A new algorithm for estimating the fundamental frequency of power system signals is presented. The proposed algorithm consists of two stages: orthogonal decomposition and a complex Prony analysis. First, the input signal is decomposed into two orthogonal components using cosine and sine filters, and a variable window is adapted to enhance the performance of eliminating harmonics. Then a complex Prony analysis that is proposed in this paper is used to estimate the fundamental frequency by approximating the cosine-filtered and sine-filtered signals simultaneously. To evaluate the performance of the algorithm, amplitude modulation and harmonic tests were performed using simulated test signals. The performance of the algorithm was also assessed for dynamic conditions on a single-machine power system. The Electromagnetic Transients Program was used to generate voltage signals for a load increase and single phase-to-ground faults. The performance evaluation showed that the proposed algorithm accurately estimated the fundamental frequency of power system signals in the presence of amplitude modulation and harmonics.

This paper presents the results of power spectra using the fundamental and low frequency harmonic components of leakage current waveform to study aging on contaminated EPDM insulator(was serviced during 1997-2001, region Pohang, korea) under salt fog conditions. Experiments have been conducted in the chamber salt fog and at the 16KVrms. The salt contents adjusted as 0g,25g,50g and 75g per liter of deionized water. The onset of dry-band arcing on polymer insulators could be determined by signal processing the low frequency harmonics components. A correlation has been found between the fundamental and low harmonic components of power spectra on leakage current. Where aging could be associated with an increase in the level of both the fundamental and low frequency harmonics components of leakage current. Surface aging for contaminated EPDM insulators occurred when the fundamental component of leakage current was greater then some level On the other hand, when the polymer insulator approached failure, the fundamental component of leakage current reached relatively high values and low frequency harmonics components of the leakage current trended to decrease. The results suggest that both the fundamental and low frequency harmonics of leakage current can be used as a tool to determine both the beginning of aging and before flashover, end of life EPBM insulator in salt fog.

This paper deals with the applicability of extended layerwise optimization method (ELOM) for frequency optimization of laminated composite plates. The design objective is the maximization of the fundamental frequency of the laminated plates. The fibre orientations in the layers are considered as design variables. The first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is used for the finite element solution of the laminates. Finally, the numerical analysis is carried out to show the applicability of extended layerwise optimization algorithm of laminated plates for different parameters such as plate aspect ratios and boundary conditions.

An iterative technique based on orthogonal filters and frequency tracking is proposed to estimate harmonic components in power systems. The technique uses frequency interpolation to estimate fundamental frequency and harmonics when the nominal frequency of the signal is a non-integer value. Due to the number of computations involved during the generation of filter coefficients, an offline computation is suggested. Beneficial features of the proposed technique include fixed sampling rate and fixed data window size. The performance of the proposed technique is examined by simulating different power system operating conditions and evaluating the data from these simulations. A technique based on Fast Fourier Transform is also used to estimate the harmonic components for all the simulated signals. These estimates are compared with those obtained from the proposed technique. Results show that the proposed technique can converge to the accurate fundamental frequency and therefore, provide accurate harmonic components even when the fundamental frequency is not equal to the nominal frequency.

In the proposed paper, we designed low noise frequency synthesizer with compact size for Multi-Band. The proposed frequency synthesizer consists of fundamental frequency band(2 GHz) and harmonic frequency band(4 GHz). To improve the phase noise and spurious level of frequency synthesizer, we analyze how the configuration of frequency synthesizer affect the phase noise and design the multi-band's structure. The implemented frequency synthesizer reduce both the phase noise and spurious level. The phase noise is -92.17 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz frequency offset in 2 GHz and -90.50 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz frequency offset in 4 GHz. All spurious signals including fundamental frequency are suppressed at least 20 dBc than the second harmonic frequency.

본 논문은 피치를 추출하는 방법으로 자기상관을 이용하였다. 시간과 주파수 영역의 자기상관은 서로 다른 특성을 가지고 있으며, 각각 피치주기와 기본주파수에 대응된다. 본 논문에서는 시간과 주파수 영역에서의 자기상관을 결합하는 방법을 이용하였다. 이 방법은 자기상관에서 발생하는 피치 doubling과 having 에러를 크게 개선시킬 수 있었다. 하지만, 시간과 주파수 영역에서 유성음의 주기적 특성인 피치주기와 기본주파수는 서로 역수 관계이며, 특히 기본주파수의 에러는 FFT의 분해능에 의하여 발생된다. 이러한 영향을 줄이기 위하여 시간 영역과 주파수 영역에서의 자기상관 결합에 보간법을 적용함으로써 피치 검출율을 향상 시킬 수 있었다. 자기상관을 결합할 때 시간영역에서 찾은 피치후보들에 대해서만 주파수영역의 자기상관을 구함으로써 계산량은 감축될 수 있었다. 또한, 선형보간을 이용하여 기존방법 보다 FFT 계수를 8배 줄일 수 있었다. 그 결과, FFT 연산량과 주파수영역의 자기상관 계산량을 크게 감축하여 기존 방법 대비 알고리즘 처리시간을 약 9.5배 줄일 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 고조파 소음을 내는 시스템의 기본 주파수 추정을 통한 새로운 피드백 능동소음제어 방법을 제안한다. 기준신호를 측정하기 어려운 상황에서 종래의 다중 정현파 소음의 능동제어 방법은 기준신호를 측정하는 대신 추정된 주파수를 이용하여 기준신호를 만들어낸다.$^{(4)}$ 그러나 맥놀이현상(beating phenomenon)이 존재할 때는 순간적으로 특정 주파수 성분이 사라지게 되므로 적응 주파수 추정이 어렵게 되어 맥놀이현상에 의한 주파수 추정에서의 혼돈은 만들어진 기준신호를 쓸모없게 만든다. 제안된 알고리즘은 두 가지 부분으로 구성된다. 첫째는 기본주파수 추정을 이용한 기준신호 발생기이고 둘째는 기존의 피드포워드 제어 부분이다. 제안된 결정 규칙을 이용한 기본주파수 추정알고리즘은 맥놀이현상에 둔감할 뿐 아니라 기존의 직렬형 적응노치필터 방법에 비해 좋은 추종성능과 적은 주파수 추정 오차의 분산을 갖는다.$^{(4)}$ 더욱이 신호대잡음비가 좋지 않아 기존의 주파수 추정방법으로는 추정될 수 없는 주파수 성분가지 제어가 가능하다. 제안된 능동소음제어 방법의 성능을 검증하기 위해서 실측한 선박의 객실 소음과 자동차의 시변하는 엔진부밍소음에 대해서 모의 실험을 수행한다.

An active frequency doubler monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) for E-band transceiver applications is presented in this letter. This MMIC has been fabricated in a commercial $0.1-{\mu}m$ GaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) process on a 2-mil thick substrate wafer. The fabricated MMIC chip has been measured to have a high output power performance of over 13 dBm with a high fundamental leakage suppression of more than 38 dBc in the frequency range of 71 to 86 GHz under an input signal condition of 10 dBm. A microstrip coupled line is used at the output circuit of the doubler section to implement impedance matching and simultaneously enhance the fundamental leakage suppression. The fabricated chip is has a size of $2.5mm{\times}1.2mm$.

The power system frequency plays an important role in monitoring and controlling the power system. The frequency can be measured through discrete Fourier transform (DFT) coefficients of its positive fundamental frequency. The accuracy of the frequency estimate is severely affected by noise in the power system signal and the leakage effect of the negative fundamental frequency in DFT. This paper proposes a DFT-based frequency estimation algorithm to cope with the noise as well as the leakage effect. In this algorithm, two suitable digital filters are introduced to reduce efficiently frequency estimate error due to the noise. These filters are designed to use a digital bandpass filter and a second-degree integrator. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in reduction of frequency estimate error is verified through simulations on noise, harmonics and frequency deviation.

Acoustic emission spectra was analyzed to investigate the distribution of sound pressure in a 36 kHz sonoreactor. The sound pressure of fundamental frequency (f: 36 kHz), harmonics (2f: 72 kHz, 3f: 108 kHz, 4f: 144 kHz, 5f: 180 kHz, 6f: 216 kHz), and subharmonics (1.5f: 54 kHz, 2.5f: 90 kHz, 3.5f: 126 kHz, 4.5f: 162 kHz, 5.5f: 198 kHz, 6.5f; 234 kHz) was measured at every 5 cm from the ultrasonic transducer using a hydrophone and a spectrum analyzer. It was revealed that the input power of ultrasound, the application of mechanical mixing, and the concentration of SDS affected the sound pressure distributions of the fundamental frequency and total detected frequencies frequencies significantly. Moreover a linear relationship was found between the average total sound pressure and the degree of sonochemical oxidation while there was no significant linear relationship between the average sound pressure of fundamental frequency and the degree of sonochemical oxidation.
