The Sinusoidal Transform Coding(STC) is a vocoding scheme based on a sinusoidal model of a speech signal. The low bit-rate speech coding based on sinusoidal model is a method that models and synthesizes speech with fundamental frequency and its harmonic elements, spectral envelope and phase in the frequency region. In this paper, we propose the 2.4kbps low-rate speech coding algorithm using the sinusoidal model of a speech signal. In the proposed coder, the pitch frequency is estimated by choosing the frequency that makes least mean squared error between synthetic speech with all spectrum peaks and speech synthesized with chosen frequency and its harmonics. The spectral envelope is estimated using SEEVOC(Spectral Envelope Estimation VOCoder) algorithm and the discrete all-pole model. The phase information is obtained using the time of pitch pulse occurrence, i.e., the onset time, as well as the phase of the vocal tract system. Experimental results show that the synthetic speech preserves both the formant and phase information of the original speech very well. The performance of the coder has been evaluated in terms of the MOS test based on informal listening tests, and it achieved over the MOS score of 3.1.

In this paper, we propose a method for establishing a state-space equation model for the motion analysis of floating structures subjected to wave loads, by applying system-identification techniques. Traditionally, the motion of floating structures has been analyzed in the time domain by integrating the Cummins equation over time, which utilizes a convolution integral term to account for the effects of the retardation function. State-space equation models have been studied as a way to efficiently solve floating-motion equations in the time domain. The proposed approach outlines a procedure to derive the target transfer function for the load-displacement input/output relationship in the frequency domain and subsequently determine the state-space equation that closely approximates it. To obtain the state-space equation, the method employs the N4SID system-identification method and an optimization approach that treats the coefficients of the numerator and denominator polynomials as design variables. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we applied it to the analysis of a single-degree-of-freedom model and the motion of a six-degree-of-freedom barge. Our findings demonstrate that the presented state-space equation model aligns well with the existing analysis results in both the frequency and time domains. Notably, the method ensures computational accuracy in the time-domain analysis while significantly reducing the calculation time.

In this paper, we presented a new LC prototype synthesis method for the multi-band filter. For synthesis a multi-band filter with the required frequency response, we proposed the diagram of poles and zeros, also, we proposed the optimization process for finding the combination of optimized poles and zeros. From the transfer and reflection functions calculated from poles and zeros, we performed the quasi-elliptic LC prototype synthesis of multi-band filter. Using the proposed LC prototype synthesis method of multi-band filter, dual-band filter operating at GSM(880~960 MHz) and ISM(2,400~2,500 MHz) and triple-band filter operating at GSM(880~960 MHz) and ISM(2,400~2,500, 5,725~5,850 MHz) were designed and fabricated.

최근에 각광을 받고 있는 전기 발광 소자를 Langmuir-Blodgett(LB)법을 이용하여 제작하였다. 사용 시료는 본 연구팀에서 합성을 하였으며, 시료는 PECCP[poly(3,6-N-2-ethylhexyl carbazolyl cyanoterephthalidene)]이며, 이 물질은 반복되는 주쇄에서 강한 전자 주게 그룹과 강한 전자 받게 그룹을 가지고 있다. PECCP 발광층을 제작하는데는 Langmuir-Blodgett(LB)법을 사용하였으며, 누적 층수에 의해 금속/고분자 계면의 특성을 조사하였다. 소자의 구조는 ITO/PECCP LB/Al과 ITO/PECCP LB/$Alq_3$/Al이며, ITO와 $Alq_3$ 사이에 발광층으로써 PECCP LB막을 도입하였다. 여기서 $Alq_3$는 전자 전달 층으로 사용되었다. PECCP LB막의 UV/visible 흡수 피크는 약 410mm에서, PL 피크는 약 536mm에서, 그리고 EL 피크도 역시 약 536nm에서 관찰되었다. 또한 $Alq_3$를 도입한 구조에서의 EL 피크 측정 결과 다양한 발광피크가 관측되었으며, Fowler-Nordheim 분석법을 이용하여 금속의 유기 막에 대한 일함수 값을 계산하였으며, 금속의 유기 막에 대한 일함수 값은 $0.18{\sim}0.26eV$이 계산되었다.

With the study for identifying the transmission characteristics of vibration and noise generated by operating engine system of a vehicle, recently many engineers have studied actively the reduction of vibration and noise inducing uncomfortableness to the passenger. In this study, output noise was analyzed by multi-dimensional spectral analysis and vector synthesis method. The multi-dimensional analysis method is very effective in case of identification of primary source, but this method has little effect on suggestion for interior noised reduction. For compensation of this, vector synthesis method was used to obtain effective method for interior noise reduction, after identifying primary source for output noise. In this paper, partial coherence function of each input was calculated to know which input was most coherent to output noise, then with simulation of changes for input magnitude and phase by vector synthesis diagram, the trends of synthesized output vector was obtained. As a result, the change of synthesized output vector could be estimated.

This study intends to reduce the weight of structure without changing the dynamic characteristics. At first, the Vibration analysis by the Substructure Synthesis Method and FFM using the ANSYS are performed for the engine speed converter to confirm the reliability of the analyzing tools. Weight minimization is performed by the Sensitivity Analysis and the Optimum Structural Modification. To decrease the converter weight ideally, the parts with low sensitivity are to be cut mainly, and the changing quantity of the natural frequency by the cut is to be recovered by the weight modification of the parts with high sensitivity. As the unique mathematical solution for the homogeneous problem(i.e. 0 object function problem) does not exist, the converter is redesigned with much thinner initial thickness. The goal of this study is to recover the dynamic characteristics of redesigned structure to those of the original one. To say in the other words, the modified structure has the same dynamic characteristics and the more lighter weight to compare with the original one.

In this analysis, the modification was performed with the redesigned initial thickness of 60 mm and 70 mm. And the numbers of the interesting natural frequencies are 1, 2, 4 respectively. Consequently 27％ of weight reduction effects were earned.

입체음향 생성을 위한 기존의 방법은 크게 바이노럴 녹음기법과 머리전달함수(HRTF)를 이용한 바이노럴 합성 기법으로 나눌 수 있다. 현재 바이노럴 기법은 기존 스테레오 시스템에 비해 공간감, 몰입감 측면에서는 탁월한 효과가 있지만, 음질의 저하와 정면 음상 정위가 잘되지 않는다는 치명적인 단점 때문에 프로페셔널 오디오 분야에서는 거의 사용되지 않고 몇몇 PC 게임용으로만 사용되고 있다. 본 논문은 정확한 정면 음상 정위를 위해 '3채널 더미헤드를 이용한 바이노럴 녹음기법' 을 제안하고, 기존 스테레오 녹음기법과의 호환성 유지를 위해 녹음 현장에서 직접 사용될 수 있는 3채널 더미헤드를 사용한 'Weighted Diffuse-field equalization 기법'에 대해 제안하며, 3 채널 더미헤드를 이용하여 기존 HRTF 데이터를 대체할 수 있는 정면 음상 정위에 강인한 '3 채널 더미헤드 HRTF 측정 기법'에 대해 제안한다.

This paper presents an approximation method for simplifying a high-order transfer function to a low-order transfer function. A model reduction is based on minimizing the error function weighted by the numerator polynomial of reduced systems. The proposed methods provide better low frequency fit and a computer aided algorithm that estimates the coefficients vector for the numerator and denominator polynomial on the simplified systems from an overdetermined linear system constructed by frequency responses of the original systems. Two examples are given to illustrate the feasibilities of the suggested schemes.
