Preamble based synchronization result in performance degradation due to the high time variation in the power delay profile of the channel in fast varying channel. Since most of the timing metric that exploit the preamble is not based on theoretical back ground, it is not easy to find out the reason. In this paper, the behavior of the timing metric in the multipath fading channel is explained.

Recently, the PPP (Public-Private-Participate) program on water and wastewater services in Korea has been under an active debate. However, the controversy has reached the limits of getting more valuable implications from past foreign experience beyond conceptual and/or qualitative case studies. This paper analyze scientifically and quantitatively the Buenos Aires Water Concession Project focused on propriety of the contract using system dynamics modeling. The results show that Buenos Aires's Project has several problems in the contract phase even though Argentina government spent much time to design it. Analysis results suggest that estimation of K factor considering delay effect and future uncertainty, reduction of the first fixed terms of contract, etc., are needed for a proper contract.

This paper discusses the dependence of the convergence rate on the acoustic error path in these popular algorithms and introduces new algorithms which increase the convergence region regardless of the time-delay in the acoustic error path. We also Propose a novel control algorithm (AFC/CAFC) for tonal noise cancellation. The proposed algorithm estimates the magnitude and phase of the tonal noise. The algorithm uses the steepest descent method for the phase/magnitude estimation. Performances of tile CAFC algorithm are presented in comparison with those by the AFC algorithm based on computer simulations and experiments.

For implementing the proportional navigation guidance law on passive homing missiles equipped with strapdown imaging infrared seekers, the line-of-sight angles and rates with respect to the inertial frame should be estimated by carefully handling the parasitic instability effect due to the seeker's latency. By introducing a new state vector representation along with the Pade approximation for compensating the time-delay of the seeker, this paper proposes a new guidance filter structure, stochastic dynamic models and measurement equations, in three-dimensional homing problem. Then, it derives the line-of-sight angle and rate estimator in general two-dimensional engagement by applying the extended Kalman filter to the proposed structure. The estimation performance and the characteristics of the proposed filter were evaluated via a series of numerical experiments.

There have been many approaches to solve the disturbance rejection problem in the control of LTI systems with state independent disturbances or possibly nonlinear state dependent disturbances. From the view point of each actuator, robot manipulators can be modeled as the second class of systems. With this model, M.Nakao et al. [1] introduced a decentralized control scheme based on interference estimation which is simple in its implementation and robust to the coupled dynamics and parameter variations. This paper systematically generalizes the control scheme to arbitrary finite dimensional LTI systems with disturbances. In doing so, we develop a disturbance observer theory for solving the disturbance rejection problem. We also present a discrete version of the theory with discussion of sampling and time-delay effects.

The cross-correlation technique has been widely used for leakage detection of buried pipes, and this technique can be successfully applied when the leakage signal has a high signal-to-noise ratio. In the case of a power plant, the measured leakage signals obtained from the sensors may contain background noise and mechanical noise generated by adjacent machinery. In such a case, the conventional method using the cross-correlation function may fail to estimate the leakage point. In order to enhance the leakage estimation capability of a buried pipe in a noisy environment, an improved cross-correlation technique is proposed. It uses a noise rejection technique in the frequency domain to effectively eliminate the tonal noise due to rotating machinery. Experiments were carried out to verify the validity of the proposed method. The results show that even in a tonal noisy environment, the proposed method can provide more reliable means for estimating the time delay of the leakage signals.

The optimal glucose concentration for the high-density culture of recombinant yeasts was obtained using dynamic simulation. An adaptive and predictive algoritilm complimented by the rule base was proposed for the control of the fed-batch fermentation process. The measurement of process variables has relatively long sampling period and relatively long time delay characteristics. As one of the solution on these problems, prediction techniques and rule bases were added to a classical recursive identification and control algorithm. Rule bases were used in the determination of control input considering the difference between the predicted value and the measured value. A mathelnatical model was used in the estimation and interpretation of the changes of state variables and parameters. Better performances were obtained by employing the control algorithm proposed in the present study compared to the conventional adaptive control method.

여러 음원들에 의해 형성된 파동장내에서 각 신호음의 주파수 특성과 시간 지연 (time delay)을 추정할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 이 알고리즘의 관련 수식은 두 개의 상호 간섭하는 신호가 입사하고 여기에 주변 환경에 의한 랜덤 잡음이 첨가된다고 가정하여 유도되었으며 두 개 이상의 신호음이 있는 상황에 대해 확장이 가능하다. 본 논문에서 시간 지연이 일정한 수신 신호 영역에 등간격으로 놓여진 수신기로부터 각 센서에 수신된 신호의 스펙트럼은 M개의 센서에 대해 K개의 음원 스펙트럼과 K개의 조정 벡터(steering vector) 의 선형 조합(linear combination)으로 주파수에서 모델된다. 각 음원의 주파수 특성과 음원 으로 들어오는 신호의 입사각을 결정하기 위하여 본 알고리즘은 전달 행렬(transfer matrix) 을 계산하고 그 전달 행렬의 고유값(eigenvalue)과 고유벡터(eigenvector)를 분석한다. 이 고 유값들은 복소수이며 그 크기는 진폭 변환 계수를 결정한다. 위상은 수신기의 간격으로부터 시간 지연을 결정하는 기울기를 갖는 주파수의 선형 함수이다. 전달 행렬에의 입력 자료들 은 동일 간격 소자간의 cross-power spectra이다.

본 연구는 폐쇄된 임의의 공간상에서 2개의 마이크로폰 어레이를 이용하여 마이크로폰에 수신된 신호들의 도착 시간차를 추정하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 입력 음성신호를 Discrete wavelet transform을 이용하여 인간의 청각 특성과 가장 유사한 주파수 해상도를 갖도록 대역 분할한 후 각 주파수 대역에서 신호 대 잡음비를 구하여 신호 대 잡음비가 가장 높은 대역만 선택적으로 취하고 해당 대역에서만 최종적인 시간 지연 값을 추정하게 된다. 최종 시간 지연 측정에 사용된 알고리즘은 기존의 CPSP에 해당 대역의 주파수 SNR을 가중치로 주어 구하게된다. 이러한 대역 분할 가중방식은 다양한 형태의 동적인 잡음 환경 하에서 안정적인 성능을 가질 수 있다. 제안된 알고리즘은 저주파와 고주파 각각의 모의 잡음환경 하에서 컴퓨터 실험을 통해 성능을 입증하도록 한다.

Implementation of disease-warning systems often results in substantial reduction of spray frequency (Lorente et al., 2000; Madden et al., 2000). This change reduces the burden of pesticide sprays on the environment and can also delay the development of fungicide and bactericide resistance. To assess the risk of outbreaks of many foliar diseases, it is important to quantify leaf wetness duration(LWD) since activities of foliar pathogen depend on the presence of free water on host crop surface for sufficient periods of time to allow infection to occur.(omitted)
