산업용 조사장치로 전자빔은 활용도가 매우 높고, 대부분의 장치는 국내에서 제작이 어려울 뿐만 아니라 외국의존도 높다. 현재 미국, 일본, 러시아, 캐나다 등을 중심으로 약 1500 기의 전자빔 조사 설비가 산업용 및 연구용으로 설치되어 있는데, 이 중 많은 설비가 공동이용 연구시설 또는 상업적인 전자빔 조사서비스 시설로 운영되고 있다. 산업적으로 이용하기 위하여 철원물리기술연구소에 설치될 전자빔 조사 시설을 위한 전자빔 가속기를 개발 중이다. 곡물 살충 및 발아억제, 식품 저장, 위생용품 살균, 의약품 및 의료용구 살균, 전력반도체 생산 등의 분야에 전자빔 조사 설비를 응용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 산업용 조사 설비의 전원장치로 사용되는 펄스 모듈레이터의 설계, 제작 및 실험내용을 보이고자 한다.

In this paper, we developed the 200-Watts SSPA(Solid State Power Amplifier) for the X-band pulse compression solid state radar. The developed X-band SSPA is consists of 3-stage CSA(Corporate Structured Amplifier) modules in pre-amplifier stage, driver-amplifier stage and main-power amplifier stage. The main-power amplifier stage of SSPA designed by balanced type using GaN HEMT with enough power and gain to generate power more than 200-Watts in X-band. The developed SSPA has performance with more than total gain 59dB and output power 200-Watts in condition of frequency range 9.2-9.6GHz, pulse period 1msec, pulse width 100usec and duty cycle 10%. The developed SSPA in this paper can apply to high quality solid state radar system with pulse compression technique.

This paper presents an analog front-end integrated circuit (IC) for medical ultrasound imaging systems using standard $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The proposed front-end circuit includes the transmit part which consists of 15-V high-voltage pulser operating at 2.6 MHz, and the receive part which consists of switch and a low-power low-noise preamplifier. Depending on the operation mode, the output driver in the transmit pulser can be reconfigured as the switch in the receive path and thus the area of the overall front-end IC is reduced by over 70% in comparison to previous work. The designed single-channel front-end prototype consumes less than $0.045mm^2$ of core area and can be utilized as a key building block in highly-integrated multi-array ultrasound medical imaging systems.

Since unloaded Q-value of a high-temperature superconductor(HTS) filter is very high, a bandpass filter(BPF) and a lowpass filter(LPF) with an increase of pole numbers can be fabricated without an increase of an insertion loss(IL) ; recently a 70-pole BPF is developed in USA. They have an abrupt skirt property and an excellent attenuation level for out-of band. Moreover, they can be miniaturized when lumped element resonators or the slow-wave characteristic are used. Technology of fabricating a HTS epitaxial film as well as a film of a 4 inch area also makes the planar type filter with a various structure and an enhanced power handling capability possible. Recently, the HTS filter subsystems composed of a planar-type HTS filters, a GaAs-based LNA and a mini-cryocooler are developed. The extended receiver front- end subsystems for mobile radio communications decrease the noise-figure level of the communication system and the frequency interference interacted adjacent bands, and increase the efficiency of frequency and the capacity of communication system. In this paper, theory for developing the HTS filter, its kinds, its design rules, its characteristics are reviewed. The feature of the research and market trends related to the HTS filter systems for the receiver front-end subsystem of mobile base station are surveyed.
