An optimization-based real-time joint angle extraction method of human elbow is proposed by processing the biomedical signal of surface EMG (electromyogram) measured at the center point of biceps brachii. The EMG signal is known as non-stationary (time-varying) signal, but we assume that it is quasi-stationary because a physical or physiological system has limitations in the rate at which it can change its characteristics. Based on the assumption, a pre-processing method to obtain pre-angle values from raw EMG signal is firstly suggested, and then an optimization method to minimize the error between the pre-angle and real joint angle is proposed in this paper. Finally, we suggest the experimental results showing the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The radar signal processing procedure is divided into the pre-processing such as frequency down converting, down sampling, pulse compression, and etc, and the post-processing such as doppler filtering, extracting target information, detecting, tracking, and etc. The former is generally designed using FPGA because the procedure is relatively simple even though there are large amounts of ADC data to organize very quickly. On the other hand, in general, the latter is parallel processed by multiple DSPs because of complexity, flexibility and real-time processing. This paper presents the radar signal processor design using FPGA which includes not only the pre-processing but also the post-processing such as doppler filtering, bore-sight error, NCI(Non-Coherent Integration), CFAR(Constant False Alarm Rate) and etc.

본 논문은 효과적인 학습을 제공해주는 교수법으로 알려진 플립러닝을 신호처리 교과목에 적용한 사례에 대한 연구이다. 수업을 위해 사용된 교수학습 모형과 3개년간 시행 사례를 기술하였다. In-class는 비교적 성공적인 수업이라 판단할 수 있으나, Pre-class에서 제공된 동영상 자료의 편성과 학습 여부에 대한 평가는 개선이 필요하였다. 또한, Pre-class와 In-class를 효과적으로 연계하는 방법에 대한 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

In vitro analyses of type I signal peptidase activities require protein precursors as substrates. Usually, these pre-proteins are expressed in vitro and cleavage of the signal sequence is followed by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis coupled with autoradiography. Radioactive amino acids have to be incorporated in the expressed protein, since the amount of the in vitro expressed protein is usually very low and processing of the signal peptide cannot be followed by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis alone. Here we describe a rapid and simple method to express large amounts of a protein precursor in E. coli. We have analyzed the effect of ionophors as well as of azide on the accumulation of expressed protein precursors. Azide blocks the function of SecA and the ionophors dissipate the electrochemical gradient across the cytoplasmic membrane of E. coli. Addition of azide ions resulted in the formation of inclusion bodies, highly enriched with pre-apo-plastocyanine. Plastocyanine is a soluble copper protein, which can be found in the periplasmic space of cyanobacteria as well as in the thylakoid lumen of cyanobacteria and chloroplasts, and the pre-protein contains a cleavable signal sequence at its N-terminus. After purification of cyanobacterial pre-apo-plastocyanine, its signal sequence can be cleaved off by the E. coli signal peptidase, and protein processing was followed on Coomassie stained SDS polyacrylamide gels. We are optimistic that the presented method can be further developed and applied.

Compared to ambient vibration testing, impact testing has the merit to extract not only structural modal parameters but also structural flexibility. Therefore, structural deflections under any static load can be predicted from the identified results of the impact test data. In this article, a signal processing procedure for structural flexibility identification is first presented. Especially, practical issues in applying the proposed procedure for structural flexibility identification are investigated, which include sensitivity analyses of three pre-defined parameters required in the data pre-processing stage to investigate how they affect the accuracy of the identified structural flexibility. Finally, multiple-reference impact test data of a three-span reinforced concrete T-beam bridge are simulated by the FE analysis, and they are used as a benchmark structure to investigate the practical issues in the proposed signal processing procedure for structural flexibility identification.

This paper presents the novel work for source localization of serial multiple impacts in a plate sructure. It is difficult to identify the source of serial multiple impacts with the current source localization techenology(SLT) because of the overlapping of dispersive wave induced by multiple impacts and the reflaction from the edge of the plate. In this paper, the new method is suggested for source localization. The method is developed based on the SLT with pre-signal processing such as some limitation for the selection of three sensors, the frequency range for TFA and impact time interval. Results from numerical simulation and experiment in isotropic plate structure are presented, which show the capability of the proposed method.

The pre-emphasis is an essential process for speech signal processing. Widely used two methods are the typical method using a fixed value near unity and te optimal method using the autocorrelation ratio of the signal. This study proposes a new pre-emphasis method using the short-term energy difference of speech signal, which can effectively compensate the glottal source characteristics and lip radiation characteristics. Using the proposed pre-emphasis, speech analysis, such as spectrum estimation, formant detection, is performed and the results are compared with those of the conventional two pre-emphasis methods. The speech analysis with 5 single vowels showed that the proposed method enhanced the spectral shapes and gave nearly constant formant frequencies and could escape the overlapping of adjacent two formants. comparison with FFT spectra had verified the above results and showed the accuracy of the proposed method. The computational complexity of the proposed method reduced to about 50% of the optimal method.

본 논문에서는 포터블 뇌파 바이오피드백시스템을 위한 전치증폭부 및 디지털 신호처리부의 하드웨어 구현에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 뇌파의 특성을 고려하여 외부 잡음을 제거할 수 있는 뇌파 획득용 전치증폭부를 구현하였다. 측정된 뇌파에는 안전도, 근전도, 심전도 등의 신호들이 포함되어 있으며 이들은 뇌파 분석에 방해가 된다. 따라서 이러한 신호들을 제거하기 위하여 적응여파기 알고리즘을 수행하고 전치증폭부를 실시간으로 구동하는 디지털신호처리부를 구현하였다. 시뮬레이션 파형과 실제 뇌파를 적용한 실험결과를 통하여 개발된 시스템의 성능을 확인 할 수 있었으며 휴대형 뇌파바이오피드백 시스템에 적용 가능함을 확인하였다.

The synthetic aperture radar(SAR) is an equipment that can acquire images in all weathers day and night based on radar signals. The on-board processor of satellite SAR generates transmission signal by digital signal processing, converts it into an analog signal and transmits to antenna. Until the transmission signal generated by on-board processor is output, the signal passes the transmission cables and analog devices. At this time, these hardware distort the signal and makes SAR performance worse. To improve the performance, pre-distortion technique is used. But, general pre-distortion using taylor series is not sufficient to compensate for the distortion. This paper suggests transmit signal design method with improved pre-distortion. This paper uses envelop sampling method and interpolation filter for frequency domain compensation. The proposed method accurately compensates the hardware distortion and reduces resource usage of FPGA. To analyze proposed method's performance, IRF characteristics are compared when the proposed method applies to signal with errors.
