The frame synchronization should be acquired before performing other data-aided receiving algorithms, such as data-aided channel equalizing, beam-forming and phase, symbol timing, and frequency synchronizing, since all of them are using preamble or training sequence to estimate the amount of error from the received signal. In this paper, we present a new frame synchronization scheme for underwater ultrasonic image burst transmission system, which computes the correlation between received symbol sequence and one CAZAC sequence, composed of the latter half of the first CAZAC sequence of preamble and the first half of the second CAZAC sequence of preamble and then compares a threshold value. If the correlation value is bigger than the threshold value, the frame detector determines that the frame synchronization is achieved at that sample.

We propose a real-time post processing of nonlinear amplified signal to improve voice recognition in remote talk. In the previous research, we have found the nonlinear amplification has unique advantage for both the voice activity detection and the sound localization in remote talk. However, the original signal becomes distorted due to its nonlinear amplification and, as a result, the rest of sequence such as speech recognition show less satisfactorily results. To remedy this problem, we implement a linearization algorithm to recover the voice signal's linear characteristics after the localization has been done.

This paper describes a design of a Wavelet Adaptive Filter(WAF) for the removal of the baseline wandering and the minimization of the signal distortion using by wavelet transform and adaptive filter in the ECG signal. WAF consists of two parts. The first part is wavelet transform that decomposes the ECG signal into seven frequency bands using Vaidyanathan and Hoang wavelet. The second part is adaptive filter that uses the signal of seventh low frequency band among the wavelet transformed signals as primary input and a unit impulse sequence as reference input. For the evaluation of the performance of WAF, we used several baseline wandering elimination filters such as commerical standard filter with cutoff frequency of 0.5Hz and general adaptive filter. We made use of MIT/BIH database and real patient data for the evaluation. In conclusion, WAF showed a lower ST segement distortion than standard filter and adaptive filter and has a higher eliminated noise power than standard filter and adaptive filter.

A mobile propagation characteristics for wideband DS-SS (Direct Sequence-Spectrum) signal is presented. Existing narrowband model is extended for the wideband pulse with an arbitrary shape. The received DS-SS signal in the frequency domain is the transfer function of the propagation channel weighted by the inverse Fourier transform. In this proposed method, received signal spectral density, instantaneous waveform, and Doppler spectrum of DS-SS signal via either Rayleigh of Rician channel can be obtained easily. Simulation results match well with both simulated theoretical fading statistics and classical theory. As expected, the extraction of chip timing in Rician fading shown to be more tractable than Rayleigh fading.

In this paper, we proposed DC term embedding digital watermarking in the DCT domain. We computed a 8${\times}$8 block DCT The watermark signal is composed of a random number sequence of length 1000, which obeys normal distribution with zero mean and unit variance N(0,1). We embedded watermark signal in DC term for small watermark signal, the other watermark signal embedded in the largest AC coefficients. Experiment show that the invisibility and robust of the proposed method better than those of the conventional methods.

RLS a1gorithm is a kind of the adaptive a1gorithms in smart antennas and adapts the weight vector using the difference between the output signal of array antennas and the known training sequence. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm based on the RLS algorithm. It calculates the error signal with reference signal derived from blind scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm yields more user capacity by 67∼74% than other blind adaptive algorithms(LS-DRMTA, LS-DRMTCMA) at the same BER and the beamformer forms null beams toward interference signals and the main beam toward desired signal.

GPS L2C signal is a recently added civil signal to L2 frequency and is constructed by time division multiplexing of civil moderate (L2-CM) and civil long (L2-CL) code signals. While the L2-CM code is 20 ms-periodic and modulates satellite navigation message, the L2-CL code is 1.5s-periodic with 767,250 chips long code sequence and carries no data. Therefore, the L2-CL code signal allows receivers to perform a very long coherent integration. However, due to the length of the L2-CL code, the acquisition of the L2-CL code signal may take too long or require too much hardware resources. In this paper, we propose a three-step ultra-fast L2-CL code acquisition (TSCLA) technique for dual band GPS receivers. In the proposed TSCLA technique, a dual band GPS receiver sequentially acquires the coarse/acquisition (C/A) code signal at L1 frequency, the L2-CM code signal, and the L2-CL code signal to minimize mean acquisition time (MAT). The theoretical performance analysis and numerous Monte Carlo simulations show the significant advantage of the proposed TSCLA technique over conventional techniques introduced in the literature.

Mouse ficolin A is a plasma protein with lectin activity, and plays a role in host defense by binding carbohydrates, especially GlcNAc, on microorganisms. The ficolin A subunit consists of an N-terminal signal peptide, a collagen-like domain, and a C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain. In this study, we show that ficolin A can be synthesized and oligomerized in a cell and secreted into culture medium. We also identify a functionally relevant signal peptide of ficolin A by using MS/MS analysis to determine the N-terminal sequence of secreted ficolin A. When the signal peptide of mouse ficolin A was fused with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP), EGFP was released into HEK 293 cell medium, suggesting that the signal peptide can efficiently direct ficolin A secretion. Moreover, our results suggest that the signal peptide of ficolin A has potential application for the production of useful secretory proteins.

For the element ${\alpha}{\in}GF(p^n)$, two kinds of bases are known. One is a conventional polynomial basis of the form $\{1,{\alpha},{\alpha}^2,{\cdots},{\alpha}^{n-1}\}$, and the other is a normal basis of the form $\{{\alpha},{\alpha}^p,{\alpha}^{p^2},{\cdots},{\alpha}^{p^{n-1}}\}$. In this paper we consider the method of generating normal bases which construct the finite field $GF(p^n)$, as an n-dimensional extension of the finite field GF(p). And we analyze the code sequence generating algorithm and derive the implementation functions of code sequence generator based on the normal bases. We find the normal polynomials of degrees, n=5 and n=7, which can generate normal bases respectively, design, and construct the code sequence generators based on these normal bases. Finally, we produce two code sequence groups(n=5, n=7) by using Simulink, and analyze the characteristics of the autocorrelation function, $R_{i,i}(\tau)$, and crosscorrelation function, $R_{i,j}(\tau)$, $i{\neq}j$ between two different code sequences. Based on these results, we confirm that the analysis of generating algorithms and the design and implementation of the code sequence generators based on normal bases are correct.
