The Sinusoidal Transform Coding(STC) is a vocoding scheme based on a sinusoidal model of a speech signal. The low bit-rate speech coding based on sinusoidal model is a method that models and synthesizes speech with fundamental frequency and its harmonic elements, spectral envelope and phase in the frequency region. In this paper, we propose the 2.4kbps low-rate speech coding algorithm using the sinusoidal model of a speech signal. In the proposed coder, the pitch frequency is estimated by choosing the frequency that makes least mean squared error between synthetic speech with all spectrum peaks and speech synthesized with chosen frequency and its harmonics. The spectral envelope is estimated using SEEVOC(Spectral Envelope Estimation VOCoder) algorithm and the discrete all-pole model. The phase information is obtained using the time of pitch pulse occurrence, i.e., the onset time, as well as the phase of the vocal tract system. Experimental results show that the synthetic speech preserves both the formant and phase information of the original speech very well. The performance of the coder has been evaluated in terms of the MOS test based on informal listening tests, and it achieved over the MOS score of 3.1.

In this paper, do link ripple currents for three-phase ac/dc/ac PWM converters feeding adjustable speed ac machine drives are analysed in a frequency domain. The expression of the harmonic currents is developed by using switching functions of the converter and exponential courier series expansion. The effect of the displacement angle between the switching Periods of line-side converters and motor-side inverters on the dc link ripple currents is Investigated. Also, the influence of asynchronization of PWM is observed. The result of analysis is compared with frequency spectrum which results from PSIM simulation. The proposed analysis technique is useful to understand the principles of P% and to derive an equivalent model of the dc link capacitors in a high frequency range.

In this paper, the modified generalized Chebyshev rational function is presented. The new element values of prototype low pass filter are obtained by network synthesis using this rational function. This proposed filter has an equal ripple passband as same as conventional generalized Chebyshev filter, but unlike conventional filter which has only one attenuation pole at finite frequency, the proposed filter has two different from each other attenuation pole in stopband. If the harmonic frequency is set to the second attenuation pole frequency, this harmonic is suppressed efficiently. Furthermore, since the location of the second attenuation pole can be arbitrary adjusted. our filters are very available for the realization of wide stopband, particularly.

This paper presents novel architectures for power amplifier (PA) relying on 3rd harmonic-tuning technique and dual feeding antenna structure for the isolation of the Tx and the Rx ports. Active integrated antenna (AIA) with power amplifier makes the problem of the isolation between the Tx and the Rx ports occur So, this paper suggests dual feeding and dual resonant structures of the AIA with PA are possible to obtain the high isolation between the Tx and the Rx signals. Dual resonant triangular microstrip antenna, which can replace power amplifier tuning circuit, with slots-loaded and characteristic of the isolation between the Tx and the Rx ports using inset microstrip line feeding and probe feeding methods is proposed and experimentally studied for the case of thin substrate.

본 논문에서는 PLL 주파수 합성기를 이용한 900 MHz 대역의 무선 마이크용 송신기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 위상잡음을 고려한 주파수 합성기는 VCO, Loop Filter 및 RF 중폭부로 구성한 후 HP EEsof ADS ver. 1.3을 이용하여 설계하였다. VCO는 구조가 간단하며 변조가 용이한 직접변조방식을 사용하였으며 Loop Filter는 주파수 합성기의 기준 고조파 성분을 낮추기 위해 수동 3차 필터를 사용하였다. 주파수 대역 928.125 MHz～929.875 MHz 내에서 채널간격 125 kHz를 갖으며 15개의 채널이 되도록 분주비를 설정한 주파수 합성기는 제작 결과, 송신기 출력 9.3 dBm과 위상잡음이 100 kHz에서 -113 dBc/Hz 이하의 위상잡음 특성을 나타내었고 불요주파수 특성은 -80 dBc 이하의 특성을 나타내었다.

It is very important to design of QAM modulator of high spectral efficiency for high speed data transmission. In this paper, typical 16-QAM modulator is designed by modification design of DDFS(direct digital frequency synthesizer). DDFS generates sinusoidal waveform digitally to the frequency setting word. Phase modulation is accuratly made by control of a generated phase increment value and amplitude modulation is accomplished in the D/A converter output by control of amplitude level. For the suppression of harmonics and glitch, dual-structured DDFS is studied to improve the spurious characteristics. P-Spice is used for design and simulation in mixed mode. Also we can get the satisfactory results of designed 16-QAM modulator from the constellation output.

In this paper, the low pass filter with harmonics suppression and rejection using parallel coupled-line and radial type open stub is presented. And the resultant characteristic of the proposed low pass filter is that the harmonics are suppressed and rejected in wide bandwidth due to the parallel coupled-line structure. The open stub of a low pass filter is constructed in radial type which can be used to adjust the size of filter. The size of the proposed low pass filter is $6.98{\times}7.60mm2$ and the cut off frequency is 2.45 GHz. And the filter is economical in unit cost and can be constructed easily and has the merit of mass product because the filter is composed of distributed element. Also, the widely rejected harmonics is 128 % in the bandwidth and the insertion and return losses of the low pass filter are 1.07 dB and 19.5 dB, respectively.

This paper proposes a new design method for narrow bandpass filters using two cascaded hairpin step impedance resonators (SIRs) with wideband harmonic suppression. The proposed bandpass filter utilizes a suspended strip line (SSL) to maximize the characteristic impedance ratio, thereby maximizing the harmonic suppression bandwidth. As an example of the proposed design method, the SSL bandpass filter with a center frequency of $f_0=1.4GHz$ and fractional bandwidth of 5 % was implemented, and proved to suppress harmonics up to $7.5f_0$ with a passband insertion loss of approximately -0.9 dB. This result implies that the proposed SSL narrow bandpass filter (NBPF) can suppress the harmonic bandwidth more than two times as compared with the filter design on a microstrip line (MSL).

In this papaer, a new type of ${\lambda}_g/4$ short stub band pass filter and ${\lambda}_g/2$ open stub band pass filter are purposed. Both are designed using FSCS technique for harmonic suppression. The proposed filters that used FSCS technique and a broadband stop filter is integrated to band pass filter to suppress the harmonics. The BSF are also placed between stubs so that the size is larger than prevent as compared to conventional one. The propose filters have center frequency of 5.8 GHz, bandwidth of 50% and harmonics suppressin is 120% has in bandwith. The measurement results in the case of ${\lambda}_g/4$ short stub filter, insertion loss of 0.5 dB, return loss of 14 dB are achieved and in the case of ${\lambda}_g/2$ open stub filter, loss of 0.8 dB, return loss of 14.4 dB are achieved. The simulation results and the measurement results are almost the same.

The objective of this study is to image the harmonic wave generated by contact acoustic nonlinearity in obliquely incident ultrasonic wave for early detection of closed cracks. A closed crack has been simulated by contacting two aluminum block specimens producing solid-solid contact interfaces and then acoustic nonlinearity has been imaged with contact pressure. Sampling phased array(SPA) and synthetic aperture focusing technique(SAFT) are used for imaging techniques. The amplitude of the fundamental frequency decreased with appling pressure. But, the amplitude of second harmonic increased with pressure and was a maximum amplitude at the simulation point of closed crack. Then, the amplitude of second harmonic decreased. As a result, harmonic imaging of contact acoustic nonlinearity is possible and it is expected to be apply for early detection of initial cracks.
