In this paper, we propose a novel approach to noise power estimation for speech enhancement in noisy environments. The method based on IMCRA (improved minima controlled recursive averaging) which is widely used in speech enhancement utilizes a rough VAD (voice activity detection) algorithm which excludes speech components during speech periods in order to improves the performance of the noise power estimation by reducing the speech distortion caused by the conventional algorithm based on the minimum power spectrum derived from the noisy speech. However, since the VAD algorithm is not sufficient to distinguish speech from noise at non-stationary noise and low SNRs (signal-to-noise ratios), the speech distortion resulted from the minimum tracking during speech periods still remained. In the proposed method, minimum power estimate obtained by IMCRA is modified by SMT (spectral minima tracking) to reduce the speech distortion derived from the bias of the estimated minimum power. In addition, in order to effectively estimate minimum power by considering the distribution characteristic of the speech and noise spectrum, the presented method combines the minimum estimates provided by IMCRA and SMT depending on the weighting factor based on the subband. Performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by subjective and objective quality tests under various environments and better results compared with the conventional method are obtained.

Considering a nonlinear high power amplifier(HPA) and a predistorter, we have designed a four-dimensional 8-ary phase shift keying trellis-coded modulation(4D-8PSK-TCM) system, which is recommended for X-band satellite communications. Subsequently, we have evaluated and analyzed the spectrum, constellation characteristics, and BER performance of the system. In satellite communications, owing to the limited power, nonlinear characteristics that determine the operating point of the HPA must be analyzed because the HPA consumes high power. We herein report the design of the 4D-8PSK-TCM system, with efficiencies of 2 and 2.25 bits/channel-symbol. The simulation results confirmed that a 0.35 roll-off value is effective, considering the low peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR) characteristic and the narrow occupation bandwidth of the spectrum. It also confirmed that approximately 15~20 dB of output backoff(OBO) value is required at the HPA when the predistorter is not used, and approximately 1 dB of the OBO value is required when the predistorter is used.

Ultra wide band (UWB) radio has recently attracted increased attention due to its expected unlicensed operation, and potential to provide very high data rates at relatively short ranges. In this article we briefly describe some main candidate multiple access and modulation schemes for UWB communications, followed with their power spectral density calculation and properties. We also present some illustrative capacity results, and provide a discussion of the impact of network topology on multiple access capacity.

In this paper, we analyze the propagation modeling methods to evaluate the IMT-2000 satellite RTT (Radio Transmission Technology). To generate Rayleigh random numbers having Jake's Doppler power density spectrum, the Rice's sum of sinusoids methods are used and their statistical characteristics are compared with each other.

자기 진단 센서는 자신의 상태를 스스로 진단하는 기능을 갖는 센서를 말한다. 이러한 기능을 갖기 위해서 자신의 상태를 판단 할 수 있는 정보를 얻는 것이 가장 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 자신의 노이즈 신호만으로 상태를 판단할 수 있는 자기 진단센서의 설계하는 방법을 제안하였다. 웨이브렛 및 ICA 분석기법을 이용하여 자신의 출력 신호로부터 대상목표의 측정물리량을 나타내는 신호성분을 제외한, 센서 자신으로부터 발생하는 특징 노이즈 신호만을 분류한 다음에, 이 신호를 PDS로 정량화하여 특징 데이터를 생성하였다. 실험을 통해 그 타당성을 입증하였다.

A new type single beam photoacoustic spectrometer suitable for measuring optical absorption of condensed powder matter with the automatic calibration capability of a source power spectrum is introduced. The signal processing until of this spectrometer consists of a photoacoustic cell a lock-in amp., a switching circuit and a personal computer. The measured optical absorption spectra of a few material by this method are good agreement with the results obtained by the double-beam photoacoustic spectrometer.

Using motions (Maruo) and wave reflection (the author), speed loss due to wind (van Berlekom) and ITTC standard spectrum, and various effects of weather(:such as weather intensity, ship type, ship size and draught) on ship speed performance at sea were investigated. Further, a comparison of the relative effects of weather and hull roughness on speed loss was also studied for a VLCC.

The application of artificial neural network forcondition monitoring and diagnosis of milling tools was introduced. To detect the conditions of milling tools, the monitoring wywtem consists of three phases: "preparation phase", "learning phase", "production phase". The conditions of milling tools were categorized into the three states. "normal", "warning", "abnormal". The dectection of tool condition, in this paper, could be successfully performed by monitoring the variation of power spectrum on Y dirctional cutting force.
