In this paper, an analysis on I/Q mismatch characteristics of a quadrature LC VCO(Voltage controlled oscillator) is presented. Based on this analysis, a new I/Q mismatch compensator is proposed. The proposed I/Q mismatch compensator utilizes an amplitude mismatch detector rather than the conventional phase mismatch detector requiring much more wide frequency bandwidth. To verify the proposed circuit, a 2.5GHz quadrature LC VCO was designed in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process and tested. Test results show that an amplitude mismatch detector achieves similar I/Q mismatch compensation performance as that of the conventional phase mismatch detector. The I/Q mismatch compensator consumes 0.4mA from 1.8V supply voltage and occupies $0.04mm^2$.

Effect of misalignment on the performance was evaluated for the development of time-of-flight(TOF)-PET detector. A pair of TOF-PET detector consists of Lutetium-yttrium oxyorthosilicate(LYSO) scintillation crystal with a volume of 3 mm × 3 mm × 20 mm and Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes(GAPD) photo-sensor with a active area of 3.07 mm × 3.07 mm. Analog output signals from TOF-PET detector were sent to the pre-amplifier and then fed into the gain adjust circuit for achievement of gain homogeneity for each detector. The amplified signals were recorded and digitized by data acquisition system based on oscilloscope. The effect of the detector misalignment between LYSO and GAPD was examined for four different alignment offsets of 0.0 mm, 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm and 1.5 mm for a pair of TOF-PET detector. The photopeak position decreased from ~400 mV to ~250 mV with increasing detector misalignment. the energy resolution and time resolution were degraded from 11.6% to 16.2%, and from 477 ps to 632 ps, respectively. This study demonstrated that PET detector performance was degraded considerably depending on the detector misalignment, which would be a critical issue for the development of TOF-PET detector.

It is necessary to detect the feature points existing simultaneously in both images and then find the corresponding relationship between the detected feature points. We propose a new feature detector based on geometric mean of two eigenvalues of gradient matrix which is able to measure the change of pixel intensities. The corner response of the proposed detector is proportional to the geometric mean and also the difference of two eigenvalues in the case of same geometric mean. We analyzed the localization error of the feature detection using aerial image and artificial image with various types of corners. The localization error of the proposed detector was smaller than that of the typical corner detector, Harris detector.

In this paper, a novel method of minimizing the phase error is proposed. A DP-PLL system using this method is implemented and its performacnce is investigated, too. The DP-PLL system detects the phase error between reference clock and locally generated system clock. The phase difference is then reported as a PEV(Phase Error Variation), which is propoced from the delayted n-tap rising dege clock circuit with 5ns resolution in the phase detector. The algorithm is used to track the optimal DAC coefficients, which are adjusted from sample to sample in such a way as to minimize the PEV. The proposed method is found to have remarkable good potential for fast and accurate phase error tracking characteristic. The algorithm shows good performance to supress the low frequency jitter.-ending points, we design new basis functions based on the Legendre polynomial and then transform the error signals with them. When applied to synthetic images such as circles, ellipses and etc., the proposed method provides, in overall, outstanding results in respect to the transform coding gain compared with DCT and DST. And in the case when applied to natural images, the proposed method gives better image quality over DCT and comparable results with DST.

영구자석 동기전동기의 회전자 위치검출센서를 사용하지 않는 센서리스 제어를 위해서는 모터에 인가되는 전압과 전류를 정확하게 알아야 한다. 일반적으로 영구자석동기전동기 모델기반의 회전자 위치검출 관측기에 사용되는 전압은 전류제어기의 출력인 전압지령 값을 사용한다. 그러나 전압지령 값은 인버터에 사용되는 데드타임의 영향으로 인해 실제 모터에 인가되는 전압과 차이를 갖는다. 특히 고속운전 시 과변조 구간에서의 전압지령 값은 실제 모터에 인가되는 전압과 큰 오차를 갖게 된다. 데드타임에 의한 전압 오차는 회전자 위치검출 오차에 미치는 영향이 비교적 작게 나타나지만, 과변조 구간에서의 전압 오차는 회전자 위치검출 오차를 매우 크게 만들어 센서리스 제어를 불가능하게 만들 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 추가적인 전압검출회로를 사용하여 모터에 인가되는 3상 전압을 검출하여 회전자 위치검출 관측기에 적용함으로써 과변조 구간까지 센서리스 제어 범위를 확장하는 방법을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 타당성을 검증하였다.

The parallel plate detector with dielectric film for dosimetry was designed to measure detection characteristic of 6 MV X-ray with medical linear accelerator. PTFE film was inserted into FEP films that are made by two one-side metal coated materials for ion source. The thicknesses of PTFE dielectric film was 100 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the thickness of FEP dielectric film was 100 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, respectively. This detector was fixed by two acrylic plate for physical hardness ad geometrical consistency. The geometrical condition for measurement with parallel-plate for detector was below; SSD=100 cm and the 5 cm depth between detector and phantom surface The major parameter of detector characteristics such as zero drift current, leakage current, charge response by applied voltage, reproducibility, linearity, TMR measurement, dose rate effect were measured. The zero drift currents are 8.3 pA and leakage currents are 10 pA. The charge response of applied voltage is showing linearity in 414 voltage. The measurement deviation of reproducibility in this detector is within 1% for dose and the linearity of applied dose shows in this detector. The TMR curves in phantom between this parallel plate detector and reference detector are matched within 3% deviation from maximum dose depth to 7.5 cm depth. It is considered that this dosimetric system is satisfactory for the purpose of the constancy check of the 6 MV x-ray from medical linear accelerator.

In the impulse radio ultra-wideband communication systems, the residual timing offset exists when the acquisition and tracking of the timing synchronization is well done. And the offset affects the performance of the system dramatically. In order to compensate the offset, we present the digital phase-locked loop that uses the reference signal in the correlation detection receiver. First, we show the degradation of BER performance that is caused by the offset, and then compensation process of the timing tracker and performance improvement. In this paper, the timing detector in the tracker operates at the sampling period of frame level uses the correlation between received and reference signal. Also, we present the performance comparison by using the computer simulation results for different Gaussian monocycle pulses.

The purpose of this study is to measure such parameters as TMR, OAR, TSF for small beams ranging in size from 12.5mm to 40mm by diode, ionization chamber, film, TLD and to determine proper detectors for the measurement of 6MV small x-ray beams. Diode and film show good results within 2% error for the TMR measurement of the beam as small as beam with diameter 12.5mm. Diode and film have excellent spatial resolution in the OAR measurement and the comparison between two detectors shows the error within 3%. But TMR and OAR can not be measured accurately by the ionization chambers. The TSF by diode and TLD records 0.890.96 for the beams with diameter 12.5mm 40mm. The TSF determined by 0.125cc ionization chamber and markus ionization chamber for the larger beams than the beams with diameter 25mm agrees within 2% comparing with that of diode and TLD.
