In this paper, the metamaterial transmission line (TL) based on the complementary spiral resonators (CSRs) and interdigital structure is presented for reducing the phase noise of the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The metamaterial TL is realized by adopting the array of the CSRs etched on the ground plane and the interdigital transmission line on the signal plane. The interdigital TL on the signal plane has been used to obtain higher Q value than the conventional TL without the interdigital structure. The resonance properties and inherent saturation of Q value of the proposed metamaterial TL have been analyzed by varying the width of the TL on the signal plane, dimensions of the CSRs, current directions between the CSRs, number of the unit cell-pair of the CSRs, and whether or not there is the interdigital structure in this paper. The phase noise and tuning range of the proposed VCO are -127.50~-125.33 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz and 5.744~5.852 GHz.

An area efficient and symmetric dual-level spiral inductor structure is proposed and evaluated in comparison with the conventional single-level spiral inductors. Contrary to the dual-level inductor mutual coupling coefficient of the upper-and lower-level inductors of the dual-level inductor increases with the increases in the number of turns. Because of this, for the same silicon area, the inductances of the dual-level incuctors are 2.5-4 times higher than that of the single-level inductor. Furthermore, the dual-level showed better quality factor that the single-level inductors for the same inductance. It is the intention of this paper to demonstrate that the dual-level can be more useful for the RF integrated circuits than the conventional single-level spiral inductors form the aspects of area efficiency and quality factor. The proposed dual-level inductors are designed and confirmed to be perfectly symmetric, and can also be used as a high-frequency choke.

In EMAT field, spiral RF coils are much more widely used when compared with solenoid coils. In the field of the magnetostrictive strip transducers for long range ultrasonic testing of cylindrical structures, however, solenoid coils has been used. This seems to be attributed to the difficulty in fabricating low frequency (i.e., large size) spiral coils. In this paper, we describe a method for fabricating spiral coil magnetostrictive strip guided wave transducers from FFC (flexible flat cable). It is demonstrated through a comparison experiment that the spiral coil transducer has much superior performance (sensitivity, SNR, and guided wave direction control capability) than the previous transducer with solenoid coils.

In the case of a general spiral inductor, the orientation of the port is affected as it has an asymmetric structure. In this paper, a single-layered spiral inductor that can have a symmetrical structure is proposed, and the simulation and frequency characteristics are analyzed. The general spiral inductor shows a large difference in frequency-inductance characteristics, frequency-quality factor characteristics, and self-resonant frequency according to the standard of the port, while the proposed symmetric spiral inductor has an inductance of 2.7nH, a quality factor of about 7.86, and a self-resonant frequency of about 14.1GHz without changing the port. Compared to the general spiral inductor having a large difference depending on the port, it was confirmed that the influence on the port direction was small. However, it was confirmed that the mutual inductance decreased compared to the occupied area of the coil, resulting in a low inductance, and the resistance of the coil increased more than the increase in the inductance, and the quality factor was also lowered. In the future, it is expected that inductance and quality factor can be improved through a 2-layer symmetrical spiral structure.

기계구조물이 고속화, 경량화 됨에 따라 더 정밀한 구조물의 설계 및 해석이 요구되어지고 있고, 이에 따라 단속적모형 보다 한 단계 더 나아가 분포변수 모형으로 구조물을 모형화하게 된다. 특히 나선형 스프링은 기계구조물에서 가장 널리 사용되는 일반적인 요소로서, 그 형상이 공간상의 굽은 봉 형상이 므로 연성된 편미분방정식 형태로 지배방정식이 기술된다. 나선형 스프링 해 석은 Michell(1890)과 Love(1899)의 정적해석을 시작으로 Phillips와 Costello [1]의 'SimpleTheory' 및 Wittrick [3]의 지배방정식등 매우 복잡한 연성된 편미분방정식 형태를 지니고 있다. 그러나 이와 같은 편미분방정식은 해석하 기가 매우 어려워 수치해법으로도 간단한 경우에 한해서만 해석하여 왔다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 연성된 편미분방정식을 해석하기 위하여 보다 구 조진동문제에 적합한 수치해법을 제안하고, 이를 이용하여 나선형 스프링의 강제과도진동 응답을 정확하고 효율적으로 구하였다.

In the case of a general spiral inductor, the orientation of the port is affected as it has an asymmetric structure. In this paper, double-layer spiral inductor that can have a symmetrical structure is proposed, and the simulation and frequency characteristics are analyzed. Compared to the conventional single-layer symmetrical inductor having an inductance of 3.9~4.2nH, the proposed double-layer symmetric spiral inductor has an inductance of 11~12nH in 0.3~1.2GHz frequency range, a quality factor of about 4.4 in 800MHz, and a self-resonant frequency of about 2.7~2.8GHz without changing the port. Compared to the general spiral inductor having a large difference depending on the port, it was confirmed that the influence on the port direction was small.

In this study, we propose that the structures of 2-layer spiral planar inductors have a lower spiral coil and via increasing inductance in limited possession are and confirm the frequency characteristics. The structures of inductors have Si thickness of $300{\mu}m$, $SiO_2$ thickness of $7{\mu}m$. The width of Cu coils and the space between segments have $20{\mu}m$, respectively. The number of turns of coils have 3. The performance of spiral planar inductors was simulated to frequency characteristics for inductance, quality-factor, SRF(Self- Resonance Frequency) using HFSS. The 2-layer spiral planar inductors have inductance of 3.2nH over the frequency range of 0.8 to 1.8 GHz, quality-factor of maximum 8.2 at 2.5 GHz, SRF of 5.8 GHz. Otherwise, 1-layer spiral planar inductors have inductance of 1.5nH over the frequency range of 0.8 to 1.8 GHz, quality-factor of maximum 18 at 8 GHz, SRF of 19.2 GHz.

The curved structures in space, such as multi-level interchanges, ramped structures, and circular curved structures can be modelled as helically curved members with constant helix angle. This paper presents a finite element approach for the analysis of the static and the free vibration characteristics of the helically curved members by using the 7th order Hermite interpolation functions. This method is used to find more accurate solution of the static and dynamic responses of them than those of the previous studies.

운동하는 임의 강체의 순간속도는 플뤼커의 축좌표에 의한 트위스트로 표현될 수 있고 마찬가 지로 직렬형 로봇의 손의 운동 또한 한 개의 트위스트로써 순간속도를 표현할 수 있었으며, Jacobian이 나선좌표로 구성되어 있음을 알았다. 한편, 강체에 작용하는 힘은 플뤼커의 방사좌 표에 의한 치로 표현될 수 있으며, 역관계에 있는 두 나선에 의하여 표현된 트위스트와 치가 로봇의 역학적 해석에 어떻게 이용되는 가를 예를 들어 설명하였다. 이처럼 나선이론은 다 자 유도를 갖는 로봇의 운동 및 역학적 해석에 이용될 수 있는 효과적인 수학적도구라 할 수 있다. 나선은 하나의 기하적 요소이며, 복잡한 강체의 운동을 표현함에 있어서 간편함을 제공한다. 이미 한 세기 전 쯤에 소개된 나선이론이 근래에 와서 이와 같이 로봇의 운동해석에 활용되고 있음은 이러한 때문이라 할 수 있겠다. 나선이론은 이 글에서 설명이 생략된 로봇의 동역학적 해석에도 활용되며, 또한 병렬형 구조를 갖는 로봇(parallel robots)의 해석 등에서도 찾아 볼 수 있다.

In this paper, the linearity of Doherty power amplifier has been improved by applying a new Photonic Bandgap(PBG) structure on the output of amplifier. The reposed spiral PBG structure is a two-dimensional(2-D) periodic lattice patterned on a dielectric slab that does not require nonplanar fabrication process. This structure has more broad stopband and high suppression performance than the conventional three cell PBG. Also, It has a sharp skirt property. We obtained the 3rd-order intermodulation distortion(IMD3) of -33dBc for CDMA applications with that of maintaining the constant power added efficiency(PAE), the IMD3 performance is improved as much as -8 dB compared with a Doherty power amplifier without PBG structure. Moreover, the physical length of PBG is shortened, therefore the whole amplifier circuit size is considerably reduced.
