This paper proposes the novel boost input type resonant AC/DC converter. Since the proposed converter is single stage topology, it controls both of the input power factor and the output voltage at the same time, and resultingly obtains the high power factor of 99% with average current mode pulse width modulation. Especially, to accomplish the zero voltage switching, the resonance between the leakage inductance and external capacitor is used. For the theoretical consideration of the proposed converter, the six operation modes divided by means of current path are discussed, and the resonance characteristics in steady state are analyzed. To verify the validity of the proposed converter, a 200[W]($120[V_AC],\; 출력\; 48[V_DC],\; 4[A]$prototype converter was built and its experimental results were presented in this paper.

In this paper, a Ku-band 50-W internally-matched power amplifier is designed and fabricated using a CGHV1J070D GaN HEMT from Wolfspeed. To obtain the same magnitudes and phases for the output signals of the unit transistor cells, which constitute a power transistor, a slit pattern and an asymmetric T-junction are used in the input and output matching circuits. The internally-matched power amplifier is fabricated on two different thin-film substrates with relative dielectric constants of 40 and 9.8, respectively, and is measured under pulsed conditions with a pulse period of $330{\mu}s$ and a duty cycle of 6%. The measured results show a maximum output power of 50~73 W, a drain efficiency of 35.4~46.4%, and a power gain of 4.5~6.5 dB from 16.2 to 16.8 GHz.

STSAT-2 will be launched on December 2007 by the first Korean launch vehicle KSLV-1, and its one of the main instruments is DREAM (Dual Channel Radio Frequency and Environment Atmosphere Monitoring) which detects a signal for atmosphere from the Earth by using micro-wave signal. The STSAT-2 has many units for technology demonstration such as FDSS (Fine Digital Sun Sensor) and DHST (Dual Head Star Tracker) including PPT (Pulsed Plasma Thruster) for attitude control and momentum dumping in the space. In this paper, the power budget analysis for STSAT-2 will be studied and provided for supporting the whole mission life time during the mission of its spacecraft.

Picosecond time-correlated single photon counting system and time-resolved luminescence spectrometer were constructed, employing a mode-locked picosecond laser, fast electronics, and microchannel plate tube. It has been shown that the instrument response function critically depends on laser pulse shape, timing jitter and walk of the electronics, and characteristics of detector and amplifier. Correcting time dispersion in the optical system, the best instrument response function obtained appears to be 25 ps, which made it possible to measure the luminescence lifetime with less than 10 ps resolution in the picosecond to microsecond range. range.

Traction control suppresses the spinning of the driven wheel during drive away or acceleration on slippery road condition. In this study, the estimation method of brake pressure hardly measured is proposed. The estimation method of brake pressure and the brake pressure control with pulse width modulation(PWM) are verified a good performance through experiment. Also, the vehicle simulation on slippery road conditions is validated the applicability of brake pressure control for traction control. The simulation results have showed that the brake pressure can be used the control variable for traction control.

This paper presents multi-channel transimpedance amplifier(TIA) arrays in short-range LADAR systems for unmanned vehicles, by using a 0.18um CMOS technology. Two $4{\times}4$ channel TIA arrays including a voltage-mode INV-TIA and a current-mode CG-TIA are introduced. First, the INV-TIA consists of a inverter stage with a feedback resistor and a CML output buffer with virtual ground so as to achieve low noise, low power, easy current control for gain and impedance. Second, the CG-TIA utilizes a bias from on-chip bandgap reference and exploits a source-follower for high-frequency peaking, yielding 1.26 times smaller chip area per channel than INV-TIA. Post-layout simulations demonstrate that the INV-TIA achieves 57.5-dB${\Omega}$ transimpedance gain, 340-MHz bandwidth, 3.7-pA/sqrt(Hz) average noise current spectral density, and 2.84mW power dissipation, whereas the CG-TIA obtains 54.5-dB${\Omega}$ transimpedance gain, 360-MHz bandwidth, 9.17-pA/sqrt(Hz) average noise current spectral density, and 4.24mW power dissipation. Yet, the pulse simulations reveal that the CG-TIA array shows better output pulses in the range of 200-500-Mb/s operations.

The new biotelemetry method and system that the installation and the treatment of equipment is convenient and the instantaneously detailed position of the fish attached the pinger is able to track comparatively easily had been developed, an availabilities of it were verified in water tank by using hydrophone and pinger. First of all, the receiving system for biotelemetry was calibrated so as to measure tracking of high precision or wide detection range. In the next place, the precision at narrow and wide beam array of receiving system by using hydrophone was investigated and the actual position was compared with measured hydrophone position. The mean standard deviations of the position by narrow beam array of receiving system were 6.4em in phase beam of fore-aft pair and 6.3em in starboard-port pair, and the wide beam array were 24em and 23em respectively. The precision of distance, position, and velocity at narrow beam array of receiving system by using pinger were investigated and the actual values were compared with measured values. The distance from receiving system to pinger was measured by the pinger synchronizing method, angle of direction of pinger was detected by the super short base line (SSBL) method. The three dimensional position of pinger to the receiving system was measured by combining of two kinds of methods (SPB method), the velocity of pinger was obtained with a differential of the three dimensional positions. The mean standard deviations of the distance by pinger synchronizing method in narrow beam array of receiving system was 1. 8 em, that of the position by SPB method was 7.7cm.

This paper presents the REA thrusters performance estimation results for the KOREASAT F1&F2 launched in 1995 The satellite tracking data obtained from the ground system from end of 1999 to beginning of the 2000 are used to estimate the thruster performance. The estimation algorithm is derived from the least square estimation theory and designed to estimate the velocity change induced by the on-boarded thruster firing as well as the orbit parameter. The estimation results show that the Koreasat F1 thruster are in bad thruster condition of 64% performance for REA when it fires in on-pulse mode. Here, the performance is defined by the ratio of the resulted velocity change to that of planned. But, in the case o( the Koreasat F2, it is found that the performance approximately reaches up to 100%, even after the 5 years of the mission.

2-color 3-step resonance photoionization scheme has been used for selective photoionization of mercury isotopes. The levels of $6^3P_1$ and $6^1D_2$ were selected as intermediate excited levels, and the laser wavelengths used were 253.7 nm for the first excitation and 313.2 nm for the second excitation and ionization. Selective excitation for individual isotope was realized in the first excitation step with a single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) dye laser rrf ~700 MHz linewidth. For the second excitation and ionization step, a dye laser with relatively large linewidth of ~5 GHz was used. In this work the effect of laser intensities on isotope selectivity was analyzed from the mass spectra obtained in real time from the time-of-flight mass spectrometer.
