Blocking and ringing artifacts continue to be the most serious defects that occur in images and video streams compressed to low bit rates using block-based discrete cosine transform(DCT) compression standards. These artifacts contain the high frequency components near the block and the edge boundaries. Usually the lowpass filter can remove them. However, simple lowpass filter results into blur by removing important information such as edges at the same time. To overcome these problems, we propose a novel postfiltering algorithm that calculate the weight value based on the intensity similarity in the neighboring pixels and multiply this weight to the Gaussian lowpass filter coefficient. Experimental results show that the proposed technique provides satisfactory performance in both objective and subjective image quality.

In this paper, a new class of bandpass filter using a modified Chebyshev lowpass filter function is described. The prosposed bandpass filter which exhibits diminishing ripples in the passband has maximum value at the center frequency. Due to the lower pole-Q, the performance in the frequency and time domains is improved as compared with the classical Chebyshev bandpass filter.

In this paper, we proposed novel multilayer photonic bandgap(PBG) structure using DSL(Descended Signal Line). From measurement result, the proposed PBG structure using DSL is reduced 72 % at size and increased 13 % at bandwidth compared to typical multilayer DGS(Defected Ground Structure). It is also reduced 42 % at size and increased 23 % at bandwidth compared to PBG structure using EGP(Elevated Ground Plane). In case of measurement for manufactured six PBG patterns, all patterns have the same cutoff frequency and bandstop characteristics. So it can be used for bandstop filter having very precise tolerance of below 300 MHz at 20 ㎓ if it is applied to real product and this filter will be useful for small microwave integrated circuit and module development.

최근 우리나라는 물 부족 국가로서 물의 효율적 관리 필요성 증대, 기후변화에 따른 가뭄 홍수 피해 증가 등으로 신뢰성 있는 수문자료구축이 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 그 중 유량측정 분야는 모든 수자원 계획과 관리의 근간이 되는 분야로 그 중요성 또한 간과 할 수 없는 부분이다. 현재 우리나라에서는 한국건설기술연구원 산하 유량조사사업단에 의해 유량측정 주요지점에 자동유량측정 시설을 설치하고 이를 운영함으로써 각 지점의 특성에 따라 적절한 방식을 채택하여 이동시간차방식 초음파 유속계(UVM, Ultrasonic Velocity Meter)와 도플러방식 초음파유속계(ADVM, Acoustic Doppler Velocity Meter)를 설치하면서 향후 수문계측 분야 선진화를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고 있다. 하지만 실시간 무인화 계측시스템에 의해 제공되는 자료가 양질의 자료임을 보장할 수 없는 현실이기 때문에 측정된 기초자료의 필터링을 통한 자료의 질적 개선이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존에 전산분야의 필터링 방법으로 널리 알려져 있는 LPF(Lowpass Filter)와 KF(Kalman Filter)를 이용하여 자동유량측정 자료의 필터링 방법으로 활용하고, 그 적용성을 검토하였다. 본 연구를 통해 기존 유량자료의 문제점을 개선하고 효율적인 유량조사를 위한 기초자료 확보 방법으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, a new CMOS continuous-time fully-differential current-mode integrator is proposed as a basic building block of the low-voltage high frequency current-mode active filter. The proposed integrator is composed of the CMOS complementary circuit which can extend transconductance of an integrator. Therefore, the unity gain frequency which is determined by a small-signal transconductance and a MOSFET gate capacitance can be expanded by the complementary transconductance of the proposed integrator. And also the magnitude of pole and zero are increased. The unity gain frequency of the proposed integrator is increased about two times larger than that of the conventional continuous-time fully-differential integrator with NMOS-gm. These results are verified by the small signal analysis and the SPICE simulation. As an application circuit of the proposed fully-differential current-mode integrator, the three-pole Chebyshev lowpass filter is designed using 0.8.$\mu$m CMOS processing parameters. SPICE simulation predicts a 3-dB bandwidth of 148MHz and power dissipation of 4.3mW/pole for the three-pole filter with 3-V power supply.

An efficient method is presented to design filters without the similarity transform of their coupling coefficient matrix as circuit parameters, which is very tedious due to pivoting and deciding rotation angles needed during the iterations. The transfer function of a filter is directly used for the design and its desired form is derived by the optimized rational-function fitting technique. A 3rd order coaxial lowpass filter is taken as an example to validate the proposed method.

The eleventh-order coupled line lowpass filter(LPF) was designed to suppress harmonics and spurious signals. The microstrip type LPF was fabricated using a high-$T_{c}$ superconductor(HTS) $YBa_{2}$$Cu_{3}$$O_{7-x}$(YBCO) thin film with the $CeO_{2}$ buffer layer which was deposited on the sapphire ($Al_{2}O_{3}$) substrate of 30 x 30 $mm^{2}$. The coupled-line type LPF was designed for 1.2 GHz of cutoff frequency with 0.01 dB of ripple level at passband. The fabricated HTS LPF shows excellent attenuation characteristics in stopband of 1.2~9.5GHz (7-attenuation poles in the stopband), and shows low insertion loss (0.2 dB) and return loss (17.1 dB) in the pass- band. These measured results match well with those obtained by the EM simulation. This clearly demonstrates that the HTS LPF can suppress harmonics and spurious signals effectively.

This paper focuses on a simple technique to reduced torque ripple in the direct torque control inverter for PMSM drive. It is actually impossible to raise the inverter switching frequency in the conventional system, although the hysterisis bandwidths for the stator flux and torque control are sufficiently diminished, because of the sampling Interval and the delay in estimating the flux and the torque In order to overcome the problem, the proposed method introduces a dithering technique into the conventional system by superposing triangular waves with high frequency and minute amplitude on the torque error. And the programable 3- stage lowpass filter is added instead of pure Integrator. Simulation results prove the feasibility of proposed strategy compared with conventional method.

We propose an image change detection algorithm implemented on sensor nodes of the ubiquitous sensor network(USN). The proposed algorithm was designed for the robust detection of image changes regardless of the continuously changing ambient illumination environment. Morphological lowpass filter was used for estimating the illumination component in order to reduce computational burden instead of the existing Gaussian lowpass filter. The decision of the change detection is based on the result of threshold of difference image between two consecutive images. We also propose a new thresholding method using precalculated histogram information. The proposed algorithm was implemented on the MSP430 16bit microprocessor.

본 논문에서는 매우 넓은 저지대역과 우수한 cutoff 특성을 갖는 저역통과 여파기를 제안하였다. 접지면 슬롯과 급전면 개방 스터브의 특성을 결합한 기존의 광대역 여파기에서 전송선의 길이를 ${\lambda}_g/4$로 변형함으로써 기존의 여파기보다 더 작은 크기로 넓은 저지대역과 급격한 cutoff 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 설계한 단위 여파기를 특정 간격로 배열하여 더 깊은 저지대역과 향상된 cutoff 특성을 얻을 수 있었다.
