In this paper, we achieve implementation of a Time-Frequency Domain Reflectometry(TFDR) system through comparatively low performance(100MS/s) PCI extensions for Instrumentation(PXI). The TFDR is the general methodology of Time Domain Reflectometry(TDR) and Frequency Domain Reflectometry(FDR). This methodology is robust in Gaussian noises, because the fixed frequency bandwidth is used. Moreover, the methodology can get more information of the fault by using the normalized time-frequency cross correlation function. The Arbitrary Waveform Generator(AWG) module generates the input signal, and the digital oscilloscope module acquires the input and reflected signals, while PXI controller module performs the control of the total PXI modules and execution of the main algorithm. The maximum range of measurement and the blind spot are calculated according ta variations of time duration and frequency bandwidth. On the basis of above calculations, the algorithm and the design of input signals used in the TFDR system are verified by real experiments. The correlation function is added to the TDR methodology for reduction of the blind spot in the TFDR system.

In this paper, the use of conditional Fuzzy C-Means (CFCM) aimed at estimation of desired states of an unknown digital communication channel is investigated for blind channel equalization. In the proposed CFCM, a collection of clustered centers is treated as a set of pre-defined desired channel states, and used to extract channel output states. By considering the combinations of the extracted channel output states, all possible sets of desired channel states are constructed. The set of desired states characterized by the maximal value of the Bayesian fitness function is subsequently selected for the next fuzzy clustering epoch. This modification of CFCM makes it possible to search for the optimal desired channel states of an unknown channel. Finally, given the desired channel states, the Bayesian equalizer is implemented to reconstruct transmitted symbols. In a series of simulations, binary signals are generated at random with Gaussian noise, and both linear and nonlinear channels are evaluated. The experimental studies demonstrate that the performance (being expressed in terms of accuracy and speed) of the proposed CFCM is superior to the performance of the existing method exploiting the "conventional" Fuzzy C-Means (FCM).

본 논문에서는 가우시안 2-군집 모델을 사용한 블라인드 등화 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방식에서는 M-QAM 수신 신호를 가우시안 분포하는 2-군집으로 모델링하여 계산 복잡성을 최소화하고 신호 추정의 신뢰도를 높였다. 여기에 가변 파라미터 비선형 추정기를 사용하여 송신 신호를 추정하고, 신호 추정 시 군집의 분산에 따라 축소신호점과 원신호점을 선택적으로 적용하여 신호 추정의 신뢰도를 더욱 개선하였다. 결과적으로 제안 방식은 등화기의 계산 복잡성을 단순화하면서 성능을 개선하였다. 모의실험을 통해 64-QAM의 고차 신호에 대한 블라인드 등화에서 제안 방식이 기존 방식에 비해 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

A new speech enhancement algorithm for speech corrupted by slowly varying additive colored noise is suggested based on a state-space signal model. Due to the FIR structure and the unimportance of long-term past information, the receding horizon (RH) FIR filter known to be a best linear unbiased estimation (BLUE) filter is utilized in order to obtain noise-suppressed speech signal. As a special case of the colored noise problem, the suggested approach is generalized to perform the single blind signal separation of two speech signals. It is shown that the exact speech signal is obtained when an incoming speech signal is noise-free.

In this paper we consider a problem of blind co-channel signal separation, the goal of which is to estimate multiple co-channel digitally modulated signals using an antenna array. We employ the joint maximum likelihood estimation and present a sequential algorithm, which is referred to as sequential joint maximum likelihood (SJML) algorithm. It separates multiple co-channel signal on-line and converges fast in overdetermined noisy communication environment. And the computational complexity of SJML for M-QAM (M=8, 16, 64,...) signals is less expensive compared to the SLSP. Useful behavior of this algorithm are confirmed by simulations.

In this paper, the Intelligent Space (iSpace) concept is applied for helping disabled or blind persons in crowded environments such as train stations, or airports. The main contribution of this paper is a general mathematical (fuzzy-neuro) description of obstacle avoidance method (walking habit) of moving objects (human beings) in a limited area scanned by the iSpace. A mobile robot with extended functions is introduced as a Mobile Assistant Robot which is assisted by the iSpace. The Mobile Assistant Robot (MAR) can guide and protect a blind person in a crowded environment with the help of the Intelligent Space. The prototype of the Mobile Assistant Robot and simulations of some basic types of obstacle avoidance method (walking habit) are presented.

본 논문에서는 혼합된 입력음성신호들을 분리하기 위해 마이크로폰 어레이를 이용한 주파수영역 ICA 블라인드 음원분리 방법을 제안한다. 음성신호가 지연 혼합되어 입력되더라도 신호와 잡음을 분리하기 위한 분리행렬이 최적해로 수렴할 수 있도록 입력신호의 상호상관도를 이용하여 지연 혼합의 초기 지연값을 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 계산량을 줄이기 위하여 주파수영역 블라인드 음원분리 알고리즘을 채용한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 블라인드 음원분리 방법의 성능을 컴퓨터시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인한다.

In recent years, many sparse estimation methods, also known as compressed sensing, have been developed. However, most of these methods presume that the measurement matrix is completely known. We develop a new blind maximum likelihood method-the expectation-sparse-maximization (ESpaM) algorithm-for models where the measurement matrix is the product of one unknown and one known matrix. This method is a variant of the expectation-maximization algorithm to deal with the resulting problem that the maximization step is no longer unique. The ESpaM algorithm is justified theoretically. We present as well numerical results for two concrete examples of blind channel identification in digital communications, a doubly-selective channel model and linear time invariant sparse channel model.

Estimated channel information, especially multipath length and multipath channel of the desired user, is necessary for most previously reported linear blind multiuser detectors in code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. This paper presents a new blind intersymbol decorrelating detector in asynchronous CDMA systems, which uses the cross correlation matrix of the consecutive symbols. The proposed detector is attractive for its simplicity because no channel estimation is required except the synchronization of the desired user. Compared with other reported multiuser detectors, simulation results show that the proposed detector provides a good performance when the active users have significant intersymbol interference and the multipath length is short.
