In this paper, center frequency down slift of ultrasonic echo signals which for the measurements of frequency dependent attenuation in the biological tissue are estimated. Center frequency down shift of echo-signals are estimated after signal spectrum analysis of whole echo-signals. In case of signal spectrums are simple, estimation of down shift frequency is very simple and in case of complicate spectrum, estimation of down shift frequency is depend on spectral shape. In case of unable to estimate, frequency dependence of medium is nonlinear(n) 1), in which upper shift of spectrums are presented. In case of unable to estimate, spectrum analysis are performed at local position. At consquence, we know that spectral dispersions are caused complicately by biological tissue layer.

In the speech analysis, to estimate formant center frequencies exactly is very important. If we know formant frequencies, we can expect which pronunciation is uttered. Generally, the magnitude of first formant frequency in voiced speech is 10dB more than other formant frequency. So, the shape of voice signal in time domain is affected by mainly first formant. Therefore we can get first formant frequency roughly by using ZCR(Zero Cross Rate). In this paper, we proposed the improvement method to get first formant frequency by using ZCR. We did autocorrelation before getting ZCR. This procedure makes voice signal smooth so, first formant in voice signal is emphasized. As a result of this method, we got more exact ZCR and first formant frequency. Conventional method of formant estimate is done in frequency domain but proposed method is done in time domain. So, this is very simple.

WPAN에서는 해상도가 높은 UWB 신호를 사용하여 노드 간의 거리를 추정하고 이로부터 이동노드의 위치를 추정한다. 비동기 거리추정 방식은 고정노드와 이동노드 간에 비동기 상태에서 노드간의 거리를 추정하는 바 각 노드 국부클럭의 주파수 차이에 의한 영향이 심각하다. 고속 UWB에서는 각 노드 국부클럭의 주파수 차이에 의한 영향을 감소시키기 위하여 비동기 TWR 방식을 연속으로 수행하고, 상대주파수 편이 보상방안을 제시하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고속 UWB의 상대주파수 편이 보상 수식을 완성하고, 이를 적용하는데 대한 문제점을 분석하고, 정확한 주파수편이 보상 방안을 제안한다. 거리추정 방식은 원래의 TWR, 상대주파수 편이 보상 및 정확한 주파수 편이 보상 방식에 의한 TWR에 대하여 시뮬레이션으로 성능을 분석하였다. 상대주파수편이 방식과 정확한 주파수편이 방식은 잡음이 없는 상태에서는 유사한 성능을 나타내었다. 제안된 정확한 주파수 편이 방식은 SNR이 열악한 환경에서 상대주파수 편이 보상 방식보다 정확한 거리를 추정하는 것을 확인하였다.

Modal parameters are the main dynamic characteristics of bridge. This study aims to propose an innovative route to estimate the modal parameters for bridges by using a parked vehicle in which mode shapes with high accuracy and spatial resolution are identified by frequency measurement. Based on the theory of dynamic modification and modal identification, the mathematical formulation between the parked mass induced frequency variation and the modal parameters of a bridge is derived. Then this mathematical formulation is extended to a parked vehicle-bridge system. The arithmetic and processes for estimating the modal parameters based on the identified frequency variation of the vehicle-bridge systems when the vehicle locates at sequentially arranged positions are presented. Finally the proposed method is applied to several simulated bridges of different types. The results indicate that it can estimate the modal parameters with high accuracy and efficiency.

본 논문에서는 파일럿으로 발생하는 파일럿 오버헤드를 감소시키면서 협대역 간섭신호 혹은 재머에 대응할 수 있는 새로운 SC-FDE (single carrier frequency domain equalization) 구조를 제안한다. 기존의 SC-FDE 구조는 협대역 재머가 존재할 때 시간영역 채널 추정이 어려워 수신기의 성능이 저하되는 단점이 있다. 또한 매 SC-FDE마다 채널추정을 위한 파일럿을 전송하여 스펙트럼 효율이 저하되는 문제도 있다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안된 구조는 시간영역 채널 추정 없이 곧바로 주파수 영역 채널 추정을 수행할 수 있도록 설계된다. 또한 파일럿 오버헤드를 감소시키기 위해서 두 개의 파일럿 사이에 여러 개의 SC-FDE 데이터 블록을 전송하고, 두 개의 파일럿을 이용한 선형 보간 채널 추정을 통해 각 데이터 블록에서의 채널 특성을 찾는다. 이렇게 구한 채널 추정값을 사용하여 주파수 영역 등화를 수행하면 협대역 재머가 있는 상황에서도 재머 제거와 함께 안정적인 등화가 가능하다. 제안하는 구조의 성능은 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 확인한다.

본 연구에서는 백색 가우시안 잡음이 부가되는 환경 (AWGN)에서 측정 신호로부터 주파수와 진폭의 시간적 변동 특성을 추적하는 문제를 고려한다. 확장 칼만 필터는 여러 가지 응용분야에서 이용되고 있으며, 특히 시간적으로 변동하는 주파수를 추적하는 문제에도 응용되어 왔다. 기존의 확장 칼만 필터 주파수 추적기는 시간에 대한 신호 진폭의 변화폭이 적은 경우에 대해 유도되었거나 진폭의 시간적 변화폭이 큰 경우에는 부가적인 진폭 추적기가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 시간에 따를 진폭의 변화폭이 상대적으로 큰 경우에 시변 주파수의 추적 성능을 높이기 위해 주파수와 진폭을 동시에 추적하는 확장 칼만 필터 주파수-진폭 추적기를 제안하고 수치모의 실험과 실제 실험을 통하여 그 성능을 확인한다.

The cable tension plays an important role in the construction, assessment and long-term health monitoring of cable structures. The cable vibration equation is nonlinear if cable sag and bending stiffness are included. The engineering implementation of a vibration-based cable tension evaluation is mostly carried out by the simple taut string theory. However, the simple theory may cause unacceptable errors in many applications since the cable sag and bending stiffness are ignored. From the practical point of view, it is necessary to have empirical formulas if they are simple and yet accurate. Based on the solutions by means of energy method and fitting the exact solutions of cable vibration equations where the cable sag and bending stiffness are respectively taken into account, the empirical formulas are proposed in the paper to estimate cable tension based on the cable fundamental frequency only. The applicability of the proposed formulas is verified by comparing the results with those reported in the literatures and with the experimental results carried out on the stay cables in the laboratory. The proposed formulas are straightforward and they are convenient for practical engineers to fast estimate the cable tension by the cable fundamental frequency.

In this paper, we propose an image processing based time-frequency domain reflectometry(TFDR) in order to estimate the fault location of a cable. The Wigner-Ville distribution is used for analysis in both the time domain and the frequency domain when the conventional TFDR estimates the fault location in a cable. However, the Winger-Ville distribution is a bi-linear function, and hence the cross-term is occurred. The conventional TFDR cannot estimate the accurate fault location due to the cross-term in case the fault location is close to the position where the reference signal is applied to the cable. The proposed method can reduce the cross-term effectively using binarization and morphological image processing, and can estimate the fault location more accurately using the template matching based cross correlation compared to the conventional TFDR. To prove the performance of the proposed method, the actual experiments are carried out in some cases.

DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) is one of the most widely used method to estimate the phasor of a relaying signal. The harmonics are eliminated by the DFT. However, high frequency components, except for harmonics, are not removed and cause an error in DFT-based phasor estimation process. This paper suggests high frequency noise reduction method by using a newly designed low-pass filter to estimate a signal phasor. When selecting a stop-band cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter, high frequency components generated by faults are considered. To reduce the phasor estimation delay caused by a low-pass filter, this paper proposes a low-pass filter whose settling time is reduced. An adverse effect of high frequency noise on DFT-based phasor estimation is reduced. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, signals which are collected under a fault condition at a 345[kV] transmission system modeled by EMTP-RV are used.

The contraction and expansion noise of a refrigerator are investigated, and some effective methods are proposed to reduce the level and occurrence frequency of noise. First, the noise of a refrigerator is measured to estimate the frequency spectrum and occurrence frequency of noise. Second, a sound visualization was conducted using an acoustic camera to determine the location of the noise source. From the results, it was observed that the internal part mainly producing noise was the third shelf in the freezer room. A method to estimate the acceleration on the location of the noise source is introduced to analyze the contraction and expansion noise precisely and accommodate experimental convenience. Noise reduction methods such as the replacement of the existing shelf with glass shelves, adoption of rail slides, and increase of roughness on the contact surface of the shelf are proposed and tested.
