Recently, a new imaging method, gamma vertex imaging (GVI), was proposed for the verification of in-vivo proton dose distribution. In GVI, the vertices of prompt gammas generated by proton induced nuclear interaction were determined by tracking the Compton-recoiled electrons. The GVI system is composed of a beryllium electron converter for converting gamma to electron, two double-sided silicon strip detectors (DSSDs) for the electron tracking, and a scintillation detector for the energy determination of the electron. In the present study, the modules of a charge sensitive preamplifier (CSP) and a shaping amplifier for the analog signal processing of DSSD were developed and the performances were evaluated by comparing the energy resolutions with those of the commercial products. Based on the results, it was confirmed that the energy resolution of the developed CSP module was a little lower than that of the CR-113 (Cremat, Inc., MA), and the resolution of the shaping amplifier was similar to that of the CR-200 (Cremat, Inc., MA). The value of $V_{rms}$ representing the magnitude of noise of the developed system was estimated as 6.48 keV and it was confirmed that the trajectory of the electron can be measured by the developed system considering the minimum energy deposition ( > ~51 keV) of Compton-recoiled electron in 145-${\mu}m$-thick DSSD.

Analog-to-digital converters(ADCs) used in instrumentation and measurements often require high absolute accuracy, including excellent linearity and negligible dc offset. Incremental(integrating) data converters(IDCs) provide a solution for such measurement applications, as they retain most of the advantages of conventional $\Delta{\Sigma}$ converters, and yet they are capable of offset-free and accurate conversion. In this paper, a design technique for implementing multiplexed incremental data converters to convert narrow bandwidth AC signals over multi-channel is discussed. It incorporates the operation principle, topology, and digital decimation filter design. The theoretical results are verified by simulation results.

In this paper, The high-speed, low-Power analog-to-digital conversion structure is proposed using the pipelined comparator away for high-speed conversion rate and the successive- approximation structure for low-power consumption. This structure is the successive-approximation structure using pipelined comparator array to change the reference voltage during the holding time. An 8-bit 10MS/s analog-to-digital converter is designed using 0.8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS technology. The INL/DNL errors are $\pm$0.5/$\pm$1, respectively. The SNR is 41㏈ at a sampling rate of 10MHz with 100KHz sine input signal. The Power consumption is 4.14㎽ at 10MS/s.

In this paper, a wavelength converter for RZ data which can controls XPM in SOA by using polarization controller within optical fiber loop mirror is proposed and demonstrated. The proposed structure needs only one polarization dependent SOA for implementation compared to previous XPM ones and makes the cost down. And it provides wavelength converted signals with non-inverted and inverted pattern into outputs respectively.

In this paper, We have studied the structure of a Telemetry Transmitter capable of transmitting variable data rates. This paper proposed a structure combining variable pre-modulation filter with cutoff characteristic with variable input sample rate converter. Variable pre-modulation filter has the same characteristics as pre-modulation filter and is converted to a constant sampling rate without structural changes according to the variable input data rate. We propose a software program that actively controls variable pre-modulation filter and variable input sample rate converter to respond to real-time changing data.

The proposed variable pawer divider in this paper is composed of one equal power 2-way Wilkinson power divider, two variable phase shifters with 90-degree phase variation to be connected two output paths of the 2-way power divider, and one branchline coupler to combine output signals of two variable phase shifter. The proposed variable power divider can theoretically have an arbitrary power division ratio ranging from ${\infty}:1$ to ${\infty}:1$ due to 90-degrees phase variation of two phase shifter. The proposed power divider circuit fabricates on laminated TLX-9(h=20 mil, er=2.5; Taconic) with a center frequency of 1.7 GHz. The power division ratio of the fabricated prototype varies from about 1:100 to 200:1, with an input reflection characteristic(S11) of below -16 dB, an insertion loss of about -1.0 dB, and an isolation characteristic of below -17 dB between two output ports in the range 1.65-1.75 GHz.

본 고에서는 디지틀 신호 처리기의 효율적 설계를 위해 필수적으로 요구되는 고수준 논리 합성 문제를 다룬다. Behavioral representation으로부터 structural representation으로의 변환은 복잡도의 문제로 인해 제한적으로 연구되어 온 분야로서 최근 VHDL의 표준화에 따라 많은 연구가 요구되고 있다. 본 고에서는 기존의 제안된 방법을 중심으로 VHDL과의 관계 그리고 앞으로의 전망 등에 대해 논한다.

현재의 통신망에서는 clock recovery, regeneration 등을 전기적으로 처리하고 있으나 처리속도의 한계가 있고, 미래의 초고속 네트웍은 이러한 전기적 신호처리의 속도한계를 극복하는 기술이 필요하다. 그러므로, 고속의 광교환과 광신호처리 등 광신호를 전기적으로 바꾸거나 제어하지 않고 전광으로 처리하는 기술에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있으며 이러한 전광신호 처리에 고속의 전광 논리소자가 요구된다. 초기의 전광 논리소자 연구에서는 AND, OR, NOR, XOR 등의 기본 논리 기능이 주로 구현되었으며 이를 활용하여 Shift Register, Binary counter, 전광 반가산기, 직/병렬 데이터 변환기와 같은 복합기능 논리소자의 구현 연구가 이루어지고 있다.

Homodyne 방식으로 동작하는 광섬유 간섭계 센서는 주위 온도의 변화나 진동등에 의하여 시노의 크기가 불규칙하게 변화된다. 따라서 광섬유 간섭계가 직작조건에서 동작하도록 하여 감도를 최대로 유지시켜야 한다. 본연구에서는 원통형 압전자소자에 단일모드 광섬유룰 감아서 변환율 K=1.07$\pi$/V의 위상변조기를 만들고, 이를 이용하여 능동위상추적(active phase tracking)방식의 신호안정화 장치를 제작하고 광섬유 간섭계 센서의 공기중 읍압반응을 조사하였다.
