In order to successfully adopt and implement the Balanced Scorecard(BSC), firms need to respond adequately to the rapid changes of today's business environment and consider the growing importance of non financial factors in the business activities such as intangible assets(R&D expenditure, patent, goodwill, etc.). Our primary focus throughout this paper is on developing Key Performance Index(KPI) of BSC for R&D expenditure activities. In this study, we have developed and named PEI(Patent Efficiency Index),which is the KPI for R&D expenditure by focusing on the efficiency of a patent that is the output from the R&D expenditures. Secondarily, we have attempted to address the solution for the current problems of the traditional R&D performance measurement by using our developed PEI and examine the usefulness and effectiveness of the newly developed our PEI. According to the empirical test results, we find that the PEI is positively associated with ROA and Tobin's Q, respectively and show that our developed PEI is more effective and accurate than the traditional R&D performance measurement as a business performance measurement. Furthermore, these findings proves that we can measure and evaluate how efficiently the firms perform the R&D activities and shows that the PEI can be a critical index for evaluating firm's business performance related to the R&D expenditures.

Culture technology is contributing to the creation of new values through convergence with other industries. The government is also actively investing in R&D in this field to secure competitiveness. In this study, the R&D efficiency of culture technology is analyzed by characteristics. Data envelopment analysis and non-parametric tests are performed on 968 national research projects in 2016-2019. As a result, it is confirmed that there are a difference in R&D efficiency according to the characteristics of national research projects in culture technology sector. This suggests that when planning national research projects for culture technology, these characteristics should be taken into consideration and strategically promoted.

A display device combining plasma display panel (PDP) and field emission display (FED) is proposed to achieve high luminous efficiency. The device can avoid the main energy loss channels of both PDP (ion loss) and FED (low CL efficiency). $2{\sim}6$”-diagonal test panels with carbon nano-tube (CNT) electron emitter and Xenon ambient gas showed the luminous efficiency of 4.14lm/W and brightness of $263cd/m^2$ at 35V (1kHz, 1% duty), indicating that it is a good candidate for the low voltage driven, highly efficient next generation display.

In this paper, high efficiency amplifier configuration is proposed using the reconfigurable power divider. In order to enhance average efficiency of linear power amplifiers for wireless communication, it is required to increase efficiency in low output power region. The proposed power divider operates in two modes, high power mode and low power mode, according to output power. In each mode, it allows impedance matches and low loss, which is made possible by employing two $\lambda/4$ coupled lines and two switches. The fabricated power divider shows the return loss ($S_{11}$) and insertion loss ($S_{21}$) of -16.49 dB and -0.83 dB, respectively, in low power mode. In high power mode, the measured return loss ($S_{11}$) and insertion loss ($S_{31}$) are -16.28 dB and -0.73 dB, respectively. This result successfully demonstrates the reconfigurability of the proposed power divider.

Government-funded research institutes (GRIs) have played a pivotal role in national R&D in Korea. To achieve desired goals of GRIs with the limited R&D budget, their performance along with time needs to be measured and compared so that appropriate R&D policies can be formulated and implemented. This study measures the dynamic performance of GRIs from the efficiency perspective using the window model of data envelopment analysis (DEA). DEA is a non-parametric approach to measuring the relative efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and outputs, and the DEA window model can capture the dynamic changes in efficiency of DMUs during multiple periods. The relative efficiency of GRIs is measured from the two perspectives: R&D and R&BD. Patents, papers, technology transfers are selected as outputs for R&D while compensated technology transfers and technology royalty are employed as outputs for R&BD. This study measures and compares the two types of performance of 20 Korean GRIs under the control of National Research Council of Science and Technology during the period of six years from 2008 to 2013. The results are expected to provide fruitful implications for national R&D policy making.

In this paper, highly efficient dual-band class-F power amplifiers(PAs) for cellular and WLAN bands are suggested and implemented. For the first step, single-band class-F amplifiers at 840MHz, 2.4GHz are designed using commercial E-pHEMT FETs. The performance of two single band PAs are as much as 81.2% of efficiency with the output power of 24.4dBm with 840MHz PA and 93.5% of efficiency with 22.4dBm from the 2.4GHz. For the dual-band class-F PA, the harmonic controlling circuit with ideal SPDT switch was suggested. The length of transmission line is variable by a SPDT switch. As a results, the operation in 840MHz showed the peak efficiency of 60.5% with 23.5dBm, while in 2.4GHz mode the efficiency was 50.9% with the output power of 19.62dBm. Besides, it is shown that the harmonic controller of class-F above 2Ghz could be implemented on the low cost FR-4 substrate.

In fabricated linear power amplifier(LPA), the third-order inter-modulation distortion(IMD) for main amplifier alone is 10.61dBc, and the IMD for LPA with predistorter and feedforward loop combined is 32.50dBc. Therefore, the IMD characteristic results an improvement of approximately 22dB. The main amplifier efficiency with single tone input is close to 30%, and the efficiency of the overall LPA with predistorter is 27.4% and predicted feedforward loop efficiency without predistorter is about 20%. Therefore, LPA with predistorter and feedforward loop combined is improved by 7.4%.

The Multi D.O.F spherical motor can drive rotating as well as tilting three degree of freedom with one motor. Existing three degree of freedom to drive with three motors that are connected by gears and belts, that will be too large size and big loss at gears and belts. So Reducing system size and improving efficient is using the Multi D.O.F spherical motor in three degree of freedom systems. For this reason, efficiency of Multi D.O.F spherical motor is one of the important performance indiccators. In this paper presented that how to improve the efficiency of the Multi D.O.F spherical motor. The fist of method is using the stator iron core's material with high permeability and resistivity for reducing the eddy current loss. However, it was the disadvatages of motor-making and economic. So author propose the resonable method of reducing the eddy current loss in the stator iron core. That is using the rotor with double-air gap.

The ongoing adoption of 5G will increase the data traffic, throughput, multimedia services, and power consumption for future wireless applications and services, including sensor and mobile networks. Multipath fading on wireless channels also reduces the system performance and increases energy consumption. To address these issues, device-to-device (D2D) and cooperative communications have been proposed. In this study, we propose two inter-clustering models using the relay selection method to improve system performance and increase energy efficiency in cooperative D2D networks. We develop two inter-clustering models and present their respective algorithms. Subsequently, we run a computer simulation to evaluate each model's outage probability (OP) performance, throughput, and energy efficiency. The simulation results show that inter-clustering model II has the lowest OP, highest throughput, and highest energy efficiency compared with inter-clustering model I and the conventional inter-clustering-based multirelay method. These results demonstrate that inter-clustering model II is well-suited for use in 5G overlay D2D and cellular communications.
