The technology to predict and prevent an accident of the cable system in power station is required. The techniques of inactivated diagnosis, partial discharge and $tan{\delta}$, have been adopted to diagnoze the operating characteristics of cables, but it is not so easy to find out problems in cables in an inactive state before the cable accident happens. In this paper, we did a research on the 6.6kV high-power cables, installed at Korean Western Power Station Co., Ltd. in order to diagonize the cables, playing a major role at the station. We have developed an equipment to measure an insulation resistance based on the temperature and current of the cable. By installing the system in a power station, we could find abnormal status for evaluation of the lifetime. In the short term, by analyzing the data, we apply the research result to the diagnosis and evaluation of the 6.6kV power cables. In the long run, however, we plan to reduce the cost of the installation and operation of cable systems at power stations.

Among various wavelength conversion technologies, that using the cross-gain modulation in laser diode makes it possible to deal with the high speed signal quite simply and efficiently. In this paper, presented was the applicability of an improved time-domain large-signal dynamic model as a CAD tool to analyzed the characteristics of SSGDBR(Superstructure Grating Distributed Bragg Reflector) laser diodes used for wavelength converters. Using this model, it was shown that this kind of wavelength converter can provide the widely tunable wavelength conversion of the high speed data above 10 Gbps. We also investigated the effect of input optical power and the bias current on the characteristics of the device such as extinction ration and eye diagram. The modeling results show very similar trend to the experimental reports.

A numerical algorithm for estimating precise backscattering coefficients of rice fields is proposed and its accuracy is verified in this paper. After a bunch of rice plants above water surface is modeled with a bunch of randomly oriented lossy dielectric bodies above an impedance surface and the equivalent volume currents of the lossy dielectrics are computed using the moment method. Then, the scattered fields of a rice field with many bunches are computed with a Monte Carlo method, and consequently the backscattering coefficient of the rice field is computed for various incidence angles and polarizations. Finally, the backscattering coefficient of a rice field is measured at 1.85 GHz using an R-band scatterometer system, and these experimental data are used to verify the numerical algorithm proposed in this paper. It is found that the numerical computation results agree well with the measurement data.

In this paper, the test facility for coaxial propellers at low Reynolds developed and validated by measured data. The test equipment was designed to measure the hovering performance of propellers according to distances between the upper/lower propellers. Thrust, torque, rotational speed, vibration, and amperage of upper and lower propellers can be measured separately. The data acquisition system was built to collect signals of sensors, and LabVIEW software was used to control the motor and collect the signal. The hover performance tests of single propellers were preceded for the facility validation, and then the performance values of coaxial propellers were measured according to distances and diameter differences between the upper/lower propellers. The results showed that the high efficiency is achieved at 20%~30% distance between the upper propeller and lower one. The configuration that the upper propeller has shorter diameter than the lower one has the highest efficiency than other configuration.

This paper addresses the application of motor current spectral analysis for the detection of rolling-element bearing damage in induction machines. We set the experimental test bed. They is composed of the normal condition bearing system, the abnormal rolling-element bearing system of 2 type induction motors with shaft deflection system by external force and a hole drilled through the outer race of the shaft end bearing of the four pole test motor. We have developed the embedded distributed fault tolerant and fault diagnosis system for industrial motor. These mechanisms are based on two 32-bit DSPs and each TMS320F2407 DSP module is checking stator current The effects on the stator current spectrum are described and related frequencies are also determined. This is an important result in the formulation of a fault detection scheme that monitors the stator currents. We utilized the FFT(Fast Fourier Transform), Wavelet analysis and averaging signal pattern by inner product tool to analyze stator current components. Especially, the analyzed results by inner product clearly illustrate that the stator signature analysis can be used to identify the presence of a bearing fault.

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)is a one of the nst promising digital modulation techniques adapted for Digital audio broadcasting or Digital TV since it is very robust against multipath fading channels. From 1997, since the OFDM technique was considered as the physical layer standard for the high data rate wireless LAN systems in the 5㎓ band, related studies have been studied actively. The key element to implement high data rate wireless LAN system using OFDM technique are IFFT and FFT modules. In this paper, new IFFT and FFT module are designed and implemented using current cut circuit based on the matrix-rounding process for the low-power consumptive operation and high-speed data processing. In addition to, we certify the available operation of the rounded IFFT/FFT module in the AWGN channel by using the BER performance simulation of IEEE 802.11TGa based OFDM modem with rounded IFFT/FFT module.

The nuclear power plants have been safely operated by plugging the steam generator tubes which have the crack indications. Tube rupture events can occur if analysts fail to detect crack indications during in-service inspection. There are various types of crack indication in steam generator tubes and they have been detected by the eddy current test. The integrity assessment should be performed using the crack-sizing results from eddy current data when the crack indication is detected. However, it is not easy to evaluate the crack-depth precisely and consistently due to the complexity of the methods. The current crack-sizing methods were reviewed in this paper and the suitable ones were selected through the laboratory tests. The retired steam generators of Kori Unit 1 were used for this study. The round robin tests by the domestic qualified analysts were carried out and the statistical models were introduced to establish the appropriate depth-sizing techniques. It is expected that the proposed techniques in this study can be utilized in the Steam Generator Management Program.

This paper presents a new simulation-based analog cell synthesis approach with improved simulation efficiency For the hierarchical synthesis of analog cells we developed the sub-circuit optimizers such as current mirror and differential input stage. Each sub-circuit optimizer can be used for synthesis of analog cells such as OTA(operational transconductance amplifier), 2-stage OP-AMP and comparator. To reduce the time spending of the simulation-based synthesis we propose 2-stage searching scheme and simulation data reusing scheme. With those schemes the synthesis time spending of OTA was reduced from 301.05sec to 56.52sec by 81.12%. Since our synthesis system doesn't need other additional physical parameters except SPICE parameters, and is independent of the process and its model level, the time spending to port to other process is minimized. We synthesized OTA and 2-stage OP-AMP respectively with our approach to show its usefulness.
