To increase therapeutic efficiency and biological safety, it is important to precision control of acoustic output for therapeutic ultrasound equipment. In this paper, the electro-acoustic radiation conductance, one of electroacoustic characteristics of therapeutic ultrasound equipment, was measured by the radiation force balance method according to IEC 61161 standards and the acoustic output was estimated using the electro-acoustic radiation conductance. The estimation of acoustic output was conducted to continuous wave mode and pulse wave mode of duty cycle between 20% and 80%. The differences between prediction values and measurement results are within 5% of measurement uncertainty, which is a reasonably good agreement. The results show that acoustic output controlled by electro-acoustic radiation conductance was found to be an effective method.

The paper proposes a new multilevel variable output voltage AC/DC Converter for power supply of power amplifiers used in underwater acoustic sensors. The proposed multilevel variable output voltage AC/DC Converter is composed of two parts. One as the input section is the high efficiency phase-shifted PWM full bridge DC-DC converter to get multiport power sources. The other as the output section is composed of two flying-capacitor 3-level DC-DC converters and a diode bridge circuit to get fast-response and multilevel variable output voltage for an envelope amplifier. Also the paper suggests the detailed circuit topology and design guideline of multilevel variable output voltage AC/DC converter. It also proposes the power balanced control method between 3-level converters and the voltage balanced algorithm for flying capacitors. Its characteristics should be verified by the detailed simulation results. It is anticipated that the proposed converter will be used very well for power amplifiers used in underwater acoustic sensors.

An acoustic feedback canceller has some problems that are difficult to remove the acoustic feedback through acoustic feedback path. In this paper, a new method of acoustic feedback cancellation scheme is proposed using spectral subtraction. Microphone input signals are subtracted by estimated feedback signals which are estimated by Wiener filter using the correlation between microphone input signals and output signals of receiver.

A fundamental study for developing a fault diagnosis system of a pump is performed by using neural network. Acoustic signals were obtained and converted to frequency domain for normal products and artificially deformed products. The neural network model used in this study was 3-layer type composed of input, hidden, and output layer. The normalized amplitudes at the multiples of real driving frequency were chosen as units of input layer. And the codes of pump malfunctions were selected as units of output layer. Various sets of teach signals made from original data by eliminating some random cases were used in the training. The average errors were approximately proportional to the number of untaught data. Neural network trained by acoustic signals can detect malfunction or diagnose fault of a given machine from the results.

능동 소나 송신시스템은 전기신호를 증폭하여 출력해주는 송신기와 증폭된 전기신호를 음향신호로 변환해주는 수중 음향 트랜스듀서로 구성된다. 일반적으로 송신기 출력 특성은 부하 임피던스에 의존적이며 송신기 부하인 수중 음향 트랜스듀서는 구동 시 전기적 임피던스가 주파수에 따라 크게 변화하는 특성을 갖는다. 이러한 가변 임피던스 조건에서는 능동 소나 송신시스템의 출력이 불안정해질 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 능동 소나 송신시스템에서 수중음향 트랜스듀서의 가변 임피던스 조건에서도 안정적인 송신 신호를 전송하기 위한 소나 송신기의 설계 및 제어 기법을 제안하였다. 수중 음향 트랜스듀서의 전기적 임피던스 특성은 실험적 방법으로 분석하였고, 소나 송신기는 단상 풀브릿지 인버터, LC 필터와 정합회로로 구성하였다. 실시간으로 부하 특성이 변하는 Linear Frequency Modulation(LFM) 신호를 송신하면서 송신기와 트랜스듀서를 보호하고 안정적으로 출력 전압 특성을 확보할 수 있는 소나 송신기의 설계 및 출력 제어 기법을 제안하였으며, 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.

The fabrication of Langevin type vibrators producing relatively high sonic and ultrasonic energy is described. The dependence of the acoustic output and the frequency characteristics on the thickness of the steel plates and the pressure at the ceramics are investigated. As results, the acoustic output of Langevin type vibrators are relatively high, and the resonant frequency is decreassed by thickening the steel plates and lowering the pressure at the ceramics. Using these results, sonic and ultrasonic vibrator whose resonant frequency is determined can be designed.

탄도형 체외 충격파 치료기의 출력 에너지를 측정하는 Dry Test Bench(DTB)의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위해, 상용 탄도형 충격파 치료기에 대해 Laser Doppler Vibrometer(LDV)로 측정된 충격파의 음향 에너지와 비교했다. 실험 결과, DTB로 측정된 역학적 에너지는, 동일한 출력 설정에서, 5 % 이내의 변동성을 보이며, 치료기의 전 출력 설정 범위에서 LDV로 측정된 충격파의 음향 에너지와 선형적인 상관성(adj. R² = 0.991)을 확인했다. 두 측정 방법의 상관성과, LDV을 이용하여 공기 및 수중에서 측정된 충격파 음향 에너지의 상관성(adj. R² = 0.995)을 통합하면, DTB 측정으로부터 수중에서 발생된 충격파의 energy flux density를 평균 7.85 % 오차로 추정된다. DTB는 치료기의 출력에너지에 대한 정보만 제공하기 때문에, IEC61846 및 IEC63045에서 요구하는 다양한 충격파의 음향 출력을 시험하는 도구로 적합하지 않다. 그러나 측정 원리가 단순하고 사용이 용이한 DTB는 제조사 및 사용자가 탄도형 Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy(ESWT) 치료기의 성능을 관리하는 목적으로 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

It has been resulted that Lagrange multiplier method with statistical approach was superior to traditional harmonic balance method in identifying the nonlinear loudspeaker parameters when output signals were contaminated with Gaussian random noise. We have known that the displacement-dependent characteristic values of nonlinear parameters identified by traditional harmonic balance method were estimated less than original values by the increase of output noise and the stiffness coefficients were very sensitive to output noise. Also, by the sensitivity analysis we have verified that the harmonic distortions in acoustic radiation was mainly due to nonlinearity of force factor caused by uneven magnetic fields and that reducing the nonlinearity of damping coefficients were very effective for improving second harmonic distrotion of acoustic radiation.
