최근 모바일 환경에서 고화질 멀티미디어 서비스 수요가 늘어감에 따라, 다중안테나(MIMO, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) 시스템에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 최신 무선 통신 시스템에 적용되고 있다. 이와 함께, 휴대폰, 테블릿 등 모바일 디바이스용 MIMO 시스템은 물리적 크기의 한계로 인하여 최대 2개의 송수신 안테나($2{\times}2$)를 고려하고 있으며, 따라서 본 논문에서도 $2{\times}2$ MIMO 시스템을 고려하여 모바일 디바이스용 다중안테나 시스템을 위한 저복잡도 특성을 갖는 심볼 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 심볼 검출 기법은 비록 Modified-SQRD 알고리즘을 통해 검출된 1차원 상의 신호를 제안된 심볼 확장 기법을 통해 2차원 신호로 확장한 다음 연판정을 위한 LLR 연산이 가능하도록 제안하였다.

This paper proposes the interleaved buck converter using a soft switching auxiliary circuit. In this scheme, an auxiliary circuit is added to the conventional interleaved buck converter and used to achieve soft-switching conditions for both the main switch and freewheeling diode. In addition, the switch in the auxiliary circuit operates under soft-switching conditions. Also, according to the input to output conditions, the main switch achieved zero-current-transition(ZCT) or zero-current & zero-voltage-transition(ZCZVT) at turn on. Thus, the proposed interleaved buck converter provides a higher efficiency. The basic operations, in this paper, are discussed and design guidelines are presented. The usefulness of the proposed converter is verified on a 200kHz, 180W prototype converter.

In this paper, a soft-switching scheme for the PWM interleaved buck converter(IBC) is newly proposed to obtain the advantages of both the conventional PWM interleaved buck and resonant converters such as ease of control, reduced switching losses and stresses, and low EMI. To obtain the soft-switching action, the proposed scheme employs an auxiliary circuit, which is added to the conventional interleaved buck converter and used to achieve soft-switching for both the main switches and the output diodes while not incurring any additional losses due to the auxiliary circuit itself. In this paper, the basic operations are discussed and design guidelines are presented. And through the experimental results, the usefulness of the proposed converter is verified.

This paper proposes a new soft switching dual input converter for renewable energy systems. Multi-input converters are produced by combining discrete converters. These converters reduce the number of circuit elements, cost, volume and weight of the converter and provide a constant output power in different weather conditions. Furthermore, soft switching techniques can be applied to increase efficiency. In this paper, a Zero Voltage Transition (ZVT) dual input boost converter is presented. Only one auxiliary circuit is used to provide the soft switching condition for all of the semiconductor elements. The proposed converter, which is simulated by ORCAD software, is theoretically analyzed. To confirm the validity of the theoretical analysis, a prototype of proposed converter was constructed. Simulation and experimental results confirm the theoretical analysis. An efficiency comparison shows a one percent improvement at nominal loads.

A novel non-isolated bidirectional soft-switching SEPIC/ZETA converter with reduced ripple currents is proposed and characterized in this study. Two auxiliary switches and an inductor are added to the original bidirectional SEPIC/ZETA components to form a new direct power delivery path between input and output. The proposed converter can be operated in the forward SEPIC and reverse ZETA modes with reduced ripple currents and increased voltage gains attributed to the optimized selection of duty ratios. All switches in the proposed converter can be operated at zero-current-switching turn-on and/or turn-off through soft current commutation. Therefore, the switching and conduction losses of the proposed converter are considerably reduced compared with those of conventional bidirectional SEPIC/ZETA converters. The operation principles and characteristics of the proposed converter are analyzed in detail and verified by the simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, a novel type of auxiliary switched capacitor assisted edge resonant soft switching PWM resonant DC-DC converter with two simple auxiliary commutation lossless inductor snubbers is presented. The operation principle of this converter is described using the switching mode equivalent circuits. This newly developed multi resonant DC-DC converter can regulate its DC output AC power under a principle of constant frequency edge-resonant soft switching commutation by an asymmetrical PWM duty cycle control scheme. The high frequency power regulation and actual power characteristics of the proposed soft switching PWM resonant DC-DC converter are evaluated and discussed. The operating performances of the newly proposed soft switching inverter are represented based on simulation results from an applications point of view.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the fluid balance of the patients who were either on soft fluid diet or total parenteral nutrition. We studied 19 patients with neurologic disorders and 22 patients with oromaxillary surgery who were admitted to either D university hospital in Choognam or S general hospital in Seoul between May and November 1995. The mean age for the patients who had oromaxillary surgery was 24 years and their average hospital stay was 9 days. The mean age of the patients with neurologic disorders was 54 years and they were bedridden for average of 71 days. For the maxillary bone surgery patients we did not limit the range of their activities in the ward during data collection period. The patients with neurological disorders were bedridden and did not move around the ward. They were all either on soft fluid diet, or total parenteral nutrition. The findings of this study are as follows ; 1) The difference of the triceps skinfold thickness between the baseline and the final measurement was 0.4cm for neurologic patient group and 0.5cm for oromaxillary surgery patient group. The difference was not statistically significant in each group. 2) In the oromaxillary surgery patient group, the daily intake of fluid in the form of pure water, other beverages, fluid diet as well as IV fluid was 4581m1 while urine output was 2979ml. The difference between fluid intake and output was statistically significant, indicating that fluid intake was far more than urine output. In neurologic patient group, the daily intake of fluid including water from fluid diet and IV fluid was 2701m1 whereas urine output was 2253m1 and they were statistically significant. 3) For a more accurate assessment we adjusted the fluid balance based on weight changes during data collection period. In the oromaxillary surgery patient group. the difference between fluid intake and output was 1238m1 after weight changes being adjusted. The difference was statistically significant, suggesting fluid overload in this patient group. In neurologic patient group, the difference between fluid intake and output considering weight changes was 124ml. The difference was not statistically significant, suggesting that the fluid intake and output was well balanced in this patient group.

본 논문은 기존 블록 터보 부호의 SISO(Soft-input Soft-output) 기반 반복 복호 알고리즘의 일반화 및 활용에 대한 연구를 다루고 있다. R. M. Pyndiah는 AWGN 채널(Additive White Gaussian Noise Channel)에서 2차원 Linear Block Code(선형 블록 부호, LBC) 결합으로 구성된 Product 부호의 SISO 반복 복호 방식을 제안했으며, 이를 블록 터보 부호라 하였다. 블록 터보 부호의 SISO 복호방식은 SIHO(Soft-input Hard-output) 복호 방식인 Chase 알고리즘의 부호 판정을 기반으로 연판정 정보를 생성 후 전달하여 반복적인 복호를 수행한다. 블록 터보 부호는 AWGN 채널에서 높은 Code-rate(부호율)의 Product 부호에 대해 적은 SISO 복호 반복만으로도 샤논 한계에 근접하는 우수한 성능을 보여준다. 본 논문에서는 BPSK(Binary Phase Shift Keying) 변조와 AWGN 채널 전송을 가정한 기존 블록 터보 부호 복호 알고리즘을 채널 출력의 LLR(Log-likelihood Ratio)에 기반한 알고리즘으로 일반화하고, LDPC(Low-density Parity Check) 부호와 블록 터보 부호의 직렬 결합 구조에서 일반화된 알고리즘 활용 예를 제시한다.

현대 디지털 통신 시스템에서는 여러 가지 열화 조건을 극복하기 위하여 거의 모든 시스템에서 오류정정 부호를 사용하며, 최근에는 반복적인 복호 기법으로 우수한 복호 성능 도출이 가능한 터보부호나 저밀도 패리티 검사부호 등을 사용하는 시스템이 늘고 있는 추세이다. 특히 반복적인 복호 방법으로 성능을 향상 시키는 부호를 다중안테나 시스템에서 사용하기 위해서는 수신단에서 송선 신호를 검출할 때 연판정된 채널 이득값의 계산이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 반복 복호 기법을 사용하는 다중안테나 시스템에서 효과적으로 연판정 값을 검출하는 방법에 대해 살펴보고, 여러 가지 MIMO 검출 방법에 대하여 그 유도 과정을 제시한다. 또한, 유도된 연판정 검출 방법에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과를 제시하여, 제안된 방식이 적은 복잡도로 우수한 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 단일 반송파 시스템에서 LDPC(low density parity check) 부호와 LMS(least mean square) 알고리즘을 이용한 적응 등화기를 사용한 시스템에서 간단한 계산을 통한 궤환 신호를 생성하여 성능을 향상 시키는 개선된 터보 등화기를 제안한다. LDPC부호는 오류를 정정하는데 있어서 매우 좋은 성능을 보인다. 그러나 LDPC 부호는 열악한 환경에서 좋은 성능을 내기 위하여 긴 패리티 검사행렬을 사용하고 LDPC 부호의 반복을 증가시켜 계산량이 크게 늘어난다. 추가로 성능을 더욱 향상시키기 위해 LDPC 부호 기반의 터보 등화 방법을 사용한다. 이 시스템의 경우 반복횟수의 증가로 계산량이 매우 크게 증가하는 단점이 있다. 이러한 계산량의 증가를 보완하기 위하여 LDPC 부호와 연판정 이후의 신호를 이용하여 적응 등화기를 조절한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 더 적은 계산량으로 LDPC 부호를 사용하고 SISO-MMSE(soft input soft output minimum mean square error)알고리즘 기반인 터보 등화기에 근접하는 성능을 내는 것을 확인하였다.
