Columnar-structured cesium iodide (CsI) scintillators doped with thallium (Tl) are frequently used as x-ray converters in medical and industrial imaging. In this study we investigated the imaging characteristics of CsI:Tl films with various reflective layers-aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), and titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) powder-coated on glass substrates. We used two effusion-cell sources in a thermal evaporator system to fabricate CsI:Tl films on substrates. The scintillators were observed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and scintillation characteristics were evaluated on the basis of the emission spectrum, light output, light response to x-ray dose, modulation transfer function (MTF), and x-ray images. Compared to control films without a reflective layer, CsI:Tl films with reflective layers showed better sensitivity and light collection efficiency, and the film with a $TiO_2$ reflective layer showed the best properties.

최근 급속한 녹색환경 정책으로 LED를 이용한 조명 광원들이 설치 운용하고 있으나, 이들 광원의 전원 공급은 안정된 직류 전원 공급을 위해서 스위칭 모드 전원 공급(SMPS) 장치로 전원을 공급하고 있다. 그러나, 이들 전원 공급 장치는 공급 단가 때문에 설계 및 설치과정에서 스위칭에 따른 전력과 변환역률, 전기적 노이즈 및 돌입전류들은 간과하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 SMPS는 고품질의 전원을 LED 조명 부하에 공급하기 위하여 스위칭 시에 다음과 같은 3가지 관점에서 회로를 연구하였다. 첫 번째, 역률과 효율을 약 85% 확보하고, 두 번째, 노이즈(고조파 포함) 최소화, 세 번째는 스위치-온 시 3A 돌입전류를 $100{\mu}sec$ 후 최소 0.3 A로 감소하여 돌입 전류 침입을 최소화 하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 IC형 구동기(LNK 409)를 적용하여 입력전압과 출력상황을 귀환 형태로 감시하도록 하였으며, 정전류 출력을 위하여 정전압을 유지할 수 있는 제어회로와 시상수를 개발하였다. 그러나, 부하 변동 시 미세한 전류의 불규칙으로 인한 발열 문제는 해결하지 못하고 있다. 이를 증명하고자 LED 조명 부하 46 W급을 대상으로 효과를 검증하였다.

This study proposes a novel zero voltage transition (ZVT) pulse width modulation (PWM) DC-DC interleaved boost converter with an active snubber cell. All the semiconductor devices in the converter turn on and off with soft switching to reduce the switching power losses and improve the overall efficiency. Through the interleaved approach, the current stresses of the main devices and the ripple of the output voltage and input current are reduced. The main switches turn on with ZVT and turn off with zero voltage switching (ZVS). The auxiliary switch turns on with zero current switching (ZCS) and turns off with ZVS. In addition, the snubber cell does not create additional current or voltage stress on the main switches and main diodes. The proposed converter can smoothly achieve soft switching characteristics even under light load conditions. The theoretical analysis and operating stages of the proposed converter are made for the D > 50% and D < 50% modes. Finally, a prototype of the proposed converter is implemented, and the experimental results are given in detail for 500 W and 50 kHz. The overall efficiency of the proposed converter reached 95.5% at nominal output power.

This paper presents a novel non-resonant PWM DC-DC converter for X-ray high-voltage power generator using the parasitic impedances of the high-voltage high-frequency link transformer with its output high-voltage control scheme and steady-state characteristics compared to the conventional series-parallel resonant DC-DC converter.

본 논문에서는 DPSS 기능을 갖는 3중 모드 DC-DC buck 변환기를 설계하였다. 설계된 buck 변환기는 부하 전류가 큰 경우(80mA~500mA)에는 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) 제어 방식을 사용하고, 부하 전류가 작은 경우(1mA~80mA)에는 PFM(Pulse Frequency Modulation) 제어 방식을 사용하며, 부하 전류가 1mA 이하인 대기모드(sleep-mode)에서는 LDO(Low Drop Out)를 사용한다. 또한, PFM 제어 방식에서 부하 전류가 작은 경우 효율을 증가시키기 위해 DPSS(Dynamic Partial Shutdown Strategy) 기법을 사용하였다. 그 결과 넓은 부하 전류 범위에서 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있다. 제안된 벅 변환기는 CMOS 0.18um 공정을 이용하여 설계되었다. 3.3V의 입력전압을 받아 2.5V의 출력전압으로 강압시키며, 최대 부하전류는 500mA이고, 스위칭 주파수는 1MHz이다. 최대효율은 97.03 %, 칩 크기는 PAD를 포함하여 $1465um{\times}895um$이다.

The optical performances of rounded prism films were investigated using a ray tracing technique. The angular distribution of the luminous intensity was obtained as functions of the prism pitch and the curvature of rounded apex and valley of prism arrays. The gain of the on-axis luminance decreased with decreasing curvature (increasing diameter) and pitch. The existence of the curved area on the prism film decreased the recycling efficiency of the prism film, i.e., the rays which would otherwise have been recycled through total internal reflections via the prism surfaces were refracted on the curved regions and redirected toward directions other than the on-axis direction. Quantitative correlation between the luminance gain and the curvature in addition to the prism pitch was obtained, which might serve as basic data for the optimization of prism films and the manufacturing processes.

Electrical power supply is needed to operate the radar system in the field. In addition, it should not cause performance deterioration under the environmental factors due to characteristics of military equipment, and should not cause malfunction due to electromagnetic waves generated in radar, and then should not cause malfunction in radar equipment. Therefore, By applying a permanent magnet to the rotor of the generator, light weighting and high efficiency of generator were achieved. As a result, electrical performance test of the generator, the rated output power was 80.8 kW, the maximum output power was 88.1 kW, and the output power efficiency was 98.1 % under the full load condition. When the load capacity of the generator was changed from no load to full load, the maximum voltage variation was 3.6 % and the frequency variation was 0.3 %. As a result of the transient response test for measuring the output power of the generator according to the load characteristics change, the maximum voltage variation of 7.9 %, frequency variation of 0.5 % were confirmed, and the transient response time was 2.1 seconds. Environmental tests were conducted in accordance with MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461F to evaluate the operability of the generator groups. Normal operation of radar system generator group was confirmed under high temperature and low temperature environment conditions. Electromagnetic tests were conducted to check if electromagnetic wave generated from both radar system and generator group in operation caused any performance deterioration to each other. As a result, it was confirmed that the performance deterioration due to electromagnetic wave inflow, radiation, and conduction did not occur. It is expected that it should be possible to provide high efficiency power supply and stable power supply by applying to various military system as well as radar system.

This paper proposes a low voltage high current LLC resonant converter for Green PC. Green PC is composed of a lot of blade PCs, and it is a centralized system to manage them in computer center. Green PC should require that its power supplies have several characteristics such as low output voltage, high output current, and high power conversion efficiency. Conventional PSFB (Phase Shift Full Bridge) converter is usually used as DC/DC converter for computer power supply because it has high power conversion efficiency thanks to ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) operation under middle and high load conditions. However, this converter has some problems such as large switching noise and limitation of ZVS operation under light load condition. In order to improve the performance of power supply for Green PC, a new power supply using popular high efficiency LLC resonant converter for low voltage and high current application is proposed in this paper. The proposed power supply has ZVS capability over the entire load range, thus resulting in good efficiency and high switching frequency. Experimental results verify the performance of the proposed power supply for Green PC using 2[kW] (19[V], 105[A]) rated prototype converter.
