The 4-axis strain-gauge, which is widely applied to military weapon systems, is operated in poor temperature and vibration conditions, tolerance may increase and malfunctions may occur. To improve this, this paper proposes a signal-processing software technique for the tolerance of the 4-axis strain gauge applied to a military weapon system. First, the tolerance of the strain-gauge and the signal processing circuit according to the ambient temperature were evaluated and analyzed. Second, a software technique for processing the dead zone and offset area that can improve the tolerance of the strain-gauge is proposed. The experimental results applying the software technique confirmed that it operated normally in the temperature test and operation test. Therefore, the proposed software technique is valid and can be used as useful information to improve tolerance due to ambient temperature and vibration when designing a system using a strain-gauge.

Software-based GNSS receivers have the great advantage in flexibility compared with conventional receivers. But it has some problems to processing IF level Signal RAW data, need long time to process long term data and TTFF is long because the process is too slow. So this time, we concentrated on the signal acquisition, and examined the speedup technique. Using this technique, the acquisition was speedup dramatically, and signal-to-noise ratio was improved.

In sensor signal conditioning and processing, offset and drift characteristics of an operational amplifier are an important factor when the amplifier is used for a precise sensor signal amplifier. In order to use it in high accuracy, an expensive trimming or a complex compensation circuit is required. This paper presents the improved sensor signal conditioning and processing device for ubiquitous sensor network(USN) application or general purpose by developing a hardware of the circuit for reducing the offset voltage and drift characteristics, and a software for its control and sensor signal processing. We realize better offset voltage and drift characteristics of the signal conditioning circuit using low cost operational amplifiers. The experimental results show that this technique is effective in improving the performance of the sensor signal processing device.

In this study, we design an optimized Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)-based GNSS signal processing technique with the goal of designing and implementing a GNSS Software Defined Receiver (SDR) that can operate in real time all-in-view mode under multi-constellation and multi-frequency signal environment. In the proposed structure the correlators of the existing GNSS SDR are processed by the GPU. We designed a memory structure and processing method that can minimize memory access bottlenecks and optimize the GPU memory resource distribution. The designed GNSS SDR can select and operate only the desired GNSS or desired satellite signals by user input. Also, parameters such as the number of quantization bits, sampling rate, and number of signal tracking arms can be selected. The computing capability of the designed GPU-based GNSS SDR was evaluated and it was confirmed that up to 2400 channels can be processed in real time. As a result, the GPU-based GNSS SDR has sufficient performance to operate in real-time all-in-view mode. In future studies, it will be used for more diverse GNSS signal processing and will be applied to multipath effect analysis using more tracking arms.

Recently, the research of GPS receiver which uses the Software-Defined Radio(SDR) technique is being actively proceeded instead of traditional hardware-based receiver. The software-based GPS receiver indicates that the signal acquisition and tracking treated by the hardware-based platform are processed as the software technique through a microprocessor. In this paper, GPS software receiver is designed by using SDR technique and then the signal acquisition, tracking, and the navigation message decoding parts are verified through the PC-based simulation. Moreover, the efficient algorithms are developed about the signal acquisition and tracking parts in order to obtain the accurate pseudorange. Finally, the pseudorange is calculated through the relative channel delay received through the different satellite of L1 frequency band. GPS software receiver proposed in this paper will be included in the element of GPS/Galileo complex system of development target and will provide not only the method that verifies the performance for Galileo Sensor Station standard but also usability by providing various debugging environments.

Frequency is an important operating parameter of a power system. Electric power systems sustain transient frequency swings whenever the balance between generation and load does not no longer hold. To cope with this constraints, it requires an accurate and high speedy frequency deviation estimation technique and suitable adjustment to obtain the Power system energy balance. This paper describes a digital signal processing technique for measuring the operating frequency of a power system. The fundamental frequency component of 3-phase signal is first extracted by using an algorithm based on FIR filter. The rate change of the phase angle is used for estimation. To confirm the validity of the proposed algorithm, the simulation studies carried out on a typical 154KV double T/L system by using EMTP software. Some test results are presented in the paper.

A software-driven real-time frequency de-modulator is implemented with the aid of universal-serial-bus (USB) type software defined radio dongle. An analog stereo frequency modulation (FM) broadcast signal is down-converted to the basedband analog signal then converted to digital bit streams in the USB dongle. Computer software such as Matlab, Python, and GNU Radio manipulates the incoming bit streams with the technique of digital signal processing. Low pass filtering, band pass filtering, decimation, frequency discriminator, double sideband amplitude demodulation, phase locked loop, and deemphasis function blocks are implemented using such computer languages. Especially, GNU Radion is employed to realize the real-time demodulator.

The performance of a digital baseband signal processing and data transmission rate depends on the modulation technique. In this paper, We implemented DSP communication system for Underwater acoustic communication using by adaptive BPSK modem technique. In order to implement adaptive modem, we suggested SNR detection block. SNR detection block has the reference SNR value that selects between window filter path and matched filter path. In this paper, suggested system is based on software interface and all Hardware(PLL, modem filter, equalizer etc) is implemented by software, exclusive of DSP, A/D, D/A converter, SDRAM and Flash memory.

In this study, a Software Defined Radio(SDR) technology-based digital filtering technique applicable to a multiple channel processing system such as a wireless mobile communication system using Code Division Multiple Access(CDMA) technology is proposed. The technique includes a micro-processor to redesign Finite Impulse Response(FIR) filter coefficients according to specific system information and to download the filter coefficients to one digital Band Pass Filter(BPF) to reconfigure another system. The feasibility of the algorithm is verified by implementing a multiple channel signal generator that is reconfigurable to other system profiles, including those for a CDMA system and a WCDMA system on identical hardware platform.

Currently. people become interested in the development of measuring instrument related to eyesight. In this study, we developed software of electronic part in automatic refracto-keratometer. If an automatic system, which uses images from an optical instrument, can inform the in-spector of an accurate eyesight measured value after the internal process, the frequency of mistakenly observed value will be reduced considerably. This software is using morphological filtering and gray-level signal enhancing techniques. The morphological filtering is the first process, from images of the optical instrument, to transform an original image which is hard to process into manageable one. The second process is a signal enhancing technique to the first processed image using gray -level thresholding technique and is used to reduce an error caused by the variety in distribution of the gray value of image. Therefore, this software system in electronic part will make more effective eyesight measurement by reducing the error effectively when applied to the optical image which is difficult to get accurate measurement value.
