Clipping은 고속 OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 통신 시스템에서 비선형 왜곡 방지를 위한 단순하고 편리한 PAPR(peak-to average power ratio) 저감 방법이다. 그러나, clipping 방법은 BER 성능을 저해 하는 clip 잡음을 발생한다. 잡음은 대역내 clipping 잡음과 대역외 clipping 잡음으로 분류된다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM-FDMA 통신 시스템의 ffrward link의 clipping 잡음 특성을 분석하고 BER 성능을 이론적으로 분석한다. HPA를 통과한 clipped OFDM-FDMA신호의 BER성능을 분석한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해서 OFDM-FDMA 시스템의 BER성능이 clipping 방법에 의한 성능 저하를 연구하였다. 본 연구의 결과로, 우리는 원하는 BER성능을 얻기 위한 알맞은 IBO(input back-off) 값과 CR(clip ratio)을 선택할 수 있다.

Temporary occlusion of the parent artery or feeding artery is an useful method in microsurgery for cerebrovascular diseases. The advantages of the temporary clipping for intracranial aneurysm surgery have already been proven by many experimental and clinical reports. Currently, there are two methods of temporary clipping: 1) intermittent clipping, 2) continuous clipping. In many previous studies, the intermittent, repeated clipping technique was reported to reduce ischemic damage to the brain, but it is still debated. On the other hand, a comparison of the histological changes on the arterial wall between each clipping method has not been sufficiently reported yet. So the authors performed experimental temporary clipping on the common carotid and femoral arteries of about 25 rats using the Sugita temporary mini-clip. The specimens were divided into two major groups and seven subgroups: Group I (I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, intermittent clippings for 5 minutes were done once, twice, three times, and few times), and Group C (C-10, C-15, C-20, continuous clippings for 10, 15, 20 minutes, respectively). The reperfusion time after the temporary clipping was the same as the clipping duration. Under light microscope, the histological findings by Hematoxylin-Eosin staining were examined in all specimens, which were obtained at each time interval after temporary clipping. Then the histological changes of the arterial walls by two different methods were compared with the normal specimen. The results suggest that intermittent temporary clipping is less damaging on the arterial wall than single continuous clipping.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OFDM-OQAM) technique has drawn significant interests in recent years. However, most of the existing OFDM peak-to-average ratio (PAPR) reduction schemes cannot be used in the OFDM-OQAM system directly. In this paper, a modified scheme called overlapped segmental clipping (OS-clipping) is proposed to deal with the high PAPR problem specifically in the OFDM-OQAM system. For the proposed OS-clipping scheme, the input signals are divided into a number of overlapped segments and then the clipping operation is processed on each segment. Simulation results show that the modified scheme used in the OFDM-OQAM system can provide better performance than conventional clipping scheme directly used in the OFDM-OQAM system, and even outperforms conventional clipping scheme applied in the OFDM system.

Operative clipping after previous endovascular coiling in an aneurysm is a different problem from primary clipping procedure for neurosurgeons. With the increasing use of coil embolization, neurosurgeons will more and more face the similar situation. We report surgical clipping cases of intracranial aneurysm regrown after endovascular coiling. Three patients with a history of subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured aneurysm underwent endovascular treatment (EVT) with detachable coils. The aneurysms were in the posterior communicating artery, the middle cerebral artery and distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA). Two near-total occlusions and one partial occlusion were achieved by EVT. After several months, angiographic follow-up revealed regrowth of the aneurysm requiring surgical clipping. Here, we report three cases in which surgical clipping was more difficult than a usual clipping procedure performed several months after EVT, because of adhesion and coil bulging into the aneurysmal neck. The difficulty of the treatment of the residual aneurysm after coiling is discussed, as are the surgical complications and limitations of clipping.

The binary clipping PW/CDMA system is considered. This system can be constructed with effective cost. leading to reduce the influence of the non-linear amplifier because of converting multi-level signals into constant envelope signals. In addition, the clipping method which is to clip out signal amplitude at some level when multi-level signals are converted into constant envelope signals is used. The multi-level signals are clipped at 1 and -1 to limit the extension of bandwidth and to maintain the bandwidth after clipping. In this paper, the performance of the binary clipping PW/CDMA system with the non-linear amplifier analyzed by simulation over AWGN and flat fading channels respectively. The binary clipping PW/CDMA system with the non-linear amplifier is 2.2dB and 0.9dB better than conventional DS/CDMA system over the flat fading channels when the number of users are 9 and 17 respectively.

MPEG Surround has a potential clipping problem since its encoding is based on downmixing a multichannel signal. We propose a clipping prevention scheme for MPEG Surround, which is composed of modification and recovery processes of a downmix signal with recovery information conveyed in arbitrary downmix gains of an MPEG Surround bitstream. Experiments show that the proposed scheme effectively prevents sound quality degradation caused by clipping problems with negligible additional bit rates.

In this paper, we propose adaptive despreading receiver for multi-code PW-CDMA system with binary-level clipping. The distortion due to clipping the multi-level signal causes the performance degradation. Adaptive despreading alleviates the effect of clipping. It is shown that the proposed adaptive despreading receiver achieves smaller BER than conventional despreading receiver for multi-code PW-CDMA system with binary-level clipping.

현재의 통신 시스템은 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하기 위하여 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 방식이 주로 쓰이고 있다. 그러나 OFDM 방식은 다수의 부반송파를 사용하므로 부반송파들이 동일위상으로 더해질 때 놀아지는 PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)이 문제가 되고 있다. PAPR의 문제는 신호가 전력증폭기와 같은 비선형 소자를 통과할 때 심각한 왜곡을 받게 되므로 전송시스템 성능이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 PAPR 문제를 해결하기 위해 IF-Clipping 기법을 제안하고, 신호의 clipping에 의해 발생되는 신호의 왜곡을 SAW(Solace Acoustic Wave) 필터와 전력증폭기를 사용하여 제한하였다. 또한 clipping 기법 이용 후 SAW Filter와 전력증폭기를 사용하여 WiBro 시스템의 Spectrum Mask를 만족하는 이상적인 파라메터 값(PAPR, Backoff)을 찾았다.

This study was carried out to examine the effect of nitrogen application and clipping interval on the characteristics of several turf components of korean lawngrass for the basic data of lawn management. It was treated by Split plot design with three replications. The main plots were nitrogen levels with 0, 350, and 700kgN / ha, and the sub plots were clipping intervals with 10, 20, and 30 days The results obtained are summarized as follows ; 1. Increasing the rate of nitrogen fertilizer and frequent clipping increased tiller number of korean lawngrass and the maximum number of tillers obtained in October were recorded from 700kgN application and clipping treatment of 10 days interval. Meanwhile, treatment of 350kgN with 10 days clipping interval increased tillers much more than those of 700kgN with 20 and 30 days clipping intervals. 2. The average number of green leaves occurred during the growth period maximized by applying 700 kgN and clipping 10 days interval. 3. Increasing tiller numbers significantly decreased tops DM weight per tiller by clippng plants at interval of 10 and 20 days, irrespective of nitrogen applied, and with nil N, at the interval of 30 days. By applying 700kgN however, tops DM weight per tiller increased as the number of tillers increased consistently. 4. The highest tops DM weight was achieved from late August to early September by applying 350 and 700kgN. 5. During the growth period, nitrogen application increased unders(stolon+root) DM weight, and, at the same level of nitrogen applied, the increase in stolon DM weight enhanced by lengthening the clipping interval to 30 days. 6. Nitrogen efficiency to green leaves, stolon nodes and DM weight of root with high nitrogen was achieved as clipping interval was shortened.

본 논문에서는 클리핑 감지기를 이용하여 음성 신호의 클리핑 제거 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 클리핑은 입력 음성 신호의 크기가 마이크의 동적 범위를 넘을 때 발생하며, 음성 품질을 저하시키는 요인이 된다. 최근 머신러닝을 이용한 많은 클리핑 제거 기술이 개발되었고 우수한 성능을 제공하고 있다. 그러나 머신러닝 기반의 클리핑 제거 방법은 신호 복원 과정의 왜곡으로 인해 클리핑이 심하지 않을 때 출력 신호의 품질이 저하되는 문제를 가진다. 이를 해결하기 위해 클리핑 제거기를 클리핑 감지기와 연동시켜 클리핑 수준에 따라 클리핑 제거 동작을 선택적으로 적용하는 방법을 제안하고, 이를 통해 모든 클리핑 수준에서 우수한 품질의 신호를출력하도록 한다. 다양한 평가 지표로 클리핑 제거 성능을 측정하였고, 제안 방법이 기존 방법에 비해 모든 클리핑 수준에 대한 평균성능을 향상시키고, 특히 클리핑 왜곡이 작을 때 성능을 크게 향상시키는 것을 확인하였다.
