The temperature sensor using ring oscillator is designed by 0.18㎛ CMOS process and the supply voltage is 1.5volts. The temperature sensor is designed by using temperature-independent and temperature-dependent ring oscillators and the output frequency of temperature-independent ring oscillator is constant with temperature and the output frequency of temperature-dependent ring oscillator decreases with increasing temperature. To convert the temperature to a digital value the output signal of temperature-independent ring oscillator is used for the clock signal and the output signal of temperature-dependent ring oscillator is used for the enable signal of counter. From HSPICE simulation results, the temperature error is less than form -0.7℃ to 1.0℃ when the operating temperature is varied from -20℃ to 70℃.

This paper describes a high power amplifier combining eight low power amplifiers using a radial power combiner with low insertion loss. The radial power combiner is a non-resonant type combiner with 8 input ports and is implemented by microstrip transmission line. The combiner characteristics designed at operating frequency of 1.045 GHz have an insertion loss of 0.7 dB and a return loss of more than 12 dB. Also, the low power amplifier used was designed with AFT27S010NT1 transistor and designed to satisfy the same gain, phase and constant output characteristic at operating frequency. The high power amplifier, which combiners the radial power combiner and the drive amplifier of 8 W output by driving low power amplifiers obtained the output characteristic of 33 W at operating frequency of 1.045 GHz. Also, the change of the output characteristic of the amplifier using the radial combiner was graceful degradation when the low power amplifier failed one by one.

In this paper, the instantaneous flux Is applied to control the position of the SRG (Switched Reluctance Generator) without position sensor. The position information of the rotor is required in the drive of SRG. These data are generally obtained by a shaft encoder or resolver. In some cases, the EMI(Electro Magnetic Interference), vibration, thermal, and humidity environments may cause the difficulties in maintaining the satisfactory performance for the position detection. Therefore, the elimination of the position and speed sensor is needed. In this paper, a new method for the position estimation of the SRG is proposed. The estimation of the flux is calculated by using the measured voltage and current. The rotor position gets from the flux profile. The output voltage is also controlled constantly by PR control algorithm. These methods are verified by computer simulations md experiments using DSP. Experimental results certificate that the proposed method is able to control the SRG stable, and keep the output voltage constant in spite of changing of the load.

In this paper, we proposed an efficient hardware architecture of line-based lifting algorithm for Motion JPEG2000. We proposed a new architecture of a lifting-based filtering cell which has an optimized and simplified structure. It was implemented in a hardware accommodating both (9,7) and (5,4) filter. Since the output rate is linearly proportional to the input rate, one can obtain the high throughput through parallel operation simply by adding the hardware units. It was implemented into both of ASIC and FPGA The 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS library from Samsung was used for ASIC and Altera was the target for FRGA. In ASIC, the proposed architecture used 41,592 gates for the lifting arithmetic and 128 Kbit memory. For FPGA it used 6,520 LEs(Logic Elements) and 128 ESBs(Embedded System Blocks). The implementations were stably operated in the clock frequency of 128MHz and 52MHz, respectively.

A multi-code biorthogonal code keying(MBCK) system consists of multiple waveform coding block, and the sum of output codewords is transmitted. Drawback of MBCK is that it requires amplifier with high linearity because its output symbol is multi-level. MBCK with constant amplitude preceding blcok(CA-MBCK) has been proposed, which guarantees sum of orthogonal codes to have constant amplitude. Redundant bits of CA-MBCK for constant amplitude coding are not only used to make constant amplitude signal but also used to improve the bit error rate(BER) performance at receiver. In this paper, we proposed a transmission scheme which combine CA-MBCK with $Q^{2}PSK$ to improve bandwidth efficiency of CA-MBCK. The BER performance of the scheme is same that of CA-MBCK in additive white gaussian noise(AWGN). And we showed that BER performance of the proposed system can be improved using redundant bits of constant amplitude preceding.

The paper presents a new method for analyzing oscillation regions of transistor oscillators. In transistor feedback oscillators oscillation region appears as a circle in feedback impedance complex plane. When the resistive component of feedback impedance is fixed and the reactive component of feedback impedance is varied or vice versa, the locus of maximum negative output conductance becomes hyperbola. In transistor crystal oscillators oscillation region is determined by two circles which make real part and imaginary part of input impedance zero in load impedance complex plane. When the resistive compoment of load impedance is fixed and the reactive colnponent of load impedance is varied or vice versa, the loci of maximum or minimum resistive component of input impedance become straight lines.

In this paper, a quasi-resonant PWM converter, which is controlled by constant frequency, has been suggested. As quasi-resonant converter, the switches of the suggested converter has soft switching characteristics, which can operate to high frequency with high efficiency. Comparing with varied controlled frequency of quasi-resonant converter for controlling output voltage, the suggested converter has advantages which optimize filter and EMI filter design at constant switching frequency. The converter has been analyzed by switch mode analysis which verified soft switching operation. Also, the PWM operation and characteristics of the converter are verified by simulation and experiment of 100 kHz DC-DC converter.

A micro-grid including photovoltaic source and Li battery has been installed and operated for several years at the campus of USF and been used as a test bed. Photovoltaic power source has been strongly influenced by the location, weather and climate of the installed area. To compensate for the uncertainty of photovoltaic source's power output, a Li battery is connected directly to the photovoltaic source and supplies electric power to the grid. The Li battery is operated to supply power output to the grid according to the charging or discharging mode of the battery based on the average power output of the photovoltaic source, which is calculated from the monitored data for several years. The grid of the photovoltaic and Li battery system is operated as a severe loading condition and the operating characteristics of PV source and Li battery cells are analyzed in detail.

We have investigated the output characteristics of the 946 nm Nd:YAG laser which is longitudinally pumped by a fiber coupled laser diode. The temperature of a Nd:YAG crystal mount was kept constant by a controller with thermoelectric cooler. As a result, we measured more intense output at a low temperature, and then the maximum output power was measured to be 870 mW when the pumping power and the temperature were 9.95 W and $5^{\circ}C$, respectively. It appeared that output was decreased above 10 W pump power because of the thermal effects in gain medium.

A swing level controlled voltage-mode transmitter is proposed to support a stub series-terminated logic channel with center-tapped termination. This transmitter provides a swing level control to support the diagnostic mode and improve the signal integrity in the absence of the destination termination. By using the variable parallel termination, the proposed transmitter maintains the constant output impedance of the source termination while the swing level is controlled. Also, the series termination using an external resistor is used to reduce the impedance mismatch effect due to the parasitic components of the capacitor and inductor. To verify the proposed transmitter, the voltage-mode driver, which provides eight swing levels with the constant output impedance of about $50{\Omega}$, was implemented using a 70nm 1-poly 3-metal DRAM process with a 1.5V supply. The jitter reduction of 54% was measured with the swing level controlled voltage-mode driver in the absence of the destination termination at 1.6-Gb/s.
