본 연구에서는 대기 중 극 미량으로 존재하는 환경 유해 가스 성분을 검출할 수 있는 미세 소자로의 응용을 위해 마이크로 칸티레버를 제작하고 가스 센서로의 활용 가능성을 검토하였다. 마이크로 칸티레버는 크게 구동층 캐패시터로서 대표적인 압전 재료인 Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_3$ (PZT)를 사용하고 SiNx 박막을 지지층으로 하는 형태로 제작되었다. 제작된 마이크로 칸티레버는 치수 및 형상에 따라 17~29 KHz 의 기본 공진 주파수 값을 나타내었다. Electron beam evaporator를 이용한 copper (Cu) 박막의 단계적인 증착을 통해 칸티 레버 표면에 질량을 증가시키고 그에 따른 마이크로 칸티레버의 공진주파수 변화를 관찰한 결과 질량 증가에 대해 34 Hz/ng의 선형적인 주파수 감소를 나타내었으며, 이로부터 694.4 $\textrm{cm}^2$/g 의 gravimetric sensitivity factor를 얼을 수 있었다. 마이크로칸티레버의 가스 감지능력 시험을 위해 가스 흡착층으로 일차 알콜류의 vapor를 흡착 하는 것으로 보고된 poly methyl metacrytate (PMMA)를 마이크로 칸티레버 표면에 코팅하였다. 마이크로칸티 레버의 기본 공진 주파수 및 PMMA 흡착층 형성과 가스의 흡착에 따른 주파수 변화는 마이크로 칸티 레버로부터 의 전기적 신호를 이용하는 복소 임피던스 분석에 의해 측정되었다. PMMA가 코팅된 마이크로 칸티레버는 ethanol 및 methanol vapor 의 농도가 증가함에 따라 선형적인 공진주파수 감소를 나타내었으며, methanol vapor 의 경우 0.06 Hz/ppm 의 가스 검출 감도를 얻을 수 있었다.

Fundamental frequency is controlled by contraction of both TA and CT muscle. While activity of the CT is known well, little is known regarding the effect of the TA muscle on vocal fold vibration. To study this, a previously developed in vivo canine laryngeal model was modified. Isolated TA muscle activation was obtained by stimulating sectioned terminal TA branches through small thyroid cartilage windows. The results indicated that TA muscle activation is a major determinant in vocal register shift from falsetto to modal phonation. F0 increased with increasing TA activation in modal register, On the other hand, the F0 decreased with TA activation when the evoked voice belonged to falsetto register. Subglottic pressure increased gradually and OQ decreased gradually with TA activation.

This paper analyzes the previous Anjok model of the Gayageum and describes a method to improve the frequency modeling based on previous model. In the previous work, relation between the fundamental frequency and Anjok's location on the body is assumed as an exponential function and these frequencies are integrated by a first-order leaky integrator. Finally, a parameter of the formula to calculate the fundamental frequency is obtained by applying integrated frequencies to the linear regression. This model shows 2.5 Hz absolute deviation on average and has maximum error 7.75 Hz for the low fundamental frequencies. In order to overcome this problem, this paper proposes that the Anjok's locations are grouped according to the rate of error increase and linear regression is applied to each group. To find the optimal parameter, the RMSE(Root Mean Square Error) between measured and calculated fundamental frequencies is used. The proposed model shows substantial reduction in errors, especially maximum three times.

This study sought to investigate whether mean speaking fundamental frequency (SFF) can be predicted by parameters of voice and speech range profile (VRP and SRP) in Korean normal adults. Moreover, it explored whether gender differences exist in the absolute differences between the SFF and estimated SFF (ESFF) predicted by the VRP and SRP. A total of 85 native Korean speakers with normal voice participated in the study. Each participant was asked to perform the VRP task using the vowel /a/ and the SRP task using the first sentence of a Korean standard passage "Ga-eul". In addition, the SFF was measured with electroglottography during a passage reading task. Predictive factors of the SFF were explored and the absolute difference between the SFF and the ESFF (DSFF) was compared between gender groups. Results indicated that predictive factors were age, gender, minimum pitch and pitch range for the VRP (adjusted $R^2=.931$), and pitch range (in semi-tones) and maximum pitch for the SRP (adjusted $R^2=.963$), respectively. The SFF and ESFF predicted by the VRP and SRP showed a strong positive correlation. The DSFF of the VRP and SRP, as well as their sum did not differ by gender. In conclusion, the SFF during a passage reading task could be successfully predicted by the parameters of the VRP and SRP tasks. In further studies, clinical implications need to be explored in patients who may exhibit deviations in SFF.

최근 각 이동통신사업별로 기존의 CDMA 방식을 이용하여 IMT-2000의 서비스에 해당되는 대용량 데이터서비스를 제공하고 있다. 그러나 각 사업자 별로 할당된 현재의 주파수대역으로는 영상서비스를 기본으로 하는 대용량 데이터서비스를 제공하기 어려운 상황이며, 새로운 주파수대역의 추가 분배가 필요한 상태이다. 본 논문에서는 ITU-R에서 제시하고 있는 권고안을 기초로 국내 이동통신서비스 확대에 요구되는 추가 스펙트럼 요구량을 산출하였으며, 디지털 이동통신서비스를 위해 필요한 스펙트럼 효율의 정량화 및 추가 소요 주파수 대역을 계산하는 방법을 정량화 하였다.

LSP 방식은 음성의 주파수 특성을 포함하는 공진 주파수를 낮은 부분과 SHB은 부분의 주파수 로 표시되는 선스펙트럼쌍 계수를 구하는 방법이다. 본 논문은 LSP 방식을 사용하여 한국어의 기본 모 음 7개를 대상으로 하여 분석하고 LSP 계수를 구하는 Algorithm을 개발하였으며 PARCOR 방식과 비 교하였다. 실험 결과 LSP 방식의 연산량이 PARCO 방식의 연산량보다 약 1/2정도로 적음을 알 수 있었 고 Hardware 구성 시에 있어서도 경제적임을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 LSP는 계수 모음의 종류에 따라 각 기 다른 공진 주파수, 대역폭을 나타내기 때문에 음성 합성이나 음성 인식 분야에 있어 기초 자료로 이 용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, a frequency tripler has been designed with 100mW medium-power using P-HEMT. It is designed to obtain 7.2 GHz frequency at the output that is an integer multiple of 2.4 GHz input frequency by using nonlinear device that produces 3rd harmonic. The frequency tripler is designed by using load-pull simulation. To suppress the 2nd and fundamental, notch filter is used for the frequency tripler. The tripler is designed to obtain about 21dBm output power with 15 dBm input, i.e., 6 dB conversion gain and the suppression of 20 dBc at fundamental, and 30 dBc at the second harmonics.

The purpose of this study was to compare the vocal characteristics of 40 adults with and without cerebral palsy (CP), upon presentation of three speech tasks (i.e., reading, chanting, and singing). The Praat program was utilized to generate data on fundamental frequency, voice intensity, jitter, and shimmer. The results of the analysis revealed no significant differences on fundamental frequency and intensity. However, both groups showed significant decreases in jitter and shimmer when engaged in singing tasks. The analysis of group differences indicated that adults with CP showed significantly higher variation scores on jitter and shimmer than the group without CP, and the difference on jitter and shimmer became greater during rhythmic chanting. In terms of jitter variation, the interaction effects according to the groups and types of speech tasks were greater, demonstrating the differences between the two groups. This study can be utilized as a basic research, regarding changes in vocal characteristics of adults with CP according to different musical speech tasks.

In this paper, a novel design concept of frequency doubler using feedforward technique and DGS microstrip line is proposed. The feedforward loop plays a role of fundamental frequency suppression and DGS microstrip line suppresses over the 3rd order harmonic components. By using this new concept, the high suppression for the undesired signals could be achieved easily. The proposed technique is experimentally demonstrated in 1.87 GHz-to-3.74 GHz frequency doubler. The output power of -3 dBm at the frequency of 3.74 GHz(2f$\_$0/) is measured with 42.9 dB suppression of the fundamental frequency signal(f$\_$0/), 20.2 dB suppression of the 3rd harmonic signal(3f$\_$0/) and B9.7 dB suppression of the 4th harmonic signal(4f$\_$0/). The conversion loss of -2.34 dB ∼ -5.8 dB at the bandwidth of 100 MHz, the phase noise of -97.51 dB/Hz(＠10 kHz) were measured.
