  • 반도체, 디스플레이, 태양광 등의 공정에서 사용되는 웨이퍼의 크기가 증가하고, 생산률이 플라즈마의 밀도에 비례한다는 연구 결과가 발표되면서 대면적 고밀도 플라즈마 소스 개발에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히, ECR, ICP, Helicon plasma 등 고밀도 플라즈마 소스에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라, 여러 개의 ICP를 결합한 multiple ICP를 이용해 대면적 고밀도 플라즈마 소스 개발을 진행했다. Multiple ICP의 경우 각 ICP 소스에 같은 power (current)를 공급해야만 균일한 플라즈마 방전이 발생되어 균일도를 확보 할 수 있다. Current controller 같은 추가적인 장비를 설치하지 않고, power를 분배하는 transmission line을 coaxial 형태로 설계하고 같은 길이로 병렬 연결함으로써 각각의 ICP소스에서 균일한 플라즈마를 방전시킬 수 있었다. Power generator에서 보는 각 ICP의 total impedance는 각 ICP 소스의 impedance와 coaxial 형태의 transmission line의 characteristic impedance, frequency, 길이의 함수로 구할 수 있고, 이 total impedance가 일정하기 때문에 current가 균등하게 분배되어 각 ICP소스에 균등한 power 분배가 가능한 것이다. 실질적으로 ICP 소스의 impedance는 플라즈마 방전 유무에 따라 변화하기 때문에 일정하게 유지하는 것은 어렵다. Transmission line의 characteristic을 사용함으로써 ICP의 impedance의 변화에 상관없이 Total impedance를 일정하게 유지시킴으로써 균등한 power 분배가 가능하다는 것을 연구했다. Frequency는 13,56MHz, characteristic impedance를 $50{\Omega}$ (coaxial cable)으로 고정하고, ICP 소스의 플라즈마 방전 유무/antenna turn/소스 위치에 따른 total impedance를 transmission line의 길이에 따라 측정하고, 이를 이론값, 그래프와 비교하였다. 특정 length에서 플라즈마 방전 유무(ICP의 impedance 변화)와 상관없이 비교적 일정한 total impedance를 유지하는 것을 확인 했다. 이것은 특정 길이를 갖는 coaxial형태의 transmission line를 연결하면, total impedance는 플라즈마 방전 유무로 발생하는 ICP의 impedance 변화와 상관없이 일정하게 유지되어 각 ICP소스에 균등한 파워 분배가 가능하다는 것을 보여준 결과이다. 이것을 토대로 frequency에 따라(또는 characteristic impedance에 따라) 균등한 파워 분배가 가능한 coaxial 형태 transmission line의 특정 길이를 구할 수 있고, 대면적 소스에서 균등한 파워 분배를 위한 병렬연결에 적용할 수 있을 것이다.

  • The purpose of this paper deals with direct multiple-shooting method (DMS) to resolve helicopter maneuver problems of helicopters. The maneuver problem is transformed into nonlinear problems and solved DMS technique. The DMS method is easy in handling constraints and it has large convergence radius compared to other strategies. When parameterized with piecewise constant controls, the problems become most effectively tractable because the search direction is easily estimated by solving the structured Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) system. However, generally the computation of function, gradients and Hessian matrices has considerably time-consuming for complex system such as helicopter. This study focused on the approximation of the KKT system using the matrix exponential and its integrals. The propose method is validated by solving optimal control problems for the linear system where the KKT system is exactly expressed with the matrix exponential and its integrals. The trajectory tracking problem of various maneuvers like bob up, sidestep near hovering flight speed and hurdle hop, slalom, transient turn, acceleration and deceleration are analyzed to investigate the effects of algorithmic details. The results show the matrix exponential approach to compute gradients and the Hessian matrix is most efficient among the implemented methods when combined with the mixed time integration method for the system dynamics. The analyses with the proposed method show good convergence and capability of tracking the prescribed trajectory. Therefore, it can be used to solve critical areas of helicopter flight dynamic problems.

  • In order to increase its performance, NAND flash memory-based storage is composed of data buses that are shared by a number of flash memories and uses a parallel technique that can carry out multiple flash memory operations simultaneously. Since the storage performance is strongly influenced by the performance of each data bus, it is important to improve the utilization of the bus by ensuring effective scheduling of operations by the storage controller. However, this is difficult because of dynamic changes in buses due to the unique characteristics of each operation with different timing, cost, and usage by each bus. Furthermore, the scheduling technique for increasing bus utilization may cause unanticipated operation delay and wastage of storage resource. In this study, we suggest various dynamic operation scheduling techniques that consider data bus performance and storage resource efficiency. The proposed techniques divide each operation into three different stages and schedule each stage depending on the characteristics of the operation and the dynamic status of the data bus. We applied the suggested techniques to the controller and verified them on the FPGA platform, and found that program operation decreased by 1.9% in comparison to that achieved by a static scheduling technique, and bus utilization and throughput was approximately 4-7% and 4-19% higher, respectively.

  • An optimal channel input-traffic control (OCIC) policy is proposed for slotted frequency-hopped spread-spectrum multiple access communication systems. When the number of channel input packets is set to the optimal number, the conditional throughput for the OCIC policy is analyzed. The state transition probability is derived, the steady state performance is analyzed, and the mean pracket delay is obtained. It is shown that the mean packet delay decreases considerably when the priority of transmission is given to backlogged users. The smaller is the number of requency slots, the larger are the differences between the preformance of the OCIC policy and that of the other policies.

  • This paper introduces a new paradigm of physical layer security through channel coding for wireless networks. The well known spread spectrum based physical layer security in wireless network is applicable when code division multiple access (CDMA) is used as wireless air link interface. In our proposal, we incorporate the proposed security protocol within channel coding as channel coding is an essential part of all kind of wireless communications. Channel coding has a built-in security in the sense of encoding and decoding algorithm. Decoding of a particular codeword is possible only when the encoding procedure is exactly known. This point is the key of our proposed security protocol. The common parameter that required for both encoder and decoder is generally a generator matrix. We proposed a random selection of generators according to a security key to ensure the secrecy of the networks against unauthorized access. Therefore, the conventional channel coding technique is used as a security controller of the network along with its error correcting purpose.

  • This paper demonstrates the performance of a metal-substrate power module with multiple fabricated chips for a high current electrical application, and evaluates the proposed module using a 1.5-kW sinusoidal brushless direct current (BLDC) motor. Specifically, the power module has a hybrid structure employing a single-layer heat-sink extensible metal board (Al board). A fabricated motor driver IC and trench gate DMOSFET (TDMOSFET) are implemented on the Al board, and the proper heat-sink size was designed under the operating conditions. The fabricated motor driver IC mainly operates as a speed controller under various load conditions, and as a multi-phase gate driver using an N-ch silicon MOSFET high-side drive scheme. A fabricated power TDMOSFET is also included in the fabricated power module for three-phase inverter operation. Using this proposed module, a BLDC motor is operated and evaluated under various pulse load tests, and our module is compared with a commercial MOSFET module in terms of the system efficiency and input current.

  • Control of Industrial processes is very difficult due to nonlinear dynamics, effect of disturbances and modeling errors. M.Morari proposed Internal Model Control(IMC) system that can be effectively applied to the systems with model uncertainties and time delays. The advantage of IMC is their robustness with respect to a model mismatch and disturbances. But it is difficult to apply for nonlinear systems. ANFIS(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) which contains multiple linear models as consequent part is used to model nonlinear systems. Generally, the linear parameters in ANFIS can be effectively utilized to control a nonlinear systems. In this paper, we propose new ANFIS-based IMC controller for nonlinear systems. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed control scheme has good performances.
