To reach high areal density, less track pitch is expected and more servo bandwidth is required. One approach to overcoming the problem is by using dual stage servo system. For this system. we have suggested new milliactuator based on the shear mode of piezoelectric elements to drive the head suspension assembly. In this paper, we introduce milliactuator and controller design method, PQ method. PQ method reduces the controller design problem for DISO (dual-input/single-output) systems to two standard controller design problems for SISO ( single-input/single-output) problems. The first part of PQ method directly addresses the issue of actuator output contribution, and the second part allows the use of traditional loop shaping to achieve the overall system performance. This paper shows how to employ the PQ method to meet aggressive close-loop performance specifications for a disk drive system with a VCM and piezoelectric milliactuator.

This paper proposes a novel BPF structure with less insertion loss and small size instead of the existing coupled line BPF for the output of the tripler using APDP (Anti-Parallel Diode Pair). This proposed BPF consists of the interdigital capacitor and spiral open stub. The proposed BPF has the insertion loss of less than 0.7dB within the band $(16.41{\sim}19.23GHz)$. The conversion loss of the tripler is about $16.6{\sim}18.5dB$ $(flatness<{\pm}1dB)$ at $5.72{\sim}6.28GHz$ of fundamental frequency. Its fundamental frequency and the fifth harmonic suppression characteristic at 6GHz are -32.16dBc and -44.6dBc, respectively And its phase noise attenuation characteristic is about 9.5dB at 100kHz.

This paper presents a new design method of the Ultra-Wide-Band BandPass Filter using the CRLH-TL(Composite Right- and Left-Handed Transmission-line) having the Metamaterials' properties. Instead of the periodic type or many cells of the CRLH-TL, only the unit cell is used to miniaturize the target component, which can not be realized by the conventional quarter guided-wavelength resonator-based filters. Particularly, the strong coupling essential to the Ultra Wide Band is enabled by the interdigital coupled lines between the grounded stubs. The proposed design scheme is validated by the electromagnetic simulation and measurement of the fabricated filter which shows the total size of 'the guided-wavelength/9.4', the 100 % fractional bandwidth for the UWB, the insertion loss of less than 1 dB and the flat group-delay.

In this study, a simulation investigation was conducted on the method of reducing switching noise and spurious emission among design methods for step-down DC-DC converter modules for automotive. A typical 4-layer converter circuit using a PMIC(Power Management Integrated Circuit) chip was presented, and the simulation results of conductive emissions at two input terminals (+, -) and the point between the input filter and the PMIC was performed in the 1.0~5.0MHz band and the 100MHz band. The results for the conducted and radiated emissions in the HF(3~30MHz) and VHF(30-300MHz) bands were presented. It showed an improvement of about 10dB over the bands by routing the output terminal placed on the 3 or 4-layer in the opposite direction to the input terminal. The result of this study is expected to be useful in the design of the DC-DC converter modules in the future because it gives a better improvement compared to the existing methods.

The mechanism of silicon incorporation has been analyzed for the boat-grown GaAs crystals on the basis of phase equilibrium in the Ga and As system. Comparison was made between silicon concentrations calculated from the thermodynamics of incorporation reaction and carrier concentrations measured from van der Pauw method. For the 1-T HB(single temperature zone horizontal Bridgman) crystals, calculated concentrations were 5.3 ×10 15 (atoms/cm3), measured as 9.8 ×10 15(/cm3) at the seed part. They were calculated to be 1.1 ×10 16(atoms/cm3) and measured as 1.5 ×10 16(/cm3) for the 2-T(double temperature zone) HB crystals. On the other hand, it was found to be closer between the calculated and measured silicon concentrations for the VGF(vertical gradient freeze) crystals, which were grown within half the run time compared with 1-T or 2-T HB method.

UWB radio systems have drawn attention during the last few years. These systems are the core technique for ubiquitous home and enable to co-exist with other narrow band systems over the same frequency without interfering them. But UWB signals have a very low power per pulse, so they are affected by strong narrow band interferences. Specially, IEEE 802.11a systems which operate around 5GHz overlap the band of UWB signals and they will interfere with UWB systems significantly. In this paper, we propose a novel narrow band interference suppression method based on singular value decomposition(SVD) algorithm for DS-UWB in IEEE 802.15.4a channel model. The proposed method is very effective and robust for both a single user DS-UWB system and a multiuser DS-UWB system to reduce the narrow band interference.

A RF limiter is a component to protect the receiver front end from undesired signal. A RF limiter is a key component whose output is constant level for all inputs above a critical value. A RF limiter use a diode to pass signals of low power while attenuating those above some threshold. A RF limiter for receiver protection in modern radar systems is playing a vital role in order to meet challenges of new interference threats and complicated electromagnetic environments. This paper proposed a new circuit for high power RF limiter whose structure is the combination of the PIN diode and Limit diode. PIN diode take a use of its isolation characteristics which act as a switch does. A 2 kW RF limiter with 200 us pulse width at S-band was developed. It shows good agreements between estimated value and measured results.

In this paper, 30 W power Amplifier for IMT-2000 repeater was developed gain flatness and the third IMD (Intermodulation distortion) by Microwave absorber. The absorption ability of the absorber is measured up to -10 ㏈ and -4 ㏈ at 3.6 ㎓, 2.3 ㎓ band respectively. Non using absorber power amplifier has the gain over 57 ㏈, the gain flatness of ${\pm}$0.33 ㏈ and the third IMD of 27 ㏈c at 33.3 W output. Otherwise, using absorber power amplifier has the gain over 58㏈, the gain flatness of less than ${\pm}$0.9, the third IMD over 29 ㏈c at the same output power. As a result, the characteristic of the different type show improvement of 1 ㏈ in gain, 0.3 ㏈ in Gain flatness and 1.77 ㏈c in IMD.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated the lowpass filter with the wide stopband characteristics using microp- strip line. Adding the $\lambda_g/4$ open stub at the input and output ports, we developed the L-C ladder type lowpass filter using the open stub which has wide stopband characteristics. In order to reduce the entire size qf this filter, the high impedance microstrip lines were made with the meander structure. The lowpass filter was fabricated with the cutoff frequency 2.3 GHz and its measured frequency responses agree well with the simulation results.
