결정질 실리콘 웨이퍼의 도핑농도와 도핑깊이, 비저항은 태양전지의 효율을 결정하는데 매우 중요한 요소이다. 높은 효율을 갖는 태양전지의 설계를 위해 PC1D를 이용해 태양전지의 에미터 도핑농도와 깊이, 베이스 비저항을 조절하였다. 최적화 결과 emitter peak doping $1\times10^{19}cm^{-3}$와 depth factor $1{\mu}m$, base $\rho$ $ 0.1\Omega$-cm, 즉 sheet resistance $69.15\Omega$/square와 $X_j$ $1.603{\mu}m$일 때 $I_{sc}$ = 5.478(A), $V_{oc}$ = 0.7013(V), $P_{max}$ = 2.828(W), FF = 73.61(%), Efficiency = 19.03(%)의 고효율을 얻을 수 있다.

Regulated peak power tracking (RPPT) systems such as the series structure and the series-parallel structures are commonly used in satellite space power systems. However, these structures process the solar array power or the battery power to the load through two cascaded regulators during one orbit cycle, which reduces the energy transfer efficiency. Also the battery charging time is increased due to placement of converter between the battery and the solar array. In this paper a parallel structure has been proposed which can improve the energy transfer efficiency and the battery charging time for satellite space power RPPT systems. An analogue controller is used to control all of the required functions, such as load voltage regulation and solar array stabilization with maximum power point tracking (MPPT). In order to compare the system efficiency and the battery charging efficiency of the proposed structure with those of a series (conventional) structure and a simplified series-parallel structure, simulations are performed and the results are analyzed using a loss analysis model. The proposed structure charges the battery more quickly when compared to the other two structures. Also the efficiency of the proposed structure has been improved under different modes of solar array operation when compared with the other two structures. To verify the system, experiments are carried out under different modes of solar array operation, including PPT charge, battery discharge, and eclipse and trickle charge.

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are increasingly being used as an alternative or supplement to the gamma spectrometric method in determining the full energy peak efficiency (FEPE) necessary for radionuclide identification and quantification. The MC method is more advantageous than the experimental method in terms of both cost and time. Experimental calibration with standard sources is difficult, especially for specimens with unusually shaped geometries. However, with MC, efficiency values can be obtained by modeling the geometry as desired without using any calibration source. Modeling the detector with the correct parameters is critical in the MC method. These parameters given to the user by the manufacturer are especially the dimensions of the crystal and its front edge, the thickness of the dead layer, dimensions, and materials of the detector components. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the front edge geometry of the detector crystal on efficiency, so the effect of rounded and sharp modeled front edges on the FEPE was investigated for <300 keV with three different HPGe detectors in point and volume source geometries using PHITS MC code. All results showed that the crystal should be modeled as a rounded edge, especially for gamma-ray energies below 100 keV.

An on-chip current sensor with fast response time for the peak-current-mode buck regulator is proposed. The initial operating points of the peak current sensor are determined in advance by the valley current level, which is sensed by a valley current sensor. As a result, the proposed current sensor achieves a fast response time of less than 20 ns, and a sensing accuracy of over 90%. Applying the proposed current sensor, the peak-current-mode buck regulator for the mobile application is realized with an operating frequency of 2 MHz, an output voltage of 0.8 V, a maximum load current of 500 mA, and a peak efficiency of over 83%.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) is one of the most promising techniques for 4th generation communication systems. One of the main disadvantages of OFDM is the Peak to Average Power Ratio(PAPR). In this paper, a recoverable peak cancellation(RPC) technique that recovers the cancelled part for the peak-cancelled OFDM signal is introduced. Using the RPC technique, the bit error rate(BER) performance can be greatly improved and the efficiency of the PAPR reduction is nearly that of the clipping method, at a cost of slightly reducing the transmission data rate.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of sample preparation, HPLC conditions and peak measurement methods upon determining progesterone content of poly-d,l-lactide-co-glycolide microspheres. A series of the microspheres with different formulations was first prepared. To determine their actual drug contents, the microspheres were dissolved in tetrahydrofuran and diluted with various amounts of methanol to precipitate the polymer. After removal of polymeric precipitates, the filtrates were subject to HPLC analysis under versatile experimental conditions. Interestingly, the composition of a sample solution (e.g., the ratio of methanol to tetrahydrofuran) affected the magnitudes of both peak fronting and peak broadening of progesterone. Its peak became broader and more asymmetrical at lower methanol:tetrahydrofuran ratios. Furthermore, its peak height was influenced by the proportion of tetrahydrofuran in a sample solution. Such problems encountered with tetrahydrofuran were exacerbated when a larger volume of the sample solution was injected onto an analytical column. Under our experimental conditions a peak area measurement provided more accurate and reliable determination of progesterone content in various microspheres than a peak height determination. Optimizing the composition of a sample solution, HPLC chromatographic conditions and peak analysis methods was a prerequisite to an accurate determination of progesterone encapsulated within microspheres.

This paper proposes a new peak-windowing algorithm with window-length adaptation for peak-to-average power reduction (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Conventional peak windowing algorithm has advantages, such as moderate system complexity with good spectral shape. However, adjacent peak signals within the length of window functions produce the distortion of signal amplitude since window functions might overap with each other. These undesired characteristics of conventional peak windowing algorithm result in the degradation of BER performance. The proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional one with the aid of window-length adaptation. Simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm under the environments of WiBro downlink systems.

기존의 저궤도 인공위성 전력계 시스템에 사용된 직렬 구조, 병렬 구조는 공전 주기 동안 두 번의 전력변환 과정을 거쳐 시스템의 효율을 감소시킨다. 직-병렬 구조는 한 번의 전력변환 과정을 거쳐 시스템의 효율을 향상시키지만 레귤레이터가 추가됨으로써 시스템의 비용과 무게, 크기를 증가시킨다. 본 논문에서는 레귤레이터의 추가 없이 시스템의 효율을 향상시키는 단순화된 직-병렬 구조를 제안한다. 인공위성이 지구를 공전하는 동안 상황에 따라 변화하는 제안한 구조의 동작을 네 가지 모드로 분류하고, 각 모드마다 제안한 시스템을 안정적인 동작을 확인하기 위하여 대신호 분석을 수행하였다. 실험을 통하여 기존의 직렬구조와 제안한 구조의 효율을 비교하였다. 제안한 구조의 안정적인 동작을 검증하기 위해 200W급 태양전지와 TMS320F2812 DSP로 제어되는 100W급 전력조절기 두 모듈을 병렬로 구성하여 실험하였다.
