A design of 2 stage S-DLVA(successive detector log video amplifier) was studied to detect wide dynamic radar pulse ranging from -70 ㏈m to 0㏈m. A basic design idea was focused on the linear detection in logarithmic scale of wide dynamic range radar pulses from nosie-like weak power of -70 ㏈m to relatively high power 0 ㏈m. It is highly formidable, since it requires high speed detection less than 10 nsec over the operating frequency ranges from 6 to 18 ㎓. A limiter diode, a tunnel diode and an L17-C were used as a protecting device, a detector diode and a log video amplifier in companion as a single stage detector to give voltage output proportional to the input power of about 35 ㏈ dynamic range. A protype of 2-stage DLVA having one more single stage detector was fabricated with a 32 ㏈ low noise amplifier and a 3 ㏈ hybrid coupler to provide total 70 ㏈ dynamic range detection. The logging characteristics were measured to have log slope of 25m.V/㏈ against 70 ㏈ logging range from -55 ㏈m to +15 ㏈m, the log linearity of within +/- 1.5 ㏈, and tangential sensitivity was at -63 ㏈m. The pulse dynamics of rise time and recovery time were measured as 50 nsec and 1.2 $\mu$sec, respectively. The reason might be due to the parasitic capacitances of packaged limiter, tunnel diode, and L17-C.

We have studied the characteristics of a cw Ti:sapphire laser pumped by an Ar-ion laser. Ti:sapphire is one of the most attractive materials for the generation of ultra-short pulses because of its very broad gain bandwidth. We used a 4.1 mm thick, 0.15 wt. % $Ti^{3+}$ -doped, Brewster-angled Ti:sapphire crystal and made a folded cavity to create a strong focusing mode. The folding angle of the cavity was adjusted to $15.4^{\circ}$ to compensate for the astigmatism from the Brewster-angled Ti:sapphire crystal. 5 WAr-ion laser was used as a pumping source. We observed that the Ti:sapphire cw output power was sensitively changed with respect to the condition of the folded cavity. The threshold pumping power was 2 Wand the slope efficiency was 16% when an output coupler of 10% transmission was used. The maximum output power was more than 450 mW at 5 W pumping. mping.

본 논문에서는 전력선 통신 모뎀에 필수적으로 사용하고 있는 AC 커플러의 대기모드 상태에서의 저전력 AC 커플러 개발에 관한 것으로, 전력선 통신(PLC : Power Line Communication) 모뎀은 디지털 가전기기를 위한 지능형 홈 네트워크 구축은 물론 원격검침 등의 각종 자동화 시스템에 활발하게 적용됨에 따라 저전력 대기모드 지원의 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 이러한 요구를 충족시키기 위해서 본 논문에서는 전력선 통신 모뎀에 필수적으로 사용하고 있는 AC 커플러의 대기모드 상태에서의 저전력 AC 커플러를 위해 1차측 AC 커플러를 송신측과 수신측으로 분리하여 설계하였다. 또한 수신 커플링 회로의 경우 현재 이용되고 있는 커플링 회로의 차단주파수를 10kHz에서 전력선 모뎀의 캐리어주파수에 영향을 미치지 않는 70kHz 고역 통과필터로 설계한다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 Simulation 및 실험을 통하여 제안된 AC 커플러가 기존 전력선 통신 모뎀과 동일한 성능을 유지하면서, 대기시 소모되는 소비전력을 크게 감소시켜, 기존 전력선 모뎀에 제안된 AC 커플러로 대치할 수 있음을 실험을 통해 규명하고 입증하였다.

Semiconductor diode lasers that can generate one watt or more of optical energy for tens of milliseconds (quasi continuous wave) are now readily available. Several researchers have demonstrated that this power level, when properly coupled, can reliably initiate pyrotechnic mixtures. This means that the initiator containing the pyrotechnic can be protected against inadvertent initiation from electromagnetic radiation or electrostatic discharge by a conducting Faraday cage surrounding the explosive. Only a small dielectric window penetrates the housing of the initiator, thereby eliminating the conductors necessitated by a bridgewire electroexplosive device. The diode laser itself, however, functions at a low voltage (typically 3 volts) and hence is susceptible to inadvertent function from power supply short circuits, electrostatic discharge or induced RF energy. The rocket motor arm-fire device de-scribed in this paper uses a diode laser, but protects it from unintentional function with a Radio Frequency Attenuating Coupler (RFAC).The RFAC, invented by ML Aviation, a UK company, transfers power into a Faraday cage via magnetic flux, thereby protecting the diode, its drive circuit and the pyrotechnic from all electromagnetic and electrostatic hazards. The first production application of a diode laser and RFAC device was by the Korean Agency for Defense Development.

Partial discharge(PD) tests are used to evaluate the insulation condition of stator windings in two 4.16kV and three 6.6kV motors. These tests were conducted using a conventional partial discharge detector(PDD) and turbine generator analyzer(TGA). Off-line PD measurements were performed on five high voltage motors. PD magnitudes ranged from 1000 pC to 5400 pC at the normal line-to-ground voltage. Five high voltage motors have been equipped with 80pF epoxy-mica coupler on the motor terminal box. The PD pulse from sensors were measured with the TGA instrument. TGA summarizes each plot with two Quantities such as the peak PD magnitude(Qm) and the total PD activity(NQN). The defect mechanisms of high voltage motor can be associated with PD patterns such as internal, slot and conductor surface discharges. The PDD and TGA test results of No. 4 motor showed that internal discharge was detected in voids of the groundwall insulation.

This paper describes implementation of a 165 MHz, 5 kW RF high power amplifier (HPA) for particle accelerator applications. The HPA consists of a drive amplifier for main amplifiers driving, sixteen 600 W class-AB push-pull power amplifier pallets and Wilkinson power divider/combiner using lumped LC components, which are divided/combined power amplifier pallet outputs. To detected the amplifier circuit of normal and reflected output power conditions, we used a bidirectional coupler. To radiate heat of main power amplifier, we were used an water-cooled copper plates to go through a water for radiation of heat. The HPA of center frequency 165 MHz has archived an efficiency of 62.5 % at 5 kW of power level experimentally.

In this paper, a high-efficiency power amplifier is implemented by using a drain bias control circuit operated at low input power for WPT(Wireless Power Transfer). Adaptive bias control circuit was added to high-efficiency class-E amplifier. It was possible to obtain the overall improvement in efficiency by adjusting the drain bias at low input power. The proposed adaptive class-E amplifier is implemented by using the input and output matching network and serial resonant circuit for improvement in efficiency. Drain bias control circuit consists of a directional coupler, power detector, and operational amplifier for adjusting the drain bias according to the input power. The measured results show that output powers of 41.83 dBm were obtained at 13.56 MHz. At this frequency, we have obtained the power added efficiency(PAE) of 85.67 %. It was confirmed increase of PAE of an average of 8 % than the fixed bias from the low input power level of 0 dBm ~ 6 dBm.

In this paper, impedance characteristics of overhead medium-voltage (MV) power line for power line communication (PLC) is analyzed. For analysis, a two-port equivalent network model of MV power lines is derived. By applying the equivalent model and basic transmission line theory, input impedance at the signal induction part is calculated. And also calculated input impedance of power line itself that the medium voltage coupler and coaxial cable effect are removed. For verification, impedance of power lines is measured at a test field for an MV PLC. The results show that impedance of MV power line itself is between $200\;{\Omega}\;and\;300\;{\Omega}$ and converges to a half of their characteristic impedance with increasing frequency. And also measured data is very similar to calculated data.

A half-height waveguide power combiner is designed and analyzed for Ka-band satellite application. The branch line directional coupler is utilized as a power combiner to achieve high port-to-port isolation and low insertion loss. The half height waveguide is adopted to reduce the volume and mass of a power combiner. In this paper a half height waveguide power combiner is designed and analyzed by FDTD and its performance is compared with that of a full-height waveguide power combiner. The designed half-height combiner having optimum order is manufactured and tested. The measurement shows that the designed half-height power combiner satisfies all the performance requirements (insertion loss less than 0.3 dB, reflection loss more than 20dB, port to port isolation more than 20 dB, and port to port phase difference within 5$^{\circ}$) in the satellite communication frequency band of 20.255 GHz to 21.255 GHz.

The research of amplifier have been actively conducted to replace the Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier (TWTA) in the mmWave. For Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPA), which combine semiconductor-type devices to obtain high output, Low-loss, high-efficiency combination techniques are required to meet the required output as the output of a single relatively low device is relatively low. In this paper, we design and produce an 8-way waveguide combiner and a reflective loss of more than 20dB and a binding efficiency of 85% or more were identified. Field analysis calculates the critical power inside the combiner. It secured stable Power Ratings and built-in coupler for power monitoring to achieve miniaturization and light weight.
