In order to accurately estimate the seismic behavior of buildings, it is important to consider both nonlinear characteristics of the buildings and the frequency dependency of the soil impedance. Therefore, transform methods of the soil impedance in the frequency domain to the impulse response in the time domain are needed because the nonlinear analysis can not be carried out in the frequency domain. The author has proposed practical transform methods. In this paper, seismic response analyses considering frequency dependent soil impedance in the time domain are shown. First, the formulation of the proposed transform methods is described. Then, the linear and nonlinear earthquake response analyses of a building on 2-layered soil were carried out using the transformed impulse responses. Through these analyses, the validity and efficiency of the methods were confirmed.

Medical signal processing requires noise and interference-free inputs for precise segregation and classification operations. However, sensing and transmitting wireless media/devices generate noise that results in signal tampering in feature extractions. To address these issues, this article introduces a finite impulse response design based on a two-level transpose Vedic multiplier. The proposed architecture identifies the zero-noise impulse across the varying sensing intervals. In this process, the first level is the process of transpose array operations with equalization implemented to achieve zero noise at any sensed interval. This transpose occurs between successive array representations of the input with continuity. If the continuity is unavailable, then the noise interruption is considerable and results in signal tampering. The second level of the Vedic multiplier is to optimize the transpose speed for zero-noise segregation. This is performed independently for the zero- and nonzero-noise intervals. Finally, the finite impulse response is estimated as the sum of zero- and nonzero-noise inputs at any finite classification.

In this paper, a hypothesis in order that the impulse response of a stable linear system does not change sign is suggested. For fixed zeros of the systems, the problem of synthesizing such a system is reduced to the problem of finding a proper denominator polynomial so that the step response of the overall system will not overshoot. The hypothesis is associated with the generalized time constant by Kim[5]. Under the hypothesis, we propose several methods that allow to compose a continuous time LTI systems achieving non-negative impulse response.

The spectrum of impulse response signal from an impulse hammer testing is widely used to obtain frequency response function(FRF) of the structure. However the FRFs obtained from impact hammer testing have not only leakage errors but also finite record length errors when the record length for the signal processing is not sufficiently long. The errors cannot be removed with the conventional signal analyzer which treats the signals as if they are always steady and periodic. (omitted)

The spectrum of impulse response signal which is obtained from an impulse hammer testing is used for frequency response function, nevertheless it has serious faults when the record length for the signal processing is not very long. The faults cannot be avoided with the conventional signal analyzer that is processing all the signals as if they are always periodic. The signals generated by the impact hammer are undoubtedly non-periodic because of the damping, and are acquired for limited recording time due to the memory as well as the computation performance of the signal analyzer. This paper will make clear the relation between the faults and the length of recording time, and propose the way for solving the faults.

The transfer function of an acoustic system, in general, often exhibits a wide dynamic range and a very long impulse response. The time-stretched pulse (TSP) proposed by Aoshima (ATSP) has a small peak-factor and is accordingly suitable for the measuring impulse responses. The pulse is not so suitable, however, for the measurement of impulse responses over a wide frequency range. In this paper, we try to generalize and optimize this method (OATSP). This makes the method applicable for measuring of impulse responses longer than the length of the TSP. An analysis of error in such a case is also shown. Finally, we discuss how to implement this technique in specific measurement conditins.

본 논문에서는 OFDM 시스템에서 임펄스 신호를 이용한 채널 추정방법을 제안한다. 채널 응답을 추정하기 위해 주파수 영역에서 새로운 프리엠블을 사용하여 시간영역에서 16샘플 간격으로 4개의 구간으로 나누고, 각 구간에서 임펄스 응답이 나오도록 한다. 이 임펄스 신호들은 한 OFDM 심볼동안에 전송한다. 수신단에서, 각 구간별 임펄스 신호를 더하여 평균을 취한다. 평균된 임펄스 응답에서 최대지연 이후 데이터는 잡음이기 때문에 zero padding을 하여 제거하고 FFT를 수행하여 채널 추정 응답을 찾아낸다. 제안된 채널 추정방법을 이용한 WLAN 시스템의 BER성능은 IEEE802.11a에서 사용하는 긴 훈련신호(long preamble)를 이용한 기존의 채널 추정 방법에 비해 약 3dB 성능 향상을 보인다.

The line-of-sight(LOS) stabilization system is a precision electro-mechanical gimbals assembly for suppressing vibration due to its environment and tracking the target in a desired direction. This paper describes the design of gimbals system to reject the disturbance and to improve stabilization. The controller consists of a DSP with transducer and actuator interfaces. Unknown parameters of the gimbals are estimated by the signal compression method. The cross-correlation coefficient between the impulse response from the assumed model and the one from model of the gimbals is used to obtain the better estimation. The quasi-impulse response through linear element included in the gimbals could be obtained by the signal compression method. The unknown parameter of the linear element could be estimated as comparing the bode plots for impulse response from gimbals with them from model's response.

Through matched filtering synthetic aperture radar (SAR) produces high-resolution imagery from data collected by a relative small antenna. While the impulse response obtained by the matched filter approach produces the best achievable signal-to-noise ratio, large sidelobes must be reduced to obtain higher-resolution SAR images. So, many enhancement methods of SAR imagery have been proposed. As a deconvolution method, the phase-extension inverse filtering is based on the characteristics of the matched filtering used in SAR imaging. It improves spatial resolution as well as effectively suppresses the sidelobes with low computational complexity. In the phase-extension inverse filtering, the impulse response is obtained from simulation with a point target. But in a real SAR environment, for example ERS-1, the impulse response is distorted by many non-ideal factors. So, in the phase-extension inverse filtering for a real SAR processing, the magnitudes of the frequency transfer function have to be compensated to produce more desirable results. In this paper, an estimation method to obtain a more accurate impulse response from a real SAR image is studied. And a compensation scheme to produce better performance of the phase-extension inverse filtering is also introduced.
