Magnetocardiography is a very weak biomagnetic field generated from the heart. Since the magnitude of the biomagnetic field is in the order of a few pico Tesla, it is measured with a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). SQUID is a transducer converting magnetic flux to voltage, however, its range of linear conversion is very restricted. In order to overcome the narrow dynamic range. a flux locked loop is used to feedback the output field with opposite polarity to the input field so that the total Held becomes zero. This prevents the operating point of the SQUID from moving too far away from the null point thereby escape from the linear region. In this paper, an emulator for the SQUID sensor and feedback coil is proposed. Magnetic courting between the original field and the generated field by the feedback coil is emulated by electronic circuits. By using the emulator, FLL circuits are analyzed and optimized without SQUID sensors. The emulator may be used as a test signal for multi-channel gain calibration and system maintenance.

This study investigated the Brightness Temperature Difference threshold as criterion between aerosols and clouds in conjunction with radiative transfer model. Surface temperature is caused by a significant error over 50% in the BTD threshold. In addition, The BTD threshold contains the uncertainties about 20% due to the surface emissivity and 8% due to the satellite zenith angle. Therefore, we have composed the Look-up table for BTD between 11㎛and 12㎛ according to satellite zenith angle, surface temperature, and surface emissivity. The modified BTD show the enhanced signal, especially over bright surface such as desert in China. However, a weak aerosol signal over Ocean remains in the modified BTD.

Fetal monitoring is a routine procedure to obtain a record of physiologic functions during pregnancy and labor. It is required to determine fetal heart frequency accurately. There are various types of fetal heart rate(FHR) determination and the most frequently applied method is transabdominal Doppler ultrasound. However, in the case of weak or noise corrupted Doppler ultrasound signals, conventional peak detections and the autocorrelation function method have many difficulties to determine FHR precisely. Also the autocorrelation function is effected by threshold level and window size. To solve these problems, the high resolution pitch determination algorinthm is introduced to detect FHR from Doppler ultrasound signals. This scheme digitally processes Doppler ultrasound signal for digital rectification, envelope detection, decimation and correlation calculation of two interconnected segments and then FHR is determined by its maximal value. Even in the case of a greatly smeared noise signal, this algorithm is able to search FHR more accurately than autocorrelation function by means of compensating FHR with a constant correlation threshold. This algorithm is simulated by 386-MATLAB on PC 486/DX and verified that it is superior to the autocorrelation function method.

This paper describes the development of a novel islanding detection method, which uses the signal cross-corelation scheme between the injected reactive current and the power frequency deviation. The existing method, which injects the reactive current of 2.5-5% to the rated current and detects the frequency deviation directly, brings about lowing the power quality due to the harmonic pollution. The proposed method eliminates the weak point of the existing method, because it injects the reactive current less than 1% to the rated current. The operational feasibility was verified through computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software, and experimental works with a 10kVA hardware prototype. The proposed method can detect the islanding status effectively without lowing the power quality of interconnected distributed generation system.

A parametric detection scheme for determenistic signals is obtained in a generalized observation model which contains non-additive noise. The model employed in this paper includes several special cases such as those describing purely-additive noise, multiplicative noise, and signal dependent noise and allows the consideration of deterministic and random signals. Locally optimum detectors for known deterministic signals in the model are derived and analyzed for performance. It is shown that the locally optimum detectors are interesting generalizations of those for the purely-additive noise model. Performance of the locally optimum detectors designed for the generalized observation model is compared to that of other common detectors.

Despite the simplicity of processing, conventional autocorrelation function (ACF) method for the precise determination of fetal heart rate (FHR) has many problems. In the case of weak or noise corrupted Doppler ultrasound singnals, the ACF method is very sensitive to the threshold level and data window length. It is real troublesome to extract FHR when there is a data loss. To overcome these problems, the high resolution pitch detection algorithm is adapted to estimate the FHR. The FHR is determined from the correlation of two interconnected segments by its maximum correlation value. FHR is compensated with a constant correlation threshold in a greatly smeared noise signal. This method yields more accurate, robust and reliable than the ACF method.

GPS(Global Positioning System)는 미국에서 군사목적으로 이용하기 위해 개발된 위치측정 시스템으로, 현재는 우리나라를 포함한 각 국에서 군용뿐만 아니라 민간에도 유용하게 쓰이고 있다. 하지만 GPS는 위성으로부터 지면에 도달하는 신호의 세기가 매우 약해서 전파방해신호(Jamming Signal)에 약하다는 단점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 수신된 GPS 신호에 협대역의 전파방해 신호가 존재한다고 가정하고, 새로운 협대역 전파방해신호 제거 알고리즘을 제안한다. 우선, GPS 수신기에서 수신한 신호를 FFT를 이용하여 주파수 성분으로 표현하며, FFT로 인하여 발생하는 Spectral Leakage의 영향을 줄이기 위하여 Blackman-Harris window를 적용한다. Blackman-Harris window의 주파수 응답을 형태를 이용하여, 가장 큰 파워를 가지는 주파수 성분을 찾고 그 주변으로 일정한 개수의 성분을 제거하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 주로 쓰일만한 128~512포인트의 FFT를 사용할 시에 고정적으로 최대값 주변의 42개의 성분을 제거하는 것이 가장 최적임을 알 수 있었다.

A monitoring apparatus for pulse shapes of human heartbeats has been developed using an amorphous MI(Magnetic Impedance) sensor. The pulse shapes are successfully obtained from voltage signals due to the variations of magnetic impedance in the amorphous MI sensor, which is attached to a patient's wrist. This voltage signal was fed into a signal processing module to extract the pulse shapes of heartbeats. The signal processing module, which is proposed to detect a weak variations of impedance in MI sensor under a noisy measurement environment, consists of a high frequency current source, an amplifier stage and a synchronous detection circuit. To evaluate the characteristics of a newly developed apparatus, various experiments were performed. The experimental results show that the developed apparatus could be used as a diagnosis tool for traditional Korean medicine with further systematic clinical studies.

태아 심음을 측정하기 위한 기존의 자기상관 함수 법은 처리과정이 간편한 반면에 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 초음파 도플러 신호가 열악할 경우 고전적인 자기상관 함수 법은 문턱 값의 선정과 창 함수 크기에 매우 민감하다. 특히 데이터 손실이 생길 때 정확한 태아 심박동 수를 찾기가 어렵다. 이들 문제점들을 보완하기 위하여 초음파 도플러 신호로부터 정확한 태아 심박동 수를 찾는 고해상 피치검출 알고리듬이 제안되었다. 이 알고리듬은 자기상관 함수법 보다 정확하고, 잡음에 강하며, 높은 신뢰성을 갖으나 계산량이 많아 실시간 처리가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 처리에 적합한 새로운 태아 심음 추출 알고리듬을 제안하고, 제안된 알고리듬을 적용한 실시간 태아 심음 감시시스템에 관하여 연구하였다.
