As the complexity of an electronic device and the reduction of its operating voltage is progressing, susceptibility test of the chip and module for internal or external noises is essential. Although the immunity compliance of the chip was served with IEC 62132-4 Direct Power Injection method as an industry standard, in fact, EM immunity of the chip is influenced by their Power Domain Network (PDN). This paper evaluates the EM noise tolerance of a PLL and compares their noise transfer characteristics to the PLL on various PCB boards. To make differences of the PDNs of PCBs, various PCBs with or without LDO and with several types of capacitors are tested. For evaluation of discrepancies between EM characteristics of an IC only and the IC on real boards, the analysis of the noise transfer characteristics according to the PDNs shows that it gives important information for the design having robust EM characteristics. DPI measurement results show that greatly improved immunity of the PLL in the low-frequency region according to using the LDO and a frequency change of the PLL according to the DPI could also check with TEM cell measurement spectrum.

포항 방사광 가속기 2.5 GeV의 전자선형 가속기는 마이크로웨이브 발생원으로써 80 MW 클라이스트론(klystron) 11대와 입사부에 65 MW 클라이스 트론 1대를 사용한다. 전자빔 에너지의 효율적인 제어를 위하여 고출력 클라이스트론의 RF 전력과 입력 빔의 전력을 정확하게 측정해야 하며 응답특성이 양호한 측정장치와 정밀한 측정이 요구된다. 클라이스트론에 공급되는 전력은 캐소드에 인가되는 전압과 전류의 측정치로 계산된다. 비록 빔 전압측정에서의 작은 오차일지라도 클라이스트론 RF 출력 전력의 결과값에 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서, 빔 전압의 측정시에 정확한 측정을 위하여 특별한 주의가 요구된다. 고전압 펄스전원장치 인 모듈레이터 (modulator)에서 발생되는 수백 kV(350-400 kV)의 전압을 측정하기 위하여 커패시터의 용량비로 입력전압을 분압하는 용량성 분압기(capacitive voltage divider, CVD)가 사용된다. 고압측 분압용 표준 콘덴서의 정전용량을 결정하는 주요인자는 고전압 절연유의 유전율(dielectric constant)이다. 그러므로, 측정범위 내의 전압, 주파수, 온도에 대하여 정전용량의 변화율이 작도록 설계하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 펄스형 고전압 신호 측정을 위한 용량성 전압 분배기의 측정원리, 설계분석, 교정시험, 절연유의 온도변화에 따른 정전용량 변화 특성에 대한 실험 결과를 고찰하고자 한다.

This paper describes implementation of a 165 MHz, 5 kW RF high power amplifier (HPA) for particle accelerator applications. The HPA consists of a drive amplifier for main amplifiers driving, sixteen 600 W class-AB push-pull power amplifier pallets and Wilkinson power divider/combiner using lumped LC components, which are divided/combined power amplifier pallet outputs. To detected the amplifier circuit of normal and reflected output power conditions, we used a bidirectional coupler. To radiate heat of main power amplifier, we were used an water-cooled copper plates to go through a water for radiation of heat. The HPA of center frequency 165 MHz has archived an efficiency of 62.5 % at 5 kW of power level experimentally.

Since the introduction of electronically controlled engines and electric propulsion ships, the need for an uninterruptible power supply for emergency power supply devices that use batteries has gained importance. The bidirectional converter in such emergency power supply devices is a crucial component. This paper proposes, a topology for an improved DC-DC bidirectional converter that is characterized by a high voltage conversion ratio and low voltage stress of switches. To confirm the performance of the converter, a computer simulation was executed with PSIM software. The conversion ratio of the proposed converter was found to be four times higher than the conventional boost converter in step-up mode and one-fourth that of the conventional buck converter in step-down mode, and the voltage stress of the switches was one-fourth of the high-side voltage. Moreover, the proposed converter was confirmed to be able to distribute equal currents between two interleaved modules without using any extra current-sharing control method because of the charge balance of its blocking capacitors.

For conventional AESA radars, DC-DC power modules using 300 Vdc have low efficiency, high volume, heavy weight, and high price, which have problems in modularity with T/R module groups. In this paper, to improve these problems, we propose a distributed DC-DC power module with high-voltage 800 Vdc and high-efficiency Step-down Converter. In particular, power requirements for modern and future marine weapons systems and sensors are rapidly evolving into high-energy and high-voltage power systems. The power distribution of the next generation Navy AESA radar antenna is under development with 1000 Vdc. In this paper, the proposed highvoltage, high-efficiency DC-DC power modules increase space(size), weight, power and cooling(SWaP-C) margins, reduce integration costs/risk, and reduce maintenance costs. Reduced system weight and higher reliability are achieved in navy and ground AESA systems. In addition, the proposed architecture will be easier to scale with larger shipboard radars and applicable to other platforms.

This paper presents a design, fabrication and the test results of planar active electronically scanned array(AESA) radar prototype for airborne fighter applications using transmit/receive(T/R) module hybrid technology. LIG Nex1 developed a AESA radar prototype to obtain key technologies for airborne fighter's radar. The AESA radar prototype consists of a radiating array, T/R modules, a RF manifold, distributed power supplies, beam controllers, compact receivers with ADC(Analog-to-Digital Converter), a liquid-cooling unit, and an appropriate structure. The AESA antenna has a 590 mm-diameter, active-element area capable of containing 536 T/R modules. Each module is located to provide a triangle grid with $14.7\;mm{\times}19.5\;mm$ spacing among T/R modules. The array dissipates 1,554 watts, with a DC input of 2,310 watts when operated at the maximum transmit duty factor. The AESA radar prototype was tested on near-field chamber and the results become equal in expected beam pattern, providing the accurate and flexible control of antenna beam steering and beam shaping.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated the multi band Transceiver Assembly(TCA) for the Multi Channel Synthetic Aperture Radar(MCSAR) containing C-band, X-band, Ku-band and we researched to verify electrical performance of TCA. The transceiver consists of transmitters, receivers, signal selection modules for each band, and stability oscillator, frequency synthesizer, controller, power distributor. The transceiver has a receive path selection and bandwidth selection functions in accordance with the operating mode. And the transceiver can transmit and receive all three bands simultaneously, each band has a bandwidth of up to 300 MHz. Final transmission output of transceiver for each band is over 20 dBm to be suitable for driving the T/R module. Receiver bandwidth is selected according to the required function and receiver gain has approximately C-band 52 dB, X-band 50 dB, Ku-band 60 dB, the maximum noise figure of Ku-band V polarization is 4.28 dB in the whole band H, V polarization. As a result of the electrical performance test, a multi-band TCA is satisfied the property requirements of the MCSAR.
