A measurement-based time-domain noise simulation of radiation detector-preamplifier (front-end) noise in nuclear spectroscopy is described. The time-domain noise simulation was performed by generating "noise random numbers" using Monte Carlo's inverse method. The probability of unpredictable noise was derived from the empirical cumulative distribution function via the sampled noise, which was measured from a preamplifier output. Results of the simulated noise were investigated as functions of time, frequency, and statistical domains. Noise behavior was evaluated using the signal wave-shaping function, and was compared with the actual noise. Similarities between the response characteristics of the simulated and the actual preamplifier output noises were found. The simulated noise and the computed nuclear pulse signal were also combined to generate a simulated preamplifier output signal. Such simulated output signals could be used in nuclear spectroscopy to determine energy resolution degradation from front-end noise effect.

In this paper, we show a new form of blood pressure controller combined PI control with $H_{\infty}$ loop-shaping. Hypertensive patients or post-operative patients need to maintain normally blood pressure. Exact regulation of blood pressure is needed for maintaining variable blood pressure of preventing complications. The regulation of blood pressure is achieved by injecting drugs, and usually sodium nitroprusside is used as those kinds of drugs. It is necessary to control the infusion rate sodium-nitroprusside carefully to achieve the desired blood pressure. It has been known that regulation of blood pressure by automatic controller is more effective than regulation of blood pressure by human operators. The control of blood pressure has many constraints and uncertainties. Most of biological system has the time-varying variables and the side effects such as increased risk of sepsis and organ failure. To solve such a problem, we design a new robust PI controller using $H_{\infty}$ loop-shaping to decrease noise effects that come out from human body and errors for time delay. The system with designed controller shows more stable control of mean blood pressure and more robust performance for uncertainties. Validation methods for the control performance are confirmed to computer simulations.

In this paper, we have proposed a OFDM/QPSK-DMR(Orthogonal frequency Division Multiplexing/Quadrature Phase Shift Keying Modulation-Digital Microwave Radio)system using BL-PSF(Band-limited pulse shaping filter) over the Microwave channel. In the proposed DMR system, STS-1(51.84 Mbps) of SONET(Synchronous Optical NETwork) is first modulated by OFDM/QPSK symbol and used Band-limited pulse shaping filter. The advantage of the proposed DMR system is to simplify system complexity and increase IFFT/FFT block use-efficiency. The system performance of single carrier and OFDM systems is already proved that those of DMR systems have the same performance over AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) channel environment. Therefore, the system is analyzed between proposed OFDM/QPSK-DMR and single carrier DMR systems and simulated by BER performance and Signature curve over Microwave channel environment. Simulation result is that the proposed system performances are approaching to the performance of single carrier DMR system as the number of Sub-carriers increasing.

In a scanning electron microscope (SEM), outside acoustic noise causes image noise that distorts observations of the specimen being examined. A SEM that is less sensitive to acoustic noise is highly desirable. This paper investigates the image noise problem by addressing the mode shapes of the base plate and the transmission path of the acoustic noise and vibration. By arranging the position of the rib, a new SEM base plate was developed that had twisting as the 1st and 2nd modes. In those two twisting modes, vibration nodes existed near the center of the base plate where the specimen chamber is placed. Less vibration was transmitted to the chamber and to the specimen by the twisting modes compared to bending ones, which are the 2nd and 3rd modes for a rectangular plain base plate. An SEM with the developed base plate installed exhibited a significant reduction of image noise when exposed to acoustic noises below 250 Hz.

본 논문에서는 HE-AAC (High Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding) 오디오 부호화기의 저주파 대역과 고주파 대역을 담당하고 있는 AAC부호화기와 SBR (Spectral Band Replication) 부호화기에 대해 낮은 비트율에서 효과적인 개선 방법을 제안한다. AAC 부호화기가 담당하는 저주파 대역에서 과도신호가 발생하는 부분의 프리에코를 줄이기 위하여 적용 주파수범위가 저주파 대역 방향으로 선택적으로 확장되는 eTNS (exteded Temporal Noise Shaping) 방법을 고안하였다. 또한 SBR에 의해 부호화되는 고주파 대역에서 톤 성분 복원 시에 잡음층 (Noise floor)이 추가 발생되지 않도록 정현파 모델을 통해 톤을 사전 인지하고 인지된 톤들의 주파수를 QMF 밴드의 중앙으로 재배치하여 성능 향상을 이루었다. 제안한 방법들을 사용하여 복호화한 샘플 음원들에 대해 주/객관적 음질평가를 실시한 결과, 표준 HE-AAC에 비해 향상된 결과를 보여주었다.

This paper presents active vibration control of a rotating cantilevered beam using piezoceramic actuators. A governing equation of motion is obtained by the Hamilton's principle and expressed in the state space representation. Subsequently, an H$_{\infty}$ control which is robust to system uncertainties is synthesized through the loop shaping design procedure. Computer simulations for the steady-state vibration control are undertaken in order to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control methodology..y.

본 논문에서는 2 Ms/s의 데이터 rate와 12-비트의 해상도를 갖는 Sigma-delta modulator의 구조를 제안한다. Sigma-delta modulator는 oversampling과 노이즈 shaping의 두 가지 특성으로 인해 낮은 해상도의 A/D 변환기와 결합하여 높은 해상도를 갖는 A/D 변환기의 구현이 가능하다는 장점으로 audio 응용 분야에 널리 사용되어 왔다. 그러나, Sigma-delta modulator를 무선 데이터 통신 등 다양한 응용 분야에서 사용하기 위해서는 좀더 높은 데이터 rate를 갖는 Sigma-delta modulator에 관한 연구가 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서 제안한 Sigma-delta modulator 구조는 기존의 64 내지 256의 oversampling비를 16으로 낮추어 sampling을 하여 기존의 수 십에서 수 백 Ks/s정도의 데이터 rate를 1 Ms/s 이상의 높은 데이터 rate에서 동작하도록 하였다. 그리고 두 개의 2차 Sigma-delta modulator를 Cascade 구조로 연결하고, 이득을 최적화하여 4차의 Sigma-delta modulator와 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 내부에는 1-비트 A/D, D/A 변환기를 채용하여 부가적인 calibration 회로가 필요 없도록 하였다.

The random pulse width modulation(RPWM) on the noise and vibration abatement in inverter-fed induction motor drive is presented. This paper describes a RPWM technique based on space vector PWM strategy for shaping the switching noise spectrum in such a way it can merge with the natural system noise. To verify the validity of the proposed RPWM scheme, the experiment based on the TMS320 C3l microprocessor was executed. Finally, the simulation and experimental results will be given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed RPWM technique.

Recently, applications of the reluctance torque motor have been quite limited due to their inherent limitation of noise and vibration and thus, researches on the reluctance motor have been limited as well. However, with the tremendous increase in the cost of rare earth material magnets, studies of the reluctance torque motor are being conducted more and more. In principle, reluctance torque is generated when the inductance is changed. Therefore, in order to generate continuous torque in the switched reluctance motor, it is necessary to figure out the exact inductance level corresponding to the rotor position and the current level to be applied in that rotor position, respectively. If the current level or the rotor position is not accurately determined, then the generated reluctance torque becomes unstable and undesirable torque ripples prevail to eventually cause noise and vibrations. In this research, a flux switched reluctance motor (FSRM), which is classified into the switched reluctance motor (SRM), was studied. A methodology using the current shaping control according to the rotor position was proposed. Based on the proposed methodology, the optimal current waveform and the torque distribution function for the FSRM to minimize torque ripple was established and demonstrated in this paper.
