Heat pipes located underground in urban areas and operated under high temperature and pressure conditions can cause large-scale human and economic damage if damaged. In order to predict damage in advance, damage and construction information of heat pipe are analyzed to derive independent variables that have a correlation with frequency of damage, and a simple regression analysis modified model using each variable is applied to the field. However, as the correlation between independent variables applied to the model increases, the independence between variables is harmed and the reliability of the model decreases. In this study, the independence of the pipe diameter, burial depth, insulation level of monitoring system, and disconnection or short circuit of the detection line, which are judged to be interrelated, was tested to derive a method for combining variables and setting categories necessary to apply to the frequency of damage estimation model. For the test of independence, the continuous variables pipe diameter and burial depth were each converted into three categories, insulation level of monitoring system was converted into two categories, and the categorical variable disconnection or short circuit of the detection line status was kept as two categories. As a result of the test of independence, p-value between pipe diameter and burial depth, level of monitoring system and disconnection or short circuit of the detection line was lower than the significance level (α = 0.05), indicating a large correlation between them. Therefore, the pipe diameter and burial depth were combined into one variable, and the categories of the combined variable were set to 9 considering the previously set categories. The insulation level of monitoring system and the disconnection or short circuit of the detection line were also combined into one variable. Since the insulation level is unreliable when the detection line status is disconnection or short circuit, the categories of the combined variable were set to 3.

본 논문에서는 FM Reflectometry를 이용하여 마이크로파 대역에서 다양한 전송선로의 분산특성을 측정하였다. 실험에 사용된 전송선로는 도파관에 금속봉이 주기적으로 위치한 구조로서 Gyro-TWT의 iinteractio circuit으로 사용되기 위해서 설계되었다. 도파관에 금속봉이 주기적으로 위치한 구조의 group velocity를 측정하기 위해서 FM Reflectometry와 기존의 Network Analyzer Time Domain 기능이 사용되어졌으며, phase velocity를 측정하기위해 서 short metal plate를 이용한 방법과 High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS)가 이용되었다 측정된 결과는 이론치, 시뮬레이션과 비교했으며 각각의 비교는 잘 일치함을 보여 FM Reflectometry기법이 분산특성 측정에 사용되어질 수 있음을 보였다.

ITO thin film is generally fabricated by various methods such as spray, CVD, evaporation, electron gun deposition, direct current electroplating, high frequency sputtering, and reactive DC sputtering. However, some problems such as peaks, bumps, large particles, and pin-holes on the surface of ITO thin film were reported, which caused the destruction of color quality, the reduction of device life time, and short-circuit. Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process is one of the suitable solutions which could solve the problems.

This paper suggests a new reliable push pull converter. The proposed push-pull converter have additional two diodes comparing with conventional push-pull converter. When one of two MOSFETs of the push-pull converter is on state, the other MOSFET is automatically off state due to adding additional diodes. Therefore, the converter is under electric noise environments, the converter avoids short circuit due to turning on of two MOSFETs. In this paper, the suggested converter has been simulated by PLECS software for 100 kHz switching frequency. In simulation, the current of the converter switches increases about 10 % for $20{\mu}sec$ electric noise environments. However, the converter operates very reliably without any short circuit conditions.

This paper proposes a method of implementing an unequal power divider for high splitting ratios by using transmission lines connected with open and short stubs. The proposed method is an equivalent circuit analysis of a transmission line with an additional port so that it can be converted to an arbitrary impedance in the center of a 2-port transmission line and a 3-port transmission line with an open or short stub connected in parallel to each port. To prove the validity of this method, a Wilkinson power divider with k² = 20 dB splitting ratio and a Gysel power divider with k² = 17 dB splitting ratio were designed at a center frequency of 1 GHz using a 3-port transmission line equivalent circuit. The experimental results of the electrical characteristics are in good agreement with the simulation.

This paper proposed an Spread Spectrum Time Domain Reflectometry (SSTDR) using time-frequency correlation analysis in order to have more accurate fault determination and location detection than classical SSTDR despite increased signal attenuation due to the long distance to cable fault location. The proposed method was validated through comparison with classical SSTDR methods in open- and short-circuit fault detection experiments of low-voltage power cables. The experimental results showed that the proposed method can detect correlation coefficients at fault locations accurately despite reflected signal attenuation so that cable faults can be detected more accurately and clearly in comparison to existing methods.

In this paper, I have developed a high-speed and high-resolution measuring device in order to check the performance of drycell. The system is developed for the drycell manufacturing plant. Measuring time is one of key factors to inference on the production speed. So the developed system is designed to generate the classified result up to 1200ea/min. In the other words, each product can be classified within 25ms. There have been many studies to estimate both state of charge as well as state of health, such as OCV (Open Circuit Voltage), SC (Short Circuit) and measuring impedance with frequency pulse. But those methods take a few second due to surface discharge. To overcome the phenomenon, I developed the method to engage the reverse current to two electrodes of battery. As a result, I could achieve to measure the indigenous capacity without the problem of surface discharge.

An accurate extraction technique is developed to determine full euqivalent circuit parameters of Si MOSFETs using 1 set of measured S-parametes without complicated optimization process. This technique is based on the use of anlytic Z-parameters experessions for resistances and inductances and the Y-parameter ones for ntrinsic parameters. This accuracy is proved over the wide range of gate voltage by observing good agreement between measured and fitted Z-parameter equations and frequency-independent response of the extracted intrinsic parameters. Using this technique, gate voltage-dependencies of model parameters are obained in the saturation region and these results show the similar behavior to the short-channel effects expected from the device theory.
