전력선 통신(Power-Line Communi-cation)에 있어서 전력선은 유선 매체임에도 불구하고 수많은 분기 및 부하접속, 그리고 상호간의 임피던스 부정합에 의해 무선 통신 채널 환경과 같은 다중 경로 페이딩 특성을 갖게 된다. 따라서 채널의 다중경로 해석이 상당히 중요하며, 실제 전력선 통신 채널 연구 분야에서 신호 송수신단 사이의 임펄스 응답 측정을 바탕으로 다중경로를 분석하는 방안이 적용되고 있다. PN 시퀀스를 이용한 광대역 임펄스 응답 측정 방식은 무선 채널 환경에 대해 개발되었으나, 현재는 무선 채널은 물론 전력선 채널과 같은 유선 채널에서도 적용되고 있다. 게다가 고압 배전선로와 같이 다중 경로를 포함하는 장거리 통신채널은 PN 시퀀스 방식이 여러 가지 면에서 효율적이다[1]. 본 논문에서는 PN 시퀀스 방식의 광대역 임펄스응답 측정 방법을 통해 고압 배전선로 채널의 다중경로 특성을 측정, 검토하고 이를 제시하였다.

전력선 통신(Power-Line Communication)에 있어서 패널의 임펄스 응답은 송수신 신호의 기본적인 전달 특성이라는 점에서 매우 중요한 채널 특성이며, 채널 구성 요소들의 물리적 구조 및 각종 부하 기기들에 따라 다양하게 변화하기 때문에, 적절한 측정과 분석 및 대응이 요구된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 채널 임펄스 응답 측정에 대한 광대역 측정 방식과 협대역 측정 방식을 검토하고, 각 방식을 테스트 베드 상에서 구현하여 임펄스 응답 측정 결과를 상호 비교하고, 그 신뢰성을 확인하였다. 또, 실제 전력선 채널 환경에서 PN 시퀀스를 이용한 광대역 측정 방식의 장점을 고려하여, 국내 일반적인 저층 아파트를 대상으로 임펄스 응답 측정을 수행하고 결과를 분석하였다.

This paper proposes a phase measurement algorithm which is based on the recursive implementation of sliding-DFT. The proposed algorithm is designed to have a robust behavior against the erroneous factors of frequency drift, additive noise, and twiddle factor approximation. Four channel power-line phase measurement system is also designed and implemented based on the time-multiplexed sharing architecture of the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm's features of phase measurement accuracy and its robustness against the finite wordlength effects can provide a significant impact especially for the ASIC or microprocessor based embedded system applications where the enhanced processing speed and implementation simplicity are crucial design considerations.

Broadband powerline communication (BPLC) uses distribution lines as a medium for achieving effective bidirectional data communication along with electric current flow. As the material characteristics of power lines are not good at the communication channel, the development of power line communication (PLC) systems for internet, voice, and data services requires measurement-based models of the transfer characteristics of the network suitable for performance analysis by simulation. In this paper, an analytic model describing a complex transfer function is presented to obtain the attenuation and path parameters for a multipath power line model. The calculated results demonstrated frequency-selective fading in multipath channels and signal attenuation with frequency, and were in good agreement with the experimental results. Inductive coupling units are used as couplers for coupling the signal to the power line to avoid physical connections to the distribution line. The inductance of the ferrite core, which depends on the frequency, determines the cut-off frequency of the inductive coupler. Coupling loss can be minimized by increasing the number of windings around the coupler. Coupling efficiency was improved by more than 6 dB with three windings compared to the results obtained with one winding.

In this paper, we propose a simple and relative electrode contact monitoring method. By exploiting the power line interference, which is regarded as one of the worst noise sources for bio-potential measurement, the relative difference in electrode impedance can be measured without a current or voltage source. Substantial benefits, including no extra circuit components, no degradation of the body potential driving circuit, and no electrical safety problem, can be achieved using this method. Furthermore, this method can be applied to multi-channel isolated bio-potential measurement systems and home health care devices under a steady measuring environment.

This paper presents a procedure for field measurements which provides a generalized Narrowband Power Line Communications (NB-PLC) channel model for low voltage (LV) access network in order to deploy advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) within Lahore, Pakistan. The measurements of allocated sites were performed in the residential (urban and rural), industrial and commercial electricity consumers for the NB-PLC channel modeling of overhead transmission lines (TLs). On the basis of extensive field measurement results, the average attenuation profile and transfer functions are presented. The results obtained from field measurements are validated by comparing them with a proposed Simulink model. A close agreement in the measured and simulated transfer function (TF) results is observed. The proposed Simulink model is an effort to model the NB-PLC channels in an effective way, especially in South Asian countries.

Tilting trains are currently in operation in 13 countries around the world. With the advances in tilting technology, verification of economic efficiency, and changes in economic situations, the introduction of tilting trains will rapidly spread across the globe. The measurement system is composed of the industrial computers installed in the console and the measurement racks mounted on each car. It is utilized to accumulate the data by the communication card and the optical cable. The optical cable and power cable are coupled at the connector located in joint of train to make easy to disconnect car each other. The signal conditioner is designed to choose and to extend the channel for each sensor readily. The sensor measurement rack has adopted as decentralization method. It is installed in each car to minimize the cable length. In also, it is manufactured based on 19"rack and covered to protect the cable.

The notch test result from 1 to 7 steps, DC link voltage is under standard value, and the output electric current of inverter is controlled normally. From the test results, we saw the performances of the traction systems are normal.

In this paper, we propose an inverted type asymmetric Doherty amplifier with optimized efficiency characteristic in wanted output power back-off (OPBO) range according to peak to average power ratio of input signal In order to obtain optimized efficiency of the asymmetric Doherty amplifier in wanted OPBO, peak power ratio between main amplifier and peaking amplifier was determined and then impedance of 90 degrees impedance transformer was obtained by peak power ratio. The offset line length and peak dividing ratio of the asymmetric Doherty amplifier were also calculated. From the measurement results, the proposed amplifier has achieved 40 % drain efficiency and -35 dBc adjacent channel leakage ratio at the average output power of 48.7 dBm for CDMA 2000 1x 3-FA test signal.

An OpenLDI receiver circuit for flat-panel display systems was designed and fabricated using $1.8-{\mu}m$ high-voltage CMOS technology. Designed circuit roughly consists of DLL circuit and parallelizers, which recovers clock and parallelize data bits, respectably. It has one clock input and four data inputs. Measurement results showed that it successfully recovers clock signal from input whose frequency is $10Mhz{\sim}65Mhz$, which corresponds data rate of $70Mbps{\sim}455Mbps$ per channel, or $280Mbps{\sim}1.82Gbps$ when all of the four data channels were utilized. A commercial LCD monitor was modified into a test-bench and used for video data transmission at clock frequency of 49Mhz. In the experiment, power consumption was 19mW for core block and 82.5mW for output buffer.

In this paper, we propose a DFD (Digital Frequency Discriminator) design that has better frequency discrimination and a smaller size. Electronic warfare equipment can analyze different types of radar signal such as those based on Frequency, Pulse Width, Time Of Arrival, Pulse Amplitude, Angle Of Arrival and Modulation On Pulse. In order for electronic warfare equipment to analyze radar signals with a narrow pulse width (less than 100ns), they need to have a special receiver structure called IFM (Instantaneous Frequency Measurement). The DFD (Digital Frequency Discriminator) is usually used for the IFM. Because the existing DFDs are composed of separate circuit devices, they are bulky, heavy, and expensive. To remedy these shortcomings, we use a three delay line ($1{\lambda}$, $4{\lambda}$, $16{\lambda}$) in the DFD, instead of the four delay line ($1{\lambda}$, $4{\lambda}$, $16{\lambda}$, $64{\lambda}$) generally used in the existing DFDs, and apply the microwave integrated circuit method. To enhance the frequency discrimination, we detect the pulse amplitude and perform temperature correction. The proposed DFD has a frequency discrimination error of less than 1.5MHz, affording it better performance than imported DFDs.
