최근 국내 전력시장은 초고압 대전력기기 사용이 현저히 증가하고 있어 이에 따라 부분방전 예방진단 시스템의 필요성은 절대적이며 이러한 시스템의 국산화가 절실히 요구되고 있다. 예방 진단 시스템의 국산화에 있어 부분방전 신호 측정시 신호 대 잡음비(Signal to Noise ratio)를 높이기 위해 측정용 센서의 검출가능 주파수 대역을 높게 설정하여 설계되고 있는데, 따라서 센서에서 검출된 신호를 처리하기 위한 로컬유닛 또한 국산화시 외국 시스템보다 더욱 신뢰성을 가질 수 있도록 설계되어야 한다. 이를 위해서는 기존의 마이크로프로세서를 채용한 저속 시스템을 대체할 수 있도록 더욱 빠르고 높은 신뢰성의 디지털 신호처리 기술이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 검출 센서의 아날로그 신호를 빠르게 디지털화 한 후 보다 정확한 데이터와 독립적 신호처리 그리고 네트워크를 통한 실시간 전송을 수행할 수 있는 부분방전 예방진단 시스템 로컬유닛의 프로토타입을 Digital Signal Processor (DSP)를 이용하여 구현하였다. 제작된 DSP 로컬유닛을 시험하기 위해 Real-Scale 170kV GIS Mock-up에서 부분방전 신호를 발생 시키고 센서를 통해 검출된 신호를 DSP가 처리하여 사용자의 네트워크를 통한 명령에 따른 실시간 전송모드, ${\Phi}$-q-n 진단모드로 자체 네트워크 기능을 이용하여 사용자에게 데이터를 실시간 전송하도록 하였다. 본 논문에서 구현한 DSP 로컬유닛은 대전력기기 부분방전 예방진단 시스템의 국산화에 있어 기존의 외국 시스템의 로컬유닛보다 구성이 간단하며, 실시간 신호처리 및 원거리 데이터 전송기능에서 우수한 성능을 보였다. 향후 연구에서는 다양한 분석 알고리즘을 탑재한 DSP를 개발하여 더욱 향상된 실시간 데이터 전송 및 분석기능이 우수한 DSP 로컬유닛을 개발하고자 한다.

Breaking waves were generated in a 2-D flume. A piston-type wavemaker was operated in accordance with signals which consist of elementary harmonics with appropriate phase differences. These phase differences were estimated by using a linear wave theory so that wave crests were to be concentrated at the same position. The stroke of wavemaker was controlled to create plunging-type breaking waves. The signal with small amplitude could not generate breaking waves. In the case of moderate amplitudes, various breaking waves could be obtained. Most of breaking waves were spilling type. Only when the wavemaker was operated with appropriate amplitude, plunging-type breaking waves were generated. The parameters of breaking waves are the wave steepness and the frequency bandwidth. If the central frequency was low, breaking waves were not generated. Based on experimental data, we found that the wave height of breaking inception was H = 0.0113 gT$^2$. We also made computations by using a mixed Euler-Lagrangian scheme under the assumption of potential flow. The numerical results show good agreements with tank measurements.

This study is to design the transmitter and receiver of short range UWB(Ultra Wide Band) imaging radar that is able to display high resolution radar image for front area of a UGV(Unmanned Ground Vehicle). This radar can help a UGV to navigate autonomously as it detects and avoids obstacles through foliage. The transmitter needs two transmitters to improve the azimuth resolution. Multi-channel receivers are required to synthesize radar image. Transmitter consists of high power amplifier, channel selection switch, and waveform generator. Receiver is composed of sixteen channel receivers, receiver channel converter, and frequency down converter, Before manufacturing it, the proposed architecture of transceiver is proved by modeling and simulation using several parameters. Then, it was manufactured by using industrial RF(Radio Frequency) components and all other measured parameters in the specification were satisfied as well.

This paper introduces an energy harvesting system that generates energy by collecting multi-band RF signals using buck-boost DC-DC converter. In an environment where the resistance of load using the collected electric energy is constantly changing, a buck-boost DC-DC converter is used in which the input resistance of the DC-DC converter does not change even if the load resistance changes. Since the frequency band of the input RF signal varies, the rectifier is designed for each band so that multiple bands can be processed, and a matching circuit is added to each band in front of the rectifier. For a rectifier to collect very small RF signals, a circuit is designed so that a constant voltage is obtained according to a very small input signal by devising a method of continuously accumulating the voltages collected and generated in each band. It is confirmed that the output efficiency can reach up to 20% even for the RF signal having the input of -20 dBm.

This paper investigated experimentally the performance of cooling systems using thermoelectric and piezoelectric modules for local heating and temperature control, such as a handheld electronic devices. The temperature distribution of the cooling region using thermoelectric modules was measured when the piezoelectric module was and was not with a frequency of 80Hz and 110Hz. The coefficients of performance were also calculated by the temperature results, and the thermo-flow phenomena in the cold region was visualized under the same conditions. The results of the temperature distribution measurements and the coefficient of performance showed that the cooling performance of the cooling system using thermoelectric modules can be improved by operating the piezoelectric module. In addition, when the piezoelectric module was operated based on the result of visualization in the cold region, which was formed by thermoelectric modules, the performance thermoelectric cooling was improved by the thermo-flow formed in the entire cold region as the forced convection of vibration was generated on the local cold region by the piezoelectric module.

A novel PLL with a delta-sigma modulator and a spur reduction circuit is proposed. delta-sigma modulator makes the LF remove noise easily by moving the spur noise to a higher frequency band. Therefore, the magnitude of spur can be reduced the reasonable bandwidth. The spur reduction circuit reduces the spur size by reducing the LF voltage change generated during the period of reference signal. The spur reduction circuit is designed as simple as possible not to increase the size of PLL. The proposed PLL with the previous two techniques is designed with a supply voltage of 1.8V in a 0.18um CMOS process. Simulation results show an almost 20dB reduction in the magnitude of spur. The spur reduced PLL can be used in narrow bandwidth communication system.

The conventional neon transformer systems are very bulky and heavy because it consist of leakage type transformers made of silicon steel plates. In addition, it has problems in noise by a neon transformer and in possibilities of fire and electrical shock when neon tubes are destroyed. A protection circuit is designed for all types of neon transformer loaded with one or more neon tubes. Whenever the neon tube fails to be started up, comes to the life end, encounters faults with open-circuits at the output terminals of the neon transformer, the protection circuit will be initiated to avoid more critical hazards. The input of the transformer is automatically cut off when the abnormal condition occurs, preventing waste of no-load power. To improve such problems, in this paper, a new type of neon power supply systems for neon tube is designed and implemented using inverter type circuits and a newly designed lightweight transformer. In the developed neon transformer system, a 60［Hz］power input is converted to 20［KHz］high frequency using half-wave inverters, thereby the transformer reduces its size by 1/5 in volume and 1/10 in weight.

Recently, the performance of the commercial PCS(Personal Communication Service) system has been improved to the uppermost limit and ultimately the next generation mobile communication is to be realized by IMT-2000 (International Mobile Communication-2000) to provide multimedia services. Therefore, the new type receiving system is researched actively and one of the most important part in a receiver is direct conversion method. The direct conversion method is suitable for low power consumption, small size, MMIC, and low price, which is to be adopted to the next generation mobile communication systems. In this case, however, several problems occur due to DC-offset. The DC-offset suppresses amplification of the required signal because of the leakage signal of frequency synthesizer in the system. In this thesis, the removing method of DC-offset was considered. There are four removing techniques of DC-offset, which are AC-coupling, large capacitor, DC-feedback loop, and DC-free coding. Among these, the AC-coupling method is the most simplest method and the DC-feedback loop method has the best performance. Then, the performance of the AC-coupling method and DC-feedback loop method are evaluated by HP's ADS simulation tool. As a result, the AC-coupling method cannot be used to the digital communication systems due to data loss. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the DC-feedback loop method is suitable for the direct conversion receiver.

The millimeter-wave radar is positioned as a key, basic ITS technology supporting safe driving, because millimeter wave allows radar to see small distant objects. This system is considered the collision-avoidance radar available in some cars. This system employs poised radar operating within the frequency range $76\sim77GHz$. Radar systems create two major problems(false images and system-to-system interference). False echoes cause driving hazards. These problems can be eliminated through the use of EM wave absorber. Therefore, we designed and fabricated EM wave absorber using permalloy. It has the thickness of 1.4 mm with composition of permalloy:CPE=70:30 wt% and absorption ability higher than 18 dB in the frequency range $76\sim77GHz$.

The field of medical images has been digitalized as the development of computer and the digitalization of the medical instruments. As a result it causes a lot of problems such as an illegal copy related to medical images and property right of the medical images. Therefore, digital watermarking is used for discrimination whether the data are modified or not. It is also used to protect both the property right of medical images and the private life of many patients. The proposed theories, the Non-blind and the Blind method, have two problems. One is needed an original image and the other is using a gaussian watermarking. This paper proposes the new Blind Watermarking using binary images in order to easily recognize the results of watermark. This algorithm is described that an watermark of a binary image is wavelet-transformed, and then a transformed watermark is inserted in medium-band of frequency domains of original image by the Circular Input method. The propose method presented the good performance of over 0.97 in NC.
