One of the main objectives of noise control act is to define and ensure application and respect of noise exposure limits. Most European countries have prepared a legal framework for noise limits either by national laws, ordinances or municipal by-laws. This paper presents the current European standards.

Nowadays, vehicle becoming necessity is increasing gradually and is main cause of environmental problem. The current automobile noise measurement test method such as ISO 362 which have been used many countries contribute seriously to enforce the regulation of the noise rigidly and actively study vehicle's noise, using that method. However, the amendment of ISO 362 was completed under the international agreement due to the changes in vehicle's techniques and road conditions. In this study, the difference between the current ISO 362(or ECE R51) and new ISO 362(or new ECE R51) is estimated by the test using the practical car producing domestically because the Korean manufacturer have to be interested in new test method.

The Ieodo Ocean Research Station(IORS) is an integrated meteorological and oceanographic observation base which was constructed on the Ieodo underwater rock located at a distance of about 150 km to the south-west of the Mara-do, the southernmost island in Korea. The underwater ambient noise level observed at the IORS was similar to the results of the shallow water surrounding the Korean Peninsula (Choi et al. 2003) and was higher than that of deep ocean (Wenz 1962). The wind dependence of ambient noise was dominant at frequencies of a few kHz. The surface current dependence of ambient noise showed good correlation with the ambient noise in the frequency of 10 kHz. Especially, the shrimp sound was estimated through investigations of waveform and spectrum and its main acoustic energy was about 40 dB larger than ambient noise level at 5 kHz.

The present article is concerned with the application of an electrochemical noise (EN) monitoring technique to analyze the initiation and propagation of Pb-assisted stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of an Alloy 600 material in a simulated environment of a steam generator (SG) sludge pile at high temperatures. A typical increase of electrochemical current noise (ECN) and electrochemical potential noise (EPN) was frequently recorded from the EN measurement in a caustic solution with such impurities as PbO and CuO, indicating that there are localized corrosion events occurring. With the aid of microscopic and spectral analyses, the EN data involving information on such stochastic processes as uniform corrosion and the initiation and propagation of SCC, were analyzed based on a stochastic theory.

In this paper, we present a new impulsive noise detection technique. To remove the impulse noise without detail loss, only corrupted pixels must be filtered. In order to identify the corrupted pixels, a new impulse detector based on rank and value estimations of the current pixel is proposed. Based on the rank and value estimations of the current pixel, the new proposed method provides excellent statistics for detecting an impulse noise while reducing the probability of detecting image details as impulses. The proposed detection is efficient and can be used with any noise removal filter. Simulation results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms many other well-known detection techniques in terms of image restoration and noise detection.

The evaluation of the noise for the an existing engine was carried out to improve the current noise level. The applied techniques were 1m air-borne noise, combustion noise analysis, torsional analysis at the front pulley and sound pressure intensity. In addition, the evaluation of the possibility to the noise reduction by means of wrapping the parts was performed to propose the detailed information in engine design. In view of the obtained results, the following countermeasures were recommended to reduce the current noise level through the above methods. Furthermore, in order to assess the influence of combustion noise on the overall engine noise, the noise test was also performed by the change of intake air temperature up to 5$0^{\circ}C$ in steps of 1$0^{\circ}C$. Finally, the fixed design specifications to reduce the engine noise will be decided in consideration of the test data for proto type engine.

In this paper, we propose two LC voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) that improve both phase noise and tuning range. With both 1/f induced low-frequency noise and low-frequency thermal noise around DC or around harmonics suppressed significantly by the employment of a current-current negative feedback (CCNF) loop, the phase noise in the CCNF LC VCO has been improved by about 10 dB at 6 MHz offset compared to the conventional LC VCO. The phase noise of the CCNF VCO was measured as -112 dBc/Hz at 6 MHz offset from 5.5 GHz carrier frequency. Also, we present a bandwidth-enhanced LC VCO whose tuning range has been increased about 250 % by connecting the varactor to the bases of the cross-coupled pair. The phase noise of the bandwidth-enhanced LC-tank VCO has been improved by about 6 dB at 6 MHz offset compared to the conventional LC VCO. The phase noise reduction has been achieved because the DC-decoupling capacitor Cc prevents the output common-mode level from modulating the varactor bias point, and the signal power increases in the LC-tank resonator. The bandwidth-enhanced LC VCO represents a 12 % bandwidth and phase noise of -108 dBc/Hz at 6 MHz offset.

We have surrounded undesired living noises in our life. One of biggest noises coming out of range hood during cooking in the kitchen. A range hood is one of the most important appliances in the kitchen because it ventilates polluted air out during cooking, and maintains air quality in the kitchen. But current kitchen range hoods bring up some issues; First, the range hoods consume massive amount of standby power not in use condition. Second, current models have designed manual fan operating system with sudden onset of noise with starting. In this paper, we propose an auto control system entire processes from air ventilation to noise reduction. Our system is consist of three parts (Eco-sensors pack, Main Controller and Active Noise Controller); Eco-sensors pack detects air pollution of kitchen areas and sends the detection values to Main Controller. Main Controller determines operation of range hood by detected values. Active Noise Controller is located inside of the range hood. It received starting signals from Main Controller which elicits degrees of polluted air condition and fan operating speed from 1 to 3. Once Active Noise Controller detected the signals, it runs a ventilating fan until new value from Main Controller becomes 0. while the range hood works, A noise cancellation algorithm inside of Active Noise Controller become activated to reduce levels of noise. As a result, the proposed system clearly shows reduction in power consumption include standby power and decreases in levels of noise.

전자 시스템이 소형화, 이동성의 요구에 따라 전력 변환의 필요성이 계속 증가하고 있다. 또한 전력 변환에는 전력 효율과 함께 전력 변환시스템의 소형화를 위해 적용하는 스위칭에 의한 잡음으로부터 시스템 안정성이 보장되어야 한다. 따라서 전력 변환시 스위칭 잡음을 감소시킬 수 있는 대책이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 DC/DC Buck Converter회로를 구성하였고, reference plane을 갖는 4층 PCB 회로 구조에서 부품의 배치를 변경할 경우 발생하는 스위칭 잡음특성을 비교 분석하였다. 또한, Reference Plane을 제거한 양면 PCB회로 구조에서 부품 배치를 달리하였을 경우 스위칭 잡음 특성을 각각 시뮬레이션으로 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 4층 PCB회로 구조에서는 Current return path에 따라 Radiated Emission 특성이 12dB, Conducted Emission 특성이 7~8dB 감소됨을 확인하였다. 또한 양면 PCB회로 구조에서는 Conducted Emission이 20~25dB 감소됨을 확인하였다. 이로써 전력 변환 회로를 설계할 경우 Current return path의 구성에 따라 잡음 특성을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

일반적으로 p-i-n Photodiode 수신기의 광신호처리 전단증폭기의 설계에서 공통소스 입력단을 사용하는 트랜스임피던스(Transimpedance)구조로 설계한다. 본 논문에서는 공통게이트 입력단을 사용하는 전류모드 광전단증폭기를 설계하였다. 이러한 광전단증폭기로 사용되는 전류모드 공통게이트 트랜스임피던스 증폭기의 특징은 높은 이득과 높은 대역폭을 동시에 얻을 수 있다는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 광전단 증폭기 설계에서 잡음 최적화를 이용하여 설계과정을 자동화 시킴으로써 보다 단순하게 트랜스임피던스 증폭기를 설계하는 기법을 제시하였다. 그리고 커패시턴스 피킹(Capacitive Peaking) 기술을 사용하여 대역폭을 더욱 증가시킬 수 있다. 제안하는 기법을 사용하여 설계된 전류모드 광전단 증폭기에 캐패시턴스 피킹을 적용하여 0.35um CMOS 공정을 사용할 경우 대역폭이 1.57GHz이고, 트랜스임피던스 이득이 2.34k, 입력 잡음전류가 470nA이고 입력 잡음 전류의 주파수밀도(spectral density)가 6.13pA/ 인 저 잡음의 고속 전류모드 트랜스임피던스 광전단증폭기를 설계 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안된 광전단증폭기의 전력소비는 3.3V 공급전압에서16.84mW이었다.
