Satellite communication systems including the DVB-S2 (Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite Version 2) system require operations under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and large frequency offset values, and the initial frame synchronization process necessitates a robust correlation method. While a variety of conventional correlation structures exist for the initial synchronization, each method has different characteristics and performance in different channel environments. In this paper, we propose new correlation methods which exhibit enhanced performance in low SNR and large frequency offsets, and analyze their performance. The proposed methods use the magnitude sum and vector sum of extended differential correlation values, to maximize the correlation between the received signal and the synchronization sequence by using the spanned differential correlation result. The magnitude sum correlation method has better performance compared to conventional methods including the approximated ML (Maximum likelihood) method for SNR values below 4 dB with or without frequency offsets. The vector sum correlation method has improved performance over the magnitude sum method for channels with relatively small frequency offsets.

본 논문에서는 DS-확산대역 시스템에서 격자형 IIR 노치필터를 이용하여 협대역 간섭신호를 제거한다. 이를 위하여 우선 갑섭신호의 주파수와 파워가 격자형 IIR 노치필터에 의ㅏ형 추정된다. 그리고 또 다른 IIR 노치필터를 수긴기 닾에 위치시키고 노치의 위치가 추정된 갑섭신호의 주파수에 있도록 한다. 그러나 단워원 위에 영점이 존재하는 IIR 노치필터는 간섭신호 뿐만 아니라 노치부분의 신호 성분도 제거하므로 데이터의 왜곡이 발생하게 된다. 따라서 이러한 데이터의 왜곡을 줄이기 위해서 필터의 노치 깊이를 조절하는 알고리듬을 개발하였다. 이를 위해 노치필터 출력의 신호 대 잡음비를 필터 파라미터에 대한 식으로 유도하고 이를 최대로 하는 최적의 노치 깊이를 구하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안한 알고리듬이 기존의 FIR 노치필터나 FIR LMS 알고리듬에 비해 좋은 성능을 갖는다는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 간섭 제거기가 다중 톤 DS/CDMA 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 최근 여러 가지 방법의 간섭 제거기가 제안되고 있으나, 여기서는 Yoon[4] 등이 제안한 간섭 제거기를 사용하였다. 또한 세 가지 종류의 간섭을 고려하였는데 다중 경로 간섭, 채널 간 간섭, 다중 접속 간섭이 그것이다. 이들 간섭 신호들과 가우시안 잡음의 분산을 구하여 신호 대 잡음비를 계산하였으며, 다중 경로 채널에서의 RAKE 수신기와 3단계의 간섭 제거기를 고려하였다. 성능 분석 결과, 간섭 제거기는 다중 톤 CDMA 시스템에서 매우 효과적이며, 최대비 결합 다이버시티와 심볼 당 칩 수를 사용함에 따라 성능이 크게 향상되어 이들 파라메터가 중요한 설계 요소가 될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

To evaluate the usefulness of Volume Axial Mode by comparing analyzing the exposure dose of the patients and the quality of each images from CT images obtained from high pitch mode using the local phantom or volume axial mode to determine the usefulness of he volume axial mode in diagnosing the head and cervical disease in adults. High Pitch Mode, Helical Mode, and Volume axial Mode as adult phantom were tested according to 70 kVp, 80 kVp, and 100 kVp tube voltages during an adult frontal CT scans. The equipment used was GE's Revolution (GE Healthcare, Wisconsin USA) model and iMED X-ray Phantom. The exposure dose of phantom was compared using the images obtained from each protocol, and the image quality was compared by calculating SNR and CNR by setting ROI on each image. When examined using Volume Axial Mode, the exposure dose of phantom was measured 17.12% lower than Helical Mode, 5.35% lower than High Pitch Mode, and both SNR and CNR were improved. Volume Axial Mode is a useful test that reduces investigation time without table movement using high speed rotary scanner, and in which exposure dose is reduced and image quality is improved by acquiring images in a short time of 0.28 seconds of phantom than using High Pitch Mode and Helical Mode. In addition, the fast testing time of Volume Axial Mode can be seen as the biggest advantage CT scans of emergency patients or patients with physical discomfort.

The relation between output SNR and mth harmonic generation is determined for nonlinear system of zero memory type, half wave and the nth power law devices with narrow band form of the unmodulated sinusoidal wave plus zero mean and stationary gaussian noise input. It is found that the optimum generation condition for harmonic component at a small input of SNR is m and n equal 2, while for large input SNR is always n equals 2.

EB(Eigen-Beamforming) has widely been applied to MIMO(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) systems to form beams which maximize the effective signal-to-interference plus noise ratio(SINR) of the receiver using the singular value decomposition(SVD) of the MIMO channel. However, the signal detection performance for the mobile station near the cell boundary is severely degraded and the transmission efficiency decreases due to the influence of the interference signal from the adjacent cells. In this paper, we propose an adaptive interference mitigation method for the EB transmission, and evaluate the reception performance. In particular, a reception strategy which adaptively utilizes optimal combining(OC) and minimum mean-squared error for Intercell spatial demultiplexing(MMSE-lSD) is proposed, and the reception performance is investigated in terms of the effective SINR and system capacity. For the average system capacity, the proposed adaptive reception demonstrates the performance enhancement compared to the conventional EB reception using the receiver beamforming vector, and up to 2 bps/Hz performance gain is achieved for mobile station located at the cell edge.

The design of filters for pattern recognition that have optimal trade-off for the criteria of noise robustness, peak sharpness and Homer efficiency, when input scene noise is spatially disjoint (nonoverlapping) with the target, are presented Three different criteria, ie, signal-to-noise ratio, peak-to-output energy ratio and light efficiency are used to design the filter. Computer simulation is made for the various types of noise and parameters to illustrate filter performance for optical pattern recognition. When we compare the new trade-off filter with the original optimal trade-off filter, the performance of trade-off filter for nonoverlapping background is better than that of trade-off filter for overlapping background.

To evaluate the effect of dose and image quality for Chest Digital Tomosynthesis(CDT) using sensitivity and tube voltage(kV). CDT images of the phantom were acquired varying sensitivity 200, 320, 400 according to set tube voltage of 125 kV and 135 kV. The dose and Dose Area Product(DAP) according to change of sensitivity and kV were evaluated and Image quality was evaluated by PSNR, CNR, SNR using Image J. Dose were lowered 14~23% less than sensitivity 200, 125 kV and DAP were lowered 13~26% less than sensitivity 200, 125 kV. PSNR were over 27 dB, which were significant value and CNR, SNR were better as sensitivity value was lower. But there were different statistical significant to each item. CNR and SNR were not statistically significant at sensitivity 320, 135 kV(P>0.05). CDT can improve image quality with lower radiation dose using better than quality and correction power at digital radiography system.

In the linear transformation method, the original image is divided into a plurality of range blocks, and a partial transform system for finding an optimal domain block existing in the image for each range block is used to adjust the performance of the compression ratio and the picture quality, The nonlinear transformation method uses only the rotation transformation among eight shuffle transforms. Since the search is performed only in the limited domain block, the coding time is faster than the linear transformation method of searching the domain block for any block in the image, Since the optimal domain block for the range block can not be selected in the image, the performance may be lower than other methods. Therefore, the nonlinear transformation method improves the performance by increasing the approximation degree of the brightness coefficient conversion instead of selecting the optimal domain block, The smaller the size of the block, the higher the PSNR value, The higher the compression ratio is increased groups were quadtree block divided to encode the image at best.

We have constructed and characterized a depolarized fiber-optic gyroscope that uses a length of single-mode fiber as a sensing loop fiber. We have also calculated the noise characteristics of the gyroscope and have found an optimum phase modulation depth that gives the highest signal-to-noise ratio in the gyroscope. The random walk coefficient as small as 0.7$\times$10$^{-3}$ deg/√hr was obtained at the modulation depth of around 2.4 rad. The random walk coefficients measured at various modulation depths were found to be in reasonable agreement with the calculation.
