A new controller for switching audio power amplifier with digital PWM input is proposed- Bi-directional Saw-tooth Error Correction (BSEC). This control method for high quality switching amplifier is based on a pulsed edge correction approach using PWM audio signal input as a reference of power switching digital to analog converter. The proposed controller has excellent features such as wide error correction range and no limitation on the modulation index. The controller is implemented in the half-bridge class D amplifier and the performance is verified through hardware experiments. It delivers 100W into 4${\Omega}$ load with less than 0.2% of total harmonic distortion (THD) all over operating range and an maximum efficiency of 82%.

본 논문에서는 텔레비전 수신기에서 채널 변경에 따른 음량 자동 보정 방법에 대해서 기술하고자 한다. 지금까지 텔레비전 수상기에서는 사용자가 방송 채널을 전환하는 경우 각 방송 채널마다 음량 레벨이 조금씩 다르다는 것을 느끼게 된다. 그러므로 이러한 채널 변경에 따른 음량 변화를 조정하기 위해 청취자가 리모컨으로 볼률을 조절하는 불편함을 줄이기 위해 자동으로 음량 변화를 보정하는 것이 요구된다. 본 논문은 채널 변경에 따른 음량 변화와 Dynamic Range 가 너무 큰 오디오 신호에 대해 자동으로 음량을 보정함으로써 청취자가 볼륨을 조절하는 불편함을 줄이는 자동 음량 보정 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

The Design and Optimization of a low-profile antenna for the Satellite Digital Audio Radio System(SDARS) using a Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm(NSGA) is presented. a fairly omni-directional elevation gain pattern over 60 degrees < q <60 degrees are obtained. The average value of the LCP gain pattern is approximately 2 dBic. The heights of the antennas are less than 0.251. The cross polarized signal level is approximately 12 dBic less than the co-polarized signal level.

A new high efficiency and low profile on-board DC/DC converter for digital car audio amplifier is proposed. The proposed converter shows the continuous input current, no DC excitation current of the transformer, the minimized electro-magnetic interference (EMI), no output inductor, and the low voltage stress of the secondary rectifier diodes. The 60W industrial sample of the proposed converter is implemented for digital car audio amplifier and the measured efficiency is $88.3\%$ at nominal input voltage.

Parametric stereo coding is a technique to efficiently code a stereo audio signal as a monaural signal plus small amount of parametric overhead to describe the stereo image. The stereo properties are analyzed, encoded, and reinstated in a decoder according to spatial psycho-acoustical principles. However, coding of multichannel audio signal using parametric stereo still requires considerable bit-rate. In this paper, enhanced parametric stereo coding for multichannel audio signal is proposed.

The rapid development of digital media and communication network urgently brings about the need of data certification technology to protect IPR (Intellectual property right). This paper proposed a new watermarking method for embedding owner's audio signal. Because this method uses an audio signal as a watermark to be embedded, it is very useful to claim the ownership aurally. And it has the advantage of restoring audio signal modified and especially removed by image removing attacks by applying our LBX(Linear Bit-expansion) interleaving. Three basic stages of our watermarking include: 1) Encode . analogue owner's audio signal by PCM and create new digital audio watermark, 2) Interleave an audio watermark by our LBX; and 3) Embed the interleaved audio watermark in the low frequency band on DTn (Discrete Haar Wavelet Transform) of image. The experimental results prove that this method is resistant to lossy JPEG compression as standard image compression and especially to cropping and rotation which remove a part of Image.

This paper presents the design method of current-mode signal processing for high speed and low power digital audio signal processing. The digital audio processor requires a digital signal processing such as fast Fourier transform (FFT), which has a problem of large power consumption according to the settled point number and high speed operation. Therefore, a current-mode signal processing with a switched Current (SI) circuit was employed to the digital audio signal processing because a limited battery life should be considered for a low power operation. However, current memory that construct a SI circuit has a problem called clock-feedthrough. In this paper, we examine the connection of dummy MOS that is the common solution of clock-feedthrough and are willing to calculate the relation of width between dummy MOS for a proposal of the design methodology for improvement of current memory. As a result of simulation, in case of that the width of memory MOS is 20um, ratio of input current and bias current is 0.3, the relation of width between switch MOS and dummy MOS is $W_{M4}=1.95W_{M3}+1.2$ for the width of switch MOS is 2~5um, it is $W_{M4}=0.92W_{M3}+6.3$ for the width of switch MOS is 5~10um. Then the defined relation of MOS transistors can be a useful design guidance for a high speed low power digital audio processor.

In this paper, a terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) multichannel audio broadcasting system based on spatial audio coding is presented. The proposed system provides realistic multichannel audio service via T-DMB with a small increase of data rate as well as backward compatibility with the conventional stereo-based T-DMB player. To reduce the data rate for additional multichannel audio signals, we compress the multichannel audio signals using the sound source location cue coding algorithm, which is an efficient parametric multichannel audio compression technique. For compatibility, we use the dependent property of an elementary stream descriptor, and this property should be ignored in a conventional T-DMB player. To verify the feasibility of the proposed system, we implement the T-DMB multichannel audio encoder and a prototype player. We perform a compatibility test using the T-DMB multichannel audio encoder and conventional T-DMB players. The test demonstrates that the proposed system is compatible with a conventional T-DMB player and that it can provide a promisingly rich audio service.

Due to the rapid development of Information and communication, the technology of multimedia presentation technology is evolving into the service that user can actively, realistically enjoy and play based on user's preference and taste not only for User's passive service. Especially, the industry related the realistic multimedia service that supports targeting Human emotion with the property of Human hearing is expected to be formed of the high value-added premium market. Audio technology is affected on human's emotion and the viewing environment around than video technology. Also the audio technology compared to video technology is a research part that appeals to human emotion and emphasize on psychological aspects. With this viewpoint, the development of intelligent and realistic audio technology needs highly specialty.
