In this paper, degradation in field-aged PV modules including degradation of interconnect, discoloration of encapsulant and hot spot have been observed and analyzed. From the results, photovoltaic module installed for 6 years shows around 16 % drop of electrical properties due to the interconnect degradation and PV module passed 18 years has been found to drop of around 20 % mainly by the encapsulant discoloration. Furthermore the difference between low and high temperature of PV array at hot spot goes up to 3$0^{\circ}C$ and it leads to interconnect degradation. On the other hands, the temperature difference was observed to be around 15$^{\circ}C$ at the encapsulant discoloration spot of PV array.

A large amount of processing time is required if the process of detecting the touch position on the touch screen and displaying it on the display panel is performed only by software. In this paper, we propose a method to output information touched on the screen using H/W method in order to improve the response speed delay. In the FPGA module designed for the HDMI signal output to the display module, the touch information is input to the serial data signal including touch coordinate information, point size, and color information. Then the module render the image using HDMI signal input to the module and the touch information. This method has a pipeline structure so it has effect of reducing the delay time that occurs in outputting the touch information compared with the conventional software processing method.

In the previous study, a new LTCC material in the $PbWO_{4}-TiO_{2}-B_{2}O_{3}-CuO$ system was introduced. The developed material can be sintered at $850^{\circ}C$ and its dielectric properties are $\varepsilon_{r}=20-25$, $Q{\times}f_{o}=30000\sim50000GHz$, and $\tau_{f}=0.2{\sim}30ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively. Therefore this material can be used as a LTCC substrate material for fabrication of multilayered high frequency communication module set. In present study, using this material, tape casting condition was established. With this condition, a multilayered resonator was fabricated and its electrical properties were examined. In present study, an antenna-duplexer module was also fabricated. Frequency characteristics of as-fabricated antenna-duplexer module was compared with simulation results.

Long-term stability of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) module is critical for the commercialization. We investigated the effect of sealing technology on the long-term stability of the $10cm{\times}11cm$ sized DSSC modules. We applied the concept of secondary sealing to the module and then performed several stability tests such as humidity cycle, 1 sun light soaking and outdoor stability tests. The enhanced stability was confirmed for the DSSC module employing optimized sealing materials and architectures.

In this paper, we have designed and fabricated a receiver module for 5.8GHz Microwave Wireless Power Transmission. The receiver module was composed of an antenna, BPF (Band Pass Filter) and RF-DC converter. The antenna was designed to RHCP (Right Hand Circular Polarization). And we used ${\lambda}g/2$ open-circuited stubs for the BPF. In addition, the RF-DC converter used the tripler voltage circuit for voltage multipliers. The integrated receiver RF module for 5.8GHz Microwave Wireless Power Transmission has been designed and fabricated. The voltage was measured to the distance of 50cm.

In this paper, we studied the optical property of transparent glasses for photovoltaic module manufacturing. The glass should have high mechanical and chemical resistance from outside environmental. Also optical transparency is a key requirement for better electrical performance. In here, we examine several kinds of transparent glasses and special purpose ones. This would give some real information for understanding PV module. The further analysis is described in the following paper.

In present study, using this material, tape casting condition was established. With this condition, a multilayered resonator was fabricated and its electrical properties were examined. In present study, an antenna-duplexer module was also fabricated. Frequency characteristics of as-fabricated antenna-duplexer module was compared with simulation results.

Nowadays, the study on the ceramic components and modules using LTCC is being performed and on the passives included in modules is being done also. But the characteristics of passives changes in ceramic module due to the coupling between patterns, so each block in module must be analyzed in the state of module including coupling factors. In our research each block of VCO, resonator part, oscillator part, output part is measured and analyzed and that allows the prediction of behavior of VCO.

In this paper, we investigated the effect of solar cell breakage on maximum output power of PV module. The test result using artificial light source didn't give any change in output power in case of crack near electrical ribbon. Also, there was a reduction in output power in case of increasing of crack area far from electrical ribbon. But, this experiment is under artificial light source test method. So, when such a PV module is outdoor for a long time, there would be problems on electrical output power and durability because of thermal aging phenomenon of solar cell breakage.

전자 산업의 발달로 인해 전자기기에 소형화, 경량화 및 다기능화가 요구되면서 민쇄회로기판(PCB)에도 고밀도화, 고집적회가 필요하게 되었다. 이에 따라 embedded passive 기술을 이용하여 기판 내부에 가능한 많은 수동소자들을 실장시키려는 노력이 진행되어지고 있다. 가장 수요가 많은 capacitor의 경우 부피와 전기적 특성 측면에서 내장 효과가 가장 큰 passive 소자에 해당한다. 본 연구에서는 내장형 capacitor의 유전재료로서 중요한 $BaTiO_3$ powder를 filler로 사용하여 epoxy/BT 복합체에서 filler의 분율에 따른 유전상수률 측정하고, filler의 열처리에 따른 유전상수의 변화를 관찰하였다. 그러고 이들 복합체의 mixing rule과 미세구조 관찰을 통하여 기판용 RCC 소재로서의 적용성을 평가하고자 하였다.
