The role of the window length of time-frequency transformation is important for the audio data hiding methods utilizing phase information. In this paper, the experiments for our audio data hiding method were conducted in order to evaluate the audio quality and robustness against reverberant environment. The experimental results showed the tendency that the worse audio quality but better robustness were obtained when the lengthy window was applied. The important reason for quality degradation was pre-echo which flatters the percussive sound. The results also indicated that the wireless communication theory related to the length of time-frequency transform can be applied in the field of audio data hiding and acoustic data transmission.

The Cycloconverter that the author is going to treat in this paper, has strong advantages over the D.C. Link Inverter in points of chattering torque problem and natural commutation. Thus, the Cycloconverter is expected to be well applied to large and low-speed machines which require better speed control at low frequency. But the control circuit of Cycloconverter has two weak points described as follows. 1) Because of its rather complicated control circuit, it is likely to be illoperating due to unexpected noise signals, thus the higher the accuracy and reliability of the circuit is required to be, the more the circuit may cost. 2) Because the load current is not purely sinusoidal, the Cycloconverter may possibly be destroyed in case of inaccurate convert switching resulted from the difficulties in detecting the load current-zero and the current direction at the moment. In this paper, the author first of all intends to design and build a modified VVVF-type Noncirculating Current Cycloconverter to which recently proposed control methods are applied for improving the circuit simplicity, the control performance, and the system reliability. And then, experiments for observing the output waveforms of the Cycloconverter which is controlled by Singled-Board Computer using 8086 16-bit microprocesser are carried out. Finally the author concludes the result of this study as follows. 1) By replacing the conventional analog control circuits such as Reference Wave Generator, Cosine Timing Wave Generator, and Comparator with softwares, a great circuit simplicity is achieved. 2) The output of the designed Cycloconverter changes its frequency very fast without showing discontinuity of its waveform, and this waveform characteristics enables the smooth speed control of Induction Motor. 3) The design control circuit of Cycloconverter can be applied to the systems of 12 or 24 pulses because of its short processing period.

An algorithm of the conventional wavelet shift keying is carried out that the scaling function and wavelet are encoded to 1(mark) and 0(space) for the input binary data, respectively. Two bit modulation technique which uses four carrier frequencies is existed. Four carrier frequencies are defined as scaling function, inversed scaling function, wavelet, and inversed wavelet, which are encoded to 10, 11, 00 and 01, respectively. In this paper, we defined 4-ary SWSK (4-ary scaling wavelet shift keying) which is two bit modulation, and it is derived to the probability of bit error and symbol error of the defined system from QPSK. In order to analyze to the performance of 4-ary SWSK, we are obtained in terms of the probability of bit error and symbol error for QPSK (quadrature phase shift keying), MFSK(M-ary frequency shift keying) and proposed method. As a results of simulation, we confirmed that the proposed method was superior to the performance in terms of the probability of bit error and symbol error.

In the case of a small UUV operating an active synthetic aperture sonar, various velocity disturbances may occur on the path due to the influence of external underwater environment, and this causes phase errors in coherent synthetic aperture processing, which has a large influence on the detected image. In this paper, when a periodic sinusoidal velocity disturbance is generated in the traveling direction, the phase generated by the round trip slope range at each position is estimated the cross correlation coefficient for multiple received signals and compensated the position variation in the overlapped DPC by the average value within the maximum allowable width. Through simulations, it has been confirmed that the images degraded by the velocity disturbance amplitude and fluctuating frequency of the UUV are removed from the false targets and the performance of azimuth resolution is improved by the proposed phase compensation method.

This paper presents 12.2 GHz ~ 12.7 GHz frequency band reflection type 5-bit digital phase shifter with constant insertion loss property that was fabricated with relatively low cost's InGaAs HEMT for amplifier. The unavoidable large insertion loss difference between on and off states of HEMT, when it is designed by conventional design theory based on ideal switching device, is removed by transforming the HEMT impedances at on and off states to other proper values connecting a certain length transmission line to HEMT and then applying the conventional design theory. The fabricated 5-bit digital phase shifter shows very good insertion loss properties of less than 1.5 dB insertion loss difference and -4.5 dB ~ -6 dB insertion loss in 35 phase steps at 12.2 GHz ~ 12.7 GHz. These results verify the design method presented in this paper, which is useful to design phase shifter of constant insertion loss with non-ideal switching device.

This paper presents quasi-resonant type high power factor ac power supply for atmospheric pressure plasma cleaning system adopting three phase PFC boost converter and it's control method. The presented ac power supply consists of single phase H-bridge inverter, step-up transformer for generating high voltage and three phase PFC boost converter for high power factor on source utility. Unlikely to the traditional LC resonant converter, the propose one has an inductor inside only. A single resonant takes place through the inside inductor and the capacitor from the plasma load modeled into two series capacitor and one resistance. The quasi-resonant can be achieved by cutting the switching signal when the load current decrease to zero. To obtain power control ability, the propose converter controlled by two control schemes. One is the changing output pulse period scheme in the manner of PFM(Pulse Frequency Modulation) control. On the other, to provide more higher power to load, the DC rail voltage is directly controlled by the 3-phase PFC boost converter. The significant merits of the proposed converter are the uniform power providing capability for high quality plasma generation and low reactive power in AC and DC side. The proposed work is verified through digital simulation and experimental implementation.

Mutual inductance is minimized by using proposed each orthogonal coil of receiver and the method that inputs $90^{\circ}$ phase shifted power is used to radiate magnetic energy into two dimension. This method facilitates two dimensional resonant WPT by solving power efficiency degradation problem according to location in general WPT. The resonance frequency is 6.78 MHz and the distance between transmitting and receiving resonator is 200 mm. The transfer efficiency of the proposed wireless power transfer system is higher than 40 % at all direction.

Spectral phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction (SPIDER) was fabricated and used to characterize pulses from a Ti:sapphire oscillator. In the SPIDER apparatus, two replicas of the input pulse were generated with a time delay of 200 fs and were upconverted by use of sum-frequency generation with a strongly chirped pulse using a 8-cm-long SFIO glass block at a 30-11m-thick type II BBO (p-BaBz04) crystal. The resulting interferogram was recorded with a UV-enhanced CCD array in the spectrometer. The spectral phase was retrieved by SPIDER algorithm in combination with independently measured pulse spectrum and the corresponding temporal intensity profile was reconstructed with a duration of 19 fs. As an independent cross-check of the accuracy of the method, we compared the interferometric autocorrelation (lAC) signal calculated from the SPIDER data with a separately measured lAC. The conventional, but unjustified, method of fitting a sechz pulse to the autocorrelation deceivingly yielded a pulse duration of 15 fs. This systematic underestimation of the pulse duration affirms the need for a complete characterization method. From the consideration in this paper, we concluded that the SPIDER could provide an accurate characterization of femtosecond pulses. ulses.

In order to improve the efficiency of frequency bandwidth, various modulation methods such as QAM and PSK have been widely used, and their variation APSK(Amplitude Phase Shift Keying) type modulation methods were proposed and are being used in some satellite communication systems. In this paper, a new constellation method named as $4L^2$-APSK is proposed, which places symbol points circularly as the existing APSK constellations do, but has different number of points and different distance between adjacent points on each layer. An equation for error probability in AWGN channel is also induced for $4L^2$-APSK. In addition, a new Gaussian noise channel is proposed in which noise variances are in the amplitude and in the phase and the two are not equal, and a method of obtaining error probabilities in this channel is also suggested. The equations for error probabilities are verified by computer simulations, and error probabilities of $4L^2$-APSK and QAM are analyzed and compared in the AWGN channel and the proposed noise channel, respectively.

A power line in not so good in characteristics for communication, because it is a media to transfer the commercial electrical power, and its load noise and high frequency noise are so much. Thus, a simple method to transfer a remote control signal on the power line is studied. The already-existing method is that two signals with upper part eliminated is transmitted every N step. But the method is investigated which the transmitter sends a period signal eliminated in arbitrary phase. Thus the transmission power loss due to elimination of signal can be reduced to the minimum. To implement it, a timer calculating the time from zero-crossing point to the phase is required. The micro-controller, 87C51, precisely calculates the phase using one of two built-in timers. As a result, a remote control signal tramsmitter and receiver using a partially eliminated signal, which is better than the conventional technique using half-eliminated signal in a efficiency of power transmission, is realized, and its characteristics are analyzed.
