Detection of the existence of a desired user is considered in this paper. We assume that the signal to noise ratio is high enough for us to ignore the effects of noise compared with those of the interference by other users. The inter-user interference and user signals are modeled by the Nakagami model. An observation model for this situation is proposed, the locally optimum test statistic is derived under the model, and the asymptotic performance of the locally optimum detector is compared with of the envelope detector. We show that the locally optimum detector performs better than the conventional envelope detector.

Voice conversion (VC) is a technique for modifying the speech signal of a source speaker so that it sounds as if it is spoken by a target speaker. Most previous VC approaches used a linear transformation function based on GMM to convert the source spectral envelope to the target spectral envelope. In this paper, we propose several nonlinear GMM-based transformation functions in an attempt to deal with the over-smoothing effect of linear transformation. In order to obtain high-quality modifications of speech signals our VC system is implemented using the Harmonic plus Noise Model (HNM)analysis/synthesis framework. Experimental results are reported on the English corpus, MOCHA-TlMlT.

본 논문에서는 2.6 GHz에 설계된 고출력 전력증폭기에 DDBS(Digitally-controlled Dynamic Bias Switching)를 적용하여 평균 전력에서 효율을 개선하였다. DBS는 제어 신호에 따라 전력 증폭기에 두 단계의 드레인 전압을 인가하여 효율을 개선하는 기술이다. DBS의 제어 신호를 디지털로 처리하여 제어가 매우 용이하였다. 2.6 GHz의 중심 주파수와 10 MHz 대역폭, 9.5 dB의 PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)을 갖는 64 QAM FDD LTE 신호를 사용하여 측정한 결과, DDBS를 적용하여 전력증폭기의 PAE(Power-Added Efficiency)을 평균 전력 43 dBm에서 40.9 %에서 48 %로 증가시켰다.

This paper investigates the soundness of porcelain insulators associated with the acoustic emission (AE) technique. The AE technique is a popular non-destructive method that measures and analyzes the burst energy that occurs mainly when a crack occurs in a high-frequency region. Typical AE methods require continuous monitoring with frequent sensor calibration. However, in this study, the AE technique excites a porcelain insulator using only an impact hammer, and it applies a high-pass filter to the signal frequency range measured only in the AE sensor by comparing the AE and the acceleration sensors. Next, the extracted time-domain signal is analyzed for the damage assessment. In normal signals, the duration is about 2ms, the area of the envelope is about 1,000, and the number of counts is about 20. In the damage signal, the duration exceeds 5ms, the area of the envelope is about 2,000, and the number of counts exceeds 40. In addition, various characteristics in the time and frequency domain for normal and damage cases are analyzed using the short-time Fourier transform (STFT). Based on the results of the STFT analysis, the maximum energy of a normal specimen is less than 0.02, while in the case of the damage specimen, it exceeds 0.02. The extracted high-frequency components can present dynamic behavior of crack regions and eigenmodes of the isolated insulator parts, but the presence, size, and distribution of cracks can be predicted indirectly. In this regard, the characteristics of the surface crack region were derived in this study.

본 논문에서는 선형성 증가를 위해 도허티 증폭기의 게이트 바이어스를 조정하는 방식을 제시하였다. 도허티 증폭기의 선형성 향상은 출력 결합 지점에서의 고조파 상쇄를 통해 이루어진다. 하지만 고조파의 상쇄는 그 크기와 위상이 출력 지점에서 같은 크기와 서로 다른 위상을 가지고 있어야 이루어질 수 있는데, 넓은 출력 전력 범위에서 위와 같은 조건을 만족시키는 것은 쉽지 않다. 선형성 증가를 위해 도허티 증폭기의 캐리어 증폭기와 피킹 증폭기의 선형성 특성을 입력 전력과 각 증폭기의 게이트 바이어스를 조정함으로써 살펴보았다. 살펴본 특성을 기본으로 하여 고조파 상쇄 전력 범위를 증가시키기 위해, 각 전력 레벨에 맞는 게이트 바이어스를 증폭기에 인가하였다. 게이트 바이어스 제어를 통한 선형성 향상을 알아보기 위해, 2.345 GHz에서 Eudyna사의 10-W PEP GaN HEMT EGN010MK 소자를 이용하여 도허티 전력 증폭기를 설계하였고, $P_{1dB}$로부터 10 dB back-off 지점인 33 dBm에서 고효율과 고선형성을 위해 최적화 되었다. WCDMA 1-FA 신호에 대해 제안된 게이트 바이어스 컨트롤 된 도허티 증폭기는 2.8 dB의 선형성 개선을 확인할 수 있었으며, 26 %의 PAE를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 802.16-2004 신호에 대해 RCE가 2 dB 증가됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper introduces a new technique for estimating the speed of a mobile station in a wireless system. The proposed method is based on the feature extraction of the received signal envelope. The undecimated discrete wavelet transform via lifting captures local minimum points of the received signal, which is used for the speed estimation. This technique requires neither knowledge of the average received power of the nonstationary signal nor adaptation of a temporal observation window, in contrast to other speed estimators given in the literature. Simulations show that the proposed speed estimator tracks the variable speed of the mobile station.

On the assumption that the voices of the cows are produced by the linear prediction filter, we characterized the cows’voices. The order of this filter was determined by examining the voice characteristics both in time and frequency domains. The proposed order of the linear prediction filter is 15 for modeling voice production of the cow. The characteristics of the amplitude envelope of the voice signal was investigated by analyzing the sequence of the short time variance both in time and frequency domains, and the new parameters were defined. One of the coefficients o the linear prediction filter generating the voice signal, the fundamental frequency, the slope of the straight line regressed from the log-log spectra of the short time variance and the coefficients of the linear prediction filter generating the sequence of the short time variance of the voice signal can differentiate the two cows.

An echo signal in the active sonar using a high frequency is mainly formed of a specular reflection from the surface of an object along with several equivalent scatter inside, which are characterized by the spatial distribution of the highlights on the object. This thesis proposed a model in which the synthesized echo signal can be expressed as a distributed simulated target. The proposed model is obtained after composing a signal based on the movement of highlights relative to the aspect angle from the discontinuous point of an external hull with a strong reflection from a spheroid underwater target. Because the proposed algorithm includes a synthesis of the signals related to the highlight spacial distribution, it can be applied to all kinds of systems used at a short range, and similar results were obtained to the actual measured results of all reflected signals in previous literature referring to the irregular factor application of an envelope.

A binary continuous phase frequency shift keying (CPFSK), whose phase is a continuous function of time and instantaneous frequency is constant, is a bandwidth efficient constant envelope signalling scheme. A transmitting signal is formed by combined coding of a convolutional encoder and a binary CPFSK modulator. The signal is transmitted throuth additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel. If the received signal is detected by a coherent maximum likelihood(ML) receiver, error probability can be expressed approximately in terms of minimum Euclidean distance. We propose rate 2/4 codes for the improvement of error performance without increating the data rate per bandwidth and the receiver complexity. Its minimum Euclidean distances are compared with those of rate \ulcornercodes as a function of modulation index and observation interval.

본 논문에서는 1:2:2의 비대칭 3-stage 도허티 전력 증폭기의 동작을 살펴보고, Freescale사의 4 W, 10 W LDMOSFET을 이용하여 1 GHz에서 구현하였다. 두 번의 최대 효율 특성을 갖는 N-way 도허티 전력 증폭기와 비교 하였을 때, 비대칭 3-stage 도허티 전력 증폭기는 세 번의 최대 효율 특성을 갖도록 함으로써 백 오프된 출력 전력영역에서의 심각한 효율 저하를 극복할 수 있고, 주어진 변조 신호에서의 평균 효율을 최대화 할 수 있다. 효율 특성을 더욱 최적화하기 위해, 역 F급 전력 증폭기를 캐리어 및 피킹 전력 증폭기로 설계하였다. 또한, 적절한 로드모듈레이션 동작을 이끌어내기 위해, 포락선 추적 방법에 근거한 적응 게이트 바이어스 조절 신호를 두 개의 피킹 전력 증폭기에 인가하였다. 8.5 dB의 PAPR을 갖는 802.16e Mobile WiMAX 신호에 대해 제안된 비대칭 도허티 전력 증폭기는 36.85 dBm에서 55.46 %의 높은 효율 특성을 얻었고, -37.23 dB의 우수한 RCE 특성을 유지하였다. 본 논문에서는 처음으로 포화 증폭기와 적응 게이트 바이어스 조절 신호를 비대칭 3-stage 도허티 전력 증폭기에 적용하였으며, 이를 통해 기지국용 고효율 전력 송신기의 설계가 구현 가능함을 성공적으로 검증하였다.
