A direct conversion modulator-demodulator with even harmonic mixers with emphasis on noise analysis is presented. The circuits consist of even harmonic mixers (EHMs) realized with antiparallel diode pairs (APDPs). We evaluate the different levels of I/Q imbalances and DC offsets and use signal space concepts to analyze the bit error rate (BER) of the proposed transceiver using M-ary QAM schemes...

noise is a common and widespread problem in workplaces. noise can lead to hearing loss, hypertension, nervous and mental disorders, annoyance and stress, sleep disturbance, negative impact on productivity and working capacity. the undesirable effects of noise on an individual or group are called annoyance. some personal and social characteristics can affect on annoyance. this study was aimed to...

background: the purpose of this research was to determine the traffic noise level and changes in the kerman city, southeast iran in recent years. methods: this cross-sectional study was carried out in 2008 to investigate the existing noise situation in kerman. sound levels (l max , l min , l eq , l 99 , l 90 , l 50 and l 10 ) were determined throughout 13 stations using sound level measurement ...

Background and Aim: Exposure to impact noise (short-term, high intensity) higher than permitted levels results in injury to the auditory system. Armed forces are one of the occupational groups exposed to these types of noises resulting from gunshots. In this study, relevant articles and research on the adverse effects of impact noise, hearing loss, and tinnitus in armed forces and effective con...

noise is defined as unwanted or objectionable sound. human susceptibility to noise varies in terms of intensity, altitude, timbre of sound, personal sensibility, age, and history of ear disorder. noise pollution which is the result of heterogeneous and uncontrolled developments of cities is one the serious problems in large cities of iran. although noise pollution in kerman (located in southeas...
