본 논문에서는 스텔스 무인기의 낮은 RCS를 확보하기 위한 컨포멀 형태의 Ku대역 데이터링크 안테나를 제안한다. 전기적 빔조향 기능을 갖는 위상배열안테나로 FDD 통신방식을 위해 송신부와 수신부를 각각 설계 및 제작하였다. 각각의 안테나는 12*12 평면 형태의 배열안테나로 설계하였으며 단위소자의 위상제어를 통해 Uni-directional 패턴과 Bi-directional 패턴을 형성할 수 있는 기능을 갖고 있다. 빔조향 범위는 theta 방향으로 최대 60도까지, phi 방향으로는 360도까지 빔조향이 가능하도록 설계하였다. 제작 및 측정 결과 컨포멀 형태의 레이돔은 낮은 투과손실을 갖고 있으며, 시스템 성능을 포함하여 요구 규격을 충족하였다. 스텔스 무인기 탑재에 대한 타당성을 확인하였으며, 향후 baseband 장치의 연동 및 디지털 빔조향 기능으로의 변환 등 추가 연구의 방향성을 제시한다.

Several Generation IV nuclear reactor concepts have goals for optimizing investment recovery through phased introduction of multiple units on a common site with shared facilities and/or reconfigurable energy conversion systems. Additionally, small modular reactors are suitable for remote deployment to support highly localized microgrids in isolated, underdeveloped regions. The long-term economic viability of these advanced reactor plants depends on significant reductions in plant operations and maintenance costs. To accomplish these goals, intelligent control and diagnostic capabilities are needed to provide nearly autonomous operations with anticipatory maintenance. A nearly autonomous control system should enable automatic operation of a nuclear power plant while adapting to equipment faults and other upsets. It needs to have many intelligent capabilities, such as diagnosis, simulation, analysis, planning, reconfigurability, self-validation, and decision. These capabilities have been the subject of research for many years, but an autonomous control system for nuclear power generation remains as-yet an unrealized goal. This article describes a functional framework for intelligent, autonomous control that can facilitate the integration of control, diagnostic, and decision-making capabilities to satisfy the operational and performance goals of power plants based on multimodular advanced reactors.

차량용 능동안전 시스템은 전방충돌방지, 차선이탈 경보, 차선변경 지원 등이 있으며 소형차에 도입될 정도로 대중화되고 있다. 대표적인 능동안전 시스템인 FMCW 레이더는 가격 경쟁력과 성능개선을 위해 전방과 측면용 레이더의 통합과 위상배열이나 다중 안테나의 적용이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 차량용 FMCW레이더 시스템의 신호처리부를 저가의 DSP로 구현하기 위한 효율적인 방안들을 제안한다. PWM기반의 아날로그 변환, 계산량을 줄이는 근사화 기법, 효율적인 벡터연산 등을 제안하고 구현하였다. 구현된 신호처리 보드는 1.4ms의 펄스 반복간격에서 1024길이의 FFT 처리가 실시간 성능을 보였다. 실제 도로 실험에서 10Hz의 갱신율로 실시간 동작과 성능을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the digital computer performance evaluations of the three-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) driven by the variable speed prime mover such as the wind turbine using the nodal admittance approach steady-state frequency domain analysis with the experimental results. The three-phase SEIG setup is implemented for small-scale rural renewable energy utilizations. The experimental performance results give a good agreement with those ones obtained from the digital computer simulation. Furthermore, a feedback closed-loop voltage regulation of the three-phase SEIG as a power conditioner which is driven by a variable speed prime mover employing the static VAR compensator (SVC) circuit composed of the thyristor phase controlled reactor (TCR) and the thyristor switched capacitor(TSC) is designed and considered herein for the wind-turbine driven the power conditioner. To validate the effectiveness of the SVC-based voltage regulator of the terminal voltage of the three-phase SEIG, an inductive load parameter disturbances in stand-alone are applied and characterized in this paper. In the stand-alone power utilization system, the terminal voltage response and thyristor triggering angle response of the TCR are plotted graphically. The simulation and the experimental results prove the effectiveness and validity of the proposed SVC which is controlled by the Pl controller in terms of fast response and high performances of the three-phase SEIG driven directly by the rural renewable energy utilization like a variable-speed prime mover.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor tag provides several advantages including battery-less operation and low cost, which are suitable for long-term monitoring. This paper presents a self-powered RFID temperature sensor tag for online temperature monitoring in substation. The proposed sensor tag is used to measure and process the temperature of high voltage equipments in substation, and then wireless deliver the data. The proposed temperature sensor employs a novel phased-locked loop (PLL)-based architecture and can convert the temperature sensor in frequency domain without a reference clock, which can significantly improve the temperature accuracy. A two-stage rectifier adopts a series of auxiliary floating rectifier to boost its gate voltage for higher power conversion efficiency. The sensor tag chip was fabricated in TSMC $0.18{\mu}m$ 1P6M CMOS process. The measurement results show that the proposed temperature sensor tag achieve a resolution of $0.15^{\circ}C$/LSB and a temperature error of $-0.6/0.7^{\circ}C$ within the range from $-30^{\circ}C$ to $70^{\circ}C$. The proposed sensor tag achieves maximum communication distance of 11.8 m.
