본 논문에서는 오실레이터 센서와 램파 센서를 결합하여 구조물 손상 진단을 위한 통합된 압전 센서 시스템을 제안한다. 구조물 손상으로 인한 공진주파수 변화를 관측할 수 있는 오실레이터 센서는 손상 정도에 민감하게 반응하고 구조가 단순한 장치이지만 측정 범위가 센서 주위로 제한되는 특성을 가진다. 반면에 램파를 이용한 진단 시스템은 원거리에 위치한 구조물의 손상부를 감지하기에 유용하다. 본 논문에서는 오실레이터 센서를 이용한 취약 지점의 국부적인 손상 진단 방식과 램파를 이용한 광역적인 손상 진단 방식을 결합하여 각 시스템의 장점들을 활용할 수 있는 센서 시스템의 적용가능성을 연구하였다. PZT소자를 알루미늄 판에 적용하여, 알루미늄판의 손상 정도에 따른 오실레이터 공진주파수의 변화와 램파 신호의 Time of flight, 그리고 진폭의 변화를 이용하여 구조물 손상형태의 판별 가능성을 제시하고 실험을 통하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

This paper presents the feasibility of a lateral mode piezoelectric oscillator to detect damages in civil infrastructures. The lateral mode oscillator sensor is composed of an electronic feedback oscillator circuit and a piezoelectric lateral mode vibrator to be attached to a structure of interest. Damage to the structure causes a change in the impedance spectrum of the structure, which results in a corresponding change of a resonant frequency of the structure. The oscillator sensors can instantly detect the frequency change in a very simple manner. Feasibility of the piezoelectric oscillator sensor was verified in this work with a sample aluminum plate where artificial cracks of different lengths and number were imposed in sequence. Validity of the measurement was confirmed through comparison of the experimental data with the results of finite element analyses of a plate with cracks.

In the present work, a sensor system composed of an oscillator sensor and a Lamb wave sensor is proposed for the purpose of structural health monitoring. The oscillator sensing system detecting the shift of a structural resonant frequency in proportion to the amount of defects in the structure is a pretty sensitive and simple device, but its detectable range is limited to its local zone. The Lamb wave sensor system, however, is applicable to global detection of the defects. This study is aimed at investigating the feasible combination of the two systems to exploits their merits simultaneously. The scheme to use PZT patches as the oscillator sensor as well as the Lamb wave sensor was proposed to identify the position, length and number of cracks by means of TOF and amplitude of signals, and its validity was confirmed through experiments.

In this paper we analyze the effects of frequency offset, doppler spread, sampling and oscillator phase noise in mobile channels on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM)system, Since this kind of distortions cause subcarrier interference which can be seen as additional noise, performance of OFDM system is degraded. We show the limitation of maximum carrier frequency offset and doppler frequency to maintain designated SNR, and analyze characteristics of the performance of OFDM systems considering the oscillator phase noise.

This paper presents a Time-to-Digital Converter which is a key block of an All-Digital Phase Locked Loop. In this work, a Vernier Delay Line is added in a conventional Gated Ring Oscillator, so it could get multi-phases and a high resolution. The Gated Ring Oscillator uses 7 unit delay cell, the Vernier Delay Line is used each delay cell. So proposed Time-to-Digital Converter uses total 21 phases. This Time-to-Digital Converter circuit is designed and laid out in $0.13{\mu}m$ 1P-6M CMOS technology. The proposed Time-to-Digital Converter achieves 26ps resolution, maximum input signal frequency is 100MHz and the digital output of proposed Time-to-Digital Converter are 8-bits. The proposed TDC detect 5ns phase difference between Start and Stop signal. A power consumption is 8.4~12.7mW depending on Enable signal width.

Carbon nanotube oscillators encapsulating copper nanowire were investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. The excess forces due to the carbon-carbon van der Waals interactions are higher than the excess force due to carbon-copper interactions. And the masses of copper atoms are higher than those of carbon atoms. So, the carbon atoms are easier accelerated than the copper atoms. When the encapsulated copper nanowire deforms the encapsulating nanotube, the frequency can not be estimated by the mass-frequency dependence in classical oscillation theory.
