The LC-based digitally controlled oscillator (LC-DCO), a key component of the all digital phase locked loop (ADPLL), is designed using $0.18{\mu}m$ RFCMOS process with 1.8 V supply. The NMOS core with double cross-coupled pair is chosen to realize wide tuning range, and the PMOS varactor pair that has small capacitance of a few aF and the capacitive degeneration technique to shrink the capacitive element are adopted to obtain the high frequency resolution. Also, the noise filtering technique is used to improve phase noise performance. Measurement results show the center frequency of 2.7 GHz, the tuning range of 2.5 GHz and the high frequency resolution of 2.9 kHz ~7.1 kHz. Also the fine tuning range and the current consumption of the core could be controlled by using the array of PMOS transistors using current biasing. The current consumption is between 17 mA and 26 mA at 1.8V supply voltage. The proposed DCO could be used widely in various communication system.

An air-to-ground guidance missile aimed to hit a main battle tank(MBT) should detect a ground moving target and estimate the target position to guide. In this paper, we detect a front ground moving target by using FMCW(Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) and estimate the position by forward-looking SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) via scanning certain front ground section by steering a beam with narrow beamwidth left to right mechanically. Also, by MLE(Maximum Likelihood Estimation), degree of how fast the target approach or recede from the radar can be figured out from the estimated radial velocity of the moving target. Subsequently, we generate a radar image via corrected matched filter from phase history including the radial velocity.

Micro-magnetic detection system is used to detect small particles in an automatic transmission valve body, which signal noise and time-delay may occurs in process of signal transmitting and filtering. In this paper, we present the design and implement of a micro-magnetic detection system based on wireless sensor networks in conveyer belt. Micro-magnetic detection system consists of five modules which are magnetic sensor detector, signal processing unit, wireless sensor networks, system control unit and system monitoring unit. Our experimental results show that the proposed wireless micro-magnetic detection system improves both accuracy and time delay compared to the wired system; therefore, it may apply for wireless micro-magnetic detection system by analysis of packet reception rate.

In this work, we demonstrated a 77 GHz waveguide VCO with transition from WR-12 to WR-10 for anti-collision radar applications. The fabricated waveguide VCO consists of a GaAs-based Gunn diode, a varactor diode, a waveguide transition, and two bias posts for operating as a LPF and a resonator. The cavity is designed for fundamental mode at 38.5 GHz and operated at second hormonic of 77 GHz. The waveguide transition has a 1.86 dB of insertion loss and -30.22 dB of S11 at the center frequency of 77 GHz. The fabricated VCO achieves an oscillation bandwidth of 870 MHz. Output power is from 12.0 to 13.75 dBm and phase noise is -100.78 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency from the carrier.

Timing recovery loop composed of the Timing Error Detector(TED), loop filter and resampler is widely used for the timing synchronization in MQASK receivers. Since TED is sensitive to the delay between the symbol period of the signal and sampling period, the output is averaged out when the symbol rate and sampling rate are quite different the recovery loop cannot work at all. This paper presents a sampling frequency discriminator (SRD), which detects the frequency offset of the sampling clock to the symbol clock of the MQASK data transmitted. Employing the SRD, the closed loop timing recovery scheme performs the frequency-aided timing acquisition and achieve the synchronization at extremely high sampling frequency offset, which can be used in variable symbol rate MQASK receivers.

Fiber Bragg grating which has a blazed ang1e to the plane of incident wave generates a side-mode as well as main-mode. The side-mode has an identical characteristics with a long period grating that couples with a cladding mode, so rejects the special wavelength. We experimented on the side-mode characteristics with two fibers which Ge doped depressed index fiber and very high photosensitive H$_2$ loaded step index fiber according to the tilted angle. Also, using a phase mask equipped with rotation plate which has 0.02$^{\circ}$ resolution, we can control the bandwidth and the peak value of a total loss spectrum by aligned tilted grating in a fiber and using this, tried to compose the ASE band rejection filter of the Erbium doped fiber amplifier.

2008년부터 2012년에 걸친 관측기간 동안 총 21일간 관측하여 AA UMa의 BVRI 광도 곡선을 획득하였다. AA UMa의 I 필터 광도 곡선은 이번에 처음으로 얻어진 것이다. 또한 극심시각을 추가적으로 획득하기 위하여 2005 ~ 2008년까지 총 8일간 AA UMa의 극심 부근의 측광관측을 수행하였고, SuperWASP에서 공개하는 AA UMa의 측광 자료를 수집하여 총 31개의 새로운 극심시각을 결정하였다. 우리의 새로운 극심시각을 포함하여 83년 동안의 AA UMa 극심시각을 수집하여 총 250개의 극심시각으로 주기 변화연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과 AA UMa 계는 $3.30{\times}10^{-11}d/yr$의 영년 주기 증가 위에 58.7년의 주기적인 변화가 겹쳐 발생한다. 주기적인 변화의 원인이 제3천체에 의해 발생한다고 가정했을 때 제3천체의 최소 질량은 $0.28M_{\odot}$이다. 이전 연구자의 광도곡선(Meinunger(1976), Wang et al.(1988), Lee et al(2011))을 수집하여 우리의 광도곡선(2008, 2012)과 함께 각각 주기변화가 보정된 통일된 기산점을 사용하여 광도곡선을 분석하였다. 모든 광도곡선에서 0.75 위상에서 밝기가 더 어두워지는 O'Connell effect가 발생하였고, 일부 광도곡선은 부식에서 식의 깊이가 주식보다 깊어지는 시기를 가진다. 이는 스펙트럼 유형이 F0-F5보다 만기형 별에서 흑점이 부식의 깊이에 영향을 주어 주식보다 깊어지는 AC Boo, TY UMa 등에서 보여 지는 특징이다. 우리는 WD 프로그램을 이용하여 광도곡선 중 B-V 색지수 그래프에서 식 이외부분에서 변화가 적고 광도곡선의 O'Connell effect의 크기가 작은 2008 광도곡선으로 광도해를 결정하였다. 전형적인 TY UMa형 별과 같이, 우리의 광도해 역시 W-subtype의 결과를 나타낸다. 결정된 광도해를 다른 광도곡선에도 적용시켜 광도곡선에 나타나는 흑점의 영향을 살펴보았다. 마지막으로 주기 분석 결과와는 달리 제 3천체의 광도는 검출 되지 않았다.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems utilizing direct conversion receiver suffer from frequency selective (FS) and frequency independent (FI) phase and gain imbalances caused by imperfect local oscillator and low pass filter. In this paper, we analyze the impacts of the transmit/receive IQ imbalances on the system and propose the estimation and compensation schemes for those imbalances. The preamble signals coded by Alamouti scheme in the frequency domain could be used in the estimation of relatively large IQ imbalances with FS and FI characteristics and the estimation results are used for the compensation of distortions caused by the FI and FS IQ imbalances. The optimal maximum likelihood (ML) receiver or suboptimal ordered successive interference cancallation (OSIC) receiver utilizing the estimation results show symbol error rate (SER) performance improvement compared to zero-forcing (ZF) technique due to diversity gain inherent in the frequency domain IQ imbalances combined with the frequency selective channels.

A PLL system has widely used for synchronizing the grid voltage at the grid-connected inverter for supplying power from the PV generation systems. In this paper, a PLL algorithm without both the loop filter and PI controller is suggested for improving the performance of synchronization at the single-phase and three-phase grid connected inverters. In order that the output voltage of a phase detector in the PLL has only a dc voltage, and it approaches to 0 when the synchronization signal is locked to the grid voltage, the feedback signals are determined by using two-phase voltages. After the PLL system with a proportional controller is modelled with the small signal analysis, the stability and steady-state error are investigated. Through the simulation studies and experimental results, the performances of the proposed PLL algorithm are verified.

An approach for robustness recovery of the observer-based control system is presented. The approach is developed by adding a loop with appropriate constant matrix to the observer-based closed-loop system. It will be shown that if there exists an added-loop matrix M satisfying F=MC for a feedback gain F and output matrix C, then the observer-based control systems have the same loop transfer functions as full-state feedback implementations, in other words, the former has the same relative stability and robustness as the latter.
