본 연구에서는 Wet chemistry damage가 Nanopatterned p-ohmic electrode에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. Nanopattern은 Metal clustering을 이용하여, P-GaN와 Ohmic형성에 유리한 Pd을 50$\AA$ 적층한 후 Rapid Thermal Annealing방법으로 $850^{\circ}C$, $N_2$분위기에서 3min열처리를 하여 Pd Clustering mask 를 제작하였다. Wet etching은 $85^{\circ}C$, $H_3PO_4$조건에서 시간에 따라 Sample을 Dipping하는 방법으로 시행하였다 Ohmic test를 위해서 Circular - Transmission line Model 방법을 이용하였으며, Atomic Force Microscopy과 Parameter Analyzer로 Nanopatterned GaN surface위에 형성된 Ni/ Au Contact에서의 전기적 분석과, 표면구조분석을 시행하였다. AFM결과 Wet처리시간에 따라서 Etching형상 및 Etch rate이 영향을 받는 것이 확인되었고, Ohmic test에서 Wet chemistry처리에 의한 Tunneling parameter와 Schottky Barrier Height가 크게 증/감함을 관찰하였다. 이러한 결과들은 Wet처리에 의해서 발생된 Defect가 GaN의 표면과 하부에서 발생되며, Deep acceptor trap 및 transfer거동과 밀접한 관련이 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 보다 자세한 Transport 및 Wet chemical처리영향에 관한 형성 Mechanism은 후에 I-V-T, I-V, C-V, AFM결과 들을 활용하여 발표할 예정이다.

The SPICE circuit analysis program has a limited math capability and, in general, cannot be used for RF and microwave simulation because a complex arithmetic is required to compute S-parameters from node voltages. This paper presents two test bench models that can be used to obtain node voltages proportional to incident, reflected, and transmitted signals. From SPICE computed node voltages, S-parameters are computed using the math capability of the PSPICE post processor, PROBE, as an example for a low-pass filter consisting of transmission line sections. The results of this example are compared with another high frequency circuit analysis program, TOUCHSTONE. The difference between the results of these two programs in magnitude was less than 0.003 and in phase was a few tenths of a degree. By using these test benchs to simulate a filter, RF and microwave analysis can be made with the SPICE, which can be a cost-effective and readily available computational tool for educators and practicing engineers.

The demand of remote control and monitoring for efficiency and applications of LED streetlight is increasing continuously because the demand of LED streetlight was increase last few years. Existing street light remote control system is wired using a power line network. The wireless connection exists, but due to its low data transmission rate, it cannot support specialized applications. It can only support simple control and monitoring. In this paper, we propose a system that uses a IEEE 802.11s wireless mesh network based on WLAN, as a backbone network for remote control and monitoring of the LED street lights along with other specialized applications. Using the wireless mesh network for remote control and monitoring the LED street lights, the same can be used to act like a public Wi-Fi access point. We have designed Wi-Fi integrated LED streetlight controller and implemented our system. We evaluated the performance of our system on a real test bed. Our proposed system is expected to perform the role of a U-city infrastructure by utilizing the wireless mesh network.

The incidence of fire in underground utility tunnel is lower than other fires, but the damage caused by fire can cause social loss due to social management paralysis as well as economic loss. Hereupon, this paper presents the results of an empirical test on the construction of the underground utility tunnel condition monitoring system using the leakage coaxial cable installed in the underground utility tunnel. For this reason, a verification test was conducted by connecting a inductive coupler 200 Mbps power line communication modem with insertion loss characteristics of $-6{\pm}2dB$ to the installed the leakage coaxial cable installed in the underground utility tunnel. As a result, We confirmed sending/receiving of IP cameras up to 500 m. Therefore, it is judged that it is possible to construct a condition monitoring system for underground utility tunnel by using the leakage coaxial cables installed in the underground utility tunnels without installing additional communication lines for data transmission.

The cultivation area for domestic cabbage increased by 26.3% from 10,968 ha in 2019 to 13,854 ha in 2020, and among leafy vegetables, the cabbage cultivation area was 62%, and production was 78.9%. Demand for field crop production of cabbage, which has a relatively high-income level compared to rice farming, is increasing, and mechanization of the field operation is urgently needed due to the insufficient development of related farming machinery. In this study, a prototype fabrication and performance test of a tractor-attached cabbage collector was carried out. The transport section was divided into two parts, one for the feeding and transportation and the other for the screening and packaging to selectively collect cabbages in bulk bags or boxes. The length of the primary collecting conveyor was designed to meet the field conditions of the Korean cabbage cultivation standards so that six cultivation rows could be worked simultaneously. Power was controlled by a hydraulic transmission line of the tractor and was easily mounted onto the 3-point hitch links behind the tractor. When the performance was evaluated, the transfer rate, loss rate, damage rate, and work performance were 100, 0, 1.2%, and 1.9 h·10 a^-1. Final improvement and commercialization of the prototype would considerably contribute to the mechanization of harvesting cabbage, the main ingredient of Kimchi.

Recent underground common utility tunnels are underground facilities for jointly accommodating more than 2 kinds of air-conditioning and heating facilities, vacuum dust collector, information processing cables as well as electricity, telecommunications, waterworks, city gas, sewerage system required when citizens live their daily lives and facilities responsible for the central function of the country but it is difficult to cope with fire accidents quickly and hard to enter into common utility tunnels to extinguish a fire due to toxic gases and smoke generated when various cables are burnt. Thus, in the event of a fire, not only the nerve center of the country is paralyzed such as significant property damage and loss of communication etc. but citizen inconveniences are caused. Therefore, noticing that most fires break out by a short circuit due to electrical works and degradation contact due to combustible cables as the main causes of fires in domestic and foreign common utility tunnels fire cases that have occurred so far, the purpose of this paper is to scientifically analyze the behavior of a fire by producing the model of actual common utility tunnels and reproducing the fire. A fire experiment was conducted in a state that line type fixed temperature detector, fire door, connection deluge set and ventilation equipment are installed in underground common utility tunnels and transmission power distribution cables are coated with fire proof paints in a certain section and heating pipes are fire proof covered. As a result, in the case of Type II, the maximum temperature was measured as $932^{\circ}C$ and line type fixed temperature detector displayed the fire location exactly in the receiver at a constant temperature. And transmission power distribution cables painted with fire proof paints in a certain section, the case of Type III, were found not to be fire resistant and fire proof covered heating pipes to be fire resistant for about 30 minutes. Also, fire simulation was carried out by entering fire load during a real fire test and as a result, the maximum temperature is $943^{\circ}C$, almost identical with $932^{\circ}C$ during a real fire test. Therefore, it is considered that fire behaviour can be predicted by conducting fire simulation only with common utility tunnels fire load and result values of heat release rate, height of the smoke layer, concentration of O2, CO, CO2 etc. obtained by simulation are determined to be applied as the values during a real fire experiment. In the future, it is expected that more reliable information on domestic underground common utility tunnels fire accidents can be provided and it will contribute to construction and maintenance repair effectively and systematically by analyzing and accumulating experimental data on domestic underground common utility tunnels fire accidents built in this study and fire cases continuously every year and complementing laws and regulations and administration manuals etc.

In this study, we applied the low temperature curing Ag paste to replace PVD System. The electrode formation of low temperature curing Ag paste for silicon Hetero-junction solar cells is important for improving device characteristics such as adhesion, contact resistance, fill factor and conversion efficiency. The low temperature curing Ag paste is composed various additives such as solvent, various organic materials, polymer, and binder. it depends on the curing temperature conditions. The adhesion of the low temperature curing Ag paste was decided by scratch test. The specific contact resistance was measured using the transmission line method. All of the Ag electrodes were experimented at various curing temperatures within the temperature range of $160^{\circ}C-240^{\circ}C$, at $20^{\circ}C$ intervals. The curing time was also changed by varying the conditions of 10-50min. In the optimum curing temperature $200^{\circ}C$ and for 20 min, the measured contact resistance is $19.61m{\Omega}cm^2$. Over temperature $240^{\circ}C$, confirmed bad contact characteristic. We obtained photovoltaic parameter of the industrial size such as Fill Factor (FF), current density (Jsc), open-circuit voltage (Voc) and convert efficiency of up to 76.2%, 38.1 mA/cm2, 646 mV and 18.3%, respectively.

In this paper, the design and implementation of high-power PIN diode switch modules and high-speed switch driver circuits are presented for Wibro base stations. To prevent isolation degradation due to parasitic inductances of conventional packaged PIN diodes and to improve power handling capabilities of the switch modules, bare diode chips are used and carefully placed in a PCB layout, which makes bonding wire inductances to be absorbed in the impedance of a transmission line. The switch module is designed and implemented to have a maximum performance while using a minimum number of the diodes. It shows an insertion loss of ${\sim}0.84\;dB$ and isolation of 80 dB or more at 2.35 GHz. The switch driver circuit is also fabricated and measured to have a switching speed of ${\sim}200\;nsec$. The power handling capability test demonstrates that the module operates normally even under a digitally modulated 70 W RF signal stress.
