In this study, we investigated the effect of the simplification for high frequency region in Head-Related Transfer Function(HRTF) on the sound localization. For this purpose, HRTF was measured and analyzed. The result in the HRTF frequency characteristic of the back sound source showed that the decrease revel of high frequency was smaller than that of low frequency region, which means the possibility of simplification in the high frequency region. Simplification was performed by flattening of the high frequency amplitude characteristics with the insertion of the low-pass filter, whose cutoff frequency is given by boundary frequency. Auditory experiments were performed to evaluate the simplified HRTF. The result showed that direction perception was not influenced by the simplification of the frequency characteristics of HRTF for the error of sound localization. The rate of confusion for the front and back was not affected by the simplification of the frequency characteristics over 8kHz of HRTF. Finally, we made it clear that the sound localization was not affected by the simplification of frequency characteristics of HRTF over 8kHz.

This study aims to investigate the characteristics of wave generation in a deep ocean engineering basin and to develop a meta-model of the transfer function of the wavemaker that reflects the geometric characteristics of the deep ocean engineering basin. To this end, the two-dimensional frequency domain boundary element method was applied to achieve an efficient analysis that reflects the geometric characteristics of the deep ocean engineering basin. The developed numerical method was validated through comparison with the analytical solution. Numerical analyses were conducted for the boundary value problem of the wavemaker according to various periods and the positions of the movable bottom. The numerical results were used to investigate the effect of the geometric characteristics of the deep ocean engineering basin on the transfer function of the wavemaker, and the effect of depth on wave generation was checked by changing the position of the movable bottom. To efficiently utilize the various results of the boundary element method, a meta-model, an approximate model of the transfer function of the wave maker, was developed using a thin plate spline interpolation model. The validity of the developed meta-model was confirmed through a comparison of the results of the model tests.

Convergence condition determines performance of iterative learning control (ILC), for example, convergence speed, remaining error, etc. Hence, the performance can be elevated and a feasible set of learning controllers grows if a less conservative condition is obtained. In the frequency domain, the $H_{\infty}$ norm of the transfer function between consecutive errors has been currently used to test convergence of a learning system. However, even if the convergence condition based on the $H_{\infty}$ norm has a clear property about monotonic convergence, it has a few drawbacks, especially in MIMO plants. In this paper, the relation between the condition and the monotonicity of convergence is clarified and a modified convergence condition is found out using a frequency domain Lyapunov equation, which supersedes the conventional one in the frequency domain.

In this paper, a new high-frequency equivalent circuit model of printed spiral coils (PSCs) for radio-frequency interference (RFI) measurement has been proposed. To achieve high-frequency modeling, the proposed model consists of distributed components designed based on the design parameters of the PSCs. In addition, an analytic model for PSCs based on T-pi conversion has been proposed. To investigate the feasibility of the proposed model for RFI measurement, the transfer function between a microstrip line and a PSC has been extracted by combining the proposed model and mutual inductance. The self-impedances of the proposed model and the transfer function have been successfully validated using three-dimensional field simulation and measurements, revealing noticeable correlations up to a frequency of 6 GHz. The proposed model can be employed for high-frequency probe design and RFI noise estimation in the gigahertz range wireless communication bands.

OFDM systems are much studied for the recent high speed wireless optical communication system. OFDM system has basically high PAPR and ICI easily generated because of non-linearity and RF impairments. In the wireless optical communication system, optical output power driven by current of LED is not linear so that transmission signals are distorted. Therefore, research about reception performance of this nonlinear optical output emitted by non-linear LED transfer function and OFDM signal has been conducted. Nonlinear effect of LED is different from nonlinear effect of OFDM system in the conventional radio communication system, which degrades the BER performance. In this paper, we apply non-linear transfer function of recently studied LED into OFDM system. So, for reducing the PAPR and suppressing the ICI in frequency domain of receiver, we suggest a new PAPR reduction technique to reduce non-linear distortion of LED and an adaptive ICI suppression algorithm so that BER performance may be improved. Also, the proposed method is verified through simulation results.

In this paper, we propose a novel spectral-chopping model of Class-II$(1+D)^2$ -PRS system which reveals improved spectral efficiency. We build up the model having spectrum chopped by the amount of Nyquist over-rate, and then compare its characteristics with the conventional model in both the time-domain and the frequency-domain. When the transmission system operates above the Nyquist rate, the new model has better performance than the conventional PRS using its inherent speed-tolerance. According to our investigations, Class-II PRS shows more excellent effect in the spectral-chopping method than Class- I and W types analyzed previously. We ascertain that the over-rate of 26.675 obtained by the inherent speed-tolerance could be improved upto 40% using spectrum-truncation. These effects come from the fact that the raised-cosine spectrum of Class-II PRS has smaller Boss of frequency component and energy than any other types for the same amount of truncation. In order to validate these theoretical results, we present their sidelobe-trends confirming cancellation effects at the sampling instants and some experimental results showing their patterns of eye-openings and spectra.

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the fatigue life to apply the vibration fatigue analysis considering the stiffness change of the spot welding due to fatigue damage accumulation. For this, the mechanical and fatigue properties of base and spot welded standard specimens were obtained through the tensile and constant amplitude fatigue test. The transfer function of the spot-welded structure was obtained from the frequency response analysis and fatigue analyisis was performed under the condition of PSD=0.11. A vibration fatigue analysis that considered changes in the frequency response due to the fatigue damage that is, failure of some wleding point was conducted on spot-welded structure. The fatigue life of the spot-welded structure was determined by combining the transfer function, the S-N curve of the tensile-shear spot-welded joint and the input PSD.

The dominant source of noise in a sea-connected piping system is usually due to a seawater cooling pump which circulates seawater to operate onboard equipments normally, and so its water-borne noise with some tonal frequencies should be reduced using proper silencers. In order to obtain the transmission loss of water-borne noise silencers experimentally the present paper suggests a transfer function technique that acoustic wave in the piping system is decomposed into its incident and transmitted components when the reflection at the termination of the system exists. Good agreement in the interested frequency range with theory and the proposed technique shows the validity of the technique.

We derive the radiation field equation at the naar field region to analyse EMI by the rectangular horn antenna. The EMI loadk current calculated from the load current induced on the transmission line being close to the rectangular horn antenna using the field theory and the transmission line theory. We find the conditions minimizing the EMI from the load current transfer function of distance, frequency and impedances at sending and receiving end. The smaller sending end impedance, the larger EMI load current and the larger sending impedance, the smaller EMI load current.

The distortion of an electrical pulse, which has a rise/fall time due to the dispersion and the reflection, on tapered microstrip lines has investigated In time domain. The voltage and current transfer functions are shown for the tapered line. The dispersion distortion obtained by using these trans(or functions are represented for the nonideal square pulse along the triangular, Tchebycheff and exponential tapered lines, and analyzed the influence of the reflection and the frequency dispersion on the distorted voltage wave in the tapered lines. The observed overshoot in front of the distorted wane is caused due to the frequency dispersion and the sustained tail of that comes from the reflection in the tapered line.
