Y-형 분배기(Y-branch) 소자는 광 집적 회로(Optical Integrated Circuit)에 있어서 중요한 요소이다. 두 부분의 출력 분기 영역에 대하여 입사광을 균일하게 나눠주는 특징을 갖고 있으며 광 스위치, Mach-Zehnder 간섭기 등에 많이 응용되고 있다. 그러나 분기 부분에서 구조적인 영향으로 손실이 발생하며, 또한 미세한 분기 부분을 제작함에 있어서 공정상의 어려움으로 인해 손실이 발생하는 경우도 있다. (중략)

This paper propose highly miniaturized active $90^{\circ}C$ phase difference power divider and combiner for application to wireless communication system. The conventional passive $90^{\circ}C$ power divider and combiner cannot be integrated on MMIC because of their very large circuit size. Therefore, the highly miniaturized active $90^{\circ}C$ phase difference power divider and combiner are required for a development of highly integrated MMIC. In this paper, the highly miniaturized active $90^{\circ}C$ phase difference power divider and combiner employing InGaAs/GaAs HBT were designed, fabricated on GaAs substrate. According to the results, the circuit size of fabricated active $90^{\circ}C$ phase difference power divider and combiner were $1.67{\times}0.87$ mm and $2.42{\times}1.05$ mm, respectively, which were 31.6% and 2.2% of the size of conventional passive branch-line coupler. The output gain division characteristic of proposed divider circuit showed 8.4 dB and 7.9 dB respectively, and output phase difference characteristic showed $-89.3^{\circ}C$. The output gain coupling characteristic of proposed combiner circuit showed 9.4 dB and 10.5 dB respectively, and output phase difference characteristic showed $-92.6^{\circ}C$. The highly miniaturized active $90^{\circ}C$ phase difference power divider and combiner exhibited good RF performances compared with the conventional passive branch-line coupler.

If an overcurrent exceeding the rated value is applied to an electric wire, the temperature of the electric wire increases, and the electric wire covering deteriorates to cause a short circuit. The upper limit temperature of the wire varies according to the magnitude of the overcurrent. When a short circuit occurs at each upper temperature limit, a cooling speed difference occurs during the solidification process due to the temperature difference between the short circuit temperature and the wire surface temperature. At this time, the pattern characteristics of the dendritic structure formed on the molten cross section are different. In this study, the upper temperature limit, which varied according to the overcurrent magnitude, was measured. At the time a short circuit occurred, the second branch spacing (dendrite Arm Spacing : DAS) of the dendrite was analyzed and the numerical value was quantified. The experimental results showed that the upper temperature limit increases with the magnitude of the overcurrent, and that the second branch spacing increases with increasing wire temperature.

In an electrical network, electrical power are transmitted by a various of protection, isolation and control electric circuit devices. This thesis deals with the protection function between circuit-breakers. The protective coordination concerns the behaviour of two devices placed in series in an electrical network, with a short-circuit downstream circuit-breaker. It has two basic principles: First, discrimination which is an increasing requirement of low voltage electrical distribution systems. Second, which is less well known: cascading, which consists of installing a device, whose breaking capacity is less than the three-phase short-circuit current at its terminals and helped by main circuit-breaker. The important advantage of cascading is to be able to install at a branch circuit-breaker of a lesser performance without endangering the safety of the installation for more economical usage. To determine and guarantee co-ordination between two circuit breakers, it is necessary to carry out a theoretical approach, first, and then confirm the results by means of standard tests. This is illustrated in appendix A of IEC 947-2.

A torsional vibration analysis of a multi-stage reduction gear box connected to a gas turbine system is presented. For a free vibration analysis the Modified Hibner Branch Method, so called "Blank Matrix Method", and the .lambda.-Matrix Method are used in the modeling and the eigenvalue solution, respectively. Also, a short circuit forced analysis of the system is performed, utilizing the energy method modeling. It is shown that the results of the free vibration analysis have the same tendency as those of the short circuit analysis. analysis.

A new auxiliary circuit for boost, buck, buck-boost, Cuk, SEPIC, and zeta converters is introduced to provide soft switching for pulse-width modulation converters. In the aforementioned family of DC-DC converters, the main and auxiliary switches turn on under zero current transition (ZCT) and turn off with zero voltage and current transition (ZVZCT). All diodes commutate under soft switching conditions. On the basis of the proposed converter family, the boost topology is analyzed, and its operating modes are presented. The validity of the theoretical analysis is justified by the experimental results of a 100W, 100 kHz prototype. The conducted electromagnetic emissions of the proposed boost converter are measured and found to be lower than those of another ZCT boost converter.

In this paper, a modified equations of the T-equivalent circuit of the transmission line with the arbitrary electrical length is suggested. The suggested equations can be calculated without limitation of the equal branch-line. So, a modified T-equivalent circuit can be made with the arbitrary position of the open-stub. Also, the modified T-equivalent circuit can be applied in the arbitrary electrical length and impedance of the transmission line. For example, the λ/4 impedance transformer is converted with 4 divided T-equivalent circuit. The converted λ/4 impedance transformer has the size reduction ratio of 39.4%.

In this paper, a high step-up DC-DC PWM converter with continuous input current and low voltage stress is presented for renewable energy application. The proposed converter is composed of a boost converter integrated with an auxiliary step-up circuit. The auxiliary circuit uses an additional coupled inductor and a balancing capacitor with voltage doubler and switching capacitor technique to achieve high step-up voltage gain with an appropriate switch duty cycle. The switched capacitors are charged in parallel and discharged in series by the coupled inductor, stacking on the output capacitor. In the proposed converter, the voltage stress on the main switch is clamped, so a low voltage switch with low ON resistance can be used to reduce the conduction loss which results in the efficiency improvement. A detailed discussion on the operating principle and steady-state analyses are presented in the paper. To justify the theoretical analysis, experimental results of a 200W 40/400V prototype is presented. In addition, the conducted electromagnetic emissions are measured which shows a good EMC performance.
