In parameter design introduced by Taguchi, we analyze a signal-to-noise(SN) ratio. The SN ratio is a function of the expected loss due to the variation of quality characteristic. In this paper, an easy way for developing SN ratios is presented, which can be used to several quality characteristics simultaneously in parameter design. To develop such multivariate SN ratios, the transformation method of the expected loss and combining techniques are employed. And the analysis of real empirical data for an application of the proposed method is also presented.

When a vibration data for a rotating machine such as a pump or a compressor is concerned, the frequency fluctuation of the energy contents at an instant time may provide useful information on understanding the vibration characteristics of the rotating machinery, rather than the averaged energy distribution along the frequency axis. Especially, when a periodic signal has different spectral contents, the approach to use the averaged frequency distribution, called the normal frequency analysis, may not be appropriate to extract vibration source characteristics of the structure. This paper introduces a way to analyze the signal based on an instant time. In order to evaluate the performance of the various approach, the investigatation compares three different algorithms which are frequently implemented in the instantaneous frequency analysis. Also for the noise effect embodied in the true signal, various cases for different SN ratio have been examined. The result shows that the noise level is crucial to evalute the instantaneous frequency analysis. In order to implement the instantaneous frequency analysis, the extraction of the relevant information from the measured signal should have the high S/N ratio, i, e., 40 dB or above.

In this paper, a comparative studies on the STAP and SFAP were performed, which are known as representative anti-jamming technology for adaptive array antenna. As a method of estimating the weighting vector for simulation, MMSE(Minimum Mean Square Error) algorithm was commonly used and the analyses of the simulation performance in various jamming environments were presented. Especially, performance comparison between STAP and SFAP according to the jamming power J/S(Jamming to Signal Power Ratio), performance comparison in the ratio of jamming bandwidth to signal bandwidth, and performance comparison of BER between STAP and SFAP were presented.

We propose a multi-band multi-scale DenseNet with dilated convolution that separates background music signals from broadcast content. Dilated convolution can learn the multi-scale context information represented by spectrogram. In computer simulation experiments, the proposed architecture is shown to improve Signal to Distortion Ratio (SDR) by 0.15 dB and 0.27 dB in 0dB and -10 dB Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) environments, respectively.

In three dogs showing cerebellar ataxia, the onset of clinical signs varied from a young age of five months to age 13 years. Qualitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed various degrees of cerebellar atrophy, and a tentative diagnosis of cerebellar cortical degeneration was made. Quantitative analysis using the brainstem to the cerebellar cross-sectional area ratio (BS:CBM ratio) and T2-signal intensity histograms were obtained to perform an objective evaluation. These techniques have the advantage of being easy and fast to evaluate. These quantitative analyses revealed the severity of cerebellar cortical degeneration in the three dogs as mild, moderate, and severe. Dogs 2 and 3 were identified as abnormal on the relative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space using T2-signal intensity histograms but were normal on the BS:CBM ratio. This suggests that the T2-signal intensity histograms may have higher sensitivity than BS:CBM ratio.

The Global Positioning System (GPS), which has various military and commercial applications, is designed to estimate the location of the specific user or object. In order to accurately estimate the location, GPS requires at least four satellite signals. The GPS receiver operates on extremely low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment and it may suffer from various interference signals with the extremely high power. In this paper, we introduce a blind adaptive receiver based on the modified despreader, which suppress interference signals and detect GPS signals of interest without requiring explicit angle-of-arrival (AOA) information. We, also, provide the mathematical analysis for the signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) of the modified despeader beamformer output. A representative computer simulation example is presented to illustrate the interference suppression performance of the considered GPS receiver and mathematical analysis of the SINR.

Power line noise in electrocardiogram signals makes it difficult to diagnose cardiovascular disease. ECG signals without power line noise are needed to increase the accuracy of diagnosis. In this paper, it is proposed DNN(Deep Neural Network) model to remove the power line noise in ECG. The proposed model is learned with noisy ECG, and clean ECG. Performance of the proposed model were performed in various environments(varying amplitude, frequency change, real-time amplitude change). The evaluation used signal-to-noise ratio and root mean square error (RMSE). The difference in evaluation metrics between the noisy ECG signals and the de-noising ECG signals can demonstrate effectiveness as the de-noising model. The proposed DNN model learning result was a decrease in RMSE 0.0224dB and a increase in signal-to-noise ratio 1.048dB. The results performed in various environments showed a decrease in RMSE 1.7672dB and a increase in signal-to-noise ratio 15.1879dB in amplitude changes, a decrease in RMSE 0.0823dB and a increase in signal-to-noise ratio 4.9287dB in frequency changes. Finally, in real-time amplitude changes, RMSE was decreased 0.3886dB and signal-to-noise ratio was increased 11.4536dB. Thus, it was shown that the proposed DNN model can de-noise power line noise in ECG.

This work compared the bright calibration of digital radiation with signal-to-noise ratio and basic spatial resolution according to multi frame to enable effective inspection of welding parts of structures at industrial sites. A total of 130 images were obtained by using a ⁷⁵Se radiation source for flat weld test pieces and segmenting bright calibration and multi frame prior to shooting. The study confirms that the signal-to-noise ratio improves as the number of bright calibrations and the number of multi frame increases. The basic spatial resolution satisfied the baseline for both radiographic images. It was confirmed that the number of signal-to-noise ratio was similar by comparing images taken after installing lead shielding for scattering radiation. Although signal-to-noise ratio increases as multi frame increases, it is believed that good quality digital radiographs can be obtained if appropriate radiographic techniques are devised because exposure time of radiation affects workers' exposure and work efficiency.

In this study by using EMAT(electro magnetic acoustic transducer)the artificial slit is installed on 12B-SUS pipe test piece. By making 4 cycle SH-burst (EMA) incidence to 45 .deg. angle, the signal data of pulse, received from EMAT are translated into digital-signal-processing- method SSP(Split Spectrum Processing) and Deconvolution method. The main conclusions obtained are as follows; (1) the signal data received from EMAT are translated with digital signal proc- essing of SSP-method and Deconvolution-method and this method shows exellent results more than Ultrasonic testing method does; (2) noise can well be removed by SSP with signal data, and resolution and S/N ratio are advanced; (3) when used with Ultrasonic wave general stainless steel has proporties of multiscattering and reflection phenomena, but resolution is progressed by using Deconvolution method;and (4) as addition-averaging-processing mumber is increasing, the resolution and S/N ratio are improved and the satisfactory signal is obtained.
