This paper proposes a nonisolated, bidirectional, soft-switching DC - DC converter with PWM plus phase shift (PPS) control. The proposed converter has an input-parallel/output-series configuration and can achieve the interleaving effect and high voltage gains, resulting in decreased voltage ratings in all related devices. The proposed converter can operate under zero-voltage switching (ZVS) conditions for all switches in continuous conduction mode. The power flow of the proposed converter can be controlled by changing the phase shift angle, and the duty is controlled to balance the voltage of four high voltage side capacitors. The PPS control device of the proposed converter is simple in structure and presents symmetrical switching patterns under a bidirectional power flow. The PPS control also ensures ZVS during charging and discharging at all loads and equalizes the voltage ratings of the output capacitors and switches. To verify the validity of the proposed converter, an experimental investigation of a 2 kW prototype is performed in both charging and discharging modes under different load conditions and a bidirectional power flow.

With a remote operated manipulator system, the situation at a remote site can be rendered through remote visualized image to the operator. Then the operator can quickly realize situations and control the slave manipulator by operating a master input device based on the information of the virtual image. In this study, the remote operator visual support system (ROVSS) was developed for viewing support of a remote operator to perform the remote task effectively. A visual support model based on virtual environment was also inserted and used to fulfill the need of this study. The framework for the system was created by Windows API based on PC and the library of 3D graphic simulation tool such as ENVISION. To realize this system, an operation test environment for a limited operating site was constructed by using experimental robot operation. A 3D virtual environment was designed to provide accurate information about the rotation of robot manipulator, the location and distance of operation tool through the real time synchronization. In order to show the efficiency of the visual support, we conducted the experiments by four methods such as the direct view, the camera view, the virtual view and camera view plus virtual view. The experimental results show that the method of camera view plus virtual view has about 30% more efficiency than the method of camera view.

This paper presents the vergence control of a parallel stereo camera and its application to underwater stereo camera to enhance the working efficiency of underwater vehicles that equips with manipulators in seabed operation. The stereo camera consists of two parallel lenses mounted on a lateral moving base and two CCD cameras mounted on a longitudinal moving base, which is embedded in a small pressure canister for underwater application. Because the lateral shift is related to the backward shift with a nonlinear relation, only one control input is needed to control the vergence and focus of the camera with a special driving device. We can get a clear stereo vision with the camera for all the range of objects in air and in water, especially in short range objects. The control system of the camera is so simple that we are able to realize a small stereo camera system and to apply it to a stereo vision system for underwater vehicles. This paper also shows how to acquire the distance information of an underwater object with this stereo camera. Whenever we focus on an underwater object with the camera, we can obtain the three-dimensional images and the distance information in real-time.

The object of this paper is to investigate a PCM telemetry system which is designed and constructed in individual modules for an airborne remote measurement system for the first time in Korea. The time division multiplexing PCM encoder has maximum allowable input channels 64 words/frame, 140kbits/sec bit rate. 200frames/sec and 10 bits/wod resolution. And the transmitting unit is designed for 2.2-2.3GHz(s-band) telemetry frequency band, PCM/FM modulation. The Study of airborne PCM telemtry system contribute to develop a device which can acquire various technical data of newly developing flying vehicles by remote measurement. The performance of the proposed system has been verified through a seguence of tests.

This paper presents an implementation scheme of real-time lane and vehicle detection system with FPGA and DSP. In this type of implementation, defining the functionality of each device in efficient manner is of crucial importance. The FPGA is in charge of extracting features from input image sequences in reduced form, and the features are provided to the DSP so that tracking lanes and vehicles are performed based on them. In addition, a way of seamless interconnection between those devices is presented. The experimental results show that the system is able to process at least 15 frames per second for video image sequences with size of $640{\times}480$.

This papers describes two low-noise amplifiers that use the Hewlett-Packard ATF-10236 low noise GaAs FET device, The actual measured performance of the amplifiers compares favorably to that predicted by the computer simulation(ADS) the noise figure of the 1575MHz amplifier was measured at 1.78dB which is lower that 2dB as specified. Measurement gam measured 33.0075dB which is within 35dB$\pm$0.5㏈ of the GPS specification. Network Analyzer(HP8510) is used to measure all the s-parameters and Noise Figure meter(HP8970B) is used to measure noise figure. As the result of experiment, gain, input VSWR, output VSWR is within the GPS specification sufficiently.

This paper proposes a fault diagnosis method of the line-to-line voltage sensors in 3-phase AC/DC pulse width modulation (PWM) converters. The line-to-line voltage sensors are an essential device to obtain the information of the grid voltages for controlling the 3-phase AC/DC PWM converters. If the line-to-line voltage sensors are mismeasured by various faults, the voltage sensors can obtain wrong information of the grid voltage. It has an adverse effect on the control of the converter. Therefore, the converter causes the unbalance input AC current and the DC-link voltage ripple in the 3-phase AC/DC PWM converter. Hence, fast fault detection and fault tolerant control are needed. In this paper, the fault diagnosis method is proposed and verified through simulations and experiments.

In this paper, we designed power divider that using cellular and PCS band as 2-way device, because each port of designed power divider have reversion that is used to divide the power or compose the power in case of the 2 way, if input port of characteristic impedance with 50$\Omega$ is loading the power then size and phase of power appear on two output port being shared to two parts equally. Usually, divider have division effect of 3dB, but divider have insertion loss when designed in this paper, we have the purpose to design that have good isolation and design that equal insertion loss with minimum insertion loss in the broadband.

In order to display Bayer input stream received from CMOS image sensor to the display device, image signal processing must be performed. That is, the hardware performing the image signal processing for Bayer data is called ISP(Image Signal Processor). We can see real image through ISP processing. ISP executes functionalities for gamma correction, interpolation, color space conversion, image effect, image scale, AWB, AE and AF. In this paper, we obtained the optimum algorithm through software verification of ISP module for CMOS camera image sensor and described using VHDL and verified in ModelSim6.0a simulator. Also we downloaded into Xilinx XCV-1000e for the designed ISP module and completed the board level verification using PCI interface.
