In this paper, a small signal model for grid-connected inverter with unipolar pulse width modulation method is presented. Small-signal analysis allows to predict the stability and dynamics of the inverter. To regulate output voltage and to achieve power factor correction, inverter has two control loops. Loop gains are useful to identify the stability for multi-loop controlled system. Based on small-signal model, controllers are designed to improve audio susceptibility and output impedance characteristics. Proposed small-signal model and controllers are verified by PSIM simulation and experiments.

In this paper, we designed a printed square loop antenna for operating of PCS and IMT2000 band. The proposed antenna has omni-directional radiation patterns with broad bandwidth, similar to the conventional antenna, to easy feed on composing single planar. We obtain an ideal impedance matching and increase bandwidth. An antenna bandwidth is about 150MHz(1.74∼l.89〔GHz〕) at 1$^{st}$ resonance frequency and 290MHz(1.95∼2.24GHz) at 2$^{nd}$ resonance frequency on VSWR(equation omitted)1.5, and then we can obtain not only 1.73∼l.87 〔GHz〕 PCS band but also 1.92∼2.17 (GHz) IMT2000 band. band.

In this paper, Coplanar waveguide(CPW)-fed slot loop antenna, which is applicable to the dual band(2.4GHz~2.4835GHz, 5.15GHz~5.825GHz) for the wireless LAN, is proposed. In order to miniaturize the proposed antenna, slot loop is bent by meandering. The resonant frequencies in the required dual band are adjusted by variation of the resonant length of slot loop as well as slot width. In particular, use of capacitive coupling CPW feed provides impedance matching without a seperate matching circuit, because the amount of electromagnetic coupling can be controlled by the offset between feed and radiator. As a result, it has been observed that the proposed antenna satisfies not only the required return loss(${\leq}10dB$) but also has high efficiency(${\geq}80%$) over the whole frequency band. In order to check the validity of the proposed antenna, some simulated results for return loss and radiation pattern are presented in comparison with the measured results.

This paper presents a wide-frequency-range, low-power transceiver with an automatic impedance-matching calibration for TV-white-space (TVWS) application. The wide-range automatic impedance matching calibration (AIMC) is proposed for the Drive Amplifier (DA) and LNA. The optimal $S_{22}$ and $S_{11}$ matching capacitances are selected in the DA and LNA, respectively. Also, the Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch is integrated to share the antenna and matching network between the transmitter and receiver, thereby minimizing the systemic cost. An N-path filter is proposed to reject the large interferers in the TVWS frequency band. The current-driven mixer with a 25% duty LO generator is designed to achieve the high-gain and low-noise figures; also, the frequency synthesizer is designed to generate the wide-range LO signals, and it is used to implement the FSK modulation with a programmable loop bandwidth for multi-rate communication. The TVWS transceiver is implemented in $0.13{\mu}m$, 1-poly, 6-metal CMOS technology. The die area of the transceiver is $4mm{\times}3mm$. The power consumption levels of the transmitter and receiver are 64.35 mW and 39.8 mW, respectively, when the output-power level of the transmitter is +10 dBm at a supply voltage of 3.3 V. The phase noise of the PLL output at Band 2 is -128.3 dBc/Hz with a 1 MHz offset.

This paper presents a design of RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) tag antenna which is available for a vehicle's side mirror and directivity characteristics by mr body. The proposed Tag antenna is designed symmetrical structure to improve the broad bandwidth characteristic and the readable range. A proposed tag antenna($30\;mm{\times}24\;mm{\times}1\;mm$) has resonant frequency at 910 MHz and bandwidth is 780 MHz ($540\;MHz{\sim}1320\;MHz$). The chip impedance is the 16 - $j131\;{\Omega}$ and the complex conjugate impedance of commercial chip has been used for tag antenna design. In order to evaluate effects of tag antenna for side view mirror's permittivity as well as car body(conductor), radiation pattern characteristics and readable range have been calculated and measured. The optimized position for a vehicle's RFID system has been observed in the inside of a side mirror and the calculated results show good agreement with the measured results.

The methyl 2-(1,3-dithietan -2- ylidene)-3-oxobutanoate (MDYO) and 2-(1,3-dithietan-2-ylidene) cyclohexane -1,3-dione (DYCD) were synthesized and tested at various concentrations as corrosion inhibitors for 316L stainless steel in 1 M HCl using weight loss, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), surface analysis techniques (SEM / EDX and Raman spectroscopy) and Functional Density Theory (DFT) was also used to calculate quantum parameters. The obtained results indicated that the inhibition efficiency of MDYO and DYCD increases with their concentration, and the highest value of corrosion inhibition efficiency was determined in the range of concentrations investigated (0.01 × 10^-3 - 10^-3 M). Polarization curves (Tafel extrapolation) showed that both compounds act as mixed-type inhibitors in 1M HCl solutions. Electrochemical impedance spectra (Nyquist plots) are characterized by a capacitive loop observed at high frequencies, and another small inductive loop near low frequencies. The thermodynamic data of adsorption of the two compounds on the stainless steel surface and the activation energies were determined and then discussed. Analysis of experimental results shows that MDYO and DYCD inhibitors adsorb to the metal surface according to the Langmuir model and the mechanism of adsorption of both inhibitors involves physisorption. SEM-EDX results confirm the existence of an inhibitor protective film on the stainless steel surface. The results derived from theoretical calculations supported the experimental observation.

This study proposes controller with voltage-compensated drivers for producing gray-scaled pictures on passive matrix organic light emitting diodes (PMOLEDs) panels. The controller includes voltage type drivers so the output impedance of the driver is far less than that of the current-type driver. Its low output impedance provides better electron-optical properties than those of traditional current drivers. A free running clock and a group of counters are applied to the gray-scaled function so that phase lock loop (PLL) circuit can be reduced in the controller. A pre-charge function is used to enhance performance of the luminance of an active OLED pixel. As a result, distribution of the low gray level portion is achieved linear relationship with input data. In this work, the digital part of the proposed controller is implemented using FPGA chips, and analog parts are combined with a digital-analog converter (DAC) and analog switches. A still image is displayed on a $48^{\ast}64$ PMOLEDs panel to assess the luminance performance fir the controller. Based on its cost requirement and luminance performance, the controller is qualified to join the market for driving PMOLEDs panels.

MI(Magneto-Impedance) sensor which is made by thin films has significantly high detecting sensitivity in weak magnetic field. It also has a merit to be able to build in low power system. Its structure is simple, which makes it easier to prepare a miniature. In this study, its magnetic permeability and anisotropy field(H$\sub$k/) as a function of a thickness of sputtered amorphous CoZrNb thin film with high saturation magnetostriction and excellent soft magnetic property are investigated. In order to make a uniaxial anisotropy, thin film was subjected to post annealing with a static magnetic field with 1KOe intensity at 250, 300, and 320$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hour. Anisotropy field(H$\sub$k/)of thin film is measured by using MH loop tracer. Its magnetic permeability of thin film is measured over the frequency range from 1 MHz to 750MHz. It has shown that the magnetic permeability of amorphous CoZrNb thin film is decreased due to the skin effect with increasing a thickness of CoZrNb thin film, and hence its driving frequency is lowered.
