This paper presents a statistical analysis of the MSE of adaptation for the MPDSAP (Maximally polyphase decomposed Subband Affine Projection) algorithm for the an autoregressive (AR) inputs with P order. In subband structure, the Affine Projection (AP) algorithm is transformed to the Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) algorithm by applying the polyphase decomposition and the noble identity to the adaptive filter. And also, AR input can be pre-whitened by subband filtering with the Orthonormal Analysis Filters(OAF). In the subband structure, the pre-whitening of the AR(P) inputs provides simple and valid approximations for a statistical analysis of the MSE behaviors for the SAP adaptive filter.

The goal of this research is the real-time implementation of an AEC (Acoustic Echo Canceller) using the floating-point digital signal processor of TMS320C31. We employ an FIR-type adaptive filter with the conventional NLMS (Normalized Least Mean Square) algorithm for the adaptation of filter coefficients. We program and optimize the system in the assembler level to make it run in real-time. With 8 kHz sampling rate, the implemented AEC requires $46\;\mu$sec and $77\;\mu$sec computational time per sample for 128-and 256-tap filter, respectively. It corresponds to 37% and 62% of maximum computational ability of TMS320C31 DSP.

확성회의 시스템에서 응용되는 반향신호 제거기는 긴 잔향시간을 갖는 실내 공간의 환경변화에 따라 필터 계수의 갱신에 많은 시간이 요구되어 실시간 처리에 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 연산량 저감을 통한 실시간 처리를 위하여 중첩가산방식의 SSB(Single Side Band) 필터뱅크를 사용한 서브밴드 적응 신호처리법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 입력과 출력의 스펙트럼을 몇 개의 주파수 밴드로 분할하여, 각 밴드를 ES-NLMS(Exponential Step-Normalized Least Mean Square) 알고리즘을 이용하여 적응 처리하는 것이다. 시뮬레이션 결과 중첩가산방식의 SSB 필터뱅크가 풀밴드 보다 ERLE(Echo Return Loss Enhancement)가 1∼2㏈ 정도 작을 때 연산량이 풀밴드 보다 약95%, QMF(Quadrature Mirror Filter)필터뱅크보다 약50% 정도 감소하여 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

이전까지 많은 연구자들은 적응 신호처리(Adaptive Signal Process)를 이용한 잡음 제거 방법을 연구해 왔다. 그러나, 최근 발전하고 있는 멀티콥터는 프로펠러 모터의 RPM(Revolution Per Minute)이 실시간으로 변하기 때문에 적응 신호처리를 이용하여도 깔끔한 결과를 얻어 내기가 어렵다는 한계가 존재한다. 또한, 특정 주파수를 기준으로 형성되는 고조파(Harmonics)는 적응 알고리즘인 (N)LMS 를 이용한 예측에서 오차를 발생시키는 문제를 발생시킨다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 멀티콥터를 이용한 음향 취득에 대한 소음 저감 방법으로 회전 속도계(Tachometer), 콤 필터(Comb Filter), NLMS 알고리즘(Normalized Least Mean Square Algorithm)을 이용한 방법을 제안한다.

Under the condition of a common narrowband target signal and interference signals from several directions, the linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) method using the generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC) for adaptive beamforming has been exploited successfully However, in the case of wideband signals, the length of the adaptive filter must be extended. As a result, the complexity of the beamformer increases, which makes real-time implementation difficult. In this paper, we improve the convergence characteristics of the adaptive filter using the transform domain normalized least mean square (NLMS) approach based on the subband GSC structure without the increase of complexity. Besides, the M-MAX algorithm, which is one of various selective coefficient updating methods, is employed in order to remarkably reduce the computational cost without decreasing the convergence quality. With the combination of these methods, we propose a computationally efficient wideband adaptive beamformer and verify its efficiency through a series of simulations.

In the wideband code division access (WCDMA) systems, a pilot channel is used to determine WCDMA network coverage, cell identification, synchronization, timing acquisition and tracking, user-set handoff, channel estimation, and so on. A wireless repeater, which is deployed in the urban area for the WCDMA system to meet the growing demand on wireless communication services, has the possibility to receive several pilot signals from a large number of base stations, however, cannot distinguish its service base station's signal among them. This pilot interference results in frequent handoffs in the user equipment, which degrades the radio reception, transmission efficiency, quality of service, and channel capacity and increases the unwanted power consumption. In this paper, thus, we propose a pilot pollution interference cancellation scheme using one of the adaptive estimation algorithms, normalized least mean square (NLMS), which is applicable to a wireless repeater. We carried out link-level and network-level computer simulations to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme in a wireless repeater. The simulation results verify the bit error rate (BER) improvement in the link level and the call drop probability improvement in the network level.

Many implantable hearing aids are being developed as alternatives to conventional hearing aids which has inconveniences for use and social stigma that make hearing-impaired people avoid to wear it. Particularly, the fully-implantable middle ear hearing devices (F-IMEHD) are being actively studied for mixed or sensorineural hearing impaired people. In development of F-IMEHD, the most difficult problem is improving the performance of implantable microphone. Recently, Cho et al. have studied the tympanic membrane installed microphone which has better sensitivity and is easier to operate on patient than the microphone implanted under the skin. But, it may cause howling problem due to the feedback signal via oval window and ossicle chain from the transducer on round window in the middle ear cavity, therefore, a feedback canceller is necessary. In this paper, we designed NLMS (normalized least mean square) adaptive feedback canceller for F-IMEHD with tympanic membrane installed microphone and a transducer implemented at round window, and computer simulation was performed to verify its operation. The designed adaptive feedback canceller has a delay filter, a 64 point FIR fixed filter and a 8-tap adaptive FIR filter. Computer simulation of the feedback path is modeled by using the data obtained through human cadaver experiment.

MR(magnetic resonance) image of moving organ such as heart shows serious distortion of MR image due to motion itself. To eliminate motion artifacts, MRI(magnetic resonance imaging) scan sequences requires a trigger pulse like ECG(electro-cardiography) R-wave. ECG-gating using cardiac cycle synchronizes the MRI sequence acquisition to the R-wave in order to eliminate image motion artifacts. In this paper, we designed ECG/PPG(photo-plethysmography) gating system which is for eliminating motion artifacts due to moving organ. This system uses nonmagnetic carbon electrodes, lead wire and shield case for minimizing RF(radio-frequency) pulse and gradient effect. Also, we developed a ECG circuit for preventing saturation by magnetic field and a finger plethysmography sensor using optic fiber. And then, gating pulse is generated by adaptive filtering based on NLMS(normalized least mean square) algorithm. To evaluate the developed system, we measured and compared MR imaging of heart and neck with and without ECG/PPG gating system. As a result, we could get a clean image to be used in clinically. In conclusion, the designed ECG/PPG gating system could be useful method when we get MR imaging of moving organ like a heart.

본 논문에서는, 원거리 음성인식을 위한 서브밴드 필터링 기반의 빠르고 효율적인 에코제거 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 에코제거 시스템은 우선 채널간 유사도 (correlation) 가 높을 경우 적응필터가 오작동하는 것을 방지하기 위해 spatial decorrelation 을 적용하게 된다. 그리고 tree 형태를 가지는 IIR filterbank 기반의 subband 구조를 채택함으로써, 적은 차수로도 효과적인 analysis, synthesis 필터링을 수행할 수 있도록 한다. 이 과정에서 불가피하게 발생하는 서브 밴드간 spectral aliasing은 notch filter를 적용해 해결할 수 있다. 또한 적응 필터로는 improved proportionate normalized least-mean-square (IP-NLMS) 알고리즘을 사용해 수렴속도 및 에코제거 성능에서 우수함을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 decision-directed estimation 기반의 residual echo suppressor를 적용해 잔여 에코를 제거하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 각 단계를 구성하게 된 이론적인 배경을 소개하고, 실제 에코가 존재하는 환경에서 ERLE, 원거리 음성 인식률, computational complexity를 통해 제안하는 에코제거 시스템의 효과를 입증하도록 한다.
