Independent-gate-mode double-gate(IGM-DG) MOSFET overcomes the limitation of 3-terminal device structure, and enables to operate with different voltages for front-gate and back-gate. Therefore, circuit designs becomes not only simple, but also area-efficient due to the controllability of the 4th terminal provided by IGM-DG MOSFETs. In this paper, an RF receiver utilizing IGM-DG MOSFETs is presented and also, the circuit performance is verified by the HSPICE simulations. Besides, the circuit analysis and optimization are performed for various IGM-DG characteristics.

The sensorless speed control technique for BLDC motor using digital IP control is proposed in this paper for advanced speed characteristic which is robust to motor parameters and load variations. The sensorless drive of BLDC motor using terminal voltages is affected by load or speed because it uses analog filters to estimate the rotor position. For this reason, the robust speed controller with the accurate rotor position estimator is needed for sensorless control which is robust to load and insensitive to motor parameters. The constant speed robust to load variation and the stable sensorless control of BLDC motor robust to the increase or decrease of speed with constant load is implemented using digital IP control in this paper. The validity to these is established with experimentation.

본 논문에서는 전자기 과도현상 해석을 위한 다단자 회로망 등가표현법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 M개의 경계모선을 가진 축약대상 계통의 과도특성을 시간 영역에서 분석하며 이를 이용해 M 개의 노톤형 이산시간 등가 어드미턴스 필터꼴의 등가시스템을 구현한다. 이 때 각각의 등가 어드미턴스 필터 모델들은 해당 경계모선에서의 구동점 어드미턴스 특성을 나타내는 부분과 나머지 M-1 개의 등가 종속전류원으로 구성된다. 또한 이 등가 종속전류원들은 각 경계모선을 연결하는 분포정수 회로요소들로 인한 시지연 효과를 명확하게 반영할 수 있는 구조를 갖는다. 완성된 M 단자쌍 모델을 해석대상 시스템에 대한 이산시간 표현형과 쉽게 결합하여 원하는 전자기 과도현상 모의해석을 수행할 수 있다. 축약대상 시스템과 2 개의 경계모선을 통해 연결된 시험계통을 대상으로 모선지락 사고시 과전압과 스위칭 써지를 모의해석한 결과 제안하는 방법이 타당함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The position of stator is essential when a trapezoidal BLDC motor is drived. In this paper we proposed a novel sensorless drive system for the trapezoidal BLDC motor without hall sensors or encoders. The resistor Y-connecting method is used to obtain Back-emf of a trapezoidal BLDC motor. Especially, by using the new Back-emf filter circuit proposed in this paper the sensorless characteristic in low speed is improved. The prototype proposed system applied for a 100[W] rating BLDC motor is made and the propriety of the Back-EMF filter circuit is also verified.

피접지체의 접지는 전력설비의 절연파괴,낙뢰 등으로 전압이 침입할 경우 접지전극의 접지저항이 높으면 접지전극으로 유입되는 전류와 접지저항의 곱에 해당하는 접지전극의 전위가 상승하게 되므로 설비의 파손 인축의 피해 등이 발생 할 수 있다. 따라서 접지저항은 낮은 값으로 유지하는것이 필요하고 정기적으로 측정하여 관리하도록 규정하고 있다. 대표적인 접지저항측정방법으로는 3전극법(Fall of potential method)과 Hook-on 측정법이 있다. 그러나 3전극법은 측정하고자 하는 접지전극으로부터 일정한 거리에 전류를 흘려주고 이때 대지 전위를 측정 할 수 있는 2개의 보조전극 설치가 필수적이나 접지극과 접지선의 단자와는 설치 위치가 다르므로 접지전극의 설치점을 확인하기 곤란하고 건물내부, 지하철, 터널 등에는 보조전극의 설치가 거의 불가능하므로 처음 설치한 접지극의 접지저항측정관리에 어려움이 크다. 또한 Hook-on 측정법은 다중 접지 계통에 사용하는 방법으로 접지극이 수십 또는 수백개를 병렬로 연결한 경우 측정하고저 하는 접지그의 접지저항값에 비해 나머지 접지전극 전체의 합성저항이 무시할 수 있을 만큼 적은 경우에만 측정할 수 있으므로 건물이나 변전실 등 수개의 접지극이 설치된 경우는 사용할 수 없다. 본 연구는 보조전극을 설치하지 않고 측정하고자하는 접지전극 상호간의 전류분배 비율을 저항의 역수 비율로 하여 각각의 접지 전극의 접지저항값을 운전 중인 상태에서 간단하고 정확하게 측정할 수 있는 새로운 접지저항 측정 방법에 관한 연구이다.

Smaller size and higher integration of electronic components make smaller gap between metal conducting layers in electronic package. Under harsh environmental conditions (high temperature/humidity), electronic component respond to applied voltages by electrochemically ionization of metal and metal filament formation, which lead to short failure and this phenomenon is termed electrochemical migration(ECM). In this work, printed circuit board(PCB) is used for determination of ECM characteristics. Copper leads of PCB are soldered by eutectic solder alloys. Insulation breakdown time is measured at $85^{\circ}C,\;85{\%}RH$. CAF is the main mechanism of ECM at PCB. Pb is more susceptible to CAF rather than Sn, which corresponds well to the corrosion resistance of solder materials in aqueous environment. Polarization tests in chloride or chloride-free solutions fur pure metal and eutectic solder alloys are performed to understand ECM characteristics. Lifetime results show well defined log-normal distribution which resulted in biased voltage factor(n=2) by voltage scaling. Details on migration mechanism and lifetime statistics will be presented and discussed.

Cold-junction correction(CJC) and disconnection detection circuit design of various thermocouples(TC) and multi-channel TC interface circuit using them were designed. The CJC and disconnection detection circuit consists of a CJC semiconductor device, an instrumentation amplifier(IA), two resistors and a diode for disconnection detection. Based on the basic circuit, a multi-channel interface circuit was also implemented. The CJC was implemented using compensation semiconductor and IA, and disconnection detection was detected by using two resistor and a diode so that IA input voltage became -0.42V. As a result of the experiment using R-type TC, the error of the designed circuit was reduced from 0.14mV to 3㎶ after CJC in the temperature range of 0℃ to 1400℃. In addition, it was confirmed that the output voltage of IA was saturated from 88mV to -14.2V when TC was disconnected from normal. The output voltage of the designed circuit was 0V to 10V in the temperature range of 0℃ to 1400℃. The results of the 4-channel interface experiment using R-type TC were almost identical to the CJC and disconnection detection results for each channel. The implemented multi-channel interface has a feature that can be applied equally to E, J, K, T, R, and S-type TCs by changing the terminals of CJC semiconductor devices and adjusting the IA gain.

The proportional-integral-derivative(PID) controller has been widely used in the industry because of its robust performance and simple structure in a wide range of operating conditions. However, the AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator) as a control system is not robust to variations of the power system parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to use PID controller to increase the stability and performance of the AVR system. In this paper, a novel design method for determining the optimal PID controller parameters of an AVR system using the particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm is presented. The proposed approach has superior features, including easy implementation, stable convergence characteristic and good computational efficiency. In order to assist estimating the performance of the proposed PSO-PID controller, a new performance criterion function is also defined. This evaluation function is intended to reflect when the maximum percentage overshoot, the settling time are given as design specifications. The ITAE evaluation function should impose a penalty if the design specifications are violated, so that the PSO algorithm satisfies the specifications when searching for the PID controller parameter. Finally, through the computer simulations, the proposed PSO-PID controller not only satisfies the given design specifications for the terminal voltage step response, but also shows better control performance than other similar recent studies.

The performance of an electrometer directly affects on the accuracy and precision in radiation dosimetry. This study is to list of the quality control for maintaining performance and to perform evaluation tests of an electrometer. Performance tests selected include proper polarizing voltages, warm-up and equalization time, leakages, long-term stability, linearity, and effect of ambient conditions. An electrometer connected with a rigid stem ionization chamber was evaluated with a Strontium-90 check device. Bias voltage was measured directly on the input socket. Equalization time is the time required for reaching threshold of charged state after the power is on or the bias voltage is changed. Pre- and post-signal leakages are defined as the accumulation of signal with no exposure and after exposure, respectively. Over three months period, the electrometer's long-term stability was measured by comparison of the temperature-pressure corrected readings. Linearity was expressed as the deviation of readings from multiple short exposures from one continuous exposure. Effect of ambient conditions was expressed as the zero drift of the electrometer over 17-34$^{\circ}C$ temperature ranges. For two nominal values, 300 and 500 volts, measured voltages were lower by 2.5 and 5.8%, respectively. The warm-up time, 20 minutes, was longer than the lamp time by 9 minutes and the equalization time was less than 1 minute. Without exposure, the zero-drift was 0.002 scale-unit in 15 minutes and the leakage after 10 minutes exposure was minimal. The IQ-4 was stable over 99.4% for three-month periods. Deviation from the linearity was 0.9% for measurement scale, 0.000-9.991. Over 17-34$^{\circ}C$ temperature range, the zero-drift was minimal, less than 0.2%. For a clinically-used electrometer, a list for the basic peformance evaluations is proposed. By running this program, the measurement error using an electrometer can be reduced and in turn the improvement in accuracy and precision of radiation dosimetry can be achieved.
