In this paper, to overcome the effect of nonlinear power amplifier, CE-CPSK(Constant Envelope Continuous Phase Shift Keying)modulation method which has the constant envelope and continuous phase characteristics is proposed. The code acquisition performances of the CE-CPSK modulated system and BPSK system are analyzed. And the performance is evaluated in terms of mean acquisition time and detection probability with the output backoff of the amplifier in multiuser environment. Results performed in a channel having a high degree of AM nonlinearity(AM-to-AM conversion), have shown that the CE-CPSK signal, when passed through class C-nonlinear Amplifier, has a spectrum with greatly reduced sidelobes compared to the conventional BPSK signal. The code acquisition performance of a CE-CPSK modulation system is better than that of BPSK system with nonlinear amplified multiuser environments.

The exact fundamental frequency (pitch) extraction is important in speech signal processing. However the exact pitch extraction from speech signal is very difficult due to the effect of formant and transitional amplitude. So in this paper, the pitch is detected after flattening the spectrum in frequency region by proposed algorithm for minimized harmonics variance value. Experimental result showed the proposed method appeared an outstanding performance in compared with LPC, Cepstrum. Also, the results show the proposed method is better than conventional method.

For the purpose of monitoring by ultrasonic test of the ball bearing conditions in rotating machinery, a system for their diagnosis was developed. ultrasonic technique is used to detect abnormal conditions in the bearing system. And various data such as frequency spectrum, energy and amplitude of ultrasonic signals, and ultrasonic parameters were acquired during experiments with the simulated ball bearing system. Based on the above results and practical application for power plant, algorithms and judgement criteria for diagnosis system was established. Bearing diagnosis system is composed of four parts as follows : sensing part for ultrasonic sensor and preamplifier, signal processing part for measuring frequency spectrum, energy and amplitude, interface part for connecting ultrasonic signal to PC using A/D converter, graphic display and software part for display of bearing condition and for managing of diagnosis program.

126-kHz bistatic sea surface scattering measurements were conducted in the shallow waters off the east coasts of Korea. The range from source to receiver was altered to change the scattering angle at the grazing angles of 38％ and 52％ . Unlike bottom scattering signal, the arrival time and the amplitude of sea surface scattering signals were varied due to the fluctuation of sea surface. The measured forward scattering strengths were compared to model predictions of Kirchhoff approximation and small slope approximation. In overall, the tendency of the scattering strengths showed reasonable agreement among the experimental data, Kirchhoff approximation, and small slope approximation.

In this paper, CE-CPSK(Constant Envelope Continuous Phase Shift Keying) modulated DS/SS(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) transceiver with 908 MHz carrier frequency and 1.5 MHz PN clock rate is proposed. To overcome the effect of nun-linear power amplifier, CE-CPSK modulation method which has the constant envelope and continuous phase characteristics is proposed. To analyze the DS/SS receiver performance with respect to code tracking loop, multipath fading channel is characterized as a two-ray Rayleigh fading channel. To compensate the demerit of analog delay locked loop, digital delay locked loop is employed for code tracking loop. Simulation and experimental examination has been carried out in AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) and Rayleigh fading channel environment in order to prove validity of the proposed method.

A simplified methodology is presented to predict fatigue life and residual strength of composite structures. To avoid excessive amount of tests that are required for model characterization, strength degradation parameter is assumed as function of fatigue life. S-N curve is used to extract fatigue life that is required to characterize the stress levels comprising a randomly-ordered load spectrum. And different stress ratios are handled with Goodman correction approach(fatigue envelope). It is assumed that the residual strength is a function of the number of loading cycles and applied fatigue stress amplitude. And the residual strength distribution after an arbitrary load cycles is represented by two parameter Weibull functions.

We measured the flow at peripheral blood vessel of finger dorsum surface using noninvasive LDF(Laser Doppler Flowmeter). We investigated the flow properties between the normal and the diabetic with the Amplitude Spectral Densities of FFT analysis. We classified the diabetic as four groups of negative neuropathy, positive neuropathy, hyperthyroid and hypothyroid. And tested the neuropathic and thyroid effects of peripheral blood flow. As the results, the diabetic, the positive neuropathic and the hypothyroid respectively showed the abnormal blood flow properties on the contrary of the normal flow of negative neuropathic and hyperthyroid.

Some digital partical response continuous phase modulation signals such as 3RC, 3SRC, 4SRC, and TFM have cconstant envelope characteristics and compact power spectra. However, their bit error rates in fast fading environments are too high when a simple frequency detection is used. This is due to high inter symbol interference resulting from adjacent bits. The improvement of BER performance by using DFE(Decision Feedback Equalization) to cancel the ISI of one adjacent bit is theoretically investigated in this paper. Numerical resuls are presentes to compare the BER performance of frequency detection with and without decision feedback equalization.

Four wave gauges of pressure type were installed for about one month(1992. 2~3) for the analysis of wave agitations induced by the intrusion of long-period incident waves inside and outside of Donghae Harbor. Helmholtz natural period and second peak period of seiche in Donghae Harbor are found to be approximately 17.1 and 5.5 minutes from the spectral analysis of measured long-period wave data. Amplification ratio at Helmholtz natural period reaches about 10 which is five times as lagre as that of Youngil Bay, but wave amplitudes ill harbor were about 10 em during the measurement period which are relatively small.

One of the most important roles in the nonlinear dynamic structural analysis is to select a proper ground excitation, which dominates the response of a structure. Because of the lack of recorded accelerograms in Korea, a stochastic model of ground excitation with various dynamic properties rather than recorded accelerograms is necessarily required. If all information is not available at site, the information from other sites with similar features can be used by the procedure of seismic hazard analysis. Eliopoulos and Wen identified the parameters of the ground motion model by the empirical relations or expressions developed by Trifunac and Lee. Because the relations used in the parameter identification are largely empirical, it is required to apply the artificial neural networks instead of the empirical model. Additionally, neural networks have the advantage of the empirical model that it can continuously re-train the new recorded data, so that it can adapt to the change of the enormous data. Based on the redefined traditional processes, three neural-networks-based models (FAS_NN, PSD_NN and INT_NN) are proposed to individually substitute the Fourier amplitude spectrum, the parameter identification of power spectral density function and intensity function. The paper describes the first half of the research for the development of Neural-Networks-based model for the generation of an Artificial earthquake and a Response Spectrum(NNARS).
