A quadrature detection unit subjects an FM signal to quadrature detection using a local oscillation signal and outputs a base band signal. A first correction unit and a second correction unit correct the base band signal using a DC offset correction value. A DC offset detection unit subjects the corrected base band signal to rectangular to polar conversion and derives the DC offset correction value such that amplitudes in a plurality of phase domains defined in an IQ plane approximate each other. An FM detection unit subjects the corrected base band signal to FM detection and generates a detection signal. An addition unit adds an offset to the detection signal. An AFC unit generates a control signal for controlling a frequency of a local oscillation signal based on the detection signal to which the offset is added.

The present invention relates to a method for high-speed parallel processing for an ultrasonic signal, the method used for generation of an ultrasonic image by a smart device, which is provided with a mobile graphic processing unit (GPU), by receiving an input of an ultrasonic signal. The method comprises the steps of: receiving an input of an ultrasonic signal beam-formed by means of a first rendering cycle, removing a DC component from the ultrasonic signal, and then separating an in-phase component and a quadrature component from the ultrasonic signal, from which the DC component has been removed, and separately outputting same; a smart device performing quadrature demodulation and envelope detection processing for the ultrasonic signal, having the in-phase component and the quadrature component, by means of a second rendering cycle; and the smart device performing scan conversion for the ultrasonic signal, which has been obtained as the result of the second rendering cycle, by means of a fifth rendering cycle, wherein the rendering cycles are formed as a graphics pipeline structure comprising a vertex shader procedure, a rasterizer procedure, and a fragment shader procedure. A method for high-speed parallel processing for an ultrasonic signal by using a smart device, according to the present invention, enables high-speed parallel processing for an ultrasonic signal by means of a mobile GPU inside a smart device even in a mobile-based environment instead of a PC-based environment, thereby enabling the providing of an image having a frame rate that is useful for medical diagnosis.

A communication method and a system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT) are provided.

A coherent detection-based high-speed chaotic secure transmission method includes: at a transmit terminal in a chaotic secure transmission system, optically coupling an optical chaotic carrier and transmission information by using an orthogonal basis to mask the transmission information by using a noise-like feature of the chaotic carrier, so as to obtain a chaotic masked signal; adding a fast phase disturbance and a fast polarization disturbance to the chaotic masked signal and transmitting the chaotic masked signal over an optical fiber transmission link; and at a receive terminal, obtaining the chaotic masked signal through coherent detection, compensating the chaotic masked signal for linear and nonlinear effects through digital signal processing, and using a polarization orthogonal basis- or phase orthogonal basis-based chaotic decryption algorithm to separate the chaotic carrier from the signal so as to complete decryption.

A quadrature detector subjects a received signal to quadrature detection and outputs a base band signal. A direct current component measurement circuit measures a magnitude of a direct current component included in the base band signal from the quadrature detector. A first HPF and a second HPF reduce the direct current component included in the base band signal from the quadrature detector. A demodulator demodulates the base band signal output from the first HPF and the second HPF. A controller exercises control to attenuate a level of the received signal input to the quadrature detector when the magnitude of the direct current component measured by the direct current component measurement circuit is equal to or larger than a threshold value.
