In this paper, an adaptive interference excision scheme with multiple adaptive filter bank using an adaptive algorithm is proposed. This scheme suppresses interference in the wavelet packet transform domain for the direct spread spectrum communication systems. Using the Monte-Carlo simulation, we analyze the performance of the direct spread spectrum communication systems with this excision scheme using LMS and RLS adaptive algorithms in AWGN and interference channel.

In DWMT, CMFB is employed in the synthesis/analysis part. The CMFB uses filters of greater length than the DFT, resulting in reduced interference between the carriers. In addition, the CMFB system is computationally efficient and fast algorithms are available for their implementation. Traditional designs for the prototype filters of CMFB usually involve nonlinear optimizations. Thus the required design time is considerably large even for small filter orders. In this paper, a prototype filter design method for CMFB is presented using optimal window method. The design process is reduced to the optimization of a single parameter and consequently the required design time is much less than those of the existing methods. It is shown that the stopband performance of the proposed method is better than that of the Kaiser window method.

In this paper, we describe the structure of the DWMT (discrete wavelet multitone) transceiver for VDSL system. The DWMT transceiver consists of the transmultiplexer using cosine modulation filter bank (CMFB), time domain equalizer (TEQ) and frequency domain equalizer (FEQ) minimizing the effects of the transmission channel. For FEQ, we have expanded the conventional l-D linear transversal equalizer into 2-dimensions, i.e. time and subchannel axes and we have implemented it using the 2-dimensional LMS methods. In order to qualify the performance of FEQ, we have applied it to the DWMT based VDSL transceiver and the equalizer's performance is verified by simulation using the VDSL line test model specified by the ANSI T1E1.4 requirements.

A reactor vessel level monitoring system measures the water level in a reactor during normal operation and abnormal conditions. A drop in the water level can expose nuclear fuel, which may lead to fuel meltdown and radiation spread in accident conditions. A level monitoring system mainly consists of a sensing line and pressure transmitter. Over a period of time boron sediments or other impurities can clog the line which may degrade the accuracy of the monitoring system. The aim of this study is to determine blockage in a sensing line using the energy of the composite signal. An equivalent Pi circuit model is used to simulate blockages in the sensing line and the system's response is examined under different blockage levels. Composite signals obtained from the model and plant's unblocked and blocked channels are decomposed into six levels of details and approximations using a wavelet filter bank. The percentage of energy is calculated at each level for approximations. It is observed that the percentage of energy reduces as the blockage level in the sensing line increases. The results of the model and operational data are well correlated. Thus, in our opinion variation in the energy levels of approximations can be used as an index to determine the presence and degree of blockage in a sensing line.

Adaptive LMS algorithm has been used in many application areas due to its low complexity. In this paper input signal is transformed into the subbands with arbitrary bandwidth. In each subbands the dynamic range can be reduced, so that the independent filtering in each subbands has faster convergence rate than the full band system. The DCT transform domain LMS adaptive filtering has the whitening effect of input signal at each bands. This leads the convergence rate to very high speed owing to the decrease of eigen value spread Finally, the filtered signals in each subbands are synthesized for the output signal to have full frequency components. In this procedure wavelet filter bank guarantees the perfect reconstruction of signal without any interspectra interference. In simulation for the case of speech signal added additive white gaussian noise, the suggested algorithm shows better performance than that of conventional NLMS algorithm at high SNR.

An extension of the well-known Fourier transform is developed in this paper. It is denoted as the generalized Fourier transform(GFT), since it encompasses the Fourier transform as its special case. The first idea of this extension can be found on [1]. In the definition of the N-point discrete GFT, it first construct a passband in time which functions as a window in the time domain. An appropriate interpretation of each variables are introduced during the definition of the GFT, followed by the formal derivation of the inverse GFT. This transform pair is similar to the windowing in the frequency domain such as the subband coding technique (or filter bank approach) and could be extended to the wavelet transform.

Many researchers have developed the techniques of an efficient 3-D sound system based on the psycho-acoustics of spatial hearing with multimedia or virtual reality In this paper, we propose an idea for the improved 3-D sound system using conventional stereo headphones to obtain a better sound diffusion from the mono-sound recorded at an anechoic chamber. We use the HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) for the sound localization and the wavelet filter bank with time delay for the sound diffusion. We investigate the effects of the 3-B sound depending on the length of time delay at lowest frequency band. Also the correlation coefficient of the signals between the left channel and the right channel is measured to identify the sound diffusion.

This paper proposes a new method of retrieving images from large image databases. The method is based on VQ(Vector Quantization) of local texture information at interest points automatically detected in an image. The texture features are extracted by Gabor wavelet filter bank, and rearranged for rotation. These features are classified by VQ and then construct a pattern histogram. Retrievals are performed by just comparing pattern histograms between images. Experimental results have shown the robustness of the proposed method to image rotation, small scale change, noise addition and brightness change and also shown the possibility of the retrieval by a partial image.

In this paper, we propose an idea for the improved 3-D sound system using conventional stereo headphones to obtain a better sound diffusion from the mono-sound recorded at an anechoic chamber. We use the HRTF(Head Related Transfer Function) for the sound localization and the wavelet filter bank with time delay for the sound diffusion. And we test the modified HRTF with the various sampling rate. We investigate the effects of the 3-D sound depending on the length of time delay at lowest frequency band. Also the correlation coefficient of the signals between the left channel and the right channel is measured to identify the sound diffusion. At last we obtain the diffusion sound using Cool Edit for reverberation.

This paper presents multipurpose watermarking scheme in coutourlet transform domain for copyright protection, authentication and transform detection. Since contourlet transform can detect more multi direction edge and smooth contour than wavelet transform, the proposed scheme embeds multi watermarks in contourlet domain based on 4-level Laplacian pyramid and 2-level directional filter bank. In the first stage of the robust watermarking scheme for copyright protection, we generates the sequence of circle patterns according to watermark bits and projects these patterns into the average of magnitude coefficients of high frequency directional subbands. Then the watermark bit is embedded into variance distribution of the projected magnitude coefficients. In the second stage that is the semi-fragile watermarking scheme for authentication and transform detection, we embed the binary watermark image in the low frequency subband of higher level by using adaptive quantization modulation scheme. From the evaluation experiment using Checkmark 2.1, we verified that the proposed scheme is superior to the conventional scheme in a view of the robustness and the invisibility.
