고압 전원 장치(High Voltage Power Supply)는 근래에 와서 산업전반에 응용이 매우 광범위하게 확산되고 있고 고전압 장치가 필수적으로 이용 되어야 하는 분야가 점차 확산되고 있다. 응용분야로는 신소재 개발과 플라즈마 응용을 위한 공업용과 민생용, 의료기기용, 군사용, 또한 프린터에 이르기까지 다양하게 있다. 가정이나 사무실에서 쉽게 접할 수 있는 IT장비인 프린터인 경우에도 전원 공급 장치의 측면에서는 화상형성에 있어 가장 필수적인 안정적이고 다기능을 가지는 고압 전원장치를 적용하고 있고, 수요 또한 증가하고 있다. 본 논문은 낮은 입력 DC전압에서 높은 음의 DC전압을 출력하는 높은 전환 비의 극성 반전 형 DC/DC 전력 변환 회로에 관한 것으로써, 하나의 스위치, 하나의 인덕터, 그리고 다수개의 캐패시터와 다이오드로 구성된다. 기존의 극성 반전 형 DC/DC 컨버터 회로와 비교하여, 고압 변환 트랜스포머 대신에 인덕터를 사용할 수 있어, 자기 소자의 부피 및 크기는 물론 원가저감이 가능하다. 또한 반도체 소자의 Voltage Stress가 감소된다. 제안된 회로의 원리를 분석하고, 종래의 고압 전원장치와 비교함으로써 장점을 알아본 후, 동작원리에 대한 타당성을 Simulation 및 실험을 통하여 검증한다.

In this paper, we designed a frequency synthesizer using DDS (Direct Digital Synthesizer) for Ka-band compact Radar. DDS is applied to generate various waveform and to cover high-speed frequency sweep. In order to reduce size, waveform generator and Ka band frequency up-converter are integrated in one module. Proposed frequency synthesizer provides LFM(Linear Frequency Modulation) waveform and Phase modulated FMCW (Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave) waveform. It is observed that fabricated synthesizer performs $0.191{\mu}sec$ frequency switching time and -89.16 dBc/Hz phase noise at offset 1 kHz.

The key issues in high power, high energy applications such as electromagnetic launchers include safety, reliability, flexibility, efficiency, compactness, and cost. To explore some of the issues, a control scheme for a large current wave-forming was designed, built and experimentally verified using a 2.4MJ pulse power system (PPS). The PPS was made up of eight capacitors bank unit, each containing six capacitors connected in parallel. Therefore there were 48 capacitors in total, with ratings of 22kV and 50kJ each. Each unit is charged through a charging switch that is operated by air pressure. For discharging each unit has a triggered vacuum switch (TVS) with ratings of 200kA and 250kV. Hence, flexibility of a large current wave-forming can be obtained by controlling the charging voltage and the discharging times. The whole control system includes a personal computer(PC), RS232 and RS485 pseudo converter, electric/optical signal converters and eight 80C196KC micro-controller based capacitor-bank module(CBM) controllers. Hence, the PC based controller can set the capacitor charging voltages and the TVS trigger timings of each CBM controller for the current wave-forming. It also monitors and records the system status data. We illustrated that our control scheme was able to generate the large current pulse flexibly and safely by experiments. The our control scheme minimize the use of optical cables without reducing EMI noise immunity and reliability, this is resulting in cost reduction. Also, the reliability was increased by isolating ground doubly, it reduced drastically the interference of the large voltage pulse induced by the large current pulse. This paper contains the complete control scheme and details of each subsystem unit.

Exhaust emissions from vehicles are the main source of air pollution. Many researchers are trying to find the way of reducing vehicle emissions, especially in the cold transient period of the FTP-75 test. In this study, UEGI (Unburned Exhaust Gas Ignition) technology, warming up the close-coupled catalytic converter (CCC) by igniting the unburned exhaust mixture using two glow plugs installed in the upstream of the catalyst, was developed. It was applied to an exhaust system with a hydrocarbon adsorber to ensure an effective reduction of HC emission during the cold start period. Results showed that the CCC reaches the light-off temperature (LOT) in a shorter time compared with the baseline exhaust system, and HC and CO emissions are reduced significantly during the cold start.

In this paper, we presents the modeling and implementation of the DDS(Direct Digital synthesizer) driven offset PLL(Pghase Locked Loop) with DAC(Digital Analog Converter) for coarse tune. The PLL synthesizer was designed for minimizing the size and offset frequency and DDS technique was used for ultra low noise and fast lock up time, also DAC was used for coarse tune. The output phase noise was analyzed by superposition theory with the phase noise transfer function and noise source modeling. the phase noise prediction was evaluated by comparing with the measured data. The designed synthesizer has ultra fast lock time within 6 usec and ultra low phase noise performance of -120 dBc/Hz at 10KHz offset frequency.

In this paper, on-chp atomatic tuning circuit, using proposed integration level approximation technique, is designed to tuning of the variation of RC time-constant due to aging or temperature variation, etc. This circuit reduces the error, the difference between code values and real outputs of integrator, which is drawback of presented dual-slope tuning circuit and eliminates modulations of processing signals in integrated circuit due to fixed tuning codes during ordinary operation. This system is made up of simple integrator, A/D converter and digital control circuit and all capacitors are replaced by programed capacitor arrays in this system. This tuning circuit with 4 bit resolution achieves $-9.74{\sim}+9.68%$ of RC time constant error for 50% resistance variation.

SWRO-PRO hybrid desalination technology is recently getting more attention especially in large desalination markets such as USA, Middle East, Japan, Singapore, etc. because of its promising potential to recover a considerable amount of osmotic energy from brine (a high-concentration solution of salt, 60,000 - 80,000 mg/L) and also to minimize the impact of the discharged brine into a marine ecosystem. By the research and development of the core technologies of the SWRO-PRO desalination system in a national desalination research project (Global MVP) supported by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport (MOLIT) and Korea Agency for Infrastructure Technology Advancement (KAIA), it is anticipated that around 25% of total energy consumption rate (generally 3 to $4kWh/m^3$) of the SWRO desalination can be reduced by recovering the brine's osmotic energy utilizing wastewater treatment effluent as a PRO feed solution and an isobaric pressure exchanger (PX, ERI) as a PRO energy converter. However, there are still several challenges needed to be overcome in order to ultimately commercialize the novel SWRO-PRO process. They include system optimization and integration, development of efficient PRO membrane and module, development of PRO membrane fouling control technology, development of design and operation technology for the system scaling-up, development of diverse business models, and so on. In this paper, the current status and progress of the pilot study of the newly developed SWRO-PRO hybrid desalination technology is discussed.

This paper presents a micro air pump based on the synthetic jet to supply reactant at the cathode side for micro fuel cells. The synthetic jet is a zero mass flux device that converts electrical energy into the momentum. The synthetic jet actuation is usually generated by a traditional PZT-driven actuator, which consists of a small cylindrical cavity, orifices and PZT diaphragms. Therefore, it is very important that the design parameters are optimized because of the simple configuration. To design the synthetic jet micro air pump, a numerical analysis has been conducted for flow characteristics with respect to various geometries. From results of numerical analysis, the micro air pump has been fabricated by the PDMS replication process. The most important design factors of the micro air pump in micro fuel cells are the small size and low power consumption. To satisfy the design targets, we used SP4423 micro chip that is high voltage output DC-AC converter to control the PZT. The SP4423 micro chips can operate from $2.2{\sim}6V$ power supply(or battery) and is capable of supplying up to 200V signals. So it is possible to make small size controller and low power consumption under 0.1W. The size of micro air pump was $16{\times}13{\times}3mm^3$ and the performance test was conducted. With a voltage of 3V at 800Hz, the air pump's flow rate was 2.4cc/min and its power consumption was only 0.15W.
