Compact binaries are important sources of gravitational waves. They are also prime targets for long baseline laser interferometers. In this talk, we present latest progresses made in the Galactic merger rate calculations for compact binaries in the Galactic disk, with an emphasis on NS-NS binaries. For the first time, the non-recycled pulsar found in the Double Pulsar system (PSR J0737-3039B) is included in the rate calculation. We then discuss the prospects of detecting gravitational waves for Earth-based detectors such as advanced LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory) in US and advanced Virgo in Europe, extrapolating the Galactic rate estimates up to the detection volume of the advanced LIGO-Virgo network, Our results support the expectation that gravitational waves emitted from compact binary mergers will be detected within a decade. However, the detection rate of gravitational waves associated with NS-NS mergers is most likely to be several per year that is much smaller than what has been previously known.

본 논문은 원거리 회의 시스템이나 차량 내 핸즈프리 통화 시 필연적으로 발생하는 음향 반향을 제거하기 위해 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 음향반향 제거 시스템은 Delayless 서브밴드 음향반향 제거기와 협대역 동시통화 검출기로 구성된다. Delayless Subband 적응 음향 반향 제거기는 적은 계산 량과 높은 수렴속도로 음향 반향 제거 성능이 뛰어난 것으로 알려져 있으며 본 논문은 이를 이용해 안정적인 음향 반향 제거를 위해서 협대역 Subband 내에서 동시통화 검출기를 구현한다. 기존의 광대역 동시 통화 검출기에 비해 본 논문에서 제안된 협대역 동시통화 검출기는 저주파 Subband 대역에서만 동시통화 검출을 수행하여 down-sampling으로 인한 계산 량 감소와 저주파 특성을 가지는 Subband 대역의 신호 특성으로 인한 신뢰성 있는 통화 상태 정보를 제공함으로서 전체적인 음향반향제어 시스템의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 음향반향 제어 시스템의 성능은 다양한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 입증하도록 한다.

본 논문에서는 음향반향제거기에서 상관계수를 이용하여 동시통화 구간을 검출하는 방법에서 검출 오류로 인해 발생되는 문제점에 대해서 다룬다. 상관계수(correlation coefficient)를 이용한 DT 검출 방법에서 동시통화 구간과 반향경로의 변화를 명확하게 구분 짓는 문턱값 설정이 어렵기 때문에 때때로 검출 오류가 발생한다. 즉, 동시통화 중간에 반향경로가 변함으로써 동시통화 구간의 끝점 검출에 실패하거나 반항경로 변화를 DT로 잘못 인식하는 경우가 발생하는데, 이럴 경우 더 이상 적응필터의 계수를 갱신을 할 수 없는 상태에 빠지기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 반향제거기에 보조필터를 사용하여 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 한다. 이는 보조필터가 기준입력신호(reference signal)를 이용하여 변화된 반향신호 성분은 추정할 수 있지만 근단화자 신호는 추정할 수 없다는 점을 이용한다 실험을 통해 제안한 알고리즘이 검출 오류로 인해 발생되는 문제를 효율적으로 해결할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Recent discovery of $2M_{\odot}$ neutron stars in white dwarf-neutron star binaries, PSR J1614-2230 and PSR J0348+0432, has given strong constraints on the maximum mass of neutron stars. On the other hand, all well-measured neutron star masses in double neutron star binaries are still less than $1.5M_{\odot}$. These observations suggest that the neutron star masses in binaries may depend on the evolution process of neutron star binaries. In addition, recent works on LMXB (low-mass X-ray binaries) provides us the possibility of estimating the masses and radii of accreting neutron stars in LMXBs. In this talk, we discuss the implications of recent neutron star observations to the neutron star equation of states and the related astrophysical problems. For the evolution of neutron star binaries, we also discuss the possibilities of super-Eddington accretion onto the primary neutron stars.

In this paper, we propose a residual echo and noise reduction scheme for hands-free telephony applications. The proposed algorithm uses a noise robust modified AP algorithm which estimate well echo path in noisy and whitens residual echo signal using linear prediction at non double-talk duration. It is confirmed that the proposed algorithm shows better performance from acoustic interference cancellation (AIC) viewpoint.

본 논문에서 제안한 동시통화 검출기는 기존의 전대역에서 이루어지던 상호상관계수를 이용한 동시통화 검출기의 검출성능을 향상시키기 위하여 웨이브릿변환된 각각의 서브밴드 내에서 동시통화 및 반향경로를 구별하여 효율적으로 검출할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 서브밴드 동시통화 검출기 사용으로 동시통화 시에 발생하는 적응필터의 계수 발산을 막음으로써 시스템의 안정성을 높이고, 근단화자 신호가 원단화자에게 더 유쾌하게 들릴 수 있게 함으로써 원활한 통화환경을 제공할 수 있도록 구현하였다.

We consider dynamical dark energy models based on a minimally coupled scalar field with three different potentials: the inverse power-law, SUGRA and double exponential potentials. For each model, we derived perturbation initial conditions in the early epoch and performed the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis to explore the parameter space that is favored by the current cosmological observations like Planck CMB anisotropy, type Ia supernovae, and baryon acoustic oscillation data. The analysis has been done by using the modified CAMB/COSMOMC code in which the dynamical evolution of the scalar field perturbations are fully considered. The MCMC constraints on the cosmological as well as potential parameters are derived. In the talk we will present a progress report.

Carnegie Hubble Program II (hereafter CHP II) is a large Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observing campaign in the cycle 22 composed of a total of 184 orbits (132 primes + 52 parallels), which aims to measure H0 directly with an unprecedented accuracy. Unlike our previous efforts in CHP I which used Cepheids as a yardstick, CHP II takes the Population II (Pop II) distance indicators such as RR Lyraes and tip of the red giant branch stars (TRGBs) to set up a new calibration to Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) distance. The Pop II distance scales have two immediate advantages over the classical Cepheid method: 1) The period-luminosity relation of the RR Lyrae has a scatter that is a factor of 2 smaller; 2) The RR Lyrae/TRGB distance scale can be applied to both elliptical and spiral galaxies. This will provide a great systematic benefit by ultimately allowing us to double the number of SN Ia distances based on geometry. By taking advantage of this Pop II route, we expect to measure H0 value to 3 % of error which will be the highest accuracy H0 measurement to date using the "Distance Ladder" method. In this talk I will present a brief background/overview on the CHP II, observations/data acquisition status, and ongoing research progress/preliminary results.

In this paper, a real-time acoustic echo canceller is implemented using only PC's CPU without extra help from a DSP chip. The adaptive digital filter is designed efficiently so that it can be implemented in real-time and has a proper cancellation performance. It is proposed that a new double talk detector consumes a small computational complexity and guarantees the fast detection and robust operation. The real-time acoustic echo canceller consists of the full-duplex sound card and 166 MHz Pentium PC, and requires less than 10% CPU time.

Acousto-optical wavelength tunable optical filters in LiNbO$_3$ have been demonstrated using taperd directional weighted coupling acoustic waveguides and Ti double diffusion technique. Conversion efficiency in excess of 61%, 86% and sidelobe intensity of -14.29㏈, -14.99㏈ were measured at a wavelength of 1551.1nm RF frequency of 173.58MHz and RF power of 35㎽ for both TE and TM input polarizations, respectivelv. A spectral width of ~l.8nm and linear tuning late of 8.6nm/MHz were demonstrated. A 2.82$mutextrm{s}$ switching time has been measured. With two channels with 2.5nmseparation, channel cross-talk was lower than -l4㏈ for single wavelength filtering due to sidelobe.
