본 논문에서는 광대역 입력전압에 대응 할 수 있는 직류 변환 장치(DC-DC Converter)의 제어기의 모델링 및 제어 방법에 대해서 제안한다. 일반적으로 직류 변환 장치의 주된 목적은 입력되는 직류 전압에 대해서 출력전압을 지속적이고 안정적으로 유지해 주는 것이다. 따라서, 안정적인 출력 전압을 얻는 방법으로서 제어되지 않은 직류 변환 장치에 입력전압을 안정적으로 공급해주는 방법도 고려해 볼 수 있으나, 이릴 경우 입력전류의 변화나 입력 전압이 지속적으로 변하는 경우에 대처 하기 어렵다. 따라서, 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해서 출력전압을 궤환 시키고 이 신호에 의해 직류 변환 장치를 제어하는 방법을 고려한다. 또한, 단순한 제어기를 사용할 경우 그 입력전압의 범위가 소자의 한계와 안정성으로 인하여 국한적으로 한정되므로, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 다수의 컨버터를 연결하고 이것을 프로세서를 사용하여 제어하는 방법을 설계한다. 모델링된 직류 변환 장치는 불연속선형 시스템(Piecewise Linear System)으로 해석되어 질 수 있으며, 아울러 각기 다른 입력 범위에서 동작하는 컨버터들에 대해서도 모델링되어야 한다. 또한 일정 간격의 입력 범위내에서 서로 다른 컨버터들을 동작시켜 줄 수 있는 방법도 고려한다. MATLab을 이용하여 파워 컨버터의 성능을 입증하고, 아울러 실제 회로의 실험을 통하여 결과를 검증한다.

In this paper, a low-power direct-conversion transmitter based on current-mode operation, which satisfies the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, is proposed and implemented in a $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The proposed transmitter consists of DACs, LPFs, variable gain I/Q up-conversion mixer, a divide-by-two circuit with LO buffer, and a drive amplifier. By combining DAC, LPF, and variable gain I/Q up-conversion mixer with a simple current mirror configuration, the transmitter's power consumption is reduced and its linearity is improved. The drive amplifier is a cascode amplifier with gain controls and the 2.4GHz I/Q differential LO signals are generated by a divide-by-two current-mode-logic (CML) circuit with an external 4.8GHz input signal. The implemented transmitter has 30dB of gain control range, 0dBm of maximum transmit output power, 33dBc of local oscillator leakage, and 40dBc of the transmit third harmonic component. The transmitter dissipates 10.2mW from a 1.2V supply and the die area of the transmitter is $1.76mm{\times}1.26mm$.

A coaxial band rejection filter is designed and fabricated for a beam interacting cavity. The proposed filter has a quarter wavelength choke for the dominant mode of the cavity. The equivalent circuit of the coaxial band rejection filter is presented and the ABCD parameter os each part is derived to obtain the ABCD parameter of the entire filter. The scattering matrix was obtained from the ABCD matrix and the was simulated by MATLAB using the obtained scattering matrix. The coaxial band rejection filter structure was simulated using HFSS, and the results confirmed the simulation using the equivalent circuit was useful. The designed coaxial band rejection filter was fabricated with 6-1/8 flange. The fabricated filter was measured using a transition from 6-1/8 flange to N-type flange. The insertion loss of the fabricated filter is greater than 25 dB in the dominant mode of the cavity and less than 0.25 dB in the first higher order mode. The measurement results are in good agreement with the simulated results and meet the design specification.

Recently, it has been observed in the East Sea that temperature increases below the thermocline, and dissolved oxygen increase in the intermediate layer but decrease below it. The layer of minimum dissolved oxygen deepens and the bottom homogeneous layer in oxygen becomes thinner. It emerges very probably that these changes are induced by the mode change of deep water formation associated with global warming. To further support this hypothesis, a one-dimensional model experiment is performed. First, a thermal profile is obtained by injecting a cold and high oxygen deep water into the bottom layer, say the bottom mode. Then, two thermal profiles are obtained from the bottom mode profile by assuming that either all the deep water introduce into the intermediate layer has been initiated, say the intermediate mode, or that only a part of the deep water has been initiated into the intermediate layer, say the intermediate-bottom mode. The results, from the intermediate-bottom mode experiment are closest to the observed results. They show quite well the tendency for oxygen to increase in the intermediate layer and the simultaneous thinning of the bottom homogeneous layer in oxygen. Therefore, it can be said that the recently observed slow variation of the thermal structure might be associated with changes in the deep water formation from the bottom mode to the intermediate-bottom mode.

An experimental procedure to identify failure modes of impact damage using sensor signals and to analyze their general features is examined. A series of low-velocity impact tests from low energy to damage-induced high energy were performed on the instrumented drop weight impact tester to monitor the stress wave signals due to failure modes such as matrix cracking, delamination, and fiber breakage. The wavelet transform(WT) and Short Time Fourier Transform(STFT) are used to decompose the piezoelectric sensor signals in this study. The extent of the damage in each case was examined by means of a conventional ultrasonic C-scan. The PVDF sensor signals are shown to carry important information regarding the nature of the impact process that can be extracted from the careful signal processing and analysis.

Since the high quality digital TV systems are broadly deployed in the market, the digital video contents will be edited and distributed in MPEG-2 MP@HL fonnat. Due to its impressive coding efficiency, the H.264/AVC codec has rapidly replaced the MPEG-4 SP codec for mobile digital video terminal with low quality. For the bro ad distribution of digitial video contents produced in MPEG-2 format, the MPEG-2 to H.264/AVC transcoding is highly necessary nowadays. In this paper, we propose a fast intra MB prediction mode decision method to reduce the computational complexity in the transcoding, which is the main bottleneck in the transcoders. The proposed method is based on the several relationships such as DCT coefficients and edge orientation, correlation between prediction directions in the $Intra16{\times}16$ and $Intra4{\times}4$ modes, correlation between edge-orientations of luminance an d chrominance components. The simulation results show that the proposed method can reduce the computational complexity upto 70% and 40%, compared with the cascaded transcoder and the well-known fast intraframe transc oder, respectively.

A key factor in the study of hybrid vehicle is to enhance the usability of energy. The paper introduces the monitor and controlling technology of hybrid vehicle that can process the relevant information considering the structure of power system and driving strategies simultaneously, and can monitor its results. This technology, so called HEV algorithm analysis, has been applied to PRIUS THS made by Toyota Co. LTD. This model is adapted to parallel hybrid type. It has a somewhat comlex structure, but has several merits. It's energy loss is lower when conversing. and also it is easily applied to the conventional vehicle having a gasoline engine without any overall changing of its structure, and so on. This monitor and controlling technology is very useful to study on the various driving strategies of hybrid vehicle for maximizing the usability between engine and electric motor.

A CMOS multi-channel low-voltage current mode filter circuit is designed. The designed current-mode filter is based on linear cascode current-mode integrator that is newly proposed in this paper. When it is compared with that of the typical current-mirror type current-mode integrator, the proposed linear cascode current-mode integrator achieves high current gain and unity gain frequency. The designed filter is composed with 5th Chebyshev function and converted to active version by signal flow graph method. We verified that the designed filter can be applied to three-channel basedband, bluetooth, DECT and WCDMA with 0.51MHz~7.03MHz frequency tuning range by Hspice simulation using 1.8V-$0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology.

In order to inspect the piping effectively, one of the important components in the facility of power plants, the ultrasonic guided wave was generated by a tomb transducer and was received in a non-contact fashion by using an air-coupled transducer. The guided wave modes that ran be generated by the comb transducer in piping are predicted from the theoretical dispersion curves and the element spacing of a comb transducer. Moreover, to receive the specific modes, the receiving angle of the air-coupled transducer is calculated from Snell's law between the phase velocities of guided waves and the sound velocity of air. The guided wave modes obtained in experiments are identified from the result of time-frequency analysis such as wavelet transform and two-dimensional fast Fourier transform.
