산업용 표준 센서 신호처리를 위해 다양한 입력신호를 5V 전압 출력으로 변환하는 새로운 디지털 계측 증폭기(DIA)를 설계하였다. 이 계측 증폭기는 상용의 계측증폭기, 7개의 아날로그 스위치, 2개의 1.0V와 -10.0V의 기준전압, 그리고 4개의 저항기로 구성된다. 신호 변환원리는 입력신호에 따라 저항기와 기준전압을 디지털적으로 선택하여 5V의 출력전압을 얻도록 회로 구성을 바꾸는 것이다. 시뮬레이션 결과 DIA는 0V~5V, 1V~5V, -10V~+10V, 그리고 4mA~20mA의 입력신호에 대하여 우수한 0~5V 출력전압 특성을 얻을 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 4가지 입력 신호에 대하여 비선형오차는 0.1%이하이다.

NDIR $CO_2$ gas sensor was built with ASIC implemented thermopile sensor which included temperature sensor and unique elliptical waveguide structures in this paper. The temperature dependency of dual infrared sensor module ($CO_2$ and reference IR sensors) has been characterized and its output voltage characteristics according to the temperature and gas concentration were proposed for the first time. NDIR $CO_2$ gas and reference IR sensors showed linear output voltages according to the variation of ambient temperatures from 243 K to 333 K and their slopes were 14.2 mV/K and 8.8 mV/K, respectively. The output voltages of temperature sensor also presented a linear dependency according to the ambient temperature and could be described with V(T)=-3.191+0.0148T(V). The output voltage ratio between $CO_2$ and reference IR sensors revealed irrelevant to the changes of ambient temperatures and gave a constant value around 1.6255 with standard deviation 0.008 at 0 ppm. The output voltage of $CO_2$ gas sensor at zero ppm $CO_2$ gas consisted of two components; one is caused by the HPB (half pass-band) of IR filter and the other is attributed to the part of $CO_2$ absorption wavelength. The characteristics of output voltages of $CO_2$ gas sensor could be accurately modeled with three parameters which are dependent upon the ambient temperatures and represented small average error less than 1.5% with 5% standard deviation.

정보화 시대의 사회로 발전하며 4차 산업혁명의 영향이 커짐에 따라 수많은 전자장비와 센서들이 산업 현장에서 사용되고 있다. 그에 따라 데이터 전송 과정에서 발생하는 신호처리의 중요성이 증가되었으며, 여러 가지 원인으로 발생하는 잡음의 제거와 센서 출력 안정화에 대한 기술이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 가속도 센서의 출력을 안정화하며 잡음 성분을 효과적으로 제거하기 위한 디지털 필터 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 출력의 안정화를 위해 우선 가우시안 계수를 적용하여 기준치를 구하였다. 그리고 센서 출력의 특성을 보존하기 위하여 분산에 따른 가중치를 기준치에 가감하여 최종 출력을 구한다. 제안한 알고리즘의 평가를 위해 기존의 방법들과 비교하였으며, 출력 특성을 통해 성능을 확인하였다.

This paper will suggest that the 1 cross orthogonal loop type sensor improves on the orthogonal loop form sensor-head, which is available a calibration of the linear birefringence, when a fiber optic current sensor was composed. An output characteristics of the 1 cross orthogonal loop form, a general closed loop form, the orthogonal loop form are compared by the IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission) 60044-8 standard, and the state of polarization is compared with three forms. As a result, when the closed loop form was changed to the orthogonal loop form, retardation decreased 15.3[%]. When the closed loop form was changed to the 1 cross orthogonal loop type, the retardation decreased 33.8[%]. As a result of the Faraday Effect measurement, the 1 cross orthogonal loop form has the highest output characteristic and the lowest error ratio. It met the 0.5 class of the IEC 60044-8 standard. Thus, in application of the 1cross orthogonal loop form, the possibility to develop high reliability fiber optic current sensors that have a high output and stable error ratio rises is increased.

In this paper, we propose a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) binary image sensor with a gate/body-tied (GBT) p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (PMOSFET)-type photodetector using a double-tail comparator for high-speed and low-power operations. The GBT photodetector is based on a PMOSFET tied with a floating gate (n+ polysilicon) and a body that amplifies the photocurrent generated by incident light. A double-tail comparator compares an input signal with a reference voltage and returns the output signal as either 0 or 1. The signal processing speed and power consumption of a double-tail comparator are superior over those of conventional comparator. Further, the use of a double-sampling circuit reduces the standard deviation of the output voltages. Therefore, the proposed CMOS binary image sensor using a double-tail comparator might have advantages, such as low power consumption and high signal processing speed. The proposed CMOS binary image sensor is designed and simulated using the standard 0.18 ㎛ CMOS process.

In this paper, a wide dynamic range active pixel sensor(APS) with output voltage feedback structure has been designed by a 2-poly 4-metal 0.35 $\mu$m standard CMOS technology. We presented a novel APS with output voltage feedback, which exhibits a wide dynamic range. The dynamic range increases at the cost of an additional diode and an additional MOSFET. The output voltage feedback structure enables the control of the output voltage level by itself, as incident light power varies. It is confirmed that the light level which the output voltage level of proposed APS is saturated is about 120,000 lux, which is higher than that of a conventional 3-transistor APS.

Optimal engine control is needed to cope with the global environmental regulations that are globally enforced. For optimum engine control, the electronic throttle control system (ETCS) is a prerequisite. Automotive makers are having an effect on reducing emissions and improving fuel economy by applying ETCS which is designed to secure stability. The ETCS controls the output of the throttle valve by passing the output value of the accelerator position sensor (APS) to the engine control unit (ECU). In this study, the authors investigated the safety standards of domestic and overseas accelerator control system and tried to understand how the air flow control affects the engine output by replacing the throttle. The authors suggest an improvement proposal of safety standard based on the result of driving evaluation by various modes.

본 논문에서는 몸체진동형 링레이저 자이로에서 몸체진동을 검출하기 위한 각속도 센서 출력을 V-F 변환하여 링레이저 출력에서 몸체진동에 의한 출력을 제거하는 dither-stripping 방법에 대하여 논의하였다. Dither-stripping에서는 V-F 출력펄스와 링레이저 출력펄스간의 환산계수를 산출하는 방법과 V-F 출력펄스의 offset를 보정해주는 방법이 중요하다. 각속도 센서의 출력을 V-F 변환하여 dither-stripping하는 경우에는 offset을 보정하는 과정에서 몸체진동의 진폭잡음에 의한 자이로 출력의 오차가 크게 발생한다. 우리는 V-F 출력펄스를 미분하여 offset을 제거하는 방법을 고안하였다. 이를 위해서는 각속도 센서의 출력을 90deg 위상 이동시켜서 각도신호를 만들고 V-F 변환해야 하며 링레이저 출력의 위상도 샘플링의 반주기만큼 이동시켜야 한다. 그리고 두 펄스간의 환산계수는 분산을 이용하여 산출하였다. 이러한 각도신호 미분방식의 dither-stripping에 의하여 개선된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

In this study, we present a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) binary image sensor. It can shoot an object rotating at a high-speed by using a gate/body-tied (GBT) p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (PMOSFET)-type photodetector. The GBT PMOSFET-type photodetector amplifies the photocurrent generated by light. Therefore, it is more sensitive than a standard N+/P-substrate photodetector. A binary operation is installed in a GBT PMOSFET-type photodetector with high-sensitivity characteristics, and the high-speed operation is verified by the output image. The binary operations circuit comprise a comparator and memory of 1- bit. Thus, the binary CMOS image sensor does not require an additional analog-to-digital converter. The binary CMOS image sensor is manufactured using a standard CMOS process, and its high- speed operation is verified experimentally.
