In OFDM system, the out-of-band radiation of ensemble interferes with the adjacent ensemble and result in the reduction of receiving performance. So the reduction scheme of out-of-band radiation is very important. In this paper, a time-domain windowing method to reduce the out-of-band radiation is considered to DAB systems. We adopt the considered method to T-DMB(DAB mode-1) and AT-DMB Systems, and we get about 3-dB gains of out-of-band radiation. And also we show that the considered method doesn't reduce the BER performance.

It is usually difficult for dual-active-bridge (DAB) dc-dc converters to operate efficiently at light loads. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of a DAB with triple-phase-shift (TPS) control under the light load condition to overcome this problem. A kind of operating mode which is suitable for light load operation is analyzed in this paper. First, an analysis of the zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) constraints for the DAB converter has been carried out and a reasonable dead-band setting method has been proposed. Secondly, the basic operating characteristics of the converter are analyzed. Third, under the condition of satisfying the ZVS constraints, both the reactive power and the root mean square (RMS) value of the current are simultaneously minimized and a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed to analyze and solve this optimization problem. Lastly, both simulations and experiments are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the converter can effectively achieve ZVS and improved efficiency.

본 논문에서는 양방향 전력 전송을 가능케 해주는 Dual-active-bridge (DAB) 컨버터에서, 고주파 변압기 대신 무선 전력 전송 코일을 이용한 시스템을 제안한다. 기존의 DAB 컨버터에서 주로 사용되는 고주파 변압기는 Core-type 또는 shell-type으로 만들어지며, 1차 측 권선과 2차 측 권선이 자기적으로 강하게 결합되어 높은 전력 전달 효율을 가지도록 만든다. 이런 DAB 컨버터를 직/병렬 연결해 MV-DC to LV-DC로 변환하는 반도체 변압기 등을 구성할 때, 1차 측 권선과 2차 측 권선 사이에는 절연 문제와 1차 측 스위치 회로와 2차 측 스위치 회로, 그리고 고주파 변압기가 각각 따로 절연해야 하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 DAB 컨버터는 1차 측과 2차 측이 수 cm 이격되어 있어 1차 측과 2차 측 사이의 자기적 결합이 굉장히 약하다. 따라서 1차 측과 2차 측 코일을 커패시터로 공진시켜 전력을 전달하는 무선전력전송(Loosely Coupled Inductive Wireless Power Transfer)을 이용한다. 무선전력전송의 공진 topology는 Parallel-Series로 선택했고, impedance transformation 회로를 추가했다.

In this paper, a power loss analysis technique of a high-frequency transformer of a bidirectional DAB (Dual Active Bridge) converter is reported. To miniaturize the transformer of the dual active bridge converter, a resonant inductor was designed with an air gap included low-coupled rate state core to combine leakage inductor with the resonant inductor which is required for soft-switching. In this paper, leakage inductance and magnetizing inductance, core material, type of winding and winding method are included in the dual active bridge transformer loss analysis process to enable optimal design at the initial design stage. Transformer loss analysis for dual active bridge with a switching frequency of 200 kHz and maximum output of 5 kW was executed, and elements necessary for design based on the number of turns on the primary side were graphed while maintaining the transformer turns ratio and window area. In particular, it was possible to determine the optimal number of turns and thickness of the transformer, and ultimately, the total loss of the transformer could be estimated.

본 논문에서는 ESS용 전류원 Dual-Active-Bridge 컨버터의 저 부하 및 고 부하에서의 효율 향상을 위한 하이브리드 스위칭 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 전류원 DAB 컨버터는 인터리브 구조를 이용하여 배터리 단의 입력 전류 리플을 저감할 수 있고, 전력 변환 효율 개선을 위한 다양한 제어 변수를 도입할 수 있는 등의 장점으로 인해 DC 마이크로그리드에서 ESS용 절연형 양방향 DC/DC 컨버터로 주목받고 있다. 그러나 전류원 DAB에서 종래의 전력 제어 방법인 펄스폭 변조 방식과 위상천이가 결합된 방법 (PWM plus Phase Shift, PPS)의 경우 저 부하 조건에서 높은 피크 전류로 인해 도통 손실이 크며, 펄스폭 변조 방식과 이중 위상천이가 결합된 방법(PWM plus Dual Phase Shift, PPDPS)의 경우 고 부하 조건에서 영전압 스위치 영역이 좁아져 효과적이지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 2차 측의 펄스폭과 위상천이를 독립적으로 제어하는 하이브리드 스위칭 알고리즘을 통해 순환전류를 감소시키고 영전압 스위치 영역을 확장시켜 저 부하 및 고 부하 모두에서 효율을 향상시키고자 한다. 1-kW급 전류원 DAB 컨버터 시작품을 통해 제안된 하이브리드 스위칭 알고리즘의 효율성과 타당성을 검증한다.

This paper provides field test results to confirm and compare the receiving characteristics of digital radio in various environments. HD Radio and DRM+ was used for the in-band method, while DAB/DAB+/T-DMB were used for the out-of-band method. To run field tests for digital radio, a transceiver test bed was constructed in a region in Korea selected as suitable for the testing, and indoor and outdoor reception tests were conducted by selecting 16 test points with different levels of multipath. Not only was the receivability tested at the test point, but ATT margin was also applied, in order to derive the minimum reception level. Through various analyses, the findings obtained through the field tests can aid in the setting of a standard for determining the method of digital radio transmission to ensure a smooth reception environment for consumers.

In this paper, we develop an approach toward JSC(Joint Source-Channel Coding) method for MPEG-4 based FGS(Fine Granular Scalability) video coding and transmission in fixed and mobile receiving environment(Digital Audio Broadcasting, DAB). The source coder used MPEG-4 FGS video codec, the channel coder used RCPC(Rate Compatible Punctured Convolution) code and the modulation method used QPSK modulation. We have considered channel environment of AWGN and mobile receiving environment. This study determined optimum Trade-off point between source bit rate and channel coding rate in variable channel states. We compared FGS-JSC method and general single layer CBR(Constant Bit Rate) transmission. In this results, FGS-JSC was appeared better performance than CBR transmission.

The content of taxol and related compounds in various tissues of native yews( T. cuspidata var. latifolia) grown in 5 locations of Ullung Island were analyzed. A considerable range of vanation in the content was observed in the needle and bark collected from different trees located at the same area as well as at five different areas. Taxol content was much higher in the needle(0.017% on the dry weight basis) than those in the bark, whereas the content of 10-deacetyl baccatin III(10-DAB III) was slightly higher in the bark(0.073%), regardless of the location of the trees collected. Particuayly, the needle collected from the Hyunpo area, which located in North-west part of Ullung Island, contained the highest level of taxol(0.024%) exceeding the reported level in dried barks of Pacific yew and also somewhat higher level of its Precusor, 10-DAB III(0.049%). These results suggested that the needle of the yew at the Ullung Island could be suitable materials as a renewable source for the mass production of taxol.

A frequency synthesizer for DAB applications is designed using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process with 1.8V supply. NP-core type is chosen for VCO core to improve low power characteristic and symmetric characteristic of output waveform. VCO range is 1302.34 MHz - 1949.51 MHz using switchable capacitor bank and varactor bank. Varactor biases that improve varactor capacitance characteristics were minimized as two, $K_{vco}$(VCO gain) is maintained using technique of varactor bank switching. Intervals of $K_{vco}$ are maintained adding VCO frequency compensation logic. Each block of VCO and frequency synthesizer designed $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process with 1.8V supply is verified by Cadence Spectre, measured VCO consumes 9mA current, and is 39.8% tuning range, total power consumption of the frequency synthesizer is 18mW.

The efficient Viterbi decoder that supports full data-rate output of DAB system was proposed. Viterbi decoder consumes lots of computational load and should be designed to be fast specific hardware. In this paper, SST scheme was adopted for Viterbi decoder with puncturing to reduced the power consumption. Puncturing vector tables are modified and re-arranged to be designed by a hardwired logic to save the system area. New re-scaling scheme which uses the fact that the difference of the maximum and minimum of the path metric values is bounded is proposed. The proposed re-scaling scheme optimizes the wordlength of path metric memory and greatly reduces the computational load for re-scaling by controlling MSB of path metric memory. Another saving of computation is done by proposed algorithm for branch metric calculation, which makes use of pre-calculated metric values. The designed Viterbi decoder was synthesized using SAMSUNG 0.35$\mu$ standard cell library and occupied small area and showed lower power consumption.
