In this paper, the efficiency of a sensorless method with square-wave injection for a low-cost inverter, so called B4 inverter is presented. This inverter comprises only 4 switches to reduce system cost. It is distinguished from the conventional B6 inverter that has 6 of switching elements. The B4 inverter, injected a 1 kHz of harmonic wave, has been modelled using the functions and library in Matlab/Simulink. This paper described each component of sensorless algorithm. Among them, the Notch Filter is used to extract the harmonic component of the phase current and a second-order low-pass filter was used to reduce the ripple of the estimated speed. It is shown through simulation that the rotor angle of a permanent magnet synchronous motor is detected by multiplying the current waveform extracted using the notch filter by the harmonic voltage. The feasibility of the proposed method is shown through Simulink simulation.

Blocking and ringing artifacts continue to be the most serious defects that occur in images and video streams compressed to low bit rates using block-based discrete cosine transform(DCT) compression standards. These artifacts contain the high frequency components near the block and the edge boundaries. Usually the lowpass filter can remove them. However, simple lowpass filter results into blur by removing important information such as edges at the same time. To overcome these problems, we propose a novel postfiltering algorithm that calculate the weight value based on the intensity similarity in the neighboring pixels and multiply this weight to the Gaussian lowpass filter coefficient. Experimental results show that the proposed technique provides satisfactory performance in both objective and subjective image quality.

본 논문에서는 영상의 화질 개선을 위해 일반적으로 사용되는 방법인 미디안 필터와 샤프닝 필터의 단점들을 개선한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 영상의 통계적 정보를 이용하여 평탄영역과 평탄하지 않은 영역을 구분하고 각 영역에 대해 저주파 통과 필터와 고주파 통과필터를 각기 다르게 적용하여 기존의 다른 화질 개선 필터 보다 향상된 개선 효과를 기대 할 수 있다. 또한 적용할 스케일 값의 크기만 결정하면 각 화소에서의 범주와 세기는 영상의 통계적 정보를 이용한 매핑 함수를 통해 자동으로 생성된다. 따라서 기존의 미디안 필터와 샤프닝 필터가 가지고 있던 복잡한 파라메터의 설정과정이 필요 없이 평탄영역에서의 잡음제거 및 블러링 효과와 활동성이 높은 영역에서의 선명화 효과를 동시에 얻을 수 있다.

In this paper, a Ka-band LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic) narrow bandpass filter (BPF) is firstly presented. This BPF shows very narrow 3dB fractional bandwidth of 4.5 ％ centered at 28.7㎓. The advantages of multi-layered LTCC technology such as high integration and vertical stacking capabilities were employed to design three-dimensional interdigital end-coupled embedded microstrip narrow BPF. The difficulties in controlling the precise distance between two adjacent resonators in LTCC end-coupled BPF were overcome by locating the resonators on different layers. The measured insertion loss is 3dB at 28.7㎓, pass band is from 27.9 ㎓ to 29.2 ㎓, and the return loss in the pass band is less than 10 dB.

In this paper, we proposed a novel compact microstrip lowpass filter with an ultra-wide stopband and a sharp cutoff frequency response. To improve the cutoff response of the conventional filter, the coupling effect between two open stubs is used. The slot on the ground with conventional shunt open stubs plays an important role of increasing the stopband at a high frequency. The combination of these structures gives the filter the characteristics of an ultra-wide stopband with a prominent cutoff sharpness. The fabricated microstrip lowpass filter with the size of 19.2 mm $\times$ 14.9 mm has -3 dB cutoff frequency at 1.1 GHz and -20 dB stopband from 1.5 GHz to over 30 GHz. The insertion loss is less than -0.15 dB in the passband.

In this study, I studied on the principle of OTA and it's basic application. Here, I designed second order filter using OTA. This filter has three inputs and one output. If we use each one input among them, we can get a low pass, high pass and band pass output. In the result of the computer simulation. the linear characteristics was superior to the conventional Op-Amp filter. And this circuit is advantageous to making an IC. This will be used to the communication system which has the low distortion and high frequency circuit. This study will have to be continued to form a higher order filter using OTA.

In this paper, the split-ring DGS resonator is proposed and its equivalent circuit are analyzed to design the low pass filter. Compared with the conventional dumbell DGS cell, this structure has a flat fluctuation in low frequency range and a sharp slop at edge frequency. The out-band suppression of the SRR-DGS cell can be improved by placing the open stubs on the conductor line which operates as parallel capacitances. Making use of equivalent circuit analytical method, the characteristics of the improved SRR DGS cell are investigated and applied to design compact low pass filter, which has a low in-band loss, sharp slop and high suppression of more than 35dB within a wide out-band frequency range. The dependence of the transmission characteristic on the dimension of a split ring, such as side-length and split-gap, is analyzed in detail. In addition, an improved SRR DGS cell model with open stubs loaded on the conductor line is then presented to improve the out-band suppression. By using the equivalent-circuit analytical method, an S-band microstrip low-pass filter with perfect low-pass characteristic and high out-band suppression is designed and fabricated.

Most video codecs including the international standards use the block-based hybrid structure for efficient compression. But for low bit-rate applications such as video transmission through wireless channels, the blocking artifacts degrade image qualify seriously. In this paper, we propose an adaptive de-blocking algorithm using characteristics of the block boundaries. Blocking artifacts contain the high frequency components near the block boundaries, therefore the lowpass filtering can remove them. However, simple lowpass filtering results into blurring by removing important information such as edges. To overcome this problem, we determine the modes depending upon the characteristics of pixels adjacent to block boundary then proper filter is applied to each area. Simulation results show that proposed method improves de-blocking performance compared to that of MPEG-4.
