발성율은 일정한 시간동안 발성되는 음성신호 내에 몇 개의 음절이 포함되어 있는 지를 나타낸다. 발성율은 화자마다 다르고 각 음소들의 특징에 따라 변화할 수 있다. 발성율의 사전 측정이 이루어 진다면 음성부호화 측면에서도 중용한 정보로 사용될 수 있다. 기존의 음성부호화기는 발성율에 관계없이 고정적인 분석 구간을 정하여 전송률을 결정하고 있다. 따라서, 발성율을 미리 측정한다면, 발성율이 느린 부분과 빠른 부분에 각기 다른 부호화 방법을 적용하여 음질을 향상할 수도 있고 전송률을 가변적으로 적용할 수 도 있게 된다. 정확한 발성율을 측정하기 위해서는 음절의 변화를 추정하여야 한다. 음절의 변화를 추정하기 위한 방법으로 음성신호의 에너지 포락선 측정법과 LSP를 이용한 측정법이 각각 제안된 바 있으나, 본 논문에서는 위 두 가지 방법을 혼합한 방법을 사용하였다. 에너지 변동은 음성신호의 시간영역 처리방법으로 LSP 파라미터는 음성신호의 선형예측 분석에 의해 구해질 수 있다.

In this paper, a nonlinear relationship between an input complex envelope and an output complex envelope of m-th harmonic zone is theoretically analyzed, and AM/$AM_m$ and AM/$PM_m$ are defined. A scheme to extract these characteristics from measured in-phase and quadrature-phase data is suggested. The proposed analysis is verified with a fundamental-fundamental and fundamental-third harmonic measurements for a InGaP power amplifier(PA). Based on the harmonic-band nonlinear analysis and extraction scheme, a new technique to send a signal in m-th harmonic band with a harmonic signal Linearization Digital Predistortion(DPD) scheme is presented. A numerical analysis and a Look-Up Table(LUT) based DPD algorithms to linearize output signal on m-th harmonic zone are developed. For a 16- and a 64-QAM input signals, a DPD for third harmonic signal linearization is implemented, and output spectrum and signal constellation are measured. The wholly distorted signals are linearized, and thus the measured Error Vector Magnitudes (EVM) are 6.4 % and 6.5 % respectively. The results show that a proposed scheme linearizes a nonlinearly distorted harmonic band signals. The proposed nonlinear analysis and predistortion scheme can be applied to multiband transmitter in next generation software defined radio(SDR)/cognitive radio(CR) wireless system.

최근 국내·외에서는 산지에서 발생하는 토사재해를 관리하기 위하여 유사이송해석에 필수적인 요소인 소류사량 추정 방안에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 음향센서가 내장되어 있는 파이프 하이드로폰은 소류사 입자가 충돌 또는 통과하면서 발생하는 음향을 계측하여 소류사량을 간접적으로 계측하는 방법이다. 하이드로폰에 계측된 음향신호는 신호의 정점을 연결한 포락선 신호로 변환되며, 증폭기에 의해 다양한 배율의 신호로 증폭된다. 이렇게 증폭되어진 여러 배율의 신호와 원시신호는 데이터로거에 의해 지속적으로 기록되고, 가공처리하며 검출된 음향 펄스 수와 특정 시간간격의 음압적분치를 이용하여 소류사량을 추정하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 하이드로폰에 계측되는 소류사의 충돌음으로부터 정량적인 소류사량을 추정하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 단일 입경 6종류와 유속 3종류 및 소류사량 5단계로 변화를 주었으며 디노이징 필터를 통해 원시신호의 노이즈를 제거함으로써, 소류사량 추정률의 성능을 높이고자 하였다. 원시신호와 디노이징 음향신호를 비교·분석한 결과 제안된 방법이 기존 원시신호 보다 높은 소류사량 추정률을 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, 단일 입경 연속공급실험을 수행하여 소류사량 추정 가능성을 확인하였다. 향후 혼합 입경 소류사량 추정 실험 및 다양한 입경을 활용한다면 높은 소류사량 추정률을 얻을 것으로 기대된다.

Various sources, such as wind, waves, ships, and gas leaks from the seafloor, forms bubbles in the ocean. Underwater bubbles cause signal scattering, considerably affecting acoustic measurements. This characteristic of bubbles is used to block underwater noise by attenuating the intensity of the propagated signal. Recently, researchers have been studying the large-scale release of methane gas as bubble plumes from the seabed. Understanding the physical properties and distribution of bubble plumes is crucial for studying the relation between leaked methane gas and climate change. Therefore, a water tank experiment was conducted to estimate the distribution of bubble plumes using seismic imaging techniques and acoustic signals obtained from artificially generated bubbles using a bubble generator. Reverse time migration was applied to image the bubble plumes while the acquired acoustic envelope signal was used to effectively estimate bubble distribution. Imaging results were compared with optical camera images to verify the estimated bubble distribution. The water tank experiment confirmed that the proposed system could successfully image the distribution of bubble plumes using reverse time migration and the envelope signal. The experiment showed that the scattering signal of artificial bubble plumes can be used for seismic imaging.

In this paper, we synthesized active sonar target signals based on highlights model, and then carried out target classification using the synthesized signals. If the target aspect angle is changed, the different signals are synthesized. To know the result, two different experiments are done. First, The classification results with respect to each aspect angle are shown. Second, the results in two group in aspect angle are acquired. Time domain feature extraction is done using matched filter and envelope detection. It shows the pattern of each highlights. Artificial neural networks and multi-class SVM are used for classifying target signals.

In this paper, a power amplifier module for WCDMA base-station applications is designed and implemented using GaN field-effect transistors (FETs), which uses an envelope tracking bias system. The designed module consists of an high gain MMIC amplifier, a driver amplifier, a power amplifier, and bias circuits for envelope tracking applications. Especially, a FET bias sequencing circuit and two isolators are integrated for stable RF operations. All circuits are assembled within a single housing, so its dimension is just $17.8{\times}9.8{\times}2.0\;cm3$. Measured results show that the developed power amplifier module has good envelope tracking capability: the power-added efficiency of 35% at the output power range from 30dBm to 40dBm over a wide range of drain bias.

The synthetic aperture radar(SAR) is an equipment that can acquire images in all weathers day and night based on radar signals. The on-board processor of satellite SAR generates transmission signal by digital signal processing, converts it into an analog signal and transmits to antenna. Until the transmission signal generated by on-board processor is output, the signal passes the transmission cables and analog devices. At this time, these hardware distort the signal and makes SAR performance worse. To improve the performance, pre-distortion technique is used. But, general pre-distortion using taylor series is not sufficient to compensate for the distortion. This paper suggests transmit signal design method with improved pre-distortion. This paper uses envelop sampling method and interpolation filter for frequency domain compensation. The proposed method accurately compensates the hardware distortion and reduces resource usage of FPGA. To analyze proposed method's performance, IRF characteristics are compared when the proposed method applies to signal with errors.

This paper presents a novel linearization scheme for a nonlinear RF amplifier It is based on the amplitude modulation with envelope signal. The 3rd order distortion generator is composed of two FETs and it adopts a balanced structure for the purpose of main carrier cancellation. The amplitude and phase of the IM3 component can be controlled at RF band. This predistorter is implemented and tested at the KOREA PCS Tx. band (1840∼1870MHz). Experimental results of two-tone test show that the IM3 cancellation is achieved about 30-40 ㏈ for the wide dynamic range. The adjacent channel power ratio is improved by over 10 ㏈ at the broad-band CDMA signal with a peak to average power ratio of l0㏈, and this improvement is maintained through a wide range of output power levels.

The damage of tire by damage material classification method is researched as used ultrasonic wave signal to occur at a tire during vehicle driving. Auto-correlation function after having passed through an envelope detecting preprocess is used for detecting periodicity because of occurring periodic ultrasonic waves signal with tire revolution. One revolution cycle time of a damaged tire and period that calculated auto-correlation function appeared equally in experiment. The result that can classification whether or not there was a tire damage is established.
