This paper investigated the effects of frequency band limitation on perceptual characteristics of Korean consonants. Monosyllabic speech (144 syllables of CV type, 56 syllables of VC type, 8 syllables of V type) produced by two announcers were low- and high-pass filtered with cutoff frequencies ranging from 300 to 5000 Hz. Six listeners with normal hearing performed perception test by types of filter and cutoff frequencies. We reported phoneme recognition rates and types of perception error of band-limited Korean consonants to examine how frequency distortion in the process of speech transmission affect listener's perception. The results showed that recognition rates varied with the following factors: position in a syllable, manner of articulation, place of articulation, and phonation types. Consonants in the final position were stronger to the frequency band limitation than those in the initial position. Fricatives and Affricates are stronger than stops. Fortis consonants were less stronger than their lenis or aspirated counterparts. Types of perception error also varied depending on such factors as consonant's place of articulation: In case of bilabial stops, they were perceived as alveolar stops with while in cases of alveolar and velar stops, there were changes in phonation types without any change in the place of articulation.

In this paper, we propose efficient design and construction of an infrared wide angle optical system with low distortion utilizing a high resolution detector for automobile application. The operational convenience and the recognition ability have been improved significantly by applying the high resolution uncooled thermal detector with wide angle optical design. The active ahtermalization mechanism is implemented so that the adjustment of the optical component of the system is to be made automatically according to the temperature change by motorized control. The modulation transfer function (MTF) is about 50% at the Nyquist frequency close the diffraction limit. The distortion is less than 5% at the edge field. As a result, a high-resolution uncooled thermal optical system with wide field of view (FOV) is assembled, aligned and its performance is tested successfully.

원격탐사 분야에서 고해상도의 멀티스펙트럴 영상은 위성센서의 기술적인 제약 때문에 직접적으로 취득하기 어렵다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위하여 다양한 위성영상 융합 기법이 제안되어졌다. 그러나, 대부분의 영상융합기법들은 원 멀티스펙트럴 영상의 분광정보를 왜곡시키거나 고해상도 흑백영상의 공간해상도에 비하여 융합영상의 공간해상도가 저하되는 문제점을 지닌다. 최근 들어 융합영상의 분광왜곡을 최소화시키면 서 공간해상도를 효율적으로 증가시킬 수 있는 공간상관도 기반의 하이브리드 융합 기법이 제안되었다. 본 연구에서는 하이브리드 융합기법에 다양한 공간상관도 추출 식을 적용하여 보고 이에 따른 분광/공간정보 왜곡의 양을 비교 평가하였다. 실험 결과 라플라시안 필터를 이용한 하이브리드 융합 기법이 다른 고주파 정보 추출 기법에 비하여 하이브리드 융합 기법에 효과적으로 적용할 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 고출력 증폭기(HPA: high-power amplifier)를 사용하는 OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템에서의 비선형 왜곡이 수신단에 미치는 영향에 대해서 분석한다. 메모리 없는 Volterra 시스템으로 모델링 되는 고출력 증폭기는 OFDM 신호를 비선형적으로 왜곡시키므로 각 부채널에서의 OFDM 심볼은 1차의 곱셈 왜곡과 고차의 가산성 비선형 왜곡을 포함하게 된다. 이 비선형 왜곡항은 현재의 부채널에 영향을 미치는 모든 다른 부채널들의 harmonic왜곡과 intermodulation 왜곡으로 구성되어 있기 때문에 이는 비선형 인접 부채널간 간섭(NICI:nonlinear interchannel interference)으로 볼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 NICI의 분산을 고출력 증폭기의 Volterra 모델과 입력 신호의 평균 전력을 통해 해석적으로 구하고 이를 이용하여 OFDM 시스템의 비트 오류율 성능을 계산한다. 또한 고출력 증폭기를 갖는 OFDM 시스템의 위상 왜곡을 수신단에서 보상하기 위한 간단한 방법을 제시하고 이 경우의 비트 오류율을 계산한다. 제안된 분석 방법이 타당함을 16-QAM 방식을 사용하는 OFDM 시스템에 대해 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 수행함으로써 입증한다.

This paper presents a novel analysis, design, and implementation of a battery charging three-phase high frequency semi-controlled power converter feasible for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The main advantages of the proposed topology include high efficiency; due to lower power losses and reduced number of switching elements, high output power density realization, and reduced passive component ratings proportionally to the frequency. Additional advantages also include grid economic utilization by insuring unity power factor operation under different possible conditions and robustness since short-circuit through a leg is not possible. A high but acceptable total harmonic distortion of the generator currents is introduced in the proposed topology which can be viewed as a minor disadvantage when compared to traditional boost rectifiers. A hysteresis control algorithm is proposed to achieve lower current harmonic distortion for the rectifier operation. The rectifier topology concept, the principle of operation, and control scheme are presented. Additionally, a dc-dc converter is also employed in the rectifier-battery connection. Test results on 50-kHz power converter system are presented and discussed to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed topology for PHEV applications.

Currently it is major problem of electric railway with increasing drive speed such as the arc generated by the pantograph detachment and the distortion current in the motor-block high speed switching. When physical contact between the pantograph and the catenary line is separated, the pantograph detachment arcing occurs and it makes up the conductive noise to the return feeder. We made the EMTP modeling of the railway traction system and the pantograph arc by circuit elements and switches. The influence of pantograph detachment frequency is investigated by changing some frequencies. The over-current occurs in each detachment and it oscillates some time at beginning and stabilizes gradually. The magnitude of over-current is decided by instantaneous value of existing traction return current. If the detachment occurs at a point of peak value or distortion current, the over-current will be more harmful to the power systems connected with the return feeder and will become to arise with increasing detachment frequency.

In this paper, the effect of nonlinear distortion, caused by a high-power amplifier (HPA) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, on the receiver part is analyzed. Since the HPA, which can be modeled by a memoryless Volterra system, distorts OFDM signals in a nonlinear fashion, the received signal at each subchannel includes the multiplicative distortion of 1-st order as well as additive nonlinear distortion of higher-order. The nonlinear distortion can be viewed as a nonlinear interchannel interference (NICI) since it consists of harmonic distortions and intermodulation distortions, produced by other subchannels affecting the subchannel of interest. In this paper, were analytically derive the variance of NICI in terms of average input power using the Volterra model for HPA, and then calculate the bit-error rate (BER) performance of an OFDM system. Also, we propose a simple method to compensate for the phase distortion in OFDM system amplified by HPA, and calculate its BER performance. Validity of the proposed approach is verified by computer simulations for an OFDM system employing 16-QAM constellation input.

The etching technology of the high aspect ratio contact(HARC) is necessary at the critical contact processes of semiconductor devices. Etching the $SiO_{2}$ contact hole with the sub-micron design rule in manufacturing VLSI devices, the unexpected phenomenon of 'profile tilting' or 'bottom distortion' is often observed. This makes a short circuit between neighboring contact holes, which causes to drop seriously the device yield. As the aspect ratio of contact holes increases, the high C/F ratio gases, $C_{4}F_{6}$, $C_{4}F_{8}$ and $C_{5}F_{8}$, become widely used in order to minimize the mask layer loss during the etching process. These gases provide abundant fluorocarbon polymer as well as high selectivity to the mask layer, and the polymer with high sticking yield accumulates at the top-wall of the contact hole. During the etch process, many electrons are accumulated around the asymmetric hole mouth to distort the electric field, and this distorts the ion trajectory arriving at the hole bottom. These ions with the distorted trajectory induce the deformation of the hole bottom, which is called 'profile tilting' or 'bottom distortion'. To prevent this phenomenon, three methods are suggested here. 1) Using lower C/F ratio gases, $CF_{4}$ or $C_{3}F_{8}$, the amount of the Polymer at the hole mouth is reduced to minimize the asymmetry of the hole top. 2) The number of the neighboring holes with equal distance is maximized to get the more symmetry of the oxygen distribution around the hole. 3) The dual frequency plasma source is used to release the excessive charge build-up at the hole mouth. From the suggested methods, we have obtained the nearly circular hole bottom, which Implies that the ion trajectory Incident on the hole bottom is symmetry.

OFDM (직교 주파수 분할 다중화) 신호의 높은 PAPR은 시스템의 송신단에서 전력증폭기의 비선형적 특성으로 인해 비선형 왜곡이 불가피하게 발생한다. 이 현상은 대역 내 왜곡과 대역 외 방사를 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 다항식 (polynomial) 모델에 기반한 사전왜곡(pre-distortion) 기법으로 이러한 문제를 보상하는 기법을 제안한다. 비선형 및 역비선형 다항식 모델 추정은 LSE(Least Square Error) 알고리즘으로 수행한다. 또한 시스템의 성능 향상을 위해 피크제거와 클리핑 결합기법을 이용해 OFDM 신호가 전력증폭기의 포화 영역 근처에서 동작함으로써 발생하는 왜곡된 신호의 진폭을 제거한다.
