Switching characteristics in both linear and nonlinear loads are analysed for a 3-phase voltage disturbance generator applicable to the performance test of custom power devices. Since the line current of the linear load is continuous the natural commutation of the SCR thyristors comprising the generator is carried out with ease. However, in case of nonlinear load the natural commutation scheme is different from that of the linear load due to the discontinuous load current. Through the analysis it is found that a specific switching condition can provide the voltage sag, swell, outage, and voltage unbalance generation in nonlinear load too. The operation of the voltage disturbance generation is described and the usefulness of the generator is verified through simulation and experimental results. It is expected that the generator can be used in the performance test of the custom power devices with low implementation cost and easy control.

This paper studied a method of attenuating nonlinear noise using a Wiener filter of a neural network structure in an acoustic noise attenuator. This system improves nonlinear noise attenuation performance with a deep learning algorithm using a neural network Wiener filter instead of using a conventional adaptive filter. A voice is estimated from a single input voice signal containing nonlinear noise using a 128-neuron, 8-neuron hidden layer and an error back propagation algorithm. In this study, a simulation program using the Keras library was written and a simulation was performed to verify the attenuation performance for nonlinear noise. As a result of the simulation, it can be seen that the noise attenuation performance of this system is significantly improved when the FNN filter is used instead of the Wiener filter even when nonlinear noise is included. This is because the complex structure of the FNN filter expresses any type of nonlinear characteristics well.

The paper is concerned with the elasto-plastic and geometrically nonlinear analysis of shell structures using an improved degenerated shell element. In the formulation of the element stiffness, the combined use of three different techniques was made. They are; 1) an enhanced interpolation of transverse shear strains in the natural coordinate system to overcome the shear locking problem ; 2) the reduced integration technique in in-plane strains to avoid the membrane locking behavior ; and 3) selective addition of the nonconforming displacement modes to improve the element performances. This element is free of serious shear/membrane locking problems and undesirable compatible/commutable spurious kinematic deformation modes. In the formulation for plastic deformation, the concept of a layered element model is used and the material is assumed von Mises yield criterion. An incremental total Lagrangian formulation is presented which allows the calculation of arbitrarily large displacements and rotations. The resulting non-linear equilibrium equations are solved by the Netwon-Raphson method combined with load or displacement increment. The versatility and accuracy of this improved degenerated shell element are demonstrated by solving several numerical examples.

Optical three-dimensional (3D) measurement systems based on digital fringe projection are used in many contactless measurement applications. The system which can measure a dozen micrometers uses a liquid-crystal display (LCD) as the projection unit for generating a digital fringe pattern, because a flexible fringe pattern can be easily made by computer software. According to the gamma nonlinearity of the LCD projection unit, the digital fringe projection error on the object affects the accuracy of 3D object measurement. An improved method of LCD gamma-nonlinearity error reduction is proposed, by using the inverse function of the intensity transfer function to improve the accuracy. The improvement due to the proposed method is shown by measuring the difference in precision between a computer-generated sine wave and a camera-obtained sine wave for a standard semiconductor specimen.

현재 반도체 및 LCD 제조분야에 적용되는 공정장비, 이송시스템에는 고성능, 고생산성이 요구되고 있는 추세이다 기존의 선형이송시스템은 구동원으로 서보모터(Servo Motor)를 사용하고 있으며, 기계적 동력전달장치를 사용하여 직선운동을 하는 구조로 되어있어 마찰소음, Position Error 등의 발생요인이 많은 단점을 가지고 있다. 반면에 선형전동기(Linear Motor)를 이송시스템의 구동원으로 사용하면 기계적 동력전달장치가 생략되어 기존의 선형이송시스템이 가지고 있는 단점들의 개선효과가 크며 유지보수면에서도 유리한 점이 많다. 본 연구에서는 2,500[N]급 영구자석 여자 횡자속 선형전동기를 설계, 개발하였으며, 이를 적용한 추진모듈을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 횡자속 선형전동기 적용 추진모듈은 LCD 제조분야의 Stocker, RGV, Index, OHS, OHT 등을 비롯하여 타 산업분야의 선형이송시스템으로의 가능하다.

In this paper, the performance for the non-linear satellite channel including the characteristics of group delay and gain ripple of transponder is analyzed with multi-level QAM-OFDM schemes. Comparing the BER performances between general OFDM and CI(Carrier Interferometry)-OFDM for various QAM schemes, the degree of performance improvement is presented in AWGN environments for specified nonlinear characteristics. The simulations are performed with the 36MHz bandwidth of transponder channel and 120Mbps transmission rate for QPSK, 8QAM, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM schemes between normal and worst case condition. It is shown that the improvement measure by the CI-OFDM for the group delay of channel and nonlinear characteristic of HPA outperforms that for the gain ripple in the case of higher level QAM scheme in normal condition. And the simulation results show that the additional techniques like the channel coding and compensation scheme against the nonlinear characteristic are required for 32QAM and higher level QAM in worst case condition.

As a method to compensate the deterioration of the picture quality which was caused by beam profile characteristic in the CRT and the projection screen of HD projection TV, a linear scan velocity modulation(SVM) method has been employed, whose modulation velocity is linearly proportional to the variation in the video signal amplitude. However, the effect of picture quality improvement is not uniform with video signal amplitude in the linear SVM. In this paper, for the optimum SVM effect, we analyze the beam profile characteristic on the HD projection screen and we analyze the SVM effect as function of the differentiated pulse width, the differentiated pulse amplitude and the input signal amplitude. Finally we confirm that the nonlinear SVM method is necessary to get uniform image compensation in the HD projection TV, and we implement the nonlinear SVM circuit. The performance of the realized SVM circuit with nonlinear amplitude transfer characteristic is confirmed as uniform improvements in picture quality.

In this paper, a blind nonlinear channel equalization is implemented by using a Modified Fuzzy C-Means (MFCM) algorithm. The proposed MFCM searches the optimal channel output states of a nonlinear channel from the received symbols, based on the Bayesian likelihood fitness function instead of a conventional Euclidean distance measure. Next, the desired channel states of a nonlinear channel are constructed with the elements of estimated channel output states, and placed at the center of a Radial Basis Function (RBF) equalizer to reconstruct transmitted symbols. In the simulations, binary signals are generated at random with Gaussian noise. The performance of the proposed method is compared with that of a hybrid genetic algorithm (GA merged with simulated annealing (SA): GASA), and the relatively high accuracy and fast searching speed are achieved.

This paper presents new drain bias scheme for the linearity enhancement of envelope tacking power amplifiers for W-CDMA base-stations. In the conventional envelope tracking power amplifiers, the drain bias voltage is lowered close to the knee voltage of transistor, resulting in the severe linearity degradation. To solve this problem, it is proposed in this paper that the amplifier is biased in the conventional class AB mode with a fixed drain bias voltage if the input envelope is low and in the envelope tracking mode otherwise. Moreover, the drain bias in the envelope tracking mode is newly determined to minimized the distortion. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed bias scheme, simulation is performed on the W-CDMA based-station envelope tracking power amplifier using class AB Si-LDMOS power amplifier. It is shown from the simulation that the proposed bias scheme allows a drastic linearity enhancement with the comparable efficiency enough to meet the requirement of W-CDMA base-station without additional linearization techniques.
