This paper presents a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna that rejects narrow and broad bands and is suitable for wireless communications. The base of the proposed antenna has a circular patch that can cover the UWB frequency range (3.1~10.6 GHz). The interference issues caused by co-existence within the UWB operation frequency are overcome by a design that uses a parallel-coupled asymmetric dual-line with a circular monopole antenna. The proposed antenna showed a stable radiation pattern, realized gain and reflection coefficient lower than -10 dB across the UWB operation bandwidth except for 5.15~5.85 GHz and 7.25~8.4 GHz. The fabrication, simulation, and measurement results obtained for the proposed antenna were in good agreement with the expected values.

In this paper, a multiple-output converter using a coupledinductor is proposed. The Asymmetrical Half-Bridge Converter (AHBC), which is used as a master converter, obtains ZVS in the primary side switches. For the tight output voltage regulation of the slave output, the Secondary Side Post Regulator (SSPR) is adopted. The proposed magnetically coupled output filter inductor reduces the number of semi-conductor devices and magnetic components. Also, the circuit enables ZCS off switching in the SSPR MOSFET and rectifying diodes. The modes of operation which are caused by the coupled-inductor and post regulator are explained. The analyzed modes of operation of the proposed multiple-output converter are verified by the simulation and experimental results.

The biodegradability and decomposition efficiencies increase with the pre-treatment of sludge in a digestion process. In this study, the feasibility of ultrasound coupled with potassium permanganate oxidation as a disintegration method and digestibility of aerobic reactor fed with disintegrated sludge with ultrasound coupled potassium permanganate were investigated. The first stage of the study focused on determining the optimum condition for ultrasonic pre-treatment for achieving better destruction efficiency of sludge. The second part of the study, the aerobic digestibility of sludge disintegrated with ultrasound and potassium permanganate oxidation alone and combined were examined comparatively. The results showed that when 20 min of ultrasonic pre-treatment applied, the specific energy output was 49384 kJ/kgTS with disintegration degree of 58.84%. During the operation of aerobic digester, VS/TS ratios of digesters fed with disintegrated sludge decreased indicating that disintegration methods could obviously enhance aerobic digestion performance. The highest reduction in volatile solids was 75% in the digester fed with ultrasound+potassium permanganate disintegrated sludge at the end of the operation compared to digester fed with raw sludge. Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) levels in sludge supernatant increased with this combined method significantly. Besides, it promoted the production of ${\bullet}OH$, thus enhancing the release of Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) from the sludge. Disintegration with all methods used in this study could not improve Capillary Suction Time (CST) reduction in disintegrated digesters during the operation. The results demonstrated that the combined ultrasound treatment and potassium permanganate oxidation method improves the biodegradability compared to control reactor or their single application.

This paper presents a zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) boost converter using a coupled inductor. It utilizes an additional winding to the boost inductor and an auxiliary diode. The ZVS characteristic of the proposed converter reduces the switching losses of the active power switches and raises the power conversion efficiency. The principle of operation and a system analysis are presented. The theoretical analysis and performance of the proposed converter were verified with a 100W experimental prototype operating at a 107 kHz switching frequency.

In this paper, the coupled inductor scheme instead of noncoupled inductors is suggested to reduce the dimension, weight and cost of the magnetic core. The simulation results have verified the effectiveness of the flying-capacitor MMC with coupled inductors and its control method for medium-voltage induction motor drives at low-speed operation.

In this study a new high step-up dc-dc converter is presented. The operation of the proposed converter is based on the capacitor switching and coupled inductor with a single active power switch in its structure. A passive voltage clamp circuit with two capacitors and two diodes is used in the proposed converter for elevating the converter's voltage gain with the recovered energy of the leakage inductor, and for lowering the voltage stress on the power switch. A switch with a low $R_{DS}$ (on) can be adopted to reduce conduction losses. In the generalized mode of the proposed converter, to reach a desired voltage gain, capacitor stages with parallel charge and series discharge techniques are extended from both sides of secondary side of the coupled inductor. The proposed converter has the ability to alleviate the reverse recovery problem of diodes with circuit parameters. The operating principle and steady-states analyses are discussed in detail. A 40W prototype of the proposed converter is implemented in the laboratory to verify its operation.

A de-embedding method for multiport networks, especially for coupled odd interconnection lines, is presented in this paper. This method does not require a conversion from S-parameters to T-parameters, which is widely used in the de-embedding technique of multiport networks based on cascaded simple two-port relations, whereas here, we apply an operation to the S-matrix to generate all the uncoupled and coupled coefficients. The derivation of the method is based on the relations of incident and reflected waves between the input of the entire network and the input of the intrinsic device under test (DUT). The characteristics of the intrinsic DUT are eventually achieved and expressed as a function of the S-parameters of the whole network, which are easily obtained. The derived coefficients constitute ABCD-parameters for a convenient implementation of the method into cascaded multiport networks. A validation was performed based on a spice-like circuit simulator, and this verified the proposed method for both uncoupled and coupled cases.

본 연구에서는 제한된 수자원 부존량을 효율적으로 사용하고 각 댐의 저류량, 수요에 대한 용수공급량 및 하천유지용수를 최대화하기 위해 댐 상 하류간의 연계운영 모형을 이용하여 연계운영 효과를 분석하고 댐과 보의 최적 연계운영을 통한 하류단의 수문학적 거동 특성 변화를 검토하여 댐운영 개선방안 도출 등 다양한 하천관리 개선 방안에 대해 연구하였다. 대상유역은 신뢰성 높은 수문자료를 획득 가능한 금강 수계 유역으로 하였으며 수문자료는 순물소모량을 감안한 '67~'06년(40개년) 유입량(수자원장기종합계획, 2006)을 유역의 일유입량으로 변경하여 적용하였다. 연계운영 시 네트워크상에서 용수공급 가능한 범위는 연평가시 95%를 만족하는 신뢰도를 적용하였으며 기존에 건설된 용담, 대청댐에 의해 구해진 저수지수는 0.292로 산정되었고 향후 추가될 금남, 금강, 부여보에 의해 재산출된 저수지수는 0.297로 나타났다. 결과적으로 29.2%를 저류할 수 있는 상태에서 보가 추가되면서 29.7%로 저류량이 증가됨을 나타낸다. 규암지점의 유황변동특성을 분석한 결과, 각 단계가 증가할수록 저수량 $Q_{275}$과 갈수량 $Q_{355}$은 증가하고 풍수량 $Q_{95}$과 평수량 $Q_{185}$은 감소하여 대상지점의 유황이 전반적으로 개선되는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 특히, 갈수량의 경우 댐과 보에 의해 통제가 되지 않은 수치 보다 댐-보연계 시 $16.3m^3/s$ 증가하였다. 본 연구를 통해 자연상태의 유황보다 댐연계 및 댐-보 연계운영에 의해서 유황이 안정되고 이로 인해 안정적으로 이용할 수 있는 용수가 증가되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
