본 논문에서는 댐핑이 고려된 전력계통에서 동요시 안정도를 향상시킬 수 있는 확장된 PI제어를 이용한 조속기 제어기를 제안하였다. 전력계통에서의 동요는 대부분 고장기간 동안에 발전기에 저장된 과잉운동에너지에 의해 발생한다. 계통이 안정하도록 하기 위해서 과잉에너지를 효과적으로 다루려면 보통 직접법을 사용된다. 과잉에너지를 제어하기 위한 직접적인 방법으로는 LFC(Load Frequency Control)의 궤한이 활용된다. 확장된 PI제어 방식이 적용된 제어기는 지역내에서와 지역사이에서의 동요를 감쇄시키기 위한 조속기에 적용될 수 있다 또한 제안된 제어기는 조속기에 스팀밸브 제한 조건이나 발전율 제약조건(Generation Rate Constraint; GRC)과 같은 특이점이 존재할 때에도 우수한 성능을 보여주었다. 시뮬레이션은 두지역의 다기계통에서 부하를 변화시켜가며 실시하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안된 PI 제어기를 기존의 PI 제어기와 비교하여 매우 향상된 성능을 보여주었다.

This paper presents a VHF/UHF-band variable gain low noise amplifier for multi-standard mobile TV tuners. A proposed VHF-band variable gain amplifier is composed of a resistive shunt-feedback low noise amplifier to remove external matching components, a single-to-differential amplifier with input PMOS transcoductors to improve low frequency noise performance, a variable shunt-feedback resistor and an attenuator to control variable gain range. A proposed UHF-band variable gain amplifier consists of a narrowband low noise amplifier with capacitive tuning to improve noise performance and interference rejection performance, a single-to-differential with gm gain control and an attenuator to adjust gain control range. The proposed VHF-band and UHF-band variable gain amplifier were designed in a $0.18{\mu}m$ RF CMOS technology and draws 22 mA and 17 mA from a 1.8 V supply voltage, respectively. The designed VHF-band and UHF-band variable gain amplifier show a voltage gain of 27 dB and 27 dB, a noise figure of 1.6-1.7 dB and 1.3-1.7 dB, OIP3 of 13.5 dBm and 16 dBm, respectively.

This paper deals with a size-reduced Ku-band waveguide limiter. Basically, it passes the signal from 16.125 GHz through 16.375 GHz, but when excessively high power is injected to the input port, it should change to a bandstop filter. Furthermore, it is required to change to bring attenuation by more than 20 dB and 50 dB over a narrow band and the entire passband, respectively. Therefore, in order to meet this requirement, a limiting device is implemented with multiple PIN-diode posts that enable the limiter to be the bandpass filter and stopband one at the off and on states of the PIN-diode switch, respectively. So, the design goes through the equivalent circuit modelling and the geometry is realized in the accurate electromagnetic analysis CAD tool. Finally, the result is discussed to shed light on whether it complies with the aforementioned requirement.

In this paper, we suggests a Ka-band LNB considering next-generation UHD satellite TVRO. Since Ka-band has grater attenuation than Ku-band in atmosphere, we designed the low-noise down-converter to improve receiving sensitivity and to extend a dynamic range of receiver. It aims to compensate a quality of ultra high definition transmission signal for rainfall. The low-noise block diagram consists of a three-staged amplifier (LNA), band-pass filter for deleting image (BPF), mixer and IF when considering nonlinear characteristics in the receiver RF front end module. Also, we showed a LNB through optimization processes affecting dynamic range directly in receiver FEM. Asa resuly of experiment, the gain of low-noise down-converter show between 58.5dB and 60.7dB, the noise figure has a high characteristic as 1.38dB. Finally, the phase noise of local oscillator is -63.10dBc at 100MHz offset frequency.

A parallel plate detector containing PTFE films in FEP film for relative dosimetry was designed to measure the response of detectors to S and 10 MV X-rays from a medical linear accelerator through different thicknesses of lead. The dielectric materials were 100 m thick. The set-up conditions for measurements with this detector were as follows: SSD=100 cm the test detector was at a depth of 5 cm and the reference chamber was at a depth of 10 cm from the phantom surface for 6 and 10 MV X-rays. Lead blocks were designed to cover the irradiated field. They were added to the tray to increase thickness sequentially. We found that the detector response decreased exponentially with the thickness of lead added. The linear attenuation coefficients of the test detector and reference chamber were 0.1414 and 0.541, respectively, for 6 MV X-rays and 0.1358 and 0.5279 for 10 MV X-rays. The test detector response was greater than that of the reference chamber. The response function was calculated from the measured values of the test detector and reference chamber using optimization. These optimized constants for the detector response function were independent of theenergy. As a result of optimizing the response function between detectors, the use of a relative dosimeter was validated, because the response of the test detector was 1% for 6 MV X-rays and 4% for 10 MV X-rays.

This paper describes the MMIC product qualification of the Ka band satellite transponder for the COMS(Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite). Ka-band active equipment for the COMS communications transponder are being developed by using 12 kinds of MMICs which include low noise amplifiers, medium power amplifiers, frequency mixers, frequency multipliers, RF switch, and HEMT attenuator MMIC, Those MMICs had been fabricated at the MMIC production foundry of northrop Grumman Space Technology (Velocium) which is qualified for space application, and experienced in various space programs during past decades. For the MMIC product qualification, Visual inspection and SEM inspection had been performed, and burn-in test for 240 hours and accelerated life-test for 1000 hours had been done on test fixtures of individual MMIC products at $125^{\circ}C$. Additionally, infrared temperature scanning and finite element simulation were performed to analyze and confirm the channel temperature of semiconductor devices on several representatives of those MMIC products that os one of the most important factors in performance degradation and life reduction.

This paper introduces the reduction design technique of the resonance phenomenon of the inner PCB based on power integrity from the analysis about the inner power supply line generating RLC resonance. With the technique, the resonant frequency resulted from the structural characteristics of the PCB can be analyzed and allows to predict and the capacitor for resonance phenomenon reduction can be decided as a decoupling capacitor. From the simulation result, it was confirmed that the PCB's resonance phenomenon reduction design technique should have the reduction effect in the inner motherboard of the industrial controller. This research will be contributed to the improvement of the safety of a PDN (Power Delivery Network) structure in the layout design technique of the PCB.

Fiber-optic sensor (FOS) using bending-sensitive fiber (BSF which detects physical variables according to the variation of fiber-bending is proposed. BSF is already used in variable optical attenuator. Three-dimensional finite difference beam propagation method (3D FD-BPM) is used to investigate the bending loss of BSF. Then, the results of bending experiment with FOS consisting of BSF is compared to numerical results of 3D FD-BPM. In particular, the optical power of fabricated FOS with BSF varies from -ldB to -2OdB when pressure given to the upper side of FOS changes from 0 MPa to 0.005 MPa, while the FOS consists of SMF shows no change of optical power at the same condition.

우주발사체I 상단 시스템은 비행 중에 킥 모터 점화, 위성분리와 같은 HBW 점화기 기폭이 순차적으로 발생 한다. HBW 점화기의 기폭시에는 일반적으로 전도성 구조물을 통한 단락전류가 일시적으로 발생한다. 이러한 단락전류는 구동 전원 측으로 최대 전류 값 및 루프 면적에 비례한 일시적인 자기장을 형성시키고 near 필드(${\lambda}/2{\pi}$) 내의 인접하게 위치한 하니스에 자계 결합을 통한 역기전력 발생의 원인이 될 수 있다. 이러한 인접 하니스에 자계 노이즈 결합은 여러 자료를 통해 우주시스템 환경에서 일시적인 데이터 손실의 원인이 되는 것으로 분석되고 있다. 본 논문은 우주발사체의 HBW 점화기 기폭시 발생되는 전도성 구조물 단락전류 귀환현상으로 인한 자계노이즈 분석 및 감쇄방안에 대해 논의하고자 한다.
