This paper describes a novel real-time based optimal Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) method suitable for microprocessor-based PWM inverters. Optimal switching patterns minimizing the performance index corresponding to the distortion between the reference and the controlled output voltages are decided by on-line calculation using the microprocessor-implemented control system. To show the effectiveness of the proposed PWM scheme, digital simulation studies and experiments using a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller (Intel 80C196KC) are performed. The results obtained from these simulation studies and experiments show that the proposed PWM scheme has better performance than the other methods such as the natural PWM and the direct PWM.

This paper describes a ultrasonic signal processing front-end IC for distance range meter and body detector. The burst shaped ultrasonic signal is generated by a self oscillator and its frequency range is about 40[kHz]-300[kHz]. The generated ultrasonic signal transmit through piezo resonator. The another piezo device transduce from received ultrasonic signal to electrical signals. This front-end IC contained low noise amplifier, band pass filter, busrt detector and time pulse generator and so on. This IC has two type of new idea for improve function and performance, which are self frequency control (SFC) and Variable Gain Control amplifier (VGC) scheme. The dimensions and number of external parts are minimized in order to get a smaller hardware size. This device has been fabricated in a O.6[um] double poly, double metal 40[V] High Voltage CMOS process.

This paper presents a high efficiency, PSM/DCM/CCM triple mode boost DC-DC converter for mobile application. This device operates at Pulse-Skipping Mode(PSM) when it enters light load, and otherwise operate the operating frequency of 1.4MHz with Pulse-Width Modulation(PWM) mode. Especially in order to improve the efficiency during the Discontinuous-Conduction Mode(DCM) operation period, the reverse current prevention circuit and oscillations caused by the inductor and the parasitic capacitor to prevent the Ringing killer circuit is added. The input voltage of the boost converter ranges from 2.5V ~ 4.2V and it generates the output of 4.8V. The measurement results show that the boost converter provides a peak efficiency of 92% on CCM and 87% on DCM. And an efficiency-improving PWM operation raises the efficiency drop because of transition from PWM to PFM. The converter has been fabricated with a 0.18um Dongbu BCDMOS technology.

In this paper, we propose All-Optical WDM Buffer System for resolving the contention of Packets in Optical Packet Switching System. The proposed system consists of tunable wavelength converters based on SOA, N×N AWG, and fiber delay lines. This structure can reduce ASE and cross-talk noise because the contending packets are sent and buffered through each different path determined by a wavelength routing. We also performed buffering experiment for two contending WDM optical pulses with each 50ns width, and found that the contending problem is resolved well.

In order to investigate the cooling and heating characteristics of a variable-capacity system A/C applying a digital scroll compressor, the cooling and heating capacities and COP are measured by the psychrometric calorimeter. The capacity of the system is controlled by the digital scroll compressor, which is operated by controling PWM valve and the loading vs. unloading time. In the case of unloading compared that of loading, the consumption power of the compressor is about 11% and the capacity variation of the system A/C is within about 1%. When the system A/C is operated under the cooling and heating standard conditions, COP is nearly uniform but cooling capacity and heating capacity increase at minimum, rated and maximum modes. The system A/C applying the digital scroll compressor is effective for the range with high load or the width of large load variation. When the auxiliary heater is on, at the cold region, the system A/C produces the excellent heating capacity.

In this Paper, It is analysed 5 GHz frequency characteristics that carry out interference experimental under the indoor environments for understanding propagation interference between existing 5 GHz band wireless communication system and 5 GHz band wireless LAN system. The interference signal which was generated by signal generator injected to 5 GHz Wireless LAN communication system measured interference characteristics and This radio propagation main interference factors were classified received power level separation by interference source frequency and interference source frequency pulse period & width separation. It is measured transmission rate according to variable data and packet size for conforming the quality of 5 GHz band wireless LAN system. We measured the packet data loss rate and power level of received signal and analyzed its frequency characteristics effected by interference signal.
