The power spectral density of a signal can be estimated most accurately by using a window with a narrow bandwidth and large sidelobe attenuation. Conventional windows generally control these characteristics by only one parameter, so there is a trade-off problem: if the bandwidth is reduced, the sidelobe attenuation is also reduced. To overcome this problem, we propose using a Butterworth window with two control parameters for power spectral density estimation and analyze its characteristics. Simulation results demonstrate that the sidelobe attenuation and the 3 dB bandwidth can be controlled independently. Thus, the trade-off problem between resolution and spectral leakage in the estimated power spectral density can be overcome.

In this paper, a sub-harmonic dual-gate FET mixer for IMT-2000 base-station was designed by using single-gate FET cascode structure and driven by the second order harmonic component of LO signal. The dual-gate FET mixer has the characteristic of high conversion gain and good isolation between ports. Sub-harmonic mixing is frequently used to extend RF bandwidth for fixed LO frequency or to make LO frequency lower. Furthermore, the LO-to-RF isolation characteristic of a sub-harmonic mixer is better than that of a fundamental mixer because the frequency separation between the RE and LO frequency is large. As RF power is -30dBm and LO power is 0dBm, the designed mixer shows the -47.17dBm LO-to-RF leakage power level, 10dB conversion gain, -0.5dBm OIP3, -10.5dBm IIP3 and -1dBm 1dB gain compression point.

We have successfully demonstrated metal-ferroel-ectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS) devices using Al/LiNbO$_{3}$/SiN/Si structure. The SiN thin films were made into metal -insulator- semiconductor (MIS) devices by thermal evaporation of aluminum source in a dot away on the surface. The interface property of MFIS from 1MHz & quasistatic C-V is good and the memory window width is about 1.5V at 0.2V/s signal voltage sweep rate. The gate leakage current density of MFIS capacitors using a aluminum electrode showed the least value of 1x10$^{-8}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ order at the electric field of 300㎸/cm. And the XRD patterns shows the probability of applications of LN for MFIS devices for FeRAMs on amorphous SiN buffer layer.

Leaks in underground pipelines can cause social, environmental and economical problems. One of relevant countermeasures against leaks is to find and repair of leak points of the pipes. Leak noise is a good source to identify the location of leak points of the pipelines. Although there have been several methods to detect the leak location with leak noise, such as listening rods, hydrophones or ground microphones, they have not been so efficient tools. In this paper, accelermeters aroused to detect leak locations which could provide an easier and more efficient method. Filtering, signal processing and algorithm of raw input data from sensors for the detection of leak location are described. A 120m-long and a 70m-long experimental pipeline systems are installed and the results with the systems show that the algorithm with the accelerometers offers accurate pinpointing for leaks location detection. Theoretical analysis of sound wave propagation speed of water in underground pipes, which is critically important in leak locating, is also described.

Electro-pneumatic servo valve is an electro-mechanical device which converts electric signal into pneumatic flow rate or pressure. In order to improve the overall performance of pneumatic servo systems, electro-pneumatic servo valves are required, which have fast dynamic characteristic, no air leakage at null, and can be fabricated at a low-cost. The first objective of this research is to design and fabricate a new electro-pneumatic servo valve which satisfies the above-mentioned requirements. In this paper, we has been modeled as a system consisting of coupled electro-mechanic and mechanical subsystems. The appropriateness of the model has been verified by simulation. The simulation model resolves the valve body motion and the solenoid current at high accuracy. Also, we are calculate the displacement of spool and computed results show winding currents, magnetic actuator force, flux density line, displacement, velocity, back EMF, eddy current etc.

This paper addresses a feature-based robust watermarking scheme for digital images using a local invariant features of SURF (Speeded-Up Robust Feature) descriptor. In general, the feature invariance is exploited to achieve robustness in watermarking schemes, but the leakage of information about hidden watermarks from publicly known locations and sizes of features are not considered carefully in security perspective. We propose embedding and detection methods where the watermark is bound with circular areas and inserted into extracted circular feature regions. These methods enhance the robustness since the circular watermark is inserted into the selected non-overlapping feature regions instead of entire image contents. The evaluation results for repeatability measures of SURF descriptor and robustness measures present the proposed scheme can tolerate various attacks, including signal processing and geometric distortions.

This paper presents a newly developed transformer-less single phase inverter for a photovoltaic (PV) power system. In the proposed system, there is no earth-leakage current at all in the theoretical base, and the main circuit of this system is rather simple and it is expected the higher efficiency will be realized. The system is operated by a digital signal processor (DSP) which makes it more flexible in the control. From the experimental results, it is found that this new inverter supplies the AC power to utility grid line with the power factor of nearly unity.

In this paper, a study on a portable hydrogen alarm system based on the palladium coated single mode fiber sensor has been reported. The fabricated hydrogen sensor exhibited 0.14 dB, 0.41 dB and 0.54 dB optical intensity variation when it was exposed by the nitrogen and hydrogen mixed gas containing 0.5 %, 1 % and 4 % of the hydrogen concentration, respectively. The fabricated sensor exhibited 20 second of response time and 120 second of recovery time for 4 % hydrogen containing gas. The fiber optics layout and software algorithm for detection of hydrogen leakage have been presented. The implanted portable hydrogen alarm system successfully generated an alarm signal when a 4 % hydrogen containing gas was leaked out.

자기누설탐상시스템은 지하에 매설된 가스관에서 발생되는 부식이나 크랙 또는 기계적 변형을 탐지하기 위한 방법으로 비파괴검사 방법의 하나이다. 가스관은 Nd자석에 의해 착자가 되고, 가스관에 부식이 발생했을 경우 가스관의 단면적이 작아지게 되어 자기누설이 발생하며, 발생된 자기누설을 홀센서로 검출하여 부식의 유무, 크기, 모양 등을 판별하게 된다. 지하매설 배관은 배관의 직경은 같으나 배관의 두께는 다양하게 존재한다. 특히 30inch의 배관에는 배관의 두께가 11.1, 14.3, 17.5 mm 등이 있다. 자기누설탐상시스템은 배관의 단면적 변화를 감지하는 것이기 때문에 배관의 두께에 따라 그 특성이 변화하게 된다. 또한 두께에 따른 결함의 종류에 따라서 검출신호도 변화하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 배관의 두께 변화에 따른 검출신호를 분석하였으며, 두께 변화의 영향을 적용하여 검출신호를 보정하기 위한 방법을 제시하였다.
