Colpitts VOC(Voltage Controlled Oscillator)의 새로운 모델링을 제시하였다. 일반적으로 VOC의 해석에는 2차원 모델이 사용되고 있는데 본 논문에서는 3차원 모델을 사용하였다. 이는 수학적으로 정확함은 물론 실제적으로도 유용하게 사용할 수 있다. 이러한 잇점은 실제의 VOC는 콜피츠 발진회로에 기초한 것이며 이는 3차원 시스템이기 때문이다. 모델링은 선형 근사법으로 시작하여 HBM(harmonic balance method)에 의하여 비선형 해석으로 접근하였다. 이 해석에서는 시스템의 출력에 영향을 주는 발진과 함께, 겹쳐서 나타나는 시프팅 바이어스라는 새로운 모드의 존재를 드러내었다. 더우기 해석의 성과는 발진 주파수의 변화를 시도하고자 할 때 발진기의 피라미터를 변화시키는 유용한 과정을 추출하였다. 시뮬레이션으로 이를 확인하고 개인용 휴대전화기에 사용될 GaAs MESFET VCO 실제회로에 적용시켜 본 결과 매우 잘 일치하였다.

The AMR(automatic meter reading) system has been increasingly and widely used for its efficient and intelligent management, which is a technology that automatically collects consumption data from a water meter or energy metering device. The digital meter instead of the mechanical meter should be used in the system. Up to now, various types of sensor to measure the water flow rate have been used in the digital water meter, for example, reed switch, photo IR approximate sensor, ultrasonic sensor, electromagnetic sensor, etc. In this paper, a new sensing technology, where a variable capacitor and digital circuit were used for sensing the water flow rate, was proposed. The circuit was designed and verified by Pspice simulation. And a PCB board for the circuit was fabricated. After then, a prototype of digital water meter using a variable capacitor to measure the water flow rate was fabricated. The function tests of the fabricated digital water meter were performed, and it was found that the meter worked properly. Since the new technology has much better properties in terms of cost and power consumption compared to conventional technologies, it should be one of the major digital water meter technologies in the future.

We explored how changes in blood vessel compliance affected the systolic rise time (SRT) of the maximum blood pressure (BP) peak wave and the diastolic fall time (DFT) of the minimal BP peak wave, compared to photoplethysmograpic (PPG) parameters, using a two-compartment, second-order, arterial Windkessel model. We employed earlier two-compartment Windkessel models and the components thereof to construct equivalent blood vessel circuits, and reproduced BP waveforms using PSpice technology. The SRT and DFT values were obtained via circuit simulation, considering variations in compliance (the dominant influence on blood vessel parameters attributable to BP changes). And then performed regression analysis to identify how compliance affected the SRT and DFT. We compared the SRTs and DFTs of BP waves to the PPG values by reference to BP changes in each subject. We confirmed that the time-shift propensities of BP waves and the PPG data were highly consistent. However, the time shifts differed significantly among subjects. These simulation and experimental results allowed us to construct an initial trend curve of individual BP peak time (measured via wrist PPG evaluations at three arm positions) that facilitated accurate individual BP estimations.

본 논문에서는 갈륨비소 연산 증폭기의 입력단 설계에 있어서 기초가 되는 차동 증폭기에 사용될 이득 증가 기법을 적용한 단일 증폭기와 새로운 구성의 전류 미러를 설계하였다.차동 전압 이득을 높이기 위하여 단일 증폭기의 bootstrap 이득 증가 기법을 이용하여 차증 증폭기를 구성하였다. 차동 증폭기에 사용되는 정전류원으로서 주파수 특성이 우수한 선형 역상 전류 미러를 사용하여 회로의 안정화를 꾀하였다. 또한, 동상 전압 이득을 감소시키기 위하여 common mode feedback을 사용함으로써 차동 증폭기의 성능 평가에 있어서중요한 CMRR을 높였다.PSPICE를 통한 시뮬레이션 결과, 기본 단일 증폭기의 이득은 29.dB인데 비하여 새로 설계된 new bootstrapped 이득 증가 기법을 사용한 경우에는 57.67db로써 이득이 28.26dB 개선되었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 본 논문에서 설계한 차동 증폭기는 차동 이득이 57.66dB, CMRR이 83.98dB로써 기존의 논문보다 향상되었고 주파수 특성면에서도 차단 주파수가 23.26GHz로써 우수함을 입증하였다.

A new three phase three-level Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Switched Voltage Source (SVS) inverter with zero neutral point potential is proposed. It consists of three single-phase inverter modules. Each module is composed of a switched voltage source and inverter switches. The major advantage is that the peak value of the phase output voltage is twice as high as that of a conventional neutral-point-clamped (NPC) PWM inverter. Thus, the proposed inverter is suitable for applications with low voltage sources such as batteries, fuel cells, or solar cells. Furthermore, three-level waveforms of the proposed inverter can be achieved without the switch voltage imbalance problem. Since the average neutral point potential of the proposed inverter is zero, a common ground between the input stage and the output stage is possible. Therefore, it can be applied to a transformer-less Power Conditioning System (PCS). The proposed inverter is verified by a PSpice simulation and experimental results based on a laboratory prototype.

The importance of improving the quality of electric power is being strongly raised, owing to an increasing use of sensitive and small-sized electronic devices and systems. The transient over-voltages on low-voltage power distribution systems are induced by direct or indirect lightning return strokes. These can cause damage and/or malfunction of the utility systems for home automation, office automation, factory automation, medical automation, etc. The behaviors of lightning overvoltages transferred through the transformer to the low-voltage distribution systems using a Marx generator were experimentally investigated. Furthermore, the coupling mechanisms of lightning overvoltages transferred to the low-voltage systems were clearly illustrated through a theoretical simulation using a Pspice program. The overvoltages in low-voltage ac power systems are rarely limited by the application of the surge arrester to the primary side of the distribution transformer. A superior surge protection scheme is to install surge protection devices at the service entrance switchboard and/or at the load devices in TN power systems.

Arresters are deteriorated by overvoltages or impulse currents, and the resistive leakage current of arresters increases as the deterioration of the arrester progresses, showing an increase in the 3$^{rd}$ harmonic component of the leakage current. In this reason, arrester diagnostic techniques based on the 3$^{rd}$ harmonic leakage current as a reference parameter of deterioration are widely used. The technique, however, includes an error due to the harmonics of power system voltage. Therefore, the influence of the harmonics on arrester diagnostics should be considered. In this paper, we designed a PSpice ZnO arrester model to simulate the influence of the voltage harmonics described above. A pure sinusoidal voltage and its the 3r harmonic voltage were applied to the model, and the leakage current components were analyzed. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the peak value of resistive leakage current depends not only on the phase of the 3$^{rd}$ harmonic voltage but also on the magnitude of it. Consequently, the errors caused 1)y the harmonic voltage could be minimized by correcting the magnitude of leakage current upon analyzing the harmonics.cs.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a 2.5kW (500V, 5A) simmer circuit that maintains the ionization of xenon gas inside the lamp. The design is based on a LCC resonant converter in continuous conduction mode (CCM) with above resonant frequency to take advantage of high power density from using parasitic elements such as the leakage inductance in a power transformer. In addition, since the converter has current source output characteristics, it is suitable for maintaining ionization of the lamp having the negative resistance load characteristic. To verify this converter design, PSpice modeling was performed. Finally, the developed simmer circuit is verified by a resistive load of rated performance and the Ionization maintenance operation of the xenon flash lamp.

This paper presents a new method to implement Hebbian learning method on artificial neural network. In hebbian learning algorithm, complexity in terms of multiplications is high. To save the chip area, we consider a new learning circuit. By calculating similarity, or correlation between $X_i$ and $O_i$, large portion of circuits commonly used in conventional neural networks is not necessary for this new hebbian learning circuit named COR. The output signals of COR is applied to weight storage capacitors for direct control the voltages of the capacitors. The weighted sum, ${\Sigma}W_{ij}O_j$, is realized by multipliers, whose output currents are summed up in one line which goes to learning circuit or output circuit. The drain current of the multiplier can produce positive or negative synaptic weights. The pass transistor selects eight learning mode or recall mode. The layout of an learnable six-neuron fully connected Hopfield neural network is designed, and is simulated using PSPICE. The network memorizes, and retrieves the patterns correctly under the existence of minor noises.

Capacitor Charging Power Supply(CCPS) is one of the most important components of a pulsed power system. The CCPS is widely used in source of lasers, accelerators and plasma generators. This paper presents design of a dead time control circuit and operation characteristics for stable high repetition rate of high voltage CCPS. The CCPS consists of battery, high voltage transformer and controller with a dead time control circuit. A dead time control circuit was simulated by PSpice. The performance test of the CCPS was carried out with a 7[nF] load capacitor at output voltage of 50[kV] and a pulse repetition frequency of 100[Hz]. As a result, we can verify that charging and discharging waveform is stable at 100[Hz]. The experiment results indicate that 3[ms] dead time made it possible for stable high repetition rate of 100[Hz]. This paper paves the way for designing an advanced CCPS which is more applicable outside experiments.
