Background and Objectives: The integration of auditory-visual speech information improves speech perception; however, if the auditory system input is disrupted due to hearing loss, auditory and visual inputs cannot be fully integrated. Additionally, temporal coincidence of auditory and visual input is a significantly important factor in integrating the input of these two senses. Time delayed acoustic pathway caused by the signal passing through digital signal processing. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of hearing loss and hearing aid digital delay circuit on sound-induced flash illusion. Subjects and Methods: A total of 13 adults with normal hearing, 13 with mild to moderate hearing loss, and 13 with moderate to severe hearing loss were enrolled in this study. Subsequently, the sound-induced flash illusion test was conducted, and the results were analyzed. Results: The results showed that hearing aid digital delay and hearing loss had no detrimental effect on sound-induced flash illusion. Conclusions: Transmission velocity and neural transduction rate of the auditory inputs decreased in patients with hearing loss. Hence, the integrating auditory and visual sensory cannot be combined completely. Although the transmission rate of the auditory sense input was approximately normal when the hearing aid was prescribed. Thus, it can be concluded that the processing delay in the hearing aid circuit is insufficient to disrupt the integration of auditory and visual information.

본 논문에서는 G.711 패킷 손실 은닉 알고리즘의 성능향상을 위해 적응적 신호 크기 예측을 사용하는 패킷 손실 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 방법은 연속 손실이 발생하였을 때 20 %의 감쇠인자를 가지고 이득조절을 수행하였다. 그러나 이 방법은 신호의 변화를 고려하지 않기 때문에 신호가 왜곡되는 경우가 발생한다. 따라서 Least Mean Square(LMS) 예측기를 사용하여 이전과 이후 프레임의 정보를 통한 적응적 신호 크기 예측으로 이득을 조절하는 것을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능 평가는 Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality(PESQ) 평가를 통하여 나타내었다.

PCI Express는 고속 차동신호를 사용한 점대점(point-to-point) 프로토콜로 시스템 설계 시 Eye Diagram을 통한 신호의 손실(Loss)과 지터(Jitter) 분석이 필요하다. 특히 PCI Express Gen3 물리 신호는 8Gbps의 고속 직렬신호로 고속신호분석에 의한 시스템 설계가 반드시 요구된다. 본 논문은 PCI Express Gen3 서버 연결망 스위치카드 시스템 제작을 통하여 고속 직렬신호의 토폴로지 추출, 채널분석, 채널의 S-파라미터 추출 및 송수신 버퍼를 포함한 시스템의 신호분석 시뮬레이션을 다룬다. 채널의 손실을 보안하기 위해 수신단 Eye diagram 분석을 통하여 송신 버퍼의 이퀄라이저 파라미터를 조정하여 송신단 최적의 De-emphasis와 Preshoot 파라미터 값을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 찾고 있다.

Applebaum 타입의 beam forming 알고리듬을 사용하는 어댑티브 어레이에서 간섭신호가 원하는 신호와 매우 근접해 있을 때의 출력 신호 대 간섭 잡음비의 간단한 근사식을 도출하였다. 이 근사식은 어레이 크기, 원하는 신호와 간섭신호의 입사각 차이의 함수로 표현된다. 이 근사식에 의해 정해진 성능열화를 유발하는 간섭신호의 입사각 위치를 결정하는 식을 도출하였다. 제안된 근사식은 원하는 신호와 간섭신호가 8 도 이내의 입사각 차이를 유지할 때 컴퓨터로 계산한 정확한 신호 대 간섭 잡음비의 값과 1 dB 이내의 오차를 유지함을 보였다. 또한 어레이 엘리먼트의 숫자가 늘어남에 따라 간섭신호가 원하는 신호에 근접할 수 있는 정도도 더 늘어남을 보였다.

This paper is to investigate propagation path characteristics of GPS potential jamming signal. To do this, the spherical ground diffraction model is applied to the potential jamming scenario referred to the GPS jamming events occurred in recent years. The fundamental theory on the propagation path loss is discussed and a specific model is applied to several vehicles types which have own heights of antennas in order to compare their propagation path loss values at same 2-D location. The transmitting powers are appropriately given as the ordinary GPS jamming events. And then the received powers in dBW are obtained with given transmitting powers and the estimated total loss. The result of received jamming power at various locations due to the given scenario was distinct. For example, propagation loss values were estimated as -147 ~ -142dBW and -167 ~ -162dBW in $10^6W$ and $10^4W$, respectively. This computation result of the loss can be seriously considered with the tolerable jammer power against L1- C/A GPS receiver under any real jamming situations.

In order to estimate the detection range of a active SONAR system, the SONAR equation is commonly used. In this paper, an algorithm to calculate detection range in active SONAR system as function of SONAR depth and target depth is presented. For given SONAR parameters and environment, the transmission loss and background level are found, signal excess is computed. Using log-normal distribution, signal excess is converted to detection probability at each range. Then, the detection range is obtained by integrating the detection probability as function of range for each depth. The proposed algorithm have been applied to the case of omni-directional source with center frequency 30Hz for summer and winter sound profiles. It is found that the optimal search depth is the source depth since the detection range increase at source depth where the signal excess is maximized.

Robustness, payload, and imperceptibility of audio watermarking algorithms are contradictory design issues with high-level security of the watermark. In this study, the major issue in achieving high payload along with adequate robustness against challenging signal-processing attacks is addressed. Moreover, a security code has been strategically used for secure transmission of data, providing tamper detection at the receiver end. The high watermark payload in this work has been achieved by using the complementary features of third-level detailed coefficients of discrete wavelet transform where the human auditory system is not sensitive to alterations in the audio signal. To counter the watermark loss under challenging attacks at high payload, Daubechies wavelets that have an orthogonal property and provide smoother frequencies have been used, which can protect the data from loss under signal-processing attacks. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm has demonstrated adequate robustness against signal processing attacks at 4,884.1 bps. Among the evaluators, 87% have rated the proposed algorithm to be remarkable in terms of transparency.

In order to enhance receive sensitivity in noisy environment, the previous initial synchronization method of GPS receiver for reference stations adopts not only the coherent integration method but also the non-coherent integration method. However, the previous GPS initial synchronization method causes the non-coherent integration loss, which is a dominant factor among the signal acquisition losses in noisy environment. And the non-coherent integration loss increases with the strength of noise signal. In this pa-per, a GPS initial synchronization method is proposed to enhance receive sensitivity of GPS receiver for reference stations in noisy environment. This paper presents that the proposed GPS initial synchronization method suppresses the non-coherent integration loss. Furthermore, with regard to the mean acquisition time, it is shown that the number of the search cells of the proposed GPS initial synchronization method is much fewer than that of the previous GPS initial synchronization method.
