In case of off-line character recognition with statistical method, the character recognition speed for Korean or Chinese characters is slow since the amount of calculation is huge. To improve this problem, we seperate the recognition steps into several functional stages and implement them with hardwares for each stage so that all the stages can be processed with pipline structure. In accordance with temporal parallel processing, a high speed character recognition system can be implemented. In this paper, we implement a classification hardware, which is one of the several functional stages, to improve the speed by parallel structure with multiple DSPs(Digital Signal Processors). Also, it is designed to be able to expand DSP boards in parallel to make processing faster as much as we wish. We implement the hardware as an add-on board in IBM-PC, and the result of experiment is that it can process about 47-times and 71-times faster with 2 DSPs and 3 DSPs respectively than the IBM-PC(486D$\times$2-66MHz). The effectiveness is proved by developing a high speed OCR(Optical Character Recognizer).

A new adaptation algorithm for the digital predistorter is presented. The proposed technique employs the real-time transmitted signals through HPA for the table update. Hence the proposed algorithm does not depend on modulation format and the signal transmission of HPA is not affected during the adaptation process. The experimental results are presented to verify the proposed method and we obtained about 8.4 dB of ACPR improvement.

A simplified and effective space vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM) algorithm with two and three levels for three-phase voltage-source converters is proposed in this study. The proposed SVPWM algorithm only uses several linear calculations on three-phase modulated voltages without any complicated trigonometric calculations adopted by conventional SVPWM. This simplified SVPWM also avoids choosing the vector sector required by conventional SVPWM. A two-level overmodulation scheme is integrated into the proposed two-level SVPMW to generate the output voltage that increases from a linear region to a six-step state with a smoothly linear transition characteristic and a simple overmodulation process without a lookup table and complicated nonlinear functions. The three-level SVPWM with a proportional-integral controller effectively balances the neutral point potential of the neutral point clamped converter. Results from the simulation in MATLAB/Simulink and the experiment based on a digital signal processor are provided to clearly demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed strategies.

This paper describes the efforts to develope a PC based parameter identification system for D.C servomotors. A new identification algorithm for the D.C. servomotor parameters is developed. The algorithm is implemented on 16 bit IBM-PC/XT using the C language. The whole identification process of signal generation, measuring and parameter determination is fully automated. To minimize the errors due to the ripple component in the measured armature currents, digital averaging filter is employed. The proposed parameter correction method using the deadzone current and the time to reach the peak current resulted in excellent agreement between the measured current and the current estimated using the model.

In this paper, an 8bit CMOS low power, high-speed current-mode folding and interpolation A/D converter is designed with te LG semicon $0.8\mu\textrm{m}$ N-well single-poly/double-metal CMOS process to be integrated into a portable image signal processing system such as a digital camcoder. For good linearity and low power consumption, folding amplifiers and for high speed performance of the A/D converter, analog circuitries including folding block, current-mode interpolation circuit and current comparator are designed as a differential-mode. The fabricated 8 bit A/D converter occupies the active chip area of TEX>$2.2mm \times 1.6mm$ and shows DNL of $\pm0.2LSB$, INL of <$\pm0.5LSB$, conversion rate of 40M samples/s, and the measured maximum power dissipation of 33.6mW at single +5V supply voltage.

Satellite communication in the 21 century's high tech information world is developing rapidly, marked by high levels of applications and functions. For example, satellite communication can process and switch the speed of the service provided by a broad and vast digital multimedia system such as a long-distance all between nations or broadcasting transfer service, which is supplied by a contemporary satellite system. So, it bring about problems which lack of satellite orbit and gibes out frequency resource by increment of satellite universally. To support this, an OBP satellite system is need, which includes an on-board IF/RF switch, baseband signal processing, multi-beam antenna technology, as well as a simple transponder system. In this paper, we have outlined the next generation of satellite communication; satellite OBP transport network architecture, which offers multimedia service and applied frequency reuse method for multi-spot beam. The satellite B-ISDN transport network architecture is also analyzed.

The adaptive IIR filters for active noise control systems are more effective when acoustic feedback exists, but the adaptive IIR filters could be unstable when the filter algorithm is not yet converged. In this paper, auto-secondary path estimation techniques and a stabilizing process for adaptive Multi-Channel Recursive LMS (MCRLMS) filters are developed to improve the stability of multi-channel active noise control systems. Experiments using a TMS320VC33 digital signal processor in a three dimensional enclosure have performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Although most of the people have studied English for a long time, their English conversation capability is low. When we provide them portable conversational-type English learners by the application of computer and information process technology, such portable learners can be used to enhance their English conversation capability by their conventional conversation exercises. The core technology to develop such learner is the development of a voice recognition and synthesis module under an embedded environment. This paper deals with voice recognition and synthesis, prototype of the learner module using a DSP(Digital Signal Processing) chip for voice processing, voice playback function, flash memory file system, PC download function using USB ports, English conversation text function by the use of SMC(Smart Media Card) flash memory, LCD display function, MP3 music listening function, etc. Application areas of the prototype equipped with such various functions are vast, i.e. portable language learners, amusement devices, kids toy, control by voice, security by the use of voice, etc.

A measurement device for gas concentration and flow rate using hot wire is developed for the utilization in industrial applications. The device has two cells of measuring and reference, and a bridge circuit is installed to detect electric current through the hot wire in the cells. An amplification of the signal and conversion to digital output are conducted for the on-line measurement with a personal computer. The flow rate of air and carbon dioxide gas is separately measured for the performance examination of the device. Also, the concentration of air-carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide-argon mixtures is determined for the same evaluation. The outcome of the performance test indicates that the accuracy and stability of the device is satisfactory for the purpose of industrial applications.

In this paper, it is presented a Real FFT for the FMCW radar distance measurement with high resolution. The high distance resolution needs the measurement of the accurate beat frequency. To improve the distance resolution, zoom fft, decimation, digital low pass filter and zero padding method are used. The simulation results using the Matlab show ${\pm}5mm$ of distance resolution and the measuring range is up to 35meter.
