Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (${\mu}c$-Si:H) thin film for solar cells is prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition and physical properties of the ${\mu}c$-Si:H p-layer has been investigated. With respect to stable efficiency, this film is expected to surpass the performance of conventional amorphous silicon based solar cells and very soon be a close competitor to other thin film photovoltaic materials. Silicon in various structural forms has a direct effect on the efficiency of solar cell devices with different electron mobility and photon conversion. A Raman microscope is adopted to study the degree of crystallinity of Si film by analyzing the integrated intensity peaks at 480, 510 and $520\;cm^{-1}$, which corresponds to the amorphous phase (a-Si:H), microcrystalline (${\mu}c$-Si:H) and large crystals (c-Si), respectively. The crystal volume fraction is calculated from the ratio of the crystalline and the amorphous phase. The results are compared with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) for the determination of crystallinity factor. Optical properties such as refractive index, extinction coefficient, and band gap are studied with reflectance spectra.

This paper proposes a systematic design for a precoding codebook for a transmit-ing space-division multiple access (TN-SDMA) sharing spectrum with existing fixed wireless service (FWS). Based on an estimated direction angle of a victim FWS system, an interfering transmitter adaptively constructs a codebook, forming a transmit in the direction angle, while satisfying orthogonal beamforming constraints. Sum throughput results indicate that the throughput loss of TN-SDMA relative to a practical SDMA, called per user unitary and rate control ($PU^2RC$), is lower at larger number of transmission antennas, lower signal-to-noise ratio, or a smaller number of users. In particular, a small loss (12% throughput loss) is provided for practical system parameters. Spectrum sharing results confirm that TNSDMA efficiently shares spectrum with FWS systems by reducing protection distance to more than 66 %. Although a TN-SDMA system always has lower throughput compared to $PU^2RC$ in non-coexistence scenarios; it offers an intriguing opportunity to re-use a spectrum already allocated to an FWS.

In this paper, we deal with a surface discharge that caused an aggravation of the dielectric strength in the $N_2/O_2$ mixture gas, When composit dielectrics were formed from the use of a solid dielectric. It was found from this study that the surface discharge voltage was deeply involved in the mixture ratio of $O_2$, the electrical property of the solid dielectric, kind of the solid dielectric, an electric field at the triple junction and a medium effect. These results expect basic data that will be used to transmission and distribution power system equipment using the $N_2/O_2$ mixture gas.

In this study, we consider visible light communication in an indoor line-of-sight environment. It has been proved that among the multiple input multiple output (MIMO) techniques, spatial modulation (SM) performs better than repetition coding (RC) and spatial multiplexing (SMP). On the basis of a combination of SM and pulse amplitude modulation (PAM), here, we propose an enhanced SM algorithm to improve the bit error rate. Traditional SM activates only one light-emitting diode (LED) at one time, and the proposed enhanced SM activates two LEDs at one time and reduces the intensity levels of PAM by half. Under the condition of a highly correlated channel, power imbalance is used to improve the algorithm performance. The comparison between the two schemes is implemented at the same signal-to-noise ratio. The simulation results illustrate that the enhanced SM outperforms the traditional SM in both highly correlated and lowly correlated channels. Furthermore, the proposed enhanced SM scheme can increase the transmission rate in most cases.

The superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) can be used to limit fault current level in electrical transmission line and power system. Up to now, there are several kinds of SFCL that have proposed and it is expects that they will be applied to appropriated position considering their own properties; initial fault current limiting instant and the current limiting characteristics. In this paper, we investigated the initial fault current limiting instant and the amplitude of initial fault current in the resistive type, the flux-lock type, the flux-coupling type and the transformer type SFCL. Experiment results show that the initial fault current limiting instant and the amplitude of initial fault current of the SFCLs are dependant on the ratio of inductance of primary and secondary coils.

In this study we present a system for pulse-rate period detection and human sensibility evaluation based on the wireless medical telemetry service (WMTS) used for transmission of data from medical telemetry devices to various medical facilities and services. We develop a medical-purpose specific WMTS communication module to transmit biometric signals. From the pulse rate variability(PRV) signal, we attempt to classify positive and negative emotional states based on analysis of the ratio of LF/HF in the frequency domain. We measure the data reception rate according to distance in order to test the performance of the WMTS module and analyze the effects on human sensibility evaluation.

A novel circuit structure of dual-band bandstop filters is proposed in this paper. This structure comprises two shunt-connected tri-section stepped impedance resonators with a transmission line in between. Theoretical analysis from the equivalent circuit and design procedures are described. We represented graphs for filter design from the derived synthesis equations by resonance condition of circuits. Notably, advantages of the proposed filter structure are compact size in design, wide range of realizable resonance frequency ratio, and more realizable impedances.

This paper presents an accurate method for measuring the ground resistance in powered grounding system. Most of substations and electric power equipments are interconnected to an extensive grounding network of overhead ground wires, neutral conductors of transmission lines, cable shields, and etc. The parasitic effects due to circulating ground currents and ground potential rise make a significant error in measuring the ground resistance. The test current transition method was proposed to reduce the effects of stray ground currents, ground potential rise and harmonic components in measurements of the ground resistance for powered grounding systems. The instrumental error of the test current transition method is decreased as the ratio of the test current signal to noise(S/N) increases. It was found from the test results that the proposed measuring method of the ground resistance is more accurate than the conventional fall-of-potential method or low-pass filter method, and the measuring error was less than 3[%]when S/N is 10.
