OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 전송 신호의 PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)을 효과적으로 감소시키기 위하여 클리핑 잡음 (Clipping Noise)을 이용한 적응적 톤 삽입 (Adaptive Tone Injection; ATI) 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 ATI 기법은 기존 TI 방법에서의 복잡도 문제를 개선하기 위해, IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) 출력 가운데 임계 진폭값 보다 큰 신호들을 클리핑 하는 과정, 클리핑된 신호에 대해 클리핑 잡음을 계산 후 주파수 영역 클리핑 잡음의 심벌 중에서 가장 큰 전력이 할당된 톤을 추출하는 과정, 추출된 톤을 확장된 성상도로 맵핑 후에 부분적으로 IFFT 하는 과정의 총 3단계로 구성된다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 ATI 기법은 맵핑이 가능한 최적의 톤을 클리핑 잡음을 이용하여 추출함으로써 기존 TI 방법에서와는 달리 본래신호와 동일한 정보를 가지는 등가 신호의 가능한 모든 조합을 필요로 하지 않으며, OFDM PAPR 감소 성능 역시 최적의 TI 방법에 근접함을 보여준다.

본 논문에서는 임펄스 잡음과 방해파에 의한 전자파 장해(EM!) 환경하에서 디지틀 무선통신 신호(QPSK 신호, DQPSK 신호,MSK 신호 및 GMSK 신호) 의 오율성능을 알아내기 위하여 오율식을 유도하고 이의 수치 계산 결과를 반송파 대잡음 전력비(CNR), 반송파 대 방해파 전력비(CIR), 임펄스 지수(A), 가우스 잡음 대 임 펄스 잡음 전력비($\gamma$ 방해파 지수(m) 동을 함수로 하여 그래프로 나타내고 이를 검토하여 임펄스 잡음과 방 해파 형태에 따른 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 엄펄스 잡음과 m-분포 톤 방해파가 함께 존재하는 환경하에서는 방해파의 진폭 변화의 정도가 클수록 오율성능열화가 심하였으며 오율의 성능열화가 가장 큰 것에서부터 작은 것으로 나열하면 DQPSK 신호, GMSK 신호, QPSK 신호,MSK 신호 순이다. 임펄스잡음과일정 진폭톤(m=$\infty$) 방해파가함께 존재하는환경하에서는CIR 20 dB 이상에서 방해파의 영향이 거의 없어짐을 알 수 있었다. 또한 CIR을 10dB에서 15dB로 증가시켰을 때 각 통신 방식마다 오율성능의 개선 폭이 가장 크게 나타났다. 방해파 진폭의 변동이 작을수록 또 CIR이 증가할수록 각 신호는 방해파로부터의 영향을 적게 받아 오율 성 능이 개선될 것으로 기대되었으나 그다지 큰 성능개선올 얻을 수 없었는데 이는 임펄스 잡음이 신호의 성능열 화에 지배적인 역할을 하기 때문이다.

Supersonic jet issuing from a nozzle invariably cause high-frequency noises. These consist of three principal components ; the turbulent mixing noise, the broadband shock-associated noise, and the screech tone. In present study, it was experimentally investigated to the effect of nozzle lip thickness on the characteristics of supersonic jet noise. The convergent-divergent nozzle of a design Mach number 2.0 was used in experiment. With three different nozzle-lip thicknesses, the jet pressure ratio was varied in the range between 2.0 and 12.0. Acoustic measurements were conducted by microphones in an anechoic room, and the major structures of the supersonic jets were visualized by a Schlieren optical system to investigate the effect of nozzle lip thickness. The measured results show that the characteristics of supersonic jet noise, such as overall sound pressure level (OASPL) and screech frequency, strongly depend upon the thickness of nozzle-lip.

This study was designed to examine the phoneme recognition errors of hearing-impaired (HI) listeners on a consonant-by-consonant basis, to show (1) how each HI ear perceives individual consonants differently and (2) how standard clinical measurements (i.e., using a tone and word) fail to predict these differences. Sixteen English consonant-vowel (CV) syllables of six signal-to-noise ratios in speech-weighted noise were presented at the most comfortable level for ears with mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing loss. The findings were as follows: (1) individual HI listeners with a symmetrical pure-tone threshold showed different consonant-loss profiles (CLPs) (i.e., over a set of the 16 English consonants, the likelihood of misperceiving each consonant) in right and left ears. (2) A similar result was found across subjects. Paired ears of different HI individuals with identical pure-tone threshold presented different CLPs in one ear to the other. (3) Paired HI ears having the same averaged consonant score demonstrated completely different CLPs. We conclude that the standard clinical measurements are limited in their ability to predict the extent to which speech perception is degraded in HI ears, and thus they are a necessary, but not a sufficient measurement for HI speech perception. This suggests that the CV measurement would be a useful clinical tool.

The vacuum cleaner that has no dust bag generates very high level annoying noise. The dominant noise source is the 2$\^$nd/ BPF tone of the rotating impeller. In order to reduce the noise, we identify the acoustic characteristics and reduce the noise of the vacuum cleaner and centrifugal fan. The resonance phenomenon is observed in blade passages and we found out that the resonance frequency is very close to the 2$\^$nd/ BPF. In order to reduce this high-level peak noise, new impeller is designed in this paper. The trailing edge of new impeller is inclined and this makes the flow interactions between the rotating impeller and the stationary diffuser vane occurs with some phase shift. The performance of new impeller is similar to the old one but the overall SPL is reduced about 3.6dBA. The SPL of BPF is reduced about 6dBA and 2$\^$nd/ BPF is reduced about 20dBA. The vacuum cleaner, which uses newly developed centrifugal fan, generate more comfortable noise than the old model and the strong tonal sound was dramatically reduced.

This study was conducted to investigate hypoacusis due to workplace noise among dental technicians. Pure tone audiometry, impedance audiometry and heart rate variability were measured for 60 dental technicians and office workers in D city from July to November 2013, and a survey on the effects of noise was conducted. SPSS 19.0 was used for statistical analysis. In the result for threshold of pure tone audiometry, the average hearing threshold of left ears in the air conduction (AC) test showed a statistically significant decrease (P=0.019) among dental technicians, who are frequently exposed to workplace noise. The hearing threshold in the AC test for each frequency was significantly different between the two groups at 125 Hz (P=0.012) in right ears and at 1 kHz (P=0.022), 2 kHz (P=0.040), and 8 kHz (P=0.018) in left ears. Dental technicians who had worked for 16 years or longer had a significantly higher incidence of hypoacusis in the right ear (P=0.030) and in the left ear (P=0.010). In impedance audiometry showed a tympanometry result of type A in both the dental technician group and the office worker group.

The tinnitus which is the one of the auditory disease is a phenomenon that the patients feel the sound in the ear or the head when there is no sound sources. There have been many therapies for this tinnitus so far, but it is known that the TRT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy) is the most effective therapy. So we designed and developed the controllable white noise generator for TRT. It must be designed as small as possible for user's convenience, such as the ITE (In The Ear) type hearing aids. It used the thermal noise as the white noise source. And filter and tone control circuits are used at the end of the noise generation part to control the white noise characteristics. This link of the controllable circuits is used to change the white noise's characteristic for the various tinnitus patients' characteristic. we can confirm that the designed and implemented controllable white noise generator which is a ITE type operates properly by the experiments of filter and tone control circuit.

A technique that uses linear prediction to achieve noise reduction in a voice signal which has been mixed with an ambient noise (Signal to Noise (S-N) ratio = about 0dB) is proposed. This noise reduction method which is based on the linear prediction estimates the voice spectrum while ignoring the spectrum of the noise. The performance of the noise reduction method is first examined using the transversal linear predictor filter. However, with this method there is deterioration in the tone quality of the predicted voice due to the low level of the S-N ratio. An additional processing circuit is then proposed so as to adjust the noise reduction circuit with an aim of improving the problem of tone deterioration. Next, we consider a practical application where the effects of round on errors arising from fixed-point computation has to be minimized. This minimization is achieved by using the lattice predictor filter which in comparison to the transversal type, is Down to be less sensitive to the round-off error associated with finite word length operations. Finally, we consider a practical application where noise reduction is necessary. In this noise reduction method, both the voice spectrum and the actual noise spectrum are estimated. Noise reduction is achieved by using the linear predictor filter which includes the control of the predictor filter coefficient’s update.

For the systems such as ANC(Active Noise Control) systems having auxiliary path after FIR type adaptive filter, Filtered-X LMS algorithm is effective. However behaviors of this algorithm has not been fully understood. The convergence property of this algorithm depends on not only cross correlation matrix between the filtered signals through model and real auxiliary path state solution of weight vector in Filtered-X LMS algorithm is investigated for under-determined case, over-determined case, and nonsingular case. Also, the convergence speed in case of two tone noise is investigated based on the eigenvalue spread of cross correlation matrix.

Windowing routines have as their purpose the reduction of the sidelobes of a spectral output of the FFT or DFT routines. Windowing routines accomplish this by forcing the beginning and end of any sequence to approach each other in value. Since they must work with any sequence they force the beginning and ending samples near zero. To make up for this reduction in power, windowing routines give extra weight to the values near the middle of the sequence. The difference between windows is the way in which they transition from the low weights near the edges to the higher weights neqr the middle of the sequence. Signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) can be determined by the ratio of the output noisy signal variance to the input noisy signal variance of a window. Standard deviation of noise is reduced by windowing. Thus, the windowing operation improved the SNR of the noisy signal. This paper shows a performance estimation of windowing on a single tone with added Gaussian noise and uniform noise.
