Digital communication channels are imparied by linear effects such as dispersion, ISI(intersymbol Interference), fading phenomenon etc. But, the practical channel equalization system is required to design for compensating the nonlinear distortion caused by harmonic distortion etc. This paper is a study on the performance of nonlinear channel equalization using RBF(Radial Basis Funclion) network, which has the equivalent structure to the optimal Basian filter. Expecially, the variance of RBF network is modifiedby nonlinear polynomial filters to compare the convergence characteristic of nonlinear channel equalization. Experimental results show that the modified RBF network achieves the faster convergence property than conventional RBF network. Moreover, the RBF network ofhigher order variance modified represents the better performance than that of lower order variance in the bandpass channels and second/third order polynomial channels.

By using a selective learnable self-organizing feature map(SOFM) a more practical and generalized mehtod is proposed in which the effective nonlinear shape restoration is possible regardless of the existence of the distortion modelss. Nonlinear mapping relation is extracted from the distorted imate by using the proposed selective learning SOFGM which has the special property of effectively creating spatially organized internal representations and nonlinear relations of various input signals. For the exact extraction of the mapping relations between the distorted image and the original one, we define a disparity index as a proximal nmeasure of the present state to the final idealy trained state of the SOFM, and we used this index to adjust the training of the mapping relations form the weights of the SOFM. Simulations are conducted on various kinds of distorted images with or without distortion models, and the results show that the proposed method is very efficeint very efficient and practical in nonlinear shape restorations.

The demand of image compression is increasing now for the integration of medical images into the hospital information system. Even though the quantitative distortion can be measured from the difference between original and reconstructed images, it doesn't include the nonlinear characteristics of human visual system. In this study, we have evaluated the nonlinear characteristics of human visual system and applied them to the compression of medical images. The distortion measures which reflect the characteristics of human visual system has been considered. This image compression procedure consists of coding scheme using JND (Just Noticeable Difference) curve, polynomial approximation and BTC (Block Truncation Coding). Results show that this method can be applied to CT images, scanned film images and other kinds of medical images with the compression ratio of 5-10:1 without any noticeable distortion.

In this paper, we propose a novel equalizer to compensate for the group delay including AM/PM nonlinear distortion characteristics by the nonlinear power amplifier (PA). The group delay characteristic is a nonlinear non-constant time delay that appears differently depending on each frequency component. The phase distortion by AM/PM characteristics arising from the power amplifier is a major factor to increase group delay. By the group delay distortion, the signal in the constellation expands and is rotated. Considering the problem mentioned above, the nonlinear time delay that appears differently depending on each frequency component is classified as a static group delay and AM/PM characteristic of PA, the different phase transitions depending on the size of input signal as a dynamic group delay. Static group delay estimates and compensate for phase distortions in the frequency domain with type-based method and dynamic group delay compensates for phase rotation in the time domain. We confirmed that the group delay compensation techniques were enough to compensate the group delay characteristics including AM/PM characteristics of the power amplifier.

Nonlinear distortion arising from the nonlinear movement of the loudspeaker diaphragm degradates the tone quality. The distortion is, in low frequency range, mainly caused by nonlinear characteristics of the suspension stiffness and the force factor. In this paper, the nonlinear suspension stiffness and the nonlinear force factor are modeled to the quadratic functions and a method is proposed to determine their coefficients. An additional mass to the diaphragm moved the quiescent point of the diaphragm and uncoupled the stiffness and the force factor. This made it possible to deter mine the coefficients of the nonlinear suspension stiffness by measuring the resonance frequencies at several quiescent points. The coefficients of the nonlinear force factor are then determined by fitting the curve which is calculated from the waveforms of input voltage and input current, and the displacement of the diaphragm at resonance frequency.

This paper proposes LUT based predistorter using interpolater to reduce nonlinear distortion which was generated by HPA. We minimized performance degradation from the reduced LUT size with linear interpolation. We updated LUT using LMS algorithm using input data as reference data. As a result, it is shown that when the size of the LUT is 8, linear interpolation is the most outstanding performance in the view of performance and H/W complexity.

An adaptive predistorr is proposed to compensate for the nonlinear distortion of a high power amplifier (HPA) in 16 QAM system. It fumed out that the proposed predistorter using a variable step-size least mean square (VSSLMS) algorithm is stable and can reduce the Total Distortion (TD) to 0. 1dB at the HPA output backoff=0.0 dB.

In this thesis, to cope with severe intersymbol interference and nonlinear distotions of the digital magnetic recording channel a neural decision feedback equalizer (NDFE) and an adaptive neural equalizer (NE) are applied. The digital magnetic recording channels with various recording densities and different types of the nonlinear distortions are considered. The computer simulation shows that as the nonlinear distortion is increased, the neural equalizers (NdFE, NE) have advantages of approximately 2-4 dB in signal to noise ratio (SNR) over the onventional eualizers to reach sme bit error rate and, a sthe recording density is increased, 1~5 dB of SNR improvement are also gained. Especially the NdFE gives a superior performance over the other equalizers when there is a severe nonlinear distortion in the digital magnetic channel.

High power amplifier (HPA), which is used in transmitter of wireless communication systems, usually works in near saturation point in order to achieve maximum efficiency. In this region, HPA can introduce undesirable nonlinear effects. In this paper, we present a polynomial modeling method for efficient techniques to compensate for nonlinear distortion introduced by nonlinear HPA. Proposed polynomial predistorter inverses actual amplifier. Namely, we derive polynomials of amplifiers from analytical method and the electrical parameters in the data sheet of an actual amplifier and then can derive polynomial predistorter by inversing them. It is an effective and a simple method to compensate nonlinear distortion. SSPA(Solid-state power amplifier) is considered. We also analyze the effects of predistortion on the SER performance of communication system with 16-QAM modulation format. The results have shown the efficiency of this model.
