The angular electrostatic microactuator using skewed electrode array (SEA) scheme was proposed. The moving and fixed electrodes are arranged to make the driving force perpendicular to the rotating moment of arm. By changing the electrode overlap length, the magnitude of electrostatic force and stable displacement will be changed. In order to optimize the design, electrostatic FE analysis were carried out and the empirical force model was established for SEA. Simulation was performed to make the comparison between conventional actuators and SEA. The proposed SEA generates actuating torque 2 times greater than a comb-drive and stable actuator displacement 40% greater than a parallel plate type actuator. The angular electrostatic microactuator using skewed SEA scheme was designed and fabricated using SoG process.

Fly-wheel, gimbal antenna, mechanical gyro and cryocooler with moving parts generate a micro-vibration during their on-orbit operation. For the acquisition of high quality image of observation satellite, additional technical efforts are required to reduce the micro-vibration level from the vibration sources. In this study, we proposed a passive isolation system combined with a tuned mass damper-type energy harvester to generate electrical energy from the micro-vibration which has always been subjected to useless isolation objectives. The feasibility of the system has been investigated through the numerical simulation.

Although the magnitude of the disturbance caused by the driving of the motor operated to secure the high-speed and precise directivity of the antenna is small, it acts as a major cause of impairing the image quality of the observation satellite, which requires precision directing performance. In order to acquire high-resolution image information through the improvement of the high-resolution observation satellite, proper vibration isolation and reduction design are required so that jitter generated when the directional antenna motor is driven is not transmitted to the main mission equipment. In this paper, the development process of the directional antenna vibration reduction device applied to real satellites and the effect of micro vibration reduction before and after application will be examined. This device was designed as a way to significantly improve the jitter problem by replacing only one gear in the directional antenna driving unit with a spring damper gear without any additional interface equipment. It was first applied and launched to a high-resolution earth observation satellite, and has been successfully operated so far.

This paper reports the design and fabrication of a micro-electro-mechanical-system(MEMS)-based electrostatic angular microactuator for a dual-stage servo. The proposed actuator employs a novel electrode pattern named "skewed electrode array(SEA)" scheme. It is shown that SEA has better linearity than a parallel plate type actuator and stronger force than a comb-drive based actuator. The moving and the fixed electrodes are arranged to make the driving force perpendicular to the rotating moment of arm. By changing the electrode overlap length, the magnitude of electrostatic force and stable displacement will be changed. In order to optimize the design, an electrostatic FE analysis was carried out and an empirical force model was established for SEA. A new assembly method which will allow the active electrodes to be located beneath the slider was developed. The active electrodes are connected by inner and outer rings lifted on the base substrate, and the inner and outer rings are connected to platform on which the slider locates. Electrostatic force between active electrodes and platform can be used for exiting out of plane modes, so this provides the possibility of the flying height control. A microactuator that can position the pico-slider over ${\pm}0.5{\mu}m$ using under 20 volts for a 2 kHz fine-tracking servo was designed and fabricated using SoG process.

본 논문에서는 코리올리 효과를 가진 압전-구조 시스템의 주파수응답 해석을 효율적으로 수행하기 위한 크리로프 부공간 모델차수축소법을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 초기 유한요소모델과 축소모델의 전달함수의 계수인 모멘트를 일치시키는 방법을 이용하는 축소기법으로 이미 대형 유한요소모델의 주파수응답 해석에 효과적으로 이용되고 있다. 예제로 고려된 압전형 미소 각속도계의 해석에는 압전구동 하중과 구조체의 회전에 따른 원심력이 동시에 입력하중으로 고려되는 다중입력의 경우이므로 변환행렬 V의 생성시, block Arnoldi 과정을 이용하여 두 하중의 효과를 축소모델에 함께 고려한다. 본 문제에 제안된 축소기법을 이용한 결과, 축소모델을 이용하여 원래 시스템의 관심영역의 주파수응답을 작은 차수의 모델로도 정확하게 계산할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법을 이용하면 다양한 가진조건과 각속도 입력 하에서의 주파수응답을 정확하고 더욱 효율적으로 계산할 수 있을 것이다.

Micro-vibration induced by on-board appendages that have mechanical moving parts has always been treated as an useless objective that has to be isolated, in order to comply with a high-resolution mission requirement of the observation satellite. In this study, we proposed a tuned mass damper energy harvester combined with a conventional passive vibration isolator for exhibiting dual functions of both electrical energy harvesting and micro-vibration isolation. The feasibility of the proposed dual-function complex system has been demonstrated through the comparison with numerical simulations, based on the results of basic characteristic tests, and experiments of the harvested power and micro-vibration.

As electronic industry and radio communication technologies progress, mankind enjoys its abundant life. On the other hand, it becomes possible that the electrical and electronic equipments are on light weight, small size, high speed, broad bandwidth, and operation by small energy. At the same time, many social problems like EMI/EMS by electromagnetic waves occur. Therefore, tile organizations such as CISPR, FCC, ANCI, etc., have provided the standards of electromagnetic wave environments for the countermeasure of the EMC. In this paper, we designed and studied a new EMI filter for multi-tap in the frequency band from 150 kHz to 30 MHz.

This paper designed and manufactured a chip mounter based on 3D printer technology that can be used for educational research or sample production to disseminate chip mounter, a core technology of SMT line. A stepper motor with open loop control is used for low cost drive design. The shortcomings of the motor's vibration and disassembly caused by the use of the step motor were compensated by the Micro-Step control method. In the chip mounter experiment, the gerber file was generated on the small chip mounter, printed at the actual size, and the solder cream was printed on the HASL-treated PCB in the same manner as the sample board fabrication. As a result of the experiment, unlike the 2012 micro components, parts such as SOIC and TQFP that require correction are twice as long as the component mounting time, but it can be confirmed that they are mounted relatively accurately. In addition, as a result of repeatedly measuring the error of the initial position 10 times, it was confirmed that a relatively small error of about 0.110mm occurs.

The improved SWNTs/PANi composite actuator films applicable to an artificial muscle were fabricated successfully using a new process of manufacture that consists of 90% pure single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) and chemical polymerization. PANi is electrically conducting polyaniline polymer. The conductivities of the composite SWNTs/PANi film-type actuators and the pure PANi films fabricated were measured as 56.15 S/cm and 17.38 S/cm, respectively, by the 4-prove method. The conductivity of the composite actuator is 3.2 times higher than the pure PANi film. The fabricated composite actuator showed higher conductivity than any other similar ones. The quality of samples was investigated by an electron scanning microscope (SEM). To measure the actuating strains, a specially designed beam balance apparatus was developed and strains of the composite actuators was measured by a laser displacement sensor subjected to electric currents. During the operation, the sample was soaked in the $NaNO_3$ solution and the sine-wave voltage in the range of $+1V{\sim}-1V$ was applied. The length of the composite actuator changed from $l_0=12.690$ mm to $l_1=12.733$ so that the change of length was l=0.043 mm and the strain was 0.34 %. This is a very high strain for this kind of a composite actuator. Other result reported by Tahhan showed 0.23 % strain, so that the present result is improved by 48%.
