Circuit theory is a systematic study that analyzes and designs the most basic circuits in the field of electrical and electronic engineering. Circuit theory courses are organized as major courses for one or two semesters in the second year of university, so that electrical and electronic engineering students must learn. Experimental courses are being together organized for students to enhance understanding of circuit theory and cultivate the skills and the abilities of circuit design through experiments with actual circuits. This paper is a case study on the teaching method applied in electric circuit design and experiment courses to enhance the learning effect on the experimental education that supports circuit theory. To do this, we propose a 15-week instructional model consisting of theory study, simulation, experiments, and design projects. In the proposed model, the simulation and preliminary experiment preparation process are reinforced to complement the theoretical concept and the design project is introduced to acquire practical circuit design skills as engineers. The results of five-year operation demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.

In this paper, a new equivalent circuit for a defected ground structure(DGS) is proposed and adapted to design of a power amplifier for performance improvement. The DGS equivalent circuit presented in this paper consists of parallel LC resonator and parallel capacitance to describe the fringing fields due to the etched defects on the metallic ground plane, and also is used to optimize the matching circuit of a power amplifier. A previous research has also used a DGS for harmonic rejection and efficiency improvement of a power amplifier(1), however, there was no exact equivalent circuit analysis. In this paper, we suggest a novel design method and show the performance improvement of a class AB power amplifier by using the equivalent circuit of a DGS applied to output matching circuit. The design method presented in this paper can provide very accurate design results to satisfy the optimum load condition and the desirable harmonic rejection, simultaneously. As a design example, we have designed a 20W power amplifier with and without circuit simulation of DGS, and compared the measurement results.

This paper describes a design methodology for the CMOS current source which can be implemented in standard memory process. The proposed techniques provide a good characteristic against the power-supply variation by utilizing a self-bias circuit and the reduction of the first-order component of the temperature variation through the new temperature compensation technique and include a new current-sensing start-up circuit enabling a robust operation against the voltage noise generated during the operation of the chip. In addition to the circuit-design technology, techniques where the proposed CMOS current-reference circuit can be applied to the clocking circuits of a very high-speed DRAM are presented. The feasibility of the suggested design methodology for the CMOS current reference is demonstrated by both the analytical method and the circuit simulation.

In this research, the design procedure and the design method of a single-phase line-start permanent magnet motor (LSPM) are proposed. In the design procedure, the permanent magnet is designed first and the windings and capacitors are designed later. As well, the points of design of each design parameter are explained. In the design of the single-phase LSPM, the equivalent circuit method is combined with the finite element method (FEM) because it has a shorter analysis time than FEM. The 400 watts single-phase LSPM is designed and manufactured. The characteristics of the manufactured single-phase LSPM are analyzed and experimented. From the analysis result and the experiment result, it is verified that the design procedure and the design method of the single-phase LSPM is valid.

The TMFT, a sub-system of TINC, provides voice calls, data transmission and reception, and multimedia services to individual users. At the time of development in 2011, the power circuit of the TMFT was designed to electrical power supply to each device via a charger IC. However, the newly improved power supply circuit allows power to be supplied to each device through the PMIC without configuring the charger IC separately. In this paper, the power circuit design structure of TMFT applied in the development stage and the improved power circuit design structure were compared. And we verified through experiments whether the improved power circuit can be applied to TMFT. The experimental method was verified by directly comparing the current consumption test, charge time comparison test, and rising temperature test during charging each of before and after improvement terminals.

In this paper, a design of radiation detector for gamma column scanner is introduced. Distillation column is important unit in Petro-chemical industries, and its on-line diagnose is very important. To get density profile measured by the radiation transmitted through column is well method for on-line diagnose as gamma scanning. For this purpose radiation detection circuit, radiation source and mechanical system for moving source and detector are required. Conventional radiation detection circuit for this application is sensitive to electric noise because of interface between the radiation circuit and the controller for mechanical system. The radiation detection system introduced here is using loop coil instead of slip ring to remove contact noise. Radiation detection system designed here for gamma scanning consist of BGO detector, high voltage circuit, PHA circuit and FSK modem. The BGO detector is used as radiation sensor, high voltage circuit and peak height analysis circuit is essential to process the signal generated from BGO detector. Micro controller convert measured data into ASCII data. FSK modem transmit ASCII data. Transmitted ASCH data is picked up in antenna coil and processed for combined function with mechanical system. This method gives good result by isolating the controlling circuit of mechanical system from radiation detecting circuit which is sensitive to noise.

This paper analyzes the 74LS381 ALU and designs its equivalent circuit. The 74LS381 ALU is arithmetic logic units(ALUs)/function generators that perform eight binary arithmetic/logic operations on two 4-bit words. However there are only little information to understand and design this circuit. Thus, we not only analyzed it but also designed an equivalent circuit to the 74LS381.

This paper presents a parameter optimization method using evolutionary programming in voltage reference circuit because the designer must select appropriate parameter values of the circuit taking into consideration both powr voltage and temperature variation. In this paper, evolutionary programming is suggested as an approach for finding good parameters with which the reference voltage variation is small with respect to temperature variation. Simulation results. Simulation results show that this method is effective in circuit design.
