Direct printing technology is an attractive metallization method, which has become immerging as "Green technology" to the conventional photolithography, on account of low cost, simple process and environment-friendliness. In order to commercialize the printed electronics in industry, it is essential to evaluate the electrical properties of conductive circuits using direct printing technology. In this contribution, we focused on the electrical characteristics of inkjet-printed circuits. A Cu nanoink was inkjet-printed onto a Bisaleimide triazine(BT) substrate with parallel transmission line(PTL) and coplanar waveguide(CPW) type, then was sintered at $250^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. We calculated the resistivity of printed circuits through direct current resistance by the measurement of I-V curve: the resistivity was approximately 0.558 ${\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ which is about 3.3 times that of bulk Cu. Cascade's probe system in the frequency range from 0 to 30 GHz were employed to measure the Scattering parameter(S-parameter) with or without a gap between the substrate and the probe station chuck. The result of measured S-parameter showed that all printed circuits had over 5 dB of return loss in the entire frequency range. In the curve of insertion loss, $S_{21}$, showed that the PTL type circuits had better transmission of radio frequency (RF) than CPW type.

This study presents a hybrid balanced voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) circuit which is suitable for low phase noise operation at sub-1V supply voltages. Half circuits of the proposed VCO use the varactor-integrated feedback capacitors in their respective circuit. The varactor-integrated feedback capacitors further increase the negative resistance of the equivalent tank thereby ensuring stable start-up of oscillation even at the sub-1V supply voltage. In addition, this work theoretically analyses the phenomenon of the increase of the negative resistance. Simulation results using a $0.18{\mu}m$ RF CMOS technology exhibit the phase noises of -122.4 to -125.5.8 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from oscillation frequency of 4.87 GHz over the supply voltages of 0.6 through 0.9 V.

A new and simple method of 3-dimensional circuit modeling and analysis is proposed and verified experimentally for the first time by determining 3-dimensional current flow and 2-dimensional light distribution in blue InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well (MQW) light emitting diode (LED) devices. Circuit parameters of the LED consist of the resistance of the metallic film and epitaxial layer, and the intrinsic diode which represents the active region emitting the light. The circuit parameters are extracted from the transmission line model (TLM) and current-voltage relation. We applied the >> proposed method and extracted circuit parameters to obtain the light emission pattern in a top-surface emitting-type LED. The current spreading effect is analyzed theoretically and quantitatively with a variation of the resistance of metallic and epitaxial layers. The emitting-light distribution of the fabricated blue LED showed a good agreement with the analyzed result, which shows the dark emission intensity at the corner of the p-electrode.

Memristor which is known as fourth basic circuit element has been developed recently but its electrical characteristics are not still fully understood. Memristor has the incremental and decremental feature of the resistance depending upon the connected polarities. Also, its operational behavior become diverse depending on its connection topologies. In this work, electrical characteristics of diverse types of serial and parallel connections are investigated using the HP $TiO_2$ model. The characteristics are analyzed with pinched hystersis loops on the V-I plane when sine input signal is applied. The results of the work would be utilized usefully for analyzing the characteristics of memristor element and applications to logic circuit and neuron cells.

전자부품이나 설계된 회로시스템에 납땜을 하기 위해 인두를 사용하는데 누설전류, 서지전압, 정전기, 적절하지 못한 온도 등 여러 가지 악조건으로 인해 부품의 파괴를 가져온다. 특히 C-MOS로 설계된 소자의 경우는 다른 전자부품 보다 더 민감하기 때문에 파괴될 경우가 다발적으로 발생된다. 따라서 절연저항이 높고, 사용자가 적절한 온도로 제어할 수 있는 인두조절기 설계가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는, 인두 히터에 센서를 삽입하여 이 저항의 변화율에 따라 온도를 감지하고, 주파수 방해를 최소화할 수 있는 Zero Voltage Switch IC를 사용하여 히터의 온도를 제어하였다. 또한, 사용자가 온도 변화를 알 수 있도록 A/D 변환기를 사용하여 시그먼트로 표시하였다. 기존에 설계된 시스템은 온도를 감지하는 센서가 민감하며 센서에서 감지된 신호가 비교기를 통해서 직접 히터의 온도를 제어하였기 때문에 온도 변화율이 매우 심하고, 이두팁이 분리되어있지 않기 때문에 절연저항이 매우 낮았다. 본 논문에서는, 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 센서의 민감성을 최소화하고, Zero Voltage Switch IC를 사용하여 히터의 온도를 정밀하게 제어하였으며, 절연저항을 높이기 위해 인두팁의 중간에 세라믹을 삽입하여 팁에 온도만 전달될 수 있도록 용접을 하여 기존의 문제점을 개선하였다.

In the design of electro acoustic transducer, power factor improvement circuit is more required rather than impedance matching if the driving power amplifier has little inner resistance. Many research results have been focused on the power matching circuit designing for transferring maximum power in the wideband. There are few results in the designing study on the power factor improvement for the wide band electro acoustic transducer. In this paper, we propose a new design method on the power factor improvement for the wide band electro acoustic transducer. The proposed method consists of two steps, the chebyschev matching method and the constrained optimization, respectively.

The Wheatstone bridge is an important electrical circuit that is widely used to measure extremely small resistance changes in strain gages. The strain gages are attached to the structure or specimen whose deformation is to be detected. The Wheatstone bridge finds one of its major applications in the areas of static and dynamic strength tests for various engineering materials. In the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system, for example, the bridge circuit is required to measure the dynamic strains of the incident and transmitted bars along which the stress wave propagates. In this article, the principles of the Wheatstone bridge circuit are in detail explained for easy reference during laboratory experiments associated with rock dynamics. Especially, the circuit arrangements of the quater, half, and full bridges are presented with their basic uses.

In this paper, a deadbeat controller design technique is developed for the recently introduced PFC(Power Factor Correction) circuit named as a QBSRR(Quantum Boost Series Resonant Rectifier) to achieve the fast dynamic responses of the output voltage in the presense of any load variations. And, in order to monitor the load information without employing the current sensor, the load estimation method is also derived. By using the information of the load estimation method, the proposed controller gain is automatically adjusted to have the system always keep the very fast dynamic responses. To verify these superior performances, the simulation and the experiment are carried out.
