Abstract:
Creating music through sound synthesis is the most representative electronic music creation method, and electronic music is actually the result of sound synthesis technology. Today, the field of electronic music encompasses multiple areas such as recording, mixing, composing, and producing. It also has some advantages over traditional music composition. Voice is the most effective and direct way of communication between people. And with the explosive development of speech recognition technology, the recognition rate of speech recognition systems in the near field environment has been greatly improved. However, in practical applications, there is often a large amount of ambient noise. If these environmental noises are strong, it will seriously affect the quality, accuracy, and speed of music synthesis. This greatly reduces not only the sound quality and clarity of speech but also the speed of speech recognition. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a multisensor speech enhancement technique and implements a multisensor speech enhancement system. It also proposes an enhancement method based on speaker speech and microphone speech. In this paper, the low-frequency harmonic components of the bone conduction signal are used to replace the frequency points disturbed by wind noise to reduce the influence of wind noise on speech quality and intelligibility. The experimental results show that the PESQ and MOS scores of the improved algorithm in this paper are 1.65 and 3.67, respectively. Compared with the existing methods, it has a great improvement. This can effectively improve the voice quality of the music synthesizer and reduce background noise.

Abstract:
Groove is defined as wanting to move the body to music. Most empirical groove research has focused on rhythmic features like microtiming and syncopation, while research on musical liking has focused on pitch, form, and repetition. Here, we examine the effect of timbre on groove and liking ratings by applying audio filters to basslines in an electronic dance music (EDM) style. We also investigate via questionnaire the role of music and dance experience, preferred genre, and gender on groove and liking. Four brief EDM loops were created, each consisting of drum samples and a synthesized bassline. Each loop had four audio filter conditions (high-pass, band-pass, low-pass, no filter) applied to its bassline. The 102 participants heard all stimuli three times, rating them for groove and liking, and then completed the questionnaire. For both groove and liking, participants gave higher ratings to the filter conditions preserving low-frequency energy (low-pass and no filter). The relation of the questionnaire data to groove and liking was limited, meriting further investigation. Overall, the results suggest that people find groovier, and like more, basslines preserving low-frequency energy. The lack of loop-filter interaction suggests that timbre can determine groove and liking across different melodic and rhythmic contexts.

Abstract:
Sparse frequency agile orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SFA-OFDM) signal brings excellent performance to electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) and reduces the complexity of the radar system. However, frequency agility makes coherent processing a much more challenging task for the radar, which leads to the discontinuity of the echo phase in a coherent processing interval (CPI), so the fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based method is no longer a valid way to complete the coherent integration. To overcome this problem, we proposed a novel scheme to estimate both super-resolution range and velocity. The subcarriers of each pulse are firstly synthesized in time domain. Then, the range and velocity estimations for the SFA-OFDM radar are regarded as the parameter estimations of a linear array. Finally, both the super-resolution range and velocity are obtained by exploiting the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract:
A spatially polarized time-frequency distribution (SPTFD) based on dual-polarized double-fed antenna arrays is adapted to deal with polarization-unstable signals. A linear time-frequency (TF) representation was used for an instantaneous frequency (IF) estimate, primarily due to its simplicity and immunity to cross-interference. Using a set of linear TF transformations using Gaussian windows and Fourier oscillation kernels, the IF estimated window widths of multiple unstable signals are obtained. This paper introduces a new method for estimating the direction of arrival (DOA) of polarized waves using adaptive linear time-frequency transforms. In this paper, a narrowband far-field point source on the receiving array is analyzed. The source signal is split into two orthogonally polarized components. The optimal window is determined by the first derivative of the IF; for this purpose, we take a simple algorithm for solving the derivative and optimize it. In developing TF-adaptive and fully automatic TF display technology, the first method is to use the time-adaptive window for minimizing the IF estimate mean square error (MSE) sum at each moment, while the second procedure is to adjust according to time and frequency and minimize estimate MSE sum at each position in the TF region. Due to its combination with signal polarization, the spatial time-frequency distribution (STFD) gains more freedom and thus perfects the phonon space estimation of noise and signal. On the SPTFD platform, polarized time-frequency multiple signal classification (PTF-MUSIC) is used for the estimation of signal direction of arrival, which outperforms conventional time-frequency MUSIC. Using the example of a synthesized signal, this method outperforms conventional techniques in DOA estimation.

Abstract:
Advanced numerical simulations, that include modal and frequency response function finite element analysis, frequency domain and time domain finite element method – boundary element method analysis, are performed to study the vibro-acoustic behaviour of crash and splash musical cymbals. The results of the modal analysis agree well with experimental measurements found in literature. The frequency domain and time domain coupled finite – boundary element method simulations, despite their high computational resources and time demands, are used for the crucial comparison of the velocity spectrograms on the cymbal to the radiated sound pressure spectrograms in the air. The computational analysis results show that the splash cymbal is characterized by a faster decay and a higher frequency content compared to the crash cymbal. The advanced multiphysics vibro-acoustic simulations that correlate the displacements and velocities of the vibrated structure with the radiated sound pressure results demonstrate the future capability to synthesize the sounds of cymbal music instruments.

Abstract:
Silicon Germanium BiCMOS technology has been demonstrated as an ideal platform for highly integrated systems requiring both high performance analog and RF circuits as well as large-scale digital functionality. Frequency synthesizers are ideal candidates for this technology because the mixed-signal nature of modern frequency synthesis designs fundamentally requires both digital and analog signal processing. This research targets three areas to improve SiGe frequency synthesizers. A majority of this work focuses on applying SiGe frequency synthesizers to extreme environment applications such as space, where low temperatures and ionizing radiation are significant design issues to contend with. A second focus area involves using SiGe HBTs to minimize noise in frequency synthesizer circuits. Improved low frequency "pink" noise in SiGe HBTs provide a significant advantage over CMOS devices, and frequency synthesis circuits are significantly affected by this type of noise. However, improving thermal "white" noise is also considered. Finally, an analysis of AM-PM distortion is considered for SiGe HBTs. The studies presented focus on identifying the physical mechanisms of observed phenomena, such as single event transients or phase noise characteristics in oscillators. The ultimate goal of this research is to provide a reference of effective design parameters for circuit and system designers seeking to take advantage of the properties of SiGe device physics.

Abstract:
Through the analysis of the spectral characteristics of thousands of mastered (or remastered) commercial recordings from a variety of genres over the history of popular music, researchers have studied stylistic trends and spectral conventions. The aim of this study was to further explore, analyse and compare the spectral characteristics of two broad but distinct popular music genres: rock and vocal-based electronic music. The main reason for this choice of genres being that rock generally predominantly is based on (amplified) acoustical elements (e.g. acoustic drums and acoustic/electric bass/guitars) and that electronic music generally predominantly is based on electronic elements (e.g. beats and synthesizers). The stimuli for the study consisted of 24 top-five hit songs from the Billboard charts between 2016-2020, divided by genre. A fast fourier transform approach was used for the computation of target spectrums as well as low level descriptors for the two independent datasets of recordings. Spectral analysis followed with the goal of answering the following research questions: What do the spectral stylistic conventions appear to be in rock versus vocal-based electronic music and what spectral differences/similarities exists between these two distinct popular music genres? The results showed that there were some significant spectral differences between the two genres, especially noticeable in the low end of the frequency spectrum. Other genre-specific spectral trends and overall spectral conventions were found as well.

Abstract:
Desire for low-power, high performance computing has been at core of the symbiotic union between digital circuits and CMOS scaling. While digital circuit performance improves with device scaling, analog circuits have not gained these benefits. As a result, it has become necessary to leverage increased digital circuit performance to mitigate analog circuit deficiencies in nanometer scale CMOS in order to realize world class analog solutions. In this thesis, both circuit and system enhancement techniques to improve performance of clock generators are discussed. The following techniques were developed: (1) A digital PLL that employs an adaptive and highly efficient way to cancel the effect of supply noise, (2) a supply regulated DPLL that uses low power regulator and improves supply noise rejection, (3) a digital multiplying DLL that obviates the need for high-resolution TDC while achieving sub-picosecond jitter and excellent supply noise immunity, and (4) a high resolution TDC based on a switched ring oscillator, are presented. Measured results obtained from the prototype chips are presented to illustrate the proposed design techniques.

Abstract:
Understanding how synthesizers generate sounds is an important aspect of learning how to produce electronic music. In this game-based activity designed for undergraduate students, I outline how to use analogies to help students understand how ADSR (attack, decay, sustain, release) envelopes work as they relate to synthesis. Starting with a piece of paper and a letter envelope, learners start by understanding the concept visually with physical objects. Following, learners are provided opportunities to apply these analogies when working with envelope modules on synthesizers. By applying this knowledge, students can use envelope parameters more effectively to achieve the sound they wish to create.

Abstract:
With the advance of electronics, techniques and algorithms for digital signal processing, digital equipment has been gaining more and more space in the music scene. Micro-processed tools now generate several effects such as modulation, echo, and distortion of sounds generated by musical instruments, previously obtained only by analog units. In this context, this study aimed to develop aprototype of distortion effects unit using a Raspberry Pi (a low-cost small single-board computer) and affordable electronic components. Therefore, five nonlinear functionswere used, four of which are present in the literature andone of them was originally developed by the authors. These functions model the behavior of an active element (suchas transistors, valves, and operational amplifiers), which when they exceed their amplification thresholds produce distortions in the audio signals. Throughout this article, all the steps in the development of the analog circuits for signal acquisition and output will be presented, as well as the simulation and implementation of the functions in the microcontroller. At the end, with the finished prototype, the frequency response analysis is performed and the sound results achieved by the algorithms is compared with each other and with other distortion units.
