  • The cognitive radio communication is taking the attentions because the development of the technique came to be possible to analyze wireless signals. In the IEEE 802.22 WRAN Systems[1], how to detect a spectrum and signals is continuously studied. In this paper, we propose the efficient signal detection method using SCF (Spectral Correlation Function). It is easy to detect the signal feature when we are using the SCF. Because most modulated signals have the cyclo-stationarity which is unique for each signal. But the fading channel effected serious influence even though it detects the feature of the signal. We applied LMS(Least Mean Square) filter for the compensation of the signal which is effected the serious influence in the fading channel. And we analyze some signal patterns through the SCF. And we show the unique signal feature of each signal through the SCF method. It is robust for low SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) environment and we can distinguish it in the fading channel using LMS Filter.

  • IoT has been consistently used in various fields such as smart home, wearables, and healthcare. Since IoT devices are small terminals, relatively simple wireless communication protocols such as IEEE 802.15.4 and ISO 18000 series are used. In this paper, we designed the 802.15.4q 2.4 GHz TASK physical layer. Physical protocol data unit of TASK supports bit-level interleaving and shortened BCH encoding. It is spread by unique ternary sequences. There are four spreading factors to choose the data rate according to the communication channel environment. The TASK physical layer was designed using verilog-HDL and verified through the loop-back test of the transceiver. The designed TASK physical layer was implemented in a fpga and tested using MAXIM RFICs. The PER was about 0% at 10 dB SNR. It is expected to be used in small, low power IoT applications.

  • In speech signal processing, it is very important to detect the pitch exactly. The algorithms for pitch extraction that have been proposed until now are not enough to detect the fine pitch in speech signal. Thus we propose the new algorithm which takes advantage of the G-peak extraction. It is the method to find MZCI(maximum zer-crossing interval) which is defined as cut-off bandwidth rate of LPF (low pass filter)and detect the pitch period of the voiced signals. This algorithm performs robustly with a gross error rate of 3.63% even in 0 dB SNR environment. The gross error rate for clean speech is only 0.18%. Also it is able to process all course with speed.

  • A multilevel modulation with selectable constellations is adopted in the downlink subframe modulation of the IEEE 802.16 standard to increase the total throughput. One of the decision factors of the modulation is the location of SS(Subscriber Station) . Also, for the 802.16, low phase noise of local oscillator is needed due to high operating frequency and severe loss in the propagation channel. We investigate the BER of down-link subframe with the phase jitter under the standard's specified LOS(line of sight) and multipath environment with randomly generated SS locations. Simulation results show BER performance degradation for the modulation corresponding to selected constellations and additionally required SNR to achieve 10$\^$-3/ BER under various phase jitter.

  • Voice activity detection (VAD) is important in many areas of speech processing technology. Speech/nonspeech discrimination in noisy environments is a difficult task because the feature parameters used for the VAD are sensitive to the surrounding environments. Thus the VAD performance is severely degraded at low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). In this paper, a new VAD algorithm is proposed based on the degree of voicing and Quantile SNR (QSNR). These two feature parameters are more robust than other features such as energy and spectral entropy in noisy environments. The effectiveness of proposed algorithm is evaluated under the diverse noisy environments in the Aurora2 DB. According to out experiment, the proposed VAD outperforms the ETSI Advanced Frontend VAD.

  • In GNSS, the structure of the navigation message has been improved to increase the flexibility of data addition and transmission, and the robustness of message reception in a low SNR environment. GNSS signals currently being broadcast have a different message structure from each other, and the structure can be largely classified into the fixed structure, the packetized structure, and the packetized and fixed pattern structure. This paper analyzes the features of these three types of structures and compares the performance using the indicators. It can be seen that the performance after adopting the packetized structure is superior to those of other structures. In particular, there has been remarkable improvement in terms of the message management and transmission efficiency.

  • Generally the one of serious problems in Voice Activity Detection (VAD) is speech region detection in noise environment. Therefore, this paper propose the new method using energy, lsp varation. As a result of processing time and speech quality of the proposed algorithm, the processing time is reduced due to the accurate detection of inactive period, and there is almot no difference in the subjective quality test. As a result of bit rate, proposed algorithm measures the number of VAD=1 and the result shows predominant reduction of bit rate as SNR of noisy speech is low (about 5∼10 dB).

  • It is very critical for image processing of IIR (Imaging Infrared) seekers to achieve improved guidance performance for missile systems to determine appropriate thresholds in various environments. In this paper, we propose automatic threshold determination methods for proper thresholds to extract definite target signals in an EOCM (Electro-Optical Countermeasures) environment with low SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratios). In particular, thresholds are found to be too low to extract target signals if one uses the Otsu method so that we suggest a Shifted Otsu method to solve this problem. Also we improve extracting target signal by changing Shifted Otsu thresholds according to the TBR (Target to Background Ratio). The suggested method is tested for real IIR images and the results are compared with the Otsu method. The HPDAF (Highest Probabilistic Data Association Filter) which selects the target originated measurements by taking into account of both signal intensity and statistical distance information is applied in this study.

  • The Global Positioning System (GPS), which has various military and commercial applications, is designed to estimate the location of the specific user or object. In order to accurately estimate the location, GPS requires at least four satellite signals. The GPS receiver operates on extremely low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment and it may suffer from various interference signals with the extremely high power. In this paper, we introduce a blind adaptive receiver based on the modified despreader, which suppress interference signals and detect GPS signals of interest without requiring explicit angle-of-arrival (AOA) information. We, also, provide the mathematical analysis for the signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) of the modified despeader beamformer output. A representative computer simulation example is presented to illustrate the interference suppression performance of the considered GPS receiver and mathematical analysis of the SINR.

  • Due to the extremely short pulse in the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, the accurate synchronization acquisition method is very important for both high data-rate WPAN and low data-rate WPAN. In this paper, we propose the synchronization acquisition algorithm based on two-step signal search method to acquire the synchronization in the UWB multi-path channel. At the first step, the search window is divided by two and the window that has higher power is chosen as a next search window. This operation is repeated until the measure power of the search window is smaller than the threshold value. At the second step, we employ Linear Search algorithm to the search window obtained at the first step for fine search. The proposed algorithm is proved that the synchronization acquisition is faster than the parallel search algorithm and it shows good performance in environment of the SNR extreme changes by the simulation.
