The research topic of super-RENS technology is shifting from the signal intensity (CNR; Carrier to Noise Ratio) to the signal uniformity (Jitter or bER). To achieve an uniform signal characteristics, it is important to reduce signal fluctuation in a super-RENS disc. In this study, we investigated the relation between signal fluctuation and low frequency noise (LFN), and analyzed LFN increase in recording and readout processes. It was found that signal fluctuation had a close relationship with the LFN. Also, it was found that the recorded mark shape such a bubble type and high readout power increased the LFN in recording and readout process of a super-RENS disc. So, using non-bubble type recording material and low super-resolution readout material, we markedly improved the LFN in a super-RENS disc.

A readout circuit for a tactile sensor pad based on force sensing resistors was proposed, which was composed of an analog signal conditioning circuit and a digital circuit with a microcontroller. The conventional signal conditioning circuit has a dc offset voltage in the output signal, which results from the reference voltage applied to the FSR devices. The offset voltage reduces the dynamic range of the circuit and makes it difficult to operate the circuit under a low voltage power supply. In the proposed signal conditioning circuit, the dc offset voltage was removed completely. The microcontroller with A/D converter and D/A converter was used to enlarge the measurement range of pressure. For this, the microcontroller adjusts the FSR reference voltage according to the resistance magnitude of FSR under pressure. The operation of the proposed readout circuit which was connected to a tactile sensor pad with $5{\times}10$ FSR array was verified experimentally. The experimental results show the proposed readout circuit has the wider measurement range of pressure than the conventional circuit. The proposed circuit is suitable for low voltage and low power applications.

도메인 확장형 광자기 디스크 시스템(magnetic amplifing magnetooptical system; MAMMOS)의 기록마크 시뮬레이션을 위한 온도분포와 재생신호를 연구하였다. 정지된 디스크에서 레이저 빔에 의한 기록층과 이웃하는 층들의 온도 분포를 계산하였으며, 마크 크기와 길이 및 위치를 계산하였다. 또한 마크 모양에 따른 재생신호의 크기, 기록층에 기록되는 마크의 재생신호 및 판독층에서 확대된 재생신호를 시뮬레이션 하였다. 간소화된 열전달 특성 모델을 계산함으로써, 기록층과 인접한 층에서의 온도분포를 시간의 함수로 계산하였다. 마크 크기는 디스크가 회전할 때 기록 빔 펄스 파형에 의한 온도분포로부터 계산하였으며, 기록빔 펄스 파형으로부터 디스크의 온도분포를 이용하여 마크의 길이와 위치를 계산하였다. 재생신호는 디스크의 반사도 패턴과 가우시안 빔의 컨볼루션 연산을 이용하여 계산하였다. 판독층에서 빔 크기만큼 확대된 도메인의 재생신호가 기록층에서의 초승달 모양 마크에 기한 재생신호보다 2배 이상 증가되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The end-to-end rate-based control mechanism is used for the flow control of the ABR service to allow much more flexibility in ATM switching system. To accommodate the ABR service effciently many algorithms such as EFCI, EPRCA, ERICA, and CAPC2 have been proposed for the switch algorithm. ABR cells and related RM cells are received at the ATM switch fabric transparently without any processing. And then cells received from the traffic source are queued in the ABR buffer of switching system. The ABR buffer usually has some thresholds for easy congestion control signal transmission. Whatever we use, therefore, these can be many ABR traffic control algorithms to implement the ABR transfer capability. The genertion of congestion indicate signal for ABR control algorithms is determined by ABR buffer satus. And ABR buffer status is determined by ABR cells transfer ratio in ATM switch fabrics. In this paper, we presented the functional structures for control of the ABR traffic capability, proposed the readout scheduling, cell slot allocation of output link and the buffer allocation model for effective ABR traffic guranteeing with considering CBR/VBR traffics in ATM switch. Since the proposed readout scheduling scheme can provide more avaliable space to ABR buffer than existing readout scheduling scheme, generation rate of a SEND signal, that is, BCN signal in destination node can be increased for ABR call connection. Therefore, the proposed scheme, in this paper, can be appropriate as algorithm for effective ABR traffic service on output link of ATM switching node.

광자기 디스크 드라이브의 광학계로부터 검출 신호와 잡음을 시뮬레이션하는 방법을 연구하였다. 기록된 표식과 입사되는 레이저 빔 형태를 간단한 모델을 사용하여 기술하고 각각을 이산화시켜 재생 신호의 크기와 파형을 시륨레이션 하였다. 이렇게 시뮬레이션된 재생 신호에 Gaussian 램덤 잡음을 부가하고 일차원 이산 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) 알고리즘을 수행하여 신호와 잡음 스펙트럼을 추정하였다. 또한 이로부터 CNR(Carrier to Noise Ratio) 값을 구하였다.

고밀도 기록매체인 DVD RAM 시스템에서 단면 기록밀도 4.7 GB, 15 GB 매체 개발 실현에 가장 큰 걸림돌로 작용하고 있는 crosserase 및 crosstalk 현상이 재생 신호에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 4.7 GB 및 15 GB 규격으로 재생 신호를 시뮬레이션 하였다. 디스크에 조사된 빔의 강도는 Gaussian으로 근사화하고 기록된 마크는 타원형 마크로 가정하였으며, 재생신호는 Gaussian 빔 패턴과 마크 패턴의 이중 적분으로 계산되었다. Crosserase 정도를 변하여 얻어진 재생 신호로부터 주파수 분석을 통하여 3T-11T 마크의 carrier level의 크기를 구하여 비교하였다. 1,000개의 3T-11T 랜덤 마크로 부터 crosserase 및 crosstalk 에 의한 지터를 계산하여 비교한 결과, crosserase에 의한 지터가 crosstalk에 의한 지터 보다 상대적으로 작음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Silicon PIN diode radiation sensors and CMOS readout circuits were designed and fabricated in this study. The PIN diodes were fabricated using a 380-${\mu}m$-thick 4-inch n+ Si (111) wafer containing a $2-k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ n- thin epitaxial layer. CMOS readout circuits employed the driving and signal processes in a radiation sensor were mixed with digital logic and analog input circuits. The primary functions of readout circuits are amplification of sensor signals and the generation of the alarm signals when radiation events occur. The radiation sensors and CMOS readout circuits were fabricated in the Institute of Semiconductor Fusion Technology (ISFT) semiconductor fabrication facilities located in Kyungpook National University. The performance of the readout circuit combined with the Si PIN diode sensor was demonstrated.

Time-of-flight (TOF) PET detectors with fast-rise-time scintillators and fast-single photon time resolution silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) have been developed to improve the coincidence timing resolution (CTR) to sub-100 ps. The CTR can be further improved with an optimal bandwidth and minimized electronic noise in the readout circuit and this helps reduce the distortion of the fast signals generated from the TOF-PET detector. The purpose of this study was to develop an ultra-high frequency and fully-differential (UF-FD) readout circuit that minimizes distortion in the fast signals produced using TOF-PET detectors, and suppresses the impact of the electronic noise generated from the detector and front-end readout circuits. The proposed UF-FD readout circuit is composed of two differential amplifiers (time) and a current feedback operational amplifier (energy). The ultra-high frequency differential (7 GHz) amplifiers can reduce the common ground noise in the fully-differential mode and minimize the distortion in the fast signal. The CTR and energy resolution were measured to evaluate the performance of the UF-FD readout circuit. These results were compared with those obtained from a high-frequency and single ended readout circuit. The experiment results indicated that the UF-FD readout circuit proposed in this study could substantially improve the best achievable CTR of TOF-PET detectors.

Characteristics of an active pixel switch readout circuit were studied by SPICE simulation. A simple readout circuit consists of an operation amplifier, a diode, and a down-counter was suggested, and its successful operation was verified by showing that the differences in the detected signal intensity are accordingly converted to modulation of the voltage pulses generated by the comparator. A scheme to use these pulses to generate the original image was also put forward.
