This study examines the wavelet transform for output-only system identification of ambient excited engineering structures with emphasis on its utilization for modal parameter estimation of high-order and closely-spaced modes. Sophisticated time-frequency resolution analysis has been carried out by employing the modified complex Morlet wavelet function for better adaption and flexibility of the time-frequency resolution to extract two closely-spaced frequencies. Furthermore, bandwidth refinement techniques such as a bandwidth resolution adaptation, a broadband filtering technique and a narrowband filtering one have been proposed in the study for the special treatments of high-order and closely-spaced modal parameter estimation. Ambient responses of a 5-story steel frame building have been used in the numerical example, using the proposed bandwidth refinement techniques, for estimating the modal parameters of the high-order and closely-spaced modes. The first five natural frequencies and damping ratios of the structure have been estimated; furthermore, the comparison among the various proposed bandwidth refinement techniques has also been examined.

In this paper, we present a novel and numerically efficient algorithm for high resolution TOA(Time Of Arrival) estimation under indoor radio propagation channels. The proposed algorithm is not dependent on the structure of receivers, i.e, it can be used with either coherent or non-coherent receivers. The TOA estimation algorithm is based on a high resolution frequency estimation algorithm of Minimum-norm. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm relies on numerical analysis techniques in computing signal or noise subspaces. The algorithm is based on the two step procedures, one for transforming input data to frequency domain data and the other for estimating the unknown TOA using the proposed efficient algorithm. The efficiency in number of operations over other algorithms is presented. The performance of the proposed algorithm is investigated by means of computer simulations.. Throughout the analytic and computer simulation results, we show that the proposed algorithm exhibits superior performance in estimating TOA estimation with limited computational cost.

계단 주파수 레이더는 송신 펄스의 주파수를 일정한 간격으로 증가시켜 넓은 합성 대역폭을 생성함으로써 고해상도 거리추정을 구현하는 방식이다. 그러나 이동표적의 경우에는 거리-도플러 결합 현상으로 인해 정확한 거리 추정이 어렵게 된다. 본 논문에서는 초기에 코히어런트 펄스열을 갖는 계단 주파수 레이더 파형을 이용하여 이동표적의 속도를 추정하고, 거리-도플러 결합 현상을 보상함으로써 얻어지는 고해상도 거리 추정 과정을 분석하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 이를 검증하였다.

In this paper, we propose a new high resolution frequency estimator for real sinusoids by using short time data and the AWLS/MFT (Adaptive Weighted Least Squares/ Modulation Function Technique) algorithm. Monte-Carlo simulations verify better performances of the proposed frequency estimator and demonstrate that the proposed AWLS sinusoidal estimator is a high resolution estimator.

In this paper, we propose a learning-based super-resolution algorithm. In the proposed algorithm, a multi-resolution wavelet approach is adopted to perform the synthesis of local high-frequency features. To obtain a high-resolution image, wavelet coefficients of two dominant LH- and HL-bands are estimated based on wavelet frames. In order to prepare more efficient training sets, the proposed algorithm utilizes the LH-band and transposed HL-band. The training sets are then used for the estimation of wavelet coefficients for both LH- and HL-bands. Using the estimated high frequency bands, a high resolution image is reconstructed via the wavelet transform. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can synthesize high-quality images.

Recently, as Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and self-driving system become influential in the ground transportation system, automotive radar systems have been actively studied among the various radar systems to implement the vehicle collision detection system and distance measurement system between vehicles. Most of the automotive radars are Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar type which can calculate distance and velocity of target by estimating the frequency difference between the transmitted signal and received signal. Therefore, accurate frequency estimation is very important in the FMCW radar system. For this reason, to improve the measurement accuracy of the FMCW radar, Reverse Directional FRI (RD-FRI) Super-Resolution technique which has high frequency estimation accuracy is applied to the FMCW radar system. The feasibility of the proposed technique is evaluated with simulation results and compared with FFT and conventional Super-Resolution techniques. The simulation results show that the proposed technique estimates the frequency with high accuracy and the distance with centimeter accuracy.

계단 주파수 레이더(Stepped Frequency Radar: SFR)는 송신 펄스의 주파수를 점진적으로 증가시켜 넓은 합성 대역폭을 만듦으로써 높은 거리 해상도를 얻는 방식이다. 그런데 이동표적의 경우 거리-도플러 결합(range-Doppler coupling) 현상으로 정확한 거리 추정을 할 수 없게 되므로 정확한 속도 추정을 통한 보상이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 코히어런트 펄스열(Coherent Pulse Train: CPT)을 갖는 계단 주파수 레이더 파형을 제안하고, 이를 이용한 속도 추정 및 파라미터에 따른 결과를 기존의 VMD(Velocity Measurement Data) 방식과 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교하고 분석하였다.

We consider the problem of low-sampling rate high-resolution channel estimation and timing for digital ultrawideband (UWB) receivers. We extend some of our recent results in sampling of certain classes of parametric non-bandlimited signals and develop a frequency domain method for channel estimation and synchronization in ultra-wideband systems, which uses sub-Nyquist uniform sampling and well-studied computational procedures. In particular, the proposed method can be used for identification of more realistic channel models, where different propagation paths undergo different frequency-selective fading. Moreover, we show that it is possible to obtain high-resolution estimates of all relevant channel parameters by sampling a received signal below the traditional Nyquist rate. Our approach leads to faster acquisition compared to current digital solutions, allows for slower A/D converters, and potentially reduces power consumption of digital UWB receivers significantly.

차량용 레이더 시스템에 대한 수요가 증가함에 따라서, 상호 간섭 문제는 차량 안전을 보장하기 위해 해결해야 할 결정적인 이슈가 되었다. Frequency modulated continuous wave(FMCW) 레이더의 상호 간섭은 잡음 전력 증가의 형태로 나타나며, 이는 간섭체로 인한 타겟 검출의 실패로 이어진다. 기존의 FMCW 레이더의 주파수 추정을 위하여 사용되는 fast Fourier transform (FFT) 기법은 차량용 레이더 간섭 환경에서는 취약하다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 간섭환경에서 사용하기 위한 고해상도 주파수 추정 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능을 입증하기 위하여, 77GHz 전방 감시용FMCW 레이더 시스템을 도입하였다. 제안된 기법은 간섭환경에서도 정확하게 주파수를 추정할 수 있는 multiple signal classification, estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques과 같은 고해상도 알고리즘을 이용한다. 실험결과로부터 제안된 알고리즘이 기존의 FFT 알고리즘에 비해 신호 대 간섭비 측면에서 14 dB 이상의 마진을 가짐을 확인하였다.

High temporal-resolution and accurate measurement of skin impedance locus provides useful data for the identification of the physiological/psychological changes and also the identification of acupuncture point. An impedance spectroscopy method using digitally constructed current waveform consisting of many frequency components (multiples of 1Hz) was reported3. The time resolution of the method depends on the lowest frequency used in the waveform construction, and therefore, the measurement would be faster if the lowest frequency is the higher. However, it was not clear that how many and how low frequencies must be used for the estimation of the skin impedance parameters from which the impedance locus can be drawn. This study shows the relationship between the estimation error of the impedance parameters and the frequency coverage of the spectroscopy. The results of this study are expected to serve as the reference of the frequency selection in the impedance spectroscopy.
