The requirement of acoustic material which is used in underwater environment more increases. The material is used to reduce acoustic signature and radiate noise for underwater vehicle. Underwater acoustic material was made by viscoelastic material such as a rubber and a polyurethane etc. The mechanical and acoustic characteristics of these material change with hydrostatic pressure. In order to increase an acoustic performance according to hydrostatic pressure, several kinds of scatterers were added to viscoelastic material. In this paper, acoustic modelling and analysis techniques of underwater acoustic material with hydrostatic pressure were introduced and proposed. The specimens for pulse tube test were made and echo reductions were calculated and measured with hydrostatic pressure. Also the characteristics of echo reduction of the specimens with hydrostatic pressure were obtained and discussed.

In this paper, a nonlinear echo cancellation approach, based on a Gauss-Seidel pseudo affine projection algorithm and Volterra filtering, is proposed to compensate for echo path nonlinearity in the telephone network. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach yields reduction of computational complexity and improved convergence speed than the conventional nonlinear echo cancellation methods (NLMS, ECLMS, FAP, RLS).

본 논문에서는 스테레오 음향 반향 제거기의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 새로운 전처리 방법의 반향 제거기를 제안한다. 제안한 반향 제거기는 MINT (Multiple input/output INverse Theorem) 필터링에 의해 실내 전달함수의 잔향이 저감되어진 입력을 사용함으로써 필터계수의 추정오차를 감소시켜 성능을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 실제의 스테레오 음성과 실제 음장의 전달함수를 사용한 시뮬레이션 결과, 제안한 방법이 NLMS (Normalized Least Mean Square)와 Projection 등의 적응 알고리즘 종류에 관계없이 ERLE가 3∼5 dB 향상됨을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a tile projector for the active control of low-frequency underwater echoes is studied using finite element method. Compared to the existing underwater actuators used for echo reduction, the tile projector is better suited for covering a wide area such as the hull of a submarine. In order to actively match the acoustic impedance at the water-object interface, the projector is driven to radiate a pressure wave that is the inverted replica of the echo at the interface. Finite element simulations demonstrate significant echo reductions due to the active impedance matching by the tile projector.

This paper presents the integrated speech enhancement system for hands-free mobile communication. The proposed integrated system incorporates both acoustic echo cancellation and engine noise reduction device to provide signal enhancement of desired speech signal from the echoed plus noisy environments. To implement the system, a delayless subband adaptive structure is used for acoustic echo cancellation operation. The NLMS based adaptive noise canceller then applied to the residual echo removed noisy signal to achieve the selective engine noise attenuation in dominant frequency component. Two sets of computer simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the system; one for the fixed acoustical environment condition, the other for the robustness of the system in which, more realistic situation, the acoustic transmission environment change. Simulation results confirm the system performance of 20-25dB ERLE in acoustic echo cancellation and 9-19 dB engine noise attenuation in dominant frequency component for both cases.

We have designed ramp profile excitation pulse based on the Shinnar-Le Roux (SLR) algorithm. The algorithm provides many advantages to pulse designers. The first advantage is the freedom of deciding the amplitudes, frequencies, and ripple sizes of stopband, passband, and transition band of pulse profile. The second advantage is the freedom of deciding the pulse phase, more specifically, minimum phase, linear phase, maximum phase, and any phase between them. The minimum phase pulse is the best choice in the case of 3D TOF, because it minimizes the echo time, which implies the best image quality in the same MR examination condition. In addition, the half echo technique is slightly modified in our case. In general, using the half echo technique means that the acquired data size is half and the rest part can be filled with complex conjugate of acquired data. But in our case, the echo center is just shifted to left, which implies the reduction of echo time, and the acquired data size is the same as the one without using the half echo technique. In this case, the increase of right part of data leads to improvement of the resolution and the decrease of left part of data leads to decrease of signal to noise ratio. Since in the case of 3D TOF, the signal to noise ratio is sufficiently high and the resolution is more important than signal to noise ratio, the proposed method appears to be significantly affective and gives rise to the improved high resolution angiograms.

본 논문은 텔레메틱스 단말용 음성인식을 위한 음성향상 단일 칩 알고리듬을 제시한다. 제안된 방법은 잡음제거와 에코제거의 두 단계로 구성되어 있으며, 첫 단계로 크로스 스펙트럼 추정에 기반한 적응필터를 통해 에코를 제거하고, 두번째 단계로 Generalized Gamma분포기반의 LSA 음성추정 방식 추정을 통해 외부 배경잡음을 제거하여 음성의 음질을 향상시킨다. 적은 계산량이 요구되는 제안된 알고리즘을 토대로 구현된 단일 칩의 성능은 다양한 잡음환경에서 신호 대잡음비율과 음성인식 평가에서 기존의 방법보다 향상된 결과를 나타내었다.

Purpose: To investigate and compensate the effects of respiration-induced B0 variations on fat quantification of the bone marrow in the lumbar spine. Materials and Methods: Multi-echo gradient echo images with navigator echoes were obtained from eight healthy volunteers at 3T clinical scanner. Using navigator echo data, respiration-induced B0 variations were measured and compensated. Fat fraction maps were estimated using $T2^*$-IDEAL algorithm from the uncompensated and compensated images. For manually drawn bone marrow regions, the estimated B0 variations and the calculated fat fractions (before and after compensations) were analyzed. Results: An increase of temporal B0 variations from inferior level to superior levels was observed for all subjects. After compensation using navigator echo data, the effects of the B0 variations were reduced in gradient echo images. The calculated fat fractions show significant differences (P < 0.05) in L1 and L3 between the uncompensated and the compensated. Conclusion: The results of this study raise the need for considering respiration-induced B0 variations for accurate fat quantification using gradient echo images in the lumbar spine. The use of navigator echo data can be an effective way for the reduction of the effects of respiratory motion on the quantification.

능동소나를 이용한 대잠전 환경에서 클러터는 표적탐지 및 추적성능을 저하시키는 가장 큰 원인 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 중주파수 능동소나에서 표적 피크 신호의 통계적 특징을 이용한 단일 핑 클러터 제거 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 표적 피크 영역을 제외한 잔향 존재 영역에서 오탐지율을 줄이는 기법이나 여러 핑을 누적하여 기동 패턴을 분석하여 표적과 클러터를 구분하는 기법들의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 단일 핑 데이터의 표적 피크 영역에서 통계적 특징 정보를 이용하여 클러터와 표적신호를 구분한다. 실제 표적을 이용한 해상실험에서 성능을 검증하였으며 기존 대비 클러터가 약 80 % 이상 제거되는 것을 확인하였다.
