In the field of electronic warfare applications, high voltage power supply(HVPS) for high power phased array transmitters must necessarily have an independent operating characteristics for driving mini TWTs. TWT independent operational characteristics, in order to run without interrupting the electronic warfare mission by maintaining the partial transmission function even when one of the TWT has occurred a failure, is known to be very important. In this paper, we describe the research on high-speed independent control system using a high-density HVPS, including FE modulators, hardware configuration and the FPGA in order to independently operate mini TWTs. Also, we have simulated some possible faults in phased array transmitters, and presents the test results to control a faulted TWT independently.

In this paper, we proposed a SPICE model of high-voltage insulated gate bipolar transistor(IGBT). The proposed model consists of two sub-devices, a MOSFET and a BJT. Basic I-V characteristics and their temperature dependency were realized by adjusting various parameters of the MOSFET and the BJT. To model nonlinear parasitic capacitances such as a reverse-transfer capacitance, multiple junction diodes, ideal voltage and current amplifiers, a voltage-controlled resistor, and passive devices were added in the model. The accuracy of the proposed model was verified by comparing the simulation results with the experimental results of a 1200V trench gate IGBT.

This paper presents an analog front-end integrated circuit (IC) for medical ultrasound imaging systems using standard $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The proposed front-end circuit includes the transmit part which consists of 15-V high-voltage pulser operating at 2.6 MHz, and the receive part which consists of switch and a low-power low-noise preamplifier. Depending on the operation mode, the output driver in the transmit pulser can be reconfigured as the switch in the receive path and thus the area of the overall front-end IC is reduced by over 70% in comparison to previous work. The designed single-channel front-end prototype consumes less than $0.045mm^2$ of core area and can be utilized as a key building block in highly-integrated multi-array ultrasound medical imaging systems.

Driving the electrodeless fluorescent lamp, the high ac voltage with high frequency is required. The linear power amplifier has been widely used as a driving circuit of electrodeless fluorescent lamp. However, the low efficiency of the power amplifier causes the driving circuit to be replaced by a PWM switching inverter. In order to use a PWM switching inverter as the driving circuit to be replaced by a PWM switching inverter. In order to use a PWM switching inverter as the driving circuit of an electrodeless fluorescent lamp, the high switching frequency is required. But due to the switching loss at switches of the inverter, the limitation of high switching frequency appears in the inverter. One solution to this limitation is to reduce the switching loss by using the zero voltage switching technique. In this paper, zero voltage switching resonant inverter for driving an electrodeless fluorescent lamp is discussed. The results of analysis about the inverter are presented and the equations for design are established. And the validity of the analyzed results are verified through the experiment.

The high voltage driving system with multi-phase shifter including piezoelectric actuators comprised a driving power unit for outputting the driving power by converting input alternate current into direct current, a frequency shifting unit for supplying the direct current power and shifting or generating a frequency, a high-voltage amplification unit for amplifying the input signal outputted from the driving power unit and the frequency shifting unit into a high-voltage signal, and a phase shifting unit for shifting the phase difference of the amplified signal applied to the high-voltage amplification unit and driving plural piezoelectric actuators sequentially. The results that the operating voltage was stable, the voltage loss ratio was low and the response velocity was fast could be obtained. An experiment on performance of the high voltage driving system with multi-phase shifter designed and manufactured as above described was conducted by using a piezoelectric pump having 3 sheets of round unimorph piezoelectric actuators laminated respectively in a rectangular case. It sucks any fluid by causing the first piezoelectric actuator to shift from the inlet porter side, the phase delay of 60$^{\circ}$ causes the second piezoelectric actuator to begin to shift, and the phase delay of 120$^{\circ}$ causes the third piezoelectric actuator to begin to shift. As a result of measuring each change in the outlet flow rate of the piezoelectric pump, it was shown that the frequency-flow rate characteristic, the voltage-flow characteristic, and the load pressure-flow rate characteristic were improved.

플라즈마를 제어하기 위해서는 플라즈마의 온도, 밀도, 에너지 분포등과 같은 플라즈마의 특성을 정확히 측정할 수 있어야한다. 핵융합발전에서는 플라즈마를 발생하기 위하여 플라즈마의 온도, 밀도 등 각종 변수들을 시공간적으로 계측, 분석할 수 있는 진달설비를 사용하고 있으며, 정확한 플라즈마 제어와 측정을 위한 새로운 진단기술을 개발하고 있다. 그리고 중요한 변수중에 하나인 플라즈마 이온온도를 측정하기 위해 중성입자 검출법이 잘 알려져 있다. 이 실험은 수소 중성입자가 토카막 내부의 플라즈마 이온과 충돌하면서 생성된 고속 중성입자의 에너지를 분석하는 실험이다. 본 연구의 실험방법은 수소 중성입자를 이온빔 장치에서 이온화 시킨 후 자체 제작한 가속기를 통하여 가속시켜 에너지 특성을 분석을 하는 것이다. 본 연구의 실험장치로 에너지 교정용 100 keV 이온빔 소스를 제작 하였고 이온빔 장치 내부에 수소기체를 주입하고 기체방전을 일으켜 플라즈마를 발생시켰다. 이온빔 외부에는 팬을 설치하고 전도성이 강한 물 대신 전도성이 약한 오일을 사용하여 냉각 하였다. 이온빔 장치와 결합될 이온 가속장치는 지름 300 mm, 두께 2 mm의 원형 구리판을 여러층으로 쌓아 전극으로 제작하였고 전극과 전극 사이에서 코로나 방전과 스파크를 방지하기 위해 전극 둘레에 코로나링을 설치 하였다. 또한 전극 사이마다 1G${\Omega}$의 저항을 설치한 후 고전압을 생성하여 이온 가속 효율을 증대시켰다. 진공시스템으로는 Alcatel사의 CFF100 터보분자 펌프와 우성진공사의 MVP24 진공로타리펌프를 결합하여 사용하였으며, 진공도측정은 Alcatel사의 ACS1000 장치를 사용하였다. 고진공후 고속 중성입자의 이온화와 에너지 측정을 위한 전하교환기를 설치하였다. 전하교환기로는 진공시스템을 별도로 설치하고 비용이 비교적 많이 드는 기체형 전하교환기 대신 소형화가 가능하고 유지보수가 좋은 고체형 전하교환기 제작하여 실험 하였다. 전하교환기에서 이온화된 고속 중성입자가 전기장이나 자장에 영향을 받았을때 에너지분포를 디텍터를 통해 측정하였다. 즉, 이온화된 중성입자의 에너지가 실리콘 다이오드를 통해 전압 펄스 신호로 변환되고 이차 증폭기를 통해 전압 펄스 신호들이 증폭한다. 에너지 측정을 위한 디텍터는 소형화가 가능하고 비용이 비교적 적게 드는 실리콘 다이오드를 설치하였다. 본 연구결과 중성입자 에너지 분석 장치가 실제 핵융합 장치의 플라즈마 이온온도와 특성 측정에 적용할 수 있으며, 앞으로 개발될 여러 형태의 응용 플라즈마 발생장치의 플라즈마 진단에 이용될 것으로 기대한다.

We design a small-area, low-power, and high-speed EEPROM for touch screen controller IC. As a small-area EEPROM design, a SSTC (side-wall selective transistor) cell is proposed, and high-voltage switching circuits repeated in the EEPROM core circuit are optimized. A digital data-bus sensing amplifier circuit is proposed as a low-power technology. For high speed, the distributed data-bus scheme is applied, and the driving voltage for both the EEPROM cell and the high-voltage switching circuits uses VDDP (=3.3V) which is higher than the logic voltage, VDD (=1.8V), using a dual power supply. The layout size of the designed 128-KBit EEPROMIP is $662.31{\mu}m{\times}1314.89{\mu}m$.

The purpose of this study was to develop a miniature imaging gamma probe with high performance that can detect small or residual tumors after surgery. Gamma probe detector system consists of NaI(Tl) scintillator, position sensitive photomultiplier tube (PSPMT), and collimator. PSPMT was optically coupled with 6.5 mm thick, 7.62 cm diameter of NaI(Tl) crystal and supplied with -1000V for high voltage. Parallel hexagonal hole collimator was manufactured for characteristics of 40-mm hole length, 1.3-mm hole diameter, and 0.22 mm septal thickness. Electronics consist of position and trigger signal readout systems. Position signals were obtained with summing, subtracting, and dividing circuit using preamplifer and amplifier. Trigger signals were obtained using summing amplifier, constant fraction discriminator, and gate and delay generator module with preamplifer. Data acquisition and processing were performed by Gamma-PF interface board inserted into pentium PC and PIP software. For imaging studies, flood and slit mask images were acquired using a point source. Two hole phantom images were also acquired with collimator. Intrinsic and system spatial resolutions were measured as 3.97 mm and 5.97 mm, respectively. In conclusion, Miniature gamma probe images based on the PSPMT showed good image quality, we conclude that the miniature imaging gamma probe was successfully developed and good image data were obtained. However, further studies will be required to optimize imaging characteristics.
