In this paper, we demonstrate a Non-Foster matching method for an electrically small antenna to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of communication link. For the experiment, we used a general FM antenna whose resonance frequency is about 52-57 MHz and a floating type Linvill negative impedance converter(NIC)-based circuit as a Non-Foster matching element. By implementing the Non-Foster circuit to cover FM band, we can achieve a wide bandwidth matching covers 40-200 MHz. Our measurement shows 3-7 dB improvement of SNR for the same bandwidth though there are several spikes which means no improvement of SNR in the band.

영상 처리 시스템의 신호는 전송과정에서 여러 가지 원인으로 열화가 발생된다. 열화는 영상 신호에 잡음이 첨가되는 것이며 열화를 발생시키는 대표적이 잡음에는 salt and pepper 잡음이 대표적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 salt and pepper 잡음 환경에서 훼손된 영상을 복원하기 위해, 국부 마스크을 8방향으로 세분화하여 각 방향의 화소 변화에 따라 가중치를 적용하여 처리하는 영상 복원 필터를 제안하였다. 그리고 개선 효과의 객관적 판단 기준으로 PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio)을 사용하여 기존의 방법들과 비교하였다.

A narrow loop noise bandwidth method is desirable to reduce the error of raw measurements due to the thermal noise. However, it degrades the performance of GPS initial synchronization such as mean acquisition time. And it restricts the loop noise bandwidth to a fixed value determined by the lower bound of the allowable range of carrier-to-noise power ratio, so that it is difficult to optimally track GPS signal. In order to make up for the weak points of the fixed-type narrow loop noise bandwidth method and simultaneously minimize the error of code and carrier measurements, this paper proposes a stepwise-type adaptive bandwidth algorithm for DGPS reference receivers. In this paper, it is shown that the proposed adaptive bandwidth algorithm can provide more accurate measurements than those of the fixed-type narrow loop noise bandwidth method, in view of analyzing the simulation results between two signal tracking algorithms. This paper also carries out sensitivity analysis of the proposed adaptive bandwidth algorithm due to the estimation uncertainty of carrier-to-noise power ratio. Finally the analysis results are verified by the experiment using GPS simulator.

First-order Gauss-Marker신호가 delta변조기에 즉가되어 granular잡음이 발생될 경우에 신호대잡음화의 표시식을 구하고, 또한 근사식에 관하여 고찰하였다. 입력신호의 adjacent correlation값과 local decoder의 prediction coefficient값간의 차에 비하여 adjacent correlation값이 클 경우에는, 입력신호와 오차신호간의 cross covariance값이 징소하므로 간단한 근사식으로 나타내었다. 이 경우에 임의의 adjacent correlation값에 대하여 적용될 수 있는 근사식을 나타내었다.

The Instrumental Variable Method(IVM), modified from least square algorithm, is applied to parameter identification of a noise contaminated bearing test rig. The signal to noise ratio included in Frequency Response Function(FRF) can cause significant errors in parameter identification. Therefore, among several candidates of parameter identification method, results of the applied IVM were compared with noise-contaminated least square method. This study shows that the noise-contaminated least square method can have indonsistent accuracy depending on the degree of noise level, while the IVM has robuster performance to signal to noise ratio than least square method.

의료영상에서 화질저하를 최소화 하면서 Noise를 감소시키기 위하여 Noise가 첨가되어 있는 영상을 대상으로 Low Pass Filter(LPF) 5종, High Pass Filter(HPF) 4종, Median Filter(MF) 11종의 모두 20개의 필터를 복합적으로 사용하여 Noise 제거효과를 검토하였다. Noise를 나타내는 지표로 Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR), Mean Square Error(MSE)를 비교하였다. 그 결과 Noise 감소효과가 가장 높은 필터의 조합은 LPF3*3#1 + HPF3*3#1 + Vertical3*1로 나타났다. 이 필터의 조합을 흉부, 골반, 머리 등의 의료영상에 적용하여 임상적인 Noise 제거효과를 확인하였다.

In wireless communications, knowledge of the signal-to-noise ratio is required in diverse communication applications. In this paper, we derive the variance of the maximum likelihood estimator in the data-aided and non-data-aided schemes for determining the optimal shrinkage factor. The shrinkage factor is usually the constant that is multiplied by the unbiased estimate and it increases the bias slightly while considerably decreasing the variance so that the overall mean squared error decreases. The closed-form biased estimators for binary-phase-shift-keying and quadrature phase-shift-keying systems are then obtained. Simulation results show that the mean squared error of the proposed method is lower than that of the maximum likelihood method for low and moderate signal-to-noise ratio conditions.

In this paper, we used the inter-bit noise detection method in order to reduce the effects of noise light in a visible light identification system that uses a visible LED as a carrier source. A visible light identification system consists of a reader and a transponder. When the enable signal from the reader is detected, the transponder encodes the response data in RZ(Return-to-Zero) bit stream and sends response signal by modulating a visible LED. The reader detects the response signal mixed with noise light, samples the noise voltage in each blank low time between data bits of the RZ signal, and recovers the original data by subtracting the sampled noise from the received signal. In experiments, we improved the signal-to-noise ratio by 20dB using the inter-bit noise detection method.

In this paper, we present a QRS-complex detection algorithm to calculate an accurate heartbeat and clearly recognize irregular rhythm from ECG signals. The conventional Pan-Tompkins algorithm brings false QRS detection in the derivative when QRS and noise signals have similar instant variation. The proposed algorithm uses amplitude differences in 7 adjacent samples to detect QRS-complex which has the highest amplitude variation. The calculated amplitude is cubed to dominate QRS-complex and the moving average method is applied to diminish the noise signal's amplitude. Finally, a decision rule with a threshold value is applied to detect accurate QRS-complex. The calculated signals with Pan-Tompkins and proposed algorithms were compared by signal-to-noise ratio to evaluate the noise reduction degree. QRS-complex detection performance was confirmed by sensitivity and the positive predictive value(PPV). Normal ECG, muscle noise ECG, PVC, and atrial fibrillation signals were achieved which were measured from an ECG simulator. The signal-to-noise ratio difference between Pan-Tompkins and the proposed algorithm were 8.1, 8.5, 9.6, and 4.7, respectively. All ratio of the proposed algorithm is higher than the Pan-Tompkins values. It indicates that the proposed algorithm is more robust to noise than the Pan-Tompkins algorithm. The Pan-Tompkins algorithm and the proposed algorithm showed similar sensitivity and PPV at most waveforms. However, with a noisy atrial fibrillation signal, the PPV for QRS-complex has different values, 42% for the Pan-Tompkins algorithm and 100% for the proposed algorithm. It means that the proposed algorithm has superiority for QRS-complex detection in a noisy environment.
