The small infrared image homing sensor is the eye of a guided weapon that has an infrared image sensor that identifies a target on the ground through day and night infrared image processing and searches, detects, and tracks the target. Inside the guided weapon since the power supply and communication line are used together with various components, the part against electromagnetic wave interference is very important. In particular, the effect of CE (Conducted Emission) through the power and communication lines connected by cables is very important. Through this method, it is possible to directly affect other components of the guided weapon. In this paper, the EMI filter and cable design for avoiding electromagnetic interference to the power input through the cable and the communication line are described. Also, the designed EMI filter is manufactured After the CE102 test of MIL-STD-461G, design satisfaction will be explained.

Analog-digital converter (ADC) should be one of the most important blocks that convert various physical signals to digital ones for signal processing in the digital signal domain. As most operations of the analog circuit for sensor signal processing have been replaced by digital circuits, high-resolution performance is required for ADC. In addition, low-power must be the critical issue in order to extend the battery time of mobile system. The existing integrating sigma-delta ADCs has a characteristic of high resolution, but due to its low supply voltage condition and advanced technology, circuit error and corresponding resolution degradation of ADC result from the finite gain of the operational amplifier in the integrator. Buffer compensation technique can be applied to minimize gain errors, but there is a disadvantage of additional power dissipation due to the added buffer. In this paper, incremental signal-delta ADC is proposed with buffer switching scheme to minimize current and igh-pass bias circuit to improve the settling time.

In this work, a capacitive wireless power transfer (C-WPT) system is presented for wireless sensor system (WSS) applications in marine propulsion shafts. For a single Q factor on both sides of the coupling capacitor and reactive power removal from the circuit, a double-sided LCLC converter and transformers topology are designed to drive the rotary C-WPT system for WSS on the shaft. Parallel-connected parallel plate rotating capacitors with a capacitance of 170 pF are designed and implemented for the C-WPT system on a snow rotating shaft. In the experimental results, the C-WPT system achieved a transmission efficiency of 66.67% with 7.8 W output power at 3 mm distance and 1 MHz operating frequency. Therefore, it was proved that the fabricated C-WPT system can supply power to the WSS of the rotating shaft.

In this paper, a compact doppler sensor with oscillator type active antenna operating at 2.4GHz frequency band is proposed to measure the distance or speed of a moving object. The active antenna has been realized by oscillator using radiator, patch antenna, as its resonator. The oscillation frequency is shifted depending on approaching of the object, and a detection circuit discriminates the frequency deviation. The oscillator type active antenna has been designed and simulated. The prototype fabricated has a very small circular disk type of diameter 30mm and height 4.2mm. As for antenna performance, broadside radiation pattern with beamwidth of $130^{\circ}$ and oscillation frequency of 2.373GHz has been measured. Test results as a doppler sensor shows that doppler signal voltage of about 190mV has been obtained for conducting plate moving 1 meter away from the sensor. And, doppler signal voltage has been linearly increased to the ground from 4.5m height by free-falling the sensor.

Ambient-light sensor system, which changes the brightness of a display as ambient light change, was studied to reduce the power consumption of the mobile applications such as note PC, tablet PC and smart phone. The ambient-light sensor system should be integrated on a display panel to improve the complexity and cost of mobile applications, so the ambient-light sensor and readout circuit was integrated on a display panel using low-temperature poly-silicon thin film transistors (LTPS-TFT). We proposed the new compensation method to correct the panel-to-panel variation of the ambient-light sensors, without additional equipment. We designed and investigated the new readout circuit with the proposed compensation method and the analog-to-digital converter for the final digital output of ambient light. The readout circuit has very simple structure and control timing to be integrated with LTPS-TFT, and the input luminance ranges from 10 to 10,000 lux. The readout rate is 100 Hz, and maximum differential non-uniformity with 20 levels of the final output below 0.5 LSB.

카본나노튜브는 상용되는 기존의 센서에 비해 표면적이 넓어 감도가 놀고 응답속도가 빠르다. 또한 나노 스케일의 크기를 가지므로 고직접화를 실현할 수 있으며 기능복구성이 뛰어나 상온동작을 통한 저전력화가 가능하다. 본 실험에서는 아크방전법으로 합성한 카본나노튜브를 가스센서로 제작하여 상온에서 NH$_3$, NO 가스와의 반응 특성을 평가하였다. 또한 origin soot와 이를 정제한 purified CNT를 SEM(주사전자현미경), TEM(투과전자현미경), Raman scattering spectroscopy(라만 산란 분광기)를 통해 재료적 특성을 조사하고 이를 가스 감응 곡선과 연관하여 비교, 분석하였다. 전극에 CNT막을 형성시키기 위해 3g의 N,N dimethylformamide 용액에 CNT 10mg을 분산시킨 후 2시간동안 초음파 처리하였다. 이 용액을 mask를 이용해 전극 위에 막을 형성시킨 후 20$0^{\circ}C$에서 열처리하였다. 이렇게 제조된 origin soot와 purified CNT센서는 flow system을 이용하여 측정하였고 $N_2$분위기 하에서 센서를 안정화시킨 후 측정가스와의 반응을 살펴보았다 센서의 반응속도, 회복속도, 감도 등의 측정결과 origin soot는 NH$_3$ 25ppm에서 20%, purified CNT는 1%의 감도를 보여 20배 높은 감도를 보았다. NO 25ppm의 경우에도 origin soot가 8%, purified CNT는 0.8%의 감도를 보여 10배 높은 감도를 보였다. 이는 탄소입자가 많은 origin soot가 purified CNT 보다 표면적이 넓어 보다 많은 가스 흡착 싸이트를 가지기 때문이다. 하지만 origin soot는 반응시간과 회복속도가 Purified CNT 보다 2배 이상 느려 표면적 증가에 따른 가스 흡착과 탈착 능력이 떨어짐을 알 수 있었다. 또한 CNT와 가스사이의 전하 이동 방향에 따라 NH$_3$는 양의 감도를 NO는 음의 감도를 보였다 이는 전하의 이동 방향에 따라 전하와 캐리어 사이의 결합 및 해리가 일어나게 되고 결국 카본나노튜브 내의 캐리어 수를 증감시킴에 따라 나타나는 현상이다. 이러한 가스의 감도는 농도에 따라 증가하였으며 origin soot를 이용하여 1ppm이하의 NH$_3$ 가스를 검출할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose CNN-based HMI system using Doppler radar and voice sensor, and present hardware design and implementation results. To overcome the limitation of single sensor monitoring, the proposed HMI system combines data from two sensors to improve performance. The proposed system exhibits improved performance by 3.5% and 12% compared to a single radar and voice sensor-based classifier in noisy environment. In addition, hardware to accelerate the complex computational unit of CNN is implemented and verified on the FPGA test system. As a result of performance evaluation, the proposed HMI acceleration platform can be processed with 95% reduction in computation time compared to a single software-based design.

$TiO_{2-x}$ thin film humidity sensors have been fabricated by sputtering method and their physical and hygroscopic characteristics have been investigated. The sputtering conditions and sintering conditions affect the sensor's sensitivity toward humidity. AES and SEM micrographs were taken for the analysis of crystal structures, surface morphology caused by adsorbed water vapour. $TiO_{2-x}$ humidity sensors showed negative impedance-humidity characteristics and the sensor which was fabricated by experimental condition 2(rf power of 200W) showed higher sensitivity and linearity than others. Then the slope of the sensor was about $0.794\;K{\Omega}/%RH$ and the response time of $TiO_{2-x}$ humidity sensors was about 2 min. for adsorption and about 3 min. for desorption at the operating temperature of $30^{\circ}C$.

Physical signals generated in the real world are transformed into electrical signals through sensors and fed into electronic circuits. The electrical signals input to electronic circuits are in analog form, thus they must be converted to digital signals using an ADC(Analog-Digital Converter) for digital processing. Signal processing circuits and ADCs that are to be integrated on a single chip together with silicon micro sensors should be designed to have less silicon area and less power consumption. This paper proposed a charge redistribution ADC which reduces silicon area considerably. The proposed method achieves 8 bit conversion by performing 4-bit conversion twice. It reduced the area of capacitor array, which takes most of the ADC area, by 1/16 when compared to a conventional method. Though it uses twice the number of clocks as a conventional method, it would be appropriate to be integrated with a silicon pressure sensor on a single chip since it does not demand high conversion rate.

We designed a silicon pressure sensor interface circuit with digital calibration capability. The interface circuit is composed of an analog section and a digital section. The analog section amplifies the weak signal from the sensor and the digital section handles the calibration function and communication function between the chip and outside microcontroller that controls the calibration. The digital section is composed of I2C serial interface, memory, trimming register and controller. The I2C serial interface is optimized to suit the need of on-chip silicon microsensor in terms of number of IO pins and silicon area. The major part of the design is to build a controller circuit that implements the optimized I2C protocol. The designed chip was fabricated through IDEC's MPW. We also made a test board and the test result showed that the chip performs the digital calibration function very well as expected.
