In this paper, we present the return link ACM method to improve the link availability and system throughput for satellite communication service. Also, we describe the optimization of an algorithm for channel prediction using the LMS (Least Mean Square) adaptive filter and the MODCOD (Modulation & Code rate) decision. The simulation results show that the optimized filter taps and step-size of adaptive filter are 2 and 0.00026, respectively. And also confirms the required SNR margin for minimization of MODCOD decision error is 0.3dB.

This paper proposes method to improve the image quality degradation that show when reconstructing compressed images at low bit rate by using wavelet transform. The image quality distortion is blocking artifacts and noise in DCT's compression but blocking artifacts of wavelet transform does not appear and ringing artifacts was appeared near the edge. This proposed technique is classified to part which is ringing artifacts of the edge vicinity appears which is not, apply adaptive filter to each region improved image. A edge region which is harsh to the eye is applied by Canny mask and finding strong edge region, search the neighborhood classify the flat region and the texture region, and apply to each region suitable filter, As experiment result, PSNR value of method that is proposed in that low bit rate compression image that ringing artifact appears became low about 0.05db, but 0.023db degree rose strong edge region and nat region's image. Also, showed picture quality improved more than ringing artifacts in nat region when see from subjective viewpoint of human.

ATSC 지상파 DTV 시스템에서 심볼 타이밍 동기 성능 개선을 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 일반적으로 심볼 타이밍 동기를 위해 사용되는 가드너 방법은 다중 경로 페이딩 환경에서 성능이 좋지만 지터에 의해 성능 열화가 발생한다. 지터량는 루프 필터 대역폭이 작을수록 작아지지만, 수렴속도는 느려지게 된다. 수렴속도는 빠르면서 수렴 후 지터량를 감소시키기 위해 일정시간마다 루프필터의 출력 값을 평균하고 이 평균값을 이용하여 옵셋량을 추정한 후 추정된 옵셋의 변화율에 따라 루프 필터의 대역폭을 줄여 지터의 크기를 줄이는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

In this paper, a 5Gb/s receiver with an adaptive equalizer for serial link interfaces is proposed. For effective gain control, a least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm was implemented with two internal signals of slicers instead of output node of an equalizing filter. The scheme does not affect on a bandwidth of the equalizing filter. It also can be implemented without passive filter and it saves chip area and power consumption since two internal signals of slicers have a similar DC magnitude. The proposed adaptive equalizer can compensate up to 25dB and operate in various environments, which are 15m shield-twisted pair (STP) cable for DisplayPort and FR-4 traces for backplane. This work is implemented in $0.18-{\mu}m$ 1-poly 4-metal CMOS technology and occupies $200{\times}300{\mu}m^2$. Measurement results show only 6mW small power consumption and 2Gbps operating range with fabricated chip. The equalizer is expected to satisfy up to 5Gbps operating range if stable varactor(RF) is supported by foundry process.

In this paper, we propose an enhancement of the ultrasonic image for non-destructive inspection of aircraft composite materials. The ultrasonic images are corrupted by a speckle noise which has the characteristic of granular pattern noise and is in all types of coherent imaging systems, the signal independent and multiplicative noise. In this paper, we derive a filter, called the AWLF(Adaptive Window Log Filter), from the nature of the speckle. The filter is made of the MEAN Filter in the edge region and Log Filter in the flat or noise region. To make a distinction between edge and flat region, we calculate the inclination around the local window instead of computing the local statistics of pixels such as local mean ${\bar{M}}$ and standard deviation ${\sigma}_s$. According to the obtained region, edge region is performed by the mean filter and flat region by the Log filter. Performance of the proposed filter is evaluated by the Enhanced Factor$(F_e)$ and the Speckle Index(SI).

Recent advance of digital camera results in that image signal processing techniques are widely adopted to railroad security management. However, due to the nature of railroad management many images are acquired in low light level environment such as night scenes. The lack of light causes lots of noise in the image, which degrades image quality and causes errors in the next processes. 3D noise reducing techniques produce better results by using consecutive sequence of images. On the other hand, they cause degradation such as motion blur if there are motions in the sequence. In this paper, we use an adaptive weight filter to estimate more accurate motions and use the result of the adaptive filter to 3D result to improve objective and subjective mage quality.

In this paper we propose a fast adaptive image restoration filter using DCT-based block classification for reducing block artifacts in compressed images. In order to efficiently reduce block artifacts, edge direction of each block is classified by using the DCT coefficients, and the constrained least square (CLS) on the observation that the quantization operation in a series of coding process is a nonlinear and many-to-one mapping operator. And then we propose an approximated version of constrained optimization technique as a restoration process for removing the nonlinear and space-varying degradation operator. For real-time implementation, the proposed restoration filter can be realized in the form of a truncated FIR filter, which is suitable for postprocessing reconstructed images in HDTV, DVD, or video conference systems.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve target detection rate degradation due to direct blast in a bi-static sonar systems with high duty cycle using an adaptive filters. It is very important to suppress the direct blast in the aforementioned sonar systems because it has a fatal effect on the actual system operation. In this paper, the performance was evaluated by applying the Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) and Recursive Least Square (RLS) algorithms to the simulation and sea experimental data. The beam signals of the target and direct blast bearings were used as the input and desired signals, respectively. By optimizing the difference between the two signals, the direct blast is removed and only the target signal is remained. As a result of evaluating the results of the matched filter in the simulation, it was confirmed that the direct blast was removed to the noise level in both Linear Frequency Modultated (LFM) and Generalized Sinusoidal Frequency Modulated (GSFM), and in the case of GSFM, the target sidelobe decreased by more than 20 dB, thereby improving performance. In the sea experiment, it was confirmed that the LFM reduced the level of the transmitted direct wave by 10 dB, the GSFM reduced the level of the transmitted direct wave by about 4 dB, and the side lobe of the target decreased by about 4 dB, thereby improving the performance.

The techniques of intelligent interference cancellation are used for achieving the improvement of deterioration, which is arisen to the interoperable terminal(GSM and DVB-H). In this paper, we propose a novel system that improve the DVB-H received performance by using the method of an adaptive interference canceller for GSM900 and DVB-H terminal. The interference for the collocated GSM900 and DVB-H receiver is cancelled by using the adaptive canceller with the low-noise ADC(Analog to Digital Converter) in the RF stage.

In this paper, we propose a velocity-adaptive channel estimation scheme using the simple zero-forcing technique in the frequency domain. Channel estimation is performed by removing frequency components that are higher than the maximum Doppler frequency in the received signal. The proposed scheme can be extended to the combined estimation scheme for channel coefficients and mobile velocity using one FFT/IFFT module. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms conventional schemes for a wide range of mobile velocities($3{\sim}300\;Km/h$). Finally, the MSE for the proposed channel estimation scheme is analyzed.
