본 연구에서는 광섬유를 이용하여 반사형과 투과형의 MR-Compatible Photoplethysmograph (PPG) 측정 시스템을 개발하고, 그 성능을 비교하고자 한다. 반사형 타입은 광섬유 다발의 끝단을 피부에 접촉 시킨 후 반사현상을 이용하여 PPG 신호를 측정하고, 투과형 타입은 광섬유 사이에 피부를 접촉시킨 후 투과현상을 이용하여 PPG 신호를 계측한다. PPG 측정 시스템은 광 신호를 검출하는 센서 부분, 근적외선 광 신호를 송수신하는 광케이블 부분, 신호 증폭 부분, 잡음 제거를 위한 필터부분으로 구성되어 있다. 반사형 및 투과형 PPG 신호의 SNR을 비교한 결과 반사형은 23.5dB이고 투과형은 22.2dB로 차이가 거의 없었다. 그러므로 실험 환경이나 목적에 따라 두 가지 타입 중 효율성이 좀 더 높은 것을 선택하여 사용할 수 있을 것이다.

A highly efficient and compactly integrated balanced power amplifier (PA) for W-CDMA handset applications is presented. To overcome the size limit of a typical balanced PA, a bulky input divider is integrated into a PA MMIC, and a complex output network is replaced with simple lumped-element networks. For efficiency improvement at the low output power level, one of the two amplifiers in parallel is deactivated and the other is partially operated with corresponding load impedance optimization. The implemented PA shows excellent average current consumption of 34.5 mA in urban and 56.3 mA in suburban environments, while exhibiting very good load-insensitivity under condition of VSWR=4:1.

This study presents a new architecture for a field programmable analog array (FPAA) for use in low-frequency applications, and a generalized circuit realization method for the implementation of nth-order elliptic filters. The proposed designs of both the FPAA and elliptic filters are based on the operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) used in implementing OTA-C filters for biopotential signal processing. The proposed FPAA architecture has a flexible, expandable structure with direct connections between configurable analog blocks (CABs) that eliminates the use of switches. The generalized elliptic filter circuit realization provides a simplified, direct synthetic method for an OTA-C symmetric balanced structure for even/odd-nth-order low-pass filters (LPFs) and notch filters with minimum number of components, using grounded capacitors. The filters are mapped on the FPAA, and both architectures are validated with simulations in LTspice using 90-nm complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Both proposed FPAA and filters generalized synthetic method achieve simple, flexible, low-power designs for implementation of biopotential signal processing systems.

A new method for the electrostatic suspension of disk-shaped objects is proposed which is based on a switched-voltage control scheme. It operates according to a relay feedback control and deploys only a single high-voltage power supply capable of delivering a dc voltage of positive and/or negative polarity. In addition to the unique feature that no high-voltage amplifiers are needed, this method provides a remarkable system simplification relative to conventional methods. It is shown that despite the inherent limit cycle property of relay feedback based control, an excellent performance in vibration suppression is attained due to the presence of a relatively large squeeze film damping. In this paper, the functional principle of the switched voltage control scheme, numerical analysis, stator electrode design, and a nonlinear dynamic model of the suspension system are described. Experimental results will be presented for a 4-inch silicon wafer that clearly reveal the capability of the proposed control structure to suspend the wafer stably at an airgap length of 50 .mu.m.

Optical coherence tomography(OCT) is high resolution imaging system which can see the cross section of microscopic organs in the living tissue. In this paper, we analyze the relation between the light source and the resolution of modulated signal in Michelson interferometer. We construct 1-D OCT signal processing hardware such as amplifiers, filters, and demodulate electronic signals from the photo detector. In order to get 2-D OCT image, the synchronization among optical delay line, sample stage and A/D converter is dealt with. In experiments, we verify analog and digital signal processing blocks which apply to the stacks of glasses. Finally we aquire high resolution 2-D OCT image with respect to the onion tissue. We expect that this result can be applied to the medical instrument through performance improvement.

Electrostatic suspension is a method to levitate an object by using electrostatic forces. Its main advantage is to levitate objects without any mechanical contact which fulfills the requirement of an object handling in ultra clean environment. In this paper, the electrostatic suspension system for film-like thin plate such as aluminum sheet, is designed and controlled. In contrast with the conventional electrostatic suspension system which requires the costly and bulky high-voltage amplifiers, it is suggested to use the switching voltage control method in consideration of real industrial application for the handling of such flexible bodies. Some experimental results show that the developed electrostatic suspension system shows good performances to levitate flexible film-like thin plate.

This paper describes the high pass filter with notch charecteristics. The proposed circuits configuration consists of two uniformly distributed RC line (herein after is called URC) and two gain amplifiers ($K_1$ and $K_2$). With the appropriate $K_1$ and $K_2$ , the circuit has a steeper slope of magnitude response at pass band steeper than using a single gain amplifier.

In this paper, a new time-domain adaptive predistortion scheme is proposed to compensate for the nonlinearity of high power amplifiers (HPA) in OFDM systems. A complex Wiener-Hammerstein model (WHM) is adopted to describe the input-output relationship of unknown HPA with linear dynamics, and a power series model with memory (PSMWM) is used to approximate the HPA expressed by WHM. By using the PSMWM, the compensation input to HPA is calculated in a real-time manner so that the linearization from the predistorter input to the HPA output can be attained even if the nonlinear input-output relation of HPA is uncertain and changeable. In numerical example, the effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed and compared with the identification method based on PSMWM.

This paper introduces a way to realize high-pass, band-stop and all-pass transfer functions using Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTAs) and grounded capacitors. The basic circuit configuration is constructed with five OTAs and two grounded capacitors. In the circuit with the proportional block, it is shown that the circuit parameters can be independently set and electronically tuned by the transconductance gains. Although the circuit configuration has been Down, it seems that the feature for realizing the high-pass, the band-pass and the all-pass transfer functions makes the structure more attractive and useful. An example is given together with simulated results by PSPICE.

An optical transmitter was designed and implemented using a commercially available LiNbO$_{3}$ Mach-Zehnder modulator and the power amplifiers. We have adopted a new method to stabilize the bias voltage of the modulator using the second order harmonic component of the dithering signal. This technique has been applied successfully to the 2.5 Gbit/s external modulator for more than 6 hours without bit error rate degradaton. We demonstrated a repeaterless transmission of a 2.5 Gbit/s signal over 150 km nondispersion-shifted fiber using the transmitter. The receiver sensitivity was -34.5 dBm at 10$_{-10}$ bit error rate. No appreciable BER degradation due to fiber dispersion were observed after transmission.
