A new discrete-amplitude pulse width modulation (DAPWM) scheme for a high-efficiency linear power amplifier is proposed. A radio frequency (RF) input signal is divided into an envelope and a phase modulated carrier. The low-frequency envelope is modulated so that it can be represented by a pulse whose area is proportional to its amplitude. The modulated pulse has at least two different pulse amplitude levels in order that the duty ratios of the pulse are kept large for small input. Then, an RF pulse train is generated by mixing the modulated envelope with the phase modulated carrier. The RF pulse train is amplified by a switching-mode power amplifier, and the original RF input signal is restored by a band pass filter. Because duty ratios of the RF pulse train are kept large in spite of a small input envelope, the DAPWM technique can reduce loss from harmonic components. Furthermore, it reduces filtering efforts required to suppress harmonic components. Simulations show that the overall efficiency of the pulsed power amplifier with DAPWM is about 60.3% for a mobile WiMax signal. This is approximately a 73% increase compared to a pulsed power amplifier with PWM.

본 연구에서는 저주파영역의 가진분무에 대하여 추가적인 내부가진을 수행함으로써 변조분사되는 분무특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 회전식 가진장치를 사용하여 1차 가진을 생성한 후 2차 가진원인 마그네틱 밸브를 사용하여 변조하였다. 변조분무의 FFT결과와 분무패턴의 가시화를 통하여 관찰한 결과, 2차 가진 제어가 있는 변조분사의 경우 1차 가진만 있는 분사보다 분무의 상하 운동 진폭이 작으며 분무 하단류의 침투깊이가 증가하는 경향성이 발견되었다.

Fast neutrons with a broad energy spectrum, with which it is possible to evaluate nuclear data for various research fields such as medical applications and the development of fusion reactors, can be generated by irradiating proton beams on target materials such as beryllium. To generate short-pulse proton beam, we adopted a deflector and slit system. In a simple deflector with slit system, most of the proton beam is blocked by the slit, especially when the beam pulse width is short. Therefore, the available beam current is very low, which results in low neutron flux. In this study, we proposed beam modulation using a buncher cavity to increase the available beam current. The ideal field pattern for the buncher cavity is sawtooth. To make the field pattern similar to a sawtooth waveform, a multiharmonic buncher was adopted. The design process for the multiharmonic buncher includes a beam dynamics calculation and three-dimensional electromagnetic simulation. In addition to the system design for pulsed proton generation, a test bench with a microwave ion source is under preparation to test the performance of the system. The design study results concerning the pulsed proton beam generation and the test bench preparation with some preliminary test results are presented in this paper.

We developed the equipment palpating cell proliferation using a high brightness LED. This equipment was fabricated using a micro-controller and a high brightness LED, and designed to enable us to control light irradiation time, intensity, frequency and so on. Especially, to control the light irradiation frequency, FPGA was used, and to control the change of output value, TLC5941 was used. Control stage is divided into 30 levels by program. Consequently, the current value could be controlled by the change of level in Continue Wave(CW) and Pulse Width Modulation(PWM), and the output of a high brightness LED could be controlled stage by stage. And then, each experiment was performed to irradiation group and non-irradiation group for bone marrow cells. MIT assay method was chosen to verify the cell increase of two groups and the effect of irradiation on cell proliferation was examined by measuring 590nm transmittance of ELISA reader. As a result, the cell increase of bone marrow cells was verified in irradiation group as compared to non-irradiation group.

An increase of pulsed power demand and load variation produce bad effect to power system. This causes power factor decrease. This paper proposes the excitation of the secondary side of wound rotor induction machine as one of harmonic compensation systems. In this paper, a harmonic compensation scheme based on stator flux-oriented vector control is proposed. By using the flux-oriented vector control, a voltage source PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) control scheme can be applied with fast dynamic response time. The designed control scheme is verified through simulation.

Dead-time element must be set into space vector pulsed width modulation signals to avoid short circuits of the inverter. However, the dead-time element distorts the output voltage vector, which deteriorates the performance of electrical machine drive system. In this paper, dead-time effect and its compensation control strategy are analyzed. Based on the analysis, the voltage distortion caused by dead-time is regarded as two disturbances imposed on dq axes in the rotor reference frame, which degenerates the current tracking performance. To inhibit the adverse effect caused by the dead-time, a control scheme using two linear extended state observers is proposed. This method provides a strong ability to suppress dead-time effects. Simulations and experiments are conducted on a permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

부성특성회로로서 쌍트랜지스터 회가의 양에미터단자사이에 용량 C와 저항 R의 병렬회로를 삽입하고, 표준화주파수의 단형파전류원를 에미터·바이어스전류원으로 하여 쌍회로를 구동하면, RC병렬회로는 정부변조회로의 적분회로로서 동작시킬 수 있다. 이 적분회로와 직렬로 신호파전압원을 접속시키면 쌍회로가 구동전원의 표준화펄스에 의하여 구동될 때 마다, RC 적분회로의 적분전압과 신호파전압이 서로 비교되기 때문에 그들의 차전압에 의하여 쌍회로의 트랜지스터들 중의 어느 한 쪽이 ON되기 때문에 그 베이스결합저항단자에는 one bit의 펄스가 송출된다. 본실험에서는 극히 간소한 회로구성을 갖는 쌍트랜지스터회로에 의한 정착변조회로를 제시하고 그들의 특성을 부기하였다. 정착변조파의 품질 혹은 S/N비의 향상을 위하여 고려하여야 할 문제로서, 적분회로의 회로정수 및 양자화전압의 구동펄스의 파고와 파폭의 관계를 검토한다.
