In this paper, an accurate method to estimate the measurement uncertainty of a power amplifier was proposed. Because power amplifiers incorporate mismatch at the drain for the optimal performance, the general method is not enough to produce precise measurement uncertainty of the output power. In order to supplement this method, We suggest comprehensive power measurement uncertainty which is utilized by a complex reflection coefficient and measurement uncertainty of S-parameter which contain the mismatch at the drain on the power amplifier. After that, we compared it with real measurement results of the 10 watt power amplifier which operates on 3.7 GHz. As a result, suggested measurement uncertainty could obtain the uncertainty of output power near 10 times accurate in comparison with existing uncertainty calculation method.

In an RFID system, it is desirable to have both the reader and the transponder tuned to the same resonant frequency for efficient data transmission between them. Any difference in frequency will decrease the transponder coil voltage or the internal power supply voltage and will increase the possibility of zero modulation in the reader coil, which results in the reduction of the reading distance. In this paper, the phenomena caused by the frequency mismatch are theoretically analyzed and mathematically modelled. Several schemes to compensate for the frequency mismatch are also mentioned. The derived equations and analyzed theory on the data transmission between the reader and the transponder will be helpful to the development of RFID systems for many applications.

In this paper, self-calibration algorithm based on covariance matrix is proposed for compensating amplitude/phase mismatch in multi-baseline interferometer direction finding system. The proposed method is a solution to nonlinear constrained minimization problem which dramatically calibrate mismatch error using space sector concept with cost function as defined in this paper. This method, however, has a drawback that requires an estimated initial angle to determine the proper space sector. It is well known that this type of drawback is common in nonlinear optimization problem. Superior calibration capabilities achieved with this approach are illustrated by simulation experiments in comparison with interferometer algorithm for a varitiety of amplitude/phase mismatch error. Furthermore, this approach has been found to provide an exceptional calibration capabilities even in case amplitude and phase mismatch are more than 30 dB and over $5^{\circ}$, respectively, with sector spacing of less than $50^{\circ}$.

In this study, a multi-layer cascade (MLC) electrical array configuration method for thermoelectric generator consisting of plural number of thermoelectric modules (TEMs) was proposed to reduce mismatch loss caused by temperature maldistribution on the surfaces of the TEMs. To validate the effect of MLC on the mismatch loss reduction, a numerical model capable of reflecting multi-physics phenomena occuring in the TEMs was developed. MLC can be employed by placing a group of TEMs experiencing relatively low temperature differences in an electric layer with more electrical branches while locating a group of TEMs experiencing relatively high temperature differences in an electric layer with less electrical branches. The TEMs were classified using the temperature distribution obtained by the numerical model. A MLC with an optimal electrical branch ratio showed a 96.5% of electric power generation compared to an ideal case.

The charge pump affects the performance of PLL. In designing the charge pump, we need to consider various issues such as current mismatch, charge sharing, feedthrough, charge injection, and leakage current. This paper propose the new charge pump circuit which is improved in terms of the current match over the existing high-speed charge pump. The simple method used for reducing current mismatch is the technique that uses a cascode in order to increase the output resistance of the charge pump. However the method limits the output voltage range of the charge pump. So the method is hard to apply as the supply voltage is lowered. Thus this paper proposes a new charge pump circuit using an op amp instead of the cascode. And the new charge pump circuit has an excellent current matching characteristics over a wide output range.

Accurate material information is very important in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design. In an integrated mast of a battleship, heat reduction is essential for stealth functionality. So heat dissipation from internal control equipments should be reduced as much as possible. Control equipments mostly consist of PCBs, but it often suffers from impedance mismatching due to imprecise Dk (Dielectric Constant), which significantly increases heat dissipation. In this paper, measurement methods of Dk is investigated. Also, effects on impedance mismatch by Dk variation with operating frequency is investigated.

InSb 물질은 다른 III-V족 물질들과 비교해서 bandgap이 낮고 전자 이동도가 높아, 소자 구현 시 낮은 전압으로도 고속 동작 특성을 제어할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 Si, GaAs 또는 InP 등 쉽게 구할 수 있는 기판과 격자 부정합이 커서 상기 기판에 성장시 많은 defect가 존재하는 단점이 있다. 그러므로 이를 상기 기판에 성장하는데 meta-morphic이라 불리는 성장 기술이 요구되는 어려움이 있다. 본 발표에서 Semi-insulating GaAs 기판위에 고품질의 InSb 박막을 성장하기 위해 grading buffer technique을 도입하며 이에 대한 여러 가지 비교실험과 함께 최적의 성장 방법과 기술에 대해 논의 한다. GaAs와 InSb 물질사이의 bandgap과 격자 부정합을 고려하여 AlSb 물질을 먼저 성장하면서 동시에 InxAl1-xSb로 변화를 주어 InSb 박막이 성장되도록 하였다. ($x=0{\rightarrow}1$). 성장 온도 변화 및 In과 Al의 조성비에 변화를 주어 grading 기법으로 성장하였고 상기 grading buffer위에 InSb 박막을 0.65um 성장하였다. $10um{\times}10um$ AFM 측정결과 2.2nm 정도의 표면 거칠기를 가지며 상온에서의 전자 이동도는 약 46, 300 cm2/Vs 이고 sheet electron density는 9.47(e11) /cm2의 결과를 확인하였다. 실험결과 InSb 박막을 올리는데 있어 가장 고려할 사항인 GaAs 기판과 InSb 박막 사이에 존재하는 격자 부정합을 어떻게 해결하는가에 대해서, 기존의 여러가지 방법과 비교해서 grading buffer 기술이 유효하다는 것을 증명하였다.

The late Quaternary stratigraphy and basal unconformity (nonconformity) of the intertidal deposits (upper tidal flat) in the Banweol tidal basin in the Kyunggi Bay, west coast of Korea has been investigated and established. The Unit I (middle to late Holocene upper intertidal deposit) and Unit II (pre-Holocene fluvial to alluvial deposit) in descending order are classified and interpreted. The basement rocks of the Banweol tidal basin is dominantly preCambrian metamorphic rocks on which Unit II is overlying unconformably. In short, the late Quaternary stratigraphy and unconformity of the Banweol tidal flat deposits are established and interpreted in terms of sedimentology and sea-level fluctuation history during late Quaternary.

저차원 나노양자구조에서 전자적 구조와 광 이득에 대한 연구는 전자소자나 광소자의 효율을 증진시키는데 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 전자적 부띠 구조를 결정하기 위해서는 변형효과와 비포물선 효과를 고려하여 계산하면 나노 양자구조의 전자적 구조를 비교적 정확하게 계산 할 수 있다. 양자우물에서의 광 이득은 전자적 구조에 따른 전도 대역의 전자와 가전자 대역의 정공 사이에 발생하는 쿨롱 상호작용에 의한 엑시톤 결합 에너지를 고려함으로 정확히 계산할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 양자 우물의 격자 부정합에 따른 변형효과와 전도대역에서 전자 에너지의 비포물선 효과가 양자 우물의 전자적 성질에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 또한, 온도변화에 따른 양자 우물의 전자적 구조를 계산하였고, 전자적 구조에 따라 엑시톤 결합 에너지가 광 이득에 미치는 영향을 계산하였다. 양자우물 구조에서 전자 및 정공의 부띠에너지, 파동함수 및 부띠천이 에너지를 가변메시 유한차분법으로 결정하였고, interacting pair Green's function 방법과 energy space integrated function 방법을 이용하여 광 이득을 계산하였다. 계산한 결과를 광루미네센스 측정으로 관측한 부띠에너지 천이와 비교하여 변형효과와 비포물선 효과가 전자적 구조에 미치는 영향과 엑시톤 결합 에너지가 광 이득에 미치는 영향에 대하여 비교하였다. 반도체 양자우물의 전자적 구조는 변형효과와 비포물선 효과에 의하여 영향을 받고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 전자-정공의 쿨롱 상호작용을 고려하여 계산한 광 이득이 온도 변화에 따라 관측한 실험 결과와 잘 맞는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 격자 부정합한 화합물 반도체 양자우물의 저차원적인 전자적 구조와 광 특성을 이해하는데 많은 도움이 된다고 생각된다.
