본 논문에서는 20MHz 대역폭, 저잡음, 저전력의 3차 저역 통과 시그마-델타 모듈레이터를 개발한다. 본 시스템의 대역폭은 LTE 및 그 외 다른 광대역 무선통신 표준을 만족할 수 있다. Feed-forward 구조의 3차 저역 통과 필터를 통해 저전력 및 저복잡도를 실현한다. 개발된 시스템은 빠른 데이터 변환을 실현하기 위해 3bit-flash 타입의 양자화 회로를 사용하였다. Current-steering DAC의 경우 추가적인 회로 없이 높은 정확도와 낮은 전력 소모의 이유로 고안되었다. DAC의 입력 전압이 변할 경우 생기는 glitch들을 없애기 위해 cross-coupled 트랜시스터를 사용하여 glitch 상쇄(cancellation)를 실현하였다. 개발된 시스템은 32.65mW의 저전력 구현과 함께 65.9dB의 peak SNDR, 20MHz의 대역폭을 실현한다. 600mVp-p의 입력 two-tone 신호 입력 인가후의 IM3는 69dBc를 실현하였으며 TSMC의 0.18-um CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계되었다.

This paper presents a new structure for a step up dc-dc converter, which has several advantageous features. Firstly, the input dc source and the clamped capacitor are connected in series to transfer energy to the load through dual voltage multiplier cells. Therefore, the proposed converter can produce a very high voltage and a high conversion efficiency. Secondly, a double voltage clamped circuit is introduced to the primary side of the coupled inductor. The energy of the leakage inductance of the coupled inductor is recycled and the inrush current problem of the clamped circuits can be shared equally by two synchronous clamped capacitors. Therefore, the voltage spike of the switch tube is solved and the current stress of the diode is reduced. Thirdly, dual voltage multiplier cells can absorb the leakage inductance energy of the secondary side of the coupled inductor to obtain a higher efficiency. Fourthly, the active switch turns on at almost zero current and the reverse-recovery problem of the diodes is alleviated due to the leakage inductance, which further improves the conversion efficiency. The operating principles and a steady-state analysis of the continuous, discontinuous and boundary conduction modes are discussed in detail. Finally, the validity of this topology is confirmed by experimental results.

This paper proposes a model based trajectory tracking control scheme for under-actuated underwater robotic vehicles. The difficulty in stabilizing a non-linear system using smooth static state feedback law means that the design of a feedback controller for an under-actuated system is somewhat challenging. A necessary condition for the asymptotic stability of an under-actuated vehicle about a single equilibrium is that its gravitational field has nonzero elements corresponding to non-actuated dynamics. To overcome this condition, we propose a continuous time-varying control law based on the direct estimation of vehicle dynamic variables such as inertia, damping and Coriolis & centripetal terms. This can work satisfactorily under commonly encountered uncertainties such as an ocean current and parameter variations. The proposed control law cancels the non-linearities in the vehicle dynamics by introducing non-linear elements in the input side. Knowledge of the bounds on uncertain terms is not required and it is conceptually simple and easy to implement. The controller parameter values are designed using the Taguchi robust design approach and the control law is verified analytically to be robust under uncertainties, including external disturbances and current. A comparison of the controller performance with that of a linear proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller and sliding mode controller are also provided.

기존 구조물의 내진보강을 경제적으로 수행 위해서는 내진성능을 보다 정확하게 평가하는 것이 필요하다. 우리나라 도로교의 내진성능은 "기존교량의 내진성 평가 요령"에 의해 평가되고 있으며, 이는 이를 활용할 당시 기술자의 기술수준을 고려하여 비교적 간단한 방법이 채택되었다. 최근에는 입력지진의 불확실성을 고려하여 내진성능을 확률적으로 평가하는 연구가 많이 수행되고 있다. 일반적으로 구조물은 지반의 영향을 무시하고 모델화되거나 때로는 지반을 탄성스프링으로 모델화하여 응답에 대한 지반의 영향을 고려하고 있다. 그러나 지반도 지진시 비선형특성을 나타내므로 교량의 응답특성을 보다 정확하게 평가하기 위해서는 이를 고려할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 지진세기에 따른 지반의 비선형성을 등가의 선형스프링으로 모델화하여 6경간연속교를 대상으로 하여 지진해석을 수행하였으며, 교각의 파괴 및 낙교에 대한 지진취약도의 특성변화를 확률적으로 평가하였다.

This paper analyzes an LCL-type isolated dc-dc converter operating for constant output voltage in the continuous conduction mode(CCM) with resistances of parasitic losses-static drain-source on resistance of power switch, ESR of resonant network(L-C-L)-using a high loaded quality factor Q assumptions and fourier series techniques. Simple analytical expressions for performance characteristics are derived under steady-state conditions for designing and understanding the behavior of the proposed converter. The voltage-driven rectifier is analyzed, taking into account the diode threshold voltage and the diode forward resistance. Experimental results measured for a proposed converter at low input voltage and various load resistances show agreement to the theoretical performance predicted by the analysis within maximum 4% error. Especially in the case of low output voltages and large loads, It is been observed that introduction of both rectifier and the parasitic components of converter had considerable effect on the performance.

The research was performed to develop a CANDU-6 Core Monitoring System(CCMS) that enables operators to have efficient core management by monitoring core power distribution, burnup distribution, and the other important core variables and managing the past core history for Wolsong nuclear power plant unit 1. The CCMS uses Reactor Fueling Simulation Program(RFSP, developed by AECL) for continuous core calculation by integrating the algorithm and assumptions validated and uses the information taken from Digital Control Computer(DCC) for the purpose of producing basic input data. The CCMS has two modules; CCMS server program and CCMS client program. The CCMS server program performs automatic and continuous core calculation and manages overall output controlled by DataBase Management System. The CCMS client program enables users to monitor current and past core status in the predefined GUI(Graphic-User Interface) environment. For the purpose of verifying the effectiveness of CCMS, we compared field-test data with the data used for Wolsong unit 1 operation. In the verification the mean percent differences of both cases were the same($0.008\%$), which showed that the CCMS could monitor core behaviors well.

This paper presents a single switch, high step-up, non-isolated dc-dc converter suitable for renewable energy applications. The proposed converter is composed of a coupled inductor, a passive clamp circuit, a switched capacitor and voltage lift circuits. The passive clamp recovers the leakage inductance energy of the coupled inductor and limits the voltage spike on the switch. The configuration of the passive clamp and switched capacitor circuit increases the voltage gain. A wide continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation range, a low turn ratio for the coupled inductor, low voltage stress on the switch, switch turn on under almost zero current switching (ZCS), low voltage stress on the diodes, leakage inductance energy recovery, high efficiency and a high voltage gain without a large duty cycle are the benefits of this converter. The steady state operation of the converter in the continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is discussed and analyzed. A 200W prototype converter with a 28V input and a 380V output voltage is implemented and tested to verify the theoretical analysis.

본 논문에서는 상보형 high swing cascode 전류미러를 이용하여 저전압, 저전력 구동이 가능하고 고주파수 응용이 가능한 전류 적분기를 설계하였다. 간단한 전류미러로 구성된 적분기는 적분기의 비 이상적인 입력, 출력 저항 때문에 출력 전류 오차가 발생하는데 제안된 전류 적분기는 출력 저항이 증가하여 출력 전류의 오차가 감소하였다. 설계된 무손실, 유손실 전류 적분기를 이용한 설계 예로 3차 버터워스 저역통과 필터를 개구리도약형으로 구현하였다. 필터 구현시 무손실 전류 적분기의 위상 추이 때문에 발생하는 차단주파수 부근에서의 크기 특성 왜곡을 predistortion 설계법을 이용하여 감소시켰다. 설계된 전류모드 필터를 0.8㎛ CMOS n-well 공정 파라미터를 이용하여 SPICE 시뮬레이션한 결과 단일 2V 공급 전압에서 차단주파수는 20MHz, 전력소모는 615㎼를 갖는다. 또한 필터의 차단주파수는 DC 바이어스 전류에 의해 동조 할 수 있다.

A dual-band through-the-wall imaging radar receiver for a frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar system was designed and fabricated. The operating frequency bands of the receiver are S-band (2-4 GHz) and X-band (8-12 GHz). If the target is behind a wall, wall-reflected waves are rejected by a reconfigurable $G_m-C$ high-pass filter. The filter is designed using a high-order admittance synthesis method, and consists of transconductor circuits and capacitors. The cutoff frequency of the filter can be tuned by changing the reference current. The receiver system is fabricated on a printed circuit board using commercial devices. Measurements show 44.3 dB gain and 3.7 dB noise figure for the S-band input, and 58 dB gain and 3.02 dB noise figure for the X-band input. The cutoff frequency of the filter can be tuned from 0.7 MHz to 2.4 MHz.

This paper presents a direct single-stage power converter using single-phase isolated full-bridge converter modules, with inherent power factor correction (PFC) for a 12 kW switched mode power supply (SMPS). The advantages of the proposed converter are its simple control strategy, reduction in number of conversion stage, low input line current harmonics, and improvement in power factor. Analysis of the single-stage converter is carried out in continuous conduction mode of operation. Steady-state analysis of the proposed converter is conducted to obtain converter parameters. A systematic design procedure is also presented for a 12k W converter with a design example. The effect of load variation on SMPS is also studied in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed converter for the complete range of load conditions. A set of power quality indices on input ac mains for an SMPS fed from a single-stage converter is also presented for easy comparison of their performance.
