In energy injection resonant AC-AC converters, due to the low frequency effect of the AC input envelope and the low energy injection losses requirement, the constant and steady control of the high frequency AC output envelope is still a problem that has not been solved very well. With the aid of system modeling, this paper analyzes the mechanism of the envelope pit on the resonant AC current. The computing methods for the critical damping point, the falling time and the bottom value of the envelope pit are presented as well. Furthermore, this paper concludes the stability precondition of the system AC output. Accordingly, an optimal control method for the AC output envelope is put forward based on the envelope prediction model. This control method can predict system responses dynamically under different series of control decisions. In addition, this control method can select best series of control decisions to make the AC output envelope stable and constant. Simulation and experimental results for a contactless power transfer system verify the control method.

A low-power low-cost polar transmitter for EDGE is designed in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS. A differential delta-sigma modulator (DSM) tunes a three-terminal voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) to perform RF phase modulation, where the VCO tuning curve is digitally pre-compensated for high linearity and the carrier frequency is calibrated by a dual-mode low-power frequency-locked loop (FLL). A digital intermediate-frequency (IF) pulse-width5 modulator (PWM) drives a complementary power-switch followed by an LC filter to achieve envelope modulation with high efficiency. The proposed transmitter with 9mW power dissipation relaxes the time alignment between the phase and envelope modulations, and achieves an error vector magnitude (EVM) of 4% and phase noise of -123dBc/Hz at 400kHz offset frequency.

This paper describes a new algorithm for encoding spectral shape and envelope in the generic mode of G.718 super-wide band (SWB). In the G.718 SWB coder, generic mode coding and sinusoidal enhancement are used for the quantization of modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT)-based parameters in the high frequency band. In the generic mode, the high frequency band is divided into sub-bands and for every sub-band the most similar match with the selected similarity criteria is searched from the coded and envelope normalized wideband content. In order to improve the quantization scheme in high frequency region of speech/audio signals, the modified generic mode by the improvement of the generic mode in G.718 SWB is proposed. In the proposed generic mode, perceptual vector quantization of spectral envelopes and the resolution increase for spectral copy are used. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated in terms of objective quality. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm increases the quality of sounds significantly.

A new discrete-amplitude pulse width modulation (DAPWM) scheme for a high-efficiency linear power amplifier is proposed. A radio frequency (RF) input signal is divided into an envelope and a phase modulated carrier. The low-frequency envelope is modulated so that it can be represented by a pulse whose area is proportional to its amplitude. The modulated pulse has at least two different pulse amplitude levels in order that the duty ratios of the pulse are kept large for small input. Then, an RF pulse train is generated by mixing the modulated envelope with the phase modulated carrier. The RF pulse train is amplified by a switching-mode power amplifier, and the original RF input signal is restored by a band pass filter. Because duty ratios of the RF pulse train are kept large in spite of a small input envelope, the DAPWM technique can reduce loss from harmonic components. Furthermore, it reduces filtering efforts required to suppress harmonic components. Simulations show that the overall efficiency of the pulsed power amplifier with DAPWM is about 60.3% for a mobile WiMax signal. This is approximately a 73% increase compared to a pulsed power amplifier with PWM.

An analytical model of internal pressure response of a leaky and quasi-statically flexible building with a dominant opening is provided by including the effect of the envelope external pressure fluctuations on the roof, in addition to the fluctuating external pressure at the dominant opening. Wind tunnel experiments involving a flexible roof and different building porosities were carried out to validate the analytical predictions. While the effect of envelope flexibility is shown to lower the Helmholtz frequency of the building volume-opening combination, the lowering of the resonant peak in the internal and net roof pressure coefficient spectra is attributed to the increased damping in the system due to inherent background leakage and envelope flexibility. The extent of the damping effects of "skin" flexibility and background leakage in moderating the internal and net pressure response under high wind conditions is quantified using the linearized admittance functions developed. Analytical examples provided for different combinations of background leakage and envelope flexibility show that alleviation of internal and net pressure fluctuations due to these factors by as much as 40 and 15% respectively is possible compared to that for a nominally sealed rigid building of the same internal volume and opening size.

Helmet Mounted Display(HMD) has great advantages on the navigation and mission symbologies for the pilot's forward looking display and, therefore, has been remarkably drawing attention as the up coming display of the next generation aircraft. The essential technology to process the Line of Sight-Foward(LOS-F) data in real-time is to estimate exact helmet situation and position. In this paper, we research a acoustic helmet tracking technique. For the reason that mechanical acoustic noises might interfere with Helmet Tracking System(HTS) and unnecessary acoustic noises are inevitable when using acoustic technique, this approach has not been adapted. In order to overcome this problem. We propose that acoustic wave of which the wave length is longer than audio frequency and, especially, we used beating signal envelope which is composed of two close high frequency.

In this paper, we considered multiple faults detection on a coaxial cable through Time-Frequency Domain Reflectometry (TFDR). It is well known that TFDR has high resolution accuracy for detecting and estimating the fault detection on a coaxial cable. This approach was based on time-frequency signal analysis and utilized a chirp signal multiplied by a Gaussian time envelope. The Gaussian envelope provided time localization, while the chirp allowed one to excite the system interest. We carried out experiments with 10C-FBT coaxial cable having either one or two faults. The result shows TFDR can be extended to detect multiple faults with high accuracy on a coaxial cable.

다채널 오디오 코딩 시스템을 평가함에 있어서 음색 요소뿐만 아니라 공간감 요소 역시 큰 중요성을 갖는다. 이러한 이유로 양이 시간차 왜곡 (Interaural Time Difference Distortion, ITDDist), 양이 크기차 왜곡 (Interaural Level Difference Distortion, ILDDist), 양이 상관관계 왜곡 (Interaural Cross Correlation Distortion, IACCDist)과 같은 공간감 요소를 추가하여 기존의 음질 객관 평가 권고안인 ITU-R Rec. BS. 1387-1을 다채널 오디오 시스템에 적용하기 위한 시도가 있었다. 이 다채널 오디오 시스템을 위한 확장 모델에서는 Duplex 이론에 따라, 양이 시간차 왜곡은 1.5kHz 이하의 저주파 영역에 대해서만 계산되었으며, 양이 크기차 왜곡은 2.5kHz 이상의 고주파 영역에 대해서만 계산되었다. 하지만 고주파 영역에 있어서 포락선의 양이 시간차는 공간감 인지에 있어서, 특히 음상 정위에 있어서 중요한 역할을 한다. 이러한 고주파 영역 포락선의 양이 시간차 공간감 인지에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 분석하기 위해 해당 인자를 계산하는 방법이 본 논문에서 소개된다. 또한, 이렇게 계산된 고주파 영역 포락선의 양이 시간차는 다채널 오디오의 주관평가 결과와 높은 상관관계를 가짐을 확인한다.

본 논문에서는 주파수 영역에서 협대역 신호를 광대역으로 확장하는 새로운 인공 대역 확장 기술을 제안한다. 제안한 기술은 협대역 신호를 여기 신호와 스펙트럼 포락선 성분으로 분리하고, 주파수 영역에서 각각 독립적인 방법으로 확장한다. 여기 신호는 저대역의 하모닉 구조가 고대역에서 유지되도록 확장하고, 스펙트럼 포락선은 부대역별 에너지를 기반으로 NMF방법으로 확장한다. 마지막으로 시간 축에서 프레임 사이의 상관관계를 기반으로 스펙트럼 위상을 결정하여 최종 광대역 신호를 생성한다. 주관적 청취 평가를 통하여 제안한 방법으로 대역 확장된 신호가 원 협대역 신호보다 음질이 향상된 것을 확인하였다.
