본 논문에서는 압저항형 압력센서를 위한 신호처리회로를 설계하였다. 신호처리회로는 압저항형 압력센서를 구동하기 위한 기준전압 회로와 미소한 센서 신호의 증폭을 위한 인스트루먼트 증폭기로 구성이 되어있다. 신호처리회로는 단일 폴리 이중 메탈(single poly double metal) $1.5\;{\mu}m$ BiCMOS 공정 파라미터를 이용하여 HSPICE로 시뮬레이션 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 밴드갭 기준전압회로의 온도 계수는 $0\;{\sim}\;70^{\circ}C$의 범위에서 $21\;ppm/^{\circ}C$였고 PSRR은 80 dB였다. BiCMOS 증폭기의 이득, 옵셋, CMRR, CMR, PSRR, 특성은 CMOS나 바이폴라보다 우수하였고 전력소비 및 잡음전압 특성은 CMOS가 우수하였다. 설계한 신호처리 회로는 옵셋이 적고 입력 임피던스가 높으며 CMRR 특성이 우수하기 때문에 센서 및 계측용 신호처리회로로서 사용하기에 적합하다.

In this paper, we propose two schemes to reduce the complexity of fixed-complexity sphere decoder (FSD) algorithm in the ordering and tree-search stages, respectively, while achieving quasi-ML performance. In the ordering stage, we propose a QR-decomposition-based FSD signal ordering based on the zero-forcing criterion (FSD-ZF-SQRD) that requires only a few number of additional complex flops compared to the unsorted QRD. Also, the proposed ordering algorithm is extended using the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion to achieve better performance. In the tree-search stage, we introduce a threshold-based complexity reduction approach for the FSD depending on the reliability of the signal with the largest noise amplification. Numerical results show that in 8 ${\times}$ 8 MIMO system, the proposed FSD-ZF-SQRD and FSD-MMSE-SQRD only require 19.5% and 26.3% of the computational efforts required by Hassibi's scheme, respectively. Moreover, a third threshold vector is outlined which can be used for high order modulation schemes. In 4 ${\times}$ 4 MIMO system using 16-QAM and 64-QAM, simulation results show that when the proposed threshold-based approach is employed, FSD requires only 62.86% and 53.67% of its full complexity, respectively.

Dual electromagnetic sensor is used for sensing the weld line. The sensor consists of excitation and two sensing coil wound over the ferro-magnetic core. By using the dual sensor, the effect of noise is minimized. It is based on the generation of eddy currents in the welding plate by passing current through the excitation coil. The sensor can be used to track the butt joints having no gap between them, where a vision based sensor fails to track. Sensor sensitivity depends on the number of coil turns, frequency of excitation, distance of a sensor from the work piece, diameter of core, etc. The whole system consists of a sensor, a signal processing board, a motion controller and a personnel computer (PC). The raw sensor signal is processed using the signal processing board. It consists of amplification, rectification, filtering, averaging, offset adjustment, etc. Based on sensor data, the motion controller adjusts the position of a welding torch.

본 논문에서는 TETRA 단말기용 800 MHz 대역 1 W급 cartesian feedback 선형전력증폭기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 200 kHz 협대역을 갖는 TETRA 신호를 증폭 시, cartesian feedback 선형화기를 통해서 ${\pm}25$ kHz 오프셋 주파수에서 30 dBc 이상의 전력증폭기 선형성을 개선하였다. 선형화의 성능은 I/Q 신호간의 이득과 위상의 불일치 및 DC offset 성분에 의해서 영향을 받음을 알 수 있으며 이러한 문제를 보상 시 선형화를 극대화 할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. Cartesian feedback 선형화기는 협대역 QAM 신호의 선형화 기술로 적합함을 확인하였으며 이를 이용하여 다른 변조방식을 갖는 신호들의 선형화방법으로도 적용 가능하다.

In mobile communication, the most exploratory technology of fifth generation is massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO). The minimum mean square error and zero forcing based linear detectors are used in multiuser detection for MIMO single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SCFDMA). When the received signal is detected and regularization sequence is joined in the equalization of spectral null amplification, these schemes experience an error performance and the signal detection assesses an inversion of a matrix computation that grows into complexity. Ordered successive interference cancelation (OSIC) detection is considered for MIMO SC-FDMA, which uses a posteriori information to eradicate these problems in a realistic environment. To cancel the interference, sorting is preferred based on signal-to-noise ratio and log-likelihood ratio. The distinctiveness of the methodology is to predict the symbol with the lowest error probability. The proposed work is compared with the existing methods, and simulation results prove that the defined algorithm outperforms conventional detection methods and accomplishes better performance with lower complication.

Staphylococcus aureus integrated with mecA gene, which codes for penicillin-binding protein 2a, is resistant to all penicillins and other beta-lactam antibiotics, resulting in poor treatment expectations in skin and soft tissue infections. The development of a simple, sensitive and portable biosensor for mecA gene analysis in S. aureus is urgently needed. Herein, we propose a dual-toehold-probe (sensing probe)-mediated exonuclease-III (Exo-III)-assisted signal recycling for portable detection of the mecA gene in S. aureus. When the target mecA gene is present, it hybridizes with the sensing probe, initiating Exo III-assisted dual signal recycles, which in turn release numerous "3" sequences. The released "3" sequences initiate catalytic hairpin amplification, resulting in the fixation of a sucrase-labeled H2 probe on the surface of magnetic beads (MBs). After magnet-based enrichment of an MB-H1-H2-sucrase complex and removal of a liquid supernatant containing free sucrase, the complex is then used to catalyze sucrose to glucose, which can be quantitatively detected by a personal glucose meter. With a limit of detection of 4.36 fM for mecA gene, the developed strategy exhibits high sensitivity. In addition, good selectivity and anti-interference capability were also attained with this method, making it promising for antibiotic tolerance analysis at the point-of-care.

본 논문에서는 linear amplification with nonlinear components(LINC) 시스템의 두 신호 경로에 발생하는 크기와 위상 오차를 자동으로 검출하여 보상하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. LINC 시스템은 첨두 대 평균 전력비가 큰 non-constant envelop 신호를 constant envelop 신호로 바꿔주어 고효율 전력 증폭기를 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그러나 LINC 시스템은 두 전력 증폭기의 경호에서 발생하는 매우 작은 경로 오차에 민감하게 성능이 열화된다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 4개의 테스트 신호를 이용하여 두 경로의 크기와 위상 오차를 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 오차 검출 기법은 닫힌 해(closed form solution)를 가지며, 반복 계산이 필요하지 않아, 빠르고 효율적으로 오차를 검출할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 기법을 적용하여 오차 검출과 검출된 결과를 반영하여 신호의 왜곡을 보상하는 digital-IF 형태를 갖는 LINC 시스템을 구현하였다. 구현된 LINC 시스템은 7 MHz 채널 대역을 갖고 16-QAM으로 변조된 IEEE 802.16 WiMAx 기저 대역 신호를 이용하여 성능을 분석하였으며, 제안된 기법을 이용하여 EVM이 -37.37 dB까지 개선되었으며, 이로서 LINC 시스템 구현시 제안된 오차 검출 및 보상 기법의 적용 타당성을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 센서 표면에 고정된 티오에스터 분자와 금 나노입자를 이용하여 수용액 중의 시안화이온(cyanide)을 선택적이고, 고민감도로 검출할 수 있는 200 MHz 표면음향파(Surface Acoustic Wave, SAW) 센서의 개발에 관한 것이다. SAW 센서표면에 형성된 티오에스터 단분자막은 시안화이온의 친핵성 첨가반응에 의해 가수분해되어 티올(thiol)이 만들어지고, 티올 분자는 다시 금 나노입자와 반응에 의해 티올-금 나노입자 복합체를 형성한다. 이후 신호증폭을 위해, gold(III) chloride trihydrate와 hydroxylamine hydrochloride 조합에 의한 금 나노입자의 사이즈 확대반응을 수행하였다. SAW 센서는 수용액 중에서 시안화이온에 대한 검출 능력이 17.7 uM이었으며, 공진주파수 변화량은 시안화이온의 농도가 커지면서 포화되는 현상을 보여주었다. 한편, 제작된 SAW 센서는 시안화이온 이외의 플루오라이드(fluoride), 아세테이트(acetate), 그리고 설페이트(sulfate) 이온 등의 다른 음이온에는 전혀 반응성이 없었으며, 다른 음이온에 의한 간섭현상도 나타나지 않았다. 끝으로 모든 실험은 재현성 있는 실험 결과를 얻기 위해서 자체 제작한 유체제어 모듈과 센서를 이용하여 진행하였다.

Rapid and accurate phase synchronization is critical for the reliable control of grid-tied inverters. However, the commonly used software phase-locked loop methods do not always satisfy the need for high-speed and accurate phase synchronization under severe grid imbalance conditions. To address this problem, this study develops a novel open-loop phase locking scheme based on a synchronous reference frame. The proposed scheme is characterized by remarkable response speed, high accuracy, and easy implementation. It comprises three functional cascaded blocks: fast orthogonal signal generation block, fast fundamental-frequency positive sequence component construction block, and fast phase calculation block. The developed virtual orthogonal signal generation method in the first block, which is characterized by noise immunity and high accuracy, can effectively avoid approximation errors and noise amplification in a wide range of sampling frequencies. In the second block, which is the foundation for achieving fast phase synchronization within 3 ms, the fundamental-frequency positive sequence components of unsymmetrical grid voltages can be achieved with the developed orthogonal signal construction strategy and the symmetrical component method. The real-time grid phase can be consequently obtained in the third block, which is free from self-tuning closed-loop control and thus improves the dynamic performance of the proposed scheme. The proposed scheme is adaptive to severe unsymmetrical grid voltages with sudden changes in magnitude, phase, and/or frequency. Moreover, this scheme is able to eliminate phase errors induced by harmonics and random noise. The validity and utility of the proposed scheme are verified by the experimental results.
