Devices such as X-Ray, CT, MRI, scanners, etc. can generate S&P noise from several sources during the image acquisition process. Since S&P noise appearing in the image degrades the image quality, it is essential to use noise reduction technology in the image processing process. Various methods have already been proposed in research on S&P noise removal, but all of them have a problem of generating residual noise in an environment with high noise density. Therefore, this paper proposes a filtering algorithm based on a three-dimensional plane equation by setting the grayscale value of the image as a new axis. The proposed algorithm subdivides the local mask to design the three closest non-noisy pixels as effective pixels, and applies cosine similarity to a region with a plurality of pixels. In addition, even when the input pixel cannot form a plane, it is classified as an exception pixel to achieve excellent restoration without residual noise.

Bias-dependent noise models of $0.2\mu\textrm{m}$ gate length P-HEMT's which are scalable with gate width are proposed. To predict S-parameters of the P-HEMT's the intrinsic parameters except for $\tau$ subtracted the offsets introduced in this paper are normalized to the gate width and then scaled. The small-signal model parameters are expressed as fitting functions of the drain current to $\textrm{I}_{dss}$ ratio and gate width. In addition, to estimate accurately noise parameters the noise temperature $\textrm{T}_{g}$ of the intrinsic resistance, the equivalent noise conductance $\textrm{G}_{ni}$ of the gate current noise source, and the equivalent noise conductance $\textrm{G}_{no}$ of the drain current noise source are adopted as the noise model parameters. The extracted values of $\textrm{T}_{g}$ are nearly independent of drain current and gate width and their average is around the ambient temperature. The extracted values of $\textrm{G}_{ni}$ are small enough to be neglected to the circuit characteristics. From the comparison of the noise model with only $\textrm{G}_{no}$ and that having $\textrm{T}_{g}$, $\textrm{G}_{ni}$ and $\textrm{G}_{no}$ to the measured data it is fund that even the former model is in good agreement with the measured noise parameters. Thus, from a practical point of view the noise model having only the drain current noise source is confirmed as a scalable bias-dependent model.

o.25${\mu}m$ T-shaped gate P-HEMT is fabricated and used for design of X0band three stage monolithic microwave integrated circuit(MMIC) low noise amplifier(LNA). The fabricated P-HEMT exhibits an extrinsis transconductance of 400mS/mm and a drain current of 400mA/mm. The RF and noise characteristics show that the current gain cut off frequency is 65GHz and minimum noise figure(NFmin) of 0.7dB with an associated gain of 14.8dB at 9GHz. In the design of the three stage LNA, we have used the inductive series feedback circuit topology with the short stub. The effects of series feedback to the noise figure, the gain, and the stability have been investigated to find the optimal short stub length. The designed three staage LNA showed a gain of above 33dB, a noise figure of under 1.2dB, and ainput/output return loss of under 15dB and 14dB, respectively. The results show that the fabricated P-HEMT is very suitable for a X-band LNA with high gain.

This paper introduces a new P wave arrival time determination algorithm of acoustic emission (AE) suitable to identify P waves with low signal-to-noise ratio generated in rock masses around the high-level radioactive waste disposal repositories. The algorithms adopted for this paper were amplitude threshold picker, Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), two step AIC, and Hinkley criterion. The elastic waves were generated by Pencil Lead Break test on a granite sample, then mixed with white noise to make it difficult to distinguish P wave artificially. The results obtained from amplitude threshold picker, AIC, and Hinkley criterion produced relatively large error due to the low signal-to-noise ratio. On the other hand, two step AIC algorithm provided the correct results regardless of white noise so that the accuracy of source localization was more improved and could be satisfied with the error range.

As use of digital equipment in various fields is increasing importance of processing video and signals is rising as well. However, in the process of sending and receiving signals, noise occurs due to different reasons and this noise bring about a huge influence on final output of the system. This research suggests algorithm for effectively repairing video in consideration to characteristics of its noise in condition where impulse and AWGN noises are combined. This algorithm tries to preserve video features by considering inference to noise components and resolution of filtering mask. Depending on features of input resolution, standard value is set and similar resolutions is selected for noise removal. This algorithm showing simulation result had outstanding noise removal and is compared and analyzed with existing methods by using different ways such as PSNR.

Radio waves must pass through the unstable atmosphere for successful wireless data transmission from space to ground stations. Data link algorithms required by the International Space Data Systems Advisory Committee (CCSDS) must be capable of detecting and resynchronizing cryptographic and receiver-side errors. However, error recovery is not part of the CCSDS requirements. This paper proposes an algorithm that enables robustness and error recovery against various noises. We experimented with environments such as Gaussian, Salt, Pepper, and S&P noise through noise reduction filters, filters that improve sharpness, and EDSR. In addition, we compare similar algorithms SES Alarmed and DSES Alarmed.

With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, many new technologies are being utilized. In particular, video signals are used in various fields. However, when transmitting and receiving video signals, salt and pepper noise and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) occur for multiple reasons. Failure to remove such noise when performing image processing can cause problems. Generally, filters such as CWMF, MF, and AMF remove noise. However, these filters perform somewhat poorly in the high-density noise domain and cause smoothing, resulting in slightly lower retention of the edge components. In this paper, we propose an algorithm by effectively eliminating salt and pepper noise using a modified weight filter using standard deviation. In order to prove the noise reduction performance of the proposed algorithm, we compared it with the existing algorithm using PSNR and magnified images.

In this paper, we design a high stable Ku-band phase-locked dielectric resonant microwave oscillator with the gate voltage controls of p-HEMT. By adapting the nonlinear equivalent elements which affects phase noise of microwave oscillator, we optimize the nonlinear elements of p-HEMT to have low phase noise operation. Using the scattering parameters according to bias voltages, we designed the gate voltage control microwave dielectric resonant oscillator and phase-locked loop circuits is applied to have the high stable operations. Designed microwave oscillator as a local oscillator of digital microwave communication shows that output power is 9.17dBm at 10.75GHz and it's phase noise is -88dBc/Hz at 10KHz offset frequency.
