An improved method of spectrum detection algorithm for mass spectrum analysis system is proposed. In the conventional spectrum detection algorithm that utilizes the results of the linear approximation and quadratic curve fitting on the ion signal block of each mass index, it is possible to reduce the detection error in the mass spectrum detection by further improving the condition of eliminating the invalid ion signals. Also, the proposed method can reduce the estimation error of the peak value of the mass spectrum by using the result of quadratic curve fitting for the effective ion signal block in which the peak position error is corrected. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, computer simulations were carried out step by step using the measured ion signal. Also, by comparing the rate of false detection for several inputs, the proposed method showed better detection performance than the conventional method.

The visual evoked potentials(VEPs) is used to assist in the diagnosis of specific disorders associated with involvement of the sensory visual pathways. The P100 latency is an important parameter which is diagnosis of optic nerve disorders. There are characteristics of latency delay, wave distortion, amplitude deduction in abnormal subjects. It is difficult to diagnose in the case of producing peak at the P100 latency. In this paper, difference of pattern between normal VEPs and abnormal VEPs using the Choi-Williams distribution method is studied. We observed the relationship about time and spectrum. The result shown that normal VEPs had maximum spectral value at 20Hz~26.7Hz and abnormal VEPs had maximum spectral value at 16.7Hz~20Hz. Also normal VEPs spectrum is higher than abnormal VEPs spectrum.

The researchers have studied for a long time about the depth of anesthesia but they don't make criteria for the depth of anesthesia. Anesthetists can't make a prediction about patient's reaction. Therefore, patients have potential risk such as poisonous side effect, late-awake, early-awake and strain reaction. In this study, the distributed characteristics on the bispectrum and bicoherence, the type of nonlinear signal processing, as a result of the coupling of EEG were presented according to depth of anesthesia. These results were consistent with a trend of delta ratio that the index of evaluation for the depth of anesthesia. The higher-order spectrum (HOS), the bispectrum and bicoherence, gives the useful information about depth of anaesthesia than other indexes.

A noise suppression algorithm is proposed for nonstationary noisy environments. The proposed algorithm is different from the conventional approaches such as the spectral subtraction algorithm and the minimum statistics noise estimation algorithm in that it classifies speech and noise signals in time-frequency bins. It calculates the ratio of the variance of the noisy power spectrum in time-frequency bins to its normalized time-frequency average. If the ratio is greater than an adaptive threshold, speech is considered to be present. Our adaptive algorithm tracks the threshold and controls the trade-off between residual noise and distortion. 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 simplicity and light computational load for estimating the noise. This algorithm reduces the residual noise significantly, and is superior to the conventional methods.

Capacity Spectrum Method (CSM) defined in ATC-40 or FEMA-273 is a most widely used static inelastic analysis method to evaluate the performance level of the existing structures. In CSM, however, uncertainties and errors exist when lateral forces such as earthquake and wind loads are analyzed into equivalent static loads. This paper examines the accuracy of CSM for different structural parameters, such as natural frequency, yield strength and hardening ratio, and various soil conditions by comparing the estimated values to exact solutions obtained by time history analysis. Results indicate that the accuracy of CSM, in general, is influenced mostly by hardening ratio.

In this paper, we propose a subcarrier allocation method and a composite linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) channel estimator to increase spectrum efficiency in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmit diversity. The pilot symbols for OFDM transmit (Alamouti) diversity are exclusively allocated in two OFDM symbols in different antennas, which causes serious degradation of spectrum efficiency. To reduce the number of pilot symbols, our subcarrier allocation method uses repetition-coded data symbols, and the proposed channel estimator maintains good bit error rate (BER) performance.

In this paper, we propose a cooperative spectrum sensing scheme using the spatial diversity of secondary users (SUs). In our scheme, a SU makes an estimation whether the primary user (PU) is active or not using the signals from the other SUs. We know that the diversity order of miss detection probability increases as the number of SUs increases from the simulation result.

This paper focuses on codebook-based precoding for space-division multiple access/orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (SDMA-OFDMA) systems aiming to guarantee high throughput for their users as well as to mitigate interference to fixed satellite service (FSS). A systematic design of SDMA codebook for subband-based OFDMA is proposed, which forms multiple orthogonal beams with common spatial null in the direction of a victim FSS earth station (ES). The design enables both transmitter and receiver to independently construct identical codebook by sharing only on the direction angle of an FSS ES, which takes fewer overhead bits than Gram-Schmidt process, a general method satisfying our design criterion. A system-level throughput evaluation shows that the proposed precoding provides superior performance over existing spectrum sharing method, that is, subband deactivation. The spectrum sharing analysis shows that the proposed precoding, even with an estimation error of the direction angles of an FSS ES, causes lower interference than existing precoding, knockdown precoding.

When the noise is mainly caused by a detector and is statistically independent of the incident radiation, the multiplexing inherent in the Hadamard transform (HT) spectrometer can provide an improved spectrum-estimate. A spectrum-estimate can be further improved when any nonidealities in the system are compensated. In this research, three spectrum-estimation methods for an HT spectrometer having a nonideal mask are discussed in terms of computational efficiency, statistical bias, the sources of error, and the mean-square error associated with a given estimate. In addition, the results obtained from computer simulations are used to verify the theoretical foundation of each method.

본 논문은 인공 대역 확장에서 스펙트럼 포락선 확장 시 발생하는 스펙트럼 왜곡을 줄이는 개선된 조합 매핑(Improved combined mapping) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 벡터양자화를 기반으로 하는 코드북 매핑(Codebook mapping)과 스펙트럼 포락선(Spectrum Envelope)의 선형 의존도를 이용한 선형 매핑(Linear mapping)을 사용하여 각각 확장된 광대역 LSP(Line Spectrum Pair)를 추론하고, 연판정(Soft-decision)을 통해 최적화된 LSP를 추론한다. 제안된 알고리즘으로 합성된 음성신호의 스펙트럼 왜곡(Spectrum Distortion)이 기존 조합매핑으로 얻은 음성 신호의 스펙트럼 왜곡보다 더 적은 왜곡을 갖는 결과를 나타내었다.
