본 논문은 $24{\mu}m$ 이하의 미세 폭 및 $30{\mu}m$ 이하의 피치와 같이 미세 패턴을 가진 칩 온 필름(chip-on-film, COF)에 발생한 결함들을 자동으로 검출할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 개발된 검출시스템은 미세 패턴의 COF에서 발생한 개방 (open), 단락 (hard short), mouse bite 및 near short (soft short)과 같은 다양한 결함들을 자동으로 빠르게 검출할 수 있는 기술이 적용되어 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 결함 검사 기술의 기본 원리는 미세 패턴내의 결함으로 인해 발생한 저항의 미세 변화를 고주파 공진기 (resonator)를 이용하여 측정 주파수에서 증폭시키고 증폭된 결함 신호와 결함이 없는 경우의 신호와의 전압차를 읽어서 0이 아니면 결함이 있음을 판단한다. 제안된 시스템은 미세 패턴 COF 검사 과정에서 결함들을 신속히 측정할 수 있으므로 불필요한 COF 복사를 위해 소요되는 경비를 줄일 수 있으리라 기대한다.

This paper presents the development of a high power amplifier for a transmitter of INMARSAT-C operating at L-band(1626.5∼1646.5 MHz). To simplify the fabrication process, the whole system is designed of two parts composed of a driving amplifier and a high power amplifier The HP's AT-41486 is used for driving part and the SGS-THOMSON microelectronics' STM1645 is used the high power amplifier. The SSPA(Solid State Power Amplifier) was fabricated by the both circuits of RF and temperature compensation in aluminum housing. The realized SSPA has more than 36 dB for small signal within 20MHz bandwidth, and the voltage standing wave ratios(VSWR) of input and output Port are less than 1.5:1, respectively. The output Power of 42.2 dBm is achieved at the 1636.5 MHz. These results reveal a high power amplifier of 20 Watt which is the design target.

In this paper, we has designed and implemented Up-converter for K-band with high IMD3 performance using balanced power amplifier. It is consisted of PA module and, Local Oscillator module with reject Filter, mixer module and If block, and Up-converter has a local loop path to decide whether it operate or not and has the sensing port to inspect output power level. According to the power budget of designed Up-converter, K-band balanced power amplifier was fabricated by commercial MMIC. Measurement results of up-converter show about 40dB Gain, PldB of 29dBm and OIP3 was 38.25dBm, that is good performance compared to power budgets. We has adjusted gate voltage of MMIC to control more than 30 dB gain. This up-converter was used in transceiver for PTP and PTMP, and applied to digital communication system that use QAM and QPSK modulation.

In this study, we propose a CMOS power amplifier (PA) using a bypass technique to enhance the efficiency in the low-power region. For the bypass structure, the common-gate (CG) transistor of the cascode structure of the driver stage is divided in two parallel branches. One of the CG transistors is designed to drive the power stage for high-power mode. The other CG transistor is designed to bypass the power stage for low-power mode. Owing to a turning-off of the power stage, the power consumption is decreased in low-power mode. The measured maximum output power is 20.35 dBm with a power added efficiency of 12.10%. At a measured output power of 11.52 dBm, the PAE is improved from 1.90% to 7.00% by bypassing the power stage. Based on the measurement results, we verified the functionality of the proposed bypass structure.

Data imbalance refers to a phenomenon in which the number of data in one category is too large or too small compared to another category. Due to this, it has been raised as a major factor that deteriorates performance in machine learning that utilizes classification algorithms. In order to solve the data imbalance problem, various ovrsampling methods for amplifying prime number distribution data have been proposed. Among them, SMOTE is the most representative method. In order to maximize the amplification effect of minority distribution data, various methods have emerged that remove noise included in data (SMOTE-IPF) or enhance only border lines (Borderline SMOTE). This paper proposes a method to ultimately improve classification performance by improving the processing method for anomaly data in the traditional SMOTE method that amplifies minority classification data. The proposed method consistently presented relatively high classification performance compared to the existing methods through experiments.

The problem has been pointed out that the domestic design response spectrum does not reflect site amplification, particularly in the high frequency bands, including the fact that site specific response spectrum from the observed ground motions appears relatively higher than design response spectrum. Among various methods, this study applied H/V spectral ratio of ground motion for estimating site amplification. This method, originated from S waves and Rayleigh waves, recently has been extended to Coda waves and background noise for estimating site amplification. For limited time of periods, 4 electric substation sites had operated seismic stations at two separate locations (bedrock and borehole) within each substation site. H/V spectral ratio of S wave, Coda wave, and background noise, was applied to 36 accelerations of 3 macro earthquakes (Odaesan, Jeju and Gongju earthquakes), larger than magnitude 3.4. observed simultaneously at each bedrock location within 4 electric substation sites. Site amplifications at the bedrock location of 4 sites were compared among S wave, Coda wave energy, and background noise, and then compared to the previous results from the borehole location data. The site classification was also tried using resonancy frequency information at each site and location. The results suggested that all the electric substation sites showed similar site amplification patterns among S wave, Coda wave, and background noise. Each station showed its own characteristics of site amplification property in low, high and specific resonance frequency ranges. Comparison of this study to other results using different method can give us much more information about dynamic amplification of domestic sites characteristics and site classification.

Seismograms are composed of 3 characteristics, that is, seismic source, attenuation, and site amplification. Among them, site amplification characteristics should be considered significantly to estimate seismic source and attenuation characteristics with more confidence. This purpose of this study is to estimate the site amplification characteristics at each site using horizontal to vertical (H/V) spectral ratio method. This method, originally proposed by Nakamura (1989), has been applied to study the surface waves in microtremor records. It has been recently extended to the shear wave energy of strong motion and applied to the study of site amplification. This study analyzed the H/V spectral ratio of 6 ground motions respectively using observed data from 4 sites nearby in Yedang Reservoir. And then, site amplification effects at each site, from 3 kinds of seismic energies, that is, S waves, Coda waves energy, and background noise were compared each other. The results suggested that 4 sites showed its own characteristics of site amplification property in specific resonance frequency ranges (YDS: ~11 Hz, YDU: ~4 Hz, YDD: ~7 Hz). Comparison of this study to other studies using different analysis method can give us much more information about dynamic amplification of domestic sites characteristics and site classification.

We propose a 2.4-GHz CMOS power amplifier (PA) with a bypass structure to improve the power-added efficiency (PAE) in the low-power region. The primary winding of the output transformer is split into two parts. One of the primary windings is connected to the output of the power stage for high-power mode. The other primary winding is connected to the output of the driver stage for low-power mode. Operation of the high power mode is similar to conventional PAs. On the other hand, the output power of the driver stage becomes the output power of the overall PA in the low power mode. Owing to a turning-off of the power stage, the power consumption is decreased in low-power mode. We designed the CMOS PA using a 180-nm RFCMOS process. The measured maximum output power is 27.78 dBm with a PAE of 20.5%. At a measured output power of 16 dBm, the PAE is improved from 2.5% to 12.7%.

The noise caused by a variety of reasons worsens the quality of input image when we use the images reproducing device. The basic difficulty to solve this problem is that the noise and the signal are difficult to be distinguished. Contrast enhancement such as unsharp masking is one of the most important procedures to improve the quality of input images. The conventional unsharp masking enhances the images by adding their amplified high frequency components. The noise component of the input images, however, also tends to be amplified due to the nature of the unsharp masking. This paper considers the block approach for detecting niose and image feature of the input image so that the unsharp masking could be adaptively applied accordingly. Simulation results show that it is made possible to enhance contrast of the image without boosting up the noisy components by applying the proposed algorithm.

Recently, Korean government has tried out to set up earthquake hazards prevention system. In the system, several geotechnical hazard maps including liquefaction hazard map and landslide hazard map for the whole country have drawn to consider the domestic seismic characteristics. To draw the macro liquefaction hazard map, big data of site investigations in metropolitan areas and provincial areas has to be verified for its application. In this research, we carried out site response analyses using 522 borehole site investigation data in S city during a desirable earthquake. The soil classification was separately compared to shear wave velocity considering the uncertainty of site investigation data. Probability distribution and statistical analysis for the results of site response analyses was applied to the feasibility study. Finally, we suggest a new site amplification coefficient, hereby presented with the similar results of liquefaction hazard mapping using the calculated liquefaction potential index by the site response analyses. Above-mentioned study will be expected to help to follow research and draw liquefaction hazard map in moderate seismic region.
