IEEE 802.15.4 Zigbee 네트워크와 같은 USNs(Ubiquitous Sensor Networks)은 ISM(Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) 주파수 대역을 WiFi 네트워크와 공동으로 사용을 하고 있다. 동일 지역 내에서 두 개의 네트워크가 동작하게 되면 주파수가 겹침으로 인하여 패킷 충돌이 발생 할 수 있다. 이를 확인하기 위해 WiFi와 ZigBee 통신 네트워크을 한 지역에 설치하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 WiFi 와 ZigBee 간 주파수 간섭으로 인해 데이터 전송률이 저하됨을 확인하였다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 주파수 충돌회피 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 알고리즘에서는 주파수 충돌이 감지되면 각 노드에 다른 주파수를 갖는 새로운 통신 채널을 할당한다. 제안된 주파수 충돌 회피 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하고 결과를 기술하였다.

The purpose of this study is to measure the pizza purchasing behavioral characteristics of respondents and importances of factors affecting pizza purchase, to estimate the effects of attributes on choice of pizza restaurant, and to predict probability of selecting a particular pizza restaurant. The questionnaire consisted of two parts: The paired experimental profiles, purchasing behavior and importances of factors affecting pizza purchase. This study generated profiles of 16 hypothetical pizza restaurants based on seven attributes. The profiles comprised 16 discrete sets of variables, each of which had two levels. For this study, researcher randomly selected 150 university students as respondents. Twenty one students did not complete the survey instrument, resulting in a final sample size of 129. All estimations were carried out using frequencies, $X^2$, independent samples t-test, phreg procedure of SAS package. The results were as followed: Some purchasing behavioral characteristics and importances of factors affecting pizza purchase were significantly different by purchase frequency. Based on the estimated models developed for the two purchase frequency groups, the Chi-square statistics were significant at p<0.001. The parameter estimate for late delivery time with frequently purchase frequency group was highest, and the parameter estimate for price with frequently purchase frequency group was highest. The pizza restaurants that charged 20,000 won, offered 100% discount on eleventh pizza, promised to deliver pizza in 20 min, usually delivered the pizza as promised, offered 2 or more types of pizza crust, delivered steaming hot pizza, and did not offer a money-back guarantee which was favored by each of the two purchase frequency groups. The results from this study suggested that there was an opportunity to increase market share and profit by improving operations so that customers can receive discount and money-back guarantee simultaneously, and by reducing price, delivery time.

This paper presents a new hybrid soft switching dc-dc converter with a low circulating current and high circuit efficiency. The proposed hybrid converter includes two sub-converters sharing two power switches. One is a three-level PWM converter and the other is a LLC converter. The LLC converter and the three-level converter share the lagging-leg switches and extend the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) range of the lagging-leg switches from nearly zero to full load since the LLC converter can be operated at f_sw (switching frequency) $\approx$ f_r (series resonant frequency). A passive snubber is used on the secondary side of the three-level converter to decrease the circulating current on the primary side, especially at high input voltage and full load conditions. Thus, the conduction losses due to the circulating current are reduced. The output sides of the two converters are connected in series. Energy can be transferred from the input voltage to the output load within the whole switching period. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed converter is verified by experiments with a 1.44kW prototype circuit.

This paper presents a new resonant converter to achieve the soft switching of power devices. Two full-bridge converters are connected in series to clamp the voltage stress of power switches at V_in/2. Thus, power MOSFETs with a 500V voltage rating can be used for 800V input voltage applications. Two flying capacitors are connected on the AC side of the two full-bridge converters to automatically balance the two split input capacitor voltages in every switching cycle. Two resonant tanks are used in the proposed converter to share the load current and to reduce the current stress of the passive and active components. If the switching frequency is less than the series resonant frequency of the resonant tanks, the power MOSFETs can be turned on under zero voltage switching, and the rectifier diodes can be turned off under zero current switching. The switching losses on the power MOSFETs are reduced and the reverse recovery loss is improved. Experiments with a 1.5kW prototype are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed converter.

본 논문에서는 TVWS내에서 WiBro와 WLAN간의 이격거리에 따른 간섭 송신기의 최대출력의 기준치 설정이 고려되었다. 기준치 설정에 대한 분석은 이기종 시스템들이 동일 주파수 대역을 공유하는 경우의 상호 공존을 위한 파라미터로 수행되었다. 두 시스템간의 이격거리와 출력간의 관계를 분석하기 위해 두 가지 경우, 첫째로 간섭 송신기가 WiBro이고 WLAN가 희생 수신기인 경우와 두 번째로 그 반대인 경우를 고려하였다. 분석된 다양한 공유시나리오에서의 상호 공존 결과는 향후 동일 주파수 환경에서 다양한 통신 프로토콜을 이용하는 무선기기에 대한 상호 공존 조건을 마련하는 기술개발에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

This paper presents an interleaved resonant converter with a parallel-series transformer connection in order to achieve ripple current reduction at the output capacitor, zero voltage turn-on for the active switches, zero current turn-off for the rectifier diodes, less voltage stress on the rectifier diodes, and less current stress on the transformer primary windings. The primary windings of the two transformers are connected in parallel in order to share the input current and to reduce the root-mean-square (rms) current on the primary windings. The secondary windings of the two transformers are connected in series in order to ensure that the transformer primary currents are balanced. A full-wave diode rectifier is used at the output side to clamp the voltage stress of the rectifier diode at the output voltage. Two circuit modules are operated with the interleaved PWM scheme so that the input and output ripple currents are reduced. Based on the resonant behavior, all of the active switches are turned on under zero voltage switching (ZVS), and the rectifier diodes are turned off under zero current switching (ZCS) if the operating switching frequency is less than the series resonant frequency. Finally, experiments with a 1kW prototype are described to verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

UWB시스템은 수 GHz의 넓은 대역폭을 이용해 적은 전력으로도 높은 전송률을 낼 수 있도록 하는 차세대 이동 통신시스템이다. 여기에 Cognitive Radio 기술을 이용하면 위성통신시스템에 간섭을 주지 않고 서로 공존하여 주파수를 효과적으로 사용할 수 있는데, 위성통신수신기의 수동적인 특성 대문에 적용이 힘들다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 수동적인 위성통신기의 Local Oscillator에 증폭기와 안테나를 연결하여 LO 신호를 방사시키고 UWB터미널은 Energy Detection을 이용하여 위성통신수신기에서 방사된 LO신호를 감지하는 구조를 제안한다. 또한 제안한 구조에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통해 UWB시스템과 위성통신시스템의 공존 가능성을 확인한다.
