Recently, electronic devices is produced by multilayer structure, therefore analysis for hidden layers is important nondestructive inspection. This paper presents visibility enhancement methods for the ultrasonic multiple echoes reflected from adhesive layer in the multilayers using digital signal processing. The reflected signals from the multilayers come out interval of the peaks in the power cepstrum. In the experiment, the adhesive layers of settled thickness using epoxy were formed. The reflected signals from the multilayer is detected by pulse-echo method and power cepstrum is processed for enhancement of visibility.

Real-time implementations of the active adaptive noise controller are proposed and tested. There are three problems in active noise control such as real-time processing, an acoustic feedback of secondary signal and a time-delay of control system elements. For real-time processing, the DSP56001 was used. To avoid acoustic feedback, the secondary signal was excluded from prediction. And for compensation of time delay, the ahead prediction was applied. As the primary noise is reflected in space, the reflected noise should be controlled for perfect noise control. But in this case, the controller might be unstable. For solving the problem, it is proposed that the source noise and the reflected noise are predicted separately. Some experimental results show the stability and effectiveness of the proposed controller.

This paper is a part of developing a computer code that can be used to generate synthetic IR images by calculating the outgoing infrared signal from objects. To predict the reflected component that is a part of the outgoing IR signal, such as those components reflected from the target surface by the solar and sky irradiations, it is necessary to calculate the complicated BRDF values for considering the directional surface reflection characteristics. Since the calculation of reflectance using the BRDF requires a large amount of computation time due to the hemispherical integral term, it is frequently restricted in applying for a real-time prediction of IR signal. In this research, the simplified method for calculating IR reflected component has been proposed by replacing the integral terms into two parts, a directionally uniform component and a step function representing the specular component, to reduce computation time. The proposed method is proved to result in very fast calculation of the BRDF (up to 600 times faster calculations) for most of the surfaces with minimal loss of the accuracy.

In this paper, we propose a time-frequency domain reflectometry (TFDR) based measurement method for localizing concentric neutrals corrosion on live underground power cable. It consists of two inductive couplers which can transmit the reference signal into live underground power cable and measure the reflected signals from the impedance discontinuities of concentric neutrals corrosion. In order to compensate the dispersion of the measured reflected signal via inductive coupler, an equalizer based on Wiener filtering is designed. To improve the localizing performance of concentric neutrals corrosion in the vicinity of the measurement point, the reference signal is removed from the measured reflected signals. The localization performance of the proposed method is verified by the concentric neutrals corrosion localization experiment.

In this paper, the features extraction of reflected signals from various type of defects existing in the solid has been studied by Wiener filtering technique. In this experiment, three types of the defect have been considered; a flat cut, a angular cut and a circular hole. All of the defects have the same size, 20mm in diameter and have been located at 45mm in depth from the aluminum surface. In the result of the experiment, it has been found that the wiener filtering technique used for features extraction from the reflected signal corresponding to each defect have been very effective for defect classification.

In this paper, in order to measure the degree of degradation using the reflection coefficient of the probe, the measuring circuit is designed. we put pulse signal into the probe and measure the reflected signal in the circuit. As the condition of engine oil degradation, we can see that the reflected signal was increased and as the engine oil temperature increases, a phenomenon shows that the degradated dielectric constant is decreased. Finally, the theoretical values and measured values of the reflection coefficients of the probe are analyzed.

This paper proposes an improved spread spectrum time domain reflectometry (ISSTDR) using time-frequency correlation and reference signal elimination method in order to have more accurate fault determination and location detection than conventional (SSTDR) despite increased signal attenuation due to the long distance to cable fault location. The proposed method has a two-step process: the first step is to detect a peak location of the reference signal using time-frequency correlation analysis, and the second step is to detect a peak location of the correlation coefficient of the reflected signal by removing the reference signal. The proposed method was validated through comparison with existing SSTDR methods in open-and short-circuit fault detection experiments of low voltage power cables. The experimental results showed that the proposed method can detect correlation coefficients at fault locations accurately despite reflected signal attenuation so that cable faults can be detected more accurately and clearly in comparison to existing methods.

The reflectometry for locating the fault at a cable is the same as a problem estimating the time delay between the incident and the reflected signals. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating the time delay between the two signals. The proposed method is based on the modeling of the Gaussian enveloped linear chirp signal in the Gaussian noise environment. The phase and the instantaneous frequency of the received signal are estimated by linear Kalman filtering. From the estimated instantaneous frequency, we can measure the time interval between the center frequencies of the incident and the reflected signals. The time interval is the same as the time delay between the incident and the reflected signals. In a simulation assuming that the cable has open fault at the end of the cable, the proposed method showed a good result in estimating the time delay.

An irregulary formed chamber was designed and constructed to recognize the direct sound radiated from the sound source and the reflected sound from the walls of the chamber. The sound signal used was tone burst in the frequency response characteristics with the signal detection after transient effect. The direct wave, transient phenomena and the primary reflected sound could be asiily distinguished each other by measurements of the arrival time of the time difference. And also noise could be easily distinguished by the same method. The result obtained can be used in industries for automatic measurement of the sound pressure reponse characteristics with respect to frequencies.

The stud bolt is one of crucial parts for safe operation of reactor vessels in nuclear power plants, Crack initiation and propagation were reported in stud bolts that arc used for closure of reactor vessel and head, Stud bolts are inspected by ultrasonic technique during overhaul periodically for the prevention of stud bolt failure which could induce radioactive leakage from nuclear reactor, In conventional ultrasonic testing for inspection of stud bolts, cracks are detected by using shadow effect It takes too much time to inspect stud bolts by using conventional ultrasonic technique. In addition, there were numerous spurious signals reflected from every oblique surfaces of thread, In this study, the signal processing technique for enhancing conventional ultrasonic technique was introduced for inspecting stud bolts. The signal processing technique provides removing spurious signal reflected from every oblique surfaces of thread and enhances detectability of defects. Detectability for small crack was enhanced by using this signal processing in ultrasonic inspection of stud bolts in Nuclear Power Plants.
