Recently, the Inverter type X-ray generator is rapidly replacing the conventional single-phase or three-phase X-ray generator, it has several merits of space-saving: high accuracy and reproducibility. This paper presents a 40kw(12kV, 80mA) high tension generator system for diagnosis X-ray. The control circuit and design consideration of the proposed high tension power supply are given. Issues in the design of high voltage isolating transformer are discussed. Experimental results are presented to verify the performance of the designed power supply for varying load conditions. 1'he proposed apparatus has several advantages, e. g., the fast rising time of tube voltage, accuracy and reduced component size etc.

This paper presents new double-sided 3-dB branch-line coupler using CPW-to-Microstrip via-hole transitions for the multi-layer applications. The characteristic impedance is obtained using the even-odd mode method, and the circuit performance Is accurately estimated by the Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD) method. The fabricated double-sided 3-dB branch-line coupler has less than 0.3 dB power dividing imbalance and 1。 phase imbalance, greater than 30 dB isolation, and 25 dB return loss over a 20% bandwidth centered at 2 GHz. Calculated and fabricated results show that this coupler provides better performance as compared to the conventional microstrip branch-line couplers.

In this paper, the prototype of one-channel gamma-ray spectroscope for automatic radiopharmaceutical systhesis system was designed and characterized. The prototype employed CZT (CdZnTe) spear detector for gamma-ray detection and employed analog-type signal processing method. A radioactive sample Co-60 was used for measuring performance of the gamma-ray spectroscope and energy spectrum is gained with bandwidth of 1173keV. The analog board is made up of SF (shaping filter) and PHA (peak and hold amplifier) for shaping CZT output signal appropriately and ADC (analog to digital converter) and FPGA (field programmable gate array) for drawing gamma-ray spectrum by counting the digitalized gamma-ray signal data.

본 논문에서는 콤팩트 형광램프용 Dimming형 전자식 안정기의 설계에 있어서, 인버터 공진탱크의 커패시턴스값을 변화시킬 때 전압이득곡선을 분석하여 최적의 회로정수를 결정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 하프브리지 인버터회로의 회로정수에 대한 PSpice 시뮬레이션을 행하여 램프전압과 전류값을 구하였고, 실제 전자식 안정기를 제가하고 시동특성과 조광특성을 비교분석하였다. 시동특성은 일반 전자식 안정기와 거의 동일하였으며, 조광특성은 전체 광출력의 5%까지 안정동작되어, 제안된 방법이 뛰어남을 확인하였다.

The gas electron multiplier placed in the drift volume of conventional gas detectors, is a conceptually simple device for producing a large gas gain by concentrating the drift electric field over a very short distance to the point that electron avalanching occurs(〉 10$^4$ V/cm), greatly increasing the number of drifting electrons. This device consists of a thin insulating foil of several tens of urn in thickness. covered on each side with a thin metal layer(Cu), with tiny holes, usually 100 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ or less in diameter. and with a spacing of 100-200 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ through the entire foil. perforated by using chemical etching or high-powered laser beam technique In this study, we have investigated its operating properties with various experimental conditions, and demonstrated the possibility of using this device as a digital X-ray imaging sensor, by acquiring X-ray images based on the scintillation properties of the gas electron multiplier with standard CCD camera.

This paper presents a PUF circuit based on the randomness of crosstalk magnitudes in adjacent transmission lines. Conventional PUF circuitry suffers the reliability problem where a consistent output value is not guaranteed due to environmental changes, such as power supply voltage and operating temperature. The proposed circuit consists of three transmission lines. The crosstalk difference between two transmission line pairs can be arbitrary. The proposed circuit compares the crosstalk differences between two transmission line pairs, and yields consistent responses. The crosstalk differences are immune to operating environment changes. The proposed PUF circuit provides with reliable responses for given challenges. It can be utilized by security systems such as authentication and encryption.

We have studied the dosimetric properties of electron beam using Lyon intraoperative device for intraoperative radiation therapy. The dosimetry data had compiled in such a way that a quick and correct decision regarding the cone shape, energy, and accurate calculations could be made. Using 3 dimensional water phantom, we have got the following data: cone output ratios, surface dose, $d_{max}$, $d_{90}$, flatness, symmetry, beam profiles, isodose curve, and SSD correction factors. The cone output ratios were measured with straight and bevelled cone, respectively. As the cone size and the energy were reduced, the cone output ratios decreased rapidly. With the flattening filter, the surface dose increased by electron beam to $85.3\%$, $89.2\%$, and $93.4\%$, for 6 MeV, 9 MeV, and 12 MeV, respectively. It is important to increase the surface dose to $90\%$ or more. Inspite of diminishing dose rate and beam penetration, this flattening filter increases the treatment volume significantly. With the combination of the three levels collimation and the flattening filter, we achieved good homogeneity of the beam and better flatness and the diameter of the 90$\%$ isodose curve was increased. It is important to increase the area that is included in the $90\%$ isodose level. The value of measured and calculated SSD correction factors did not agree over the clinically important range from 100 cm to 110 cm.

The propagation characteristics of novel grating-assisted multimode interference (GA-MMI) coupler are explicitly and theoretically investigated by using longitudinal modal transmission-line theory (L-MTLT). The coupling efficiency of GA-MMI coupler is evaluated along the variation of grating thickness and duty cycle, and the spectrum is analyzed numerically. The numerical results reveal that the coupling length and the efficiency of $2{\times}2$ GA-MMI coupler along the variation of grating structure have low tolerance and the bandwidth varies dramatically along the output states.

In this paper, bias control circuit structure have been employed to improve the power added efficiency of the CMOS class-E power amplifier on low input power level. The gate and drain bias voltage has been controlled with the envelope of the input RF signal. The proposed CMOS class-E power amplifier using bias controlled circuit has been improved the PAE on low output power level. The operating frequency is 2.14GHz and the output power is 22dBm to 25dBm. In addition to, it has been evident that the designed the structure has showed more than a 80% increase in PAE for flatness over all input power level, respectively.
