본 논문은 GaAs MESFET를 이용하여 X-band 레이더용 국부발진기를 설계 및 제작하였다. GaAs MESFET는 매우 낮은 저잡음특성과 높은 전자이동도를 가지기 때문에 초고주파용 저잡음 발진기에 적합하다. 본 논문의 발진기 설계 방법은 RF 공진기를 사용하지 않고 능동소자의 부성저항 특성과 임피던스 정합법에 의해 이루어진다. 따라서 RF 공진기가 차지하는 면적을 줄일 수 있고 MMIC화가 가능하여 발진기의 크기를 소형화할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 설계된 발진기는 중심주파수 10.545 GHz에서 출력 2.30 dBm을 나타낸다.

In this paper, a wideband clock generator using novel Automatic frequency calibration(AFC) scheme is proposed. Wideband clock generator using AFC has the advantage of small VCO gain and wide frequency band. The conventional AFC compares whether the feedback frequency is faster or slower then the reference frequency. However, the proposed AFC can detect frequency difference between reference frequency with feedback frequency. So it can be reduced an operation time than conventional methods AFC. Conventional AFC goes to the initial code if the frequency step changed. This AFC, on the other hand, can a prior state code so it can approach a fast operation. In simulation results, the proposed clock generator is designed for DisplayPort using the CMOS ring-VCO. The VCO tuning range is 350MHz, and a VCO frequency is 270MHz. The lock time of clock generator is less then 3us at input reference frequency, 67.5MHz. The phase noise is -109dBC/Hz at 1MHz offset from the center frequency. and power consumption is 10.1mW at 1.8V supply and layout area is $0.384mm^2$.

One of the core technology in WDM-PON system is a generation and modulation technique of the optical source in Optical Network Unit (ONU). In this paper, we propose a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) as a modulator in WDM-PON system. Its performance is analyzed by simulation and actual experimentation. Using RSOA in WDM-PON system as a modulator, it obtains higher gain compared to the conventional SOA due to the double pass gain effect. Furthermore RSOA can provide high gain with comparatively low input power. This is very helpful when we set up the actually system because using lower input power, it can reduce the load of the driving circuit which makes very economical module structure. Therefore, when RSOA is used as a modulator, not only it gives noise suppression effect, but also provides certain amount of gain as well. In addition, comparing with conventional SOA which gives fairly large insertion loss, RSOA can provides more important merits.

This paper presents an ultra-low partial discharge(PD) measurement system that has been accepted as a non-destructive method to estimate electrical insulation of low-voltage electric devices. The PD measurement system is composed of a coupling network, a low noise amplifier, and associated electronics. A shielding box is used to make a better condition against electromagnetic interference. A low cut-off frequency of the coupling network was 1MHz(-3 dB). Calibration tests on laboratory set-up have shown that the PD measurement system has a stable sensitivity of 11.4mV/pC. In an application experiment on a low-voltage induction motor(5HP), we could detect 0.77pC level of partial discharge pulse at the applied voltage of AC 664 V$_{peak}$.

A push-push voltage controlled dielectric resonator oscillator (VCDRO) with a modified frequency tuning structure using broadside couplers is investigated. The push-push VCDRO designed at 16 GHz is manufactured using a low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology to reduce the circuit size. The frequency tuning structure using a broadside coupler is embedded in a layer of the A6 substrate by using the LTCC process. Experimental results show that the fundamental and third harmonics are suppressed above 15 dBc and 30 dBc, respectively, and the phase noise of push-push VCDRO is -97.5 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 100 kHz from the carrier. The proposed frequency tuning structure has a tuning range of 4.46 MHz over a control voltage of 1-11 V. This push-push VCDRO has a miniature size of 15 mm×15 mm. The proposed design and fabrication techniques for a push-push oscillator seem to be applicable in many space and commercial VCDRO products.

The state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) estimation of batteries play important roles in managing batteries for automotive applications. However, an accurate state estimation of a battery is difficult to achieve because of certain factors, such as measurement noise, highly nonlinear characteristics, strong hysteresis phenomenon, and diffusion effect of batteries. In certain vehicular applications, such as idle stop-start systems (ISSs), significant errors in SOC/SOH estimation may lead to a failure in restarting a combustion engine after the shut-off period of the engine when the vehicle is at rest, such as at a traffic light. In this paper, a dual extended Kalman filter algorithm with a dynamic equivalent circuit model of a lead-acid battery is proposed to deal with this problem. The proposed algorithm adopts a battery model by taking into account the hysteresis phenomenon, diffusion effect, and parameter variations for accurate state estimations of the battery. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified through experiments by using an absorbed glass mat valve-regulated lead-acid battery and a battery sensor cable for commercial ISS vehicles.

In this paper, authors deal with a power conditioning system (PCS) of high efficiency for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) generation system. Fuel cells are a direct current (DC) power generators. They generate electricity through an electrochemical process that converts the energy stored in a fuel directly into electricity. Fuel cells have many benefits, which produce no particulate matter, nitrogen or sulfur oxides. And they have few moving parts and produce little or no noise. When fueled by hydrogen, they yield only heat and water as byproducts. Their wide application can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and foreign sources of petroleum. This paper studies on a novel PCS circuit topology of high efficiency using in PEMFC generation system The controlling switches in the PCS is operated to soft switching. Some digital simulation results and experimental results for the proposed PCS is confirmed to the validity of the analytical results.

An active clamp ZVS PWM forward converter using a secondary synchronous switch control is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter is suitable for low-voltage and high-current applications. The structure of the proposed converter is the same as a conventional active clamp forward converter. However, since it controls the secondary synchronous switch to build up the primary current during a very short period of time, the ZVS operation is easily achieved without any additional conduction losses of magnetizing current in the transformer and clamp circuit. Furthermore, there are no additional circuits required for the ZVS operation of power switches. Therefore, the proposed converter can achieve high efficiency with low EMI noise, resulting from soft switching without any additional conduction losses, and shows high power dens~ty, a result of high efficiency, and requires no additional components. The operational principle and design example are presented. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed converter can achieve an excellent ZVS performance throughout all load conditions and demonstrates significant improvement in efficiency for the 100W (5V, 20A) prototype converter.
