The analog-based Ex-core Neutron Flux Monitoring System (ENFMS) in Korean Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) has been performing its intended functions successfully for a long time. On the other hand, the primary concern with the extended use of analog systems is the aging effect, such as mechanical failures, environmental degradation, and obsolescence. The transition to a digital-based Man-Machine Interface Systems (MMIS) in Korea and other countries has been accelerating, but some systems are still analog-based IC systems, such as the ENFMS in APR1400 NPPs. Digitalized ENFMS can become a reality using computers and microprocessors owing to the progress in digital electronics and information technology. This paper presents the result of the first phase of the research on the digitalization of the ENFMS signal processing electronics for NPPs operated or produced in Korea. It has two main parts: (1) review engineering bases of ex-core neutron flux monitoring system, including nuclear engineering, instrumentation techniques, and analog and digital signal processing techniques, and (2) analysis of analog signal processing electronics of ENFMS for OPR1000 and APR1400 power plants. They are prerequisite to the second phase of the research which is the detailed implementation of the digitalization.

Most sensor array signal processing methods for multiple source localization require knowledge of the correct shape of array(the correct positions of sensors that consist array), because sensor position uncertainty can severely degrade the performance of array signal processing. In particular, it is assumed that the correct positions of the sensors are known, but the known positions may not represent the true sensor positions. Various algorithms have been proposed for 2-D sensor array shape calibration in far field environment. However, they are not available in near field. In this paper, 3-D sensor array shape calibration algorithm is proposed, which is available in near field.

The P-ECLMS algorithm adapted the existing Post-Processing method occurs the distortion of the near-end signal at the double-talk situationt. To solve this problem, we propose the SP-ECLMS(Selective Post-Processing ECLMS) algorithm which makes the Post-Processing coefficient differently at the case of the single-talk and the double-talk. When the correlation level is not output less than 30%, the proposed algorithm output the original signal to prevent the signal's distortion.

Since optical delay line signal processing which utilizes optical fiber as delay line elements can provide high speed and broadband signal processing, the optical delay line signal processing has numerous applications. Recently, many research papers which optical delay line signal processing techniques are being applied to OCDMA are published. The author has published paper on the design method for optical fiber filters of lattice structure. However, the previous design method does not realize the transfer function all the time. It can be realized with constraints. In this paper, we propose the design method that can realize the transfer function all the time without any constraints for the optical fiber filter of lattice structure.

This paper presents a development of the multi-channel data acquisition/logging system for a sensor signal processing and a method of the evaluation and a temperature compensation for the A/D converters with the specific analog and digital circuit including the software. Also, we have designed a hardware and a software filters with smart algorithm for better signal processing of the proposed system. Software approach was adopted to obtain the stable data from A/D converter.

In this paper, ground penetrating radar (GPR), which has the capability to detect non metal and plastic mines, is proposed to detect and discriminate antipersonnel (AP) landmines. The time domain GPR - Impulse radar and frequency domain GPR - SFCW (Stepped Frequency Continuous Wave) radar is utilized for metal and non-metal landmine detection and its performance is investigated. Since signal processing is vital for target reorganization and clutter rejection, we implemented the MUSIC (Multiple Signal Classification) algorithm for the signal processing of SFCW radar data and SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) processing method for the signal processing of Impulse radar data.

Real-time adaptive lattice predictor was implemented on the TMS32020 DSP chip for digital signal processing. The implemented system was composed of Input-Output units and centrla processing-control unit and its supporting assembly soft ware. The performance of hardware realization was verified by comparing input signal and one-step prediction signal which are calcualted by the real-time adaptive lattice predictor. As a result, for 4 stage lattice structure, the maximum running frequency was obtained as 6.41 KHz in this experiment.

A high-speed signal processor for Fabry-Perot interferometric sensors using modified ramp modulation is implemented. The main idea for the signal processing is to find a modulation waveform that could induce a linear frequency change in a laser diode to linearize the relationship between the optical phase shift and measurand. It is found that the waveform could be modeled as the addition of a linear term and an exponential term. A signal processor adopting modified ramp modulation technique is implemented and evaluated to find linearity, drift and random walk of $<{\pm}1.5%$, $0.4^{\circ}C$, $5.28{\times}10^{-4}^{\circ}C/{\sqrt{Hz}}$.

In TV sound system, loudspeakers are subject to severe size constraints. The small size of the transducer affects the low frequency signal performance of the system. Bass signal performance contributes significantly to the user perceived sound quality and a good bass signal reproduction is essential. Increasing the sound energy in the bass signal range is an unviable solution since the gain required are exceedingly high and signal distortion occurs because of the speaker overload. Recently methods are being proposed to invoke low frequency illusion using psychoacoustic phenomena of the missing fundamental. This paper proposes a simple and effective signal processing method to create bass signal illusion in TV speakers using the missing fundamental effect, at a complexity of 12 MIPS on Motorola 56371 audio DSP.

We propose an efficient method of de-interlacing in the post-pocessing of HDTV signal. Since the proposed method considers human visual weight, it gives the better performance in the edge information preservation than that of the median filter. The processing time of the proposed method is twice faster than median filter, therefore the proposed method is suitable for the real-time de-interlacing in the post-processing of HDTV signal.
