This paper presents the experimental results on the 3-electrode DC-PDP which has a common electrode to improve the PDP life cycle. The measured DC characteristic proves the effectiveness of common electrode absorbing about half of discharge currents. The waveforms for pulse memory operation of3-electrode PDP without crosstalk could also be determined from the I-V characteristics. The pulse memory drives of 8*8 cell array show the frequency response fo memory margin and the luminance efficiency of 3-electrode PDP are quite different from genrally known characteristics of 2-electrode DC-PDP.

This paper describes the load parallel type full-bridge high frequency resonant inverter can be used as power source. Output control method of proposed circuit is compared with pulse frequency modulation(PFM), pulse width modulation(PWM) and pulse phase variation(Phase-Shift). The analysis of the proposed circuit is generally described by using the normalized parameters. The principle of basic operating and the its characteristics are estimated according to the parameters such as switching frequency(${\mu}$), pulse width($\theta$d) the variation of phase angle($\phi$) by three driving signal patterns. Experimental results are presented to verify the theoretical analysis result. In future, Characteristics by three driving signal control method is provided as useful data in case of output control of a power supply in various fields as induction heating application, DC-DC converter etc.

In this paper, a system has been proposed for the measurement of the spectral characteristic of semiconductor light sources driven by very short pulse currents. This system has been constituted a monochrometer of 600 groovedmm grating and of 275 mm focal length, X-Y recorder, scanning motor which enables the system to get the analog data, and amplifier coupled with peak detector. Especially, peak detector was used to convert the short pulse signal to continuous one. In order to verify the resolution with slit width, several slits were made by the hands. By using this system, the spectra of commercial LEDs, AlGaAdGaAs LD, and InGaAsPIInP BH-LD which were driven with pulse current (duty cy$e = 0.01) were measured. From these measurements, it has been shown that the proposed system has about 1 A1$\AA$ resolution and 10$\mu$W sensitivity.

This paper proposed a PFM(pulse-frequency modulator) boost converter which has dual pulse-width. The PFM boost converter is composed of BGR(band gap voltage reference generating circuit), voltage reference generating circuit, soft-start circuit, error amplifier, high-speed comparator, inductor current sensing circuit and pulse-width generator. Converter has different inductor peak current so it has wider load current range and smaller output voltage ripple. Proposed PFM boost converter generates 18V output voltage with input voltage of 3.7V and it has load current range of 0.1~300mA. Simulation results show 0.43% output voltage ripple at ligh load mode and 0.79% output voltage ripple at heavy load mode. Converter has efficiency 85% at light lode mode and it has maximum 86.4% at 20mA load current.

Reaction wheel is one of the actuators for spacecraft attitude control, which generates torque by changing an inertial rotor speed inside of the wheel. In order to generate required torque accurately and estimate an accurate angular momentum, wheel speed should be measured as close to the actual speed as possible. In this study, two conventional speed detection methods for high speed motor with digital tacho pulse (Elapsed-time method and Pulse-count method) and their resolutions are analyzed. For satellite attitude maneuvering and control, reaction wheel shall be operated in bi directional and low speed operation is sometimes needed for emergency case. Thus the bias error at low speed with constant acceleration (or deceleration) is also analysed. As a result, the speed detection error of elapsed-time method is largely influenced upon the high-speed clock frequency at high speed and largely effected on the number of tacho pulses used in elapsed time calculation at low speed, respectively.

In this study, the relay driver circuit which controls the spacecraft configuration change are implemented and validated. First of all, the specification of the relay driver circuit is defined, and then its circuit meeting the specification defined is designed. In order to verify the design of the relay driver circuit, its circuit was simulated, and then it's confirmed that the relay pulse current and voltage level defined in the specification are obtained, and the results obtained through the functional test of the relay driver circuit are compared and well matched with the simulation results. Also the worst case analysis for confirming the stable operation of the relay driver circuit under the tolerance of each component is performed.

The Korean Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) tokamak device is being constructed to perform long-pulse, high-beta, advanced tokamak fusion physics experiments. The long-pulse operation requires the non-inductive current drive system such as the Lower-Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) system. The LHCD system drives the non-inductive plasma current by means of C-band RF with 2-MW CW power and 5-GHz frequency. For the LHCD test experiments, an RF test system is developed. It is composed of a 5-GHz, 1.5-MW pulsed magnetron and a compact pulse modulator with $4\;{\mu}s$ of pulse width. The pulse modulator provides the maximum output voltage of 45 kV and the maximum current of 90 A. It is composed of 7 stages of Pulse Forming Network (PFN), a thyratron tube (E2V, CX1191D), and a pulse transformer with 1:4 step-up ratio. In this paper, the detailed design and the performance test of the pulse modulator are presented.

단일 구동회로를 사용하여 패널전체를 동시에 방전시킬 수 있는 새로운 priming 방전기술을 고안하였다. 그리고 이 기술을 사용하여 1080개의 수평주사선수를 가지는 full-HDTV PDP를 고휘도로 구동할 수 있는 새로운 고속 구동방식을 제안하였다. 이 priming 방전기술을 사용하면 구동방식에 상관없이 priming 기간을 sustain 기간에 중첩시키고 ramp 파형을 가지는 priming pulse를 인가하는 것이 가능하다. 실험결과로부터 sustain 방전이 없는 경우에만 priming 방전이 일어났다. 그리고 sustain 방전은 priming 펄스의 영향을 거의 받지 않는다는 것이 확인되었다. 새로운 PDP 구동기술로 $0.7{\mu}s$의 address 펄스폭을 가지는 고속 address를 실현하였다. 그리고 40V의 넓은 address 동작마진을 얻었다. 이 기술들은 상용의 driver IC를 사용할 수 있도록 설계되어있으므로 상용화 가능성도 높다.
