This paper deals with the active magnetic field measuring system which can measure the time-varying magnetic fields generated by power installations and lightning discharges. The magnetic field measuring system consists of the loop-type magnetic field sensor and the active integrator operated by a differential amplifier. The theoretical principle and design rule of the time-varying magnetic field measuring device and the calibration apparatus are introduced. From the calibration experiments, the frequency bandwidth of the full measuring system ranges from 270 Hz to about 2.3 MHz and the response sensitivity for magentic field strength is 128 $mV/{\mu}T$, respectively, and the calculated B-field values in the center of the loop-type sensor versus the the applied current made with a region of ${\pm}3\;%$error. The actual survey experiments by using lightning impulse current and oscillating impulse current were performed, the results of comparision between the input current waveforms and the magnetic field waveforms are a good agreement with each others and their deviations are less than 0.5 %.

In this paper, on-chp atomatic tuning circuit, using proposed integration level approximation technique, is designed to tuning of the variation of RC time-constant due to aging or temperature variation, etc. This circuit reduces the error, the difference between code values and real outputs of integrator, which is drawback of presented dual-slope tuning circuit and eliminates modulations of processing signals in integrated circuit due to fixed tuning codes during ordinary operation. This system is made up of simple integrator, A/D converter and digital control circuit and all capacitors are replaced by programed capacitor arrays in this system. This tuning circuit with 4 bit resolution achieves $-9.74{\sim}+9.68%$ of RC time constant error for 50% resistance variation.

We present an example-based approach to synthesizing physically simulated Rube Goldberg machines in which a series of rigid body elements are sequentially triggered and driven along the causal chain. Given a set of elements, our goal is to automatically instantiate and arrange those elements to meet the user-specified requirements including the start and end positions, and the boundary of movement. To do so, we first sample small-scale machines consisting of only a few elements randomly, and represent the connectivity between every pair of components as a graph structure. Searching over possible paths in this graph solves our problem by finding a path that can be unrolled to satisfy the given requirements, and then assembling components sequentially along the solution path. In order to ensure that the machine works precisely in a physically simulated environment, we finally elaborate the layout of assembled components by a simple greedy algorithm. We demonstrate the usefulness of our approach by displaying a large diversity of Rube Goldberg machines built with only five kinds of elements.

In this paper, an AccessPoint compact microstrip patch antenna was designed by using L-shaped feeding structure of a Fractal Structure and the compact antenna can be obtained by the rare formed presence of the resonance flow which is called "Crossed-Diagonal". CST's MicroWave5.0 was used for the design. As the operating characteristics of the patch antenna, it showed the characteristic of 1031 [MHz] or 29.4% in the range of 3.202 [GHz] ~ 4.233 [GHz] when an input return loss is less -10 [dB] and VSWR 2:1, also as it is in this paper, we got simulation results such as, gains of the E-plane and H-plane are 8.7 [dBi] and 8.6 [dBi] for this is the single patch, and 3 [dB] beamwidth is $43.9^{\circ}$ at E-plane and $78.7^{\circ}$ at H-plane.

In this paper, a new four-quadrant MOS analog multiplier Is proposed using the quarter-square technique, which is based on the quadratic characteristics of MOS transistor operating in the saturation region and the difference operation of a source-coupled differential circuits.

The multiplier achieves a total harmonic distortion of less than 1 percent for the both input ranges of 50 percent of power supply, a -3㏈ bandwidth of 30㎒ a dynamic range of 81㏈ and a power consumption of 40㎽. The active chip area is 0.54㎟. The supposed multiplier circuit is simple and adjust high frequency application because one input signal transfer output by one transistor.

In this paper, we propose the operation procedures of the 1-channel monopulse receiver which achieves the new configuration. Also, we analyzed the monopulse ratio and the target angle accuracy of the fabricated receiver by using the monopulse signal generator developed for verifying the proposal equipment. As a result, it is apparent that the monopulse ratio of the proposal receiver is equal to that of the 3-channel monopulse receiver. Also, the fabricated receiver exhibits the target angle accuracy with fewer than 0.1 RMS. The proposal receiver achieves the simple receiver configuration and the simple tracking procedures, as contrasted with the 3-channel monopulse receiver. Also, the proposal receiver has advantages in terms of size, weight, cost and power. Because the proposal monopulse receiver requires 1-channel receiver and needs not the signal processor in comparison with 3-channel monopulse receiver which requires 3-channel receiver and need the signal processor.

A dual-mode direct conversion receiver is developed in $0.13\;{\mu}m$ RF CMOS process for IEEE 802.11n based wireless LAN and IEEE 802.16e based mobile WiMAX application. The RF receiver covers the frequency band between 2.3 and 2.7 GHz. Three-step gain control is realized in LNA by using current steering technique. Current bleeding technique is applied to the down-conversion mixer in order to lower the flicker noise. A frequency divide-by-2 circuit is included in the receiver for LO I/Q differential signal generation. The receiver consumes 56 mA at 1.4 V supply voltage including all LO buffers. Measured results show a power gain of 32 dB, a noise figure of 4.8 dB, a output $P_{1dB}$ of +6 dBm over the entire band.

This paper presents a clock and data recovery(CDR) using a quarter-rate technique. The proposed CDR helps reduce the VCO frequency and is thus advantageous for high speed application. It can achieve a low jitter operation and extend the pull-in range without a reference clock. The CDR consists of a quarter-rate bang-bang type phase detector(PD) quarter-rate frequency detector(QRFD), two charge pumps circuits(CPs), low pass filter(LPF) and a ring voltage controlled oscillator(VCO). The Proposed CDR has been fabricated in a standard $0.18{\mu}m$ 1P6M CMOS technology. It occupies an active area $1{\times}1mm^2$ and consumes 98 mW from a single 1.8 V supply.
