공동주택단지 및 학교 및 근린시설의 경계방음벽으로 제시한 식생형 방음벽을 설계하고 소음감쇠성능실험을 실시하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 식생형 방음벽은 일정한 형태의 유닛을 방음벽 형태의 구조물에 걸이식으로 적층하여 구성된 것으로서, 유닛내부에는 식재 및 토양을 포함하고 있다. 이 방음벽의 음향적인 장점은 토양 및 식재를 이용한 흡음뿐만 아니라 확산형상의 방음벽에서 표면 확산으로 인해 음에너지가 분산되어 소음을 저감할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 먼저 1/10 축소모형 실험을 통해 소음감쇠성능에 가장 적합한 방음벽 유닛의 크기를 조사하였으며, 설계된 도면에 따라 1/2축척의 식생형 방음벽을 실제높이 2 m, 길이 5 m로 제작하여 소음감쇠실험을 진행하였다. 식물을 담을 수 있는 총 1,137개의 식생블록은 약 $10{\times}10{\times}9cm$ 크기로 합성목재를 활용해 제작하였으며 이 블록들을 방음벽에 설치하여 자립형 구조를 가진 식생형 방음벽을 완성하였다. 연구결과, 평면형 방음벽보다 블록식 방음벽이 약 7 dB 더 높은 삽입손실을 나타냈으며, 식생블록의 크기는 삽입손실효과가 큰 $20{\times}20cm$의 크기가 적정한 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, the phase noise of 900 MHz VCO is improved using modified strip line square ring resonator. In order to demonstrate the phase noise improvement of the proposed VCO, the same circuit was manufactured using shorted-circuit resonator. In condition of the same bias current, the phase noise of the proposed VCO with modified square ring resonator is suppressed by 7 dB as - 103 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset compared to the conventional VCO with short-circuit resonator. From the proposed VCO, we achieved output power of - 4.8 dBm, harmonics suppression of 16 dB, and tuning bandwidth of 100 MHz. The proposed VCO consumed 5 mA at 3 V, and its size is 1.2 cm ${\times}$ 1.0 cm.

This paper presents the analysis and design of an active electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter (AEF) for the common-mode (CM) noise reduction of switching power converters. The features of the several types of AEFs are discussed and compared in terms of implementation. The feed-forward AEF with a voltage-sensing and voltage-cancellation (VSVC) structure is implemented for an LLC resonant converter to replace a multiple-stage passive EMI filter and thereby reduce CM noise. The characteristics and performance of the VSVC-type AEF are investigated through theoretical and experimental works.

Common mode (CM) chokes are a crucial part in EMI filters for mitigating the electromagnetic interference (EMI) of switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) and for meeting electromagnetic compatibility standards. However, the parasitic capacitances of a CM choke deteriorate its high frequency filtering performance, which results in increases in the design cycle and cost of EMI filters. Therefore, this paper introduces a negative capacitance generated by a negative impedance converter (NIC) to cancel the influence of equivalent parallel capacitance (EPC). In this paper, based on a CM choke equivalent circuit, the EPCs of CM choke windings are accurately calculated by measuring their impedance. The negative capacitance is designed quantitatively and the EPC cancellation mechanisms are analyzed. The impedance of the CM choke in parallel with negative capacitances is tested and compared with the original CM choke using an impedance analyzer. Moreover, a CL type CM filter is added to a fabricated NIC prototype, and the insertion loss of the prototype is measured to verify the cancellation effect. The prototype is applied to a power converter to test the CM conducted noise. Both small signal and EMI measurement results show that the proposed technique can effectively cancel the EPCs and improve the CM filter's high frequency filtering performance.

We have developed a YBCO SQUID gradiometer system for the measurement of a very weak magnetic field in an unshielded environment. The system consists of a SQUID gradiometer sensor, low noise pre-amp, and FLL(fluxlocked loop) control electronics. The gradiometer sensors have been fabricated on STO bicrystal substrates, and exhibit a magnetic noise of 300 fT/${\surd}$ Hz/cm at 100 Hz. The overall magnetic field noise of the SQUID gradiometer system was about 10 pT/${\surd}$ Hz/cm at 10 Hz without any magnetic shield. The system demonstrated a high stability for a long time, and real-time measurement resolution ${\le}$ 100 pT/cm in the unshielded environments.

In this paper, we present wideband common-mode (CM) noise suppression using a vertical stepped impedance electromagnetic bandgap (VSI-EBG) structure for high-speed differential signals in multilayer printed circuit boards. This technique is an original design that enables us to apply the VSI-EBG structure to differential signals without sacrificing the differential characteristics. In addition, the analytical dispersion equations for the bandgap prediction of the CM propagation in the VSIEBG structure are extracted, and the closed-form expressions for the bandgap cutoff frequencies are derived. Based on the dispersion equations, the effects of the impedance ratio, the EBG patch length, and via inductances on the bandgap of the VSI-EBG structure for differential signals are thoroughly examined. The proposed dispersion equations are verified through agreement with the full-wave simulation results. It is experimentally demonstrated that the proposed VSI-EBG structure for differential signaling suppresses the CM noise in the wideband frequency range without degrading the differential characteristics.

PZT(30/70) thick film was fabricated by using 1,3 propanediol-based sol-gel method. Prepared film of pyroelectric property was investigated by Dynamic method of modulation frequency dependence. Pyroelectric coefficient was obtained about 5.0$\times$10$^{-8}$ C/$\textrm{cm}^2$.K. The figure of merits for voltage responsivity and specific detectivity were 3.4$\times$10$^{-11}$ C.cm/J and 5.9$\times$10$^{-9}$ C.cm/J, respectively, because of relative high-dielectric constant and high-pyroelectric coefficient. Voltage responsivity was increased at low modulation frequency and it was decreased at high modulation frequency. Voltage responsivity was maximum 1.84 V/W at 10 Hz. As Johnson noise is dominant, Noise voltage was increased nearly proportional to f$^{-1}$ 2/. Noise equivalent power and specific detectivity were 2.83$\times$10$^{-7}$ W/Hz$^{1}$2/ and 3.13$\times$10$^{5}$ cm.Hz$^{1}$2//W the same frequency at 80 Hz, respectively.

As is widely known, SPL measurement using sound level meter (SLM) is limited to higher than 30 dBA, because of the self-noise n(x) of condenser microphone (CM). The authors confirmed n(x) is composed of 3 kinds, each of which is stable enough under the condition -20 ~ +50 deg C to eliminate the influence of n(x) by subtracting its energy from the squared input signal in the integration process, as well as to develop new type of SLM with ultra-low SPL measuring function. This is so-called "0-dB SLM" since it enables to measure SPL down to around 0 dB-SPL. The RMS of n(x) is acquired and stored in ROM in advance, by placing CM in the supersilent space or by using dummy microphone with equivalent capacitance before the actual measurements.

In this paper, we present a miniaturized differential line (DL) using inductance-enhanced corrugated ground planes (LCGP) for effective common-mode (CM) noise suppression in high-speed packages and printed circuit boards. The LCGP-DL demonstrates the CM noise suppression in the frequency range from 2.09 GHz to 3.6 GHz. Furthermore, to achieve the same low cutoff frequency, the LCGP-DL accomplishes a remarkable 23.2% reduction in size compared to a reference DL.

치과 진료실에서 발생하는 소음원에 대한 소음의 특성을 파악하고 그에 따른 피해 가능성을 알아보기 위해 휴대용 소음기로 측정하여 검토한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 치과용 의료기기 소음측정 결과 단독측정에서는 고속 핸드피스가 가장 높았으며, 초음파 스케일러, 저속 핸드피스 순서로 낮게 나타났다. 단독측정 시 평균 소음도는 58~66 dB(A)를 보였으며, 복합측정 시 평균 소음도는 62~71 dB(A)를 보였다. 진료실 형태에 따른 개방형과 개실형의 소음측정 결과 개방형 진료실에서의 소음이 평균 1.9~3.2 dB(A) 더 높게 나타났다. 비진료 시와 진료 시의 소음측정 결과 초음파 스케일러와 고속 핸드피스의 소음에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 초음파 스케일러와 high volume aspirator을 함께 사용하였을 때 가장 높은 소음도를 보였으며, 진료 시 75.5 dB(A)로 비진료 시와 3.5 dB(A)의 소음차를 보이며 더 높게 나타났다. NR 곡선으로 진료 시 가장 높은 소음도를 보인 치석제거를 평가해본 결과 치석제거 시 NR-73~78로 ISO 소음기준중 일반작업장의 소음기준을 초과하는 수준이며 8 kHz의 고주파에서 피크치를 나타냈다. 진료 시 거리에 따른 소음을 측정한 결과 작업자와 가까운 30 cm 거리에서의 소음이 100 cm 거리에서의 소음보다 높은 패턴을 보였으며, 30 cm 거리에서 대상 치과 의료기기에서 발생하는 소음레벨은 79.8~80.6 dB(A)으로 장시간 폭로 시 청력 손실을 초래할 수 있는 수준이다. 두 거리의 차이로 5 dB(A) 이상의 소음 감쇠 효과를 확인하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 치과 치료 시 진료실 소음은 치과 의료기관 종사자에게 정신적, 육체적 피해를 줄 수 있는 정도이며, 본 연구결과를 통하여 얻어진 자료들이 기초가 되어 더 많은 치과 진료 시의 소음에 대한 특성이 파악된다면 직장환경의 질을 높이기 위한 체계적인 소음 감소 대책 수립이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.
