A CMOS band-pass delta-sigma modulator(BPDSM) and cascode class-E power amplifier have been developed CMOS for Class-S power amplifier applications. The BPDSM is operating at 1-GHz sampling frequency, which converts a 250-MHz sinusoidal signal to a pulse-width modulated digital signal without the quantization noise. The BPDSM shows a 25-dB SQNR(Signal to Quantization Noise Ratio) and consumes a power of 24 mW at an 1.2-V supply voltage. The class-E power amplifier exhibits an 18.1 dBm of the maximum output power with a 25% drain efficiency at a 3.3-V supply voltage. The BPDSM and class-E PA were fabricated in the Dongbu's 110-nm CMOS process.

The effect of plasma on mono-static radar cross section under atmospheric pressure is demonstrated when the dielectric barrier discharge actuator has plasma layer. The volume of plasma layer is increased by using planar array of electrodes. Because the incident wave has electric field which is perpendicular to the electrode array, the undesired effect on radar cross section caused by structure of plasma actuator is minimized. In experiments, mono-static radar cross section is measured at the frequencies from 2 GHz to 25 GHz. The generated plasma reduces the radar cross section at frequencies above 18 GHz, and the amount of reduction reaches to 8 dB in maximum. The reduction can be controlled by changing the peak-to-peak voltage from high voltage generator. The result shows the possibility of plasma as a flexible radar cross section controller.

Parallel and cross of the electrical power and telecommunication network is become accelerated, because telecommunication equipments are constructed according to road for efficient maintenance of domestic telecommunication network. The electrical power network can generate an electrostatic induction, and is itself transmission medium from electrical transient phenomenon such as lighting. So, transient phenomenon of lightning surge is induced to telecommunication network, and then it is damaged by connecting between electrical ground of electrical power network and telecommunication network. In this study, we found that cut-off of return path current by separate distance between electrical ground of electrical power network and telecommunication network, and cut-off of electrostatic induction voltage by grounding unused leads of both terminals of the electrical and telecommunication network have good effect as the protection methods of telecommunications network from electrical transient phenomena.

This paper analyzes characteristic of the three-phase coupled inductor connected to ac source to effectively mitigate the high-frequency circulating current generated in parallel three-phase boost converters. The three-phase coupled inductor analysis presented in this paper uses the three-phase coupled inductor structure and voltage equations. Based on this analysis, the three-phase coupled inductor is added to the conventional low-frequency averaged model. As a result, the novel averaged model which can reduce the low and high-frequency circulating current simultaneously is developed. Using the zero-sequence component of the novel averaged model, each total inductance to the circulating current of the three-phase coupled inductor and line inductor can be obtained. Simulation and experiment results verify the usefulness of three-phase coupled inductor in parallel three-phase boost converters.

Yoneyama 등이 2001년 기존의 potentiometry 형의 요소 센서보다 우수한 성능을 갖는ampeometry 정의 요소 센서를 제안한 이후, 전자 전달 메커니즘에 관한 관심이 집중되어 왔으나, urease로부터 전극 기질까지의 전자 전달 매질로서 전도성 고분자보다 쉽고 단순한 공정은 아직까지 제시된 바 없다. 본 논문에서는 전도성 고분자로서 polypyrrole(PPy)과 poly(3-methylthiophene)(P3MT)을 이용하여 다공성 실리콘(PS) 요소 센서를 제작하고 각각의 특성을 전기화학적으로 분석하였다. Urease 고정화 전압, 고정화 시간, 고정화 시의 효소 농도, 수소이온 농도 등이 감도에 미치는 영향은 PPy 와 P3MT 각각의 경우 유사한 경향성을 보였다. 감도 특성의 경우, PPy는 다공질 실리콘 전극과 평면 전극 각각에 대하여 1.55 ${\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$와 0.91 ${\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$였고, P3MT의 경우는 각각 8.44 ${\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$와 4.28 ${\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$의 감도를 보였다. 즉, PPy가 P3MT 보다 일반적으로 높은 감도를 보였고, 다공질 실리콘 전극을 사용하는 경우, 그렇지 않은 경우보다 약 2배외 감도 향상 효과를 기대할 수 있었다. 재현성이나 안정성의 경우는 P3MT 가 PPy 보다 우수하였다. 사용 빈도에 따른 감도 저하는 다공질 실리콘 전극의 경우 직선적으로 감소하셨으나 평면 전극의 경우는 지수함수적으로 감소하였다 시간에 따른 감도 저하 현상은 만15일 이후의 감도를 기준으로 하여, 10% 미만의 감도저하를 보임으로써 PPy, P3MT 모두 우수한 특성을 보였다.

In modern society, the number of industrial customers using equipment sensitive particularly to voltage sags is rapidly increasing. As voltage sags can cause loss of information as well as false operation of the control device, it results in the vast economic damage in industrial processes. One way to mitigate voltage sags in the sensitive loads is the installation of distributed generation (DGs) on the periphery of these loads. In addition, renewable energy sources are currently in the spot light as the potential solution for the energy crisis and environmental issues. In particular, wind power generation which is connected to a grid is rising rapidly because it is energy efficient and also economically feasible compared to other renewable energy sources. On the basis of the above information, in this paper, with Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) installed nearby the sensitive load, the analysis of the mitigating effect comparison by types of WTGs is performed using voltage sag assessment on the IEEE-30 bus test system. That is, the areas of vulnerability according to types of WTGs are expected to be different by how much reactive power is produced or consumed as WTG reactive power capability is related to the types of WTGs. Using the concept of 'Vulnerable area' with the failure rate for buses and lines, the annual number of voltage sags at the sensitive load with the installation of WTGs per type is studied. This research will be anticipated to be useful data when determining the interconnection of wind power generation in the power system with the consideration of voltage sags.

In this paper, we present a GA(Genetic Algorithm) approach to select weighting matrices of an optimal LQ(Linear Quadratic) controller for SVC(Static VAR Compensator). A SVC, one of the FACTS(Flexible AC Transmission System), constructed by a FC(Fixed Capacitor) and a TCR(Thyristor Controlled Reactor), was designed and implemented to improve the damping of a synchronous generator, as well as to control the system voltage Also, a design of LQ controller depends on choosing weighting matrices. The selection of weighting matrices which is not a trivial solution is usually carried out by trial and error. We proposed an efficient method using GA of finding weighting matrices for optimal control law. Thus, we proved the usefulness of proposed method to improve the stability of single machine-infinite bus with SVC system by eigenvalues analysis and simulation.

To analyze influences under open faults in switching devices of the PWM inverter and under the isolation between the inverter and motor terminal, a faulty model for the inverter-driven permanent magnet synchronous motor is presented. Even though the conventional dq motor model obtained through the transformation of phase voltage model is widely used to analyze and control AC motor, it can not be used under open faults in switching devices since the 3-phase balanced condition is no longer hold under the open fault and it is not easy to obtain motor input voltages in open phase from the pole voltage. To deal with this problem, a faulty model for an inverter-driven permanent magnet synchronous motor is derived by using the line voltage of motor according to switch open, which can be effectively used for performance evaluation of the diagnostic algorithm. The validity of the proposed faulty model is verified through comparative simulations and experiments using DSP TMS320F28335.
