지금까지 궤도회로는 레일을 전기회로의 일부로 사용하여 열차의 위치 검지용으로만 사용하였으나 철도차량이 고속화 되면서, 지상신호의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 차상신호시스템의 사용이 일반화 되어가고 있다. 궤도회로의 전원은 직류나 고전압 임펄스를 사용하던 방식에서 가청주파수를 사용하는 고주파 교류궤도회로의 사용이 일반화 되고 있다. 철도도상도 환경과 궤도의 유지보수성 개선을 위하여 철근콘크리트 도상의 사용이 증대되고 있다. 철근 콘크리트 도상에서 고주파 교류궤도회로를 사용할 경우 도상의 내구성 향상을 위하여 사용되는 수많은 격자모양의 철근들로 인하여 전기적 절연에 의한 누설전류가 아닌 자기결합에 의한 손실로 인한 궤도정수의 변화를 초래할 수 있다. 본 논문은 철근콘크리트도상에서 AF(Audio Frequency)궤도회로를 사용하였을 경우 도상 철근에 의한 궤도회로신호의 영향과 손실을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 알아보고 이를 방지할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.

Purpose: To analyze the possible association between magnetic resonance imaging signal intensity of temporomandibular joint disk and posterior attachment, and the type and extent of disk displacement, disk configuration, effusion and clinical signs in patients with internal derangement. Materials and Methods: Magnetic resonance images of the 132 temporomandibular joints of 66 patients with temporomandibular joint displacement were analyzed. The clinical findings were obtained by retrospective review of the patients' records. The type and extent of disk displacement, disk configuration and effusion were evaluated on the proton density MR images. The signal intensity from the anterior band, posterior band and posterior attachment were measured on MR images. The associations between the type and extent of disk displacement, disk configuration, effusion and clinical signs and the MR signal intensity of disk and posterior attachment were statistically analyzed by student's t-test. Results: Of 132 joints, 87 (65.9%) showed anterior disk displacement with reduction (ADR) and 45 (34.1%) showed anterior disk displacement without reduction (ADnR). The signals from posterior attachments were lower in joints with ADnR than those of ADR (p<0.05). The results showed statistically significant (p<0.05) association between the type and extent of disk displacement and disk configuration, and decreased signal intensity of posterior attachment. There were no statistical associations between pain, noise and limited mouth opening, and signal intensity of disk and posterior attachment. Conclusions: The average signal from posterior attachment was lower in joints with ADnR than that of ADR. The type and extent of disk displacement and disk configuration appeared to be correlated with the signal intensity from posterior attachment.

This study examined a radar signal active cancelation technique, which is a theoretical way of achieving stealth by employing a baseband process that involves sampling the incoming hostile radar signal, analyzing its characteristics, and generating countermeasure signals to cancel out the linear-FM signal of the hostile radar signal reflected from the airborne target. To successfully perform an active cancelation, the effects of errors in the countermeasure signal were first analyzed. To generate the countermeasure signal that requires very fast and accurate processing, the down-sampling technique with the suboptimal maximum likelihood estimation (sMLE) scheme was proposed to improve the speed of the estimation process while preserving the estimation accuracy. The simulation results showed that the proposed down-sampling technique using a 2048 FFT size yields substantial power reduction despite its small FFT size and exhibits similar performance to the sMLE scheme using the 32768 FFT size.

The vibration signals of driving parts of electric train are distorted its signal patterns due to the impact components, which occurs when wheel passes rail joints. An elimination method of the impact components is investigated using adaptive signal processing technique in this study The result shows that adaptive interference canceling method seems to be more effective than line enhancement technique. The application of adaptive interference canceling method to the signal measured at bogie shows that the extractions of the signals of driving parts of traction motor, reduction gear, and axle bearing are successful. Therefore, only the signals of bogie, which is the place to attach an accelerometer easily, is sufficient for the fault diagnosis and the safety evaluation of electric train. Also, adaptive interference canceling method can be applicable to evaluate the performance of vibration isolation between bogie and car body and to investigate the characteristics of indoor sound.

In this paper, we propose a new noise estimation and reduction algorithm for stationary and nonstationary noisy environments. This approach uses an algorithm that classifies the speech and noise signal contributions in time-frequency bins. It relies on the ratio of the normalized standard deviation of the noisy power spectrum in time-frequency bins to its average. If the ratio is greater than an adaptive estimator, speech is considered to be present. The propose method uses an auto control parameter for an adaptive estimator to work well in highly nonstationary noisy environments. The auto control parameter is controlled by a linear function using a posteriori signal to noise ratio(SNR) according to the increase or the decrease of the noise level. The estimated clean speech power spectrum is obtained by a modified gain function and the updated noisy power spectrum of the time-frequency bin. This new algorithm has the advantages of much more simplicity and light computational load for estimating the stationary and nonstationary noise environments. The proposed algorithm is superior to conventional methods. To evaluate the algorithm's performance, we test it using the NOIZEUS database, and use the segment signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) and ITU-T P.835 as evaluation criteria.

본 논문은 직교 주파수 분할 다중화(OFDM) 통신 시스템에서 최대 전력 대 평균 전력의 비 (PAPR)를 감소하기 위해서 사용되는 새로운 부분 전송 시퀀스(PTS) 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법에서는 역 푸리에 변환(IFFT)을 두 부분으로 나누어 실행한다. 첫 번째 부분에서는 IFFT를 중간까지만 수행하여 입력 심볼 시퀀스를 중간 신호 시퀀스로 변환한다. 두 번째 부분은 중간 신호 시퀀스를 여러 개의 서브 시퀀스로 분할한 후 각각에 대해서 나머지 IFFT를 완료하고 PAPR을 감소하기 위한 위상 벡터를 선택한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 PTS 기법은 기존의 PTS 기법과 유사한 PAPR 감소 성능을 보이지만 계산 복잡도를 감소시킨다.

Generalized iterative methods for reducing noise in contaminated chaotic signals are proposed. These methods minimize a cost function composed of two parts : one containing information that represents how close enhanced signals are to the observed signal and another composed of constraints that fit the dynamics of the system. The convergence conditions and the error systems of the proposed are investigated. As one aspect of noise reduction, the suppression or cancellation of a chaotic interference signal is discussed.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals suffer from the problem of large peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) which complicates the design of the analog front-end of the system. Companding is a well-known PAPR reduction technique that reduces the PAPR by transforming the signal amplitude using a deterministic function. In this paper, a novel piecewise linear companding transform is proposed. The design criteria for the proposed transform is developed by investigating the relationships between the compander and decompander's profile and parameters with the system's performance metrics. Using analysis and simulations, we relate the companding parameters with the bit error rate (BER), out-of-band interference (OBI), amount of companding noise, computational complexity and average power. Based on a set of criteria developed thereof, we formulate the design of the proposed transform. The main aim is to preserve the signal's attributes as much as possible for a predetermined amount of PAPR reduction. Simulations are carried out to evaluate and compare the proposed scheme with the existing companding transforms to demonstrate the enhancement in PAPR, BER and OBI performances.

센서네트워크에서 신호처리를 수행하는 경우 노이즈 감쇄문제는 우선적으로 해결되어야 할 과제이다. 센서노드가 수집한 데이터에 포함된 노이즈가 센서네트워크의 신호처리 결과에 악영향을 미치는 것은 자명하다. 본 논문에서는 무선센서네트워크에서 사용할 수 있는 노이즈 감쇄 필터를 제안한다. 제안된 필터는 센서노드간의 상대적인 거리정보만을 사용하여 동작하며 구성이 단순하며 구현도 쉽다. 또한 센서노드의 통신반경을 적절한 범위에서 조정하여 전력소모를 줄이고 전체 네트워크의 수명을 연장할 수 있다. 다양한 조건에 대하여 성능평가를 수행하여 제안된 필터가 수집된 데이터에 대한 노이즈 영향을 감소시키는 것을 확인 하였다.
