Abstract

An aircraft in flight and ATC(: Air Traffic Controllers) working in the Ground Control Center carry out a voice communication using the radio. Voice signal to be transmitted from the aircraft is received to a plurality of terrestrial sites around the country at the same time. The ATC receives the various quality of voice signal from the aircraft depending on the distance, speed, weather conditions and adjusted condition of the antenna and the radio. The ATC carries out a voice communication with aircraft in the optimal conditions finding the best voice signal. However, the present system chooses the values of the CD(: Carrier Dectect) which is determined to be superior to, based on the input voice level, as optimal channel. Thus this system can not be seen to select the optimal channel because it doesn't consider the effect of the noise which influences on the communication quality. In this paper, after removing the noise in the voice signal, we could give the digitized information and an improved voice signal quality, so that users can select an optimal channel. By using it, when operating the training eavesdropping system or the aircraft control, we can expect prevention accident and improvement of training performance by selecting the improved quality channel.

지상 관제소에 근무하는 항공관제사와 비행중인 항공기는 무전기를 이용하여 음성통신을 한다. 항공기에서 송신하는 음성신호는 전국에 있는 다수의 지상사이트에 동시에 수신된다. 이때 항공관제사는 항공기와의 거리, 속도, 기상상태, 안테나와 무전기 조정상태 등에 따라 다양한 품질의 음성신호를 수신하게 된다. 항공관제사는 매 순간 최적의 음성신호를 찾아 항공기와 최적의 상황에서 음성통신을 수행한다. 그러나, 현재는 입력된 음성의 음량(Gain)을 기준으로 CD(: Carrier Dectect)값이 우수하다고 판단되는 신호를 최적채널로 선택하지만, 이는 잡음이 통화품질에 미치는 영향을 고려하지 않기에 최적채널을 선택한다고 볼 수 없다. 본 논문을 통해 수신된 음성신호에서 잡음을 제거한 후 사용자가 최적채널을 선택할 수 있도록 수치화된 정보 및 개선된 음질의 음성신호를 제공할 수 있었다. 이를 이용하여 항공기 관제 또는 훈련감청시스템 운용 시 향상된 품질의 채널을 선택하여 안전사고 예방, 훈련 능력향상 등을 기대할 수 있다.
