Differential unitary space-time modulation (DUSTM) has emerged as a promising technique to obtain spatial diversity without intractable channel estimation. This paper presents a study of the application of DUSTM on multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems with frequency-selective fading channels. From the view of a correlation analysis between subcarriers of OFDM, we obtain the maximum achievable diversity of DUSTM on MIMO-OFDM systems. Moreover, an efficient implementation strategy based on subcarrier reconstruction is proposed, which transmits all the signals of one signal matrix in one OFDM transmission and performs differential processing between two adjacent OFDM blocks. The proposed method is capable of obtaining both spatial and multipath diversity while reducing the effect of time variation of channels to a minimum. The performance improvement is confirmed by simulation results.

본 논문에서는 마이크로폰 어레이를 통해 수신한 화자의 음성신호를 이용하여 추출된 공간정보를 통해 화자의 위치를 실시간으로 추적하는 알고리듬을 개선하고 이를 실시간으로 구현하였다. 기존의 대표적인 화자 위치 추정 알고리듬인 CPSP (Cross Power, Spectrum Phase) 함수는 상호 상관관계 (Cross Correlation)가 정규화 되어있는 형태를 갖는데, CPSP 함수의 최대값 인덱스로부터 화자의 공간정보인 TDOA(Time Difference Of Arrival)를 추출하게 된다. 그러나 CPSP함수를 이용한 공간정보 추정 알고리듬은 실내환경에서 심각하게 일어나는 반향신호에 대해서 취약한 단점을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 저주파 위상 복원 알고리듬은 주파수 측면에서 반향신호가CPSP함수에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 반향으로 인하여 왜곡된 위상 성분을 복원함으로써 보다 신뢰도 있는 TDOA 추정을 가능하게 한다. 반향신호로 인한 CPSP의 위상은 저주파보다 고주파에서 심하게 왜곡되는데, 각각의 반향신호의 도달 시간을 기하학적 분포를 갖는 확률변수로 모델링하여 이를 수학적으로 증명하였다. 제안한 시스템의 성능분석을 위해 DSP를 이용한 실시간 시스템을 구현하여 기존 CPSP 알고리듬과 제안된 알고리듬을 적용한 시스템을 실제 환경에서 비교 실험을 수행한 결과 제안된 알고리듬을 적용한 시스템에서 약 15샘플 이상 TDOA 추정 오차가 줄어들고 있음을 확인하였다.

Short-time Fourier transforms(STFT)은 시간에 따라 변동하는 조화성분을 가지는 신호의 분석에 유용하게 적용되는 방법이다. 철도차량의 진동신호에서 많이 발견되는 운동학적 진동은 조화 특성이 속도 변화에 따라 점진적으로 변하기 때문에 오더 분석 방법과 상관함수를 이용하면 STFT 분석 방법을 개선할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 차량의 속도 신호를 구할 수 없거나 잡음이 많을 때 상관함수를 이용하여 신호를 재추출하여 오더 분석을 적용하는 방법에 대하여 다룬다. 이 방법을 한국형고속열차의 운행 중에 취득한 차축 및 차체 진동데이터의 분석에 적용하여 기존의 STFT와 오더 분석을 이용한 방법을 비교 하였다.

In order to achieve fast computational speed with good visual quality of output video, we propose a frequency domain based new fractal video compression scheme. Normalized cross correlation is used to find the structural self similar domain block for the input range block. To increase the searching speed, cross correlation is implemented in the frequency domain using FFT with one computational operation for all the domain blocks instead of individual block wise calculations. The encoding time is further minimized by applying rotation and reflection DFT properties to the IFFT of zero padded range blocks. The energy of overlap small size domain blocks is pre-computed for the entire reference frame and retaining the energies of the overlapped search window portion of previous adjacent block. Quadtree decompositions are obtained by using domain block motion compensated prediction error as a threshold to control the further partitions of the block. It provides a better level of adaption to the scene contents than fixed block size approach. The result shows that, on average, the proposed method can raise the encoding speed by 48.8 % and 90 % higher than NHEXS and CPM/NCIM algorithms respectively. The compression ratio and PSNR of the proposed method is increased by 15.41 and 0.89 dB higher than that of NHEXS on average. For low bit rate videos, the proposed algorithm achieve the high compression ratio above 120 with more than 31 dB PSNR.

Background: Exercise is necessary for the health of companion dogs. It is necessary to determine the relationship between height, weight, age and amount of exercise for the purpose of companion dog's health. Objectives: A survey was conducted in this study to small-dog owners living in Yongin city, Gyeonggi-do about their canine healthcare awareness. Design: Questionnaire design. Methods: The questionnaire was composed of exercise amount, type of exercise, and the necessity of exercise, general health condition, and environment. A total of 139 survey results were obtained. The average value of each item was analyzed and expressed in terms of frequency and percentage. Then, Pearson's correlation coefficients were used to find the relationship between these items. Results: The weight and height were not shown to have a significant difference in the amount of exercise in the results. The weight had a weak positive correlation with "exercise time of canine per day". The age had a weak negative correlation with "the number of canine exercise per week" and "frequency of canine exercise per day", while it had a weak positive correlation with "self-assessment of canine lack of exercise". Conclusion: Based on this study, it is believed that in the future, various environments where dogs can exercise are believed to be necessary for the era of convergence.

One of the most important topics about the safety of electrical and electronic system is the reliability of the wiring system. The Time-Frequency Domain Reflectometry(TFDR) is a state-of-the-art system for detecting and estimating of the fault on a wiring. In this paper, We've considered the load resistance measurement on a coaxial cable using TFDR in a way of expanded application. The TFDR system was built using commercial Pci extensions for Instrumentation(PXI) and LabVIEW. The proposed real time TFDR system consisted of the reference signal design, signal generation, signal acquisition, algorithm execution and results display part. To implement real time system, all of the parts were programmed by the LabVIEW which is one of the graphical programming languages. Using the application software implemented by the LabVIEW, we were able to design a proper reference signal which is suitable for target cable and control not only the arbitrary waveform generator in the signal generation part but alto the digital storage oscilloscope in the signal acquisition part. By using the TFDR real time system with the terminal resistor on the target cable, we carried out load impedance measurement experiments. The experimental results showed that the proposed system are able not only to detect the location of impedance discontinuity on the cable but also to estimate the load resistance with high accuracy.

Identification of the whipping response out of the combined wave-vibration response of a flexible sea going vessel is one of the most interesting research topic from ship designer's point of view. In order to achieve this goal, a novel methodology based on the wavelet cross-correlation technique was proposed in this paper. The cross-correlation of the wavelet power spectrum averaged across the frequency axis was introduced to check the similarity between the combined wave-vibration response and impulse response. The calculated cross-correlation of the wavelet power spectrum was normalized by the auto-correlation of the each spectrum with zero time lag, eventually providing the cross-correlation coefficient that stays between 0 and 1, precisely indicating the existence of the impulse response buried in the combined wave-vibration response. Additionally, the weight function was introduced while calculating the cross-correlation of the two spectrums in order to filter out the signal of lower frequency so that the accuracy of the similarity check becomes as high as possible. The validity of the proposed methodology was checked through the application to the artificially generated ideal combined wave-vibration signal, together with the more realistic signal obtained by running 3D hydroelasticity program WISH-Flex. The correspondence of the identified whipping instances between the results, one from the proposed method and the other from the calculated slamming modal force, was excellent.

본 논문에서는 MB-OFDM 기반 UWB 시스템을 위한 효율적인 주파수 옵셋 추정 기법을 제안한다. MB-OFDM 시스템에서 사용되는 시간-주파수 인터리빙 기법은 동일 서브 밴드 내에서 전송되는 두 OFDM 심볼간의 시간 간격을 늘어나게 한다. 이로 인해 주파수 옵셋의 추정 범위가 감소되어 시스템 성능이 열화될 뿐 아니라 저장해야 할 샘플 수가 증가하여 하드웨어 복잡도가 높아질 수 있다. 제안된 주파수 옵셋 추정 기법은 제안된 부호 검출 기법의 적용을 통하여 추정 범위를 확장시킨다. 모의실험 결과, 최대 추정 값이 기존 방식에 비해 약 30ppm 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 세 개의 서브 밴드 중 하나에서만 주파수 옵셋을 추정하고 나머지는 관계식을 이용해 계산하는 방식으로 저장해야 할 샘플 수를 기존 방식의 약 1/3 정도로 감소시켰다. 제안된 기법이 적용된 주파수 옵셋 추정기는 하드웨어 오버 헤드를 최소화하기 위해 연산기와 메모리 유닛을 공유하는 구조로 설계되었으며 $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS 표준 셀 라이브러리를 이용하여 약 47K 개의 논리 게이트로 합성되었다.

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.

This work analyzes the performance of implementable detectors for the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technique under specific and realistic operation system conditions, including antenna correlation and array configuration. A time-domain channel model was used to evaluate the system performance under realistic communication channel and system scenarios, including different channel correlation, modulation order, and antenna array configurations. Several MIMO-OFDM detectors were analyzed for the purpose of achieving high performance combined with high capacity systems and manageable computational complexity. Numerical Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate the channel selectivity effect, while the impact of the number of antennas, adoption of linear against heuristic-based detection schemes, and the spatial correlation effect under linear and planar antenna arrays are analyzed in the MIMO-OFDM context.
