The tracking radar system is installed and operated on the ground, ships, and aircraft, and requires a design to withstand electromagnetic interference with nearby electronic devices. In this case, radiation and immunity standards for cable connection must be satisfied to prevent malfunction of other equipment due to electromagnetic wave interference caused by cables connected to the tracking radar. The radiation standard must also be satisfied so that the electromagnetic wave noise generated and radiated from the tracking radar does not affect the peripheral device, so that the immunity standard for the electromagnetic wave emitted from the peripheral device must be satisfied. In this paper, we propose a design to satisfy MIL-STD-461G including CE, CS, RE, and RS, and explain design satisfaction through tests.

CNTFET, which is receiving high attention as a next-generation semiconductor candidate due to its higher performance and various utilization than traditional silicon-based semiconductor devices, is having difficulty in commercialization because its unique process deviation such as CNT placement has not yet matured. To overcome this difficulty, numerous studies have been continuously conducted to take advantages of CNTFET and compensate its weakness by implementing circuits, which are less affected by process deviation due to repetitive circuit placement, into MOSFET-CNTFET based hybrid circuits. This paper compares how much the performance of the hybrid SRAM can be changed by semiconductor process variation existing in the traditional MOSFET SRAM or CNTFET SRAM. Simulation results show that, if the CNT density can be maintained between 7 and 9 per 32nm, hybrid SRAM is about 2.6 times and about 1.1 times more robust to process deviation than conventional MOSFET SRAM in read and write operations, respectively.

Recently, as the size of display devices tends to increase and taking pictures with smart phones has become commonplace, the need for taking high-resolution pictures with smart phones is increasing. However, when the lens size of a camera is limited, such as in a smartphone, there is a physical limit to increasing the resolution of a photo. This paper is about a technique for increasing the resolution of a picture even when using a small-sized lens like a smartphone camera. It is to take multiple pictures while moving the smartphone, and to increase the resolution by combining these pictures into one picture. First of all, two pictures were taken while moving the smartphone horizontally for the 2D picture. Processes such as camera matrix estimation, and homograph inverse transformation were performed using OpenCV, and the resolution was improved by synthesizing one picture. It was confirmed that the resolution was improved in parts such as oblique lines or arcs on several test pictures.

The AlGaN/GaN heterostructure has high electron mobility due to the two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) layer, and has the characteristic of high breakdown voltage at high temperature due to its wide bandgap, making it a promising candidate for high-power and high-frequency electronic devices. Despite these advantages, there are factors that affect the reliability of various device properties such as current collapse. To address this issue, this paper used metal-organic chemical vapor deposition to continuously deposit AlGaN/GaN heterostructure and SiN passivation layer. Material and electrical properties of GaN HEMTs with/without SiN cap layer were analyzed, and based on the results, low-frequency noise characteristics of GaN HEMTs were measured to analyze the conduction mechanism model and the cause of defects within the channel.

Silver nanowire-based transparent electrodes are very attractive as a next-generation flexible and transparent electrode that can replace ITO-based flexible electrodes because they have excellent conductivity, transmittance and mechanical flexibility. However, weak understanding of the silver nanowire solution for the fabrication of silver nanowire-based transparent electrodes often cause abnormal operation of the electrical device or peeling problem of the electrode films when applied to electronic devices. Here, we studied a Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) adhesion promoter, which is one of the additives for silver nanowire solution, to improve the understanding of silver nanowire solution. In detail, it is characterized how the HPMC changes the properties of silver nanowire solution and silver nanowire film, which is fabricated with silver nanowire solution including the HPMC adhesion promoter. As the characteristics of solution, polar surface tension and dispersive surface tension were measured. As the film characteristics, surface energy, surface morphology, silver nanowire density, and sheet resistance were analyzed.

Among efforts to improve techniques for the chemical vapor deposition of large-area and high-quality graphene films on transition metal substrates, being able to reliably transfer these atomistic membranes onto the desired substrate is a critical step for various practical uses, such as graphene-based electronic and photonic devices. However, the most used approach, the wet etching transfer process based on the complete etching of metal substrates, remains a great challenge. This is mainly due to the inevitable damage to the graphene, unintentional contamination of the graphene layer, and increased production cost and time. Here, we report the systematic study of an H₂ bubbling-assisted transfer technique for graphene films grown on Cu foils, which is nondestructive not only to the graphene film but also to the Cu substrate. Also, we demonstrate the origin of the graphene film tearing phenomenon induced by this H₂ bubbling-assisted transfer process. This study reveals that inherent features are produced by rolling Cu foil, which cause a saw-like corrugation in the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/graphene stack when it is transferred onto the target substrate after the Cu foil is dissolved. During the PMMA removal stage, the graphene tearing mainly appears at the apexes of the corrugated PMMA/graphene stack, due to weak adhesion to the target substrate. To address this, we have developed a modified heat-press-assisted transfer technique that has much better control of both tearing and the formation of residues in the transferred graphene films.

Cloud-based technology is used in different organizations around the world for various purposes. Using this technology, the service providers provide the service mainly SaaS, PaaS and while the cloud service consumer consumes the services by paying for the service they used or accessed by the principle of "pay per use". The customer of the services can get any services being at different places or locations using different machines or electronic devices. Under the conditions of being well organized and having all necessary infrastructures, the services can be accessed suitably. The identified problem in this study is that cloud providers control and monitor the system or tools by ignoring the calculation and consideration of various faults made from the cloud provider side during service delivery. There are currently problems with ignoring the consumer or client during the monitoring and mentoring system for cloud services consumed at the customer or client level by SLA provisions. The new framework was developed to address the above-mentioned problems. The framework was developed as a unified modeling language. Eight basic components are used to develop the framework. For this research, the researcher developed a prototype by using a selected cloud tool to simulate and java programming language to write a code as well as MySQL to store data during SLA. The researcher used different criteria to validate the developed framework i.e. to validate SLA that is concerned with a cloud service provider, validate what happened when the request from the client-side is less than what is specified in SLA and above what is specified in SLA as well as implementing the monitoring mechanism using the developed Monitoring component. The researcher observed that with the 1st and 3rd criteria the service level agreement was violated and this indicated that if the Service level agreement is monitored or managed only by cloud service prover, there is a violation of LSA. Therefore, the researcher recommended that the service level agreement be managed by both cloud service providers and service consumers in the cloud computing environment.

Bluetooth is a common wireless technology that is widely used as a connection medium between various consumer electronic devices. The Bluetooth receiver usually adopts a Viterbi algorithm to improve signal-to-noise ratio performance, but requires complex hardware and calculations for continuous search and estimation for the irrational modulation indexes at the transmission. This paper proposes a non-coherent maximum estimation based 8-State Viterbi FSM to solve these complexity problems. The proposed optimal Viterbi FSM can detect Gaussian frequency-shfit keying symbol without any prior information and estimation for the modulation indexes. The HV1/HV2 packets are used for the estimation of the proposed algorithm and the simulation results have shown performance improvements with about 2dB for 10^-3 BER compared to other ideal approaches such as decision direct method.

Lithium-ion battery has been used for lots of electronic devices. With the popularization of batteries, researchers have focused on batteries' electrochemical performances by environmental conditions, such as temperature, vibration, shock and charging state. Meanwhile, due to very serious global warming, car companies have started using lithium-ion batteries even in cars, replacing internal combustion engines. However, batteries have been developed based on non-moving systems which is totally different from vehicles. In the line of the differences, researchers have tried to reveal relationship between variables from dynamic systems and batteries. In this review, we discuss the comprehensive effect of vibration and shock on batteries. We firstly summarize vibration profiles and effect of normal vibration on batteries. We also sum up effect of shock and penetration on batteries and introduce how ultrasound influences on batteries. Lastly, outlook for the battery design as well as dynamic design of EVs are discussed.

This study uses first-principles calculations to investigate the mechanical properties and effect of strain on the electronic properties of the 2D material 1H-PbX₂ (X: S, Se). Firstly, the stability of the 1H Pb-dichalcogenide structures was evaluated using Born's criteria. The obtained results show that the 1H-PbS₂ material possesses the greatest ideal strength of 3.48 N/m, with 3.68 N/m for 1H-PbSe₂ in biaxial strain. In addition, 1H-PbS₂ and 1H-PbSe₂ are direct semiconductors at equilibrium with band gaps of 2.30 eV and 1.90 eV, respectively. The band gap was investigated and remained almost unchanged under the strain ε_xx but altered significantly at strains ε_yy and ε_bia. At the fracture strain in the biaxial direction (19 %), the band gap of 1H-PbS₂ decreases about 60 %, and that of 1H-PbSe₂ decreases about 50 %. 1H-PbS₂ and 1H-PbSe₂ can convert from direct to indirect semiconductor under the strain ε_yy. Our findings reveal that the two structures have significant potential for application in nanoelectronic devices.
