  • Various studies such as INS(: Inertial Navigation System) are conducting to estimate the position of UAV, because the GPS information of UAV is at risk like the GPS jamming. The position estimation using DoA and RTT are used to apply many radar systems, and that process can be applied in datalink of UAV. The general monopulse feed in UAV datalink is Multi-horn, because of the wide BW(: Band Width) and frequency range. And it needs wide SNR range of tracking because of the limited transmit power of airborne unit. The estimation error of position increase at low SNR, and the DoA is valid in only 3dB beam width but high SNR causes false of mainlobe detection because of large sidelobe. In this paper, We propose the method to achieve higher accuracy of DoA estimation on low SNR and review some idea that able to detect mainlobe.

  • In this paper, we propose and observe the Adaptive Modulation system with optimal Turbo Coded V-BLAST(Vertical-Bell-lab Layered Space-Time) technique that is applied the extrinsic information from MAP Decoder in decoding Algorithm of V-BLAST: ordering and slicing. And comparing the proposed system with the Adaptive Modulation system using conventional Turbo Coded V-BLAST technique that is simply combined V-BLAST with Turbo Coding scheme, we observe how much throughput performance and SNR has been improved. In addition, we show that the proposed system using STD(Selection Transmit Diversity) scheme results in on improved result, By using simulation and comparing to conventional Turbo Coded V-BLAST technique with the Adaptive Modulation systems, the optimal Turbo Coded V-BLAST technique with the Adaptive Modulation systems has SNR gain over all SNR range and better throughput gain that is about 350Kbps in 11dB SNR range. Also, comparing with the conventional Turbo Coded V-BLAST technique using 2 transmit and 2 receive antennas, the proposed system with STD scheme show that the improvement of maximum throughput is about 1.77Mbps in the same SNR range and the SNR gain is about 5.88dB to satisfy 4Mbps throughput performance.

  • A recursive estimation for the enhancement of white noise contaminated speech is proposed. This method is based on the Kalman filter with time-varying parametric model for the clean speech signal. Then, hidden filter model are used to model the clean speech signal. An approximation improvement of 4-5 dB in SNR is achieved at 5 and 10 dB input SNR, respectively.

  • Closed-loop transmit diversity is considered an important technique for improving the link budget in the third generation and future wireless communication standards. This paper proposes several transmit diversity algorithms suitable for small wireless terminals and presents performance assessment in terms of average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and outage improvement, convergence, and complexity of operations. The algorithms presented herein are verified using data from measured indoor channels with variable antenna spacing and the results explained using measured radiation patterns for a two-element array. It is shown that for a two-element array, the best among the proposed techniques provides SNR improvement of about 3 dB in a tightly spaced array (inter-element spacing of 0.1 wavelength at 2 GHz) typical of small wireless devices. Additionally, these techniques are shown to perform significantly better than a single antenna device in an indoor channel considering realistic values of latency and propagation errors.

  • A Dual Sensor Wiener Filter technique was used to improve the image quality of the scanning type digital radiographic system (resolution and SNR). In this method, two images were acquried simultaneously using two sensors with high and low resolution and SNR values. Using the cross Power spectrum between dual sensor outputs of the same chest radiographic image. we design a new type of Wiener Filter and implement it with fast algorithm. We compared the performance of this new dual sensor filter with conventional single sensor filters (Wiener Filter and Parametric Projec- tion Filter) . In simulation studies, it is shown that this new method has SNR improvement of 1-3 dB better than conventional filters.

  • In this paper, we propose a transceiver structure that can effectively improve BER(Bit Error Rate) performance for TR-UWB (Transmitted Reference Ultra Wide Band) systems based on impulse radio. Unlike coherent UWB systems that are too complex for practical implementation while having good BER performances, the complexity of the TR-UWB systems is quite low since they transmit data with the corresponding reference signals and demodulate the data through correlation using these received signals. However, the BER performance in the conventional TR-UWB systems is affected by SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) of the reference templates used in the correlator. To this end, we propose a receiver structure that can effectively improve the BER performance by increasing the SNR of reference templates. Simulation results reveal that the proposed scheme achieves significant BER improvement as compared to the conventional TR-UWB systems.

  • 본 논문에서는 잡음의 변화(variance)가 없는 정적인 통계적 특성(Stationary Static Characteristic)을 갖는 환경에서 잡음 추정을 통해 지각 필터의 성능을 개선하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 잡음 추정 알고리즘은 입력되는 잡음에 열화 된 신호의 묵음 구간에서 추정된 잡음을 이용하여 입력되는 잡음의 SNR을 추정 후, 대역 별로 smoothing 상수 값으로 잡음 에너지를 제어하여 첨가된 잡음을 추정함으로써 초기 추정 잡음 보다 가까운 추정 잡음을 얻을 수 있게 된다. 이는 신호를 열화 시킨 잡음을 보다 정확한 추정을 제공함으로써, 지각 필터의 응답을 개선할 수 있고 더불어 잡음에 의해 열화 된 신호의 음질을 개선할 수 있다. 또한 저 대역에 영향을 미치는 잡음인 경우 다른 방법들과는 달리 음질의 개선이 뚜렷하다. 기존의 방식과 비교를 위해 다양한 신호 대 잡음 비(signal-to-noise ratio, SNR)에서 열화 된 오디오 신호를 입력으로 사용하였다. 입력 SNR이 5dB, 10dB, 15dB와 20dB의 각각의 경우에 대하여 SSNR(Segmental SNR)과 잡음 대 마스킹 비(Noise-to-mask ratio, NMR), 음질 테스트를 수행한 결과, 청감 테스트(Mean Opinion Score, MOS Test) 결과의 향상과 음질개선의 개선을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • This paper proposes a progressive Image transmission method with a variable magnification hierarchical structure for image processing system. As Introduced in the literature, the progressive image transmission method, uses a fixed magnification rates of either 4 or 1/4. Thus, a sudden in-crease In resolution Is obtained due to a sudden Increase in information. By adapting a variable magnification hlerarchical structure In this research, a gradual increase in resolution Is possible by slowly inrireasing information between hierarchical levels. The simulation results show that a 5.7dB SNR improvemr'nt Is obtained with an Improved compression rate by 0.7 Ult /pel compare to the LP method. It also gives about 1 dB SNR improvement compare to the PCS method at intermediate hierarchical levels.

  • As a noninvasive imaging method, optical coherence tomography system has been extensively studied because it has some advantages such as imaging of high resolution, low cost, and compact size configuration. In order to improve the SNR of OCT system, two types of interferometers were configured and then, we compared simulation with measurement of reference sample. In the OCT system is configured with Michelson interferometer, the contrast of cross-sectional image is reduced with low SNR detection which is due to loss of feedback interference signal from light source part. Also, in order to image measured data with real time, image processing program is constructed. From results of simulation, it is confirmed that improved Michelson interferometer is improved about 10[dB] with a 50 : 50 fiber coupler. And from the measurement of reference sample, about 5[dB] is improved with a 50 : 50 fiber coupler. It is confirmed that the OCT system is configured with the improved Michelson interferometer which has a good distinctive cross-sectional image due to higher contrast.

  • In this paper, we develop a dual beam automotive laser radar system which improve the defect of conventional unipolar one beam laser scheme. We introduce an SNR improving method using bipolar signal synthesizing scheme from two unipolar signals at the receiving unit via differential structure by allocating bipolar m-sequence into the two laser wavelengths, which have similar property like 2-D OOC, and investigate its performance. Simulation results show that the proposed dual beam scheme can have 3dB SNR improvement as compared with conventional unipolar signaling laser radar system. Also, we show the simple interference rejection scheme using differential structures. The proposed scheme have a merit to obtain additional 3dB SNR gain applied into the excellent results based on unipolar optical signal studied lately.
