에너지 차분 흥부 X선 화상으로부터 폐종류 음영을 검출하기 위한 필터를 예측해서 전문의의 진단보조 혹은 총합자동진단시스템의 구성 요소로서 필터가 발휘한 역할을 고려한 후, 구체적인 성능 평가 방법을 제안한다. 필터의 성능을 평가할 때 문턱값을 변화시킨 경우, 못보고 빠트린 비율과 잘못 본 비율의 변화를 ROC 곡선으로 나타내어 이것에 기초한 판단을 행하는 접근방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와같은 평가에 대한 구체적인 예를 통하여 문제점을 명확히 하여 그 평가기준을 마련한다. 성능 평가를 행하기 위해 이용된 에너지 차분화상으로서, 임상 데이터 14개의 증예를 이용한다. 즉, 총 종류수 32개 한 개의 증예에 있어서 종류의 개수는 1~8개로 평균 2개, 1mm 당 샘플링 간격 5 픽셀, 비트 분해능 10 bit의 저압화상으로, 그 크기는 1760$\times$1760이다. 계산기 하드웨어의 제약으로부터 원화상을 가우스 함수로 평활화 해서 1/8로 축소한 화상으로 실험을 행한다. 상기 평가 절차에 따라, 이전에 개발된 다중해상도 ∇$^2$G 필터의 성능을 평가하고, 단일해상도 ∇$^2$G 필터와의 비교를 통해 그 성능이 우수함을 확인한다. 본 평가 방법은 화상진단 지원용 필터의 평가에 대해서 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

캐시 에너지의 소비 전력을 줄이기 위해 필터 캐시가 제안되었다. 필터 캐시의 사용으로 인해 많은 전력 사용 감소 효과를 가져왔으나, 상대적으로 시스템 성능도 더불어 감소하게 되었다. 필터 캐시의 사용으로 인한 성능 감소를 최소화하기 위해서, 본 논문에서는 기존에 제안된 주요 필터 캐시 예측 모델들을 소개하며, 각각의 방식에 있어서의 핵심 특징 및 해당 방식의 문제점을 분석한다. 이를 바탕으로 본 논문에서는 모드 선택 비트를 활용하는 개선된 형태의 새로운 필터 캐시 예측기 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 MSB라 불리는 참조 비트를 고안하여, 이를 기존의 필터캐시와 BTB에 새롭게 활용한다. 실험 결과, 제안된 방식은 기존 방식 대비, 전력 소모량 시간 지연면에서 평균 5%의 성능 향상을 가져 왔다.

In this paper, we propose an average approximation filter which can effectively remove the noises of the images. The noises include impulse noises, gaussian noises and mixed noises. The algorithm is as follows. First, as a step of noise detection, we find whether the difference between the pixel value and the average value is greater than the threshold value or not after getting the average value that removed the minimum and maximum values in the applied mask. If the pixel value is greater than the threshold value, the pixel value is processed as noise. If it is less than or equal to the threshold value, it is processed as non-noise. Next, as the noise reduction step, we output the approximate value in mask as the pixel value and the average value except the minimum and maximum values of the pixel including the noise. As the result of applying this average approximation filter to the mixed noise images, the approximation filter can reduce the noises effectively more than 0.4[dB] as compared with applying the median filter and the average filter, respectively.

A discrete-time(DT) filter with high-order temporal moving average(TMA) using actively-weighted charge sampling is proposed in this paper. To obtain different weight of sampled charge, the variable transconductance OTA is used prior to charge sampler, and the ratio of charge can be effectively weighted by switching the control transistors in the OTA. As a result, high-order TMA operation can be possible by actively-weighted charge sampling. In addition, the transconductance generated by the OTA is relatively accurate and stable by using the size ratio of the control transistors. The high-order TMA filter has small size, increased voltage gain, and low parasitic effects due to the small amount of switches and sampling capacitors. It is implemented in the TSMC $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process by TMA-$2^2$. The simulated voltage gain is about 16.7 dB, and P1dB and IIP3 are -32.5 dBm and -23.7 dBm, respectively. DC current consumption is about 9.7 mA.

In this paper, we perform a performance analysis of serial acquisition scheme using AWGN rejection filter in Rayleigh fading channel and propose robust acquisition scheme using Reference filter, which is utilized to vary threshold at fading rate, in Rayleigh fading channel. AWGN rejection filter is utilized to evaluate running average for compensating channel gain. The JAKE model, which a channel model, is used for the analysis. The simulation result shows that the mean acquisition time of the proposed acquisition system is minimized than acquisition system using AWGN rejection filter and serial-search acquisition system.

Generally, images are corrupted by the impulse or AWGN and there are cases where both of these noises are added at once. When it comes to eliminating the noises added to the image, the previous median filter is effective in removing the impulse noise and the average filter is effective for removing AWGN. However, when the complex noises are added, it lacks the noise suppression characteristics, thus in this paper, a non-linear filter algorithm for removing the complex noises was proposed. The simulation results shows the proposed algorithm has excellent de-noising capabilities of compare existing methods.

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a moving average (MA) channel estimation filter when space-time block coding transmit diversity (STBC-TD) is applied to the wideband direct sequence code division multiple access (WCDMA) forward link. And we present the infinite impulse response (IIR) filter scheme that can reduce the required memory buffer and the channel estimation delay time. This paper also compares the performance between MA filter scheme and IIR filter scheme in various Rayleigh fading channel environments through the bit error rate (BER) and the frame error rate (FER). Extensive computer simulation results show that transmission with STBC-TD provides a significant gain in performance over no transmit diversity technique, particularly at pedestrian speeds. If STBC-TD technique is employed in the channel estimator based on MA filter, it provides considerable performance gains against Rayleigh fading and reduces the optimum filter tap number. Consequently, the channel estimation delay time and the complexity of the receiver are reduced. In addition, the channel estimator based on IIR filter has the advantages such as little memory requirement and no delay time compared to the MA scheme. However, IIR filter coefficients is very sensitive to the mobile speed change and it exerts a serious influence upon the performance. For that reason, it is important to set uP the optimum IIR filter coefficients.

In this thesis, a 2 stage 6-pole bandpass filter(BPF) is designed and implemented by using triple-mode cavity for satellite payload system. The BPF has a 100MHz bandwidth at the center frequency of 14.5GHz(Ku-band) and the response of the filter is the Chebyshev function. The cavity filter uses two orthogonal $TE_{113}$ modes and one $TM_{012}$ mode. The coupling between the adjacent cavityes(intercavity coupling) results in a Chebyshev response and is accomplished by only H-filed component of TE modes. The size and location of intercavity slot is determined by the coupling equation from E- and H-field of TE and TM resonant modes in circular cavity. The 2-stage 6-pole triple-mode cavity BPF has the insertion loss of 2.4dB and the reflection loss of 15dB in the passband. The triple-mode BPF proposed in this thesis can be used as channel filters for satellite payload system and can minimize filter assembly in general wireless communication system.

Recently, with the development of the IT industry, interest in computer convergence technology is increasing in various fields. Especially, in the semiconductor field, a vision system that uses a camera and computer convergence is often used to inspect semiconductor device defects in the production process. Various systems have been studied to remove noise, which is a major cause of degradation in processing of data related to these image processing systems. In this paper, we try to detect defects in BGA (Ball Grid Array) package devices by recognizing defects in advance during mass production. We propose a measurement system using a Gaussian filter, a Median filter, and an Average filter, which are widely used for noise reduction of image data Applying the proposed system to the manufacturing process of the BGA package can be used to judge whether the defect is good or not, and it is expected that productivity will be improved.
