In this paper, using phase locked loop(PLL) synthesizer, we introduce a novel but simple and low cost frequency modulation(FM) circuit of a flat peak frequency deviation fur modulation signal whose frequency covers from outside to inside of the loop-bandwidth of PLL. The FM circuit was basically designed to compensate an amount of feedback of the loop filter in PLL. The circuit also includes the capability of the adjustment of peak frequency deviation and of blocking the intereference with the loop filter. The designed circuit was successfully implemented and showed the flat frequency deviation as expected in the design. In addition, the novel measurement method of the wideband FM modulation index is suggested verified With the suggest measurement, it can be successfully shown the designed circuit has the expected frequency deviation.

Instantaneous frequencies (IF) of the AM-FM signal is estimated based on the inflection point detection (IPD) method. Local maxima/minima are detected using the IPD, and they are exploited to find the IF of AM and FM components, respectively. The envelope of the maxima/minima is obtained to estimate the IF of the AM part. And the distance between neighboring maxima (or minima) is used to estimate the IF of the FM component. Computer simulation shows that the proposed method properly estimates the IF of the AM and FM when the signal has fixed frequencies for both parts. In the case of the time-varying IF of the FM part, the estimated IF shows some deviation from the true IF due to the rough sampling effect of the maximum/minimum points. Thus, the post-processing such as the lowpass filtering of the estimated IF is required to refine the resulting IF estimation.

최근 컴퓨터 시스템에서는 동작 주파수 증가에 따른 전력 소모량과 높은 온도문제로 인해 CPU의 성능에만 의존할 수는 없는 상황이다. 이에 따라 GPU 병렬처리 연산능력을 CPU의 범용 데이터 처리에 이용하는 기술에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 하지만 CPU와 GPU의 모든 자원을 활용하기에는 이에 따른 높은 온도와 전력 상승이 문제가 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 GPU의 전력효율과 성능 측면에서 최적이 되는 동작 주파수에 대한 분석을 수행하고자 한다. GPU를 활용하는 API인 CUDA를 이용하여 GPU의 동작 주파수 변화에 따른 성능 변화, 전력 변화 그리고 Energy Delay에 대해서 분석한다. 실험을 통한 분석 결과 동작 주파수의 증가에 따라 성능은 최대 30%이상 증가했고, 전력소모량은 최대 약18%의 증가를 보여주었다. 또한 Energy Delay도 최대 21% 향상되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

인간의 집중도 변화를 평가하기 위하여 피험자에게 암산과제를 부가하고 뇌파신호를 전두엽(Fpl, Fp2)으로부터 측정하였다. alpha band의 최대 peak 주파수 변화를 compressed spectral array를 사용하여 관찰하고 theta(3.5-7 Hz), alpha(7.5-13.0 Hz), beta(13.5-20 Hz) band 전력을 정규화하여 분포를 구했다. 평가결과, 집중도가 높아짐에 따라 alpha band의 최대 peak 주파수는 낮은 주파수 대에서 높은 주파수대로 이동하고, slow alpha band의 전력은 감소, fast alpha band의 전력은 증가하였다. 또한 뇌파신호의 각 band 전력의 분포는 theta band는 증가, alpha band는 감소하였다.

The basilar membrane, an important functional part of the cochlea, is responsible for spectral separation of vibration signals transmitted from the stapes. In current study, scaled-up polymer membranes designed by mimicking the human basilar membrane were used for investigation of the frequency-separation characteristic. Displacement field formed on each polymer membrane was acquired by Laser Doppler scanning vibrometer and post-processed frequency-wise. The locations of the maximum displacement along the centerline were identified and collected for individual frequency range to produce the frequency-position map of individual polymer membrane. The influences of the membrane thickness and material properties on the variation of the frequency separability were discussed.

For non-destructive testing of concrete structures, time and frequency domain method were applied to detect cavity in underground model and pier model. To interpret the measured data, time domain method made use of tomography which was completed with first arrivaltime and inversion method. In this steady, frequency domain method using Fourier transform was tried. Maximum frequency in the frequency domain was analyzed to calculate location of cavity.

MOS transistors are fabricated and evaluated for RF IC applications such as mobile communication systems using 0.35m CMOS process. Characteristics of MOSFETs are analyzed at various channel length, width and bias conditions. From the analysis, cut-off frequency ($f_T$) is independent on channel width but maximum oscillation frequency ($f_{max}$) tends to derease as the channel width increases. As channel length increases, $f_T$ and fmax decrease. $f_T$ is 22GHz and fmax is 28GHz at its maximum value. High frequency noise performance is improved with larger channel width and smaller channel length at same bias conditions. NFmin at 2GHz is 0.45dB as a minimum value. From the evaluation, MOSFETs designed using 0.35m CMOS process demonstrated a full potential for the commercial RF ICs for mobile communication systems near 2GHz. And optimization methods of the CMOS transistors for RF applications are presented in this paper.

본 논문에서는 동작 영역 감지 회로를 이용한 LLC 컨버터의 홀드-업 시간 연장 기법을 제안한다. LLC 컨버터는 주로 소프트 스위칭이 가능한 인덕티브 영역에서 동작하며, 커패시티브 영역에서의 동작을 방지하기 위해서 최대 전압 이득을 가지는 스위칭 주파수보다 충분히 높은 주파수까지만 동작시킨다. 그 결과, LLC 컨버터가 가지는 최대 전압 이득을 활용하지 못하기 때문에, 입력 전압 범위가 좁아져 홀드-업 시간이 줄어들게 된다. 본 논문에서는 LLC 컨버터의 동작 영역을 감지하여, 최대 전압 이득을 가지는 스위칭 주파수까지 동작시킴으로서 홀드-업 시간을 최대로 가지게 한다. 제안된 기법을 통해 홀드-업 시간이 증가하고, 링크 커패시터의 부피를 감소시킬 수 있다.

Induction heating method that allows the maximum heating power to be delivered by varying switching frequency in the inductance change of the work coil of induction heater was proposed in this paper. Depending on the type of work piece in the work coil and proximity to the work coil, the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit will be changed. It may be difficult to deliver the maximum power due to the damage of the induced heater element or switching loss depending on the resonance frequency and switching frequency operating relationship. The switching frequency was variable to maintain the maximum power transmission by sensing the heating power due to the change of the resonance frequency. Through the result of the proposed method that can be controlled within the required output change range according to the change of the switching frequency corresponding to the change of the resonance frequency, the induction heater having a variable switching frequency characteristic that can transmit almost constant output power (within 0.43 dB) power efficiency was achieved.
