Multiharmonic tones containing resolved harmonics (1-7) of a fundamental, unresolved harmonics (8-24) of a fundamental, or both resolved and unresolved harmonics (1-24) were presented to listeners at each of six octaves ranging from 32 to 1024 Hz. There also were modified versions of each stimulus in which alternate harmonics were either attenuated or phase shifted. Listeners were asked to judg...

This paper addresses the challenge of respiration harmonics cancellation in microwave Doppler radar cardiopulmonary sensing. A new signal processor based on adaptive noise cancellation is proposed. When the heartbeat signal is easily overwhelmed by the respiration harmonics, the traditional band-pass filters are used to separate heartbeat signal from the respiration signal, then the LMS-based m...

The term ‘power quality’ [1-2] refers to the purity of the voltage and current wave-form, and a power quality disturbance is a deviation from the pure sinusoidal form. Harmonics superimposed on the fundamental are one cause of such deviations. Power quality problems [1-2] like voltage harmonics, voltage flickers, voltage sags and voltage swells, current harmonics, current unbalance, reactive cu...

Pitch is one of the most fundamental percepts in the auditory system and can be extracted using either spectral or temporal information in an acoustic signal. Although pitch perception has been extensively studied in human subjects, it is far less clear how nonhuman primates perceive pitch. We have addressed this question in a series of behavioral studies in which marmosets, a vocal nonhuman pr...

The non-linear loads include rectifiers, blenders, electric drills, UPS, computer, printer, TV’s, variable speed drivers, arc furnaces and high power electronic equipment comprising high power semiconductors i.e thyristorised Converters, Inverters etc. It is well known that any deviation from a perfect sin-wave is an indication of the presence of harmonics in the power system. Hence, a pure alt...

When a sinusoidal (ac) field is applied to a suspension containing nonlinear dielectric particles, the electrical response will generally consist of ac fields at frequencies of the higher-order harmonics. The situation is further complicated by an intrinsic dielectric dispersion which often occurs due to the surface conductivity or inhomogeneous structure of the particles. We perform a perturba...

High harmonics generated due to the scattering of relativistic electrons from high intensity laser light is studied. The experiments are carried out with an Nd:Glass laser system with a peak intensity of 2310 W cm in underdense plasma. It is shown that, at high intensities, when the normalized electric field approaches unity, in addition to the conventional atomic harmonics from bound electrons...

This paper presents a harmonics extraction algorithm using artificial intelligent method for shunt active power filter. Generally, Fourier Transform is used to analyze a distorted wave from power line and low pass filter is used to eliminate the fundamental wave before each harmonics component is detected. This conventional approach is difficult to implement due to the complicated process. In o...
