In this paper, Polarity Thresholding(PT) algorithm has been studied to enhance the received signal in ultrasonic inspection of the stainless-steel(SUS 304) which is the primary piping material of a nuclear power plant. The spectral decomposition components obtained by splitting the spectrum of received signals are composed of dispersive signal of the interference pattern produced by the grain boundaries and nondispersive signal by the flaw. PT algorithm enhance the SNR of received signal by using above properties. In experiment the stainless-steel has been chosen as the sample and heat-treated at 1125, 1150, 1175, and $1200^\circ{C}$, respectively. And the flat-bottom hole type defects have been made artificially in samples. The pulse-echo signals from the sample by using ultrasonic transducer of center frequency 5 MHz have been processed by PT algorithm. It has been shown that PT algorithm enhanced the SNR by average 14.2 dB.

As Power Line has been already installed over 60% of a residential area all over the world, Broadband Service has been possible using high-speed PLC(Power Line Communication) without new access line installed for Internet access. Because of such reason, PLC is researched as the most suitable service for Last Mile Solution. But, Power Line is designed for transmitting electric power, so peripheral Wireless Communication System is affected by a leak of electric wave. In this paper, we propose a High Performance Notch Filter algorithm in comparison with a existing notch filter for reduction of interference between existing Wireless Communication Service and Power Line Service. In addition, we implement the Notch Filter emulator appling a High Performance Notch Filter and using a embedded board.

The key issues in high power, high energy applications such as electromagnetic launchers include safety, reliability, flexibility, efficiency, compactness, and cost. To explore some of the issues, a control scheme for a large current wave-forming was designed, built and experimentally verified using a 2.4MJ pulse power system (PPS). The PPS was made up of eight capacitors bank unit, each containing six capacitors connected in parallel. Therefore there were 48 capacitors in total, with ratings of 22kV and 50kJ each. Each unit is charged through a charging switch that is operated by air pressure. For discharging each unit has a triggered vacuum switch (TVS) with ratings of 200kA and 250kV. Hence, flexibility of a large current wave-forming can be obtained by controlling the charging voltage and the discharging times. The whole control system includes a personal computer(PC), RS232 and RS485 pseudo converter, electric/optical signal converters and eight 80C196KC micro-controller based capacitor-bank module(CBM) controllers. Hence, the PC based controller can set the capacitor charging voltages and the TVS trigger timings of each CBM controller for the current wave-forming. It also monitors and records the system status data. We illustrated that our control scheme was able to generate the large current pulse flexibly and safely by experiments. The our control scheme minimize the use of optical cables without reducing EMI noise immunity and reliability, this is resulting in cost reduction. Also, the reliability was increased by isolating ground doubly, it reduced drastically the interference of the large voltage pulse induced by the large current pulse. This paper contains the complete control scheme and details of each subsystem unit.

Multicarrier DS-CDAM is an effective approach to realize wideband CDMA system in a multipath fading channeal. In this paper, we propose a cinvolutionally-coded overlapped multicarrier DS-CDMA system, and show the performance improvement by comparing with conventional multicarrier DS-CDMA system. We consider the case of 50% overlapping with the adjacent subband to utilize the transmission bandwidth more efficiently. In the proposed multicarrier system, each of the rate 1/M convolutionally-encoded symbols is also 1/R repetition coded and transmitted using overlapped multicarriers and we may obtain the coding gain and frequency diversity effect, simultaneously. We also analyze the possibility of reduction in total MUI by considering a raised-cosine wave-shaping filter having a roll-off factor (0< ${\beta}{\le}1$). It will be shown that the proposed system outperforms the multicarrier DS-CDMA system in $^{[3]}$.

The dynamic opportunistic device-to-device (DO-D2D) network will frequently emerge in the fifth generation (5G) wireless communication due to high-density and fast-moving mobile devices. In order to improve the Quality of Experience (QoE) of users with different computing capacity devices in the DO-D2D network, in this paper, we focus on the study of how to reduce the packets retransmission delay and satisfy heterogeneous devices. To select as many devices as possible to transmit simultaneously without interference, the concurrent transmitters-selecting algorithm is firstly put forward. It jointly considers the number of packets successfully received by each device and the device's connectivity. Then, to satisfy different devices' demands while primarily ensuring the base-layer packets successfully received by all the devices, the layer-cooperation instantly decodable network coding is presented, which is used to select transmission packets combination for each transmitter. Simulation results illustrate that there is an appreciable retransmission delay gain especially in the poor channel quality network compared to the traditional base-station (BS) retransmission algorithm. In addition, our proposed algorithms perform well to satisfy the different demands of users with heterogeneous devices.

Industrial equipment, such as power plant, is required to operate reliably, continuously and economically under rather severe conditions of temperature, stress, and enbironment. To test structural integrity and fitness, ultrasonic nondestructive testing is used because of effectiveness and simplicity. In this paper, wavelet transform based least mean square(LMS) algorithm is applied to reduce the influence of the interference occurring between randomly positioned small scatters. The RUN test is performed to check the nonstationarity of the speckle noise signal. The performance of this new approach is compared with that of the time domain LMS algorithm by means of condition numbers, signal-to-noise ratio and 3-D image. As a result, the wavelet transform based LMS algorithm shows better performance than the time domain LMS algorithm in this experiment.

This paper presents the results of permittivities of various materials by measurements of the dielectric properties for the materials in millimeter-wave band. Since the advantages of millimeter wave band include the miniaturization, weight reduction of component and a lot of information transfer, its study has received increasing attention of researches. Also, because of the characteristics of the band have the superior straightness and the small diffractive, in the band, the analysis for the reflection and transmission characteristics of the materials will be very important. Moreover, a low interference is one of characteristics of the band due to the fact that the millimeter wave is absorbed in the materials. Therefore, in this paper, the reflection and transmission characteristics of materials are measured in the band by using the free space method. Based on the presented result, the permittivities of the materials are derived by the calculation of Nicolson-Ross Weir method.

In this paper, we reduced the optical noise interference using polarizers in a visible light communication system. In a transmitter, two light-emitting diodes(LEDs) are modulated synchronously by the original and the reversed signals of the transmitted data, and the two LED lights are radiated through orthogonal polarizers. In a receiver, two optical signals are detected through orthogonal polarizers and differentially amplified to remove the optical noise. In an environment that noise light from a fluorescent lamp is much stronger than the signal, the receiver with orthogonal polarizers removed the 120 Hz noise, and synchronous light transmission of the original and the reversed signals using two LEDs reduced the illumination flickering to about one-eighth that using one LED.
