In this paper, we reduced the optical noise interference in a visible light communication system using two color LEDs. In the transmitter, the original and the inverted signals of the transmitted data modulated a red LED and a blue LED, respectively. In the receiver, a differential detector which is composed of two photodetectors and an optical red filter detected the mixed signal radiated from the two LEDs. In an environment that the optical noise from a fluorescent lamp exists, the signal-to-noise ratio in this system was improved by about 20dB compared to that in the conventional system which uses a single LED and a single photodetector.

General adaptive noise canceller(ANC) suffers from the misadjustment of adaptive filter weights, because of the gradient-estimate noise at steady state. In this paper, an adaptive noise cancellation algorithm with speech detector which is distinguishing speech from silence and adaptation-transient region is proposed. The speech detector uses property of adaptive prediction-error filter which can filter the highly correlated speech. To detect speech region, estimation error which is the output of the adaptive filter is applied to the adaptive prediction-error filter. When speech signal apears at the input of the adaptive prediction-error filter. The ratio of input and output energy of adaptive prediction-error filter becomes relatively lower. The ratio becomes large when the white noise appears at the input. So the region of speech is detected by the ratio. Sign algorithm is applied at speech region to prevent the weights from perturbing by output speech of ANC. As results of computer simulation, the proposed algorithm improves segmental SNR and SNR up to about 4 dBand 11 dB, respectively.

본 논문에서는 편광기를 부착한 차동검출기의 부하저항으로 디지털가변저항을 사용하여 잡음소거 능력을 개선하였다. 이 구조에서는 차동검출기를 구성하는 2개의 포토다이오드에서 검출된 잡음전압의 크기가 항상 동일한 값이 되도록 디지털 가변저항의 크기를 제어하여 잡음광을 소거한다. 이 방식에서는 고정된 부하저항을 사용한 구조에 비하여 신호대잡음비가 약 23 dB 더 향상되었다.

본 논문에서는 플라스틱 광섬유 묶음을 이용하여 차동검출기를 구성하고 무선광 연결 수신부에서 잡음광 소거에 활용하였다. 광섬유 묶음을 이용하여 수신광을 분리해서 2개의 포토다이오드에 연결하면, 동일한 지점에서 잡음광을 검출하는 효과가 발생하므로, 잡음광의 공간분포가 심하게 변하여도 2개의 포토다이오드의 위치 차이로 인한 출력 전압의 변동이 나타나지 않아 잡음 소거 효과가 높아진다. 광 필터가 부착된 단일의 광검출기에 비하여 광섬유 묶음을 사용한 수신부에서 신호대잡음비를 약 $10\;\cal{dB}$ 개선하였다.

One of the main limitations to the ground- based gravitational-wave (GW) detector sensitivity is quantum noise, which is induced by vacuum fluctuations entering the detector output port. The replacement of this ordinary vacuum field with a squeezed vacuum field has proven to be effective approach to mitigate the quantum noise in the interferometer detector and it is currently used in advanced detectors. However, the current frequency-independent squeezed vacuum cannot reduce quantum radiation pressure noise at low frequencies. A possible solution to reduce quantum noise in the broadband spectrum is the injection of frequency-dependent squeezed (FDS) vacuum. We will report the current status of squeezing experiment at KASI and introduce to the EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) entangled state of light, which can realize FDS light without the need for an additional, external cavity.

Time-of-flight (TOF) PET detectors with fast-rise-time scintillators and fast-single photon time resolution silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) have been developed to improve the coincidence timing resolution (CTR) to sub-100 ps. The CTR can be further improved with an optimal bandwidth and minimized electronic noise in the readout circuit and this helps reduce the distortion of the fast signals generated from the TOF-PET detector. The purpose of this study was to develop an ultra-high frequency and fully-differential (UF-FD) readout circuit that minimizes distortion in the fast signals produced using TOF-PET detectors, and suppresses the impact of the electronic noise generated from the detector and front-end readout circuits. The proposed UF-FD readout circuit is composed of two differential amplifiers (time) and a current feedback operational amplifier (energy). The ultra-high frequency differential (7 GHz) amplifiers can reduce the common ground noise in the fully-differential mode and minimize the distortion in the fast signal. The CTR and energy resolution were measured to evaluate the performance of the UF-FD readout circuit. These results were compared with those obtained from a high-frequency and single ended readout circuit. The experiment results indicated that the UF-FD readout circuit proposed in this study could substantially improve the best achievable CTR of TOF-PET detectors.

본 연구의 목적은 직 간접 변환방식 검출기를 사용한 디지털 유방 X선 촬영시스템의 영상 화질을 비교하고 평가함에 있다. 영상의 정량적인 분해능을 나타내는 변조전달함수(MTF), 노이즈 특성을 나타내는 정규화된 잡음력 스펙트럼(NNPS), 그리고 신호 대 잡음비 성능을 나타내는 양자검출효율(DQE)인자를 이용하여 영상 화질평가를 하였다. DQE는 IEC 62220-1-2 규약에 따라 edge 팬텀을 사용한 MTF 도출을 이용하여 계산되었다. 대조도 대 노이즈비(CNR) 측정은 한국의료영상품질관리원에서 제시한 가이드라인에 따라 측정되었다. 직접 변환방식 검출기가 간접 변환방식 검출기에 비해 공간주파수별로 MTF와 DQE 값이 높은 것으로 측정되었다. 동일한 평균유선선량(AGD)일 때 직접 변환방식의 검출기는 더 높은 CNR값을 보였다. 공간주파수별로 높은 DQE 값을 갖는 직접 변환방식 검출기는 디지털 유방 X선 촬영시스템에 있어서 향상된 영상 화질과 적은 환자선량을 제공할 것이다.

To improve the noise characteristics, software-based noise reduction algorithms are widely used in cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) pixelated semiconductor gamma camera system. The purpose of this study was to develop an improved median filtering algorithm using a thresholding method for noise reduction in a CZT pixelated semiconductor gamma camera system. The gamma camera system simulated is a CZT pixelated semiconductor detector with a pixel-matched parallel-hole collimator and the spatial resolution phatnom was designed with the Geant4 Application for Tomography Emission (GATE). In addition, a noise reduction algorithm with a median filter using an improved thresholding method is developed and we applied our proposed algorithm to an acquired spatial resolution phantom image. According to the results, the proposed median filter improved the noise characteristics compared to a conventional median filter. In particular, the average for normalized noise power spectrum, contrast to noise ratio, and coefficient of variation results using the proposed median filter were 10, 1.11, and 1.19 times better than results using conventional median filter, respectively. In conclusion, our results show that the proposed median filter using improved the thresholding method results in high imaging performance when applied in a CZT semiconductor gamma camera system.

인간의 청각시스템은 두 가지 요소 즉, ITD(Interaural Time Difference)와 IID(Interaural Intensity Difference)를 처리하여 음원의 위치와 추적을 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 음원의 위치 검출을 위하여 ITD와 IID 뿐만 아니라 이전의 위치 정보를 이용하여 정확한 음원의 방향을 결정할 수 있는 TEPILD(Time Energy Previous Integration Location Detector) 모델을 제안하였다. TEPILD 모델에서 time function generator는 ITD, energy function generator는 IID를 처리할 수 있도록 하였다. 음원은 정현파(500Hz,1kHz, 2kHz, 3kHz), White noise, Pink noise, News, Music으로 하고 음원의 방향은 right, front right, front, front left, left로 하였다. 실험 결과 전체 평균 정확도가99.2로 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, TEPILD가 음원 위치 검출기에 이용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
