In this paper, a new pre-processing algorithm is proposed to improve the performance of stereo acoustic echo canceller. The proposed algorithm has the improved performance by the estimation error reduction of filter coefficient using input signal which was reduced reverberation of room in the basis MINT (Mu1tip1e-input/output Inverse Theorem) filtering. For real stereo speech signal and real room impulse response the results of simulation, we showed that the proposed method could improved 3∼5 dB ERLE (Echo Return Loss Enhancement) regardless of NLMS (Normalized Least Mean Square) and Projection adaptive algorithm.

NLMS algorithm is widely used as acoustic echo canceller. NLMS algorithm is degraded by the ambient noises and the near-end speech signals. In this paper, a robust acoustic echo cancellation algorithm is proposed. To enhance the echo cancellation performance, the step size of the proposed algorithm is normalized by the sum of the power of the reference signals and the primary signals. As results of comparing the excess mean square errors, it is shown that the proposed algorithm can enhance the performance of cancelling the echo signals. Some experiments, which is used multimedia personal computer, are carried out. As results of experiments, the proposed algorithm shows better performance than conventional ones.

This paper investigates the noise transmission performance of industrial mufflers widely used in ships based on the CAE modeling and simulation. Since the industrial mufflers have very complicated internal structures, the conventional Transfer Matrix Method (TMM) is of limited use. The CAE modeling and simulation is therefore required to incorporate commercial softwares: CATIA for geometry modeling, MSC/PATRAN for FE meshing and LMS/SYSNOISE for analysis. Main sources of difficulties in this study are led by complicated arrangement of reactive elements, perforated walls and absorption materials. The reactive elements and absorbent materials are modeled by applying boundary conditions given by impedance. The perforated walls are modeled by applying the transfer impedance on the duplicated node mesh. The CAE approach presented in this paper is verified by comparing with the theoretical solution of a concentric-tube resonator and is applied for industrial mufflers.

This paper proposes Snapping Shrimp Noise (SSN) detection and corrupted Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) reconstruction methods to increase Bit Error Rate (BER) performance when OFDM transmitted signal is corrupted by impulsive SSNs in underwater acoustic communications. The proposed detection method utilizes multilayer wavelet packet decomposition for detecting impulsive and irregularly concentrated and SSN energy in specific frequency bands of SSN, and the proposed reconstruction scheme uses iterative decision directed-subcarrier reconstruction to recover corrupted OFDM signals using multiple carrier characteristics. Computer simulations were executed to show receiver operating characteristics curve for the detection performance and BER for the reconstruction. The practical ocean experiment of SAVEX 15 demonstrated that the proposed method exhibits a better detection performance compared with conventional detection method and improves BER by 250% and 1230% for uncoded and coded data, respectively, compared with the conventional reconstruction scheme.

Adaptive filters cannot exactly estimate the echo path of the receiving room because of the cross-correlation of stereo signals. In this paper, a new pre-processing method reducing the cross-correlation without degradation of stereophony is proposed to enhance the performance of stereophonic acoustic echo canceller. To reduce the cross-correlation, absolutes of two orthogonal signals derived from each channel signals are added to original channel signals. Assuming that the power of each channel signal is larger than that of the cross-correlation, the computation of pre-processing can be reduced. As results of simulations, it is shown that the performance of stereo acoustic echo canceller with the proposed pre-processing method is better than that of conventional ones.

A stereo acoustic echo canceller has significant cross-correlation between each channel signal. As the result, the adaptive filter coefficient that estimates the acoustic echo path of a receiving room can misconverge to the path or converge slowly. In this paper, a new preprocessor using absolute difference in stereo signals is proposed to reduce cross-correlations and to improve the removal efficiency of the stereo acoustic echo. Compared to the previous preprocessor using a half wave rectifier, the newly proposed preprocessor showed better performance according to computer simulation. In addition, when the paths of transmitting room were changed the performance of the proposed preprocessor was not degraded.

A channel is very sever in an underwater acoustic communication. Therefore, a modulation method with high spectrum efficiency is needed in an underwater acoustic communication. PSK(phase shift keying) for transmitting 1 bit or 2 bits is robust to noise, but sensitive to noise about more than 3 bits. CPFSK error performance for transmitting 1 bit or 2 bits is similar to that of PSK and CPFSK decreases high frequency components in modulation signal. In the paper, I analyze the performance of trellis coded 4-CPFSK modulation.

The paper discusses the effect of the winglets on the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performance of Boeing 737-800 aircraft by numerical approach. For this purpose, computational fluid dynamics and fluent commercial software are used to solve the compressible flow governing equations. The RANS method and the K-ω SST turbulence model are selected to simulate the subsonic flow around the wing with acceptable accuracy and low computational cost. The main variables of steady flow around the simple and blended wing in constant atmospheric conditions are computed by numerical solution of governing equations. The solution of the acoustic field has also been accomplished by the broad-band acoustic source model. The results reveal that adding a blended winglet increases the pressure difference near the wingtip,which increases the lift force. Also, the blended winglet reduces the power and magnitude of vorticities around the wingtip, which reduces the wing's drag force. The effects of winglets on aerodynamic forces lead to a 3.8% increase in flight range and a 3.6% increase in the maximum payload of the aircraft. Also, the acoustic power level variables on the surfaces and fields around the wing have been investigated integrally and locally.

The requirement of acoustic material which is used in underwater environment more increases. The material is used to reduce acoustic signature and radiate noise for underwater vehicle. Underwater acoustic material was made by viscoelastic material such as a rubber and a polyurethane etc. The mechanical and acoustic characteristics of these material change with hydrostatic pressure. In order to increase an acoustic performance according to hydrostatic pressure, several kinds of scatterers were added to viscoelastic material. In this paper, acoustic modelling and analysis techniques of underwater acoustic material with hydrostatic pressure were introduced and proposed. The specimens for pulse tube test were made and echo reductions were calculated and measured with hydrostatic pressure. Also the characteristics of echo reduction of the specimens with hydrostatic pressure were obtained and discussed.

Planar array of acoustic transducer is normally used in a sonar system. Acoustic radiation makes beam pattern in underwater uses. The main source of the beam pattern is due to the transducer array. Therefore, estimation of the acoustic radiated power is necessary to predict the performance and efficiency of the transducer. As an example of the acoustic radiation power, nine acoustic transducers mounted to a rigid infinite baffle are considered in a theoretical model. Each piston's acoustic radiation consists of self- and mutual-radiation impedances. Total radiation impedances and acoustic radiation power of the transducers are extracted using on the theory of an equivalent electric circuit. The theoretical results reveal that acoustic radiation power of the transducer depends on the mutual coupling effects.
