This paper proposed a high-power density bidirectional converter for hybrid electric vehicle high-voltage DC-DC converter(HDC). The conventional HDC has two disadvantages. First, large inductance is required to satisfy the ripple current of inductor by low switching frequency (<20 kHz). Second, large core size is required to prevent the saturation of inductor by high current. Compared with the conventional HDC, the proposed HDC can reduce inductance with SiC-FET for high frequency driving. High-power density of I/O capacitors can be achieved through two-phase interleaved method. The high-power density of inductors can be achieved because the offset current of magnetizing inductance is theoretically terminated by using the differential mode coupled inductor instead of using two single inductors. The validity of the proposed converter is proved through the 50 kW prototype.

An adaptive tracking controller is presented for the vibration reduction of flexible manipulator employed in hazardous area by combining input shaping technique with sliding-mode control. The combined approach appears to be robust in the presence of severe disturbance and unknown parameter which will be estimated by least-square method in real time. In a maneuver strategy, it is found that a hybrid trajectory with a combination of low frequency mode and rigid-body mode results in better performance and is more efficient than the traditional rigid body trajectory alone which many researchers have employed. The feasibility of the adaptive tracking control approach is demonstrated by applying it to the simplified model of robot system. For the applications of the proposed technique to realistic systems, several requirements are discussed such as control stability and large system order resulted from finite element modeling.

In this paper, a planar printed hybrid short/open-ended slot antenna with capacitive coupling feed strips is proposed for hepta-band mobile applications. The proposed antenna is comprised of a slotted ground plane on the top plane and two capacitive coupling feed strips with a chip inductor on the bottom plane. At the low frequency band, the short-ended long slot fed by strip 1 generates its half-wavelength resonance mode, whereas the T-shaped open ended slot fed by strip 2 generates its quarter-wavelength resonance mode for the high frequency band. The antenna provides a wide bandwidth covering GSM850/GSM900/DCS/PCS/UMTS/LTE2300/LTE2500 operation bands. Moreover, the antenna occupies a small volume of $15mm{\times}50mm{\times}1mm$. The operating principle of the proposed antenna and the simulation/measurement results are presented and discussed.

본 논문에서는 디지털라디오와 관련하여 동일계열 기술인 DRM과 DRM+ 전송방식을 기반으로 AM과 FM의 디지털방송 추진의 가능성과 필요성을 제시한다. 주파수 활용에서 IN-BAND와 OUT-OF-BAND 양쪽 모두 이용이 가능한 DRM+의 특징을 이용하여 FM밴드와 인접한 LOW-VHF 대역 TV채널 5번과 6번 주파수를 OUT-OF-BAND방식으로 디지털라디오방송을 추진할 때 기존 FM방송 신호와 충돌과 혼신이 없고, 새로운 라디오영역으로 확보 가능하며, 우수한 신호전달 능력이 있는지 확인하고자 하였다. 특히 IN-BAND방식 Hybrid 모드에서 SFN을 이용한 다수의 송신기 사용이 어려운 문제점을 언급하였다. 그와 반대로 DRM+에 의한 OUT-OF-BAND 방식은 다수의 송신기 배치가 가능하며, 기존 FM송신기 및 안테나와 콤바인이 쉽고, 사업자별로 출력지정과 권역설정이 자유로우며, AM/FM 통합 디지털라디오 제작과 보급에 유리하여 디지털라디오 추진에 적합한 방안이 될 수 있음을 제안하였다.

This paper deals with PWM patterns for harmonic reduction in inverter fed traction motors and the gear changing techniques for the variable speed drive of traction motor. GTOs are used as switching device of inverter because traction motor is a large load. To derive PWM rattern which can minimize the harmonics with the limited switching frequency, the output current and torque characteristic of SPWM and SHE PWM was analyzed. GTO inverter used for traction motor drive includes harmonics in the output current and torque by the limitation of switching frequency. However, the hybrid PWM method that adopt SPWM in the range of low frequency and SHE PWM in upper frequency range can achieve less harmonic characteristics in GTO inverters. If the traction motor is driven in variable speed by the proposed PWM pattern, 7 times of gear changing is needed. At the instant of the mode change, magnetic flux and torque may be altered and the large current flow. To reduce such an undesirable transient behavior, it is also presented the technique for the gear changing of inverter fed traction motor drive operated with the hybrid PWM. The results are verified by simulations and experiments.

An engine is one of the most dominant noise and vibration sources in vehicle systems. Therefore, in order to resolve noise and vibration problems due to engine, various types of engine mounts have been proposed. This work presents a new type of active engine mount system featuring a magneto-rheological (MR) fluid and a piezostack actuator. As a first step, six degrees-of freedom dynamic model of an in-line four-cylinder engine which has three points mounting system is derived by considering the dynamic behaviors of MR mount and piezostack mount. In the configuration of engine mount system, two MR mounts are installed for vibration control of roll mode motion whose energy is very high in low frequency range, while one piezostack mount is installed for vibration control of bounce and pitch mode motion whose energy is relatively high in high frequency range. As a second step, linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller is synthesized to actively control the imposed vibration. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed active engine mount, vibration control performances are evaluated under various engine operating speeds (wide frequency range) and presented in time domain.

In this paper, we present the design and characterization analysis of a cascode GaN field-effect transistor (FET) for switching power conversion systems. To enable normally-off operation, a cascode GaN FET employs a low breakdown voltage (BV) enhancement-mode Si metal-oxide-semiconductor FET and a high-BV depletion-mode (D-mode) GaN FET. This paper demonstrates a normally-on D-mode GaN FET with high power density and high switching frequency, and presents a theoretical analysis of a hybrid cascode GaN FET design. A TO-254 packaged FET provides a drain current of 6.04 A at a drain voltage of 2 V, a BV of 520 V at a drain leakage current of $250{\mu}A$, and an on-resistance of $331m{\Omega}$. Finally, a boost converter is used to evaluate the performance of the cascode GaN FET in power conversion applications.
