안테나 센서 어레이를 이용하여 수신되는 전파의 도래각을 추정하는 방식으로서 MUSIC(multiple signal classification)과 같은 고유분해(eigendecomposition)를 기반으로 한 방식은 백색잡음 환경하에서는 고분해능의 우수한 성능을 보이지만 유색잡음이 존재하는 환경에서는 성능이 크게 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 주기성을 가진 신호에 잡음이 더해진 선호를 웨이브렛 영역으로 변환하여 신호와 잡음을 분리하는 방법을 사용하여 유색잡음이 있는 환경에서 도래각 추정 문제를 접근하였다. 배경잡음만 있는 경우 센서 어레이 출력을 이산 웨이브렛 분해를 하여 얻은 멀티스케일 성분들의 공분산 행렬은 밴드화된 행렬로 근사화 할 수 있는데 비하여 협대역 신호는 멀티스케일 성분간의 상관성은 급속히 감소하는 현상을 보이지 않고 공분산 행렬에서는 신호성분이 전체 행렬에 분포한다. 어레이 출력의 공분산 행렬을 웨이브렛 영역으로 변환하여 유색잡음에 해당하는 특정 밴드를 삭제하고 MUSIC과 같은 기존의 공간 스펙트럼 추정방식을 적용하여 도래각을 추정 한 다음 그 결과로 부터 신호성분을 합성하여 삭제한 밴드를 채우는 과정을 반복하여 정확한 도래각을 얻는 방안을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능을 여러 가지 형태의 상관함수 특성을 가진 유색잡음 환경에서 모의실험을 통하여 기존 방식과 비교 분석하였다.

Reliable detection and parameter estimation of a radar cross section(RCS) fluctuating target have been known as a difficult task. To reduce the effect of RCS fluctuation, various diversity techniques have been considered. This paper presents a new method for synthesizing a covariance matrix applicable to a coherent multi-input multi-output(MIMO) radar with frequency diversity. It is achieved by efficiently combining covariance matrices corresponding to different carrier frequencies such that the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) in the combined covariance matrix is maximized. The value of a synthesized covariance matrix is assessed by examining the phase curves of its entries and the improvement on direction of arrival(DOA) estimation.

An angle error is a factor obstructing to track accurate position in tracking radars. And the noise incurring the angle error can be divided as follows; thermal noise and glint. In general, Extended Kalman filter used in tracking radars is designed with considering thermal noise only. The Extended Klaman filter uses a fixed measurement error covariance when updating an estimate state by using ahead state and measurement. But, a noise power varies according to the range. Therefore we purposes the adaptive Kalman filter which changes the measurement noise covariance according to the range. In this paper, we compare the performance of the Extended Kalman filter and the proposed adaptive Kalman filter by considering KSLV-I (Korean Satellite Launch Vehicles).

Decentralized filtering for a formation flight instrumentation system by INS/GPS integration is considered in this paper. An elaborate tuning method of the measurement noise covariance is suggested to compensate modeling errors caused by decentralizing the extended Kalman filter. It does not require large data transfer between formation vehicles. Covariance analysis exhibits the superior performance of the proposed approach when compared with the existent decentralized filter and the global filter, which has the target-filter performance.

Feature vectors of speech are generally extracted from whole frequency domain. The inherent character of a speaker is located in the low band or high band frequency. However, if the speech is corrupted by narrowband noise with concentrated energy, speaker verification performance is reduced as the individual characteristic is removed. In this paper, we propose a PCA Covariance Model based on the multiband to extract the robust feature vectors against the narrowband noise. First, we divide the overall frequency band into several subbands. Second, the correlation of feature vectors extracted independently from each subband is removed by PCA. The distance obtained from each subband has different distribution. To normalize against the different distribution, we moved the value into the normalized distribution through the mapping function. Finally, the represented value applying the weighting function is used for speaker verification. In the experiments, the proposed method shows better performance of the speaker verification and reduces the computation.

In this paper, for a spectrum sensing purpose, we heuristically established a test statistic (TS) from a sample covariance matrix (SCM) for multiple antennas based cognitive radio. The TS is formulated as a scaled-energy which is calculated as a sum of scaled diagonal entries of a SCM; each of the diagonal entries of a SCM scaled by corresponding row's Euclidean norm. On the top of that, by combining theoretical results together with simulation observations, we have approximated a decision threshold of the TS which does not need prior knowledge of noise power and primary user signal. Furthermore, simulation results - which are obtained in a fading environment and in a spatially correlating channel model - show that the proposed method stands effect of noise power mismatch (non-uniform noise power) and has significant performance improvement compared with state-of-the-art test statistics.

본 논문은 관성 항법 시스템(Inertial Navigation System)을 활용한 자세 및 방향 결정시스템(Attitude & Heading Reference System)의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 새로운 기법인, 순차적 측정 오차 공분산(Sequential Measurement Noise Covariance) 기법을 제시하였다. 관성 센서는 시간이 지남에 따라 발생하는 적분오차와 진동이나 가속구간과 같은 외란이 가해 졌을 때 성능이 저하된다는 단점이 있다. 특히, 저가의 관성 센서의 경우 이러한 현상이 더욱 두드러지게 나타난다. 이를 극복하기 위한 알고리즘들은 많이 존재한다. 하지만 가장 일반적으로 사용되는 확장 칼만 필터의 경우 가속도계를 사용할 때 측정값(Measurement)이 일정 범위를 넘어가면 센서값을 배제하는 방법을 사용한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법은 범위를 설정하지 않고 과거의 데이터를 순차적으로 활용하여 측정값의 가중치를 변화하는 기법이다. 최종적으로 제안된 기법을 수치 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

This paper presents the study results on the design of the correction filter to improve the azimuth error estimation of the high-speed guided missile launched from the warship after the transfer alignment. We theoretically proved that the transfer alignment performance is determined by the accuracy of the marine inertial navigation system and the observability of the attitude error state variable in the transfer alignment filter, and that most of navigation errors in high-speed guided missile are caused by azimuth error. In order to improve the azimuth estimation performance of the correction filter, the multiple adaptive estimation method and the adaptive filters adapting the measurement noise covariance or the process noise covariance are proposed. The azimuth estimation performance of the proposed adaptive filter and the existing Kalman filter are compared and analyzed each other for 8 different transfer alignment accuracy cases. As a result of comparison and analysis, it was confirmed that the adaptive filter adapting the process noise covariance has the best azimuth estimation performance. These results can be applied to the design of correction filters for high-speed guided missile.

This paper studies a parallel relay network where the relays employ an amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying scheme and are subjected to individual power constraints. We consider correlated effective relay noise arising from practical scenarios when the relays are exposed to common interferers. Assuming that the noise covariance and the full channel state information are available, we investigate the problem of finding the optimal AF scheme in terms of maximum end-to-end transmission rate. It is shown that the maximization problem can be equivalently transformed to a convex semi-definite program, which can be efficiently solved. Then an upper bound on the maximum achievable AF rate of this network is provided to further evaluate the performance of the optimal AF scheme. It is proved that the upper bound can be asymptotically achieved in two special regimes when the transmit power of the source node or the relays is sufficiently large. Finally, both theoretical and numerical results are given to show that, on average, noise correlation is beneficial to the transmission rate - whether the relays know the noise covariance matrix or not.

First-order Gauss-Marker신호가 delta변조기에 즉가되어 granular잡음이 발생될 경우에 신호대잡음화의 표시식을 구하고, 또한 근사식에 관하여 고찰하였다. 입력신호의 adjacent correlation값과 local decoder의 prediction coefficient값간의 차에 비하여 adjacent correlation값이 클 경우에는, 입력신호와 오차신호간의 cross covariance값이 징소하므로 간단한 근사식으로 나타내었다. 이 경우에 임의의 adjacent correlation값에 대하여 적용될 수 있는 근사식을 나타내었다.
