A digital controller can simply realize a complex operation algorithm and power control process which can not be applied by an analog circuit for a solar array regulator(SAR). The digital resistive control(DRC) makes an equivalent input impedance of the SAR be resistive characteristic. The resistance of the solar array varies largely in a voltage source region and slightly in a current source region. Therefore when the solar array regulator is controlled by the DRC, the Advanced Incremental Conductance MPPT Algorithm with a Variable Step Size(AIC-MPPT-VSS) is suitable. The AIC-MPPT-VSS, however, using small signal resistance and large signal resistance of the solar array can not limit the absolute value of the solar array power. In this paper, the solar array power limiter is suggested and the BUCK-BOOST type SAR which is fully controlled by the digital controller is verified by simulation.

A design and implementation method for the UHF-band(800MHz) variable attenuator using the 3dB coupler is proposed. The 90 degree, 3-dB Coupler is used for the variable attenuator. The principal theory for the 3-dB coupler is introduced. The 3-dB Coupler is designed by the mathematical analysis and a computer simulation tool. A PIN diode is used for the variable resistor at UHF-band. The variable attenuator using the 3-dB coupler and the PIN diode is designed and implemented. The measured results for the variable attenuator by a network analyzer show that the insertion loss is below -l0dB, and the continuous variable attenuation range is about 10dB.

A butterfly throttle valve has been used to control the brake power of an SI engine by controlling the mass flow-rate of intake air in the induction system. However, the valve has a serious effect on the volumetric efficiency of the engine due to the pressure resistance in the induction system. In this study, a new intake air controlling valve named "Variable Geometry Throttle Valve(VGTV)" is proposed to minimize the pressure resistance in the intake system of an SI engine. The design concept of VGTV is on the application of a venturi nozzle in the air flow path. Instead of change of the butterfly valve angle in the airflow field, the throat width of the VGTV valve is varied with the operating condition of an SI engine. In this numerical study, CFD(computational fluid dynamics) simulation technique was incorporated to have an aerodynamics performance analysis of the two air flow controlling systems; butterfly valve and VGTV and compared the results to know which system has lower pressure resistance in the air intake system. From the result, it was found that VGTV has lower pressure resistance than the butterfly valve. Especially VGTV is effective on the low and medium load operating condition of an SI engine. The averaged pressure resistance of VGTV is about 49.0% lower than the value of the conventional butterfly throttle valve.

A previous adapter have a single-ouput, however, a demand of a multi-output adapter increase in the recent industrial site. In order to satisfy the demand, in this research, we implement a programmable high efficiency multi-output adapter. The basic structure of the adapter introduced in this paper is a sort of flyback. The way for producing the reference voltage of the adapter proposed is similar to the way in the general flyback implemented with TL431. In addition to the basic concept of the design, however, we introduce a digital variable resistor, AD5246BKSZ10-RL7 and a microcontroller for changing a programmable multi-output. It makes output be variable that the digital variable resistor change the reference voltage of the adapter by order of the microcontroller. The adapter output voltage is controllable in the range of 20V by the user, and the power efficiency is proven to be 85%.

AZO 박막 증착에 있어 증착변수간의 상관관계에 대한 연구가 미비하였는데 이번 실험에서는 증착조건 변수 중에서 DC 파워와 온도가 박막성장의 영향과 이들의 상관관계에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 3mtorr의 압력과 150, $230^{\circ}C$의 온도를 각각 가변하는 것과 함께 파워를 1~5 kW까지 가변하였다. $150^{\circ}C$에서 파워를 증가하면 투과도는 향상되나 XRD에서의 상대적 크기는 오히려 감소한 것을 관찰하였다. 하지만 $230^{\circ}C$에서 파워를 증가하면 오히려 투과도가 감소하였다. 위 실험을 통해서 파워가 증가함에 따라 $150^{\circ}C$의 낮은 온도에서 상대적으로 입자의 가속에너지 및 충돌 에너지가 급격히 증가하여 Zn나 Al에 비해 O원자의 물리적 충돌이 늘어남으로써 남은 금속 원자들이 증착되어 투과도 감소와 함께 비저항 증가로 이어졌다. 그러나 $230^{\circ}C$의 상대적으로 높은 온도에서 파워를 가변 하였을 경우, 오히려 O원자의 잦은 충돌과 함께 산소원자의 부족으로 인해 투과도가 감소하며 박막성장을 하는데 있어 결정크기가 오히려 감소하여 비저항을 증가한 것을 알 수 있었다. 이로써 적절한 파워와 온도가 압력과 온도의 상관관계 못지않게 중요한 공정변수가 되며, 박막의 품질을 높이는데 상당한 기여를 하는 것을 확인하였다.

기존 자가발전 운동기구의 경우, 가변저항을 사용하여 운동강도를 조절하기 때문에 Generator에서 생성된 에너지가 모두 소모되는 문제점이 있다. 또한 계통연계형 자가발전 운동기구의 경우에는 에너지 회수는 가능하지만 운동 강도 조절이 불가능한 단점이 존재한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 계통연계를 통해 에너지 회수가 가능하고, 운동 강도 조절이 가능한 자가발전 운동기구용 DC/DC 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안회로는 가변저항을 사용하지 않고 입력임피던스를 통해 운동 강도를 조절하기 때문에 높은 에너지를 생성할 수 있고 계통연계를 통해 에너지 회수도 가능한 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 회로의 이론적 특성을 분석하고 모의실험을 통해 확인하였으며, 계통연계형 자가발전 운동기구에 적용하여 실험을 통해 우수성을 검증하였다.

Variable temperature anemometer(VTA) has greater sensitivity than a conventional constant temperature anemometer(CTA). In order to design a reliable VTA system, however, an elaborate photoconductive cell stabilizing circuit which plays a key role in setting wire-overheat ratio should be firstly developed. In this study, a stabilizing circuit which adopts proportional-integral analog controller was proposed and thoroughly tested for its accuracy and reproducibility. In contrast to the available circuit suggested by Takagi, the present circuit has characteristic that the resistance of a photoconductive cell increases with the increase of input voltage, which makes the current circuit very suitable for the design of VTA. Finally, VTA adopting stabilizing circuit was made and the enhanced sensitivity of the VTA was validated experimentally by comparing the calibration curves of VTA and CTA.

In this paper, the output voltage of a photodetector is stabilized using a digital potentiometer, to reduce the voltage variation when the detector position deviates from the center of the signal beam. The capture distance is calculated, and stabilization performance is observed through experiments. This scheme is very useful to reduce the output voltage variations due to the small change of the optical signal power, beam direction, and the detector position.
