In this paper, the phase noise of 900 MHz VCO is improved using modified strip line square ring resonator. In order to demonstrate the phase noise improvement of the proposed VCO, the same circuit was manufactured using shorted-circuit resonator. In condition of the same bias current, the phase noise of the proposed VCO with modified square ring resonator is suppressed by 7 dB as - 103 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset compared to the conventional VCO with short-circuit resonator. From the proposed VCO, we achieved output power of - 4.8 dBm, harmonics suppression of 16 dB, and tuning bandwidth of 100 MHz. The proposed VCO consumed 5 mA at 3 V, and its size is 1.2 cm ${\times}$ 1.0 cm.

This paper describes a compact and novel wireless vital sign sensor at 2.4 GHz that can detect heartbeat and respiration signals. The oscillator circuit incorporates a planar resonator, which functions as a series feedback element as well as a near-field radiator. The periodic movement of a human body during aerobic exercise could cause an input impedance variation of the radiator within near-field range. This variation results in a corresponding change in the oscillation frequency and this change has been utilized for the sensing of human vital signs. In addition, a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter and power detector have been used to increase the system sensitivity and to transform the frequency variation into a voltage waveform. The experimental results show that the proposed sensor placed 20 mm away from a human body can detect the vital signs very accurately.

Fretting, which is a special type of wear, is defined as small amplitude tangential oscillation along the contacting interface between two materials. In nuclear power plants, fretting wear caused by flow induced vibration (FIV) can make a serious problem in a U-tube bundle in steam generator. In this study, substructure method is developed and is verified the feasibility for the finite element model of fretting wear problems. This method is applied to the two-dimensional finite element analyses, which simulate the contact behavior of actual tube to support. For these examples, computing time can be reduced up to 1/5 in comparisons with conventional finite element analyses.

컨버터 제어를 위한 피크 전류 모드는 기존의 전류 모드 제어 기법에 비해 빠른 응답과 간단한 구조로 인해 많은 컨버터 애플리케이션에서 사용된다. 그러나 듀티가 0.5를 초과하면, 서브 하모닉 발진이 전류에서 발생한다. 이러한 현상을 방지하기 위해 제어기를 안정적으로 동작 할 수 있도록 보상 기울기를 추가 한다. 그러나 기울기 보상의 방법은 구조를 복잡하게 만들고 출력 전압이 가변적 일 때 때때로 기울기를 변화시켜야 하는 문제가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기울기 보상 없이 새로운 하이브리드 모드 전류 제어 방법을 제안한다. 밸리 전류 모드에서 트레일 링 에지 변조를 사용하는 제안 된 방법에서, 서브 하모닉 발진 문제는 쉽게 해결 될 수 있다. 제안 된 제어기는 Psim 시뮬레이션에 의해 검증된다.

A new small signal stability analysis method for eigenvalue analysis is presented. This method is called RCF method and based on the computation of the state transition equations and state transition matrix over a specified time interval that corresponds to one or some cycle operations of the system. This method is applicable to any system with or without switching elements. As an applicable example of RCF method in power system, the one machine infinite bus system connected switching SVC at generator terminal is investigated and the results proved that variations of oscillation modes after switching operations can be calculated exactly.

Phase noise in a phase-locked-loop (PLL) is unwanted and unavoidable. It is a main concern in oscillation system especially PLL. The phase noise is derived in term of power spectrum density by using a reliable phase noise model. There are four noise sources being considered in this paper, which are generated by reference oscillator, voltage controlled oscillator, filter, and main divider. The major concern for this paper is the noise from the filter. Two types of second order low pass filter are used in the PLL system. Applying the mathematical phase noise model, the output noises are compared. The total noise from the passive filter is lower than the active filter at the offset frequency range between 1 Hz to 33 kHz.

In this thesis, to verify input-output characteristics of GaAs MESFET, light is illuminated to C-band oscillator which already designed and manufactured, thus input-output variation of GaAs MESFET is to be shown. Experimental results of two kinds of optical effects, optical tuning and opticla switching, of GaAs MESFET Oscillators are presented. For optical tuning, the Oscillation frequency decreases with optical illumination and the Oscillator power output generally increases with optical illumination, the increase being around 1 to 3 dBm at 1mW/mm\ulcornerlight intensity. While the DC-lingt illuminated Oscillator response data provide information of the optical senditivity of GaAs-MESFET Oscillators. Pulse-light illuminated transient response data can be invoked to understand the detailed optical-electrical interaction mechanisms response. Thus, it is shown that direct control of micro-devices is realisable, if we use optical effect of GaAs semiconductor compound.

A model of a cable comprising interacting wires with dry friction forces at the interfaces is subjected to a quasi-static cyclic loading. The first cycle of this process, comprising of axial loading, unloading and reloading is investigated analytically. Explicit load-elongation relationships are obtained for all of the above phases of the cycle. An expression for the hysteretic losses is also obtained in an explicit form. It is shown that losses are proportional to the third power of the amplitude of the oscillating axial force, and are in inverse proportion to the interwire friction forces. The results obtained are used to introduce a model of a cable as a solid rod with an equivalent stiffness and damping properties of the rod material. It is shown that the stiffness of the equivalent rod is weakly nonlinear, whereas the viscous damping coefficient is proportional to the amplitude of the oscillation. Some numerical results illustrating the effect of cable parameters on the losses are given.

A phase-locked Channel-Substrate-Planar(CSP) laser arrays is described. Arrays of emitters with weak coupling are operated in a set of discrete modes determined by the number and spacing of the emitters. The interactions between emitters lead to a splitting of the wave-length and gain which are calculated from the coupling strength. Phase-locked arrays has exhibited to CW output-power as high as 80 m W and the highest order mode will have preferred oscillation. A strong hole burning is occurred at p=30m W. The most stable lasing mode is occurred at element spacing S=3.5\ulcornerm and there is no coupling at S>7 \ulcornerm.
