영상 레이다(Synthetic Aperture Radar)는 전자파를 이용하여 영상을 생성함에 따라 주·야간 상황과 무관하게 안정적인 광역 관측 자료를 확보할 수 있으며 기상 제약 환경과 무관하게 전략적·상업적 목적으로의 감시 및 관찰 기능을 요구하는 임무에 광범위하게 활용될 수 있다. 그러나 SAR 위성 시스템의 경우 넓은 대역의 주파수를 사용하기 때문에 인접대역을 사용하는 레이다 시스템 및 통신기기로부터 간섭 영향에 의해 영상품질을 저하시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 SAR 영상의 품질향상을 위해 간섭 제거 기법인 고유치 기반 필터(Eigen-subspace based Filter) 기법을 제안하였으며, SAR 위성의 간섭제거 알고리즘인 고유치 기반 필터 기법의 정량적인 성능 분석을 위해 일반적인 노치 필터(Notch Filter) 기법을 적용한 결과를 토대로 비교 검증하였다.

SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) uses electromagnetic signals to acquire ground information and has been used for wide coverage reconnaissance missions regardless of weather conditions. However SAR is known to be vulnerable to interference signals by other communication devices or radar instruments and may suffer from undesirable performance degradations and image quality. In this paper, a modified Eigen-subspace based filter is proposed that can be easily applied to SAR images affected by interference signals. The method of constructing Eigen-subspace based filter is briefly described and various simulations are performed to show the performance of the interference mitigation process. The suppression filter is applied to a ALOS PALSAR raw data affected by interfering signals in order to verify its superiority over the Notch filter.

When tooth grinding occurs, electrical stimulation is given at the same time, and tooth grinding stops on such stimulation. Electromyography signals are used as control signals of electrical stimulation to disturb tooth grinding. However because of the electrical stimulation, the M-waves are generated and mixed with spontaneous electromyogram. In this study, we designed an optimal filter to remove M-wave and conserve spontaneous electromyogram simultaneously. The inverse power method (IPM) showed that the optimal filter coefficient is the eigenvector corresponding to the minimum eigenvalue of the input covariance matrix. In order to evaluate the performance of the optimal filter, we compared using a conventional band pass filter and adaptive filter using least mean square algorithm. The experimental results show that the optimal filter can effectively remove the M-wave compared to the previously studied prediction error filter
