As the visual quality of X-ray images is a critical reference for the accuracy of the clinical diagnosis, the methods to improve the quality of X-ray images have been investigated. Among many existing methods, using frequency domain filter is a very powerful method to improve the visual quality of images. In this paper, the inherent noises of the input images are suppressed by adding the Laplacian image to the subjected image. The medical X-ray images using the optimal high pass filter has shown improved edges. Further, the optimal high frequency emphasis filter has shown the improved contrast of flat areas by using the result image from the optimal high pass filter. Also the resulting images of the global contrast have improved by the histogram equalization. As a result, the proposed methods have shown enhanced contrast and edges of the images with noise canceling effect.

This paper describes the design of band-pass filter using the dielectric resonator and microstrip line depends mainly upon the magnetic field and is principal parameter as band-pass filter. Because dielectric resonator band~pass filter has a very high-Q, the bandwidth of this filter is very narrow. as a result of experiment, the dielectric resonator bandwidth of this filter is very narrow. As a result of experiment, the dielectric resonator band-pase filter has various modes central frequencies due to the mode change and good characteristric as a band-pass filter.

In this paper, a band pass filter with a rejection band is proposed for UWB(Ultra Wide Band) communication system. First, low pass filter accessed cut off frequency of 10.2 GHz was designed using structure stepped impedance. And high pass filter accessed cut of frequency of 3.2 GHz was designed using parallel short-stub. There was implemented composite connection of designed low pass filter and high pass filter. The relative dielectric constant, the height, the loss tangent of the PCB substrate were ${\varepsilon}_r$=2.2, h=0.508 mm and loss tangent = 0.0009 respectively. The fabricated band pass filter shows a compact size of 3 cm. The fabricated band pass filter was characterized using 37169A VNA(Vector Network Analyzer). And measured result were obtained 7.5 GHz of bandwidth and -10 dB of return loss and -3 dB of insertion loss from pass band. The result of the research can be used for the UWB communications and MIC/MMIC, RFIC system.

This paper presents an evolutionary design of digital IIR filters using the genetic algorithm (GA) with modified genetic operators and real-valued encoding. Conventional digital IIR filter design methods involve algebraic transformations of the transfer function of an analog low-pass filter (LPF) that satisfies prescribed filter specifications. Other types of frequency-selective digital fillers as high-pass (HPF), band-pass (BPF), and band-stop (BSF) filters are obtained by appropriate transformations of a prototype low-pass filter. In the GA-based digital IIR filter design scheme, filter coefficients are represented as a set of real-valued genes in a chromosome. Each chromosome represents the structure and weights of an individual filter. GA directly finds the coefficients of the desired filter transfer function through genetic search fur given filter specifications of minimum filter order. Crossover and mutation operators are selected to ensure the stability of resulting IIR filters. Other types of filters can be found independently from the filter specifications, not from algebraic transformations.

A new type low-pass filter design method based on a coupled line and transmission line theory is proposed to suppress harmonics by attenuation poles in the stop band The design formula are derived using the equivalent circuit of a coupled transmission line. The new low-pass filter structure is shown to have attractive properties such as compact size, wide stop band range and low insertion loss. The seventh-order low-pass filter designed by present method Ins a cutoff frequency of 0.9 GHz with a 0.01 dB ripple level. The coupled line type low-pass filter with stripline configuration was fabricated by using a high-temperature superconducting (HTS ; $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$) thin film on MgO(100) substrate. Since the HTS coupled line type low-pass filter was proposed with five attenuation poles in stop band such as 1.8, 2.5, 4, 5.5, 62 GHz. The fabricated low-pass filter has improved the attenuation characteristics up to seven times of the cutoff frequency Bemuse of good rejection of the spurious signals and harmonics, our low-pass filter is applicable to mobile base station systems such as cellular, personal communication systems and international mobile telecommunication(IMT)-2000 systems.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive histogram projection technique for dynamic range compression and an efficient detail enhancement method which is enhancing strong edge while reducing noise. First, The high dynamic range image is divided into low-pass component and high-pass component by applying 'guided image filtering'. After applying 'guided filter' to high dynamic range image, second, the low-pass component of the image is compressed into 8-bit with the adaptive histogram projection technique which is using global standard deviation value of whole image. Third, the high-pass component of the image adaptively reduces noise and intensifies the strong edges using standard deviation value in local path of the guided filter. Lastly, the monitor display image is summed up with the compressed low-pass component and the edge-intensified high-pass component. At the end of this paper, the experimental result show that the suggested technique can be applied properly to the IR images of various scenes.

It is confirmed that current waveforms and 3$\Phi$ power waveforms can be improved by utilizing the high order low pass LC filter than that of lower order through computer simulation. Also, we propose the low pass LC filter revised from the conventional LC filter.

We propose and design a new type of anrrow band-pass optical filter based on two fiber gratings with different reflection wavelength. The ripples occur in the spectra of the filter with two uniform fiber gratings. Our simulation results also show that the ripples disappear with the fiber gratings apodized to both gaussian and hyperbolic tangent function. The hyperbolic tangent function seems to be a better apodization function for improving the filter's performance in terms of narrow pass bandwidth and high transmission.

A novel design method of ultra wideband bandpass filter using CRLH transmission line with Dumbell type DGS is presented in this paper. Defected Ground Structure and microstrip interdigital capacitor are used to design the ultra wideband (UWB) filter. CRLH transmission line has composite characteristics of low pass and high pass filter. As control of cutoff frequency of low pass and high pass response on CRLH transmission line, we can get characteristic of UWB filter. We designed and simulated for CRLH transmission lines with one, two, four, and eight cells. A UWB filter using four cells CRLH is designed and fabricated to verify the results. The characteristics of designed filter have center frequency of 5GHz and relative bandwidth of 88%.
