This paper proposes a vocal enhancement technique for improving the performance of vocal pitch detection in polyphonic music signal. The proposed vocal enhancement technique predicts an accompaniment signal from the input signal and generates an accompaniment replica signal according to the vocal power. Then, it removes the accompaniment replica signal from the input signal, resulting in a vocal-enhanced signal. The performance of the proposed method was measured by applying the same vocal pitch extraction method to the original and the vocal-enhanced signal, and the vocal pitch detection accuracy was increased by 7.1 % point in average.

Recently, According to increasing interest to original sound Karaoke instrument, MIDI type karaoke manufacturer attempt to make more cheap method instead of original recoding method. The specific method is to make the original sound accompaniment to remove only the voice of the singer in the singer music album. In this paper, a system to separate vocal components from music accompaniment for stereo recordings were proposed. Proposed system consists of two stages. The first stage is a vocal detection. This stage classifies an input into vocal and non vocal portions by using SVM with MFCC. In the second stage, selective frequency subtractions were performed at each frequency bin in vocal portions. Listening test with removed vocal music from proposed system show relatively high satisfactory level.

Recently, According to increasing interest to original sound Karaoke instrument, MIDI type karaoke manufacturer attempt to make more cheap method instead of original recoding method. In this paper, we developed how to create MR from AR, recorded in stereo, by using the energy difference in the frequency domain and how to implement in DSP(TMS320C6713) were developed. At the output of the DSP board, 6-channel audio output interface designed for real-time stereophonic generating original sound, vocals removed MR, and separated vocals simultaneously. Real-time listening test using DSP show vocal separating and removal task successfully.

In this case, it is determined in consideration not only the energies for each frequency bin but also the phase of the each frequency bin at each channel signal. Listening test with removed vocal music from proposed system show relatively high satisfactory level.

This paper presents a karaoke system employing a vocal region detection algorithm based on the vocal characteristics. In the proposed system, an input song is classified into vocal and instrumental regions using the vocal region detection algorithm. Then, a vocal removal method is applied only to the vocal region. To detect vocal region, a classification algorithm is designed based on the vocal characteristics in the TICFT (twice iterated composite Fourier transform) domain. For vocal removal, vocal components are extracted from a band pass filtered vocal region and they are subtracted from the original song, yielding a vocal removed song. The performance of the proposed method is measured on four different songs.

A very fast algorithm, using fast Haar transformation with half a cycle dc-offset free data, to extract the power frequency components and to detect faults in power systems is proposed. For the speed-up, two important techniques are used. First, according to the symmetric characteristics of sine and cosine functions, fundamental frequency components are calculated with only half a cycle sample data. For using these characteristics, post-fault de-offset components must be removed beforehand. Therefore, secondly, a newly designed digital filter is used to remove exponentially decaying dc-offset from the post-fault signal. In accordance with series simulations, transmission line faults can be detected in around half a cycle after faults.

본 논문에서는 3상 IPM을 사용하여 2상 유도전동기를 위한 2레그형 인버터를 설계하였다. 3상 IPM은 6개의 스위칭 소자를 내장하고 있어서 이중 4개는 2레그형 인버터로 사용하고, 나머지 2개는 역률제어 회로에 이용할 수 있다. 이렇게 하면 하드웨어의 추가를 최소화하면서 역률제어 기능을 갖는 2레그형 인버터를 구현할 수 있다. 2레그형 인버터에서는 반드시 직류링크에 2개의 커패시터를 직렬로 연결하는데, 입력 전원의 반주기 마다 각각의 커패시터에 충방전 동작이 수행된다. 이러한 동작으로 인해 2개의 커패시터에 전압 불균형이 발생할 수 있고 커패시터 용량이 서로 다를 경우에는 이 전압 리플이 더욱 커지게 되며, 이것은 전동기에 불평형 전류를 공급하게 되어 전동기의 토크리플을 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 직류링크의 전압 불균형 문제가 전동기에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 이러한 전압 불균형을 보상하여 전동기의 토크리플을 제거하고 동작특성을 개선하는 방법을 제안하며, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 이를 검증한다.

In this paper we dicuss the dither-stripping methods by V-F(voltage to frequency) conversion of the output of angular velocity sensor which is for detecting the dither motion of the ring laser cavity. In this case, it is very important to evaluate the pulse-to-pulse scale factor between the ring lase output pulse and V-F output pulse, and also to compensate the zero offset of the V-F output pulse. In the case of the dither-stripping by the V-F conversion of angular velocity sensor output, there is a big angle uncertainty in the process of compensating the zero offset due to the dither noise for compensating the V-F output. By differential, the phase of the V-F output is changed. So, to compensate it, we change 90deg of the phase of angular velocity sensor output and delay half sampling time of the phase of ring laser output in advance. In this case the pulse-to-pulse scale factor can be evaluated by the standard deviation of each pulse. We can get the good result of the dither-stripping output by this angle differential method.

This paper presents the design of 860 MHz band transmitter for improving power amplifier's linearity using Cartesian feedback method. For eliminating the effects of gain, phase mis-match, and DC offset, we estimate the property variations using ADS software. The implemented Cartesian feedback transmitter exhibits IMD3 of -54 dBc at an output power of 43 dBm and this result shows that the linearity is improved for 22.4 dB, compared with the test of the power amplifier without Cartesian feedback system. Thus, we verify that the proposed Cartesian feedback transmitter can be applied to narrow-band transmitter systems.
