We describe the pulse forming of pulsed $CO_2$laser using multi-pulse superposition technique. A various pulse length, high duty cycle pulse forming network(PFN) is constructed by time sequence. That is, this study shows a technology that makes it possible to make various pulse shapes by turning on SCRs of three PFN modules consecutively at a desirable delay time with the aid of PIC one-chip microprocessor. The power supply for this experiment consists of three PFN modules. Each PFN module uses a capacitor, a pulse forming inductor, a SCR, a High voltage pulse transformer, and a bridge rectifier on each transformer secondary. The PFN modules operate at low voltage and drive the primary of HV pulse transformer. The secondary of the transformer has a full-wave rectifier, which passes the pulse energy to the load in a continuous sequence. We investigated laser pulse shape and duration as various trigger time intervals of SCRs among three PFN modules. As a result, we can obtain laser beam with various pulse shapes and durations from about 250 $mutextrm{s}$ to 600 $mutextrm{s}$.

Some signals, such as in radar system, are transmitted as periodic pulse trains. If more than one pulse train are transmitted over the same communication channel, a problem is to separate them for source identification and extract each pulse train at the receiver. This is known as pulse train deinterleaving. In this paper, we present an approach for deinterleaving the pulse trains and extracting their periods combining the estimation of the frequency of each pulse train by DFT, CDIF/SDIF histogram and Sequence Search technique. Also, we present the result of deinterleaving pulse trains and extracting PRI in the complex environment which multiple signals are interleaved.

The dipolar effect of neighboring protons that are not directly bonded to the carbon of interest on coupled carbon-13 relaxation in a simple organic molecule has been studied by comparing the relaxation behaviors of labeled carbon-13 in $Br13CH_2COOH$ with those in $BrCH_213COOH.$ Various pulse sequences, such as coupled inversion recovery pulse sequence, J-negative and J-positive pulse sequence, and nonselective and selective proton ${\pi}pulse$ sequence, were employed to perform the required coupled spin relaxation experiments. To gain information on various spectral densities, including that of dipolar-CSA cross correlation, the experiments were performed on two different spectrometers, operating, respectively, at 50.31 and 125.51MHz for 13C. The magnitude of CH dipolar spectral densities for $BrCH_213COOH$ was found to be about 8% of those for $Br13CH_2COOH$, which means the effect due to the protons not directly bonded to the carbon of interest is small but not completely negligible.

This paper introduces M-PPAM(M-ary Pulse Position and Amplitude Modulation) architecture, combined PPM(Pulse Position Modulation) with PAM(Pulse Amplitude Modulation). Since M-PPAM can transmit several bits using one pulse, it is mon effective than PPM or PAM. Also, to obtain the same data transmission rate with PPM or PAM, M-PPAM can use a long pulse repetition period. This method will be able to use in the multi-path fading environment such as indoor condition. To accomodate multiple users, direct sequence technique is used. This paper has provided the modeling method of the M-PPAM DS-UWB receiver covering multi-user interference(MUI) with the Standard Gaussian Approximation under Gaussian channel. The performance of the receiver is simulated.

A novel method for extracting frequency slippage signal from radar full pulse sequence is presented. For the radar full pulse sequence received by radar interception receiver, radio frequency (RF) and time of arrival (TOA) of all pulses constitute a two-dimensional information sequence. In a complex and intensive electromagnetic environment, the TOA of pulses is distributed unevenly, randomly, and in a nonstationary manner, preventing existing methods from directly analyzing such time series and effectively extracting certain signal features. This work applies Gaussian noise insertion and structure function to the TOA-RF information sequence respectively such that the equalization of time intervals and correlation processing are accomplished. The components with different frequencies in structure function series are separated using empirical mode decomposition. Additionally, a chaos detection model based on the Duffing equation is introduced to determine the useful component and extract the changing features of RF. Experimental results indicate that the proposed methodology can successfully extract the slippage signal effectively in the case that multiple radar pulse sequences overlap.

MRI imaging provides many benefits such as noninvasive, 3-dimensional imaging capabilities. But it has relatively serious drawback that is the long data collection time, compared with other imaging modality. Many studies have been performed for fast MR imaging. But EPI and SEPI (4-6) are required to expensive hardware. In this paper, we introduce to Burst imaging technique. It can reduce imaging time by use of a mulitple RF excitation technique. Further it is easily implemented to the normal MRI system. But a pixel profile in the conventional burst sequence is so poor that excited area by burst sequence is a small portion of a pixel. This causes poor signal to noise ratio in burst image. therefore frequency sweeping of RF pulse for burst imaging sequence is proposed to improve pixel profile. A burst pulse train is shaped by liner or nonlinear frequency sweeping function so that all the spins within a pixel are excited, thereby improving the signal to noise ratio. It also shows that the pixel profiles are dependent on how frequency sweep is made. Computer simulations with Bloch equation and experimental results obtained using a 1.0 T NMR imaging system are presented.

Electrical discharges may occur in gas, liquid as well as solid insulating materials. This paper describes the investigation results on the discharges in air, silicone oil and low density polyethylene (LDPE) using needle plane electrode system under AC voltage of 50 Hz. The experimental results showed that for discharge in air (corona), discharge pulses were concentrated around the peak of applied voltage at negative half cycle. For silicone oil positive as well as negative discharges were observed which concentrated around the peak of applied voltage. The positive pulse number was smaller but the magnitude was higher than that of negative discharge. Discharges in void took place at wider range of phase of applied voltage. The unbalance in pulse number and magnitude similar to that of oil discharges were observed. For electrical treeing in LDPE, the discharges were spread before the zero cross of the applied voltage up to the peak at both positive and negative half cycles. The discharge pulse sequence analysis indicated that the PD occurrence in air, oil and void were strongly affected by the magnitude of applied voltage. However, for electrical treeing it was observed that the discharge occurrence was strongly affected by the time derivative of the applied voltage (dv/dt).

목적： 자기공명영상시스템의 스펙트로미터는 transmitter, receiver, gradient 등의 파형과 동작시간을 제어함으로써 원하는 pulse sequence를 구현한다. 이를 위하여 보통 여러개의 독립적인 DSP 보드를 사용하는 경우가 많은데, 이 경우 하나의 pulse sequence에 대하여 transmitter, receiver, gradient 에 대한 프로그램을 따로 작성해야 하므로 프로그램을 개발하는데 시간과 노력이 많이 소요되고, 프로그램의 변경이나 유지, 보수에 어려움이 많았다. 또한 프로그램간에 version이 다르거나, 또는 부분적으로 프로그램이 바뀌었을 경우 종종 error의 원인이 되기도 하였다. 본 연구에서는 개발하고자하는 pulse sequence에 대하여 하나의 프로그램으로 각 DSP 보드에 필요한 프로그램을 만들어주는 pre-compiler를 개발하였다. 개발된 pre-compiler는 통합된 개발 환경에 integration 되어, compile 과 downloading, debugging 등의 기능을 포함하고 있다.

With the development of multilevel converters, cascaded single-phase H-bridge rectifiers (CHBRs) has become widely adopted in high-voltage high-power applications. In this study, sequence pulse modulation (SPM) is proposed for CHBRs. SPM is designed to balance the dc-link voltage and maintain the smooth changes of switch states. In contrast to phase disposition modulation, SPM balances the dc-link voltage even after removing the load of one submodule. The operation principle of SPM is deduced, and the unbalance degree of SPM is analyzed. All the proposed approaches are experimentally verified through a prototype of a four-module (nine-level) CHBR. Conclusions are drawn in accordance with the results of SPM and its imbalance degree analysis.

In this paper, a novel pulse repetition interval (PRI) jittering coder based on quasi-random M-sequence codes is proposed for improvement of counter-countermeasure capability in a radar. Each of the proposed jittered 256 PRI codes has a unique code chip combination with 256 code chips, such that any set of three consequent code chips (4 pulses) from any code appears only once among the entire code chip sequences of the codes. This indicates that only 4 of received pulses are enough to determine uniquely the exact timing position of the incoming pulse train (or code chip sequence) required for counter-countermeasure, as well as the identity of the transmitted code. To prove the proposed idea experimentally, the jittered PRI coder is implemented and demonstrated.
