In this paper, a low-cost, flexible GPS simulator based on USRP is designed as a general-purpose software wireless front-end. The simulator consists of a software GPS signal generator and a USRP-based RF transmitter. The simulator supports various scenarios including specified reception time, quantization bit level, I/Q data types, IF frequency, sampling frequency, SNR, ionospheric delay and user dynamics. The generated GPS RF signal is verified using the spectrum analyzer and off-the-shelf GNSS receivers such as U-blox M8T. The experimental results shows that the difference between generated and real live signal is ignorable. It is expected that designed GPS simulator can be used to GNSS signal design, receiver design and signal processing algorithms such as anti-jamming.

초음파신호를 이용하여 두 물체 사이의 거리를 측정할 수 있도록 초음파신호를 발생시키고 이를 수신하여 증폭하는 프론트-앤드 IC를 설계하였다. 40[kHz]~300[kHz]의 초음파 신호를 발생시켜서 피에조진동자를 통해 간헐적으로 송신하는 회로와 피에조 수신기에서 받은 미세한 반사 신호를 증폭하여 노이즈를 제거한 후 처음 송신된 신호와의 시간 차이를 펄스폭으로 출력하고 이를 이용하여 물체사이의 거리를 계산할 수 있는 기능을 내장하였다. 본 설계에서는 두 가지 기술을 작용하여 기능을 개선하였다. 첫째, 주파수 자동조정(SFC) 회로이다. OTA회로의 gm을 가변시켜 초음파 신호발생기의 출력주파수와 수신단의 밴드패스필터의 중심주파수가 서로 연동되도록 조정해 줌으로써 신호 복원을 용이하게 하였다. 둘째, 가변 이득 조절회로(VGC)이다. 이 회로는 두 물체사이의 거리에 상관없이 수신되는 신호의 진폭이 일정하도록 동작하는 기능을 한다. 또한, 출력레벨변환회로를 적용하여 송신신호의 진폭을 40[V]로 상승시켜 측정거리를 늘리는 시도를 하였다. 시뮬레이션을 위한 공정은 0.6um] 급, 40[V] CMOS 공정을 사용하였다. 전원전압 5[V], 소비전력은 약 12[mW]정도이다. 회로의 규모가 최소화 되어 있고 외부소자 수를 줄였기 때문에 휴대형기기에 편리하게 사용할 수 있게 하였다.

A design method for a teleoperator robot system is presented in this paper. The control system consists of two phases; approach phase and contact one. The end-effector position of the estimated slave robot and the contact force between the end-effector and wall are displayed on the monitors at control site, using which the operator controls the teleoperator system. The approach phase controller is designed using Smith's principle and the contact one designed based upon the structured singular value ${\mu}$ in order to increase the robustness of the system. The uncertainatices such as communication time delay and the variations of system parameters are considered as a muliplicative pertubation. Computer simulations are conducted in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed design method. It is found that desirable control performance, especially in the contact phase, is obtained if the control mode is switched into contact phase when the estimated position of the slave robot end-effector is in front of the wall.

This paper addresses the structural design of the front end of Siemens ER24 locomotive body. The steel structure of the frontend is replaced with composite. Optimization of the composite lay-up is performed using Genetic Algorithms. Initially an optimized single design for the entire structure is presented. Then a more refined optimum is developed by considering the separate optimization of 7 separate regions of the structure. Significant savings in the weight of the structure are achieved.

Generally, over 95% of manufacturing cost is determined in the design and manufacturing preparation step, especially a great part of productivity is determined in the manufacturing preparation step. In order to improve the manufacturing competitiveness, we have to verify the problems that can be occurred in the production step and remove the unnecessary factors in the manufacturing preparation step. Thus, manufacturing industries are adopting digital manufacturing system based on modeling & simulation. In this paper, we introduce e-FEED system (electronic based Front End Engineering and Design) that is the integrated design and analysis system for optimized manufacturing line development based on simulation automation and explain the work process (Design, Analysis and Optimization) about manufacturing line development using e-FEED system. Also, the effect is described through the real implementation cases.

Recently, with increasing efficiency of DSC (photo-electrochemical using a nano-particle), The Performance of DSC solar generation system also needs improvement. The approach consists of a Fly-back DC-DC (transfer ratio 1:10) converter to boost the DSC cell voltage to 300VDC. The four switch (MOSFET) inverter is employed to produce 220V, 60Hz AC outputs. High performance, easy manufacturability, lower component count., safety and cost are addressed. Protection and diagnostic features form an important part of the design. Another highlight of the proposed design is the control strategy, which allows the inverter to adapt to the: requirements of the load as well as the power source. A unique aspect of the design is the use of the DSP TMS320LF2406 to control the inverter by current and voltage feed-back. Efficient and smooth control of the: power drawn from the DSC Cell is achieved by controlling the front end DC-DC converter in current mode.

Most recently, offshore Engineering & Construction field is concerned about integration management technology such as CIM(Computer Integrated Manufacturing), PDM(Product Data Management) and Enterprise Information Engineering in order to cope with the rapid change of engineering and manufacturer specification as per owner's requirement during construction stage of the project. System integration and integrated data modeling with relational database in integration management technology improve the quality of product and reduce the period of the construction project by reason of owing design information jointly. This paper represents the design methodology of system integration using Business Process Reengineering by the case study. The case study is about the offshore plant material information process from front end engineering design to detail engineering for the construction and the basis of monitoring system by integrating and sharing the design information between the 2D intelligent P&ID and 3D plant modeling using relational database. As a result of the integrated data modeling and system integration, it is possible to maintain the consistency of design process in point of view of the material balancing and reduce the design assumption/duration. Near future, this system will be expanded and connected with the MRP(Material Requirement Planing) and the POR (Purchase Order Requisition) system.

In this paper, a down-converter that can work for L-band RF front-end of DMB receiver is designed. Since DRK-02, a reference for our work, had been designed for a stationary receiver, not for mobile one, the supply voltage is set relatively high of 8.5V. We improve it with 3.3V and save design space and cost by employing only one Mixer and IF_Amp comparing to the reference one in which two Mixers and two IF_Amps are used.

본 논문에서는 사각형 패치가 종단에 장하된 소형 직렬 급전 다이폴 쌍(series-fed dipole pair; SDP) 안테나를 제안하였다. SDP 안테나의 폭을 줄이기 위해 두 다이폴 소자의 두 팔의 종단과 접지면의 양끝에 사각형 패치가 추가되었다. 사각형 패치의 길이와 폭에 따른 입력 반사계수와 같은 안테나 성능의 변화를 분석하였다. 1.7-2.7 GHz 대역에서 동작하는 최적화된 소형 SDP 안테나를 설계하여 FR4 기판 상에 제작하였다. 제작된 안테나의 폭은 기존의 SDP 안테나와 비교하여 14.3% 줄었다. 제작된 SDP 안테나를 측정한 결과, VSWR이 2 이하인 임피던스 대역폭은 48.7%(1.68-2.76 GHz), 이득은 5.6-6.0 dBi으로 기존 SDP 안테나와 유사하며 전후방비는 0.7-7.4 dB 향상되었다.
