In this paper, a system for real-time or periodic measurement and analysis of RF parameters such as forward transmit power and pilot power in CDMA base station systems is proposed. Such RF characteristic parameter measurement can be prevented from system fault and used to achieve optimal service quality and maximum investment return through cell coverage expansion, subscriber capacity increase and so on. For forward power measurement, the local oscillator frequency for the detector is varied so that the transmit power for all channels can be measured. The channel power measurement can be used to analyze the variation in transmit power for changes in voice traffic. By comparing to forward $E_c/I_o$, the pilot channel power can be deducted, which can be used to determine uy degradation in transmit section modules such as the high dover amplifier. Since an accurate analysis of carefully measured data using the CDMA level detector must be made, the system is designed so that measurement errors due to changes in crest factor with modulation method can be overcome.

In order to maximize dynamic range and to minimize image lag in digital X-ray imaging, diminishing residual parasitic capacitance in photodiode in pixels is critically necessary. These requirements are more specifically requested in dynamic X-ray imaging with high frame rate and low image lag for industrial 2D/3D automated X-ray inspection and medical CT imaging. This study proposes duoPIX^TM X-ray imaging sensor for the first time that is composed of reset thin film transistor, readout thin film transistor and photodiode in a pixel. To verify duoPIX^TM X-ray imaging sensor, designing duoPIX^TM pixel and imaging sensor was executed first then X-ray imaging sensor with 105 ㎛ pixel pitch, 347 mm × 430 mm imaging area and 3300 × 4096 pixels (13.5M pixels) was fabricated and evaluated by using module tester and image viewer specifically for duoPIX^TM imaging sensor.

비정질 실리콘 박막을 태양전지, 박막 트랜지스터, 이미지 센서, 컬러 디텍터 등에 적용하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이중 태양전지에 적용하기 위한 비정질 실리콘 박막은 p/i/n 다이오드 구조를 형성하게 되는데, 태양전지의 효율을 증가시키기 위해 결정질을 형성하거나 실리콘 화합물 박막을 적용한다. 본 연구에서는 비정질 태양전지의 흡수층(absorption layer)으로 사용되는 수소화된 비정질 박막의 결정화에 수소의 희석비가 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. PECVD 장비로 실란(SiH$_4$)과 수소(H$_2$) 가스를 이용하여 실리콘 박막을 증착하였고, 수소의 희석비(dilution ratio)를 변화시켜 비정질 실리콘 박막 내에 결정질 실리콘이 형성되는 정도를 관찰하였다. SEM과 Raman Spectroscopy를 이용해 박막의 두께 및 결정화도를 측정하였다. 실란에 대한 수소의 희석비가 증가할수록 증착률은 낮아지지만, 결정화도가 높아지는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 형성한 결정질 실리콘 박막을 태양전지의 흡수층에 적용하면 효율 증가에 크게 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

The major movement block of the containers have range between apron and designation points on yard in container terminal. The yard tractor operated by human takes charge of its movement in conventional container terminal. In automated container terminal, AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle) has charge of the yard tractor's role and the navigation path is ordered from upper level control system. The automated container terminal facilities must have the docking system to guide landing line to have high speed travelling and precision positioning. The general method for docking system uses the vision system with CCD camera, infra red, and laser. This paper describes the detection of AGV's position and orientation using laser slit beam to develop docking system.

A cantilever deflection measurement system for AFM(atomic force microscope) was constructed by the laser deflection method using LEP type PSD. Design process including sensitivity analysis was presented and the performance of the system was demonstrated by several experiments using a sample specimen with 50nm-step on the surface. The measured displacement-amplification-factor showed good agreement with the expected one with about 8% deviation. The step height measurement data were compared to what were acquired by commercial AFM, and the result showed that there were about 5nm-deviation between the two data. These results satisfies our expectation in the stage of system design.

가시광 CCD나 HxRG 등의 적외선 어레이 디텍터는 천문관측기기를 구성하는 핵심부품으로, 관측기기의 종합 성능 결정에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 따라서 디텍터의 성능을 정확하게 진단하는 것은 관측기기의 성능을 예측하거나 유지 또는 개선하는데 중요한 요소가 된다. 한국천문연구원은 최근에 디텍터 성능을 직접적으로 측정할 수 있는 광전자 시스템을 구축하고 장치를 구동하기 위한 소프트웨어를 자체 개발하였다. 본 시스템을 기반으로 Andor iKon-M 카메라 CCD의 시스템 게인, 최대 포화전자수, 감도, 비선형성, 양자효율, 암전류, 읽기 잡음, 불량 픽셀의 특성을 측정하였으며 특히, 양자효율의 경우 디텍터의 구동 온도에 따라 파장별로 2%에서 30% 이상까지 편차가 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 디텍터의 성능 평가와 그 중요성에 대하여 논의한다.

In recent years, the service design in the medical sector evolves through practical service research and development that can visualize both intangible and intangible service elements in an integrative way and derive innovative solutions to help customers feel the service more important value. With the improvement of personal income, interest in medical welfare and well-being is increasing day by day, and the focus of the medical sector shifts from the concept of treatment of diseases and illness to preventive medicine. In response to this trend, research and development of home health care system, which greatly reduces the time and space constraint of health checkup and health care by combining ubiquitous concept with medical welfare, are being actively conducted, and the needs for improving products and medical environment based on user-centered medical service and user needs in accordance with the Health Care 3.0 Era, it becomes necessary to develop on-site medical diagnostic products that reflect user-centered needs and needs. This study is intended to research and develop a product that sufficiently reflects the needs of users by applying suitable materials and shape for on-site diagnostic product in researching and developing Wireless X-ray Detector.

Digital X-ray image detector has been applied for medical and industrial fields. Photoconductors have been used to convert the X-ray energy to electrical signal on the direct digital X-ray image detector and amorphous selenium (a-Se) has been used as a photoconductor, normally. In this work, we use 2-dimensional device (2-D) simulator to study about physical phenomena in the a-Se, when we irradiate electromagnetic radiation (${\lambda}=486nm$) on the a-Se surface. We evaluate the electron-hole generation rate, electron-hole recombination rate, and electron/hole distribution in the a-Se using 2-D simulator. This simulator divides the device into triangle and calculates using interpolation method. This simulation method has been proposed for the first time and we expect that it will be applied for the development of digital X-ray image detector.

The most troublesome artifacts in micro computed tomography (micro-CT) are ring artifacts. The ring artifacts are caused by non-uniform sensitivity and defective pixels of the x-ray detector. These ring artifacts seriously degrade the quality of CT images. In flat-panel detector based micro-CT systems, the ring artifacts are hardly removed by conventional correction methods of digital radiography, because very small difference of detector pixel signals may make severe ring artifacts. This paper presents a novel method to remove ring artifacts in flat-panel detector based micro-CT systems. First, the bad lines of a sinogram which are caused by defective pixels of the detector are identified, and then, they are corrected using a cubic spline interpolation technique. Finally, a ring artifacts free image is reconstructed from the corrected projections. We applied the method to various kinds of objects and found that the image qualities were much improved.
