The design of a new compact band-pass filter is proposed, which is based on the microstrip composite right- and left-handed transmission- line (CRLH-TL) structure. Particularly, the interdigital coupled (IDC) lines of the CRLH geometry are proposed to be parted by inserting open stubs to meet the specifications on the passband. In addition, there is another pair of stubs to complete the design in a limited space. These are considered in the TL-based analysis and the design parameters are calculated by genetic algorithm optimization. The measurement is shown to be acceptable and agreeable with the circuit and electromagnetic field simulations. In addition, the zerothorder resonance (ZOR) phenomenon is verified.

NIR Emission lines from singly-ionized Iron, in particular [Fe II] $1.64{\mu}m$, are good tracer of dense atomic gas in star-forming regions, around evolved stars, and in supernova remnants. We are imaging about 180 square degrees along the Galactic Plane ($6^{\circ}$ < l < $65^{\circ}$;$-1.5^{\circ}$ < b < $+1.5^{\circ}$) with the narrow band filter centered on the [Fe II] $1.64{\mu}m$ line using WFCAM at UKIRT. The observations will complement the UWISH2 survey, which have imaged the same area with the narrow band filter centered on the molecular hydrogen 1-0 S(1) emission line at $2.12{\mu}m$, and probe a dynamically active component of ISM. We present the goals and preliminary results of our survey.

This paper proposes a dry-type surface myoelectric sensor for the myoelectric hand prosthesis. The designed surface myoelectric sensor is composed of skin interface and processing circuits. The skin interface has one reference and two input electrodes, and the reference electrode is located in the center of two input electrodes. Considering the conduction velocity and the median frequency of the myoelectric signal, the inter-electrode distance (IED) between two input electrodes as 18mm, 20mm, and 22mm is selected. The signal processing circuit consists of a differential amplifier with a band pass filter, a band rejection filter for rejecting 60㎐ power-line noise, amplifier, and a level circuit. Using SUS440, six prototype skin interface with different reference electrode shape and IED is fabricated, and their output characteristics are evaluated by output signal obtained from the forearm of a healthy subject. The experimental results show that the skin interface with parallel bar shape and the 18mm IED has a good output characteristics. The fabricated dry-type surface myoelectric sensor is evaluated for the upper-limb amputee.

In this paper, the secant method is adopted to improve a transfer function required by specific filtration properties. It is advantageous over the conventional and widely used 'Template method' in that it enables users to seek the position of a pole which will turn out to meet well the requirements of in-band insertion loss as well as stop-band rejection even after a small number of iterative steps. For validating the proposed method, the transfer function of a 4-pole waveguide filter is targeted.

A low-temperature cofired-ceramic (LTCC) multi-layer ceramic (MLC) band-pass filter (BPF) is presented, which has the benefits of low cost and small size. The BPF is designed for an IMT-2000 handset. The computer-aided design technology is also presented. The BPF with an attenuation pole at below the passband has been discussed and realized. The equivalent circuit of the BPF was established by transmission lines and lumped capacitors. The frequency characteristics of the LTCC-MLC BPF is well acceptable for IMT-2000 application.

In this paper, self-oscillating mixer is designed by small signal S-parameter and series feedback circuit. The input-output matching circuit is accomplished from double stub and additional matching stub. The self-oscillating mixer is oscillating itself and amplifies without any external local oscillator and an intermediate frequency amplifier, so it has advantages in its economical and system simplification. The experimental results show the maximum conversion gain 1.5d B and the noise figure 6.5d B at RF center frequency 4GHz and IF 1.1GHz` output oscillating power 4d Bm, efficiency 13.4%, stability -10MHz/V and -0.5MHz/\ulcornerC at oscillating frequency 5.1GHz.The rejection band loss characteristics in band pass filter and low pass filter are -40d B and -30d B, respectively.

In this paper we have designed and implemented a real-time, full-duplex SBC (sub-band coding) codec at 16kbps using a high speed digital signal processor, NEC 7720. The SBC codec employs a QMF(quadrature mirror filter) filter bank based on the tree structures of two-band analysis-synthesis pairs to partition speech signal into 4 octabe bands. Computer simulation has been done to investigate the effect of fixed-point computation of the NEC 7720. Three different performance measures, the conventional signal-to-noise ratio, the informal listening test, and an LPC(linear predictive coding)distance measure, have been used in this simulation. The necessary parameters have been optimized through the simulation. The developed hardware and software have been tested in real-time operation using a hardware emulator.

In the diagnostic process for automobile, Neuro-Fuzzy technique was compared with the conventional diagnostic method for the verification of performance, and proto-type system was developed. For the utilities of the system, 1/3 octave filter(band-pass filter) and A/D converter were used for data acquisition and then data were analyzed using octave band processing and pattern recognition using hamming network algorithm. In order to raise the reliability of the diagnostic results by considering many operating variables and condition of automobile to be diagnosed, fuzzy inference technique was applied in combining several information. The validation of this diagnostic system was examined through computer simulation and experiment, and it showed an acceptable performance for diagnostic process.

A new method for the simulation of the vehicle's interior road noise is proposed in the present study. The road noise model can synthesize road noise of a vehicle for varying driving speed within a range. In the proposed method, interior road noise is considered as a stochastic time-series, and is modeled by a nonstationary parametric model via two steps. First, each interior road noise signal, obtained from constant speed driving tests performed within a range of speed, is modeled as an autoregressive model whose parameters are estimated by using a standard method. Finally, the parameters obtained for different driving speeds are interpolated based on the varying driving speed to yield a time-varying autoregressive model. To model a full band road noise, audible frequency range is divided into an octave band using a wavelet filter bank, and the road noise in each octave band is modeled.

This paper presents the efficient method to detect the defective detectors of the SWIR band of SPOT 4. The key of this method are to flatten the baseline of the data using high pass band filter instead of differentiation. This method is made up six steps. First step is to apply image enhancement techniques to enhance the lines imaged by defective detector and improve the quality of an image. Second step is processed by summing the enhanced image in line direction. These summed data have the peaks that represent the defective detectors and the curved baseline characterized by the reflectivity of Earth surface. In order to exactly detect these peaks, third step is to flatten the curved baseline using high pass filtering in the frequency domain. In fourth step, the data with flat baseline is normalized to have zero mean and unity standard deviation. In fifth step, the defective detectors are detected using $99.9\%$ confidence interval. Finally, after removing the detected ones in summed data, the steps from third to five are iterated. Three SPOT 4 images, which have different reflectivity of Earth surface and different sensor, were used to validate this method. The overall accuracy of detection for three images was $97.9\%$. This result shows that this method can detect efficiently the lines made by defective detectors.
