This paper describes the performance of a Ku-band 5-bit monolithic phase shifter with metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) switches and the implementation of a ceramic packaged phase shifter for phase array antennas. Using compensation resistors reduced the insertion loss variation of the phase shifter. Measurement of the 5-bit phase shifter with a monolithic microwave integrated circuit demonstrated a phase error of less than $7.5{\circ}$ root-mean-square (RMS) and an insertion loss variation of less than 0.9 dB RMS for 13 to 15 GHz. For all 32 states of the developed 5-bit phase shifter, the insertion losses were $8.2{\pm}1.4$dB, the input return losses were higher than 7.7 dB, and the output return losses were higher than 6.8 dB for 13 to 15 GHz. The chip size of the 5- bit monolithic phase shifter with a digital circuit for controlling all five bits was 2.35 mm ${\times}$1.65 mm. The packaged phase shifter demonstrated a phase error of less than $11.3{\circ}$ RMS, measured insertion losses of 12.2 ${\pm}$2.2 dB, and an insertion loss variation of 1.0 dB RMS for 13 to 15 GHz. For all 32 states, the input return losses were higher than 5.0 dB and the output return losses were higher than 6.2 dB for 13 to 15 GHz. The size of the packaged phase shifter was 7.20 mm${\times}$ 6.20 mm.

In this paper, we compared the performances of the Right Handed Transmission Line (RHTL) and the Left Handed Transmission Line (LHTL) phase shifters as a frequency translator. Unlike other phase shifters, both phase shifters show a $0^{\circ}-360^{\circ}$ phase variation for a broadband frequency and compact in size which are ideal to use as a frequency translator. For the performance comparison, we fabricated both a RHTL and a LHTL phase shifter to cover 1.5 GHz - 2.4 GHz range with the whole $360^{\circ}$ phase variation. For the frequency range, a LHTL based frequency translator showed a much better performance whose Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) is 4dB - 17dB higher than the RHTL based frequency translator when the sawtooth modulation freqncy is 11 kHz. This is due to the linear phase-voltage variation of LHTL phase shifter. Furthermore, the LHTL phase shifter shows a less insertion loss and a insertion loss variation than the RHTL phase shifter. Overall, the LHTL based frequency translator outperformed RHTL based freqency translator.

Cosmic rays are ions that move at relativistic speeds. They generate secondary cosmic rays by successive collisions with atmospheric particles, and then, the secondary particles reach the ground. The secondary particles are mainly neutrons and muons, and the neutrons are observed by the ground neutron monitor. This study compared the diurnal variation in cosmic ray intensity obtained via harmonic analysis and that obtained through the pile-up method, which was examined in a previous study. In addition, we analyzed the maximum phase of the diurnal variation using four neutron monitors with a cutoff rigidity below approximately 6 GV, located at similar longitudes to the Oulu and Rome neutron monitors. Expanding the data of solar cycles 20-24, we examined the time of the maximum cosmic ray intensity, that is, the maximum phase regarding the solar cyclic modulation. During solar cycles 20-24, the maximum phase derived by harmonic analysis showed no significant difference with that derived by the pile-up method. Thus, the pile-up method, a relatively straightforward process to analyze diurnal variation, could replace the complex harmonic analysis. In addition, the maximum phase at six neutron monitors shows the 22-year cyclic variation very clearly. The maximum phase tends to appear earlier and increase the width of the variation in solar cycles as the cutoff rigidity increases.

Variation of dielectric constant in PMN-Pyrochlore diphasic mixtures were investigated with grain size of pyrochlore phase. Size of pyrochlore phase was controlled by the numbers of calcining and sedimentation method during powder processing. When grain size of pyrochlore phase is large in the sintered specimen, dielectric constant slowly decreased with increase of amount of pyrochlore phase. On the contary, grain size of pyrochlore phase is small, dielectric constant drastically decreased. It was thought that small sized pyrochlore grains more easily surrounded high dielectric phase (perovskite PMN) than large ones with addition of pyrochlore phase.

본 논문에서는 주파수 변화 감지 회로 (FVSC : frequency variation sensing circuit)를 포함하는 부궤환 루프를 가지는 저잡음 위상고정루프를 제안하였다. 위상 고정 상태에서 전압제어발진기의 출력주파수가 변화할 때 주파수 변화 감지 회로는 루프 필터의 커패시터의 전하량을 조절하여 제안한 위상고정루프의 위상잡음과 지터 특성을 개선할 수 있다. 위상고정루프의 출력 주파수가 증가하면 주파수 변화 감지 회로가 루프 필터 커패시터 전하를 감소시킨다. 이는 루프필터 출력 전압을 하강하게 하여 위상고정루프 출력 주파수가 하강하게 된다. 추가된 부궤환 루프는 제안한 위상고정루프의 위상잡음 특성을 더욱 더 좋게 한다. 주파수 변화 감지 회로에 사용된 커패시터 크기는 영점을 결정하는 루프 필터 커패시터 크기와 비교하여도 아주 작은 크기이어서 칩 크기에 영향을 미치지 않는다. 제안된 저잡음 위상고정루프는 1.8V 0.18㎛ CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 273fs 지터와 1.5㎲ 위상고정시간을 보여주었다.

The degradation due to channel distortion in a quadrature modulation system from the ideal constant values over the bandwidth of a direct sequence spread spectrum signal are considered. Through using series expansion for the channel gain and phase response, the degradation in the correlator output at the receiver is found as a function of the parameters involved , including phase error, delay error, linear gin variation, quadratic gain variation, and quadratic phase variation.

본 논문은 Feedforward 선형화기에서 온도영향으루 인한 군속도 지연선로의 위상 변화를 벡터 결합이론을 이용하여 고정시키는 회로에 관한 것이다. 상온에서의 군속도 지연선로의 신호 전달특성이 항상 일정하게 유지되게 하기 위해, 온도에 따른 군속도 지연선로의 신호에 온도변화에 대해 자동 적응적으로 변하는 보정신호를 인가하여 온도변화에도 항상 일정한 신호특성을 얻도록 하였다. 이 전송선로에 10 ㏈의 동작신호 레벨 변화와 +/-$10^{\circ}$의 위상 변화에 대해 880 MHz 및 1-tone 신호는 0.06 ㏈의 삽입 손실 변화와 0.36$^{\circ}$의 위상이내에서 위상이 변했고, 877 MHz 및 882 MHz인 2-tone 신호에 대해 0.07 ㏈의 삽입손실변화와 0.35$^{\circ}$의 위상이내에서 위상이 변하는 특성을 얻었다.

This paper proposes a compensation algorithm for reducing a specific ripple component on synchronous reference frame phase locked loop (SRF-PLL) in grid-tied single-phase inverters. In general, SRF-PLL, which is based on all-pass filter to generate virtual voltage, is widely used to estimate the grid phase angle in a single-phase system. In reality, the estimated grid phase angle might be distorted because the phase difference between actual and virtual voltages is not 90 degrees. That is, the phase error is caused by the difference between cut-off frequency of all-pass filter and grid frequency under grid frequency variation. Therefore, the effects on phase angle and output current attributed to the phase error are mathematically analyzed in this paper. In addition, the proportional resonant (PR) controller is adapted to reduce the effects of phase error. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified through several simulations and experiments.

Three-level diode clamped multilevel inverter, generally known as neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter, has an inherent problem causing neutral point (NP) potential variation. Until now, the NP potential problem of variation has been investigated and lots of solutions have also been proposed. This paper presents a neutral point voltage control technology using the anti-windup PI controller and offset technology of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to control the variation of NPC 3-phase three-level inverter neutral point voltage. And the proposed algorithm is tested and verified using a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) in order to synchronize the phase voltage from the line voltage of grid. It significantly improves the voltage balancing under a solar fluctuation conditions of the inverter. Experimental results show the good performance and effectiveness of the proposed method.

The binder phase for TiC reinforced steel matrix composite was added in the form of elemental powders and master alloy powders. The microstructures, binder phase variation with TiC content and mechanical properties were evaluated. The addition of a type of binder phase largely effects the microstructure and mechanical properties. The binder phase variation from starting composition was observed with increase in wt% TiC content and this variation was higher when the master alloy powders were used as a binder. The response to heat treatment was decreased with an increase in TiC content due to the shift of binder phase from the starting composition.
