The SHAPE algorithm has the advantage of being able to shape the pulse spectrum as desired and design it not to distort other characteristics, so it was used in the active sonar pulse design. In this paper, we propose a pulse design using the SHAPE algorithm for a multi-static sonar system to reduce the cross-correlation between frequency-adjacent pulses and prevent the performance degradation of the pulses themselves. The boundary function of the SHAPE algorithm is set to be limited to the pulse bandwidth. As a result of applying the proposed design method to the sinusoidal frequency modulated pulse, the peak cross-correlation level (PCCL), which means the degree of cross-correlation, was reduced by 44.23 dB. Although the PCCL decreased by several tens of dB, no significant change in the ambiguity function was observed, and the integrated sidelobe level (ISL), which means the average value of the side lobe, increased by 11.64 dB.

RFID based applications that combine radar techniques to obtain the location and the ID of a tag have widely been investigated. In this paper, we analyze a recently proposed RFID system that can extract the tag IDs and their velocities using signals transmitted from the tag attached moving objects and verify its performance. In the proposed system, a beacon transmits triggering signal at regular intervals into a monitoring area and the tag receiving the triggering signal backscatters the FMCW(frequency modulation continuous wave) signal modulated by the tag ID. The reader system demodulates this FMCW signal using predefined two reference signals to obtain not only the tag ID but its velocity. In this paper, we show that the proposed system works properly and analyze the degree of performance degradation in cases when the synchronization error between the transmitting signal and the reference signal occurs, and even when sampling rate is lowered for implementation purpose. Finally, the analytical results are verified by simulation.

Two separate antennas are usually adopted in high performance radar systems to achieve the high degree of isolation since the transmission and reception of signals cannot be separated in time. However, even though two spatially separated antennas are installed in the system, strong signals from a transmission antenna can cause the serious interference problem in a receiving antenna. These strong interference signals from the transmission antenna can cause serious problems in detection and analysis of much weaker echo signals which are reflected by small targets. Also the increased level of background noise power due to interference can cause the serious degradation of the system performance. Therefore, in this paper, the proper cancellation method is suggested and results are shown and analyzed for removal of strong interference and background noise power.

Poly (vinyl butyral) (PVB) was synthesized by acetalization of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) PVB was prepared in particulate forms in water, and chemical and physical properties of the products were characterized using various techniques. The prepared PVB had size distribution from 100 to 700 $\mu\textrm{m}$ with mean diameter of about 380 $\mu\textrm{m}$. The chemical structure of PVB was characterized using FT/IR and NMR, and the average degree of acetalization was determined to be 77% from the titration measurement. DSC data showed that the crystalline structure of PVA vanished as acetalization reaction proceeded to produce PVB, and the glass transition temperature emerged at about $70^{\circ}C$. TGA data showed that PVB was much more thermally stable than PVA, and showed no degradation up to $300^{\circ}C$. Solubility test showed that PVB was soluble in alcohols but Insoluble in water, being totally different from PVA.

A video adaptation system translates the source video stream into appropriate video stream while satisfying the network and client constraints and maximizing the video quality as much as possible. This paper proposes a semi-dynamic video adaptation scheme, in which several intermediate video streams and the information for the measuring of video quality are generated statically. The intermediate video streams are generated by reducing the resolution of the video stream by a power of two several times, and they are stored as the intermediate video streams on the video server. The statically generated information for the input video stream consists of the degrees of smoothness for each frame rate and the degree of frame definition for each pixel bit rate. It helps to dynamically generate the target video stream according to the client's QoS at run-time as quickly as possible. Experimental result shows that the proposed adaptation scheme can generate the target video stream about thirty times faster while keeping the quality degradation as less than 2% comparing to the target video stream that is totally dynamically generated, although the extra storages for the intermediate video streams are required.

An equalization algorithm is proposed to guarantee a stable performance in fast fading channels for digital television (DTV) systems from the advanced television system committee (ATSC) standard. In channels with high Doppler shifts, the conventional equalization algorithm shows severe performance degradation. Although the conventional equalizer compensates poor channel conditions to some degree, long filter taps required to overcome long delay profiles are not suitable for fast fading channels. The Proposed sparse equalization algorithm is robust to the multipaths with long delay Profiles as well as fast fading by utilizing channel estimation and equalizer initialization. It can compensate fast fading channels with high Doppler shifts using a filter tap selection technique as well as variable step-sizes. Under the ATSC test channels, the proposed algorithm is analyzed and compared with the conventional equalizer. Although the proposed algorithm uses small number of filter taps compared to the conventional equalizer, it is stable and has the advantages of fast convergence and channel tracking.

An intelligent performance diagnostic program using the Neural Network was proposed for PW206C turboshaft engine. It was selected as a power plant for the tilt rotor type Smart UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) which has been developed by KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute). The measurement parameters of Smart UAV propulsion system are gas generator rotational speed, power turbine rotational speed, exhaust gas temperature and torque. But two measurement such as compressor exit pressure and compressor turbine exit temperature were added because they were difficult each component diagnostics using the default measurement parameter. The performance parameters for the estimate of component performance degradation degree are flow capacities and efficiencies for compressor, compressor turbine and power turbine. Database for network learning and test was constructed using a gas turbine performance simulation program. From application results for diagnostics of the PW206C turboshaft engine using the learned networks, it was confirmed that the proposed diagnostics could detect well the single fault types such as compressor fouling and compressor turbine erosion.

Recently high utility pattern (HUP) mining is one of the most important research issuer in data mining since it can consider the different weight Haloes of items. However, existing mining algorithms suffer from the performance degradation because it cannot easily apply Apriori-principle for pattern mining. In this paper, we introduce new high utility pattern mining approach by using a prefix-tree as in FP-Growth algorithm. Our approach stores the weight value of each item into a node and utilizes them for pruning unnecessary patterns. We compare the performance characteristics of three different prefix-tree structures. By thorough experimentation, we also prove that our approach can give performance improvement to a degree.

In this paper, the parallel sub-filter searching structure to be adapted that divides a filter into several sub filters and the parameter decision technique to control adaptive parameters with power of received signal in the code acquisition system using adaptive filter are proposed. The numerical results for the system probabilities are derived that the code acquisition system using parallel sub-filter searching structure is statistically analyzed. Also, characteristic of the parameters in adaptive code acquisition system is analyzed by simulations and the parameter decision technique through SNRc estimation is explained. The system with parallel sub-filter searching structure outperforms by 1∼l.5 dB for 16 taps, 5∼6 dB for 64 taps. And the system with parameter decision technique works efficiently with the reasonable degree of degradation about 1 ∼2.5dB for 16 and 32 taps.

In this paper, we propose a robust face recognition method against soft errors with a deep convolutional generative adversarial network(DCGAN) based compensation method by a cross-layer approach. When soft-errors occur in block data of JPEG files, these blocks can be decoded inappropriately. In previous results, these blocks have been replaced using a mean face, thereby improving recognition ratio to a certain degree. This paper uses a DCGAN-based compensation approach to extend the previous results. When soft errors are detected in an embedded system layer using parity bit checkers, they are compensated in the application layer using compensated block data by a DCGAN-based compensation method. Regarding soft errors and block data loss in facial images, a DCGAN architecture is redesigned to compensate for the block data loss. Simulation results show that the proposed method effectively compensates for performance degradation due to soft errors.
