스피커는 입력이 전기신호이고 출력이 소리인 전기 음향 장치로서, 고유의 전달함수를 갖는 하나의 시스템으로 생각할 수 있다. 일한 스피커 시스템의 전달함수는 여러 가지 원인으로 인해 주파수 영역에서 평탄한 특성을 가지지 못하며 선형위상의 조건을 만족시키기가 힘들다. 음색을 변화시키는 스피커의 전달함수를 선형이라고 가정할 때 스피커의 앞단에서 스피커의 선형 전달함수의 역에 해당하는 선형 필터를 추가함으로쏘, 음색의 왜곡은 보정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 스피커의 선형왜곡을 보상하기 위한 선형필터로서 FIR 필터를 사용하였으나, 2장에 제시되어 있는 기존의 알고리듬과는달리 귀의 청감특성을 이용하여 가청주파수 대역에 대해 몇 개의 대역으로 나눈 후, 각 대역마다 보상 할 주파수 해상도를 달리하는 새로운 알고리듬에 대해 기술하였다. 이러한 다해상도 선형왜곡 보상시스템은 각 대역마다 다른 해상도로 보상한다는점에서는 필터뱅크 보상 시스템과 유사하지만, 대역통과필터가 아닌 저역통과필터만을 이용하여 설계의 복잡서응ㄹ 줄였으며 각 대역마다 독립적으로 보상하는 필터뱅크 보상시스템과는 달리 1차 대역에서 보상하지 ath한 오차를 2차, 3차에서 보상하는 새로운 기법을 이용하였다. 본 알고리듬을 적용한 모의실험을 통하여 성능을 평가한 결과 가청음대역에서 ±6dB의 왜곡을 보인 스피커가 실효 tap수를 272로 했을 때 ±0.5dB의 리플을 보이는 양호한 결과를 얻었다.

When finite length signal is the input of QMF banks which are composed of the M-band orthogonal wavelet filter, the boundaries of reconstructed signal are not reconstructed perfectly. For boundary signals to be reconstructed perfectly, different type filters or methods are applied to them. In this paper, the design method of boundary filters which can be reconstructed the boundary signal perfectly was proposed, in case the dimension of M-band decomposed signal is the same as that of input signal. The boundary filters were designed using the perfect reconstruction condition of paraunitary matrix. In an application of subband coding of still image, the proposed boundary filters achieve better PSNR about 5% in reconstructed image than reflected method at the same bit rate.

FIR digital filter is one of important blocks in DSP application. For more effective operation, lots of architecture are proposed. In our paper, we proposed a high speed FIR filter with area efficiency. To fast operation, we used transposed form filter as basic architecute. And, we used dual path registers line to wupport variation of filter operation, and filter cascade is also considered. To reduce area, we adopted truncated Booth multiplier to our filter design. As a result, we showed that filter area is reduced when filter optimization using of dual path registers line and truncated multiplier with same constraints againt previous method.

Computational simulation was performed to analyze flow velocities and particle trajectories onto the surface of bag-shaped filters with a different permeability. When the permeability of a filter is lower than that of a low-efficient fabric bag-filter widely used, the distributions of flow velocities and particle trajectories on the filter surface were not different with decreasing the filter permeability. The distributions of streamlines and radial directional gas velocities were uniform on the filter surface except for the neighbors of the bottom edge and outlet of the filter. The particle trajectories onto filter surface were more densely distributed around the bottom edge of the filter, so that the particle number on the filter surface was maximized near the bottom edge and decreased in the direction of the filter outlet.

When finite length image signal is decomposed into 2-band signal and synthesized using 2-band orthogonal wavelet transform, boundary signals are not reconstructed perfectly. To reconstruct them perfectly, the filters which are different from wavelet filter are applied to the boundary signals. Since the existing boundary filters show poor frequency characteristic, the improvement of performance is bounded in practical applications. In this paper, the design method of improvement of frequency characteristic is proposed using inserting a zero to boundary filters which can reconstruct the boundary regions perfectly. Even though the length of proposed boundary filters is shorter, they show 4.2dB∼6.59dB gains in pass band and stop band error power compared with existing boundary filters. But synthesis process is some complicated.

A semi-pilot biofilter packed with media with immobilized Thiobacillus sp. IW and return sludge, was operated under various operating conditions in order to treat malodorous waste air containing both hydrogen sulfide and ammonia which are major air pollutants emitted from composting factories and many publicly owned treatment works (POTW). At the incipient and middle stages of a semi-pilot biofilter operation, the hydrogen sulfide-removal efficiency behaves regardless of an inlet-load of ammonia. However, the ammonia-removal efficiency decreased as an inlet-load of hydrogen sulfide increased. Nevertheless, at the final stage of the semi-pilot biofilter operation, the ammonia-removal efficiency was not affected by the increase of hydrogen sulfide-inlet load. It is attributed to that a serious acidification of semi-pilot biofilter-media did not occur due to continuous injection of buffer solution at the final stage of the semi-pilot biofilter operation. When both hydrogen sulfide and ammonia contained in malodorous waste air were treated simultaneously by semi-pilot biofilter, the maximum elimination capacities of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia turned out to be ca. 58 and $30g/m^3/h$, respectively. These maximum elimination capacities were estimated to be ca. 39 and 46% less than those for lab-scaled biofilter-separate elimination of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, respectively. Thus, for the simultaneous biofilter-treatment of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, the maximum elimination capacity of ammonia decreased by 7% more than that of hydrogen sulfide.

In this paper, a novel method for designing an M-channel, causal, stable IIR cosine-modulated filter bank (CMFB) with near PR property is proposed. The IIR prototype filter is designed with a simple constraint using lattice stucture with 1st order allpass filter components. The IIR prototype filter which is designed by the proposed method has higher stopband attenuation and sharper roll-off characteristic than the one which is designed by the previously proposed method with similar complexity. The proposed M-channel IIR CMFB which is designed from this IIR prototype filter is applied to subband acoustic echo canceller (AEC). We obtained about 15dB higher ERLE using this subband AEC than when M-channel FIR subband AEC with similar complexity.

The electromagnetic filter has been recognized as a technological replacement for the conventional filtration systems of the nuclear power plant coolant. But, as of now there are neither clear understandings of the phenomena occurring in the electromagnetic filter nor the general theoretical analyses. These facts make the application or the electromagnetic filter to the real systems a little risky, and therefore it has not been commercialized although it shows excellent performances in such situations as the plant abnormality, where the conventional filters usually fail. This experimental study of the low power electromagnetic filter aims at the clarification of the general characteristics under varying operational parameters. Since the detailed characteristics may differ from one electromagnetic filter to another, they are considered secondary. The impurities applied are the highly magnetic magnetite (Fe$_3$O$_4$) and the diamagnetic cuprous oxide (Cu$_2$O). The empirical equations are derived from the experimental data by the regressional analyses. They are classified of three types : Efficiencies vs. Time, Efficiencies vs. Load, and Load vs. Time. The characteristics of the electromagnetic filter observed in this experiment agreed well with other related works in many aspects. Especially in this study, some assumptions and discussions including the physical deposition are combined for the explanations of the filter characteristics found in our and other experimental works.

In this paper, the estimation method for the power signal harmonics is proposed by using the time-varying optimal finite impulse response (FIR) filter. To estimate the magnitude and phase-angle of the harmonic components, the time-varying optimal FIR filter is designed for the state space representation of the noisy power signal which the magnitude and phase is considered as a stochastic process. Since the time-varying optimal FIR filter used in the proposed method does not use any priori information of the initial condition and has FIR structure, the proposed method could overcome the demerits of Kalman filter based method such as poor estimation and divergence problem. Due to the FIR structure, the proposed method is more robust against to the model uncertainty than the Kalman filter. Moreover, the proposed method gives more general solution than the time-invariant optimal FIR filter based harmonic estimation method. To verify the performance and robustness of the proposed method, the proposed method is compared with time-varying Kalman filter based method through simulation.

An image intensifying device is equipment that makes weak objects visible in a dark environment, such as making nighttime bright enough to let objects be visually observed. It is possible to obtain a clear image by amplifying the light in the presence of a certain amount of weak light. However, in an extremely low-light environment, where even moonlight is not present, there is not enough light to amplify anything, and the sharpness of the screen deteriorates. In this paper, a method is proposed to improve image quality by using multiple filters and anisotropic diffusion for output noise of the image-intensifying device in extreme low-light environments. For the experiment, the output of the image-intensifying device was obtained under extremely low-light conditions, and signal processing for improving the image quality was performed. The configuration of the filters for signal processing uses anisotropic diffusion after applying a median filter and a Wiener filter for effective removal of salt-and-pepper noise and Gaussian noise, which constitute the main noise appearing in the image. Experimental results show that the improvement visually enhanced image quality. Both peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and SSIM, which are quantitative indicators, show improved values.
