This paper presents the results of the ocean surface current velocity estimation using 6 Radarsat-1 SAR images acquired in west coastal area near Incheon. We extracted the surface velocity from SAR images based on the Doppler shift approach in which the azimuth frequency shift is related to the motion of surface target in the radar direction. The Doppler shift was measured by the difference between the Doppler centroid estimated in the range-compressed, azimuth-frequency domain and the nominal Doppler centroid used during the SAR focusing process. The extracted SAR current velocities were statistically compared with the current velocities from the high frequency(HF) radar in terms of averages, standard deviations, and root mean square errors. The problem of the unreliable nominal Doppler centroid for the estimation of the SAR current velocity was corrected by subtracting the difference of averages between SAR and HF-radar current velocities from the SAR current velocity. The corrected SAR current velocity inherits the average of HF-radar data while maintaining high-resolution nature of the original SAR data.

Since PV PCS uses output current sensor for ac output current control, the sensor's sensing value includes unnecessary offset inevitably. If PV inverter is controlled by the included offset value, it's output current will generate DC offset. The DC offset of output current for trans-less PV inverter is fatal to grid, which results in saturating grid side transformer. Usually DSP controller of PV inverter reads several times sensing value during initial operation and, finally, it's average value is used for offset calibration. However, if temperature changes, the offset changes, too. Therefore, output current sensor measures sensing value that includes offset again. In this paper we propose new algorithm where two identical forward and reverse sensors are used to calculate the offset in real time. As a result the offset is not correlated with temperature change. The proposed algorithm is verified through PSIM simulation for validity.

This paper presents a design of a high-efficiency CMOS DC-DC boost converter using a current-sensing feedback method. High-precision current-sensing circuity is incorporated in order to sense the current flowing in the inductor, which determines the switching scheme of the pulse-width modulation. The external components or large chip area for the frequency compensation can be avoided while maintaining the stable operations of the converter. Various input/output voltage levels can be available through the external resistor strings. The designed DC-DC converter is fabricated in a 0.18-um CMOS technology with a thick-gate oxide option. The converter shows the maximum efficiency over 90% for the output voltage of 3.3V and load current larger than 200mA. The load regulation is 1.15% for the load current change of 100mA.

New sensing and writing schemes for a magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM) with a twin cell structure are proposed. In order to enhance the cell reliability, a scheme of the low voltage precharge is employed to keep the magneto resistance (MR) ratio constant. Moreover, a common gate amplifier is utilized to provide sufficient voltage signal to the bit line sense amplifiers under the small MR ratio structures. To enhance the writing reliability, a current mode technique with tri-state current drivers is adopted. During write operations, the bit and /bit lines are connected. And 'HIGH' or 'LOW' data is determined in terms of the current direction flowing through the MTJ cell. With the viewpoint of the improved reliability of the cell behavior and sensing margin, HSPICE simulations proved the validity of the proposed schemes.

This paper considers a carrier based signal injection method for use in the three shunt sensing inverter (TSSI) for sensorless motor control. It also analyzes the loss according to the injection axis of the voltage signal. To remove both the phase current and rotor position sensors, a sensorless method and a phase current reconstruction method can be simultaneously considered. However, an interaction between the two methods can be incurred when both methods inject voltage signals simultaneously. In this paper, a signal injection based sensorless method with the 120° OFF Discontinuous PWM (DPWM) is implemented in a TSSI to avoid this interaction problem. Since one leg does not have a switching event for one sampling period in the 120° OFF DPWM, the switching loss is altered according to the injection axis. The switching loss in the d-axis injection case can be up to 32% larger than that in the q-axis injection case. Other losses according to the injection axis are also analyzed.

An efficient sensing scheme applicable to DC-DC converters is proposed. The output voltage of the DC-DC converter is fed back and converted to a current signal at the input terminal of the sensor to decide if it is in the tolerable range. The comparison is accomplished by a current push-pull action. With the embedded reference current in the sensor realized from the reference voltage. The advantages of the scheme lie in the fairly accurate and efficient implementation in terms of power consumption and chip size overhead compared with conventional voltage-mode schemes as the major parameter in converting voltage to current is determined by (W/L) aspect ratio of the core transistors. In this paper, a DC-DC converter of 5V output from battery range of 2.2V${\sim}$3.6V adopting the proposed sensing scheme is implemented in a 0.35um CMOS process to prove the validity of the scheme.
