In general, PLL or DDS are mainly used as precise and stable frequency synthesis methods. For stable operation, a PWM frequency generation algorithm was designed and implemented using FPGA. This is an algorithm that creates a frequency 8,192 times the target frequency and then performs the D flip-flop 13 times to generate multiple frequencies with a precision of 1 Hz. Using the designed algorithm, it is applied to the Berthing system for stopping trains in station. The applied product was developed and tested against the existing operating system to confirm its superior performance in terms of frequency generation accuracy.

Two frequency synthesizers are proposed to generate a clock for a sub-sampler of an on-chip oscilloscope in this paper. These proposed frequency synthesizers are designed by using a multi-phase delayed-locked loop (DLL)-based phase selector and a fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL), and they are analyzed by comparing simulation results of each frequency synthesizer. Two proposed frequency synthesizers are designed using a 65-nm CMOS process with a 1V supply and output the clock with the frequency of 121.15 MHz when the frequency of an input clock is 125 MHz. The designed frequency synthesizer using a multi-phase DLL-based phase selector has the area of 0.167 $mm^2$ and the peak-to-peak jitter performance of 2.88 ps when it consumes the power of 4.75 mW. The designed frequency synthesizer using a fractional-N PLL has the area of 0.662 $mm^2$ and the peak-to-peak jitter performance of 7.2 ps when it consumes the power of 1.16 mW.

A prescaler is an essential building block for PLL-based frequency synthesizers and must satisfy high-speed and low-power characteristics. The design of D-flip flips used in the prescaler implementation is thus critical. Conventional TSPC D-flip flops suffer from glitches, unbalanced propagation delay, and unnecessary charge/discharge at internal nodes in precharge phase, which results in increased power consumption. In this paper a new dynamic D-flip flop is proposed to overcome these problems. Glitches are minimized using discharge suppression scheme, speed is improved by making balanced propagation delay, and low power consumption is achieved by removing unnecessary discharge. The proposed D-flip flop is employed in designing a 128/129 dual-modulus prescaler using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process parameters. The designed prescaler operates up to 5GHz while conventional one can operate up to 4.5GHz under same conditions. It consumes 0.394mW at 4GHz that is a 34% improved result compared with conventional one.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of Korean Medicine treatment on lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and predictive factors associated with disc resorption by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods A retrospective study was carried out in 79 lumbar disc herniation patients who had visited Haeundae Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine. Patients' diagnosis was based on MRI. MRI was performed on two or more occasions and patients were received Korean Medicine treatment within the period. The volume of each herniated disc was measured three-dimensionally and patient characteristics, interval between MRIs, herniated disc level, disc herniation type, disc migration, intactness of posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL), initial volume of herniated disc, modic change, disc resorption rate were statistically analyzed. Results The mean volumes of herniated discs before Korean Medicine treatment and after Korean Medicine treatment were $1,547.81{\pm}598.15mm^3$ and $947.06{\pm}335.28mm^3$, respectively. The mean resorption rate was $35.7{\pm}16.3%$. Disc extent, intactness of PLL and initial volume of herniated discs were significantly correlated with resorption rate (p=0.003, p=0.001 and p=0.024, respectively). Conclusions Korean Medicine treatment is an effective conservative treatment for lumbar disc herniation. Factors such as disc migration, intactness of PLL, initial volume of herniated disc have a significant association with disc resorption rate.

In this paper, we proposed a charge pump (CP) circuit that has a wide operating range while reducing the current mismatch for the PLL that generates the main clock of the CMOS X-Ray detector. The operating range and current mismatch of the CP circuit are determined by the characteristics of the current source circuit for the CP circuit. The proposed CP circuit is implemented with a wide operating current mirror bias circuit to secure a wide operating range and a cascode structure with a large output resistance to reduce current mismatch. The proposed wide operating range cascode CP circuit was fabricated as a chip using a 350nm CMOS process, and current matching characteristics were measured using a source measurement unit. At this time, the power supply voltage was 3.3 V and the CP circuit current ICP = 100 ㎂. The operating range of the proposed CP circuit is △VO_Swing=2.7V, and the maximum current mismatch is 5.15 % and the maximum current deviation is 2.64 %. The proposed CP circuit has low current mismatch characteristics and can cope with a wide frequency range, so it can be applied to systems requiring various clock speed.

Many studies have been conducted to reduce environmental pollution by ships and reduce fuel consumption. As part of this effort, research on power conversion systems through DC distribution systems that link renewable energy with conventional power grids has been pursued as well. The diode rectifiers currently used include many lower harmonics in the input current of the load and distort supply voltage to lower the power quality of the whole system. This distortion of voltage waveforms causes the malfunctions of generators, load devices and inverter pole switching elements, resulting in a large number of switching losses. In this paper, a controller is presented to improve DC output waveforms, the input Power Factor and the THD of an AFE type PWM rectifier used for PLL. DC output voltage waveforms have been improved, and the input Power Factor can now be matched to the unit power factor. In addition, the THD of the input power supply has been proven by simulation to comply with the requirements of IEEE Std514-2014.

An electronic circuit that converts light signal to electronic signal has been also developed using phase locked loop(PLL). It was found that this types of dual probe LDV can be used in differential mode and self-vibration compensation mode.

본 논문에서는 자기저항 (Magnetic Resistive, MR)각도 센서에서 자속 간섭 및 축 진동과 같은 외란에 의해 발생하는 각도맥동을 해결하는 방법이 연구되었다. 외란에 의한 각도 맥동은 일정한 기계각 속도 한 주기 내에서 전기각 속도가 불균일하게 측정되는 현상이다. 이를 해결하기 위해 위상동기루프 (phase locked loop, PLL)를 적용하였고, 자기저항 각도 센서의 각도 맥동을 효과적으로 제거하였다.
