A second harmonic millimeter wave oscillator utilizing sub-harmonic injection-synchronization is presented. A 8.7GHz oscillator with MES-FET is designed, and is driven as a harmonic output oscillator at 17.4GHz by means of sub-harmonic injection-synchronization. The oscillator operates as a multiplier as well as a oscillator in this scheme. Adopting this method, a high sable, high frequency millimeter wave source is obtainable even though self-oscillating frequency of an oscillator is relatively low. The range of injection-synchronization is about 26MHz, and is proportional to the input sub-harmonic power. The spectrum analysis of the 2nd harmonic output frequency shows remarkably decreased the phase noise level.

The back-off input power level method is generally used for design of high linear mixer. In this paper, the predistortive mixer design method which attaches the predistortor in front of mixer is proposed to compensate the nonlinear characteristics of mixer and the predistortor has inverse nonlinear characteristics of mixer. The proposed method improves C/I ratio of mixer by 22 dB (@Po=-20 dBm/tone), 21.7 dB(@Po=-17 dBm/tone) with two tones of RF at 1852.5MHz, 1857.5MHz and LO at 2015MHz, respectively.

This paper shudies an automatic gain control(AGC) algorithm used in wireless communication cellular systems. The AGC design includes the selection of the appropriate analog-to-digital converter(ADC) and keeping the input power to the ADC constant to minimize the quantization noise generated from the analog-to-digital conversion process. In this paper the process to determine the required precision or the An is illustrated and the method to set the design parameters of the AGC is proposed. And the validity of the proposed algorithm is verified by computer simulation.

In this paper, a dual-channel readout amplifier array is realized in a standard $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology for the applications of panoramic scan LADAR systems. Each channel consists of a PIN photodiode with 0.9 A/W responsivity and a 1.0 Gb/s readout amplifier(ROA). The proposed ROA shares the basic configuration of the previously reported feedforward TIA, except that it exploits a replica input to exclude a low pass filter(LPF), thus reducing chip area and improving integration level, and to efficiently reject common-mode noises. Measured results demonstrate that each channel achieves $70dB{\Omega}$ transimpedance gain, 829 MHz bandwidth, -22 dBm sensitivity for $10^{-9}BER$, -34 dB crosstalk between adjacent channels, and 45 mW power dissipation from a single 1.8 V supply.

본 논문에서는 절연타입의 Half-bridge 구조를 이용하여 입력단을 구성하고 출력단에 5레벨의 출력전압을 생성할 수 있는 새로운 구조의 멀티레벨 PWM 인버터를 제안한다. 기존의 Cascaded H-bridge 멀티레벨 인버터는 두 대의 H-Bridge 인버터 모듈을 직렬 결합하여 5레벨의 출력전압을 생성하는 방식이며, 제안하는 방식은 기존 멀티레벨 인버터의 기본 모듈인 H-bridge의 전원을 절연타입의 Half-bridge 구조를 이용하여 구성하고 스위칭 소자 1개와 다이오드 1개를 추가한 구조이다. 동일한 5레벨의 출력전압 생성 시 기존 방식은 2차 측에 8개의 스위칭 소자가 사용되는 반면 제안된 방식은 5개의 스위칭 소자와 1개의 다이오드가 사용되기 때문에 스위칭 손실 및 부피를 줄일 수 있으며 입력단과 출력단 사이의 절연으로 인한 시스템의 안정성을 확보할 수 있다. PSIM 기반의 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 멀티레벨 인버터의 타당성을 검증한다.

This paper presents a model and simulation for the korean type multi-propulsion system consisting of a gas turbine driven synchronous alternator coupled to a rectifier and dc-to-dc converter. The simulation modules include turbine system, alternator and rectifier, dc-to-dc converter, power management module. A modular, system level simulation of the propulsion system prototype is presented in order to confirm stability for loads with uncertain input impedances and uncertain control loop speeds.

The switching-mode power converter has been widely used because of its features of high efficiency and small weight and size. These features are brought by the ON-OFF operation of semiconductor switching devices. However, this switching operation causes the surge and EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) which deteriorate the reliability of the converter themselves and entire electronic systems. This problem on the surge and noise is one of the most serious difficulties in AC-to-DC converter. In the case of carrier frequency selection, output-voltage of steady state and transient state is fully regulated. A RPWM control method was proposed in order to smooth the switching noise spectrum and reduce it's level. Experimental results are verified by converter operating at 300V/1kW with 5%${\sim}$30% white noise input. Spectrum analysis is performed on the Phase current and the CM noise voltage. The former is measured with Current Probe and the latter is achieved with USN. which are connected to the spectrum analyzer respectively.

본 논문에서는 직렬로 결합된 세 개의 커패시터를 입력 전압원으로 하는 7-레벨 인버터의 입력 커패시터 전압이 불균형을 이루는 원인을 분석하고 전압 균형 제어를 적용하여 7-레벨의 출력 전압을 생성하는 방법에 대하여 제안한다. 직렬로 결합된 커패시터에서 전압 불균형이 발생되는 기본적인 원인은 커패시터의 충 방전 시간에 대한 불평형이며 이는 양방향 제어가 가능한 스위치의 ON/OFF 듀티폭 제어를 통해 해결이 가능하다. 제안하는 제어법의 타당성 검증을 위해서 제안하는 전압 균형제어 적용 전후에 대한 시뮬레이션 및 실험 결과를 제시한다.

Modern loudspeaker systems are changing an active loudspeaker system that have multiple input channels and power amplifier. So, we cannot measure these active loudspeakers with IEC 60268-5 standard. This paper introduces an IEC 60268-21 standard that can measure an active loudspeaker having many analog and digital and wireless or wired inputs and having various control parameters.

본 논문은 3레벨 정류기와 직렬 입력, 병렬 출력 LLC 컨버터가 연결된 전원 장치의 DC-Link 전압 불평형 제어에 관해 분석한다. 일반적으로 380Vac 입력을 가지는 3레벨 부스트 기반 정류기는 출력 전압을 700Vdc 이상으로 제어한다. 또한, 3레벨 컨버터는 두 개의 직렬 출력 커패시터를 가지며, 불균형 해소를 위한 제어 또는 물리적 불평형 해소 소자가 요구된다. 스위칭 신호를 공유하는 두 개의 LLC 컨버터가 연결된 시스템에 DC-Link 불평형 전압 제어가 적용되면 전력의 쏠림 현상이 발생한다. 본 논문은 제시된 시스템에서 전력의 쏠림 현상에 대해 그 원인을 분석하고 실험으로 검증한다.
