피치 혹은 기본 주파수는 음성 신호의 주요 특성 인자이며 음성 부호화, 음성인식, 화자인식 등의 다양한 음성 관련 응용에 활용된다. 본 논문에서는 기본 주파수의 역수인 음성의 피치 주기를 추정하기 위해서 음성 신호의 변곡점을 이용한다. 변곡점은 국소적인 최대값, 최소값 혹은 신호의 기울기가 변하는 지점으로 정의된다. 음성 신호는 저역통과 필터로 먼저 전처리되어 고주파 성분이 제거된다. 이를 통해 불필요한 변곡점들이 제거되며, 피치 주기 추정에 유용한 국소적인 최대값만을 변곡점 검출법을 이용하여 추출한다. 얻어진 변곡점 간의 시간 간격을 측정하여 피치 주기를 추정하며, 그 역수로 기본 주파수 추정치를 얻는다. 기존의 피치 추정 방법은 음성이 국소적으로 시불변이라는 가정하에 음성을 블록 단위로 처리하여 블록당 피치 주기를 구하지만, 제안된 방법은 음성을 샘플 단위로 처리하여 변곡점을 검출하며, 그 결과 피치 주기를 시간 경과에 따라 얻게 되어 음성의 시변성이 반영된 기본 주파수 추정치를 얻는다. 컴퓨터 모의실험으로 기본 주파수 추정기로서 제안된 방법의 유용성을 볼 수 있다.

Unsteady flow characteristics and associated blade tonal noise of a cross-flow fan are predicted by a computational method. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are time-accurately solved for obtaining the pressure fluctuations between the rotating blades and the stabilizer, and sound pressure is predicted using Curie's equation. The computed fan performance is favorably compared with experimental data, and also indicates that the performance is not significantly altered by the random pitch effect at ${\phi}>0.4$. In the present study, the narrow-band noise characteristics of three impellers with a uniform and two random Pitch (type-A and-B) blades are compared by the SPL (Sound Pressure Level) spectra, and their frequency modulation characteristics of the BPF (Blade Passing Frequency) noise are also discussed.

Relaxed Static Stability (RSS) concept has been applied to improve aerodynamic performance of modern version supersonic jet fighter aircraft. The T-50 advanced supersonic trainer employs the RSS concept in order to improve the aerodynamic performance. And the flight control system stabilizes the unstable aircraft and provides adequate handling qualities. The T-50 longitudinal control laws employ a proportional-plus-integral type controller based on a dynamic inversion method. The longitudinal dynamic modes consist of short period with high frequency and phugoid mode with low frequency. The design goal of longitudinal control law is optimization of short period damping ratio and frequency using Lower Order Equivalent System (LOES) complying the requirement of MIL-F-8785C. This paper addresses phugoid mode characteristics such as damping ratio and natural frequency that is affected by the nonlinear control laws such as angle of attack limiter, auto pitch attitude command system and autopilot of pitch attitude hold.

The tire is considered as one of the Important noise sources having an influence on vehicle's performance. The Pattern noise of a tire is the transmission sound of airborne noise. On smooth asphalt road, Pattern noise is amplified with the velocity. In recent, the study on the reduction of Pattern noise is energetically processed. Pattern noise is strongly related with pitch sequence. To reduce the pattern noise, tire's designer has to randomize the sequence of pitch. The FFT is a traditional method to evaluate the level of the randomization of the pitch sequence, but gives no information on time-varying, instantaneous frequency. In the study, we found that Time-Frequency transform is a useful method to non-stationary signal such as tire noise.

In this paper an application of centralized pitch angle controller for fixed speed wind turbines based wind farm to mitigate load frequency fluctuation is presented. Reference signal for the pitch angle of each wind turbine is calculated by using proposed centralized control system based on wind speed information. The wind farm in the model system is connected to a multi machine power system which is composed of 4 synchronous generators and a load. Simulation analyses have been carried out to investigate the performance of the controller using real wind speed data. It is concluded that the load frequency of the system can be controlled smoothly.

This research treated development of real time pitch tracer for training of musical tune of speech signal and pre-processing and post-processing technics were proposed to get higher accuracy in extraction of pitch. Autocorrelation Function was used to get pitch frequency from 64Hz to 980Hz in real time. Half Rectifier method and Envelop extraction method as a pre-processing was used to get higher accuracy in pitch detection, and improved results were obtained on noised speech signal. Post-processing method using periodicity of Autocorrelation was proposed to get higher accuracy in the high frequency region.

This study was designed to examine comfort levels of pitch and loudness with target matching and their effects on electroglottographic (EGG) and acoustic measures. Twelve speakers, six males and six females, were instructed to produce /a/ sustained vowel for three seconds at a comfortable pitch and loudness level without any instruction and with a target matching procedure of either a certain f0 or SPL separately with visual and auditory feedback. The range of pitch for females and males were presented by progressing up and down randomly at intervals of 5Hz from 150 Hz to 310 Hz (total 33 frequency targets) and from 85 Hz to 190 Hz (total 22 frequency targets), respectively. The loudness levels were 65, 75, 85, 95 dB (total of four intensity targets) for both males and females. Subjective estimations of comfortable levels were obtained using a 10-point equal-appearing interval rating scale following each phonation. The results showed that males and females demonstrated similar trends in loudness levels with greatest comfort at 75 dB, whereas pitch comfort ratings showed a greater variability with females having a wider range with target matching. In the comfort levels of individuals, most male and female speakers rated higher comfort at soft, rather than loud phonations. On the other hand, most male speakers perceived highest comfort levels below the comfort pitch levels they phonated under natural conditions. Higher frequency ranges, however, were perceived to be more comfortable than those of natural condition in most female speakers, although the comfortable pitch levels in spontaneous phonations were within the comfort level ranges determined by targeted phonations. When comparing acoustic (%jitter, %shimmer, SNR) and EGG measures (CQ%) between spontaneous comfortable phonations and targeted phonations produced by the same subject at similar f0 and intensity, no significant differences were observed (p>0.05). Thus, target matching procedures may be considered a compatible and alternative method to reduce the variability of comfortable pitch and loudness levels by eliciting consistent comfortable phonations.

본 연구에서는 NACA 0012 에어포일을 사용하여 히브와 피치 진동운동의 주파수가 다른 경우에 대하여 피치진동운동의 진폭에 에어포일의 비정상 공력 특성에 미치는 영향을 수치적으로 연구했다. 양력계수는 주파수비가 1.0인 경우 피치진동운동의 진폭이 30°와 20°인 경우 양력계수 값이 크지 않았으나 10°인 경우 양력계수값이 크게 증가했다. 주파수비가 0.5인 경우 양력계수값은 전체적으로 주파수비가 1.0인 경우보다 큰 값을 가졌으며, 진폭이 감소할수록 양력이 크게 증가하였다. 항력계수는 주파수비가 1.0인 경우 전체적으로 추력이 크게 발생하였으며 진폭이 감소할수록 추력의 크기가 감소하였다. 주파수비가 0.5인 경우 피치진동운동의 진폭이 30°인 경우 항력이 발생하였으나 진폭이 10°인 경우 추력이 발생하였다. 향후 본 연구를 확장하여 에어포일의 히브진동운동의 진폭변화에 따른 비정상 공력 특성 변화를 연구할 계획이다.

A pitch detector is an essential component in a variety of speech processing systems. Besides providing valuable insights into the nature of the exciation source for speech production, the pitch contour of an utterance is useful for recognizing speakers, aids-to-the handicapped, and is required in almost all speech analysis-synthesis system. Because of the importance of the pitch detection, a wide variety algorithms for pitch detection have been proposed in speech procesing literature. Thus, in this paper we discuss th evarious type of pitch detection algorithms which have been proposed until now. Then we provide th eperformance measurements for seven pitch detection algorithms.
