본 논문에서는 다중 반송파, 특히 OFDM 시스템의 PAPR 을 감소시킬 수 있는 CFR 알고리즘을 다룬다. 기존의 피크 윈도윙 기법이 윈도우 길이 내에 피크들이 여러 개 있을 경우, 과도 clipping 으로 인하여 성능이 열화되는 현상을 개선하기 위하여 포락선 기반 피크 윈도윙 기법을 적용한다. 뿐만 아니라, 피크 윈도윙이 가지고 있는 EVM 열화를 완화하기 위하여 기존의 단순 clipping 기법과 혼합하여 시스템에서 요구하는 EVM 성능뿐 아니라 ACLR 성능까지도 만족하도록 한다. MATLAB 을 이용하여 알고리즘을 검증하고, 하드웨어 구현을 위하여 Xilinx Virtex5 를 이용하여 검증하여 제안하는 기법의 복잡도는 높지만 EVM 과 ACLR 성능이 우수함을 알 수 있다. 효율적인 주파수 이용과 수신 성능 측면에서 우수한 성능을 보인다. 따라서 DVB-T 나 LTE, IEEE 802.16m 등의 차세대 방송 및 통신의 전송에 이용되는 OFDM 신호의 PAPR 을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있는 기법으로 적용될 수 있다.

It is widely known that the leak locating of underground plastic pipelines is much more difficult than that of cast iron pipelines. The precision of the leak locating depends upon the speed of leak signal and the time delay estimation between the two sensors on the pipeline. In this paper, six different windowing filters are considered to improve the time delay estimation especially for the plastic pipelines. The time delay is usually estimated from the peak time of cross-correlation functions. The filtering windows including rectangle, Roth, Wiener, SCOT, PHAT and maximum likelihood are applied to derive the generalized cross-correlation function and compared each other. Experimental results for the actual plastic underground water supply pipeline show that the introduction of the filtering windows improved the precision of time delay estimation. Some window functions provide excellent leak locating capability for the plastic pipe of 98 m long, which is less than 1 % of the pipe lengths. Also a new probabilistic approach that the combinations of all results from each filtering window is suggested for the better leak locating.

It is necessary to find characteristic phenomena related with permittivity differences for classification of liquid characteristics. If these phenomena can be remotely detected and characteristics can be extracted, it will be very useful in finding flammable liquid materials and classifying substances of these liquids. Therefore, in this paper, reflection and transmitted signals were analyzed from three receiving antennas with one transmitting antenna using wideband electromagnetic wave signals. Frequency response characteristics of reflected or transmitted signals are different according to characteristics of liquid materials. However, conventional FFT methods cannot be applied due to problems of low resolution caused by data windowing distortion. To minimize these problems, eigenvector analysis method was applied for high resolution spectrum estimation of received signals. From these results, it can be shown that classification of many kinds of liquids are possible using peak frequencies and corresponding peak power values of spectrum estimates obtained from various liquid materials.
