This paper analyzes an LCL-type isolated dc-dc converter operating for constant output voltage in the continuous conduction mode(CCM) with resistances of parasitic losses-static drain-source on resistance of power switch, ESR of resonant network(L-C-L)-using a high loaded quality factor Q assumptions and fourier series techniques. Simple analytical expressions for performance characteristics are derived under steady-state conditions for designing and understanding the behavior of the proposed converter. The voltage-driven rectifier is analyzed, taking into account the diode threshold voltage and the diode forward resistance. Experimental results measured for a proposed converter at low input voltage and various load resistances show agreement to the theoretical performance predicted by the analysis within maximum 4% error. Especially in the case of low output voltages and large loads, It is been observed that introduction of both rectifier and the parasitic components of converter had considerable effect on the performance.

In this paper, an asymmetric compact multiband slot antenna is proposed for global positioning system (GPS), worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), and wireless area network (WLAN) applications. The top plane, a ground is composed of a rectangular slot with a trapezoidal-like stub, an inverted U-shaped slot at the right side of the rectangular slot, an inverted L-shaped slot at the left side of the rectangular slot, and three stubs. The proposed antenna is fed by an asymmetric cross-parasitic strip on the bottom plane. By properly designing the slots and stubs, four resonant frequency bands are achieved with -10 dB reflection coefficient bandwidths of 50 MHz, 400 MHz, 390 MHz, and 830 MHz in the 1.57 GHz GPS band, 2.4 GHz WLAN band, 3.5 GHz WiMAX band, and 5.5 GHz WLAN bands, respectively. The antenna has a total compact size of $13mm{\times}32mm{\times}0.8mm$. Simulated and measured results indicate that the proposed antenna has sufficient bandwidth and good radiation performance in each band.

We report the performance of a four-element, 11.67 GHz, $high-{T}_c$ superconducting (HTS) microstrip antenna array with corporate feed network. The HTS antenna array used in this work had a circular polarization for direct broadcasting satellite (DBS) system. Our array antennas were designed and built on a 0.5 mm thick MgO substrate. To compare the superconducting antennas with normal conducting counterpart, One antenna pattern was fabricated from gold thin film, and a second pattern was fabricated from ${YBa}_2{Cu}_3{O}_7-x(YBCO)$ superconducting thin film. To improve the axial ratio of circularly polarized arrays, sequential rotation technique were used. Efficiency, radiation pattern, return loss and bandwidth were measured for both antennas at cryogenic temperature and room temperature. The array produced good circular polarization, and the gain of the array at 77 K, relative to a copper array at room temperature was approximately 1.54 dB. The measured return loss of our HTS antenna array was 35.79 dB at the resonant frequency of 11.67 GHz and The total effective bandwidth was about 3.4 %. The results showed that high-temperature superconductors, when used in microstrip arrays, improved the efficiency of the HTS antenna array for circularly polarization.

Interaction among multiple grid-connected inverters has a negative impact on the stable operations and power quality of a power grid. The interrelated influences of inverter inductor-capacitor-inductor filters constitute a high-order power network, and consequently, excite complex resonances at various frequencies. This study first establishes a micro-grid admittance matrix, in which inverters use deadbeat control. Multiple resonances can then be evaluated via modal analysis. For the active damping method applied to deadbeat control, the sampling frequency and the stable domain of the virtual damping ratio are also presented by analyzing system stability in the discrete domain. Simulation and experimental results confirm the efficiency of modal analysis and stable domain calculation in multi-inverter grid-connected systems.

In this study, $SiO_2$ thin film was deposited on variable conditions of the RF power and working pressure by RF magnetron sputtering to apply to the Bragg reflector of the SMR type FBAR device. A crystal orientation and microstructure of $SiO_2$ thin film was studied by using the XRD, AFM and SEM. The best condition was obtained through analyzing the structural characteristics of thin film. Finally, FBAR device was fabricated with applying the best condition of $SiO_2$ thin film and the resonant characteristics was investigated by network analyzer to verify application possibility as a efficient device.

In this paper, it is reported that film-bulk-acoustic resonator with high c-axis oriented AIN film on $Mo/SiO_2/Si(100)$ using metal-organic-chemical-vapor deposition was fabricated. The resonant frequency and anti-resonant frequency of the fabricated resonator were observed with 3.189[GHz] and 3.224[GHz], respectively. The quality factor and the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient(${k_{eff}}^2$) were measured with 24.7 and 2.65[%], respectively. The conditions of AIN deposition were substrate temperature of $950[^{\circ}C]$, pressure of 20Torr, and V-III ratio of 25000. A high c-axis oriented AIN film with $4{\times}10^{-5}[\Omega{cm}]$ resistivity of Mo bottom electrode and $4[^{\circ}]$ of AIN(0002) full-width at half-maximum(FWHM) on $Mo/SiO_2/Si(100)$ was grown successfully. The FWHM value of deposited AIN film is useful for the RF band pass filter specification for GHz-band wireless local area network.

Heretofore, it was enough that most of optical transceiver modules for automotive networks have the performance of data rate from 10 Mbps to 150 Mbps. As the required data rate in automotive infotainment systems has recently been increasing, the development of a new optical transceiver having high speed data rate over 1Gbps is now required. Therefore, we suggested a next-generation bi-directional optical transceiver module using vertical cavity surface emitting laser technology and plastic clad fiber technology, for the next-generation automotive optical network, MOST1000. We fabricated the high-speed and compact optical transceiver having 1 Gbps data rate and -22 dBm sensitivity satisfying bit error rate $10^{-12}$.

A low-noise amplifier(LNA) using series RLC matching network and resistive feedback at 8 GHz is presented. Inductive degeneration is used for the input matching with which the proposed LNA shows quite a wide bandwidth in terms of $S_{21}$. An equivalent circuit model is deduced for input matching by conversion from parallel circuit to series resonant circuit. By exploiting the resistive feedback and series RLC input matching, fully integrated LNA achieves maximum $S_{21}$ of 8.5 dB(peak to -3 dB bandwidth is about 3.5 GHz) noise figure of 5.9 dB, and IIP3 of 1.6 dBm while consuming 7 mA from 1.2 V supply.

In this paper, a design method for a compact dual-band slot antenna with bent slot is studied. Bent slots are added on the rectangular slot of the proposed antenna for dual-band operation. The rectangular slot is fed by a coaxial cable by placing a rectangular feeding patch inside the slot. When the bent slots are added onto the both corner of the upper side of the rectangular slot symmetrically, a new resonant frequency is created in low frequency because of the increasement of the slot length. A prototype of the proposed dual-band slot antenna operating at 2.45 GHz WLAN band and 4.50-8.30 GHz band including 5GHz WLAN band is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a dimension of 30 mm by 30 mm. Experiment results show that the antenna has a desired impedance characteristic with a frequency band of 2.40-2.49 GHz and 4.33-9.85 GHz for an input reflection coefficient < -10 dB.

Co-based amorphous magnetic wire with a diameter of $125{\mu}m$ and a length of 40 mm was used as an inner conductor of a coaxial cable to construct a magnetic sensor. Sensor characteristics was measured up to 3 GHz with applied up to 60 Oe by using network analyzer. Frequency dependence of impedance for this sensor was very close to the impedance resonant pattern of transmission line and 250 MHz was obtained as a 1/4 wavelength without external magnetic field. Large impedance change was measured in the magnetic field range between 0 Oe and 1 Oe, which was influenced by permeability change of magnetic amorphous wire. Because ${\Delta}Z/{\Delta}H$ value of $300{\Omega}/Oe$ was obtained at 0.1 Oe, this coaxial cable with amorphous wire can be useful as a magnetic sensor.
