The damping modification factor (DMF) is used to modify the 5%-damped response spectrum to produce spectral values that correspond to other necessary damping ratios for seismic design. The DMF has been the subject of numerous studies, and it has been discovered that seismological parameters like magnitude and distance can have an impact on it. However, DMF formulations incorporating these seismological parameters cannot be directly applied to seismic design because these parameters are not specified in the present seismic codes. The goal of this study is to develop a formulation for the DMF that can be directly applied in seismic design and that takes the effects of magnitude, distance, and site conditions into account. To achieve this goal, 16660 ground motions with magnitudes ranging from 4 to 9 and epicentral distances ranging from 10 to 200 km are used to systematically study the effects of magnitude, distance, and site conditions on the DMF. Furthermore, according to the knowledge that magnitude and distance affect the DMF primarily by changing the spectral shape, a spectral shape factor is adopted to reflect influences of magnitude and distance, and a new formulation for the DMF incorporating the spectral shape factor is developed. In comparison to the current formulations, the proposed formulation provides a more accurate prediction of the DMF and can be employed directly in seismic design.

이 논문에서는 M-FSK(frequency shift keying) 변조신호를 자동으로 분류하는데 필요한 효율적인 첨두 검출 방법을 제안하였다. 다른 디지털 변조신호와 FSK 신호는 진폭 스펙트럼의 특성을 이용하여 분류할 수 있다. FSK 신호의 진폭 스펙트럼은 다른 디지털 변조신호와 다르게 변조차수와 동일한 수의 첨두를 나타낸다. 일반적으로 신호의 첨두를 검출하기 위해서는 임계치가 필요한데, 변조인식과 같이 사전에 신호에 대한 정보가 없는 경우 임계치를 정하기 어려운 점이 있다. 이 논문에서는 진폭 스펙트럼의 히스토그램을 이용하여 자동으로 간단하게 임계치를 결정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 모의실험 결과 적은 수의 표본과 잡음이 많은 환경에서도 매우 우수한 분류확률을 나타내었다.

This paper focuses on extracting formants from transfer function, derived from linear prediction analysis of speech signal. The second derivative of the log magnitude spectrum of the transfer function, the first and third derivatives of the phase spectrum of the transfer function in the z-plane are discussed. Their resolutions of detecting formants are analyzed and some comparisons are given. Theoretical analyses and experimental results show that the third derivative of the phase spectrum decays more rapidly around the formant locations than the first derivative of the phase spectrum and the second derivative of the log magnitude spectrum. Compared with the second derivative of the log spectrum and the first derivative of the phase spectrum, the third derivative of the phase spectrum has higher resolution in frequency domain and provides more accurate formant extraction.

Performances of spectrum-sliced channels are strongly affected by their relative intensity noise (RIN). We use polarization-independent optical modulators (PIOMs) for spectrum-sliced channels to suppress their RIN. The PIOM driven by a high sinusoidal voltage signal evenly redistributes optical frequency components in the spectral domain and reduces the RIN. It can be used at a broadband light source (BLS) output to produce spectrum-sliced channels having lower RIN values. Also, it can be used for each spectrum-sliced channel within each optical network unit (ONU). In our experiment, where 12.5-GHz-spaced spectrum-sliced channels are used in 1-GbE speed, the use of PIOM at the BLS output reduces the bit error rate (BER) of the spectrum-sliced channel by more than an order of magnitude. The use of PIOM within the ONU reduces the BER by approximately 3 orders of magnitude.

본 논문에서는 디지털 M/W 전송 채널을 비선택성 레일리 페이딩 채널로 모델링하고 직교 주파수 분할 다중화(OFDM ; Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 기법을 적용한 디지털 M/W 전송 시스템의 전력 스펙트럼 크기를 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석하였다. 성능 분석 결과, AWGN 환경에서는 고정된 대역폭 내에서 전력 스펙트럼 크기에 큰 널링(ing)이 발생하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 비선택성 레일리 페이딩 채널 환경에서는 AWGN 환경보다 전력 스펙트럼 크기가 상대적으로 작아짐을 알 수 있었고, 게다가 반송파 주파수와 이동 차량 속도가 높아지면(도플러 주파수가 커지면) 전력 스펙트럼 크기가 더욱 더 작아짐을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents a Fourier based algorithm for estimating the parameters of the low frequency oscillating modes. The proposed methods estimates various parameters(frequency, damping factor, mode magnitude, phase) by fitting Fourier spectrum and phase with a damped exponential cosine function. Dominant frequency is selected by taking frequency corresponding to the peak spectrum, and damping factor is estimated using the left/right spectra of Fourier spectrum. In addition, mode magnitude is calculated by the normalized peak spectrum, and phase is estimated from spectrum phase. Also, we introduce an accuracy index in order to determine the accuracy of the estimated parameters, and the index is calculated using the deviations of the peak spectrum and the left/right spectra. The parameter estimation methods proposed in this paper include very simple arithmetical processes, so the algorithms are simple and the calculation speed is very fast. The proposed methods are applied to test functions with two dominant modes. The results show that the proposed methods are highly applicable to low frequency parameter estimation.

The design response spectrum presented in the seismic design standard reflects the characteristics of the tectonic environment at a site. However, since the design response spectrum does not represent the ground motion with a specific earthquake magnitude or distance, input ground motions for response history analysis need to be selected reasonably. It is appropriate to use observed ground motions recorded in Korea for the seismic design. However, recently recorded ground motions in the Gyeongju (2016) or Pohang (2017) earthquakes are not compatible with the design response spectrum. Therefore, it is necessary to convert the recorded ground motion in Korea to a model similar to the design response spectrum. In this study, several approaches to adjust the spectral acceleration level at each period range were tested. These are the intrinsic and scattering attenuation considering the earthquake environment, magnitude, distance change by the green function method, and a rupture propagation direction's directivity effect. Using these variables, the amplification ratio for the representative natural period was regressed. Finally, the optimum condition compatible with the design response spectrum was suggested, and the validation was performed by converting the recorded ground motion.

We propose an efficient method for content-based ultrasound image retrieval using magnitude frequency spectra and implement a retrieval system based on the proposed method. The target images are ultrasound images of adult organs. Trained users often acquire such images so that images of the same kind of organs are very similar, although their locations may not exactly coincide. Therefore, the magnitude frequency spectrum, which has a translation-invariant property, is used as a feature. All the object images in the image DB is pre-classified in the same kind organs. Experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to some well-known conventional methods.

In this study, to estimate the combination of earthquake magnitude ($M_w$) and distance (R) corresponding to the design spectrum defined in Korean Building Code (KBC) 2016, the response spectra predicted from the attenuation relationships with the variation of $M_w$ (5.0~7.0) and R (10~30km) are compared with the design spectrum in KBC 2016. Four attenuation relationships, which were developed based on local site characteristics and seismological parameters in Southern Korea and Eastern North America (ENA), are used. As a result, the scenario ground motions represented by the combinations of $M_w$ and R corresponding to the design spectrum for Seoul defined in KBC 2016 are estimated as (1) when R =10 km, $M_w=6.2{\sim}6.7$; (2) when R = 15 km, $M_w=6.5{\sim}6.9$; and (3) when R = 20 km, $M_w=6.7{\sim}7.1$.

This paper deals with a new parameter for voice detection which is used for many areas of speech engineering such as speech synthesis, speech recognition and speech coding. CV (Coefficient of Variation) of speech spectrum as well as other feature parameters is used for the detection of speech. CV is calculated only in the specific range of speech spectrum. Average magnitude and spectral magnitude are also employed to improve the performance of detector. From the experimental results the proposed voice detector outperformed the conventional energy-based detector in the sense of error measurements.
