The need for an active exhaust moise controller has been growing as an reinforcement of exhaust noise regulation, high power output and improvement of average fuel economy. In this study, for development of this active exhaust noise controller, the implementation of a composition of realtime control algorithm for active exhaust noise control and the construction of simulator for realtime control algorithm for active exhaust noise control has been investigated. Also, in order to implement active exhaust noise control with this simulator, the feasibility model for control of vehicle exhaust noise control is suggested.

Noises are defined as unwanted sound and invoke the physical harm and unconvenience. The higher the noise level is, the more damage peoples have. Low frequency noise is less harmful than high frequency one. In case of train, noises inside of train which is isolated from outer circumstances reduce the convenience of passenger very much. This paper reviewed the noise standard of train for urban subway and investigated the main transformer as the main noise source of train and suggested the method to diminish the noise resulted from main transformer of train and compared the measured results of before and after the improvement of main transformer.

High performance $Si_{0.8}Ge_{0.2}$ heterostructure metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) were fabricated using well-controlled delta-doping of boron and $Si_{0.8}Ge_{0.2}$/Si heterostructure epitaxal layers grown by reduced pressure chemical vapor deposition. In this paper, we report 1/f noise characteristics of the SiGe pMOSFETs measured under various bias conditions of the gate and drain voltages changing in linear operation regions. From the noise spectral density, we found that the gate and drain voltage dependence of the noise represented same features, as usually scaled with $f^{-1}$ However, 1/f noise was found to be much lower in the device with boron delta-doped layer, by a factor of $10^{-1}_10^{-2}$ in comparison with the device fabricated without delta-doped layer. 1/f noise property of delta-doped device looks important because the device may replace bipolar transistors most commonly embedded in high-frequency oscillator circuits.

The space between tire and wheel guard acts as a path for tire pattern noise transmission. In this study, acoustic phenomenon occurring in the tire-wheel guard space is investigated using acoustic mode analysis and visualization of the sound pressure distribution over the wheel guard surface. We introduced a cavity over the wheel guard surface to reduce the tire pattern noise, where the cavity acts as an acoustic damper. The interior noise was reduced by 2 dB(A), and the noise control measures treated in this study may provide an efficient method to improve interior sound quality without increasing cost and weight at the final stage of the vehicle development.

Power flow analysis(PFA) is introduced for solving the noise and vibration analysis of system structures in medium-to-high frequency ranges. The vibration analysis software, $PFADS_{C++}$ R4 based on power flow finite element method(PFFEM) and the noise prediction software, $NASPFA_{C++}$ R1 based on power flow boundary element method(PFBEM) are developed. In this paper, the coupled PFFE/PFBE method is used to investigate the vibration and radiated noise of the rotary compressor. PFFEM is employed to analyze the vibrational responses of the rotary compressor, and PFBEM is applied to analyze the radiation noise around rotary compressor. The vibrational energy of the structure is used as an acoustic intensity boundary condition of PFBEM. Numerical simulations are presented for the rotary compressor, and reliable results have been obtained.

An experimental study on frequency characteristics of the microphone array covered with Kevlar sheet was conducted in the closed test section. Microphones that were flush-mounted in the wall of wind tunnel were subjected to very high flow noise resulting from the turbulence in the wall boundary layer. This noise interference by the boundary layer was referred as 'a microphone self-noise' and various approaches were studied to reduce this interference. Recessed microphone array with high tensioned cover was one of the good approaches to reduce this self-noise. But, the array cover could cause an unexpected interference to the measuring results. In this paper the frequency characteristics of the microphone array with Kevlar cover was experimentally studied. The white noise was used as a reference noise source. Three kinds of tensions for the Kevlar cover were tested and those results were compared with the test results without the Kevlar cover. The gap effect between the cover and microphone head was also tested to find out the proper position of microphone in the array module. Test results show that the mid-tension and 10mm gap was the best choice in the tested cases.

A Q-band pHEMT image-rejection low-noise amplifier (IR-LNA) is presented using inter-stage tunable resonators. The inter-stage L-C resonators can maximize an image rejection by functioning as inter-stage matching circuits at an operating frequency ($F_{OP}$) and short circuits at an image frequency ($F_{IM}$). In addition, it also brings more wideband image rejection than conventional notch filters. Moreover, tunable varactors in L-C resonators not only compensate for the mismatch of an image frequency induced by the process variation or model error but can also change the image frequency according to a required RF frequency. The implemented pHEMT IR-LNA shows 54.3 dB maximum image rejection ratio (IRR). By changing the varactor bias, the image frequency shifts from 27 GHz to 37 GHz with over 40 dB IRR, a 19.1 dB to 17.6 dB peak gain, and 3.2 dB to 4.3 dB noise figure. To the best of the authors' knowledge, it shows the highest IRR and $F_{IM}/F_{OP}$ of the reported millimeter/quasi-millimeter wave IR-LNAs.

According to the trends of construction of large size vessel with high power the natural frequencies of the bending modes of propeller blades have been lower than the past. Therefore, it is expected that the noise and vibration problems of the marine propeller are frequently occurred. As main issue of the propeller noise and vibration problem, the cavitation noise and singing noise due to the flow induced excitation of the bending modes of propeller blade in the high frequency range has been studied by the hydrodynamic researchers in the view point of the excitation force reduction. In this paper, the vibration mode characteristics of propeller with a large diameter in very large vessel are investigated by the vibration analysis of the finite element method using MSC/Nastran and the vibration measurement by the impact test on the propeller blade. According to the results, the natural frequencies of various blade bending modes in water entrained condition could be estimated from the natural frequencies taken by the measurement and free vibration analysis in the dry condition, and it could be estimated how the high frequency noise such as singing is generated from the blade bending modes.
