본 논문은 직교 주파수 분할 다중 반송파 (OFDM) 시스템에서 입력 심볼 시퀀스의 주기와 연관하여 crest 값의 확률 분포를 유도하였고, 이로부터 입력 심볼 시퀀스의 주기가 짧을수록 OFDM 신호가 확률적으로 큰 crest 값을 갖는다는 것을 보인다. 다음으로 해밍 거리가 D인 두 입력 심볼 시퀀스의 crest 값 관계를 유도 한다. 이 두 결과를 이용하여 OFDM 시스템의 crest 값을 감소하기 위한 선택 사상 기법(SLM)에서 사용되는 위상 시퀀스 집합의 두 가지 조건을 제시한다. 마지막으로 m-시퀀스를 순환 이동하여 생성한 순환 하다마드 (cyclic Hadamard) 행렬의 행들로 구성한 집합을 최적에 근사한 위상 시퀀스 집합으로 제안한다.

In case that electronic ballast employing a valley-fill passive power factor correction (PFC) circuit is used for feeding fluorescent lamps, a new method to reduce crest factor of the lamp current is studied in this paper. In order to reduce crest factor to lower value, a pulse frequency modulation technique based on the waveform of the dc-link voltage which is predetermined by the passive PFC circuit, is taken into the switching control action of the electronic ballast. An equation-based analysis between the crest factor of lamp current and the effect of varying the inverter switching frequency is comprehensively performed.

본 논문은 이진(binary) 상보형 수열 쌍(complementary pair)을 대역확산 부호로 사용하여 16-QAM 변조된 2개의 심볼을 동시에 전송하는 MC-CDMA(Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access) 신호의 전력 포락선 특성 분석에 대한 것이다. 전력 포락선 분석을 통해 그 특성을 결정짓는 16-QAM 심볼 조합의 관계를 파라미터로 도출하고, 256개의 가능한 전송 심볼 조합 가운데 오직 60개의 서로 다른 전력 포락선이 존재함을 보였다. 또한 복소 평면에서 직관적 등가 변환 관계를 고찰하고 60개의 전력 포락선이 결국 16개의 서로 다른 전력 포락선 변이도(crest factor)를 유발함을 확인하였다. 동일한 변조 기법을 채택한 단일 반송파 신호와 비교하기 위하여 전력 포락선 변이도를 두 전송 심볼의 조합에 의해 발생하는 평균 전력에 따라 분류하였을 때, 전송 심볼의 모든 조합에 대하여 전력 포락선의 변이도가 3dB 이하임을 증명하였다.

The life of a fluorescent lamp is greatly affected by starting scenario and crest factor. This paper will propose a new crest factor control method in electronic ballast for fluorescent lamp using Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM), which employs a passive Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuit in the input stage. The operation of parellel-loaded circuit, the switching frequency. and the characteristics of electronic ballast with the proposed PFM control scheme are described in detail, and its validity is verified by the simulation results.

This paper presents a beamforming technique for locating impulsive sound source. The conventional frequency-domain beamformer is advantageous for localizing noise sources for a certain frequency band of concern, but the existence of many frequency components in the wide-band spectrum of impulsive noise makes the beamforming image less clear. In contrast to a frequency-domain beamformer, it has been reported that a time-domain beamformer can be better suited for transient signals. Although both frequency- and time-domain beamformers produce the same result for the beamforming power, which is defined as the RMS value of its output, we can use alternative directional estimators such as the peak value and crest factor to enhance the performance of a time-domain beamformer. In this study, the performance of three different directional estimators, the peak, crest factor and RMS output values, are investigated and compared with the incoherent interfering noise embedded in multiple microphone signals. The proposed formula is verified via experiments in an anechoic chamber using a uniformly spaced linear array. The results show that the peak estimation of beamformer output determines the location with better spatial resolution and a lower side lobe level than crest factor and RMS estimation in noise free condition, but it is possible to accurately estimate the direction of the impulsive sound source using crest factor estimation in noisy environment with stationary interfering noise.

The interaction of focused wave groups with a vertical wall is investigated based on the second order potential theory. The NewWave theory, which represents the most probable surface elevation under a large crest, is adopted. The analytical solutions of the surface elevation, velocity potential and wave force exerted on the vertical wall are derived, up to the second order. Then, a parametric study is made on the interaction between nonlinear focused wave groups and a vertical wall by considering the effects of angles of incidence, wave steepness, focal positions, water depth, frequency bandwidth and the peak lifting factor. Results show that the wave force on the vertical wall for obliquely-incident wave groups is larger than that for normally-incident waves. The normalized peak crest of wave forces reduces with the increase of wave steepness. With the increase of the distance of focal positions from the vertical wall, the peak crest of surface elevation, although fluctuates, decreases gradually. Both the normalized peak crest and adjacent crest and trough of wave forces become larger for shallower water depth. For focused wave groups reflected by a vertical wall, the frequency bandwidth has little effects on the peak crest of wave elevation or forces, but the adjacent crest and trough become smaller for larger frequency bandwidth. There is no significant change of the peak crest and adjacent trough of surface elevation and wave forces for variation of the peak lifting factor. However, the adjacent crest increases with the increase of the peak lifting factor.

In this study, crest settlement characteristics of CFRD (Concrete Faced Rockfill Dam) and ECRD (Earth Cored Rockfill Dam) were analysed through the instrumentation data from representative 7 large dams in Korea. Also, We have studied the effect of valley shape and uniaxial compressive strength of intact rock to better understand the impact of the parent rock strength and the valley shape on the long term crest settlement of CFRDs. From the results, we found that the valley shape and strength of intact rock on crest settlement of dams are an important parameters. As a result, we obtained that the maximum crest settlement of CFRD is larger than that of ECRD and long term crest settlement rate per dam height of rockfill dams is less than 0.60% during service period.

Leakage impulse current of the contaminated insulators by using experiment data were studied. The impulse current in phase-time relationship was analyzed on line post insulators. Also, frequency components and crest factor of the leakage current were investigated to provide a scheme for an early detection of insulator incipient failure. The study shows that the phase-time characteristic is non-stationary and random and, non-harmonic component and crest factor can be promising parameters for detecting insulator leakage currents.
