We develop a secret key generation scheme using phase estimation in ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless fading channels. Based on the reciprocity theorem, two terminals extract the phase of the channel as a common random source to generate secret bits. Moreover, we study the secret key rate by a pair of nodes observing correlated sources and communicating to achieve secret key agreement over public communication channels. As our main results, we establish a more practical upper bound from Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) and compare it with a universally theoretical upper bound on the shared maximum key rate from mutual information of correlated random sources. Derivation and numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the bound. Simulation studies are also provided to validate feasibility and efficiency of the proposed scheme.

This paper describes a calculation method of source level of a ship transient noise, which is one of the important elements for the ship detection. Aim of transient noise measurements is to evaluate of acoustic energy due to singular occurrence, which is therefore defined as non-periodic and short termed events like an attack periscope, a rudder and a torpedo door. In generally, in the case of randomly spaced impulse, the spectrum becomes a broadband random noise with no distinctive pattern. Therefore, frequency analysis is not particularly revealing for type of signal. In the paper, it is performed in time domain to analyze a transient noise. However, a source level of transient noise is required an investigation for multiple frequency band. So, in order to calculate a source level of transient noise, a design of exponential weighting function, convolution, band pass filtering, peak detection, root mean square, and parameter compensation are applied. The effectiveness of this calculation scheme is studied through computer simulations and a sea test. Furthermore, an application of the method is applied in a real case.

I present an analysis of the long-term evolution of the fluxes of six active galactic nuclei (AGN) - 0923+392, 3C 111, 3C 273, 3C 345, 3C 454.3, and 3C 84 - in the frequency range 80 - 267 GHz using archival calibration data of the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer. Our dataset spans a long timeline of ~14 years with 974 - 3027 flux measurements per source. We find strong (factors ~2-8) flux variability on timescales of years for all sources. The flux density distributions of five out of six sources show clear signatures of bi- or even multimodality. Our sources show mostly steep (alpha~0.5-1), variable spectral indices that indicate outflow dominated emission; the variability is most probably due to optical depth variations. The power spectra globally correspond to red-noise spectra with five sources being located between the cases of white and flicker noise and one source (3C 111) being closer to the case of random walk noise. For three sources the low-frequency ends of their power spectra appear to be upscaled in spectral power by factors ~2-3 with respect to the overall powerlaws. We conclude that the source emission cannot be described by uniform stochastic emission processes; instead, a distinction of "quiescent" and (maybe multiple) "flare" states of the source emission appears to be necessary.

In this paper, The Next Generation High Speed Railway inverter system using Hybrid Random Pulse Width Modulation (Hybrid RPWM) is proposed to reduce electromagnetic noise. To verify the validity of study, simulation results of the Next Generation High Speed Railway Inverter system using the proposed method was compared with the system using conventional method. A simulation program is developed using Matlab/Simulink. The results show that the voltage and current harmonics of the Next Generation High Speed Railway Inverter system using Hybrid RPWM significantly decrease and spread into wide band area.

In this article, spatial filtering procedures with application to spherical acoustical holography are discussed. Planar and cylindrical holography are the most widely used amongst the various nearfield acoustical holography techniques. However, when the geometry of a source is similar to a sphere, spherical holography may yield better results than other types of holography since there are no errors due to truncation of the sound field in the spherical case. Spatial filtering affects the accuracy of spherical acoustical holography critically, especially in the case of backward projection. Thus spatial filtering is essential for successful application of spherical holography. In the present work, various filtering methods were evaluated in simulations made using sound pressure fields of various types and with different levels of random spatial noise. It was found that a procedure based on eliminating spherical harmonic coefficients that contribute insignificantly to the total sound power of the source gave the best results on average of the different procedures considered here. Spherical holography procedures were also verified experimentally. Reliable results were obtained using the power filtering algorithm. Thus it was concluded that spherical holography combined with power filtering may prove to be a useful tool for noise source identification.

Before some experiments were carried out with analog bandpass filter which used for filtering the noise included in sound source signal. And this filter was constituted by condenser, register and operational amplifier. Hut these elements made the phase characteristics to differentiate in each sensing channel and cause a little of measurement error. We made new measurement system that was substituted digital filter for the analog filter in order to develop the optimal system which could find the time delay between each sensors with high accuracy. This paper describes the new system's constitution and the function of each parts. Specially three digital filters were designed and applied to the digital signal processing Part. And a series of experiments were carried out with the source＇s distance 9.53meters and the random bearing interval within the limits of $0^{\circ}$ ~ $180^{\circ}$. As a result, we have recognized that the accuracy of measurements were differentiated by the methods what kind of digital filter were adopted. And we have confirmed the facts that IIR LPF was suitable for sound source's bearing measurement and FIR LPF reduced the range measurement error.

We proposed and demonstrated a new scheme for subtracting the source excess noise from the output of the fiber-optic gyroscope. Unlike the previous methods, this scheme has an advantage of not requiring a delaying fiber for source noise detection and can be simply applied to fiber gyroscope operating at the proper frequency. By usmg this scheme. the proper frequency component of the source excess noise was subtracted from the gyroscope output. As a result, we obtained the reduction of noise by 12 dB (electrical) which was measured from the noise floor spectrum in the fiber gyroscope modulated at the proper frequency. We also obtarned !be random walk coefficient of thc gyro output reduced by a factor of 3.5. f 3.5.

A recently published nuclear forensics methodology for source discrimination of separated weapons-grade plutonium utilizes intra-element isotope ratios and a maximum likelihood formulation to identify the most likely source reactor-type, fuel burnup and time since irradiation of unknown material. Sensitivity studies performed here on the effects of random measurement error and the uncertainty in intra-element isotope ratio values show that different intra-element isotope ratios have disproportionate contributions to the determination of the reactor parameters. The methodology is robust to individual errors in measured intra-element isotope ratio values and even more so for uniform systematic errors due to competing effects on the predictions from the selected intra-element isotope ratios suite. For a unique sample-model pair, simulation uncertainties of up to 28% are acceptable without impeding successful source-reactor discrimination. However, for a generic sample with multiple plausible sources within the reactor library, uncertainties of 7% or less may be required. The results confirm the critical role of accurate reactor core physics, fuel burnup simulations and experimental measurements in the proposed methodology where increased simulation uncertainty is found to significantly affect the capability to discriminate between the reactors in the library.

We studied the Drain-Induced-Barrier-Lowering (DIBL) effect by different drain engineering. One other drain engineering is symmetric source-drain n-channel MOSFETs (SSD NMOSs), the other drain engineering is asymmetric source-drain n-channel MOSFETs (ASD NMOSs). Devices were fabricated using state of art 40 nm dynamic-random-access-memory (DRAM) technology. These devices have different modes which are deep drain junction mode in SSD NMOSs and shallow drain junction mode in ASD NMOSs. The shallow drain junction mode means that drain is only Lightly-Doped-Drain (LDD). The deep drain junction mode means that drain have same process with source. The threshold voltage gap between low drain voltage ($V_D$=0.05V) and high drain voltage ($V_D$=3V) is 0.088V in shallow drain junction mode and 0.615V in deep drain junction mode at $0.16{\mu}m$ of gate length. The DIBL coefficients are 26.5 mV/V in shallow drain junction mode and 205.7 mV/V in deep drain junction mode. These experimental results present that DIBL effect is higher in deep drain junction mode than shallow drain junction mode. These results are caused that ASD NMOSs have low drain doping level and low lateral electric field.

To find the location of a random noise source present in the three-dimensional space is required at least four microphones. Using four microphones distributed in a three-dimensional space, noise source imaging technique was applied and evaluated on their performance. To compensate resolution problem which comes from both the position of the sensor array is fixed and the sampling frequency is low, up-sampling technique and interpolation function were applied. Five different interpolation methods were applied such as zero-padding, zero-order hold, first-order hold, spline function, and random signal padding. The up-sampling rate were chosen by two, four, eight times, and counting up 16 times. As a result, it was possible to more accurately estimate the position of the noise source according to the higher of the up-sampling rate. It also found that the first-order hold and the spline function's performance were slightly falling relative to other methods.
