The RLS (Recursive Least Squares) method is a broadly used adaptive algorithm for signal processing in electronic engineering. The RLS algorithm shows a good performance and a fast adaptation within a stationary environment, but it shows a Poor performance within a non-stationary environment because the method has a fixed forgetting factor. In order to enhance 'tracking' performances, BLS methods with an adaptive forgetting factor had been developed. This method shows a good tracking performance, however, it suffers from heavy computational loads. Therefore, we propose a modified AFF-RLS which has relatively low complexity m this paper.

The condition assessment of engineering systems has increased in importance because the manpower needed to operate and supervise various plants has been reduced. Especially, induction motors are at the core of most engineering processes, and there is an indispensable need to monitor their health and performance. So detection and diagnosis of motor faults is a base to improve efficiency of the industrial plant. In this paper, a model-based fault detection system is developed for induction motors, using steady state vibration signals. Early various fault detection systems using vibration signals are a trivial method and those methods are prone to have missed fault or false alarms. The suggested motor fault detection system was developed using a model-based reference value. The stationary signal had been extracted from the non-stationary signal using a data segmentation method. The signal processing method applied in this research is FFT. A reference model with spectra signal is developed and then the residuals of the vibration signal are generated. The ratio of RMS values of vibration residuals is proposed as a fault indicator for detecting faults. The developed fault detection system is tested on 800 hp motor and it is shown to be effective for detecting faults in the air-gap eccentricities and broken rotor bars. The suggested system is shown to be effective for reducing missed faults and false alarms. Moreover, the suggested system has advantages in the automation of fault detection algorithms in a random signal system, and the reference model is not complicated.

In this paper we proposed a Weight-Update-Control Adaptive Noise Canceller which improves speech when environmental noise is stationary and it is hard to acquire a reference signal. Adaptive Noise Canceller(ANC) needs a reference signal, but it is not easy to measure pure noise without voice for reference in factory. Because there are mixed various mechanical noise and workers' voice. Therefore ANC is not suitable to reduce background noise. So we proposed the method that uses an arbitrary constant as an input signal and inputs microphone signal to the reference signal. The noise is eliminated using updated weights in non-speech range. In speech range the weight is fixed and the modified voice is acquired then voice is restored through transversal filter. The proposed method is based on facts that the factory noise is stationary and the noise is not changed in short conversation range. As a result of simulation using MATLAB, we confirmed that the proposed method is effective for reducing factory noise and has high signal to noise ratio(SNR).

Today, we can use radio communication device anywhere-anytime. Sometimes, we use the device in acoustic noise environment. The acoustic noise makes many problems in communication system. In acoustic noise environment, speaker cannot send clear information to receiver, because the received signal includes both speech signal and noise signal. A digital filter is useful to remove noise to get desired signal. One of methods is the adaptive digital filter using the adaptive noise canceller that automatically adjust filter parameters. This thesis addresses articulation algorithms against actual acoustic noises by means of two adaptive filtering methods. One is the adaptive noise canceller with two input channels and another is the spectral subtraction filter with one input channel. The experimental result from the proposed filter shows that the adaptive noise canceller is useful to reduce the non-stationary noises, while the spectral amplitude filter is effective for stationary noises.

비백색잡음(non-white noise)인 잔향(reverberation)이 신호탐지(signal detection)의 주 방해신호인 천해 능동소나(active sonar) 환경에서의 표적탐지는 선백색화기(pre-whitening filter)를 사용하여 수신신호를 백색화한 후 백색잡음에서 최적 탐지기(optimum detector)인 정합필터를 사용한다. 그러나 이 방법은 잔향이 비정상(non-stationary) 특성을 가지기 때문에 구현이 매우 힘들다. 기존의 연구에 따르면 이러한 잔향은 지역적 정상상태(local stationary)라고 가정할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 잔향신호의 지역적 정상상태의 범위를 추정(estimation)하고, 이 추정을 바탕으로 천해와 같은 비백색 잔향신호 환경에서 선백색화 블럭 정규화 정합필터(pre-whitening block normalized matched filter)의 성능을 개선할 수 있는 선백색화 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 잔향신호의 백색화 기법은 표적신호 전 후의 잔향신호를 사용하여 처리블록(processing block)을 백색화하기 때문에 기존의 백색화 기법보다 우수한 성능을 보였다. 제안된 백색화 기법을 이용한 탐지기의 성능을 평가하기 위해 우리나라 인근해역에서 실측된 데이터를 이용하여 컴퓨터 모의실험을 수행하였다. 모의실험 결과 제안된 기법을 사용한 탐지기는 기존의 백색화 기법을 사용한 탐지기보다 우수한 탐지성능을 보였다.

Transient characteristics of a signal can be effectively exhibited in time-frequency domain. Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) is one of the time-frequency domain analysis methods. HHT is known for its several advantages over other signal analysis methods. The capability of analyzing non-stationary or nonlinear characteristics of a signal is the primary advantage of HHT. Moreover, it is known that HHT can provide fine resolution in high frequency region and handle large size data efficiently. In this study, the effectiveness of Hilbert-Huang transform is illustrated by employing structural systems undergoing impact. A simple discrete system and an axially oscillating cantilever beam undertaking periodic impulsive force are chosen to show the effectiveness of HHT.

Voltage and current signals during impulse tests on transformer are treated as non-stationary signals. A new method incorporating signal-processing method such as Wavelets and courier transform is proposed for failure identification. It is now possible to distinguish failure during impulse tests. The method is experimentally validated on a transformer winding. The wavelet transforms enables the detection of the time of occurrence of switching or failure events. After establishing the time of occurrence, the original waveform is split into two or more sections. The wavelet transform has ability to analysis the failure signal on time domain as well as frequency domain. Therefore, the wavelet transform is superior than courier transform to analysis the failure signal. In this paper, the fact was proved by real data which was achieved.

Recently, the wavelet transform has been a new and powerful tool for signal processing. It is more suitable specially for the feature extraction and detection of non-stationary signals than traditional methods such as, the Fourier Transform(FT), the Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) and the Least Square Method etc. because of the characteristic of the multi-scale analysis and time-frequency domain localization. The wavelet transform has been developed for the analysis of PD pulse signal to raise in the progress of insulation degradation. In this paper, the wavelet transform was applied to one foundational method for feature extraction. For the obtain experimental data, a computer-aided partial discharge measurement system with a single acoustic sensor was used. If we are applying to the neural network method the accumulated data through the extracted feature, it is expected that we can detect the PD pulse signal in the insulation materials on the on-line.

Time/frequency analysis has been extensively used in biomedical signal processing. By extracting some essential features from the electro-physiological signals, these methods are able to determine the clinical pathology mechanisms of some diseases. However, this method assumes that the signal should be stationary, which limits its application in non-stationary system. In this paper, we develop a new signal processing method using Hilbert-Huang Transform to perform analysis of the nonlinear and non-stationary ventricular fibrillation(VF). Hilbert-Huang Transform combines two major analytical theories: Empirical Mode Decomposition(EMD) and the Hilbert Transform. Hilbert-Huang Transform can be used to decompose natural data into independent Intrinsic Mode Functions using the theories of EMD. Furthermore, Hilbert-Huang Transform employs Hilbert Transform to determine instantaneous frequency and amplitude, and therefore can be used to accurately describe the local behavior of signals. This paper studied for Return Of Spontaneous Circulation(ROSC) and non-ROSC prediction performance by Support Vector Machine and three parameters(EMD-IF, EMD-FFT) extracted from ventricular fibrillation ECG waveform using Hilbert-Huang transform. On the average results of sensitivity and specificity were 87.35% and 76.88% respectively. Hilbert-Huang Transform shows that it enables us to predict the ROSC of VF more precisely.
