The disturbance observer (DOB) controller has been widely used in various industrial applications since it is capable of achieving robust stability and disturbance rejection. In this paper, we study the effect of Q-filter on disturbance observer controller for Electro-Magnetic suspension (EMS) systems. We consider three Q-filters and analyze their effects on the robust stability against parameter uncertainties due to mass variation. Moreover, we investigate the influence of sensor noise for three Q-filters. According to our study, robust stability improves as the order of Q-filter decreases. On the other hand, the larger the order of Q-filter, the more the effect of sensor noise can be removed.

In this paper we propose the impulse noise-robust Wiener filter based on a combination of Wiener and modified trimmed mean(MTM) filters. The robust Wiener filter uses the trimming operation of the MTM filter to replace the outliers with the median within the window and the new set of samples which can be considered as the random process with same mean are inputted into the following Wiener filter. We show that the robust Wiener filter is effective in frequency selective filtering of nonstationary signals while preserving signal edges with the rejection of impulse noise.

The echo signal on ultrasonic transducer is a mixed signal from tissues, blood vessel walls, blood cells and noise. In this mixed-signal, the signal reflected from tissues and blood vessel walls is called clutter. It is necessary to extract pure blood signal from this mixed-signal, when measuring blood flow velocity with medical ultrasonic system The quality of measured blood flow velocity is highly dependent on sufficient attenuation of the clutter signals. In this paper, we suggest a clutter rejection method using ICA For simulation, the echo signals are generated by Field n ultrasonic simulation program In this echo signals, independent signals are separated by using ICA Then the blood signal is obtained from the separated signals. Blood flow velocity is measured by 2D autocorrelation method. We compare ICA clutter rejection method with PCA-based eigen filter method using both measured blood flow velocity profiles by 2D autocorrelation. In simulation results, ICA clutter rejection method can be better applied measuring blood flow velocity in noisy echo signals.

This paper describes a baseband analog (BBA) chain for wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. For the given specifications of the receiver BBA chain, the optimum allocation of the gain and filter rejection of each block in a BBA chain is achieved to maximize the SFDR. The fully integrated BBA chain is fabricated in 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. An input-referred third-order intercept point (IIP3) of 22.9 dBm at a gain of 0.5 dB and an input-referred noise voltage (IRN) of 32.2 nV/${\surd}$Hz at a gain of 63.3 dB are obtained. By optimizing the allocation of the gain and filter rejection using the proposed design methodology, an excellent SFDR performance of 63.9 dB is achieved with a power consumption of 12 mW.

In Korea, transition to digital TV broadcasting started at the metropolitan Seoul area and has expanded to the metropolitan area in 2004. However, until 2010 analog NTSC broadcasting will co-exist with digital TV. In this situation, digital TV may have the same channel as an analog NTSC broadcasting. To remove the effect of the analog NTSC intereference, DTV receivers adopt an NTSC rejection filter. In this paper, analysis on properties of the filter, such as a rejection property and noise performance degradation, is presented.

In this paper, we propose a band rejection filter (BRF) with a state variable filter (SVF) structure to effectively remove the influence of 60 Hz line frequency noise introduced into the sensor system. The conventional BRF of the SVF structure uses an additional operational amplifier (OPAMP) to add a low pass filter (LPF) output and a high pass filter (HPF) output or an input signal and a band pass filter. Therefore, the notch frequency and the notch depth that determine the signal attenuation of the BRF greatly depend on the tolerance of the resistors used to obtain the sum or difference of the signals. On the other hand, in the proposed BRF, since the BRF output is formed naturally within the SVF structure, there is no need for a combination between each port. The notch frequency of the proposed BRF is 59.99 Hz, and it can be confirmed that it is not affected at all by the tolerance of the resistor through the Monte Carlo simulation results. The notch depth also has an average of -42.54dB and a standard deviation of 0.63dB, confirming that normal operation as a BRF is possible. Also, with the proposed BRF, noise filtering was applied to the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal that interfered with 60 Hz noise, and it was confirmed that the 60 Hz noise was appropriately suppressed.

In this paper, we propose a new image rejection receiver architecture using simultaneously the high-side and low-side injected LO signals. The proposed architecture has a lower noise figure (NF) performance and a higher linearity characteristic than the previous receiver architecture using a single LO signal. Also, the proposed receiver shows a higher IRR performance about 6dB than that of the previous Weaver image rejection architecture even though the same gain and phase errors between I-path and Q-path exist. To verify these characteristics, we derive an IRR formular of the proposed architecture as a function of mismatch parameters. And we demonstrate its formular's usefulness through the system simulation. Therefore, the proposed architecture will be widely used to implement the image rejection receiver due to its higher IRR performance.

Magnetic sensor chip for measuring bio-magnetism is implemented in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The magnetic sensor chip consists of a small-sized high inductance coil sensor and an instrumentation amplifier (IA). High inductance coil sensor with suitable sensitivity and bandwidth for measurement of bio-magnetic signal is designed using electromagnetic field simulation. Low gm operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) using transconductance reduction techniques is designed for on-chip solution. Output signal sensitivity of magnetic sensor chip is $3.25fT/{\mu}V$ and reference noise of 21.1fT/${\surd}$Hz. Proposed IA is designed along with band pass filters(BPF) to reduce magnetic signal noise by using current feedback techniques. Proposed IA achieves a common mode rejection ratio of 117.5dB while the input noise referred is kept below $0.87{\mu}V$.

This paper studies an active noise controller in a communication headset. The system is a two inputs(communication signal and noise signal) and single output(error signal) system. The problem is to reduce noise level sufficiently lower than communication signal to receive the communication signal clearly. The approach to this problem is in two steps. In the first step, we solve the noise rejection problem without communication signals. In this step, the problem is transformed to the robust H$_{\infty}$ regulating problem and solved using Linear Matrix Inequalities. In the second step, communication signal is introduced to the system, To verify the performance of the designed controller, a couple of experiments are performed..

In the case of aeroacoustic test in windtunnel, measurement accuracy is reduced by not only Doppler effects but also by the microphone self noise due to airflow and high turbulence in the wall boundary layer. Microphone array measurements can be easily utilized for the solutions of these problems. In this paper, geometrical optics approach and diagonal term elimination of cross spectral matrix was introduced to the de-dopplerization and self noise reduction methods for the microphone array measurement. For the validation, beamforming tests for sinusoidal point source were performed in the closed type test section of windtunnel, and their performances of beam width and sidelobe rejection were significantly improved.
