A novel peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction method is proposed for single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) signals. The proposed method deliberately distorts the amplitude values of a few of the complex modulated symbols that cause peaks beyond a predetermined threshold in the samples of the output signal. The method then marks the location indices of the distorted symbols by using a pilot block at the transmitter without transmitting side information. At the receiver, the method is then able to recover the distorted amplitude values through the marked location indices. Computer simulation results show that when compared to conventional SC-FDMA signals, the proposed scheme can effectively reduce the PAPR of SC-FDMA signals with asymptotically consistent bit error rate (BER) performance.

The capacitance of nonlinear component such as a CMOS inverter varies largely around the threshold voltage. We measured the far-end crosstalk of two parallel microstrip lines with the CMOS inverter load near the threshold voltage of the CMOS inverter, The negative voltage of the crosstalk agrees with that for a 4pF capacitor toad. The positive voltage of the crosstalk hardly changes of the amplitude of the input step voltage.

일반적인 부정맥 분류 방법의 경우 심방 박동 수와 관련한 PP간격, P모양의 다양성과 같은 조건을 이용하는데, 잡음으로 인해 정확한 P파의 검출이 어렵기 때문에 잡음의 영향을 비교적 적게 받는 R파를 이용하는 것이 유리하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 R파 중심의 ECG(electrocardiography) 패턴 분석과 템플릿 문턱치를 도입하여 조기수축 부정맥 분류 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 형태 연산을 통한 전 처리 과정과 차감 동작 기법을 통해 R파를 검출하였다. 이후 RR 간격의 평균 가중치와 변화율을 이용하여 먼저 조기수축 파형의 패턴을 분류하고, R파의 진폭에 대한 템플릿 문턱값을 통해 조기심실수축과 조기심방수축을 분류하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 제안한 방법의 우수성을 입증하기 위해 조기 심방과 심실수축이 30개 이상 포함된 MIT-BIH 6개의 레코드를 대상으로 한 R파의 평균 검출율은 99.77%의 성능을 나타내었고, 조기심실수축과 심방수축 부정맥은 각각 94.91%와 95.76%의 평균 분류율을 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 유리섬유강화 복합재료 가스실린더의 복합재료의 파괴시 발생하는 음향방출신호의 특성을 살펴보기 위하여 실린더의 외부를 감싸고 있는 복합재료를 유리섬유묶음과 시편으로 가공하여 파괴시험을 실시하였다. 유리섬유묶음에 칼날을 압입하여 유리섬유가 파괴될 때 발생한 음향방출 신호의 진폭은 칼날의 절단각도가 커짐에 따라 유리섬유의 절단면이 증가되어 음향방출신호의 진폭이 증가되는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 복합재료 시편파괴시 감긴방향 파괴는 수직방향 파괴에 비해 hit 수는 적지만 섬유 절단각이 커짐에 따라 진폭은 높게 나타났다. 섬유감긴방향으로 시편파괴시 신호문턱값을 32 dB로 설정했을 경우는 40 dB로 설정했을 때는 나타나지 않았던 기지파괴 신호가 급격하게 나타나는 것으로 보아 기지파괴시 신호진폭은 40 dB 이하이고 유리섬유 파괴신호의 진폭은 40 dB이상 임을 알 수 있었다. 음향방출 신호의 진폭기울기는 음향방출원과 관련이 있으며, 섬유감긴방향으로 칼날을 압입했을 때 그 기울기는 0.08이고 수직방향일 때는 0.16로 구분되었다. 특히 수직방향 파괴의 경우 유리섬유묶음의 절단시 나타나는 진폭 기울기와 유사하여 시편의 수직방향파괴시 발생하는 신호의 주 음향방출원은 유리섬유파괴로 추정할 수 있다.

The failure phenomenon of Dual Basalt Fibers Reinforced Epoxy Composites(DFC) under tensile load was studied using acoustic emission(AE) technique. AE amplitude and AE energy were mainly associated with the internal microscopic failure mechanism of DFC specimen, such as fiber fracture, matrix cracking, and fiber/matrix debonding. Fiber failures in the DFC specimens were distinguishable by showing the highest AE energy amplitude. They were dependant on the fiber diameters. Matrix cracking was determined from the relatively lower AE amplitude and AE energy, whereas fiber/matrix debonding could not be successfully isolated. AE method, however, can be applicable to the fragmentation method for interfacial strength(IFSS) in DFC specimens with adjusting the threshold to isolate fiber breaks from matrix crack and debonding.

This paper describes the measurement of pulse positioning (input time) to calculate a time of arrival (TOA) that takes from transmitting a signal from the target of multilateration (MLAT) system to receiving the signal at the receiver. In this regard, this paper analyzes performances of simple threshold method and level adjust system (LAS) method, which is one of the adaptive threshold detector (ATD) methods, among many methods to calculate pulse positioning of signal received at the receiver. To this end, Cramer-rao lower bound (CRLB) with regard to pulse positioning, which was measured when signals transmitted from a transponder mounted at the target were received at the receiver, was induced and then deviation sizes with regard to pulse positioning, which was measured with simple threshold and LAS methods through MATLAB simulations, were compared. Next, problems occurring according to a difference in amplitude of signals inputted to each receiver are described when pulse positioning is measured at multiple receivers located at a different distance from the target as is the case in the MLAT system. Furthermore, LAS method to resolve the problems is explained. Lastly, this study analyzes whether a pulse positioning error occurring due to the signal noise satisfies the requirement (6 nsec. or lower) recommended for the MLAT system when using these two methods.

Since it is difficult to analytically express the Melnikov function when a dynamic system possesses multiple saddle fixed points with homoclinic and/or heteroclinic orbits, this paper investigates a vehicle model with nonlinear suspension spring and hysteretic damping element, which exhibits multiple heteroclinic orbits in the unperturbed system. First, an algorithm for Melnikov integrals is developed based on the Melnikov method. And then the amplitude threshold of road excitation at the onset of chaos is determined. By numerical simulation, the existence of chaos in the present system is verified via time history curves, phase portrait plots and $Poincar{\acute{e}}$ maps. Finally, in order to further identify the chaotic motion of the nonlinear system, the maximal Lyapunov exponent is also adopted. The results indicate that the numerical method of estimating chaotic threshold is an effective one to complicated vehicle systems.

The effect of the microstructural change on the near threshold fatigue crack growth rate in SM40C steel has been studied using the ${\Delta}K$ decreasing method. Below the total strain amplitude of 0.56%, cyclic softening occured, whereas above this value cyclic hardening occurred in the pearlitic lamellar structure. However, in the spherodized structure the cyclic hardening solely occurred. The crack growth rate in the near-threshold region was decreased with increasing prior austenite grain size and this was due to surface roughness. The crack growth rate of the spherodized structure was lower than that of the pearlite lamellar structure and the ${\Delta}K_{th}$ of the former was higher than that of the latter. It was understood that the crack propagates preferentially through the ferrite phase. The intergranular facets in the near-threshold region appeared in the spherodized structure.

This study is about to evaluation of postural stability according to characteristics of electrical stimulation on the ankle muscles. We measured body sway(center of pressure, COP) when various parameters of electrical stimulation was applied to ankle muscles in stable and unstable posture. Subjects consisted of 10 young adults, and electrical stimulation was delivered on right and left of tibialis anterior and Achilles tendon. The body sway was measured during electrical stimulation of three duty cycle and frequencies in stable posture and three amplitudes of sensory threshold in unstable posture. Consequently, the COP Shift is higher during electrical stimulation of 1/30(duty ratio) and 100Hz(frequency) in stable posture. In unstable posture, 100% amplitude of sensory threshold induced postural stability. These findings are important for the rehabilitation system of postural stability and the use of electrical stimulation as somatosensory information.
