In this paper, a new variable active inductor using a conventional grounded active inductor with feedback variable LC-resonator is proposed. The grounded active inductor is realized by the gyrator-C topology and the variable LC-resonator is realized by the low-Q spiral inductor and varactor. This variable LC-resonator can compensate the degradation of Q-factor due to parasitic capacitance of a transistor, and the frequency range with high Q-factor is adjustable by resonance frequency adjustment of LC-resonator. The fabricated variable active inductor with Magnachip $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process shows that high-Q frequency range can be adjusted according to varactor control voltage from 4.66 GHz to 5.45 GHz and Q-factor is higher than 50 in the operating frequency ranges. The measured inductance at 4.9GHz can be controlled from 4.12 nH to 5.97 nH by control voltage.

In this paper, a novel voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO) using the open loop multiple split ring resonator(OLMSRR) is presented for improving the phase noise, implemented in 130 nm CMOS technology. Compared with the conventional CMOS LC resonator, the proposed CMOS OLMSRR has the larger coupling coefficient value, which makes a higher Q-factor, and has improved the phase noise of the VCO. The proposed CMOS VCO based OLMSRR has the phase noise of -99.67 dBc/Hz @ 1 MHz in the oscillation frequency. Compared with the VCO using the conventional CMOS LC resonator and the proposed VCO using the CMOS OLMSRR structure has been improved in 7 dB. The prototype 24 GHz CMOS VCO is implemented in 130 nm CMOS and occupies a compact die area of $0.7\;mm{\times}0.9\;mm$.

고효율을 갖는 고주파점등용 전자식 안정기 개발에 대한 연구이다. 안정기 입력단에 LC병렬공진회로를 연결하고 출력단에서 LC직렬공진회로를 이용함으로써 효율을 향상시켰다. 안정기에 대한 회로상의 주요 착상을 중심으로 동작을 설명하였으며 실용회로를 구성하여 성능을 실험하였다. 그 결과 개발된 전자식안정기의 40W 형광램프에 적용시 형광등과 안정기의 총 소비전력은 35W였으며 이는 기존 국내의 전자식 안정기의 적용시 소비전력에 대해 10%가 향상된 것이다. 고조파특성 또한 기존 자기식안정기 수준으로 향상되었다.

본 논문은 공진 인버터를 적용한 HID램프를 구동하기 위한 전자식 안정기를 설계하고 구현하였다. 제안된 전자식 안정기는 스위치 턴온 오프시의 손실을 줄이기 위해서 소프트 스위칭 기법인 ZVS(Zero-Voltage Switching)을 도입하였다. 점등은 LC필터의 공진주파수범위에서 풀브리지 인버터 제어에 의한 공진으로 이루어 진다. 점등후에 컨버터는 저주파수 구형파로 동작한다. 공진 기동시의 LC필터의 공진주파수는 ($f_o$=160kHz)이고, 고조파를 감소시키고 음향공진현상을 피하기 위한 벅컨버터 스위칭 주파수(고주파수 : 50~60kHz 와 저주파수 : 170Hz)를 선택하였다. 실험을 통해 공진 인버터를 적용한 HID램프용 전자식 안정기가 안정적으로 동작함을 확인하였다.

A new class of LC-resonator for micro magnetic sensor device was invented and fabricated by means of MEMS technique. The micro LC-resonator consists of a solenoidal micro-inductor with a bundle of soft magnetic microwire cores and a capacitor connected in parallel to the micro-inductor. The core magnetic material is a tiny glass coated $Co_{83.2}B_{3.3}Si_{5.9}Mn_{7.6}$ microwire fabricated by a glasscoated melt spinning technique. The core materials were annealed at various temperatures $150^{\circ}C,\;200^{\circ}C\;,250^{\circ}C\;,$ and $300^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in a vacuum to improve soft magnetic properties. The solenoidal micro-inductors fabricated by MEMS technique were $500{\sim}1,000{\mu}m$ in length with $10{\sim}20$ turns. The changes of inductance as a function of external magnetic field in micro-inductors with properly annealed microwire cores were varied as much as 370%. Since the permeability of ultra soft magnetic microwire is changing rapidly as a function of external magnetic field. The inductance ratio as well as magnetoimpedance ratio (MIR) in a LC-resonator was varied drastically as a function of external magnetic field. The MIR curves can be tuned very precisely to obtain maximum sensitivity. A prototype magnetic sensor device consisting of the developed microinductors with a multivibrator circuit was test successfully.

Ultrasonic transducers with high resolution and resonant frequency are required to detect small defects (less than hundreds of ${\mu}m$) by ultrasonic testing. The resonance frequency and resolution of an ultrasonic transducer are closely related to the thickness of piezo-electric materials, backing materials, and the electric impedance matching technique. Among these factors, electrical impedance matching plays an important role because it can reduce the loss and reflection of ultrasonic energy differences in electrical impedance between an ultrasonic transducer and an ultrasonic defects detecting system. An LC matching circuit is the most frequently used electric matching method. It is necessary for the electrical impedance of an ultrasonic transducer to correspond to approximately $50{\Omega}$ to compensate the difference in electrical impedance between both connections. In this study, a 15 MHz immersion ultrasonic transducer was fabricated and an LC electrical impedance circuit was applied to that for having broad-band frequency characteristic.

This paper deals with transmission characteristics of a new dual resonant structure for designing waveguide band-pass filter. The structure which has a pass-band between two adjacent stop-bands in a single body consists of circular ridged aperture and four armed conducting patch. The dual resonant behavior of the structure can be represented by a combination of LC series and parallel resonant circuits. Also these resonant properties can be easily controlled by varying the geometry of the aperture and four armed conducting patch. Actually, the structure is fabricated on the microstrip substrate by use of etching technique so that it is formed an iris type resonator which can be easily put into the transverse plane of the waveguide. We use WR-90 standard waveguide, adapters, and VNA(vector network analyzer) to measure the resonant characteristics of the structure. It is very useful to design and to improve the cutoff skirts characteristics in the waveguide band-pass filter design area.
