본 논문에서는 무선전화 시스템의 잡음제거 방법을 제안한다. 구현회로는 압축기(Compressor), 신장기(Expender) 및 필터로 구성된다. 제안방법의 기본개념은 채널잡음을 방지하기 위해 전송전에 음성신호를 압축(Compress)하여 전송하고 원래의 신호를 복원하기 위해 전송신호의 역 비율로 신장(Expand)한다. 압축과 신장과정을 통해서 음성신호의 감쇠나 왜곡은 일어나지 않는다. 압축과정에서 압축기의 이득은 입력신호의 유효 다이나믹 영역과 신호대 잡음 비를 향상시키기 위해 음성신호의 포락선 레벨에 따라 자동적으로 제어된다. 압축비율은 음성신호의 제곱근(Root) 배로 압축한다. 압축된 신호는 신장기에서 음성신호의 제곱이 되게 신장하여 원래의 신호를 복원한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 방법의 성능과 안정성을 검증하였다.

Positron emission tomography (PET) images is affected by acquisition time, short acquisition times results in low gamma counts leading to degradation of image quality by statistical noise. Noise2Void(N2V) is self supervised denoising model that is convolutional neural network (CNN) based deep learning. The purpose of this study is to evaluate denoising performance of N2V for PET image with a short acquisition time. The phantom was scanned as a list mode for 10 min using Biograph mCT40 of PET/CT (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany). We compared PET images using NEMA image-quality phantom for standard acquisition time (10 min), short acquisition time (2min) and simulated PET image (S2 min). To evaluate performance of N2V, the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), normalized root mean square error (NRMSE), structural similarity index (SSIM) and radio-activity recovery coefficient (RC) were used. The PSNR, NRMSE and SSIM for 2 min and S2 min PET images compared to 10min PET image were 30.983, 33.936, 9.954, 7.609 and 0.916, 0.934 respectively. The RC for spheres with S2 min PET image also met European Association of Nuclear Medicine Research Ltd. (EARL) FDG PET accreditation program. We confirmed generated S2 min PET image from N2V deep learning showed improvement results compared to 2 min PET image and The PET images on visual analysis were also comparable between 10 min and S2 min PET images. In conclusion, noisy PET image by means of short acquisition time using N2V denoising network model can be improved image quality without underestimation of radioactivity.

HVAC transmission lines must be designed to satisfy environmental regulations. Therefore it is necessary to pre-evaluate environmental problems for transmission line designer using prediction program. In this study, environment design software, TLCALC 2001 for transmission lines was developed as a comprehensive window program. It has 6 modules that are audible noise, radio noise, television noise, magnetic field, electric field and conductor surface gradient. TLCALC 2001 solved a few problems in use of the existing foreign tools and took several advantages. Experienced designers can get the results of calculation within about 15 minutes. Because the use of TLCALC 2001 is easy and practical, this program will be usefully applied to the environmental friendly design and construction of HVAC transmission lines. In the future, it is expected that public complaints and social environmental cost will be reduced by the use of TLCALC 2001.

This paper proposes a new automatic compensation network (ACN) for a system-on-chip (SoC) transceiver. We built a 5 GHz low noise amplifier (LNA) with an on-chip ACN using 0.18 ${\mu}m$ SiGe technology. This network is extremely useful for today's radio frequency (RF) integrated circuit devices in a complete RF transceiver environment. The network comprises an RF design-for-testability (DFT) circuit, capacitor mirror banks, and a digital signal processor. The RF DFT circuit consists of a test amplifier and RF peak detectors. The RF DFT circuit helps the network to provide DC output voltages, which makes the compensation network automatic. The proposed technique utilizes output DC voltage measurements and these measured values are translated into the LNA specifications such as input impedance, gain, and noise figure using the developed mathematical equations. The ACN automatically adjusts the performance of the 5 GHz LNA with the processor in the SoC transceiver when the LNA goes out of the normal range of operation. The ACN compensates abnormal operation due to unusual thermal variation or unusual process variation. The ACN is simple, inexpensive and suitable for a complete RF transceiver environment.

본 논문에서는 6~13 GHz 주파수 범위에서 30 kHz 이하의 주파수 분해능과 500 ns 이하의 동조 속도를 갖는 광대역 고속 주파수 합성기 구조를 제안하였다. 광대역에서 빠른 동조 속도와 우수한 위상잡음 특성, 고해상도 주파수 특성을 얻기 위해 DDS(Direct Digital Synthesizer)와 아날로그 직접 주파수 합성기술을 적용하여 주파수 합성기의 출력을 합성하였다. 그리고 광대역 주파수 합성기의 위상잡음 특성을 중첩의 원리를 이용하여 예측하였고 측정 결과와 비교하였다. 제작된 주파수 합성기의 주파수 동조 속도는 500 ns 이하, 위상잡음은 최고 주파수에서 -106 dBc @ 10 kHz 이하, 주파수 정확도는 ${\pm}2kHz$ 이하로 측정 되었다.

The bulk current injection (BCI) and direct power injection (DPI) method have been established as the standards for the electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) test. Because the BCI test uses a probe to inject magnetically coupled electromagnetic (EM) noise, there is a significant difference between the power supplied by the radio frequency (RF) generator and that transferred to the integrated circuit (IC). Thus, the immunity estimated by the forward power cannot show the susceptibility of the IC itself. This paper derives the real injected power at the failure point of the IC using the power transfer efficiency of the BCI method. We propose and mathematically derive the power transfer efficiency based on equivalent circuit models representing the BCI test setup. The BCI test is performed on I/O buffers with and without decoupling capacitors, and their immunities are evaluated based on the traditional forward power and the real injected power proposed in this work. The real injected power shows the actual noise power level that the IC can tolerate. Using the real injected power as an indicator for the EMS test, we show that the on-chip decoupling capacitor enhances the EM noise immunity.

TV 대역에 나타날 수 있는 무선 마이크 신호를 검출하는 방안으로 전력 스펙트럼의 최대값을 시험 통계량으로 사용하는 방안이 최근 발표되었다. 이 방식은 시험 통계량을 임계값과 비교하여 우선 사용자의 유무를 판정하는데, 이때 임계값은 목표로 하는 오경보 확률뿐만 아니라 배경 잡음 전력 수준에 따라 달라진다. 따라서 잡음 전력에 대한 불확실성이 존재하는 경우 그로 인한 성능 저하가 발생할 수 있다. 이에 대한 해결책으로 본 논문은 전력 스펙트럼의 최대값과 최소값의 비율을 시험 통계량으로 사용하는 방식을 제안하고, 그 분석 결과를 제시하고자 한다.

I present an analysis of the long-term evolution of the fluxes of six active galactic nuclei (AGN) - 0923+392, 3C 111, 3C 273, 3C 345, 3C 454.3, and 3C 84 - in the frequency range 80 - 267 GHz using archival calibration data of the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer. Our dataset spans a long timeline of ~14 years with 974 - 3027 flux measurements per source. We find strong (factors ~2-8) flux variability on timescales of years for all sources. The flux density distributions of five out of six sources show clear signatures of bi- or even multimodality. Our sources show mostly steep (alpha~0.5-1), variable spectral indices that indicate outflow dominated emission; the variability is most probably due to optical depth variations. The power spectra globally correspond to red-noise spectra with five sources being located between the cases of white and flicker noise and one source (3C 111) being closer to the case of random walk noise. For three sources the low-frequency ends of their power spectra appear to be upscaled in spectral power by factors ~2-3 with respect to the overall powerlaws. We conclude that the source emission cannot be described by uniform stochastic emission processes; instead, a distinction of "quiescent" and (maybe multiple) "flare" states of the source emission appears to be necessary.
