Cognitive radio, which is designed to dynamically adapt its transmission to the environments, is believed to be one of the fundamental techniques for future spectrum utilization. As the first step of cognitive radio, spectrum sensing is treated as the most important technique, through which cognition is well explained. In this paper, we propose a spectral correlation based detection method for spectrum sensing. An unlicensed secondary user system operating in TV broadcast bands is taken as an example. Based on the cyclostationarity of communication signals, spectral correlation function is used to minimize the effect of random noise and interference. Energy measurement and peak detection based criteria are proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed detection method outperforms the energy detection and is more suitable for spectrum sensing in cognitive radios.

A visual servoing method has been proposed based on disturbance observer to eliminate the effect of the off-diagonal component of image feature Jacobian, since performance indices such as measurement sensitivity of visual features, sensitivity of the control to noise and controllability could be improved when an image feature Jacobian was given as a block diagonal matrix. In this paper, experimental results of disturbance observer-based visual servoing are discussed where Samsung FARAMAN-AS1 6-axis industrial robot manipulator is employed. Also, the feature saturator is proposed to stabilize the disturbance observer loop by saturating the differential changes of the image features.

This paper proposes a robust control system with the disturbance observer for BLDC servo system. The overall control system is composed of the speed controller which is implemented with PI controller and the disturbance observer with free parameters. The BLDC servo system can improve the closed loop characteristics without affecting the command input response. The characteristics of the closed loop system is improved by suppressing disturbance effectively with the disturbance observer. Measurement noise is also considered by adjusting bandwidth of free parameters. We can overcome the drawbacks of the conventional PI controller. Finally, the performance of the controller is analyzed theoretically and some simulation results are presented to demonstrate the better performance than the conventional PI controllers.

This paper describes the design and fabrication of a Risk Voltage Meter (RVM) which can analyze the step and touch voltages in grounding systems. The meter consists of a sine-wave power source which generates up to 300 [$V_{rms}$] in ranges of 45 [Hz]~1 [kHz], a 8 Ch. data acquisition module, and a personal computer. Also, a noise elimination method by a digital band-pass filter during measurement is proposed.

Many of steel structures having little internal damping consist of stiffened plates. In case that viscoelastic materials are adhered to the stiffened plates for the reduction of structure-borne noise, their effects are varied by the adhered position and dynamic characteristics of the structures as well as their material properties and adhered amount. In this paper, sound reduction effects of viscoelastic materials partially adhered to the different positions of a stiffened steel plate have been investigated by the measurement of vibratory velocity and sound intensity. The results show that optimal adherent positions of viscoelastic materials to reduce sound radiation power are the loop areas of modes.

Position estimation in indoor is significant problem, because GPS which is usually used for outdoor positioning cannot be utilized to indoor positioning. Sensor network can be a solution for the positioning. Recently, chirp spread spectrum(CSS) specified in IEEE 802.15.4a provides an ability of ranging. Based on the results of the ranging, a position of a CSS node can be calculated by using trilateration. In this case, Kalman filter can be applied to the trilateration because of the measurement noise. In this paper, we apply the unscented Kalman filter for the trilateration. The trilateration can be represented to a nonlinear state space equation, and the unscented Kalman filter is suitable for nonlinear state space equation. Through the experimental results. we show the accuracy of the estimated position.

This paper presents a charge pump used in frequency synthesizer for PHS application. The up/down current mismatch of charge pump has a critical effect on the phase noise and spur performance in frequency synthesizer. Therefore, the mismatch compensation scheme is proposed in this paper. And, the measurement results show that the mismatch can be reduced below 5 %.

Linearity improvement technique of transconductor is presented in the paper. In order to certify the linearity improvement of proposed transconductor, the 3rd-order Elliptic low-pass Gm-C filter which provides 5MHz cutoff is implemented by using the transconductor. According to the IIP3 measurement result of filters, proposed filter has higher IIP3 than normal source-degeneration filter; the In-band IIP3 of proposed and normal filter are 10.1 dBm and 7.5 dBm respectively. The filter is fabricated in 1P6M $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS while consuming the 3.3mW with 1.8 Vdd. The in-band input-referred noise voltage is $62.3{\mu}Vrms$ and the SFDR is 54.1 dB.

In this study, soundscape was analyzed through physical measurement and social surveys. The results showed that, soundscape components were related to functional partitions and tourist activities, at the same time influenced by ambient noise. The sound pressure levels showed daily regular changes. Semantic differential analysis showed that the evaluation of the soundscape in urban park was rather complicated. It was still possible to identify major factors including relaxation, spatiality and environment. The results provided theoretical basis for improving urban park soundscape, and called attention to this problem.

Errors in inertial navigation system(INS) can be divided into two major groups which are system related errors and modeling errors due to approximation and linearization. Measurement noise, calibration, and alignment errors make up the first group, whereas the uncertainties in the gravity vector fall in the second category and are important error source for high quality INS, especially during high altitude and and/or long time missions, when the gravity errors tent to build up. The quality of a medium to high accuracy INS depends on the knowledge of the local gravity field. In this paper, the feasibility of improving airborns INS by use of more accurate gravity model is studied. To make consistent comparisons, WGS-84 parameters are used and ...
