In this paper, a simple yet efficient auto mode-hop ripple control structure for buck converters with light load operation enhancement is proposed. The converter, which operates under a wide range of input and output voltages, makes use of a state-dependent hysteretic comparator. Depending on the output current, the converter automatically changes the operating mode. This improves the efficiency and reduces the output voltage ripple for a wide range of output currents for given input and output voltages. The sensitivity of the output voltage to the circuit elements is less than 14%, which is seven times lower than that for conventional converters. To assess the efficiency of the proposed converter, it is designed and implemented with commercially available components. The converter provides an output voltage in the range of 0.9V to 31V for load currents of up to 3A when the input voltage is in the range of 5V to 32V. Analytical design expressions which model the operation of the converter are also presented. This circuit can be implemented easily in a single chip with an external inductor and capacitor for both fixed and variable output voltage applications.

본 논문에서는 광대역 주파수 범위에서 동작하며 광각 빔 조향이 가능하고 반복 제작이 용이한 간단한 구조의 전자전장비용 소형 마이크로스트립 로트만 렌즈를 제안하였다. 렌즈를 2차원의 평행판 회로로 모델링한 후 둘레 전체에 대해 경계적분을 수행하고 8개의 빔포트와 8개의 배열포트 간 전달계수를 구하였으며, 제작된 렌즈의 회로망 측정결과와 잘 일치하는 결과를 얻었다. 선형배열안테나로 급전된 다중빔 패턴을 예측하여 제작렌즈가 3:1의 주파수 대역에 걸쳐 $\pm$65$^{\circ}$ 이상의 광각 빔 스캔과 $\pm$5 dB 이하의 삽입손실 편차를 가짐을 확인하였다.

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on the double wide band gap emissive layers in the range of 380 nm to 440 nm are reported. An efficient electroluminescence with a maximum at 400nm was observed at room temperature under a forward bias about 10V. With the wide band gap organic materials for near-ultraviolet emission, the low operating voltage (5V) and high current efficiency (3 cd/A) have been obtained at $2mA/cm^2$

This paper has been studied analysis and design of microstrip Rotman lens operating over wide band and wide steering angle by the contour integral method along with the segmentation method. All mutual coupling, internal reflections between ports with exponential taper are taken into account. Equally spaced ports are designed and realized which gives less amplitude ripple at array ports. The measured results of 12 input and 12 output lens show $\pm$1.8 dB insertion loss deviation over 6~18GHz wide frequency range and beam steering accuracy less than 1$^{\circ}$ over $\pm$53$^{\circ}$ angle and agrees well with the analysis results.

For many industrial processes there are good static models used for process design and steady state operation. By using system identification techniques, it is possible to obtain black-box models with reasonable complexity that describe the system well in specific operating conditions [1]. But black-box models using inductive modeling(IM) is not suitable for model based control because they are only valid for specific operating conditions. Thus we need to use deductive modeling(DM) for a wide operating range. Furthermore, deductive modeling is several merits: First, the model is possible to be modularized. Second, we can increase and decrease the model complexity. Finally, we are able to use model for plant design. Power plant must be able to operate well at dramatic load change and consider safety and efficiency. This paper proposes a simplified nonlinear model of an industrial boiler, one of component parts of a power plant, by DM method and applies optimal control to the model.

In the present paper, we focus on the flow computation of a low head Propeller turbine at a wide range of design and off-design operating conditions. First, we will present the results on the efficiency hill chart prediction of the Propeller turbine and discuss the consequences of using non-homologous blade geometries for the CFD simulation. The flow characteristics of the entire turbine will be also investigated and compared with experimental data at different measurement planes. Two operating conditions are selected, the first one at the best efficiency point and the second one at part load condition. At the same time, for the same selected operating points, the numerical results for the entire turbine simulation will be compared with flow simulation with our standard stage calculation approach which includes only guide vane, runner and draft tube geometries.

In this study, the computer program was developed to predict the engine performances and exhaust emissions of a 4-cylinder 4-stroke cycle ignition engine including intake and exhaust system. The simulation models applied to each process were as follows. For the combustion process, two zone model which requires only one empirical constant was applied, and for the gas exchange process, the method of characteristics that allows the calculations of the time variation and spatial variation of properties along the pipes was used. Constant pressure perfect mixing model was applied to take into account of the interaction at manifold branches. To predict exhaust emissions, twelve chemical species were considered to be present in combustion products. These species were calculated through equilibrium thermodynamics and kinetic theory. The empirical constants reduced to least number as possible were determined through the comparison with the experimental indicator diagram of one particular operating condition and these constants were applied to other operating conditions. The predicted performances and emissions were compared with the experimental results over the wide range of operating conditions.

High speed serial link에 적합한 clock multiphase generator용 integrated phase-locked loop (PLL)을 설계하였다. 설계된 PLL은 programmable current mirror를 사용하여 동작 범위 안에서 동일한 loop bandwidth와 damping factor를 가진다. 또한 설계한 PLL 회로 netlists를 가지고 HSPICE 시뮬레이션을 통해 close-loop transfer function과 VCO의 phase noise transfer function을 구하였다. Board 위 칩의 자체 임피던스는 decoupling capacitor의 크기와 위치에 따라 계산된다. 세부적으로, close-loop transfer function에서 gain의 최대값과 VCO noise transfer function에서 gain의 최대값 사이의 주파수범위에서 decoupling capacitor의 크기와 위치에 따른 보드 위 칩의 자체 임피던스를 구하였다. 이를 바탕으로 보드에서의 decoupling capacitor의 크기와 위치가 PLL의 jitter에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 설계된 PLL은 1.8V의 동작 전압에서 400MHz에서 2GH의 wide operation range를 가지며 $0.18-{\mu}m$ EMOS공정으로 설계하였다. Reference clock은 100MHz이며 전체 PLL power consumption은 1.2GHz에서 17.28 mW이다.

This paper focused on the design of an efficient temperature controller for a plant with a wide range of operating temperatures. The greater the temperature difference a plant has, the larger the nonlinearity it is exposed to in terms of heat transfer. For this reason, we divided the temperature range into five sections, and each was modeled using ARMAX(auto regressive moving average exogenous). The movement of the dominant poles of the sliced system was analyzed and, based on the variation in the system parameters with temperature, optimal control parameters were obtained through simulation and experiments. From the configurations for each section of the temperature range, a temperature-based gain-scheduled controller (TBGSC) was designed for parameter variation of the plant. Experiments showed that the TBGSC resulted in improved performance compared with an existing proportional integral derivative (PID) controller.
