The global positioning system (GPS) is a useful system in civilian and military applications. However, because of the weak signal, GPS receivers are vulnerable to interference caused by unwanted signals or intentional jammers. To alleviate this issue, a controlled reception pattern antenna (CRPA) array can be employed to adaptively place radiation pattern nulls toward the direction of the signal interference. The performance of the CRPA array improves as the number of antenna elements increases. Therefore, antenna miniaturization is highly desirable for CRPA applications. We designed a compact CRPA array based on seven electrically miniaturized microstrip patch antennas (MPAs) on a 5-inch ground platform. We used a non-Foster matching circuit to match efficiently miniaturized MPAs on an FR-4 substrate. Experimental results show that the non-Foster matching circuit significantly improves such elements of antenna performance as return loss and antenna gain. In addition, we confirmed that the mutual coupling of the proposed CRPA array is less than -45 dB.

This paper deals with a new wave shaping technique for cost effective harmonic mitigation in ac-dc converter feeding Vector Controlled Induction Motor Drives(VCIMD's) for improving power quality at the point of common coupling(PCC). The proposed harmonic mitigator consists of a polygon connected autotransformer based twelve-pulse ac-dc converter and a small rating passive shunt filter tuned for $11^{th}$ harmonic frequency. This ac-dc converter eliminates the most dominant $5^{th},\;7^{th},\;and\;11^{th}$ harmonics and imposes the reduction of other higher order harmonics from the ac main current, thereby improving the power quality at ac mains. The design of autotransformer is carried out for the proposed ac-dc converter to make it suitable for retrofit applications, where presently a 6-pulse ac-dc converter is used. The effect of load variation on VCIMD is also studied to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ac-dc converter in a wide operating range of the drive. Experimental results obtained on the developed laboratory prototype of the proposed harmonic mitigator are used to validate the model and design of the ac-dc converter.

도파민은 카테콜아민류의 중요한 신경전달물질로서 부족하면 파킨스병과 정신분열증 등을 야기할 수 있다. 그러므로 조작이 비교적 간단하면서 감도가 우수한 분석법의 개발이 필요하다. 이에, 도파민에 대한 경쟁적인 효소면역분석법이 연구되었다. 경쟁적인 면역분석법의 분석감도는 일반적으로 두가지 요소에 의해 조절된다. 하나는 경쟁자의 특성과 농도이며, 다른 하나는 결합체, 즉 항체의 그것이다. 따라서, 경쟁자인 BSA-DA과 결합체인 항체-avidin 접합체의 최적화가 수행되었다. 두 접합체는 SATA와 SMCC를 이용한 dual heterobifunctional coupling법에 의해 합성되었으며, 최적화 과정을 통해 BSA-DA 접합체의 농도는 $6.66\;{\mu}g/mL$, 항체-avidin 접합체의 농도 $4.17{\times}10^{-10}\;M$로 결정되었다. 도파민에 대한 doseresponse curve와 calibration curve의 결과로써 도파민에 대한 검출 한계는 $2.3{\times}10^{-2}\;{\mu}g/mL$ 이고 검출 영역은 $1.0{\times}10^{-3}\;M\sim1.0{\times}10^{-7}\;M$ 이다. 직선성을 갖는 검출영역에서의 검정선을 얻은 결과 [Absorbance = -0.1098 log[DA]+0.0353 ($R^2$ = 0.9956)] 우수한 직선관계를 얻었다.

강자성체/비자성 금속/강자성체/반도체 구조에서 층간교환강호작용(interlayer exchange coupling) 에너지가 외부 인가전압으로 제어 가능함을 이론적으로 보였다. 비자성 금속층으로 격리된 두 강자성층 사이의 층간교환상호작용 에너지는 강자성체/비자성 금속 계면에서 전자의 스핀에 의존하는 반사율의 차이에 의해 결정된다는 것은 잘 알려진 사실인데, 이를 각자성체/비자성 금속/강자성체/반도체 구조에 적용하여 층간교환상호작용 에너지가 강자성체/비자성 금속/강자성체 계면에서 전자의 반사율뿐 아니라 강자성체/반도체 계면에서의 반사율에도 의존한다는 것을 보였다 강자성체/반도체 계면에 생기는 Schottky 장벽의 높이와 두께는 인가전압으로 바꿀 수 있고, 그에 따른 전자의 반사율이 인가전압에 의해 바뀔 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 결과적으로 일차원 자유전자 모델을 사용하여 외부 인가 전압으로써 두 강자성체 사이의 층간 교환 상호작용 에너지를 제어할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we investigate array calibration algorithms to derive a further improved version for correcting antenna array errors and RF transceiver errors in CDMA smart antenna systems. The structure of a multi-channel RF transceiver with a digital calibration apparatus and its calibration techniques are presented, where we propose a new RF receiver calibration scheme to minimize interference of the calibration signal on the user signals. The calibration signal is injected into a multi-channel receiver through a calibration signal injector whose array response vector is controlled in order to have a low correlation with the antenna response vector of the receive signals. We suggest a model-based antenna array calibration to remove the antenna array errors including mutual coupling errors or to predict the element patterns from the array manifold measured at a small number of angles. Computer simulations and experiment results are shown to verify the calibration algorithms.

Scott transformers have widely used to convert three phases into two phases and compensate the unbalance. Theoretically, the loads of the two secondary phases are same, no unbalance appears in the PCC(point of common coupling). But Due to the uncertainty of traction load, the unbalance are generally presented at the PCC. In this paper The amount of the voltage unbalance is expressed in the ratio of the negative sequence voltages to the positive sequence voltage. We tried to compensate the unbalance using SVC(Static Var Compensator）in an unbalance traction loads state by modeling. The SVC are installed and controlled to provide different amounts of reactive power compensation.

This paper proposes a static synchronous series compensator based on multi-bridge inverter. The proposed system consists of 6 H-bridge modules per phase, which generate 13 pulses for each half period of power frequency. The dynamic characteristic was analyzed by simulations with EMTP code, assuming that it is inserted in the 154-kV transmission line of one-machine-infinite-bus power system. The feasibility of hardware implementation was verified through experimental works using a scaled model. The proposed system does not require a coupling transformer for voltage injection, and has flexibility in expanding the operation voltage by increasing the number of H-bridge modules.

Active suspension control for vehicles is developed to improve both ride comfort and steering stability which are in trade off relation. In this study, the modal sky-hook controller for 7 D. O. F. model is proposed to resolve the problems such as computaional power restriction and uncertainties in modeling of systems and environments. Modal sky-hook controller reduces the coupling between the modes to be controlled. The simulation result for ride comfort shows that the perform ance of the proposed controller matches that of the optimal controller. Systematic method of determining its gain is proposed. The model sky-hook controller shows the robustness to road irregularity and modeling error.

This paper presents an speed reference trajectory planning methods for vibration suppression in a t-mass resonant system which has a flexible coupling between a load and a driving motor. Due to this flexibility, the system often suffers vibration especially when the motor is controlled for higher speed command. The steady state conditions are utilized to derive desired load speed trajectory which does not cause the torsional vibration. And the desired motor speed trajectory is synthesized base on the relation between load and motor speed. The simulation and experiment result suggest that the proposed method effectively suppress the vibration.

This paper describes a phase-shifter which can flexibly adjust the active and reactive power flow through an ac transmission line. The phase-shifter has two voltage-source converters sharing an energy storage capacitor. The magnitude of the injected voltage is controlled by the converter I connected in parallel with the sending terminal, while that of phase angle by the converter II in series with the line through the coupling transformer. In order to analyze the whole system operation, an equivalent circuit model was developed and verified by a computer simulation with EMTP code.
