This paper presents Frequency Bias setting for the adequate AGC(Automatic Generator Control) operation based on the frequency response of power system in Korea. AGC frequency control recovers the frequency up to 60Hz following a primary control when the frequency suddenly drops due to a fault in power system. AGC can compensate an appropriate amount of generation by calculating ACE(Are Control Error) from the frequency deviation with the AGC frequency bias set from the actual frequency response in power systems. An appropriateness of the proposed AGC bias setting is verified through case studies employing the simulation model.

본 논문에서는 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project) LTE(Long Term Evolution) FDD(Frequency Division Duplexing)/TDD(Time Division Duplexing) 듀얼 모드 하향 링크 수신기의 초기 셀 탐색 (Initial Cell Search)을 위한 개선된 AGC (Automatic Gain Control) 구조 및 P-SCH (Primary Synchronization Channel) 검출 기법을 제안한다. 주파수 분할을 통하여 양방향 송수신되는 FDD 모드와 달리 TDD 모드에서는 상향링크(Uplink) 구간과 하향링크 구간이 시분할로 전송되기 때문에 일반적인 AGC 구조를 고려 시 TDD 모드에서는 AGC variation의 증가로 인한 P-SCH 검출 성능 열화를 유발하게 된다. 또한 주파수 옵셋 및 다중 경로 페이딩의 영향 역시 P-SCH 상관 과정에서의 상관 특성을 왜곡시켜 P-SCH 검출 성능 열화를 유발하게 된다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 FDD 모드에서뿐 아니라, TDD 모드에서도 안정적인 동작을 보장함으로써 AGC 동작에 의한 P-SCH 검출 성능 열화를 최소화할 수 있는 AGC 구조를 제안하며, 또한 주파수 옵셋이 존재하는 환경 및 다중 경로 페이딩 환경에서의 상관 특성 열화로 인한 P-SCH 검출 성능 열화를 최소하기 위한 개선된 P-SCH 검출 기법도 제안한다. 다양한 환경에서 제안된 AGC 구조와 P-SCH 검출 기법의 성능 검증을 통해 제안된 방식이 FDD/TDD 듀얼 모드 하향 링크 수신기에서 안정적인 AGC 동작 및 P-SCH 검출 성능의 보장이 가능함을 입증하였다.

The plate manufacturing processes are composed of the reheating furnace, finishing mill, cooling process and hot leveling. The finishing rolling mill (FM) as a reversing mill has produced the plate steel through multiple pass rolling. The automatic gauge control (AGC) is employed to maintain the thickness tolerance. The high grade products are forming greater parts of the manufacturing and customers are requiring strict thickness margin. For this reason, the advanced AGC method is required instead of the conventional AGC based on the PI control. To overcome the slow response performance of the conventional AGC and the thickness measurement delay, a fuzzy AGC based on the thickness deviation and its trend is proposed in this paper. An embedded controller with the fuzzy AGC has been developed and implemented at the plate mill in POSCO. The fuzzy AGC has dynamically controlled the roll gap in real time with the programmable logic controller (PLC). On line tests have been performed for the general and TMCP products. As the results, the thickness deviation range (maximum - minimum of the inner plate) is averagely from 0.3 to 0.1 mm over the full length. The fuzzy AGC has improved thickness deviation and completely satisfied customer needs.

NAND flash memory has widely been used because of non-volatility, low power consumption and fast access time. However, it suffers from inability to provide update-in-place and the erase cycle is limited. The unit of read/write operation is a page and the unit of erase operation is a block. Moreover erase operation is slower than other operations. We proposed the Adaptive Garbage Collection (called "AGC") policy which focuses on not only reducing garbage collection process time for real-time guarantee but also wear-leveling for a flash memory lifetime. The AGC performs better than Cost-benefit policy and Greedy policy. But the AGC does not consider the operation characteristics. So we proposed the Advanced Adaptive Garbage Collection (called "A-AGC") policy which considers the page write operation count and block erase operation count. The A-AGC reduces the write operations by considering the data update frequency and update data size. Also, it reduces the erase operations by considering the file fragmentation. We implemented the A-AGC policy and measured the performance compared with the AGC policy. Simulation results show that the A-AGC policy performs better than AGC, specially for append operation.

일반적으로 위성 시분할다중접속 (TDMA, Time Division Multiple Access) 통신시스템 설계 시 채널감쇄를 반드시 고려 해야하며 위성 통신시스템은 급격한 채널환경 변화에서도 안정적인 네트워크 구성을 위해 실시간 자동 이득제어기 (AGC, Automatic Gain Control)가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 위성 TDMA 통신시스템에서 타임 슬롯에 실시간 적용이 가능한 AGC를 제안한다. 제안하는 실시간 AGC 성능을 확인하기 위해 위성 TDMA 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였고 제안하는 AGC 알고리듬을 적용하여 시스템의 비트 오율을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 추후 위성 TDMA 통신시스템의 안정성을 높이는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

In the rolling of steel or non-steel metal the most important quality aspect are thickness and flatness. In thickness, there are two important factors. One of them is getting close with accurate goal, nominal gauge, the other is minimize gauge bandwidth, the variation in gauge. In this thesis, we proposed the fuzzy model AGC to minimize gauge variation along the length, developed the rolling mill dynamic model using the math mode of the rolling mill process and the rolling model related with the variety character of the rolling material. We compared the gauge control efficiency of fuzzy model AGC and PI mass flow AGC. We have got a simulation result, that the exit gauge variation of PI mass flow AGC was 2 micron and fuzzy model AGC was 1.2 micron at 1200mpm of rolling speed when each controller was rolling 5 micron of material that is the entry gauge variation.

A simulation of hot strip finishing mill automatic gauge control (AGC) system is built, which is divided into four modules such as rolling mill system, AGC module, looper system and strip model. The rolling mill system is built by mechanism modeling, the looper system and strip model are built by function modeling, and the AGC model is tried to use intelligent control of a multi-function AGC system. The target is attempted to use this simulation object to minimize finisher exit strip thickness deviation resulting from strip entry thickness disturbance and rolling force deviation. Simulation results show that the result of this AGC/LPC synthetical system module simulation is quite close to the actual result. The simulation system can also analyze most kinds of disturbance which affect the rolling process. It is proved that the system can represent practical situation of hot strip finishing mill process control, and be used as a basic platform of research and development for researcher and engineer.

This paper presents design of AGC(Automatic Gain Control) and DC offset remover suitable for cable modem which makes use of QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) scheme. Since QAM has multi-level signal characteristic, for high-order QAM, the constellation is dense and the distance of decision boundary between adjacent symbols is short. So AGC and DC offset remover must be designed optionally for preventing performance degradation. AGC is designed into feedback type and is related to the STR(Symbol Timing Recovery)and Paff interpolation algorithm. Whereas AGC need to perform average power detection during many symbols by comparison with the reference power, DC offset remover uses only the instant polarity decision such that simple implementation can be achieved with good performance. Though the AGC and DC offset remover are simulated here only for 256 QAM scheme for convenience'sake, it can be applied to other multi-level QAM or PSK modulation scheme.

In this paper we propose a new architecture of a programmable digital automatic gain controller(AGC) for analog interface in mixed mode systems. Compared with conventional analog AGCs which have difficulties in integration due to large capacitors, the proposed AGC is easily integrated. So the production cost can be reduced. In addition, The proposed AGC has a better performance in temperature, and power supply variations, and substrate noise than analog counterparts do. To prevent erroneous operations of the AGC due to noise, a mal-function preventer is newly proposed. In addition, to achieve an optimized AGC time constant, we propose a logic block which controls an up-down counting clock. This is directly related to the changing speed of the AGC gain. Implemented with a 0.25 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 1-poly, 5-metal CMOS parameters, the AGC operates from a single 2.5V power supply with the dynamic range of 36.ldB and occupies active area of 500$\mu\textrm{m}$${\times}$600$\mu\textrm{m}$

A new automatic generation control (AGC) signal transmission format will be adopted in the new energy management system (EMS) that KEPCO is planning to install for managing and operating the power system efficiently under the deregulation environment. Therefore, it is necessary for the power plants to make the AGC processing logic fit the new AGC signal flow format. In this work, we compare the new signal transmission scheme with the conventional one in view of its effect to the signal flow in the distributed control systems (DCS) that ale equipped in power plants to handle AGC operation. Then we propose a basic logic configuration for DCS that can be used with the new signal format. In the design of the configuration, some practical issues that should be discussed for the proper operation of the plants are considered.
