In this paper, we present a miniaturized differential line (DL) using inductance-enhanced corrugated ground planes (LCGP) for effective common-mode (CM) noise suppression in high-speed packages and printed circuit boards. The LCGP-DL demonstrates the CM noise suppression in the frequency range from 2.09 GHz to 3.6 GHz. Furthermore, to achieve the same low cutoff frequency, the LCGP-DL accomplishes a remarkable 23.2% reduction in size compared to a reference DL.

In order to effectively predict thermo-acoustic instability within real combustors of rocket engines and gas turbines, in the present study, the Helmholtz equation in conjunction with the time lag hypothesis is discretized by the finite element method on three-dimensional hybrid unstructured mesh. Numerical nonlinearity caused by the combustion response term is linearized by an iterative method, and the large-scale eigenvalue problem is solved by the Arnoldi method available in the ARPACK. As a consequence, the final solution of complex valued eigenfrequency and acoustic pressure field can be interpreted as resonant frequency, growth rate, and modal shape for acoustic modes of interest. The predictive capabilities of the present method have been validated against two academic problems with complex impedance boundary and premixed flame, as well as an ambient acoustic test for liquid rocket combustion chamber with/without baffle.

In this paper, a local DL (Data Line) sensing method with smaller parasitic capacitance replacing the previous distributed DB sensing method with large parasitic capacitance is proposed to reduce the time to transfer BL (Bit Line) voltage to DL in the read mode. A new BL switching circuit turning on NMOS switches faster is also proposed. Furthermore, the access time is reduced to 35.63ns from 40ns in the read mode and thus meets the requirement since BL node voltage is clamped at 0.6V by a DL clamping circuit instead of precharging the node to VDD-VT and a differential amplifier are used. The layout size of the designed 512Kb EEPROM memory IP based on a $0.13{\mu}m$ BCD is $923.4{\mu}m{\times}1150.96{\mu}m$ ($=1.063mm^2$).

This paper describes the new design technique of full wave rectifier (FWR) for precise measurement instrument and the chip implementation of this FWR circuit with measurement results. Conventional circuits have some problems of complex design and limited output range( $VDD/2{\sim}VLIIV1IT+$). Proposed FWR circuit was simply designed with two 2x1 MUXs, one high speed comparator, and one differential difference amplifier(DDA). One rail-to-rail differential difference amplifier(DDA) performs the DC level shifting to VSS and 2X amplification simultaneously, and enables the full range ($Vss{\sim}VDD$) operation. The proposed FWR circuits shows more than 50% reduction of chip area and power consumption compared to conventional one. Proposed circuit was implemented with 0.35um 1-poly 2-metal CMOS process. Core size is $150um{\times}450um$ and power dissipation is 840uW with 3.3V single supply.

This paper deals with the malfunction characteristics of the earth leakage circuit breakers(ELBs) applied by a lightning impulse voltage. In the cases of the regulation of KS C 4613 and the simulated circuits with surge protection devices, the dead operation characteristics of the ELBs against lightning impulse voltages were experimentally investigated and discussed. As a result, all the specimens(ELBs) used in this work have a cutoff performance of the lightning impulse voltage when the differential mode surges were injected at the input terminals of the ELBs owing to a surge absorber installed at the power source side of amplification circuit. Four kinds of the specimens have brought about malfunction in the condition of the lightning impulse dead operation test defined in KS C 4613, and the malfunction voltages are relatively high and are about 5-6.5[kV]. In the case of the simulated test circuit with surge protection devicesthree kinds of the ELBs have led to malfunction. Also the voltage level causing the malfunction of the ELBs is decreased by operation of surge protection devices, and it ranges from 3 to 5(kV).

In this paper, a new process detection circuit is proposed. The proposed process detection circuit compares a long channel MOS transistor (L > 0.4um) to a short channel MOS transistor which uses lowest feature size of the process. The circuit generates the differential current proportional to the deviation of carrier mobilities according to the process variation. This method keep the two transistor's drain voltage same by implementing the feedback using a high gain OPAMP. This paper also shows the new design of the simple high gam self-biased rail-to-rail OPAMP using a proposed self-biased super MOS composite circuit. The gain of designed OPAMP is measured over 100dB with $0.2{\sim}1.6V$ wide range CMR in single stage. Finally, the proposed process detection circuit is applied to a differential VCO and the VCO showed that the proposed process detection circuit compensates the process corners successfully and ensures the wide rage operation.

In this paper, it can be applied to a walkie-talkie, the RFID / USN 920 MHz band(917~923.5 MHz) and WiFi 2.4GHz band(2.4~2.483 5GHz) return loss is 10 dB over the band, on-board dual band with omni-directional radiation characteristics is proposed. The basic structure designed antenna is used meander monopole antenna. It was used as double stubs and tabs for antenna designs that meet the criteria proposed. The double stub and the tab affects the reactance of the antenna to form a common-mode and differential-mode in the stub to improve the antenna characteristics and return loss in the bandwidth, gain and radiation characteristics. The system size of walkie-talkie is $52{\times}77mm^2$, the size of the antenna is limited to $52{\times}15mm^2$, the thickness of FR4 dielectric substrate is 0.8 mm, FR4 dielectric constant 4.4 is used. For experimental results, the return loss is measured more than 10 dB, the maximum gain is measured 1.95 dB, the maximum bandwidth is measured 360 MHz, the radiation characteristic is measured omni-directional. By a walkie-talkie terminal design applying the results of the paper, the handset's price competitiveness and production efficiency can be improved.

In this paper, Current-Mode Class-D(CMCD) RF Power Amplifier(PA) is designed and implemented at 900 MHz. Conventional CMCD PA has output parallel resonator to reconstruct a fundamental frequency component of the output signal. However the resonator can be removed by connecting inverse class-F PAs because even-harmonic components can be removed by CMCD PA's push-pull structure. Using load-pull, inverse class-F PA with GaN transistors is designed, and CMCD PA with the inverse class-F PA is implemented. The CMCD PA has 64.5 % drain efficiency, 34.2 dBm output power. Comparing with the drain efficiency of a CMCD PA with parallel resonator, the CMCD with the inverse class-F technology has 13.6 % improved drain efficiency.

This paper analyzed the voltage induction phenomena on the telecommunication lines by electromagnetic coupling from high-speed A.C. electrified railway. The induced common mode voltages and the induced differential mode voltage on the telecommunication line was measured by notified standard method in the regulation of Korea. The test lines consist of 2 separated lines of 20 m and 300 m in influence distance each for comparison, with 2km inducing length. The analysis is made on the induced voltages from the different influence distances and the different earthing points, and also on the waveform and spectrum distributions. It is proved that the induction is arisen so good and the measured values are fair enough against noise such as the earth voltage differencing, and the current measuring scheme is also rightful.

In this paper, to implement the electromagnetic wave environment and solve electromagnetic compatibility(EMC) problem, miniaturization of ultra-wide band log periodic dipole antenna for measurement was investigated. In addition, in oder to improve the signal-to-noise ratio in high frequency band, balun was connected to the antenna to stabilize the operation of the differential mode antenna and the single mode coaxial cable. To minimize the total size and to increase bandwidth of the antenna, a fat dipole structure was used for the resonance frequency band below 4 GHz and a general dipole shape was used for that above 4 GHz. The bandwidth of the proposed antenna was represented from 0.6 GHz to 8.0 GHz with a ratio bandwidth of 12.3 : 1. Measured peak gain varies from 5.7 dBi to 9.1 dBi, and a half power beamwidth was presented from $29.4^{\circ}$ to $100.2^{\circ}$ in operating range.
