There have been numerous studies on the enhancement of the noisy speech signal. In this paper, we propose a completely new speech enhancement scheme, that is, a filtering of a dissonant frequency (especially F# in each octave of the tempered scale) based on the fundamental frequency which is developed in frequency domain. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed enhancement scheme, subjective tests (MOS tests) were conducted. The subjective test results indicate that the proposed method provides a significant gain in audible improvement especially for speech contaminated by colored noise and speaking in a husky voice. Therefore when the filter is employed as a pre-filter for speech enhancement, the output speech quality and intelligibility is greatly enhanced.

Owing to technical advances in very large-scale integrated circuits (VLSI), high-speed digital signal processing (DSP) chips become fast enough to allow for real-time implementation of hearing aid algorithms in units small enough to be wearable. In this paper, we present a digital hearing aid processor (DHAP) chip built around a general-purpose 16-bit DSP core. The designed DHAP performs a nonlinear loudness correction of 8 octave frequency bands based on audiometric measurements. By employing a programmable DSP, the DHAP provides all the flexibility needed to implement audiological algorithms. In addition, the has a low power feature and $5.410\times5.720mm^2$ dimensions that fit for wearable devices.

In this paper, the synthesis procedufe of impedance matching network is presented for broad-band microwave amplifier design, whereby amplifier operating in the octave bandwidth is designed and fabricated in detail. The transfer function of the matching netowrks is synthesized by chebyshev approximation and element values for the networks of specified topology are calculatd for various MILs and ripples. After the transistor is modeled by negative-image device model, the synthesis procedure for matching networks is applied to broad-band amplifier design which has electrical performance of about 12dB gain in 4 to 8GHz range. Experimental results obtained from the fabricated amplifier are shown to approach the electrical performance designed in the given frequency range. Construction of the impedance matching networks by transfer function synthesis is very useful method for the design of broad-band microwave amplifiers.

In this study, development of new sound absorbent which is safety, economical and efficient with using recycled materials is tried for substitution of commercial sound absorbent. The sound absorbents, used in this investigation, were made of used paper or filters of cigarette butts. With the variation of the material densities, sound absorptions of materials were measured. The impedance tube method is used for measuring sound absorption coefficient of the new sound absorbent materials. The measured frequency range was 250Hz to 4000Hz in 1/3 octave band. The sound absorption coefficient of the commercial materials and that of the materials synthesized in the our laboratory show almost same value.

A comparison between theoretical and measured transfer function, which relates structure-borne noise source level to underwater radiated noise, of a naval ship is presented in this study. Transfer functions are obtained by dividing far field underwater noise by the value of structure borne noise source levels below machinery mounts. In prediction, statistical energy analysis of the whole ship structure is used to get vibration levels of wetted hull plates below water line. Then, far field radiated noise is calculated by summing up contributions from each plates using vibration levels and radiation efficiencies. And 1/3-octave band underwater sound pressure at the distance of 1 m away from the hull were measured to get experimental transfer functions. The two transfer functions are compared to show resonable agreements in spite of the subtle physical differences between each other.

The purpose of this study is to obtain the basic data of existing light-weight Drywall through the evaluation and analysis of the light-weight drywall in reverberation chamber and to improve sound insulation performance of drywalls. Sound transmission loss of the total 11 types were analyzed in each frequency a-third octave band and evaluated sound insulation performance for each frequency. From data by analysis and calculation, STC value plotted on STC contour. We found that the improved light-weight drywall specimens ⓑ, ⓒ and ⓖ were satisfied with the domestic standard of sound transmission loss.

In a field measurement, measurement errors are produced by measuring environments and systematic errors in the measurement procedure. Measurement errors can be expressed as a measurement uncertainty. In this study, the measurement uncertainty and various measuring factors are investigated in heavy-weight impact sounds. According to KS 2810-2, the model functions, which is the estimation of the maximum SPL measurement in each octave band frequency, are determined. From this estimation model, 3.53dB is shown in 63Hz. This level is caused by the sound field of the receiving room, which does not meet the diffusing field.

In this paper, the correlation between the vibration characteristics of the track components and the parameters affecting the vibration is analysed. To do it, the accelerations of each track component such as rails, sleepers and ballast are measured in Kyong-Bu high-speed railway lines. The RMS values of the measured data are calculated and the corrugation, the track irregularity and the pad stiffness are considered as the parameters in the viewpoint of track. By using the linear regression, the correlation coefficient is calculated to analyse the relationship. The parameter whose correlation coefficient is more than 0.7 is considered as the major one. Also, the 1/3 Octave analysis is calculated to analyse the dominant frequency band of the vibrations of the track components.
