본 논문은 피드포워드 전력 증폭기의 효율 개선을 위한 도허티 증폭기의 적용에 관한 연구이다. 성능 분석을 위하여 중심 주파수 2.14 GHz의 WCDMA 4FA신호를 인가하여 평균 출력 전력 15 W에서 측정하였다. 적용한 도허티 증폭기는 동급 class AB 증폭기와 비교하여 고효율 저선형성의 특성을 나타내며 효율 개선을 위하여 피드포워드 전력 증폭기(FPA)의 주 증폭기로 사용되었다. 특성 변화를 분석하기 위해 선형성과 효율 특성이 다른 2가지 종류의 도허티 증폭기를 적용하였으며 각각의 FPA들은 평균 출력 15 W에서 효율은 $2\%$ 이상의 개선을 보였지만 선형성은 1.5 dBc 이상 저하되는 특성을 나타냈다. 저하된 선형성을 개선하기 위하여 부가적으로 오차 루프의 결합 계수(CF)와 오차 증폭기의 용량을 변화시켰다. CF와 오차 증폭기의 용량 변화로 효율 개선과 높은 선형성을 얻을 수 있었고 도허티 증폭기가 35 dBc 이상의 선형성을 유지하면 부가적인 변화 없이 평균 출력 전력 15 W에서 $2\%$ 이상의 효율 개선과 충분한 선형성을 얻을 수 있다.

In the structure of ITO/N,N'-diphenyl-N,N' bis (3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine(TPD) /2,9-Dimethy 1-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP)/tris (8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum$(Alq_3)$/Al device, we studied the efficiency improvement of organic light-emitting diodes due to thickness variation of BCP materials used for a electron breaking layer. The thickness of TPD and $Alq_3$ was manufactured 40 nm, 60 nm, respectively under a base pressure of $5\times10^{-6}$Torr using a thermal evaporation. The TPD and $Alq_3$ layer were evaporated to be at a deposition rate of 2.0 A/s. The BCP was evaporated to be at a deposition of 1.0 A/s. When the thickness of BCP increased from 5 to 30 nm, we found that the luminous efficiency and the external quantum efficiency is superior to the others when the thickness of BCP is 20 nm. Compared to the ones from the devices made without BCP, the luminous efficiency and the external quantum efficiency was improved by 57 %, 70%, respectively.

In this paper, a generalized efficiency equation was proposed to estimate the internal loss of the SMPS (switched-mode power supply) with 3 variables. The first variable was an internal loss not related to the load current such as auxiliary power, the second was a loss proportional to the current such as diode loss, and the third was a loss proportional to square of the current such as conduction loss. Especially, theoretical internal losses of the totem pole bridgeless PFC which is widely used for high efficiency SMPS were expressed as output function to compare generalized efficiency equation. In addition, in order to reduce the conduction loss of the switch, when a multiple switch were paralleled, the correlation with the efficiency was analyzed and shown as a graph. In order to confirm the degree of the parallel switch structure on the efficiency improvement, a 2kW class totem pole bridgeless PFC was constructed and the effectiveness of the analysis was confirmed by comparing the generalized efficiency equation and theoretical loss analysis results with experimental data.

Because of a waveguiding effect and total internal reflection caused by a difference in refractive indices, only 20% of generated light is emitted to the air and the rest is trapped or absorbed in the device. An improvement of outcoupled efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes was studied using a microlens array. Mold of microlens array was fabricated by using photo-lithography with the AZ9260 photoresist, and the microlens array was formed onto the glass substrate using the UV curing agent named ZPU13-440. Device structure consists of microlens/glass/ITO/TPD/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al. It was found that there is an improvement of external quantum efficiency by about 20% at the same current density for the device with the microlens array compared to that of the reference one. Simulated outcoupled efficiency shows the improvement by about 20% for the device with the microlens array compared to that of the reference one. These results are consistent with the experimental ones.

The cross flow turbine is economical because of its simple structure. For remote rural region, there are needs for a more simple structure and very low head cross flow turbines. However, in this kind of locations, the water from upstream always flows into the turbine with some other materials such as sand and pebble. These materials will be damage to the runner blade and shorten the turbine lifespan. Therefore, there is a need to develop a new type of cross flow turbine for the remote rural region where there is availability of abundant resources. The new design of the cross flow turbine has an inlet open duct, without guide vane and nozzle to simplify the structure. However, the turbine with inlet open duct and very low head shows relatively low efficiency. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to optimize the shape of the turbine inlet to improve the efficiency, and investigate the internal flow of a very low head cross flow turbine. There are two steps to optimize the turbine inlet shape. Firstly, by changing the turbine open angle along with changing the turbine inlet open duct bottom line (IODBL) location to investigate the internal flow. Secondly, keeping the turbine IODBL location at the maximum efficiency achieved at the first step, and changing the turbine IODBL angle to improve the performance. The result shows that there is a 7.4% of efficiency improvement by optimizing turbine IODBL location (open angle), and there is 0.3% of efficiency improvement by optimizing the turbine IODBL angle.

In the vertical drain method, discharge capacity is generally one of the most important factor which affect on the estimation of the drain efficiency. However, adopting the drain considering discharge capacity only is not sufficiently considered method so that systematic criteria for adoption is necessary to choose the most suitable drain. Therefore, this study represents the application method considering behavior of the ground and vertical drain which is coupled together and ground improvement efficiency analyzing various cases of discharge capacity test performed in the recent soft ground improvement projects. According to the analysis, most drains tend to satisfy the required discharge capacity. It presents that deformed shape of the drains and well resistance estimation along the ground settlement, improvement efficiency by water content ratio along the depth and shear strength obtained after ground improvement should be considered altogether with the discharge capacity to select the proper drain. Also, appropriate adoption of drain material considering the ground condition is vital through analyzing the field measured data and comparing the result of the discharge capacity test as various vertical drain materials are being constructed continuously.
