We propose a weighted time-reversal prefilter for indoor wireless communication systems. In the indoor wireless communication environments, the bit error rate (BER) performance is significantly degraded by the delay spread. The conventional schemes have complex receivers to recover deterioration of the BER. The proposed time-reversal prefilter simplifies the structure of receivers, minimizes the inter-symbol interference (ISI) and maintains the peak power level of the received signal. The simulation results show that the weighted time-reversal prefilter improves the BER performance in comparison with the conventional time-reversal prefilter.

We evaluate the performance of the time-reversal (TR) prefilter and the weighted TR prefilter in an indoor wireless communication system with channel estimation errors. The TR prefilter uses a time-reversed channel as a prefilter to maximize received peak power. The equivalent channel of the TR prefilter is an 공분산 of the channel and the received peak power is maximized. When there are channel estimation errors, the equivalent channel is not an 공분산 of the channel and the received peak power cannot be maximized. The weighted TR prefilter minimizes the inter-symbol interference and maintains the received peak power. Thus, even when there are some channel estimation errors, the weighted TR prefilter can guarantee the received peak power.

We propose a double time reversal (TR) prefilter for high data rate and minimum interference in multi-user indoor communication system. A conventional TR prefilter degrades bit error rate (BER) performance significantly because it cannot remove the interference perfectly. As the symbol duration is close, the BER performance is deteriorated. Since the proposed scheme aims to minimize interference, high data rate is realized without the performance degradation and the complexity of receiver is reduced through an additional prefilter design. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed scheme is improved as the number of users is increased or the data rate becomes high.

The underwater acoustic communication is characterized by doubly spread channels, which are the delay spread due to multiple paths and the doppler spread due to environmental fluctuations or a moving platform. An equalizer is used to remove the inter-symbol interferences that the delay spread causes, but an equalizer doesn't use an acoustic environment such as a multipath. However, a passive time-reversal mirror is simpler than an equalizer because a matched filter is implemented numerically at the receiver structure along with one-way propagation. In this paper, a passive time-reversal mirror is applied to remove interferences due to a multipath in sea-going experimental data in East Sea in Oct. 2010 and improved communication performance is confirmed. The performance is verified by comparing the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio before/after passive time-reversal mirror. It is also performed independently of the passive time-reversal mirror and adaptive equalizer and the bit error rate is compared to verify the performance of underwater acoustic communication.

This paper presents the results for the performance improvement of underwater communication in a passive time reversal mirror (PTRM) using ray-based blind deconvolution (RBD). In conventional PTRM, the signal to be recovered is found from matched-filtering the received probe signal. However, the communication performance is degraded because the time-varying impulse response for each data frame is not reflected in the received probe signal. In this study, the time-variant transfer function is estimated from each received data frame using RBD, and the estimated time-variant transfer function is then used to recover the data signal using PTRM. The results from the experimental data show that the suggested method improves the communication performance when comparing with the conventional PTRM.

The underwater acoustic communication (UAC) is characterized by doubly spread channel. It is included in the time-variant doppler shift and delay-time spreads due to multiple paths. To compensate such distorted signals, various techniques including time-reversal processing, spatial diversity, phase estimator, and equalizer are being applied. In this paper, a spatial filter based on the beamforming is proposed as a method to mitigate such inter-symbol interferences that are generated in time-varying multipath channels. The proposed technique realizes coherent communications by steering the direction of the desired signals and improves the performance of UAC by increasing the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio using the array gain.

The Loose Part Monitoring System(LPMS) has been designed to detect, locate and evaluate detached or loosened parts and foreign objects in the reactor coolant system. In this paper, at first, we presents an application of the back propagation neural network. At the preprocessing step, the moving window average filter is adopted to reject the low frequency background noise components. And then, extracting the acoustic signature such as Starting point of impact signal, Rising time, Half period, and Global time, they are used as the inputs to neural network. Secondly, we applied the neural network algorithm to LPMS in order to estimate the mass of loose parts. We trained the impact test data of YGN3 using the backpropagation method. The input parameter for training is Rising Time, Half Period, Maximum amplitude. The result showed that the neural network would be applied to LPMS. Also, applying the neural network to the Practical false alarm data during startup and impact test signal at nuclear power Plant, the false alarms are reduced effectively. 1.

Recurrent neural networks(RNNs) trained with gradient based such as real time recurrent learning(RTRL) has a drawback of slor convergence rate. This algorithm also needs the derivative calculation which is not trivialized in error back propagation process. In this paper a derivative free Kalman filter, so called the unscented Kalman filter(UKF), for training a fully connected RNN is presented in a state space formulation of the system. A derivative free Kalman filler learning algorithm makes the RNN have fast convergence speed and good tracking performance without the derivative computation. Through experiments of nonlinear channel equalization, performance of the RNNs with a derivative free Kalman filter teaming algorithm is evaluated.
