This paper presents the design of a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave(FMCW) radar altimeter with wide altitude range and low measurement errors. Wide altitude range is achieved by employing the optic delay in the transmitting path to reduce the dynamic range of measuring altitude. Transmitting power and receiver gain are also controlled to have the dynamic range of the received power be reduced. In addition, low measurement errors are obtained by improving the sweep linearity using the Direct Digital Synthesizer(DDS) and minimizing the phase noise employing the reference clock(Ref_CLK) as the offset frequency of the Phase Locked Loop(PLL).

포항가속기연구소가 추진 중인 제4세대 방사광가속기에는 100 PPM급의 클라이스트론 펄스전압 안정도가 요구된다. 이러한 안정도는 PFN(pulse forming network)에 충전되는 전압을 얼마나 정밀하게 제어하는가에 따라서 결정된다. PFN의 최종운전 전압은 deQing circuit에 triggering되는 시점에 따라서 결정된다. DeQing trigger system은 PFN의 충전전압과 기준전압을 비교하여 충전전압이 기준전압보다 커지는 시점에서 charging choke(충전 쵸크)의 2차에 구성된 deQing 회로의 SCR를 트리거 시켜서 충전 쵸크 1차와 2차의 권선비율이 25:1인 충전 쵸크의 2차를 단락시켜 1차에 흐르는 전류를 2차로 빼주어서 PFN 커패시터에 더 이상 충전되지 않게 하는 구조로 되어있다. DeQing circuit에 triggering되는 시점을 정밀하게 제어하기 위하여 PFN 충전전압을 미분하여 그 출력전압에 비례하여 트리거 출력을 지연시키는 기능과 analog 신호를 digital 신호로 변환하는 기능을 사용하였다. 이 논문에서는 deQing 시스템에 관련된 회로 및 시험결과에 대하여 설명하고자 한다.

We developed an optical transmitter and receiver for an electrical time division multiplexed (ETDM) 20 Gb/s optical transmission system, and experimentally investigated their characteristics. Especially, the clock extraction circuit, which is a key component in realizing broadband optical transmission receivers, was realized by using an NRZ-to-PRZ converter implemented with a half-period delay line and an EX-OR, a high-Q bandpass filter using a cylindrical dielectric resonator, and a microstrip coupled-line bandpass filter. Finally, the bit-error-rate of demultiplexed 10 Gb/s electrical signal after back to-back transmission was measured, and a high receiver sensitivity [-26.2 dBm for NRZ ($2^{7}-1$) pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS)] was obtained

Recently, the photoacoustic imaging system has been widely and intensively developed, and has been shown the possibility of diagnosis for early stage cancer. In this study, we developed a photoacoustic tomography imaging system with a commercial ultra sound device and a linear array probe. A tube phantom and a chicken breast phantom was made for the possibility of a system as a breast cancer detection. A moving average filter and a band pass filter with 3~6 MHz bandwidth were developed for background noise elimination before delay-and-sum beamforming algorithm was used for image reconstruction. As a result, we showed that some signal processing procedure before beamforming was effective for the photoacoustic image reconstruction.

본 논문은 $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 사용하여 2.5Gb/s CMOS CDR을 설계하였다. CML type의 논리게이트를 이용하여 보다 높은 주파수의 대역의 데이터를 복원하기 위한 위상비교기(PD)와 PD의 up과 down신호를 지연없이 루프필터(LF)에 공급하기 위한 전하점프(CP) 그리고 외부 스위치를 통해 VCO이득을 조절할 수 있는 링 타입의 VCO로 구성되었다. 또한 VCO의 부담을 줄이기 위하여 half-rate 클럭 테크닉을 사용하였다. Cadence tool을 사용하여 모의실험 및 layout을 하였다. VCO이득은 100MHz/V이고, 클릭 jitter는 rising일 때 27ps, falling일 때 32ps로 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 테스트칩 제작은 매그나침 $0.18{\um}$ CMOS 공정을 이용하였다. 칩 사이즈는 PAD를 포함하여 $850um{\times}750um$이다.

We have studied and demonstrated general, systematic error-correction methods for a dual rotating quarter-wave plate ellipsometer. To estimate and correct 5 systematic error sources (three offset angles and two unexpected retarder phase delays), we used 11 of the 25 Fourier components of the ellipsometry signal obtained in the absence of an optical sample. Using these 11 Fourier components, we can determine the errors from the 5 sources with nonlinear optimization methods. We found systematic errors ${\epsilon}_3$, ${\epsilon}_4$, ${\epsilon}_5$) are more sensitive to the inverted Mueller matrix than retarder phase delay errors (${\epsilon}_1$, ${\epsilon}_2$) because of their small condition numbers. To correct these systematic errors we have found that error of any variety must be less than 0.05 rad. Finally, we can use the magnitudes of these errors to correct the Mueller matrix of optical components. From our experimental ellipsometry signals, we can measure phase delay and the rotational angular position of its fast axis for a half-wave plate.
