In this paper, a predistortion linearizer using series diode is proposed for linearizing the power amplifier in microwave radio systems. The power amplifier should be operated near saturation region to achieve high efficiency. But at this region, amplitude and phase distortions of the amplifier remarkably increase with the increase of input power and cause a significant adjacent channel interference. The linearizer is composed of a series diode with a parallel capacitor, which provides positive amplitude and negative phase deviations with the increasing input power. This type of linearizer using the nonlinearity of diode has improved the C/I(Carrier to Intermodulation Distortion) ratio well. By applying this linearizer to two-tone 880MHz power amplifier, adjacent channel leakage power is improved up to 5dBm.

In this paper, a new controller for a single-phase PWM converter is described, which requires only two input parameters, the dc voltage and the ac current. Detail simulation model with EMTDC(Electro-Magnetic Transient program for DC transmission) including power circuit and controller was developed to verify the operation of proposed controller. The application feasibility of the proposed controller was verified through experimental works with a prototype. The proposed controller has a simple structure in the point of hardware implementation, and shows excellent performance in normal operation as well as in sudden load change.

In this paper, we are proposed a 2-D zero-phase IIR second-order filter which have separable denominators. The filter combines the advantages of the separable denominator and the simplicity of the McClellan transform. Generally, the McClellan transformation is not suitable for IIR filter because the 1-D to 2-D substibution can not be achieved easily in most of denominators. So we have designed the second order denominator using a separable condition via a first order McClellan transformation. The implementation of a higher order filter can be achieved by cascading such second order parts with different coefficients in denominator. As a result, we have suppressed the ripples in stopband and obtained the narrow transition band.

We have designed and implemented an optoelectronic hardware of binary phase extraction joint transform correlator (BPEJTC) which provides higher peak-to-sidelobe ratio than many other versions of JTC that has been published so far and does not produce correlation peaks due to intra-class association, to construct a multi-target tracking system. The digital processing unit controlling the entire system plays the part of modifying and binarizing the joint transform power spectrum (JTPS) and the optical processing unit is mainly used to take fourier transform operations. Some experimental results conducted by designed system along with its architecture showed the processing rate of 6 frames per second, thereby the potential applicability of the proposed system to real-time multitarget tracking system is given.

With the advent of multimedia era, there are ever increasing interest in computer music and sound syntheis. An FM type sound synthesizing method makes possible the syntheis ofvarious sounds ofmusical instruments with a relatively simple hardware architecture. Therefore, in this paper, we designed a hardware architecture for real-time sound synthesizer and its logic gates. In this paper, we designed a basic sound generator for implementation of real-time logic gates, analzed characteristics of sounds synthesized in this architecture and extracted parameters of FM sounds of musical instruments by using the Csound software. The major bolkcs to build the hardware are a phase-generator, a singe-function-generator, an envelope-generator and a multiplier-part. Finally, logic circuits are designed and verified in VHDL and logic gates by 1.0um standard cell library, which will be easily implementable by the form of ASIC.

A high-frequency asymmetrical PWM control technique is proposed which can improve the input power factor of ac chopper and also suppress its harmonic contents of currents at both its input and load sides and the acoustic noises by its switching semiconductor devices. The ideal switching function for the proposed technique is derived and hence converted into asymmetrical PWM pattern for practical implementation of ac voltage regulator. Also the various power circuits of three phase AC choppers are suggested. The theoretical characteristics of the proposed PWM technique are investigated by digital simulation.

Frequency and phasor are the most important quantities in power system operation because they can reflect the whole power system situation. This paper proposes a design and implementation using phase angle difference calculation for frequency measuring in power system. The process is considered to be complicated as compared to the present proposed method. Performance test results, using signals from Excel program, indicate that the proposed technique can provide accurate estimates within 16ms.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a new diode clamped multilevel inverter for variable frequency drive. The diode clamp multilevel inverter has been widely used for low power, high voltage applications due to its superior performance. However, it has some limitations such as increased number of switching devices and complex PWM control. In this paper, a new topology is proposed. New topology requires only (N-1) switching devices and (N-3) clamping diodes compared to existing topology. A modified APO-PWM control method is used to generate gate pulses for inverter. The proposed inverter topology is coupled with single phase induction motor and its performance is tested by MATLAB simulation. Finally, a prototype model has built and its performance is tested with single phase variable frequency drive.

Up to date, application areas of mobile robots have been expanded. In addition, Many types of LRF(Laser Range Finder) systems have been developed to acquire three dimensional information about unknown environments. However in real world, because of various noises (sunlight, fluorescent light), it is difficult to separate reflected laser light from these noise. To overcome the previous restriction, we have developed a new type vision system which enables a mobile robot to measure the distance to a object located 1-5 (m) ahead with an error than 2%. The separation and detection algorithm used in this system consists of pulse phase difference method and multi-stripe structured light. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed vision system are demonstrated by 3-D maps of detected objects and computation time analysis.

Tuning of digital STC parameters for the system with unknown and time varying parameters as well as delays presents many preconditions and difficulties. In order to eliminate these difficulties and to enhance STC control functions, the present study employs the metbod of expert control for STC and to implement it in nod-minimum phase plants. In this paper, implimedtation of the Expert STC for process control, STC. parameters is carried out by tuning systematically and by applying these parameters to non-minimum phase plant. This controller supervises a status of the plant, and robust control function for time delay or change of the plant is demonstrated by computer simulations.
