This paper proposes a filter structure suitable for speech synthesis applications. We first derive the lossy pole-zero model by employing the wave digital filter(WDF) adaptor formula, and by converting the fixed termination value - 1 into a loss factor $\mu$c$\in$(-1, 1). Then we discuss how to determine the reflection We employ the Durbin's method in estimating the numerator polynomial of the lossy pole-zero transfer function from the given speech sound, and then apply the step-down algorithm on the numerator to extract the reflection coefficients of the closed-termination tract. For determining the reflection coefficients of the other parts we employ a pre-calculated pole-estimator polynomial.

In this paper, selection criterions on selection diversity are researched. The diversity is applied to the multiple antenna system based on wireless access in vehicular environment (WAVE) standard for rapid varying channel. Least squares (LS) based decision feedback equalizer (DFE) are used for channel equalization. Received signal is regenerated by means of the decision feedback path. In the selection diversity, the regenerated signal as well as the received signal is selected according to selection criterion. The decision feedback algorithm can follow the fast speed of WAVE fading channel. To control the tracking speed of the time-varying channel, simple low pass filter is used. Finally, the estimated channel value recovers the distorted payloads. Signal power before automatic gain control (AGC) in analog stage can be used as a selection criterion. In the digital stage, signal power after AGC, noise power after AGC, signal to noise ratio after AGC and cross-correlation method can be used as selection criterions. According to the simulation results, the performance of the selection diversity is improved in comparison with that of the combining diversity for the WAVE fading channel.

A surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter structure was fabricated employing $4{\mu}m$ thick nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) and $2.2{\mu}m$ thick ZnO films on Si wafer. The NCD film was deposited in an $Ar/CH_4$ gas mixture by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition method. The ZnO film was formed over the NCD film in an RF magnetron sputter using ZnO target and $Ar/O_2$ gas. On the top of the two layers, copper film was deposited by the RF sputter and inter digital transducer (IDT) electrode pattern (line/space : $1.5/1.5{\mu}m$) was defined by the photolithography including a lift-off etching process. The fabricated SAW filter exhibited the center frequency of 1.66 GHz and the phase velocity of 9,960 m/s, which demonstrated that a giga Hertz SAW filter can be realized by utilizing the nanocrystalline diamond thin film.

This paper represents a algorithm which improves the some drawbacks in the past methods for detecting QRS Complex waves. This proposed algorithm is very useful to detect correctly QRS Complex not only in a normal ECG, but in the abnormal ECG such as contaminating the noise with high amplitude, the existence of sharp T wave, and abrupt stepwise fluctuation of the base line.

In Electronic Warfare, the need to develop a jamming system that protects our location information from enemy radar is constantly increasing. The jamming system normally uses wide-band DRFM(Digital Radio Frequency Memory) that processes the entire bandwidth at once. However, it is difficult to jam if there is a CW(Continuous Wave) interference signal in the band. Recently, instead of wide-band signal processing, a structure using a filter bank that divides the entire band into several sub-bands and processes each sub-band independently has been proposed. Although it is possible to handle interference signal through the filter bank structure, spurious signal occurs when the signal is received at a boundary frequency between sub-bands. Spurious signal makes a output power of jamming signal distributed, resulting in lower JSR(Jamming to Signal Ratio) and less jamming effect. This paper proposes an over-sampled channelized DRFM structure that enables interference response and prevents spurious signal for sub-band boundary frequency input.

This paper describes a signal processing technique for identifying signals from defects by using an electromagnetic-ultrasonic guided waves method based on a magnetostrictive sensor that generates a torsional mode (T(0, 1)). Because this technique is based on the digital filtering, the filtered signals provide information on the relationship between the cutoff frequency of band-pass filter and the characteristic of defect signals in heat exchange tubes. To verify the performance of the technique, artificial defects with various thickness reduction ration and shape were machined in titanium tubes, and digital filtering results are reported. The results show that digital filtering provides information to the identify shape of defects and the contact condition between the tube and support ring. Therefore, the proposed technique has good potential as a tool for evaluating the integrity of heat exchange tubes.

Research on underwater sensor networks is increasing due to such reasons as marine resource management, maritime disaster prediction and military protection. Many underwater sensor networks performs wireless communication using an acoustic sound wave band signal having a relatively low frequency. So the digital part of their modem can take charge of carrier band signal processing. To enable this, the sampling rate of the baseband band signal should be increased to a sampling rate at which carrier band signal processing is possible. In this paper, we designed a sampling rate increasing circuit based on a CIC interpolator for underwater sensor nodes. The CIC interpolator has a simple circuit structure. However, since the CIC interpolator has a large attenuation of the pass band and a wide transition band, an inverse sinc LPF is added to compensate for frequency response of the CIC interpolator. The proposed interpolator was verified in time domain and frequency domain using ModelSim and Matlab.

In this paper, a systematic and statistical calibration technique was implemented to calibrate a high-speed signal converting system containing multiple digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The systematic error (especially the imbalance between DACs) in the current combining network of the multi-DAC system was modeled and corrected by calculating the path coefficients for individual DACs with wideband reference signals. Furthermore, by applying a Kalman filter to suppress noise from quantization and clock jitter, accurate coefficients with minimum noise were identified. For correcting an arbitrary waveform generator with two DACs, a co-simulation platform was implemented to estimate the system degradation and its corrected performance. Simulation results showed that after correction with 4.8 Gbps QAM signal, the signal-to-noise-ratio improved by approximately 4.5 dB and the error-vector-magnitude improved from 4.1% to 1.12% over 0.96 GHz bandwidth.

A novel approach for frequency-tripling vector signal generation via balanced detection without precoding and optical filter is proposed. The scheme is mainly utilizing an integrated dual-polarization quadrature phase shift keying (DPQPSK) modulator. In the DPQPSK modulator, one QPSK modulator is driven by an RF signal to generate high-order optical sidebands, while the other QPSK modulator is modulated by I/Q data streams to produce baseband vector signal as an optical carrier. After that, a frequency-tripling 16-quadrature-amplitude-modulation (16QAM) vector millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signal can be obtained by balanced detection. The proposed scheme can reduce the complexity of transmitter digital signal processing. The results show that, a 4 Gbaud baseband 16QAM vector signal can be generated at 30 GHz by frequency-tripling. After 10 km single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission, the constellation and eye diagrams of the generated vector signal perform well and a bit-error-rate (BER) below than 1e-3 can be achieved.

We have developed a millimeter-wave passive imaging system with reflector for detection of concealed objects. We have designed a millimeter-wave sensor, control device for reflector control, and a lens for focusing of millimeter-wave signal at center frequency of 94GHz. DC signal from millimeter-wave sensor output is filtered by low pass filter and amplified by video amplifier, and then converted into digital signal by using ADC/DAQ. This signal is image processed by computer, and it is possible to obtain millimeter-wave passive image with resolution of $18{\times}64$ pixel using the fabricated system. It is shown that we can obtain the image of men and concealed object with the system.
