The electronic equipment which was exposed to high level pulsed radiation is damaged as Upset, Latchup, and Burnout. Those damages has come from the instantaneous photocurrent from electron-hole pairs generated in itself. Such damages appeared as losses of power in military weapon system or of blackout in aerospace equipment and eventually caused in gross loss of national. In this paper, we have implemented a RDC(Radiation detection and control module) as part of the radiation protection technology of the electronic equipment or devices from the pulsed gamma radiation. The RDC which is composed of pulsed gamma-ray detection sensor, signal processors, and pulse generator is designed to protect the important electronic circuits from the pulse radiation. To verify the functionality of the RDC, LM118s which had damaged by the pulse radiation were tested. The test results showed that the test sample applied with a RDC was worked well in spite of the irradiation of the same pulse radiation. Through the experiments we could confirm that the radiation protection technology implemented with RDC had the functionality of radiation protection to the electronic devices.

he photoconductive gain mechanism in amorphus silicon devices was investigated in connection with applications to radiation detection. Various device types such as p-i-n, n-i-n and i-i-p-i-n structures were fabricated and tested. Photoconductive gain was measured in two time scales : one for short pulses of visible light(<$1{\mu}sec$) which simulate the transit of energetic charged particles or ${\gamma}$-rays, and the other for rather long pulses of light(1msec) which simulate x-ray exposure in medical imaging, We used two definitions of phtoconductive gain : current gain and charge gain which is an integration of the current gain. We obtained typical charge gains of 3~9 for short pulses and a few hundreds for long pulses at a dark current density level of 10mA/$cm^2$. Various gain results are discussed in terms of the device structure, applied bias and dark current density.

Light Triggerd Thyristor (LTT)는 HVDC 및 산업용 스위치 등에 사용되는 대전력 반도체소자이다. 일반적인 Thyristor가 전기적 신호에 의해 trigger 되는 것과는 다르게 LTT는 광신호에 의해 동작하는 소자이다. 본 논문에서는 5,000V, 2,200A 급의 4인치 LTT 소자의 제작 및 전기적인 특성평가 결과를 기술하였다. 4인치 LTT의 구조적인 특징은 전면부 중앙에 광신호가 주입되는 수광부가 위치해 있으며 입력 전류 증폭을 위한 4-단계 증폭 게이트 (gate) 구조를 가지도록 설계하였다. $400{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ 비저항을 갖는 1mm 두께의 n-형 실리콘 웨이퍼에 boron 이온주입과 열처리 공정으로 약 $30{\mu}m$ 깊이의 p-base를 형성하였으며, 고내압 저지를 위한 edge termination은 VLD (variable lateral doping) 기술을 적용하였다. 제작된 4인치 LTT는 6,500 V의 순방향 항복전압 ($V_{DRM}$) 특성을 나타내었으며, 100V의 어노드전압 ($V_A$)과 20 mA의 게이트전류 ($I_G$)에 의하여 thyristor가 trigger 됨을 확인하였다. 제작한 LTT 소자는 disk형 press-pack 패키지를 진행한 후, LTT의 수광부에 $10{\mu}s$, 50 mW의 900 nm 광 펄스를 조사하여 전류 특성을 평가하였다. LTT 패키지 샘플에 60 Hz 주파수의 광 펄스를 조사한 경우 2,460 A의 순방향 평균전류 ($I_T$)와 $336A/{\mu}s$의 반복전류상승기울기 (repetitive di/dt)에 안정적으로 동작함을 확인하였다. 또한, 펄스 전류 시험의 경우 61.6 kA의 최대 통전 전류 (ITSM, surge current)와 $1,050A/{\mu}s$의 펄스전류 상승 기울기 (di/dt of on-state pulse current)에도 LTT의 손상 없이 동작함을 확인하였다.

For the performance evaluation of liquid mono-propellant thruster, Vacuum Hot-fire test is necessarily required. An accurate flow measurement is one of the key parameters to the successful T&E program. This paper describes the characteristics of the coriolis flowmeter, explains the cold-flow test using simulant propellant (DIW), and presents the test results. Finally, the cold test results have been verified in comparison with the hot-fire test data.

A ground hot-firing test(HFT) was accomplished to draw a correlation between the pressure oscillation intensity of combustion chamber and thrust response characteristics in a 70 N-class hydrazine thruster which has been developed recently. Monopropellant grade hydrazine was adopted as a propellant for the HFT, and combustion-chamber characteristic length, propellant injection pressure were applied as test parameters. It was confirmed that the decrease of thrust-chamber diameter and injection pressure augmented the pressure oscillation of stagnation chamber in the test condition specified, and the oscillation hampered the pulse response performance of test models.

One of the widely used NDT(Non-destructive techniques) is the ultrasonic pulse velocity (USPV) method, which determines the travel time of the ultrasonic pulse through the tested materials and most studies were focused on the results expressed in time domain. However, the signal of ultrasonic pulse in time domain can be transformed into frequency domain, through Fast fourier transform(FFT) to give more useful informations. This paper shows a comparison of changes in the pulse velocity and frequency domain signals of concrete for various load histories using lightweight fine aggregates. The strength prediction equation for normal concrete using USPV cannot be used to estimate lightweight fine aggregate concrete strength. The signals in frequency domain of ultrasonic pulse of lightweight fine aggregate concrete does not show any significant difference comparing with those of normal concrete. The increases in stress levels of concrete change the pulse velocities and maximum frequencies, however the apparent relationship between themselves can not be found in this experiment.

The M-Method that measures the speed of actuator with counting the number of Reaction wheel Tacho Pulse has the many advantages such that a realization is simple and measuring time is uniform, but it also has the disadvantage that measuring speed becomes worse as the wheel speed goes lower. On the contrary, the T-Method that measures the time duration between the pulses is more accurate at lower-speed and its time delay is smaller than M-Method, but its realization is more difficult than M-Method because measuring time is varying with wheel speed variation. Thought M/T Method mixing M-Method with T-Method is widely used in order to measure the speed in the motor industrial area, one of two methods has been used in the spacecraft design area. Therefore, we try to apply both methods together to measuring the speed of Reaction Wheel, the core actuator for low earth orbit satellite. This paper provides the Reaction Wheel simulation board located in the Spacecraft Dynamic Simulator, ground support test set.

The rubber side could be contaminated using the existing pulse echo method because the ultrasonic wave was incident on the rubber side from the interior of the steel motor case, which could lead to the critical disbond defect. To develop the test method which can be replaced the existing method, the ultrasonic wave was incident on steel face of the steel/rubber adhesive test block. Rubber resonance frequencies measured from the steel/rubber adhesive test block were in good agreement with theoretically predicted rubber resonance frequencies. This paper was described about the ultrasonic resonance method to convert the rubber resonance frequency into the rubber thickness.
