Since the amplitude of voiced fall off at about -20dB/decade, dynamic range is often compressed prior to spectral analysis so that details at weak, high frequencies may be visible. Preemphasizing the speech, either by differentiating the analog speech s$\sub$a(t) prior to A/D conversion or by differencing the discrete-time s(n)=s$\sub$a(nT), compensating for falloff at high frequencies. The most common form of preemphasis is y(n)=s(n)-As(n-1), where A typically lies between 0.9 and 1.0 and reflects the degree of pre-emphasis. In This paper, we proposed that A is adjusted at each time by measuring the slope of envelope in frequency domain.

An 8-bit 2-stage pipelined current mode A/D converter is designed with a new architecture, where the wideband track-and-hold amplifiers which have 2 integrators in parallel sample input signal twice per clock cycle. The conversion speed of the A-D converter is two times faster than that of conventional pipelined method. The converter is designed to be operated at the power supply voltage of 3.3V with the input dynamic range of 0-256$\mu$A. HSPICE simulation results show the performance of up to 55Msamples/s and power consumption of 150mW with the parameters of ISRC $1.5\mu$m BICMOS process. The chip area is 3${\times}4mm^{2}$.

Rational dynamic modeling and analysis method f3r complex structures are studied with special attention to slide way joints. For modeling of slide way joints, a general modeling technique is used by using the influence coefficients method which is applied to the conversion of detailed finite element model to the equivalent reduced joint model. The theoretical part of this method is illustrated and the method is applied to the structure with slide way joint. In this method, the non-linearity of the contact surfaces is considered within a proper range and the boundary effect of the joint model could be eliminated. The proposed method was applied to finite element modal analysis of a clamp jointed cantilever beam and slide way joints of the vertical type lathe. The method can also be used to other kinds of joint modeling. The results of these analysis were compared with those of Yoshimura models and rigid joint models, which demonstrated the practical applicability of the proposed method.

A new 8-bit single-slope ADC using analog RAMP generator with digitally controllable dynamic range has been proposed and simulated for column level or per-pixel CMOS image sensor application. The conversion gain of ADC can he controlled easily by using frequency divider with digitally controllable diviber ratio, coarse/fine RAMP with class-AB op-amp, resistor strings, decoder, comparator, and etc. The chip area and power consumption can be decreased by simplified analog circuits and passive components. Proposed frequency divider has been implemented and verified with 0.65um, 2-poly, 2-metal standard CMOS process. And the functional verification has been simulated and accomplished in a 0.35$\mu$m standard CMOS process.

Digital TV tuner for 8-VSB modulation was developed with satisfying the requirements of ATSC. Double frequency conversion and active tracking filter was used in order to suppress IF beat and image band, which results in reducing the interference between adjacent channels and multi-channels. The implemented digital TV tuner has excellent performance such as the wide dynamic range, good flatness in passing band, and low phase noise. The developed tuner is available to handle the digital and analogue television signal at the same time.

Since the amplitude of voiced fall off at about -20dB/decade, dynamic range is often compressed prior to spectral analysis so that details at weak, high frequencies may be visible. Preemphasizing the speech, either by differentiating the analog speech $s_a$(t) prior to A/D conversion or by differencing the discrete-time s(n)=$s_a$(nT), compensating for falloff at high frequencies. The most common form of preemphasis is y(n)=s(n)-As(n-1), where A typically lies between 0.9 and 1.0 and reflects the degree of pre-emphasis. In this paper, we proposed that A is adjusted at each time by measuring the slope of envelope in frequency domain.

Directly modulated fiber-optic links generally suffer higher link loss and larger signal distortion than externally modulated links. These result from the electron-photon conversion loss and laser modulation dynamics. As a method to overcome the drawbacks, we have experimentally demonstrated the RF performance of directly modulated, ultra-strong injection-locked gain-lever distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) lasers. The free-running DBR lasers exhibit an improved amplitude modulation efficiency of 12.4 dB under gain-lever modulation at the expense of linearity. By combining gain-lever modulation with ultra-strong optical injection locking, we can gain the benefits of both improved modulation efficiency from the gain-lever effect, plus improved linearity from injection locking. Using an injection ratio of R=11 dB, a 23.4-dB improvement in amplitude response and an 18-dB improvement in spurious-free dynamic range have been achieved.

Evaluating the impurity concentrations in semiconductor thin films using time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) is an effective technique. The mass interference between isotopes and matrix element in data interpretation makes the process complex. In this study, we have investigated the doping concentration of phosphorus in, phosphorus doped silicon thin film on glass using ToF-SIMS in the dynamic mode of operation. To overcome the mass interference between phosphorus and silicon isotopes, the quantitative analysis of counts to concentration conversion was done following two routes, standard relative sensitivity factor (RSF) and SIMetric software estimation. Phosphorus doped silicon thin film of 180 nm was grown on glass substrate using hot wire chemical vapor deposition technique for possible applications in optoelectronic devices. Using ToF-SIMS, the phosphorus-31 isotopes were detected in the range of 10¹~10⁴ counts. The silicon isotopes matrix element was measured from p-type silicon wafer from a separate measurement to avoid mass interference. For the both procedures, the phosphorus concentration versus depth profiles were plotted which agree with a percent difference of about 3% at 100 nm depth. The concentration of phosphorus in silicon was determined in the range of 10¹⁹~10²¹ atoms/cm³. The technique will be useful for estimating distributions of various dopants in the silicon thin film grown on glass using ToF-SIMS overcoming the mass interference between isotopes.

In this paper, Performance of 1MW OTEC system using R32 with varying seawater temperature range is studied. Steady state cycle is designed and its output and generation efficiency were 1,014kW and 2.72%, respectively. Compared to dynamic cycle, system performance and change during long term operation is studied. The simulation is performed by decreasing surface seawater temperature from $29^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$ with 20 minute of reaction time. Dynamic cycle with same condition applied to steady state cycle and it showed output and efficiency of 1,020kW and 2.75% respectively. Seawater temperature decreased from $29^{\circ}C$ and the vapor fraction of refrigerant decreased below 1 at $28^{\circ}C$. While the vapor fraction was above 1, the turbine output decreased by 0.017kW per second. After the seawater temperature reached $26.2^{\circ}C$, the turbine output decreased by 1.03kW per second. However, Driving the turbine below the saturation temperature caused the occurrence of surging and the influx of liquid refrigerant. When the liquid separator having a capacity of 1.0 m3 was used, the flow into the turbine was confirmed after 5 minutes from the first liquid refrigerant coming into the separator.

This paper evaluates the performance of an optic link in a frequency conversion based fiber-radio system. The proposed link structure simplifies a BS(base station) via making the MMW(millimeter wave) optical pilot tone generated in the CS(control station) be used in the uplink as well as in the downlink. To acquire the optical pilot tone, an EOM(electro-optic modulator) in the CS is biased in three different ways, i.e., MAB(maximum bias), MIB(minimum bias), QB(quadrature bias). We, depending on the biasing of the EOM, evaluate the link performances in two cases; one is for constant laser source power and the other for constant received DC optical power at a PD(photo detector). Based on the simulation results on the downlink CNR and the uplink SFDR(spurious free dynamic range), we finally deduce the effective EOM biasing for each case.
