High pressure hose having tuning cables, called Resonator hose is frequently used to attenuate pressure ripple generated by the pump for reducing the vehicle interior noise. A number of studios have been conducted on the resonator hose and its analytical models. However, there are few studies which deal with the influence of resonator hose on vehicle interior noise because the most of studies were focused on transmission loss of the resonator hose. This paper presents NVH test results of power steering system and frequency analysis results. In the frequency analysis, both the relations between vibration, pressure ripple and vehicle interior noise and also the design parameters of high pressure hose influencing on vehicle Interior noise were discussed. The test was done for various high pressure hose specimens in full turn condition.

To augment weakly damped lag mode stability of a hingeless helicopter rotor blade in hover, piezoelectric shunt with a resistor and an inductor circuits for passive damping has been studied. A shunted piezoceramics bonded to a flexure of rotor blade converts mechanical strain energy to electrical charge energy which is dissipated through the resistor in the R-L series shunt circuit. Because the fundamental lag mode frequency of a soft-in-plane hingeless helicopter rotor blade is generally about 0.7/rev, the design frequency of the blade system with flexure sets to be so. Experimentally, the measured lag mode frequency is 0.7227/rev under the short circuit condition. Therefore the suppression mode of this passive damping vibration absorber is adjusted to 0.7227/rev. As a result of damping enhancement using passive control, the passive damper which consists of a piezoelectric material and shunt circuits has a stabilizing effect on inherently weakly damped lag mode of the rotor blades, at the optimum tuning and resistor condition.

An InGaP/GaAs HBT based differential Colpitts voltage control oscillator(VCO) is presented in this paper. In the VCO core, two switching transistors are introduced to steer the core bias current to save power. An LC tank with an inductor quality factor(Q) of 11.4 is used to generate oscillation frequency. It has a superior phase noise characteristics of -130.12 dBc/Hz and -105.3 at 1 MHz and 100 kHz frequency offsets respectively from the carrier frequency(1.566 GHz) when supplied with a control voltage of 0 volt. It dissipates output power of -5.3 dBm. Two pairs of on-chip base collector (BC) diodes are used in the tank circuit to increase the VCO tuning range(168 MHz). This VCO occupies the area of $1.070{\times}0.90mm^2$ including buffer and pads.

The Impact Echo method can be used to measure the thickness of concrete plate like structures. Measurements are based on the identification of a clear thickness resonance frequency which can be difficult in very thick or highly attenuative plates. In this study the detectability of the measured resonant frequency is enhanced by time domain summation of signals with different source receiver spacing. The proposed method is based on the spatial and temporal properties of the first higher symmetric zero group velocity Lamb mode (S1-ZGV) which are described in detail. No application dependent tuning or filtering is needed which makes the method robust and suitable for implementation in automatic IE thickness measurements. The proposed technique is exemplified with numerical data and field data from a thick concrete wall and a highly attenuative asphalt concrete layer.

With the advent of context-aware computing, many attempts were made to understand emotions. Among these various attempts, Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a method of recognizing the speaker's emotions through speech information. The SER is successful in selecting distinctive 'features' and 'classifying' them in an appropriate way. In this paper, the performances of SER using neural network models (e.g., fully connected network (FCN), convolutional neural network (CNN)) with Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) are examined in terms of the accuracy and distribution of emotion recognition. For Ryerson Audio-Visual Database of Emotional Speech and Song (RAVDESS) dataset, by tuning model parameters, a two-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (2D-CNN) model with MFCC showed the best performance with an average accuracy of 88.54% for 5 emotions, anger, happiness, calm, fear, and sadness, of men and women. In addition, by examining the distribution of emotion recognition accuracies for neural network models, the 2D-CNN with MFCC can expect an overall accuracy of 75% or more.

The ±1-order Kelly sidebands with dispersion-dependent spacing of mode-locking fiber lasers are investigated for frequency-tunable terahertz signal generation. The principle of dispersion dependence of Kelly sidebands is analyzed. A new method, which is a dispersion-management mechanism introduced into the fiber-laser cavity, is proposed to generate Kelly sidebands with widely tunable wavelength spacing. A spacing tuning range of up to 28.46 nm of the ±1-order Kelly sidebands is obtained in simulation. Using the data of the optical spectrum with dispersion-dependent Kelly sidebands, the frequency spectrum of generated terahertz signals is calculated. Consequently, the signal frequency can be changed from 0.09 to 2.27 THz.

본 논문에서는 유전체 공진기와 마이크로스트립 라인 간의 결합 구조를 개선시켜 저위상 잡음을 갖는 전압제어 유전체 공진기 발진기(Vt-DRO: Voltage-tuned Dielectric Resonator Oscillator)를 설계, 제작하였다. 설계된 발진기는 유전체 공진기, 위상천이기, 증폭기로 구성된다. 발진기의 위상 잡음은 공진기의 군지연과 밀접하게 관계되며, 이러한 관계를 수식적으로 도출하고, 이를 예측하는 방법을 제안하였다. 유전체 공진기와 마이크로스트립 라인간의 결합 구조를 조정하여 약 53 nsec의 높은 군지연을 갖도록 설계하였다. 각 부의 측정은 측정의 편의성을 위해 웨이퍼 프로브를 이용하였으며, 이를 위하여 각 부의 입출력 포트를 CPW(Coplanar Waveguide)로 설계하였다. 각 부를 연결하여 측정한 S-파라미터는 개루프 발진 조건을 만족하였다. 설계된 개루프의 입출력을 연결하고 폐루프로 구성하여 전압 제어 유전체 공진기 발진기를 구현하였다. 측정 결과, 5.3 GHz의 발진 주파수에서 위상 잡음은 수식으로부터 도출한 값과 근사한, 100 kHz offset 주파수에서 -132.7 dBc/Hz를 얻었다. 이때 출력 전력은 약 4.5 dBm, 전기적 주파수 조정 범위는 0~10 V의 조정 전압에서 약 5 MHz를 보였다. PFTN-FOM(Power Frequency Tuning Normalized Figure of Merit)은 약 -31 dB를 보였다.

본 논문에서는 Composite Right/Left-Handed (CRLH) 전송 선로 (TL)와 pin 다이오드를 이용한 조절 가능한 부성 저항을 이용한 이중 대역 전압 제어 발진기에 대하여 연구하였다. CRLH 전송 선로는 이중 대역 주파수 조절 특성을 갖는 metamaterial 전송 선로를 만들 수 있다. CRLH 전송 선로의 이중 대역 동작은 CRLH 전송 선로의 주파수 오프셋과 위상 기울기에 의해서 얻어지고, 두 개의 동작 주파수들의 주파수 비율은 정수 배가 아닐 수 있다. 전압 제어 발진기의 각각의 주파수 대역은 독립적으로 동작해야 하므로 pin 다이오드를 이용한 조설 가능한 부성 저항을 사용하였다. 정전압을 pin 다이오드에 인가하였을 때, 전압 제어 발진기의 위상 잡음은 주파수 조절 범위 $2.423\sim2.597$ GHz에서 $-108.34\sim-106.67$ dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz이며, 역전압을 pin diode에 인가하였을 때는, 전압 제어 발진기의 위상 잡음이 주파수 조절 범위 $5.137\sim5.354$ GHz에서 $-114.16\sim-113.33$ dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz이다.

A phase-locked dielectric resonator oscillator (PLDRO) is an essential component of millimeter-wave communication, in which phase noise is critical for satisfactory performance. The general structure of a PLDRO typically includes a dual loop of digital phase-locked loop (PLL) and analog PLL. A dual-loop PLDRO structure is generally used. The digital PLL generates an internal voltage controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) frequency locked to an external reference frequency, and the analog PLL loop generates a DRO frequency locked to an internal VCXO frequency. A dual loop is used to ease the phase-locked frequency by using an internal VCXO. However, some of the output frequencies in each PLL structure worsen the phase noise because of the N divider ratio increase in the digital phase-locked loop integrated circuit. This study examines the design aspects of an interconnected PLL structure. In the proposed structure, the voltage tuning; which uses a varactor diode for the phase tracking of VCXO to match with the external reference) port of the VCXO in the digital PLL is controlled by one output port of the frequency divider in the analog PLL. We compare the proposed scheme with a typical PLDRO in terms of phase noise to show that the proposed structure has no performance degradation.

Since the digital TV signal band is very wide ($54{\sim}806MHz$), the VCO used in the frequency synthesizer must also have a wide frequency tuning range. Multiple LC VCOs have been used to cover such wide frequency band. However, the chip area increases due to the increased number of integrated inductors. A general method for achieving both reduced VCO gain(Kvco) and wide frequency band is to use the switched-capacitor bank LC VCO. In this paper, a scheme is proposed to cover the full band using only one VCO. The RF VCO block designed using a 0.18um CMOS process consists of a wideband LC VCO with reduced variation of VCO gain and frequency steps. Buffers, divide-by-2 circuits and control logics the simulation results show that the designed circuit has a phase noise at 100kHz better than -106dBc/Hz throughout the signal band and consumes $9.5{\sim}13mA$ from a 1.8V supply.
