affective and gives rise to the improved high resolution angiograms.

Acoustic tiles are typically installed on the surface of pressure vessels in submarines to minimize echoes based on the ship's own noise and active sonar. In this study, we studied low frequency active echo reduction techniques to reduce underwater target echo signals. Active control algorithms using tile type projectors and FxLMS logic have been developed and the projectors have been installed in the assumed hull structure. The effectiveness of projectors and control algorithms has been evaluated in time and frequency domain analysis through experiments in the tank.

핸즈프리 마이크를 이용한 원격회의나 원격 통신 시스템과 같은 몇 가지의 응용분야에서, 음성 신호는 주위 잡음뿐만 아니라 마이크와 스피커사이의 결합에 의해 발생하는 에코에 의해서 왜곡되기 쉽다. 게다가 채널 왜곡이나 부가적인 잡음을 포함한 환경 잡음들은 원래의 입력 음성신호에 영향을 미치리라 고려된다. 본 논문에서는, 이러한 핸즈프리 음성에 있어서의 음성 인식률을 향상시키기 위해 에코 제거기와 최대 사후 추정(MAP)을 이용한 새로운 접근방식을 소개한다. 이 접근방식에서, 제안된 시스템이 에코를 포함한 주위 잡음 환경에서의 핸즈프리 음성인식에 효과적이라는 것을 보여준다 또한, 실험 결과는 에코 제거기와 MAP 환경적응 기술의 결합 시스템이 에코와 잡음 환경에 잘 적응하는 것을 보여준다.
