The performance of two-channel adaptive noise canceller is ofter degraded by the weights perturbation due to the speech signal. In this paper, an adaptive noise canceller employing a speech detector and two adaptation algorithms which are switched according to the speech detector is proposed. When highly correlated speech signal is detected, the tap weights of the adaptive filter are adapted by the sign algorithm. On the other hand, the weights are adapted by the NLMS algorithm when silence is detected or when the characteristics of the noise propagation channel is changed. The employed speech detector utilizes the power ratio of the input and the output of an adaptive linear prediction-error filter. According to the computer simulation, the proposed method yields better performance than conventional ones.

In this paper, the two sample locally optimum rank detector is obtained in the weakly dependent noise with non-zero temporal correlation between noise observations. The test statistic of the locally optimum rank detector is derived from the Neyman-Pearson lemma suitable for the two sample observation models, where it is assumed that reference observations are available in addition to regular observations. Two-sample locally optimum rank detecter shows the same performance with the one-sample locally optimum rank detector asymptotically. The structure of the two-sample rank detector is simpler than that of the one-sample rank detector because the sign statistic is not processed separately.

This paper describes a compact and novel wireless vital sign sensor at 2.4 GHz that can detect heartbeat and respiration signals. The oscillator circuit incorporates a planar resonator, which functions as a series feedback element as well as a near-field radiator. The periodic movement of a human body during aerobic exercise could cause an input impedance variation of the radiator within near-field range. This variation results in a corresponding change in the oscillation frequency and this change has been utilized for the sensing of human vital signs. In addition, a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter and power detector have been used to increase the system sensitivity and to transform the frequency variation into a voltage waveform. The experimental results show that the proposed sensor placed 20 mm away from a human body can detect the vital signs very accurately.

Signal detectors often utilize nonlinear statistics of observations rather than the observation as they are. The sign statistic, a typical example of the nonlinear statistics, for example, relies oかy on the sign information of observations. In this letter, a qualitative analysis is presented that the correlation coefficients between the statistics and original observations can be used to predict the asymptotic performance of a detection schemes utilizing the nonlinear statistics.

A simpler nonparametric detector test statistic based on reference observation in addition to the rank statistics of regular observations is suggested in this letter. Using reference observations instead of sign statistics helps us a simpler detector structure especially for random signals buried in multiplicative noise.

The closed from of sums and weighted sums of the score functions of the locally optimum rank detectors are obtained in this paper. When we consider the asymptotic performance characteristics of a detector based on rank and sign statistics, the sums and weighted sums of the score functions have to be prepared. The efficacy of a detector can be obtained from the sums and weighted sums of the score functions. Score functions based on rank statistics, as well as those based on magnitude rank and sign statistics, have also been considered, which includes most score functions presented in the literature.

In this paper, a new detector is proposed for code acquisition, which employs the signs and ranks of the received signal samples, instead of their actual values, and so does not require knowledge of the non-Gaussian noise dispersion. The mean acquisition performance of the proposed detector is compared with that of the detector of $^{[1]}$. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is not only robust to deviations from the true value of the non-Gaussian noise dispersion, but also has comparable performance to that of the scheme of $^{[1]}$ using exact knowledge of the non-Gaussian noise dispersion.

General adaptive noise canceller(ANC) suffers from the misadjustment of adaptive filter weights, because of the gradient-estimate noise at steady state. In this paper, an adaptive noise cancellation algorithm with speech detector which is distinguishing speech from silence and adaptation-transient region is proposed. The speech detector uses property of adaptive prediction-error filter which can filter the highly correlated speech. To detect speech region, estimation error which is the output of the adaptive filter is applied to the adaptive prediction-error filter. When speech signal apears at the input of the adaptive prediction-error filter. The ratio of input and output energy of adaptive prediction-error filter becomes relatively lower. The ratio becomes large when the white noise appears at the input. So the region of speech is detected by the ratio. Sign algorithm is applied at speech region to prevent the weights from perturbing by output speech of ANC. As results of computer simulation, the proposed algorithm improves segmental SNR and SNR up to about 4 dBand 11 dB, respectively.

In this paper, a vital sign sensor based on impedance variation of resonator is proposed to detect the respiration and heartbeat signals within near-field range as a function of the separation distance between resonator and subject. The sensor consists of an oscillator with a built-in planar type patch resonator, a diplexer for only pass the second harmonic frequency, amplifier, SAW filter, and RF detector. The cardiac activity of a subject such as respiration and heartbeat causes the variation of the oscillation frequency corresponding impedance variation of the resonator within near-field range. The combination of the second harmonic oscillation frequency deviation and the superior skirt frequency of the SAW filter enables the proposed sensor to extend twice detection range. The experimental results reveal that the proposed sensor placed 40 mm away from a subject can reliably detect respiration and heartbeat signals.
