In this paper, a novel intensity-based fiber optic vibration sensor using a mass-spring structure, which consists of four serpentine flexure springs and a rectangular aperture within a proof mass, is proposed and its feasibility test is given by the simulation and experiment. An optical collimator is used to broaden the beam which is modulated by the displacement of the rectangular aperture within the proof mass. The proposed fiber optic vibration sensor has been analyzed and designed in terms of the optical and mechanical parts. A mechanical structure has been designed using theoretical analysis, mathematical modeling, and 3D FEM (Finite Element Method) simulation. The relative aperture displacement according to the base vibration is given using FEM simulation, while the output beam power according to the relative displacement is measured by experiment. The simulated sensor sensitivity of $15.731{\mu}W/G$ and detection range of ${\pm}6.087G$ are given. By using reference signal, the output signal with 0.75% relative error shows a good stability. The proposed vibration sensor structure has the advantages of a simple structure, low cost, and multi-point sensing characteristic. It also has the potential to be made by MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) technology.

In this study, a 12 V PWM boost converter was designed with the optimal values of the external components of the power stage was well as the compensation stage for smart electronic applications powered by a battery device. The 12 V boost PWM converter consisted of several passive elements, such as a resistor, inductor and capacitor with a diode, power MOS switch and control IC chip for the control PWM signal. The devices of the power stage and compensation stage were designed to maintain stable operation under a range of load conditions as well as achieving the highest power efficiency. The results of this study were first verified by a simulation in SPICE from calculations of the values of major external elements comprising the converter. The design was also implemented on the prototype PCBboard using commercial IC LM3481 from Texas Instruments, which has a nominal output voltage of 12 V. The output voltage, ripple voltage, and load regulation with the line regulation were measured using a digital oscilloscope, DMM tester, and DC power supply. By configuring the converter under the same conditions as in the circuit simulation, the experimental results matched the simulation results.

In this paper, a cascade of a wideband amplifier and a high-Q bandpass filter (BPF) has been realized in a 0.18mm CMOS technology for the applications of subsampling direct-conversion receivers. The wideband amplifier is designed to obtain the -3dB bandwidth of 5.4GHz, and the high-Q BPF is designed to select a 2.4GHz RF signal for the Bluetooth specifications. The measured results demonstrate 18.8dB power gain at 2.34GHz with 31MHz bandwidth, corresponding to the quality factor of 75. Also, it shows the noise figure (NF) of 8.6dB, and the broadband input matching (S11) of less than -12dB within the bandwidth. The whole chip dissipates 64.8mW from a single 1.8V supply and occupies the area of $1.0{\times}1.0mm2$.

In this paper, we propose a novel and simple optical technique for the detection of subcarrier-multiplexed(SCM) labels using optical interleavers. Optical-baseband packet signals with suppressed subcarriers appear at the through-pass port of the optical interleaver and SCM labels with suppressed optical carrier exit from the optical SCM extraction port. Since it does not require optical circulators, this structure shows less insertion loss than the previously proposed optical label detectors. The periodic nature of the interleaver transfer function makes it possible to detect multiple SCM channels simultaneously from an incoming wavelength-multiplexed signal stream. Detection of a 155-Mb/s ASK modulated 9.79-GHz subcarrier using a 10-GHz SCM optical label detector has been performed successfully and verified through optical spectra and bi t-error-rate measurements.

Optical subcarrier-multiplexed (OSCM) labels in optical label switching networks have been detected using interleavers composed of fiber-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer. 10-GHz optical single-/double-sideband signals generated from dual-electrode Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator have been used as the OSCM labels. In the case of single-sideband signals, the upper-sideband was observed to be suppressed about 16.8 dB compared with the lower-sideband from the optical spectrum measured at the label extraction output. For the case of double-sideband signals, both sidebands appeared with small insertion loss at the interleaver output. Since we used the phase-shift method to generate single-sideband signals, the power level of the single-sideband was higher by 3 dB than that of the double-sidebands.

In this paper, a discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM) DC-DC buck converter is presented for mobile device applications. The buck converter consists of compensator for stable operations, pulse-width modulation (PWM) logic, and power switches. In order to achieve small hardware form-factor, the number of off-chip components should be kept to be minimum, which can be realized with simple and efficient frequency compensation and digital soft start-up circuits. Burst-mode operation is included for preventing the efficiency from degrading under very light load condition. The DCM DC-DC buck converter is fabricated with 0.18-um BCDMOS process. Programmable output with external resistors is typically set to be 1.8V for the input voltage between 2.8 and 5.0V. With a switching frequency of 1MHz, measured maximum efficiency is 92.6% for a load current of 100mA.

We have investigated the lasing characteristics of the InGaAs quantum dot laser diode (QD-LD) and InGaAs quantum well laser diode (QW-LD) operated at the 980 nm wavelength range. The 980-nm lasers are used as a pumping source for a erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and it shows high efficiency in long-haul optical fiber network. We have compared the threshold current density, the characteristic temperature, the optical power and the internal efficiency of QD-LD and QW-LD under a pulsed current condition. The QD-LD shows superior performances to the QW-LD. Further optimization of a LD structure is expected to the superior performances of a QD-LD.

Fiber-optic strain sensors based on Bragg reflection gratings produce the change of reflection spectrum when an external stress is applied on the sensor. To measure the Bragg reflection wavelength in high speed, an arrayed waveguide grating device is incorporated in this work. By monitoring the output power from each channel of the AWG, the peak wavelength corresponding to the applied strain could be obtained. To enhance the accuracy of the AWG wavelength interrogation system, a chirped fiber Bragg grating with a 3-dB bandwith of 5.4 nm is utilized. The high-speed response of the proposed system is demonstrated by measuring a fast varying strain produced by the damped oscillation of a cantilever. An oscillation frequency of 17.8 Hz and a damping time constant of 0.96 second are obtained in this measurement.

본 연구는 필드 작업 시 작업조건에 따른 정식기의 PTO 부하를 측정하고, 이를 이용하여 작업조건에 따른 안전율 시뮬레이션을 목적으로 수행하였다. 부하 계측 시스템은 PTO 축의 부하를 측정하기 위한 토크 센서, 토크 센서에서 발생한 신호를 수집하기 위한 데이터 수집장치, 노트북에 전원을 공급하기 위한 파워 컨트롤러로 구성하였다. 토크센서에서 입력된 부하 데이터를 처리하기 위한 소프트웨어는 Labview(Version 2011, National Instrument, USA)를 사용하였다. 포장시험은 유사한 토양 조건에서 4회 반복 시험을 수행하였으며, 작업속도 고속 조건에서 4개의 주간거리(26, 35, 43, 80cm)와 3개의 식부깊이 (85, 105, 136mm)에 대하여 수행하였다. 안전율 시뮬레이션을 위한 소프트웨어는 KISSsoft(Version 2016, Kissling & Co. AG, Switzerland)를 사용하였다. 식부깊이 85mm에서 주간거리 26, 35, 43, 80cm일 때 작업시 각각 굽힘 안전율은 2.2874, 2.4507, 2.7139, 2.8064로 나타났으며 접촉 안전율은 1.1787, 1.2799, 1.3205, 1.3275로 나타났다. 식부깊이 105mm에서 주간거리 26, 35, 43, 80cm일 때 작업 시 각각 굽힘 안전율은 2.1261, 2.2781, 2.4879, 2.5866로 나타났으며 접촉 안전율은 1.1296, 1.1425, 1.2710, 1.2507로 나타났다. 식부깊이 136mm에서 주간거리 26, 35, 43, 80cm일 때 작업 시 각각 굽힘 안전율은 1.6587, 1.6651, 1.7824, 2.2198로 나타났으며 접촉 안전율은 1.0030, 1.0104, 1.0450, 1.1931로 나타났다. 주간거리에 따른 식부깊이의 굽힘 안전율과 접촉 안전율은 가장 차이가 큰 주간거리 80cm에서 식부깊이가 85, 105, 136mm일 때 작업 시 각각 굽힘 안전율은 2.8064, 2.5866, 2.2198로 나타났으며 접촉 안전율은 1.3275, 1.2507, 1.1931로 나타났다. 시뮬레이션 결과 정식기 베벨기어의 안전율은 주간거리가 짧을수록, 식부깊이가 깊을수록 더 낮게 나타났다. 그러므로 정식 작업 시 정식기의 부하와 내구성을 고려하여 적절한 작업조건을 선정해야 함을 알 수 있다. 또한 향후 다양한 토양 조건 및 작업 단수 등에 따른 포장시험을 추가로 진행하여 여러 조건에서의 안전율 시뮬레이션을 수행할 예정이다.

In this paper, a self-interference signal cancellation(SIC) circult for In-band Full-Duplex has been developed and tested in RF/analog region. By use of this SIC circuit, a FM two-way radio has been developed working at FRS(Family Radio Service) band. The two-way radio device is transmitting the FM modulated signal and demodulating the wanted FM signal at the same time. A circulator is used to enable a single antenna to transmit and receive simuultaenously. The receiver circuit needs to cancel out the self-interference signal due to the transmit signal. A vector modulator(VM) is used to control the phase and magnitude of the esitmated signal. And in-phase and quadrature correlators are used to figure out the optimal coefficients of the VM to remove the self-interference signal according to the change of channel environment. In this work, SA58646 has been used as the FM transceiver, and the system is tested with a frequency of 465 MHz and a bandwidth of 12.5 kHz FM signal. The output power is 17.2 dBm at the antenna port, and the self intererence signal level is measured -49.2 dBm at the receiver end. Therefore the SIC level is measured by 66.4 dB.
