Ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) detection method has been widely used as a front end detection scheme for the ultra-high frequency (UHF) partial discharge (PD) monitoring systems. A broad-band video detector module was developed and characterized for the UHF UWB PD detection systems. The useable bandwidth of the module is more than 2 GHz and it is optimized for 50-ohm systems. The detection sensitivity and dynamic range of the module were characterized by using a known ns-width RF pulses of GHz range. The dynamic range is more than 6-decades and the module can detect pulsed RF signals down to 1 nW. The detector module can eliminate expensive equipment such as high speed oscilloscopes and radio frequency (RF) spectrum analyzers. Therefore, it enables one to use slow speed data acquisition systems for the PD monitoring at the UHF range. The detector module was used to detect real PDs of about <3 pC. The module converts the UWB PD signals into a low-bandwidth video signal with a high signal-to-noise ratio.

Quick-Response Liquid Powder Display ($QR-LPD^{(R)}$) is a promising device for ultra-low-power applications. Several driving methods for this display were investigated in terms of image quality and power consumption. The power consumed both in a panel and in the output circuits of driver LSIs was evaluated by analog circuit simulation and discussed.

The neutral beam injection generate ultra-high temperature energy in the tokamak of nuclear fusion. The neutral beam injection make up arc power supply, filament power supply and acceleration & deceleration power supply. The arc power supply has characteristics of low voltage and high current. Arc power supply generate arc through constant output of voltage and current. So this paper proposed suitable buck converter for low voltage and high current. The proposed buck converter used parallel switch because it can be increased capacity and decrease conduction loss. When an arc generated, the neutral beam injection chamber occur high voltage. And it will break output capacitor of buck converter. Therefore the output capacitor was removed in the proposed converter. Thus the proposed converter should be designed for the characteristics of low voltage and high current. Also, the arc power supply should be guaranteed for system stability. The proposed parallel buck converter enables the system stability of the divided low output voltage and high current. The proposed converter with constant output be the most important design of the output inductor. In this paper, designed arc power supply verified operation of system and stability through simulation and prototype. After it is applied to the 288[kW] arc power supply for neutral beam injection.

최근 전자기기의 소형화, 인텔리전트화, 다기능화, 광대역화에 관심이 집중되어 많은 발전이 이루어졌으며, 이들 전자기기들에 이용되는 모듈형의 전원장치 (SMPS : Switching-mode power supply)도 소형화, 경량화, 고효율화, 고신뢰성화, 저노이즈화를 실현하고 있다. 85~265 볼트교류전압(VAC : Voltage alternating current) 상용 전원을 공급받아 DC 출력을 공급하는 전원장치인 파워모듈은 마이크로컨트롤러, 릴레이 등 전기, 전자 회로용 전원 공급기를 간단하고 쉽게 설계하도록 개발되고 있다. 이 모듈은 전원을 사용하는 장비에 광범위하게 적용할 수 있어 에너지 절감이라는 세계적인 대과제에 적합한 제품이기는 하나 제품의 품질과 성능에 대한 통계적분석이 필요한 바 적용제품의 부하별, 출력전압별 성능분석을 하여 그 문제점을 찾아보려고 한다.

The IEEE 802.15.4a specification targets the low-rate (LR) Impulse-radio (IR) ultra-wideband (UWB) system which is now widely applied in the WPANs considering rather short distance communications with low complexity and power consumption. The physical (PHY) layer uses concatenated coding with mixed binary phase-shift keying and binary pulse-position modulation (BPSK-BPPM), and direct sequence spreading with time hopping in order that both coherent and non-coherent receiver architectures are supported. In this paper, the performances of multiple access schemes compliant with IEEE 802.15.4a specification are investigated with energy detection receiver, which allow avoiding the complex channel estimation needed by a coherent receiver. However, the performance of energy detection receiver is severely degraded by multi-user interference (MUI), which largely diminishes one of the most fascinating advantages of UWB, namely robustness to MUI as well as the possibility to allow parallel transmissions. So as to improve the performance of multiple access schemes, we propose to apply the novel TH sequences as well as to increase the number of TH positions. The simulation results show that our novel multiple access schemes significantly improve the performance against MUI.

본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크 응용을 위한 저복잡도, 저전력 초광대역 임펄스 통신용 베이스밴드의 구조를 제안하고 TSMC 0.18um CMOS 공정을 이용하여 칩으로 제작하였다. 제안된 베이스밴드는 간략화된 패킷구조와, single-bit 샘플러의 사용 및 순수한 디지털 회로를 이용한 동기방식을 적용하여 시스템의 복잡도를 크게 낮추었다. 또한 저전력 구현을 위하여 베이스밴드의 동작상태를 세 가지로 정의하고 각 상태에 따라 필요한 블록만이 작동되도록 하였으며, 아울러 로직 합성단계에서 gated clock cell을 사용하여 소비전력을 더욱 낮추었다. 제안된 베이스밴드는 2Kbyte의 내부메모리와 약 23K의 디지털 게이트로 구성되며 약 1.8mW@1Mbps의 저전력으로 동작한다. 제작된 베이스밴드 칩의 검증을 위하여 간단한 MAC 프로토콜이 구현된 저전력 프로세서를 이용하여 센서 노드를 구성하고, 다중 센서 노드환경에서 성공적으로 동작함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we design a modem SoC (System on Chip) for low power consumption and high speed wireless communications. Among various schemes of high speed communications, an MB-OFDM (Multi Band-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) UWB (Ultra-Wide-Band) chip is designed. The MB-OFDM uses wide-band frequency to provide high speed data rate. Additionally, the system imposes no interference to other services. The 90nm CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) technology is used for the SoC design. Especially, power management mode is implemented to reduce the power consumption.

Request oriented sensor networks have stricter requirements than conventional event-driven or periodic report models. Therefore, in this paper we propose a minimum energy data aggregation (MEDA), which meets the requirements for request oriented sensor networks by exploiting a low power real-time scheduler, on-demand time synchronization, variable response frame structure, and adaptive retransmission. In addition we introduce a test bed consisting of a number of MEDA prototypes, which support near real-time bidirectional sensor networks. The experimental results also demonstrate that the MEDA guarantees deterministic aggregation time, enables minimum energy operation, and provides a reliable data aggregation service.

In this paper, we introduce SlimSRP, an ultra-low-power digital signal processor (DSP) solution for mobile audio and voice applications. So far, application processors (APs) have taken charge of all the tasks in mobile devices. However, they have suffered from short battery life problems to deal with complex usage scenarios, such as always-on voice trigger with continuous audio playback. From extensive analysis of audio and voice application characteristics, SlimSRP is designed to relive the performance and power burden of APs. It employs three-issue VLIW architecture, and the major low-power and high-performance techniques include: (1) an optimized register-file architecture friendly for constants generation, (2) a powerful instruction set to reduce the number of register file accesses and (3) a unique instruction compression scheme that contributes to saved memory size and reduced cache miss. An implementation of SlimSRP runs at up to 200MHz and the logic occupies 95K NAND2 gates in Samsung 28LPP process. The experimental results demonstrate that a MP3 decoder application with a 128kbps 44.1kHz input can run at 5.1MHz and the logic consumes only 22uW/MHz.
