In this paper a super-resolution time delay estimation algorithm is developed for real-time locating systems (RTLSs) that employ a direct-sequence spread spectrum technique, along with its performance analysis in multipath environments. The classical correlation method provides relatively good performance in line-of-sight (LOS) environments but its performance seriously degrades in multipath environments, especially when signals are spaced closer than a PN chip. Therefore we shall develop a super-resolution time delay estimation algorithm that may estimate the time delays of multipath signals even in closely spaced multipath environments using the MUSIC algorithm for direction-of-arrival estimation and analyze its performance by applying the algorithm to the ISO/IEC 24730-2.1 RTLS system.

This paper presents several techniques of power spectrum estimation for high impedance fault detection. High impedance faults are those faults with current too low to be reliably cleared by conventional overcurrent protection. So power spectrum estimation is required. AR and MA techniques require optimal order for good performance of power spectrum estimation because these techniques are unstable for order selection. ARMA and Extended techniches are stable for order selection and have very sharp response. So ARMA and Extended Prony techniques are suitable for our purpose.

Background: Industrial X-ray CT system is normally applied to non-destructive testing (NDT) for industrial product made from metal. Furthermore there are some special CT systems, which have an ability to inspect nuclear fuel assemblies or rocket motors, using high power and high energy (more than 6 MeV) pulsed X-ray source. In these case, pulsed X-ray are produced by the electron linear accelerator, and a huge number of photons with a wide energy spectrum are produced within a very short period. Consequently, it is difficult to measure the X-ray energy spectrum for such accelerator-based X-ray sources using simple spectrometry. Due to this difficulty, unexpected images and artifacts which lead to incorrect density information and dimensions of specimens cannot be avoided in CT images. For getting highly precise CT images, it is important to know the precise energy spectrum of emitted X-rays. Materials and Methods: In order to realize it we investigated a new approach utilizing the Bayesian estimation method combined with an attenuation curve measurement using step shaped attenuation material. This method was validated by precise measurement of energy spectrum from a 1 MeV electron accelerator. In this study, to extend the applicable X-ray energy range we tried to measure energy spectra of X-ray sources from 6 and 9 MeV linear accelerators by using the recently developed method. Results and Discussion: In this study, an attenuation curves are measured by using a step-shaped attenuation materials of aluminum and steel individually, and the each X-ray spectrum is reconstructed from the measured attenuation curve by the spectrum type Bayesian estimation method. Conclusion: The obtained result shows good agreement with simulated spectra, and the presently developed technique is adaptable for high energy X-ray source more than 6 MeV.

This paper describes the overview of spectrum requirement estimation recommended in ITU-R Rec. M.1390 and [IMT.METH] and its difference for the IMT mobile service, and a (IMT.METH) methodology is applied to the spectrum estimation of the recent IMT service. The traffic model and traffic calculation algorithm is briefly described for the carried traffic which is determined in terms of the offered traffic, system rapacity, and the criteria of quality of service. And the spectrum requirement demand which is required from year 2010 to year 2015 is calculated as an example for the IMT service which is recently operated and deployed in the current Korean market after obtaining the reasonable market data and the ITU market prediction data.

In this paper, we investigate and analyze the problems encountered in frame-based estimation of TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival) using CPSP function. Spectral leakage occurring in framing of a speech signal by a rectangular window makes estimation of CPSP spectrum inaccurate. Framing with a Hamming window to reduce the spectral leakage effect distorts the signal due to the different weighting at temporally same sample, which make the TDOA estimation using CPSP function inaccurate. In this paper, we solve this problem by reducing the dynamic range of the spectrum of a speech signal with preemphasis. Experimental results confirm that the framing of pre-emphasized microphone output with a rectangular window shows higher success ratio of TDOA estimation than any other framing methods.

In this study, for estimating responses of a controlled structure and determining the maximum control force of velocity-dependent damping devices, three estimation models such as Fourier envelope convex model, probability model, and Newmark design spectrum are used. For this purpose, a procedure proposed by Gupta (1990) for estimating spectral velocity using pseudo-spectral velocity which is given by the estimation models is used and modified to consider the effects of increased damping ratio by the damping device. Time history results indicate that Newmark design spectrum gives the best estimation of maximum control force for over all period structures.

For the remote sensing purpose, radar systems extract the target information, such as the magnitude of reflectivity and the velocity from the spectrum analysis of return echoes through the Doppler filter bank. This conventional spectrum estimation method, FFT(Fast fourier Transform) is widely used in most radar systems. However, the frequency resolution of return echoes can be seriously degraded in fast moving targets because of the short acquisition time. Since the high Doppler frequency resolution is important in the detection and tracking of fast moving targets, it can cause very unsatisfactory results. Therefore, in this paper, the parameter spectrum estimation method called AR(Autoregressive) spectrum estimation, is investigated to overcome these problems.

Compressed sensing (CS) possesses the potential benefits for spectrum sensing of wideband signal in cognitive radio. The sparsity of signal in frequency domain denotes the number of occupied channels for spectrum sensing. This paper presents a scheme of adaptively adjusting the number of compressed measurements to reduce the unnecessary computational complexity when priori information about the sparsity of signal cannot be acquired. Firstly, a method of sparsity estimation is introduced because the sparsity of signal is not available in some cognitive radio environments, and the relationship between the amount of used data and estimation accuracy is discussed. Then the SNR of the compressed signal is derived in the closed form. Based on the SNR of the compressed signal and estimated sparsity, an adaptive algorithm of adjusting the number of compressed measurements is proposed. Finally, some simulations are performed, and the results illustrate that the simulations agree with theoretical analysis, which prove the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive adjusting of compressed measurements.

Position estimation in indoor is significant problem, because GPS which is usually used for outdoor positioning cannot be utilized to indoor positioning. Sensor network can be a solution for the positioning. Recently, chirp spread spectrum(CSS) specified in IEEE 802.15.4a provides an ability of ranging. Based on the results of the ranging, a position of a CSS node can be calculated by using trilateration. In this case, Kalman filter can be applied to the trilateration because of the measurement noise. In this paper, we apply the unscented Kalman filter for the trilateration. The trilateration can be represented to a nonlinear state space equation, and the unscented Kalman filter is suitable for nonlinear state space equation. Through the experimental results. we show the accuracy of the estimated position.

A scheme for missing-trace interpolation of linear events is proposed. For a two-dimensional seismic dataset which contains linear events, a post-interpolation spectrum can be estimated from a portion of the original aliased spectrum. The restoration of missing trace data is accomplished by minimizing the energy after applying a filter which has an amplitude spectrum that is inverse to the estimated spectrum.
