In this paper, we propose a new switch structure for time division duplex(TDD) system. The existing TDD structure utilizes a circulator fur isolation characteristic between ports. However, the circulator produces intermodulation distortion signals which are undesired signal because of its nonlinear properties. The proposed circuit is composed of a modified branch-line hybrid coupler which controls the signal flow while the isolated port is open-/short- terminated. In order to prove the validity of the presented structure, the switch circuit is fabricated and measured at 2.3GHz, the center frequency of Wibro service system.

포항가속기연구소가 추진 중인 제4세대 방사광가속기에는 100 PPM급의 클라이스트론 펄스전압 안정도가 요구된다. 이러한 안정도는 PFN(pulse forming network)에 충전되는 전압을 얼마나 정밀하게 제어하는가에 따라서 결정된다. PFN의 최종운전 전압은 deQing circuit에 triggering되는 시점에 따라서 결정된다. DeQing trigger system은 PFN의 충전전압과 기준전압을 비교하여 충전전압이 기준전압보다 커지는 시점에서 charging choke(충전 쵸크)의 2차에 구성된 deQing 회로의 SCR를 트리거 시켜서 충전 쵸크 1차와 2차의 권선비율이 25:1인 충전 쵸크의 2차를 단락시켜 1차에 흐르는 전류를 2차로 빼주어서 PFN 커패시터에 더 이상 충전되지 않게 하는 구조로 되어있다. DeQing circuit에 triggering되는 시점을 정밀하게 제어하기 위하여 PFN 충전전압을 미분하여 그 출력전압에 비례하여 트리거 출력을 지연시키는 기능과 analog 신호를 digital 신호로 변환하는 기능을 사용하였다. 이 논문에서는 deQing 시스템에 관련된 회로 및 시험결과에 대하여 설명하고자 한다.

본 논문에서는 PV Simulator의 운전시 기존 방식에 비해 성능이 우수한 PV Cell Modeling 알고리즘을 제안한다. PV Simulator가 PV Cell의 비선형적인 I-V 특성을 구현하기 위해서는 제조사가 제공하는 3가지 운전점(단락회로운전, 개방회로운전 및 최대전력운전)에서의 전압, 전류 데이터를 이용하여 빠르고 정확하게 PV Cell 등가회로의 파라메터 값을 추출하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 방정식 근을 비교하는 방식을 이용하여 기존 방식에 비해 실리콘-결정형 및 박막형 셀을 포괄하는 빠르고 정확한 등가회로 파라메터 추출방법을 제시하고, 제안한 모델링 방법에 대한 유효성을 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

This is an experimental study to analyze the explosion and fire hazards of mobile phone batteries. Using the lithium-ion batteries currently used on smart phone as the experiment samples, the experiments were conducted by overcharging, internal and external short circuit, and thermal shock with the potential of explosion and fire caused by careless use or abnormal conditions. The experiment results showed that, in the case of overcharging and external short circuit, there was no explosion and fire hazard in the normal operation of the protection circuit module (PCM), but there were big risks when the PCM faulted conditions were assumed. In the case of the experiments by internal short circuit and thermal shock, such risks varied depending on a battery charge state. In other words, it could be verified that there were low risks of explosion and fire in a full discharge state, but there were high risks in a full charge state. These experiment results suggest that to minimize the explosion and fire hazards of mobile phone batteries, an alarm device is necessary when the PCM fault occurs. In addition, a solid battery case should be made and safety equipment, such as a cooling device to avoid high temperature, is needed.

Chua's circuit is a simple electronic network which exhibits a variety of bifurcation and attractors. The circuit consists of two capacitors, a linear resistor, and a nonlinear resistor. In this papre we analyze a circuit obtained by replacing the parallel LC resonator in the Chua's circuit by lossless transmission line. By using the method of characteristics of this circuit we show that various periodic motions and chaotic motions can the attained according to parameter variations. From Chua's circuit with a lossless transmission line a variely of chaotic attractors which are similar to those of the normal Chua's circuit are observed.

It is well-known that Boron-doped Cz Si solar cells suffer light-induced degradation due to boron-oxygen defect which is responsible of a reduction in lifetime and hence efficiency. In this paper, we assume that PV solar cell has been connected with variable load to account the real operating condition and it shows different light-induced degradation of Si solar cell. To evaluate the effect of light-induced degradation for solar cell with various load, Single crystalline solar cells are connected with open and short circuits during light exposure. Isc-Voc curve evaluate light induced degradation of solar cells and the reason is explained as a change for serial resistance. From the results, Electrical characteristics of solar cells show better performance under short circuit conditions, after light exposure.

This paper presents an equivalent circuit of the hairpin line filter for accurate analysis and design. Its validity was verified by computer simulations and filter design experiments. Though the various design equations for a hairpin line filter have been proposed, there has not been a practically simplified equivalent circuit because it is hard to effectively represent interconnection effects between non-adjacent elements. In this paper, all the open ports of the hairpin line filter circuit are changed to the short ports using circuit duality, and the resulting circuits are transformed to graph model. The further simplified circuit model is obtained from boundary conditions, and then the final equivalent circuit of the hairpin line filter is derived in a dual structure of the filter.

In this paper a space search technique is used to detect and locate the faults of the circuit interconnections. The circuit interconnections are represented by the tree structure and the tree space is searched to detect and locate the open faults of the circuit interconnections. The breadth search is used to detect the open faults and reduce the space size. The depth search is used to locate the open faults.

본 연구에서는 전자 주개 물질(electron donor)인 regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT)와 전자 받개 물질(electron acceptor)인 phenyl-$C_{61}$-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)을 혼합한 복합 박막 구조(Bulk Heterojunction)를 이용하여 태양전지를 제작하고 광활성층(Active layer)의 두께를 변화시키면서 광학적 특성 및 전기적 특성에 대해 분석하였다. 광활성층의 두께가 두꺼워 질수록 광흡수율이 높기 때문에 태양전지의 효율이 증가하여 200nm정도의 두께에서 가장 좋은 특성을 보였으며, 그 이상의 두께에서는 광흡수율이 높더라도 직렬저항(Series resistance)의 증가로 개방 회로 전압이 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있었으며, 최적화된 광활성층의 두께(190nm)에서 개방 회로 전압($V_{oc}$)은 0.6V, 단락 회로 전류($J_{sc}$)는 8.29mA, Fill factor(FF)는 0.59, 전력변환효율($\eta$)은 2.94%였다.

Some closed-form expressions for circuit parameters are derived based on the equivalent circuits for the resonant MTM-TL(open and short). The lumped series resistance and shunt conductance, which explain radiation effects of a unit cell may be found by |$S_{11}$|(simulated or measured) with open and short terminations, respectively. The EM-simulated results, circuit-simulated results(obtained using extracted circuit parameters) and measurement results are shown to be in good agreement.
