In this paper, we analyze the dominant noise source of conventional inductively degenerated common-source (CS) cascode low noise amplifier (LNA) when width and gate length of stacked transistors vary. Analytical MOSFET and its noise model are used to estimate the contributions of noise sources. All parameters are based on measured data of 60nm, 90nm and 130nm CMOS devices. Based on the noise analysis for different frequencies and device parameters including process nodes, the dominant noise source can be analyzed to optimize noise figure on the configuration. We verified analytically that the intuctively degenerated CS topology can not sustain its benefits in noise above a certain operation frequency of LNA over different process nodes.

In this study, we applied edge-pulse modulation to prevent the flicker of light-emitting diode (LED) light in a visible light identification system. In the visible light transmitter, positive pulses were transmitted at the edges of the low-to-high transition points, and negative pulses were transmitted at the edges of the high-to-low transition points of the non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data waveforms. In the visible light receiver, the NRZ waveforms were regenerated by making low-to-high and high-to-low transitions at the point of the positive and negative pulses, respectively. This method has two advantages. First, it ensures that the LED light is flicker-free because the average optical power of the LED was kept constant during data transmission in the transmitter. Second, the 120 Hz optical noise from the adjacent lighting lamps was easily cut off using a simple RC-high pass filter in the receiver.

In this paper, we analyzed the noise figure of cascode low noise amplifier (LNA) based on the measured data of 65nm CMOS devices. By using the channel thermal noise model of transistors, we expanded noise figure equation and divided the equation into three parts to see its contributions to noise figure. We also varied design parameters such as bias point, transistor gate width, and operating frequency. Our results show that different noise sources dominate at the different operating frequencies. One can easily find the noise transition frequency with device models in ahead of the practical design. Therefore, this research provides a low noise design approach for different operating frequencies.

PURPOSES : The fundamental diagram provides basic information necessary in the analysis of traffic flow and highway operation. When traffic flow is congested, the density-flow points in the fundamental diagram are widely scattered and move in a stochastic manner. This paper investigates the pattern of density-flow point transitions and identifies car-following behaviors underlying the density-flow transitions. METHODS : From a microscopic analysis of 722 fundamental diagrams of NGSIM data, a total of 20 transition patterns of fundamental diagrams are identified. Prominent features of the transition patterns are explained by the behavior of the leader and follower. RESULTS : It is found out that the average speed and the speed difference between the leader and the follower critically determine the density-flow transition pattern. The density-flow path is very sensitive to the values of vehicle speed and spacing especially at low speed and high density such that most fluctuations in the fundamental diagram in the congested regime is due to the noise of speed and spacing variations. CONCLUSIONS : The result of this study suggests that the average speed, the speed difference between the leader and the follower, and the random variations of speed and spacing are dominant factors that explain the transition patterns of a fundamental diagram.

Solar array simulator (SAS) is a special DC power supply that regulates the output voltage or current to emulate characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) panels. Especially, the control of SAS is a challenging task due to the nonlinearity in the output curve, which is dependent on irradiance as well as temperature and is determined by panel materials. Conventionally, both current-mode control and voltage-mode control should be alternated by partitioning the operating curve into multiple sections, which is not only for the measurement noise problem with the feedback sensing but also for the control stability issue near the maximum power point. However, the occurrence of transition among different controllers may deteriorate the overall performance. To eliminate the mode transitions, a novel single controller scheme has been introduced in this paper, where the reference operating projection technique enables simple, smooth and numerically stable control. Theoretical consideration on the loop stability issue is discussed and the performance is verified experimentally for the emulation of a PV panel data in view of stability and response speed.

A sensorless motor control scheme with conventional back-Electro Motive Force (EMF) sensing based on zero crossing point (ZCP) detection has been widely used in various applications. However, there are several problems with the conventional method for effectively driving sensorless brushless motors. For example, a phase mismatch of 30 degrees occurs between the ZCP and commutation time. Additionally, most of the motor speed/current controls are achieved based on a pulse width modulation (PWM) method, which generates significant noise that distracts the back-EMF sensing. Due to the PWM switching, the ZCP is not deterministic, and thus the efficiency of the motor is reduced because the phase transition points become uncertain. Moreover, the motor driving performance is degraded at a low speed range due to the effect of PWM noise. To solve these problems, an improved back-EMF detection method based on a differential line method is proposed in this paper. In addition, the proposed sensorless BLDC driver addresses the problems by using a variable voltage driver generated from a buck converter. The variable voltage driver does not generate the PWM switching noise. Consequently, the proposed sensorless motor driver improves 1) the signal-to-noise ratio of back-EMF, 2) the operation range of a BLDC motor, and 3) the torque characteristics. The proposed sensorless motor driver is verified through simulations and experiments.

일반적으로 QRS간격은 시작점을 기준으로 끝점까지의 간격을 말하지만 그 기준이 모호하고 Q와 S의 검출이 정확하지 않아 부정맥 분류 성능을 저하시키는 경우가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 심전도신호 중 가장 큰 피크인 R파를 정확히 검출한 후 이를 기준으로 위상 변이 추적 기법을 적용하여 Q와 S의 시작점과 끝점을 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 전처리 과정을 통해 잡음이 제거된 정확한 R파를 검출한다. 이후 심전도신호의 미분값을 통해 QRS패턴을 분류하고, R파를 기준으로 위상이 변화되는 방향과 횟수를 추적함으로써 Q, S의 시작점과 끝점을 추출하는 방법이다. 제안한 방법의 우수성을 입증하기 위해 MIT-BIH 부정맥 데이터베이스 48개의 레코드를 대상으로 R파 검출율은 99.60%의 성능을 나타내었고, 위상 변이 추적 기법의 경우 조기심실수축(PVC)이 30개 이상 포함된 MIT-BIH 10개의 레코드를 대상으로 조기심실수축 분류율을 각각 비교 분석한 결과 94.12%로 우수하게 나타났다.

반도체 칩의 집적도가 급격히 향상됨에 따라 칩의 I/O 수가 증ㅇ가하여 패키지의 크기가 커질 뿐 아니라 칩 자체의 가격보다 패키지의 가격이 높아지고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 집적도의 증가에 의한 I/O 수으이 증가를 억제할 수있는 방법이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 CTR(Constant-Transition-Rate) 코드 심벌 펄스의 상승 예지와 하강 예지의 위치에 따라 각각 2비트 씩의 디지털 데이터를 엔코딩함으로써 I/O 핀 수를 50% 감소 시킬 수 있는 I/O 인터페이스 회로를 제안한다. 제안한 CTR 코드의 한 심벌은 4비트 데이터를 포함하고 있어 기존의 인터페이스 회로와 비교하여 심벌 속도가 절반으로 감소되고, 엔코딩 신호의 단위 시간당 천이 수가 일정하며, 천이 위치가 넓게 분산되어 동시 스위칭 잡음(Simultaneous Switehing Noise, SSN)이 작아진다. 채널 엔코더는 논리 회로만으로 구현하고, 채널 디코더는 오버샘플링(oversampling) 기법을 이용하여 신호를 복원하는 입출력 회로를 설계하였다. 설계한 회로는 0.6${\mu}m$ CMOS SPICE 파라미터를 이용하여 시뮬레이션함으로써 동작을 검증하였으며, 동작 속도는 200 Mbps/pin 이상이 됨을 확인 하였다. 제안한 방식을 Altera사의 FPGA를 이용하여 구성하였으며, 구성한 회로는 핀 당 22.5 Mbps로 데이터를 전송함을 실험적으로 검증하였다.

When biped robots make turns, the ability to walk stably and precisely along any circular path is crucial. In this context, inverse kinematics solutions are found for accurate gait realization, and new zero moment point(ZMP) equations are derived with respect to the cyclindrical coordinate system to facilitate generation of stable walking patterns. Then, appropriate steady and transitional walking patterns are both proposed in form of time functons. Subsequently, walking patterns for a path but of different speeds are generated using the functions and associated formulas, and preliminarily checked for stability based on the ZMP equations. Upon comparison of those cases, one can see how and when robots may fall down during circular walking. Finally, those patterns are put to test on the sample robot by ADAMS(R) along with the inverse kinematics solutions and a new balance control scheme compensating for insufficient stability particulary during the initial transition period. Test results show that the robot can walk along the circular path as predicted at a resonably high speed despite the distributed mass and ground contact effects, validating effectiveness of the suggested approach.

In this paper, control of a planar two-link structurally flexible robotic manipulator executing unconstrained and constrained maneuvers is considered. The dynamic model, which is obtained by using the extended Hamilton's principle and the Galerkin criterion, includes the impact force generated during the transition from unconstrained to constrained segment of the robotic task. A method is presented to obtain the linearized equations of motion in Cartesian space for use in designing the control system. The linear quadratic Gaussian with loop transfer recovery (LQG/LTR) design methodology is exploited to design a robust feedback control system that can handle modeling errors and sensor noise, and operate on Cartesian space trajectory errors. The LQG/LTR compensator together with a feedforward loop is used to control the flexible manipulator. Simulated results are presented for a numerical example.
