Digital waveguide model is a general method that is used in physical modeling of musical instruments. Wave motion is analyzed by time or by space in digital waveguide model. Because sampling is made via time, it is general that musical instrument model is described by wave motion of time. In this paper, we synthesized the musical instrument sound by adding instrument body model to the spatial based string model. In this way, we could improve sound quality and process musical instrument model's tone control variables effectively. We explained about delay error that happens in string and body in space based sampling and showed method to process fractional delay using FD (Fractional Delay)filter. Finally, we explained the relation between tone quality and number of delays. And we also compared the result with time base digital waveguide model.

현재 우리가 사용하고 있는 대부분의 시스템들은 대용량의 데이터를 송수신하고 있다. 대용량의 데이터를 전송하는 방법에는 여러방법이 있으나 한정되어 있는 대역폭을 사용하여 전송하기 위한 방법으로는 고속 전송을 사용한다. 많은 양의 데이터를 고속으로 전송을 하다 보면 여러가기 원인으로 인해 발생하는 지연에 대한 보정이 어려워 지게 된다. 이런 문제를 해결할 수 있는 방법중에 한가지가 바로 FDE(Fractional Delay Element)이다. FDE 는 1Clock 이하의 지연을 주는 소자로써 클럭 단위의 보정의 문제점을 해결한 것이다. 시스템 클럭을 고속으로 동작시키기에는 소자의 문제점이 있으나 FDE를 사용하면 시스템 클럭을 변화 없이 지연 보정을 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 VHDL 코딩과 FPGA 를 사용하여 FDE 를 구현 하였다. FDE 의 중요한 역할을 하는 FDF(Fractional Delay Filter)를 VHDL로 코딩을 하였다.

An ultrawide bandpass filter with sharp rejection and wider stopband is designed and implemented using multilayer ceramic configuration. The proposed filter is composed of a broadside coupled structure and a ring type filter with an embedded stripline stub. The measured results show that the fractional bandwidth and upper stopband of the proposed filter are 106 % and better than -30 dB, respectively. The insertion loss is less than 1 dB, and group delay is less than 0.3 ns in the passband. In addition, ring and broadside coupled gap structures are characterized and compared to the proposed structure.

In order to enhance the rejection performance of the UWB bandpass filter based on the Composite Right- and Left-Handed Transmission-line(CRLH-TL) Metamaterial cell, we propose the lowpass filtering concept that fits into the design objectives : Keeping metamaterial property and miniaturization. So the bandpass filter itself is made far less than a quarter-wavelength and a pair of symmetric comprises lowpass filtering blocks are placed before and after the center CRLH filter which comprises tile interdigitated coupled lines and short-circuited stob. The design result will show the size of 'guided wavelength/8', the fractional bandwidth over 100%, the insertion loss much less than 1 dB, a flat Group-Delay and a good return loss performance, as expected.

This paper presents a new design method of the Ultra-Wide-Band BandPass Filter using the CRLH-TL(Composite Right- and Left-Handed Transmission-line) having the Metamaterials' properties. Instead of the periodic type or many cells of the CRLH-TL, only the unit cell is used to miniaturize the target component, which can not be realized by the conventional quarter guided-wavelength resonator-based filters. Particularly, the strong coupling essential to the Ultra Wide Band is enabled by the interdigital coupled lines between the grounded stubs. The proposed design scheme is validated by the electromagnetic simulation and measurement of the fabricated filter which shows the total size of 'the guided-wavelength/9.4', the 100 % fractional bandwidth for the UWB, the insertion loss of less than 1 dB and the flat group-delay.

This paper proposes a new miniaturization method for a parallel coupled line filter with enhanced bandwidth characteristics. A previous method incorporated several advantages, such as size reduction through the use of only a small number of capacitors, in addition to grounding, suppression of harmonic characteristics, and improved skirt characteristics for the parallel coupled line filter, which is conventional in the field of RE filters due to its design and fabrication simplicity. However, the previous method also has disadvantages related to the bandwidth shrinkage of the miniaturized filters. In this paper, the amount of bandwidth shrinkage is analyzed in terms of the relationship between the loaded Q(quality factor) and the group delay of a resonator. Moreover, the reduction in the bandwidth is solved by a design with new design equations. To show the validity of the proposed method, a hairpin filter with a center frequency of 5.2 GHz and an fractional bandwidth(FBW) of 10% was scaled down to half its original dimension by the proposed method with the enhanced bandwidth characteristics. The measured result shows a high level of agreement with theoretical results.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated a ultra-wideband(UWB) bandpass filter with a good performance of a stopband, and a notched band in passband. The transformed equivalent circuit of the highpass filter was realized by distributed element. A wide-passband with 3-dB fractional bandwidth of more than 100 % was achieved by using optimum response of the HPF. For improving lower and upper stopband characteristic, a cross coupling between feed lines was employed, which was analyzed by desegmentation technique. In order to reject interference of Wireless LAN and Hyper LAN(5.15~5.825 GHz), the narrow notched(rejection) band was realized by a spurline. The fabricated BPF indicated the passband from 3.1 to 10.55 GHz and the flat group delay of less than 0.94 ns over the entire passband except the rejection band. The filter shown sharp attenuation both inside and outside the band and notched band from 5.2 to 6.12 GHz.
