본 논문은 철도 차량용 보조전원 장치의 부피 저감을 위하여 펄스 폭 제어가 포함된 공진형 LLC 컨버터를 제안한다. 철도 차량용 보조전원 장치는 가선에 연결되어 객차의 각종 전원을 공급하는 장치로써 객실 내의 전원과 절연이 필수적이다. 따라서 고효율의 절연형 DC/DC 컨버터인 LLC 컨버터가 적용되어 있으나, 가선의 큰 입력전압 변동에 대응하기 위해 스위칭 주파수의 변조 폭이 넓어질 뿐 아니라 제어 난도가 증가하는 단점을 가진다. 이러한 LLC 컨버터의 단점을 보완하기 위해 Boost+LLC 또는 Buck+LLC 컨버터의 두 단계의 전력변환을 통해 Boost 또는 Buck 컨버터가 LLC 컨버터의 입력전압을 제어하며, LLC 컨버터는 항상 공진 주파수에서 동작하도록 제어하는 시스템이 주로 사용된다. 본 논문은 3레벨 LLC 컨버터에 펄스 폭 변조를 적용하여 입력전압 제어를 달성하며, 이를 통해 기존의 시스템보다 부피 저감을 달성하는 방안을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 전력변환 모의해석 프로그램인 PSIM 및 Matlab을 통해 검증되었다.

An efficient fast response hysteretic buck converter suitable for mobile application is propoesed. The problems of large output ripple and difficulty in using of small power inductor that conventional hysteretic converter has are improved by adding ramp generator. and the changeable switching frequency with load current is fixed by adding a delay time control circuit composed of PLL structure resulting in decrease of EMI noise. The circuits are implemented by using BCDMOS 0.35um 2-polt 4-metal process. Measurement results show that the converter operates with a switching frequency of 1.85MHz when drives 80mA load current. As the converter drives over 170mA load current, the switching frequency is fixed on 2MHz. The converter has output ripple voltage of less 20mV and more than efficiency 85% with 50~500mA laod current condition.

정상분과 역상분의 전압이 존재하는 삼상 계통의 전압 불평형은 dq 변환에서 맥동전압 성분을 발생시킨다. 인버터의 동작을 위한 PLL의 위상 추적 능력은 맥동 전압에 의해 감소하게 된다. 정상분과 역상분의 분리를 통해 맥동 성분의 제거가 가능하지만 복잡한 PLL 구성을 갖는다. 본 연구는 불평형 상태에서 발생하는 dq 성분의 주파수가 기본파의 짝수 배만 존재하는 성질을 이용하여 comb 필터를 PLL 제어기에 적용하였다. 전압 불평형 및 고조파 성분에 대해서도 맥동 없는 dq 전압 획득이 가능하다. 기본 PLL 제어기에 단순 시간지연의 comb 필터로 견실한 PLL 제어기가 얻어진다. 제안된 PLL 제어기는 시뮬레이션으로 성능을 확인하였다.

A doubly resonant ultrasonic transducer has been designed as an attempt to increase the bandwidth of underwater transducers. The dual resonance conditions were accomplished by attaching a single acoustic matching layer on the front face of a Tonpilz transducer consisted of an aluminum head, a piezoelectric ring, a brass tail and a prestress bolt. A modified Mason's model was used for the performance analysis and the design of transducers, and the constructed transducers were tested experimentally and numerically by changing the impedances and thicknesses of the head, tail and matching layers in the water tank. Two distinct resonance peaks in the transmitting voltage response(TVR) of a developed transducer were observed at 34.3 and 40.4 kHz, respectively, with the difference frequency of 6.1kHz and the center frequency of 37.2kHz. The values of TVR at these frequencies were 136.5 dB re $1\;\muPa/V$ at 34.3 kHz and 136.8 dB re $1\;\muPa/V$ at 40.4 kHz, respectively. Reasonable agreement between the experimental results and the numerical results was achieved. From this result, it is expected that the generation of the distinct resonances at any two desired frequencies can be achieved through the proper choice of the matching layer to provide the impedance transformation between the transducer and the medium.

In this paper, Mixer using the direct-conversion method intended to use in front-end of a RF receiver is designed. The direct conversion Mixer is an alternative wireless receiver architecture to the well-established superheterodyne, particularly for high integration, low power, and low cost. It operates at 2.4GHz band, and is designed and simulated with a 0.35um CMOS technology and HSPICE simulator. Layout is implemented with a Mentor IC Station. The 2.4GHz CMOS Mixer employs a modified single-balanced Gilbert Cell with additional MOSFET in the output stages to improve IIP2, which is a standard of linearity in direct conversion receiver. Additional coversion-stages's transconductances are controlled by each MOSFET's physical properties. The HSPICE simulation results show that the 2.4GHz CMOS Mixer has voltage gam of 29dB, IIP2 of 63dBm, respectively. The Mixer also draws 3.5mA from a 3.3V supply.

In this paper, the method to detect the IM(Inter Modulation) components of power amplifier is proposed by using frequency down-convertor. Output signals of power amplifier which is coupled by 20dB coupler and divided by power divider are applied to RF and LO of the frequency converter. It could be found the magnitude of IM components of power amplifier as a converted DC voltage which is come from the difference between 3th and 5th IM component. The detected DC voltage values are changed from 0.72V to 0.9V when 3rd IM component level changed from -26.4dBm to +2.15dBm and 5th IM component level changed from -34.2dBm to -12.89dBm as the Vgs of 3W power amplifier is changed.

Piezoelectric torsional transducers have been fabricated to generate torsional waves in a rod. The principle of generating torsional wane is based on the use of the circumferential shear motion derived by axial voltage exerted on the piezoelectric disk poled in the circumferential direction. The natural frequency or the piezoelctric torsional dish has been reduced by fabricating Langevin-type torsional transducers. The natural frequecies of the fabricated transducers have been measured and have shown good agreement with the characteristics predicted by analysis.

열차가 주행하는 선로에 설치되는 궤도회로는 레일 자체를 전기회로의 일부로 사용하여 일정 구간 내의 차량 유무를 판단하기 위한 회로이다. 국내의 경우 사용 주파수에 따라 전원전압 주파수의 짝수 고조파 대역을 사용하는 고속선 궤도회로와 홀수 고조파 대역을 이용하는 일반선 궤도회로로 구분할 수 있다. 이러한 궤도회로가 설치된 선로를 주행하는 고속차량의 주전력변환장치 컨버터는 단위 역률 제어를 수행하기 위하여 전원전압의 홀수 배수의 스위칭 주파수를 가지고 있기 때문에 컨버터 동작 시 가선전류에 고조파 전류가 생성된다. 이 때 컨버터부에서 발생되는 고조파 전류의 주파수와 궤도회로의 사용 주파수 대역이 일치하는 경우에 궤도회로의 오작동을 유발할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 입력 컨버터부에서 사용하는 스위칭 주파수를 운행 구간에 따라 가변시켜 궤도회로 간섭 고조파 성분을 제어하는 방법을 제안하고 시험을 통해 성능을 확인하였다.

The broadband ultrasonic transducers have been designed to use in obtaining the broadband echo signals from fish schools in relation to the identification of fish species. The broadening of bandwidth was achieved by attaching double acoustic matching layers on the front face of a Tonpilz transducer consisted of an aluminum head, a piezoelectric ring, a brass tail and to evaluate the performance characteristics, such as the transmitting voltage response(TVR) of transducers. The constructed transducers were tested experimentally and numerically by changing the parameters such as impedances and thicknesses of the head, tail and matching layers, in the water tank. Also, the developed transducer was excited by a chirp signal and the received chirp waveforms were analyzed. According to the measured TVR results, the available 3 dB bandwidth of the transducer with double matching layers of an $Al_O_3/epoxy$ composite of 7 mm thick and a polyurethane window of 18 mm thick was 7.3 kHz with a center frequency of 38.8 kHz, and the maximum and the minimum values of the TVR in this frequency region were 135.7 dB and 132.7 dB re $1\;{\mu}Pa/V$ at 1 m, respectively. Also, the available 3 dB bandwidth of the transducer with double matching layers of an $Al_O_3/epoxy$ composite of 11 mm thick and a polyurethane window of 15 mm thick was 6.2 kHz with a center frequency of 38.6 kHz, and the maximum TVR value in the frequency region was 136.3 dB re $1\;{\mu}Pa/V$ at 1 m. Reasonable agreement between the experimental results and the numerical results for the TVR of the developed transducers was achieved. The frequency dependant characteristics of experimentally observed chirp signals closely matched to the measured TVR results. These results suggest that there is potential for increasing the bandwidth by varying other parameters in the transducer design and the material of the acoustic matching layers.
