The superiority of gallium nitride FET (GaN FET) over silicon MOSFET is examined in this paper. One of the outstanding features of GaN FET is low reverse-recovery charge, which enables continuous conduction mode operation of totem-pole bridgeless boost power factor correction (PFC) circuit. Among many bridgeless topologies, totem-pole bridgeless shows high efficiency and low conducted electromagnetic interference performance, with low cost and simple control scheme. The operation principle, control scheme, and circuit implementation of the proposed topology are provided. The converter is driven in two-module interleaved topology to operate at a power level of 5.5 kW, whereas phase-shedding control is adopted for light load efficiency improvement. Negative bias circuit is used in gate drivers to avoid the shoot-through induced by high speed switching. The superiority of GaN FET is verified by constructing a 5.5 kW prototype of two-module interleaved totem-pole bridgeless boost PFC converter. The experiment results show the highest efficiency of 98.7% at 1.6 kW load and an efficiency of 97.7% at the rated load.

In RFID field, when the neighboring readers try to occupy the same or adjacent channel simultaneously, there exists reader-to-reader interference; it calls reader collision. From the reader collision, the tags cannot response correctly query from the reader. Reader anti-collision schemes have been developed, and particularly, the Listen-Before-Talk(LBT) scheme is proposed to avoid reader collision in ETSI in multi channel environment. However, in ETSI, there is a drawback that the reader collision does not decreases effectively because the reader selects randomly a channel without considering the channel environment and readers try to occupy the channel concurrently. In this paper, we propose a algorithm based on LBT scheme considering multi channel environment as well as made up for the drawbacks of LBT The proposed algorithm applies random backoff, the collision avoidance mechanism. And it can reduce delay because of our proposed estimation mechanism Simulation using OPNET shows that the proposed algorithm achieves higher superiority than that of the simple algorithms in sparse and dense reader mode.

Understanding of the basic characteristics of an astronomical instrument is a prerequisite to obtaining reliable data from the instrument. We have analyzed more than 1,000 calibration images from the Fairchild 486 CCD (hereafter the Maidanak 4k CCD system) attached to the AZT-22 1.5m telescope at Maidanak Astronomical Observatory in Uzbekistan. The Maidanak 4k CCD system supports three readout modes through 1, 2, or 4 amplifiers. In most cases observers use 4-amplifier readout mode to save time. We have tested the stability and seasonal variation of zero levels and confirm that two quadrants of the images (Amp 1 & 2) show no appreciable seasonal variation. but the other two quadrants (Amp 3 & Amp 4) show an evident seasonal variation in the bias level. The Cryo Tiger, the cooling system used at the Maidanak 4k CCD system, maintains the CCD temperature at -108'E, and effectively suppresses the dark electrons. The mean value versus the variance plot of the flat images does not show the expected relation for an ideal Poisson noise distribution and this is attributed to the large variation in quantum efficiency between different pixels. In addition, we confirm that there is no appreciable difference in gain between readout amplifiers, but there is a large variation in quantum efficiency across CCD chip especially in U. Due to the finite length of shutter opening and closing time, the effective exposure time varies across the science images. We introduce two parameters to quantify the effect of this uneven illumination and present a method to remove these effects. We also present a method to remove the interference patterns appearing in the images obtained with longer wavelength filters and investigate the spatial variation of the point spread function.

In this paper, an integrated optical, evanescent-wave biosensor utilizing a multimode interferometer based on a Si₃N₄ rib-optical waveguide consisting of the Si/SiO₂/Si₃N₄/SiO₂ stacked structure was described. The theoretical background of the multimode interferometer was reviewed, and the structure and design process were presented through numerical computational analysis. We analyzed how the dimension (length, width) of the multimode interferometer affected the sensor performance. It has been confirmed through computational analysis that the changes in the refractive index of an analyte greatly affect the mode pattern formation position and output optical power of a multimode interferometer, and proved that this principle could be applied to integrated-optic biosensor.

전자파 잔향실(Reverberating Shielded Enclosure)의 개념은 전자파 차폐실(Shielded Enclosure)에서 얻어진 측정결과를 개선하기 위하여 1968년도에 제안되었다. 이후 Reverberating 또는 Mode-Stirred Chamber는 EM Immunity 측정뿐만 아니라 EMI측정에서도 많이 적용되어 왔지만, 국제 표준 방식으로 적용되어 오지 못하다가 최근 EMI 복사 전력 측정 및 EM Immunity 측정시설로 유용하게 사용될 수 있다는 점이 부각되어 국제 표준 방식으로 적용하자는 분위기가 무르익어 이에 대한 활발한 논의가 계속되어 오고 있다. 이러한 전자파 잔향실을 이용하여 EMI 및 EMS 시험을 실시할 수 있는 방법을 규격화시키자는 제안이 '96년 프랑스 Mandelieu 국제 전자파 장해 특별위원회(CISPR:International Special Committee on Radio Interference)회의에서 검토된 후 '97년 일본 Yokosuka CISPR 회의에서 정식의제로 채택되었다. 이 안건에 대하여 대부분의 국가들이 제안 취지에 찬성하여 NWIP(New Work Item Proposal) 문서가 각국에서 회람되었다. 초기 전자파 잔향실은 전자파 장해 및 복사 내성 측정을 위한 대용시험 시설로서 1968년 미국 Mendes에 의해 전자파 차폐실 구조에 Stirrer를 이용하여 필드의 균일도를 확보할 수 있다는 전자파 잔향실 개념이 처음으로 제안되었다. 이후 이 분야의 연구는 미국 표준 기술 연구소(NIST: National Institute of Standard and Technology)등에서 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 국제 표준화 기구인 CISPR에서 전자파 장해 및 내성 시험을 위한 대용시험 시설로서 활용하기 위하여 규격 작업이 진행중에 있다. 또한 최근 전자파 장해 방지를 위한 규제 주파수가 1∼18㎓ 까지 확장됨에 따라 이 주파수 대역에서 시험장으로 활용할 수 있는 전자파 잔향실이 새롭게 부각되고 있다. 전자파 잔향실은 기본적으로 공진 모드를 활용하기 때문에 일정한 크기의 잔향실 내부에서 전자파 균일성을 확보할 수 있는 모드 수에 의해 하한 주파수가 결정되며 충분한 모드 분포상태에서 Stirrer를 사용하여 필드 경계를 이동시킴으로서 확률적으로 균일한 필드분포를 확보하게 된다. 주파수가 증가함에 따라 모드수는 증가하기 때문에 하한 주파수 이상의 대역에 대한 시험시설로 활용할 수 있으며, 특히 ㎓ 대역에서 사용하기에 적합한 대용시험시설이라고 볼 수 있다.

This paper presents a Interleaved Buck Converter(IBC) system with Random PWM to reduce electromagnetic noise by harmonics. Swithced mode power supply generally controlled by high switching frequency have a electromagnetic interference(EMI) issue due to the high-voltage/high-current switching to regulate the voltage in buck converter. To solve the problem. we present a novel IBC system with PRBS. IBC system has two active switches with 180 phase difference that controll the cicuit with two PWM signal. IBC system may be disadventageous for the cost due to the addtion of one set of switch, but it has adventages of power distribution, current ripple cancellation, fast transient response, and passive component size reduction. To verify the validity of study, simulation program has been bulit using PSIM and the experimental results of IBC system using RPWM was compared with the conventinal PWM and randomized PWM.

In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) optical fiber tip sensor fabricated by a blade-sawing technique using a fiber optic patch cord for high-resolution temperature measurement. The sensor head consists of a short air FP cavity near the tip of a single-mode fiber patch cord tip. The temperature which we can measure is determined through a phase variation of the interference fringes in the reflective spectrum of the sensor. The fiber optic FPI sensor in this work can monitor the environmental temperature very accurately from 40 to $120^{\circ}C$. As a result, the temperature sensitivity is obtained as $38.2pm/^{\circ}C$.

This paper suggests the methods to improve the wireless backhaul link of the Relay FDD mode that 3GPP LTE-Advanced supports. New RRC message and Relay startsup procedure are introduced to apply Carrier Aggregation in the Relay wireless backhaul. Also, we design new reference signal that makes Type 1 Relay operated in full-duplexing, expecting to maximize the radio resource utilization. And, we propose the efficient configuration for the periodic uplink control information under the backhaul subframe allocation method in LTE-Advanced Relay. Hereafter, the standard activities in the 3GPP RAN is supposed to focus on the improvement of the LTE-Advanced features. Therefore, the suggestions in this paper are expected to be actively discussed in the LTE-Advanced future releases.
