The thermistors and AD590 are widely used for temperature measurement in space application. The resistance of thermistor will vary according to the temperature variation therefore the external voltage or current stimulus signal have to be provided to measure resistance variation. Recently high resolution electro optic camera system of satellite requires tight thermal control of the camera structure to minimize the thermal structural distortion which can affects the image quality. In order to achieve $1^{\circ}$(deg C) thermal control requirement, the accuracy of temperature measurement have to be higher than $0.3^{\circ}$(deg C). In this paper, the accuracy of temperature measurement using thermistors is estimated and analyzed.

In this paper, we investigated the effect of Co content on the microstructural and electrical properties of $Ni_{0.79}Mn_{2.21-x}Co_xO_4$ (x=0 to 0.25) specimens. Solid-state reaction was used to prepare the bulk specimens. XRD (X-ray diffraction) patterns showed that all compositions had a cubic spinel phase. As a result of the microstructural properties, FE-SEM(field-emission scanning electron microscopy) analysis showed a dense structure, and the mean grain size increased from $5.24{\mu}m$ to $7.33{\mu}m$ with an increase of Co content from x=0 to 0.25. All specimens exhibited the typical NTC thermistor characteristics as the electrical resistance exponentially decreased with increasing temperature. The resistivity and the B-value of $Ni_{0.79}Mn_{1.96}Co_{0.25}O_4$ were $2959{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and 3719, respectively.

인류는 지금 2차석기시대를 맞이하고 있으며 이 시대는 인공으로 만들어지는 돌인 세라믹이 단순히 용기나 도구로 사용되는 것 이외에 정보화사회에 있어서 기술의 관건이 될 지능소자로서 사용되고 있다. 세라믹은 내열성, 내식성, 내마모성이라는 특성으로 인해 많이 이용되어 왔지만 이러한 특성 이외에도 전자적 기능, 광학기능, 화학기능 등 "두뇌"도 우수한 재료라 할 수 있다. 더구나 세라믹은 인간을 대신하여 감지하는 것이 가능한 각종 센서로서도 폭넓게 이용되고 있다. 인간에 있어서 눈, 코, 귀, 혀, 피부 등 오감이 센서이며, 눈은 물체를 식별하는 것으로 빛을 검출하고 귀는 소리를 듣는 것으로 압력과 음파를 검출하고, 코는 냄새로 가스나 온도를 검출하고, 혀는 맛으로 미각을 검출하고, 피부는 촉각에 의한 압력, 온도, 습도를 검출하며, 인간의 오감에 대응되지 않는 것으로 세라믹 센서는 자기장을 감지할 수 있다. 이와같이 센서는 용도에 따라 수많은 센서가 개발되어 그 종류가 대단히 많기 때문에 모든 센서에 대해서 기술한다는 것은 어렵다. 그러므로 여기서는 센서중에서 기본적인 가스센서와 습도센서에 대해 소개하기로 한다. 소개하기로 한다.

It was examined that the relationship between microstructures, electrical properties and crystal structure of (1-x)CaMnO$_3$-xCaTiO$_3$solid solution system which was made by mixing a semiconducting material CaMnO$_3$of low resistance and a dielectric material CaTiO$_3$of high resistance with variable ratios (x=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0). As the CaTiO$_3$increased, the resistance, B constant and lattice constant were increased, but the grain size was decreased. On particular, above 50wt% of CaTiO$_3$, the resistance at 2 5$^{\circ}C$ was rapidly increased due to the correlation in connectivity of the lattices between the conductive Mn$^{+4}$ octahedron and the insulative Ti$^{+4}$ octahedron.ron.

Mn-Ni oxide thin films for NTC thermistor application were sputtered on alumina substrates at $320^{\circ}C$ Effects of various oxygen partial pressures and annealing temperatures on the microstructure, crystal phase, resistivity and B constant were investigated. In general, microstructure of the films deposited was columnar grain structure. After annealing at $700^{\circ}C$, the microstructure was begun to transform to equiaxed grain structure. Most of the phases were mixture of cubic spinel and $Mn_2$$O_3$. As the oxygen concentration increased, the resistivity and B constant were greatly decreased, and these values become low and stable after annealing between $600^{\circ}C$ and $700^{\circ}C$.

(La_0.5Nd_0.2Sr_0.3)MnO₃ specimens were prepared by a solid-state reaction. In all specimens, X-ray diffraction patterns of an orthorhombic structure were shown. The fracture surfaces of (La_0.5Nd_0.2Sr_0.3)MnO₃ specimens showed a transgranular fracture pattern be possibly due to La ions (0.122 nm) as a perovskite A-site dopant substituting for Nd ions (0.115 nm) having a small ionic radius. The full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of the Mn 2p XPS spectra showed a value greater than that [8] of the single valence state, which is believed to be due to the overlapping of Mn²⁺, Mn³⁺, and Mn⁴⁺ ions. The dependence of Mn 2p spectra on the Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ ratio according to sintering time was not observed. Electrical resistivity resulted in the minimum value of 100.7 Ω-cm for the specimen sintered for 9 hours. All specimens show a typical negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) characteristics. In the 9-hour sintered specimen, TCR, activation energy, and B25/65-value were -1.24%/℃, 0.19 eV, and 2,445 K, respectively.

Open-type current sensors have been commonly used for DC motor controller, AC variable controller and Uninterruptible Power Supply. Recently they have begun to be used more widely, as the growth of renewable energy and smart-grid in power system. Considering most of the open-type current sensors are imported, developing the core technology needed to produce open-type current sensors is required. This paper describes the development and test results of open-type current sensors. Design of C type magnetic core, selection and test of a Hall sensor, design of current source circuit and signal conditioning circuit are described. 100A class DIP(Dual In-line Package) type and SMD(Surface Mount Devide) type open-type current sensors was made and tested. Test results show that the developed open-type current sensor satisfies the accuracy requirement of 2% and linearity requirement of 2% at 100 A of DC and AC current of 60Hz. Temperature compensation was carried out by using a temperature compensation circuit with NTC(Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor and the effect of the temperature compensation are described.
