본 논문에서는 ETRI에서 개발된 50 W GaN-on-SiC HEMT 소자를 이용하여 X-band에서 동작하는 50 W 펄스 전력증폭기의 개발 결과를 정리하였다. 제작된 50 W GaN HEMT 소자는 $0.25{\mu}m$의 게이트 길이를 갖고, 총 게이트 폭은 12 mm인 소자이다. 펄스 전력증폭기는 9.2~9.5 GHz 주파수 대역에서 50 W의 출력전력과 6 dB의 전력이득 특성을 나타내었다. 전력소자의 전력밀도는 4.16 W/mm이다. 제작된 GaN-on-SiC HEMT 소자와 전력증폭기는 X-대역 레이더 시스템 등 다양한 응용분야에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

K-밴드 또는 밀리터리파 대역에서 모노리딕 및 하이브리드 기판에 Surface Mounting에 의해 제작될 수 있는 여러가지 planar power divider/combiner를 CAD에 의해 최적조건으로 설계하고 그 결과를 비교 검토하였다. CAD를 위한 소프트웨어는 Supercompact를 이용하였으며 기존의 Wilkinson divider를 각 branch사이의 고주파 결합을 감소 시킬 수 있도록 수정하여 해석하였고, 또한 $2^n$-way power dividet/combiner에 있어 그 출력 임피던스가 잘 정합되지 못함에 따른 입력 반사계수의 sensitivity를 감소시키는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다.

In these days, importance of the power electronic devices and modules keeps increasing due to electric vehicles and energy saving requirements. However, current silicon-based power devices showed several limitations. Therefore, wide band gap (WBG) semiconductors such as SiC, GaN, and $Ga_2O_3$ have been developed to replace the silicon power devices. WBG devices show superior performances in terms of device operation in harsh environments such as higher temperatures, voltages and switching speed than silicon-based technology. In power devices, the reliability of the devices and module package is the critically important to guarantee the normal operation and lifetime of the devices. In this paper, we reviewed the recent trends of the power devices based on WBG semiconductors as well as expected future technology. We also presented an overview of the recent package module and fabrication technologies such as direct bonded copper and active metal brazing technology. In addition, the recent heat management technologies of the power modules, which should be improved due to the increased power density in high temperature environments, are described.

본 논문에서는 낮은 LO 입력으로 저 변환손실 특성을 갖는 MIMIC(Millimeter-wave Monolithic Integrated Circuit) V-band up-mixer를 설계 및 제작하였다. Up-mixer는 0.1 ㎛ GaAs PHEMT와 coplanar waveguide (CPW) 전송라인을 사용하여 제작되었다. Up-mixer는 60.4 GHz의 RF 주파수, 2.4 GHz의 IF 주파수와 58 GHz의 LO 주파수에서 동작되도록 설계되었다. Up-mixer는 표준 MIMIC공정을 사용하여 제작되었으며 칩 크기는 2.3 mmxl.6 mm이다. 제작된 up-mixer의 측정결과 입력신호가 -10.25 dBm 이고 LO의 입력 전력이 5.4 dBm 일 때 1.25 dB의 양호한 변환손실 특성을 얻었다. 58 GHz에서 LO 와 RF의 격리특성은 -13.2 dB를 나타내었다. 제작된 V-band up-mixer는 기존에 발표된 밀리미터파 up-mixer에 비하여 낮은 LO 입력 전력과 양호한 변환손실 특성을 나타내었다.

This paper proposes a system called Wireless Link based on Global Communication Channel (WLGCC) to enhance the spectrum sharing between digital broadcasting (DB) services and the cognitive radio (CR) system in the licensed band of 470-790 MHz. The WLGCC aims to enhance the spectrum sensing and geolocation database (GLD) spectrum sharing methods in the CR system. Spectrum sensing can be enhanced by receiving the status of the used frequencies from the WLGCC, thereby eliminating the need for a low detection threshold (i.e., avoiding the hidden node problem). In addition, the GLD can be enhanced by providing a reliable communication link between the database and the CR device in the form of an unused TV white space that is reserved as the proposed Global Communication Channel (GCC). This paper analyzes the coexistence of the new WLGCC system and the DB service in terms of avoiding additional interference. Specifically, we mathematically determine the WLGCC parameters, such as the in-band and out-of-band power levels, and operation coverage, and verify them using Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that WLGCC does not degrade the existing DB service and reliably transmits information of the vacant (or used) frequency bands to the CR.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to examine the effect of electroacupuncture(EA) at an acupoint, HT8(Sobu), on normal humans by using power spectral analysis. We examined the effect on the Heart Rate Variability(HRV), and the balance of the autonomic nervous system. Methods : Thirty-two healthy volunteers participated in this study. EEG(Electroencephalogram) power spectrum exhibits site-specific and state-related differences in specific frequency bands. A thirty-two channel EEG study was carried out on thirty-two subjects(14 males; mean age=23.5 years old, 18 females; mean age=21.5 years old). HRV and EEG were simultaneously recorded before and after acupuncture. Results : In the ${\alpha}$(alpha) band, during the HT8-acupoint treatment, the power values in the ${\alpha}$(alpha) band significantly decreased(p<0.05) at 28 channels. In the ${\beta}$(beta) band significantly decreased(p<0.05) at 26 channels. In ${\delta}$(delta) band significantly decreased(p<0.05) at 18 channels. In ${\theta}$(theta) band significantly decreased(p<0.05) at 20 channels. ${\alpha}/{\beta}$ values were increased at 6 channels and decreased at 10 channels.${\beta}/{\theta}$ values were increased at 10 channels and decreased at 19 channels. Mean-RR(RR-interval), Complexity, RMSSD(Root mean square of successive differences), SDSD(Standard deviations differences between adjacent normal R-R intervals), norm HF showed a significantly increased and mean-HRV, norm LF, LHR(LF/HF Ratio) showed a significantly decreased after HT8-acupoint treatment(p<0.05). Conclusions : These results suggest that EA at the HT8 mostly causes significant changes on alpha(28 channels), beta(26 channels), delta(18 channels), theta(20 channels) bands and mean-HRV, mean-RR, complexity, RMSSD, SDSD, norm LF, norm HF and LHR. If practicing EA at the HT8, it will regulate the function of the cerebral cortex, decrease activity of the sympathetic and increase parasympathetic nervous activity.

Problem solving and/or decision making process usually encountered in human living consists of a sequence of human behaviors based upon his/her knowledge. Thus, Rasmussen introduced Skill-Rule-Knowledge paradigm to countermeasure human errors that can occur in Nuclear Power Plants. Unfortunately however, it was not so easy as expected since objective evidence have not been obtainable with conventional research techniques. With the help of EEG band pawer ratio techniques, this study tried to get psycho-physiological symptoms of human errors, if any, while human beings perform knowledge-based behaviors such as simple arithmetic computations with different difficulty level. A set of simulated works was carried out with a computer station. Four kinds of arithmetic computation tasks were given to 10 health male under-graduate students on different day individually, and during the experiment, EEG and ECG was measured continuously for objective psycho-physiological analysis. According to the results, ${\alpha}$/(${\alpha}+{\beta}$) as well as ${\alpha}/{\beta}$ band power ratio were sensitive to task difficulty level which consistently decreased both. However, any one of them failed to reveal the influence of tasks with different difficulty level in the aspect of task duration time. On the contrary, Heart Rate Variability was more suggestive than expected. To make a conclusion, it can be said that band power of EEG waves will be helpful in not only assessment of work difficulty level but also assessment of workers' skill development if supported by cardiac function such as HRV.

In this paper, we propose a multiple slotted dual-band square patch antenna with CP(Circular Polarization) characteristic. And we present the simulation and measurement results of the design example. We designed a slotted patch antenna by using computer simulation program, Zeland IE3D, and then some tuning followed with measurements. Measured -10dB bandwidths of $S_{11}$ characteristic are 127MHz($2.346GHz{\sim}2.473GHz$) for the low-band, and 122MHz($3.379GHz{\sim}3.501GHz$) for the high-band, respectively. And measured maximum gains and half-power beamwidths are 6.94dBi, $72.95^{\circ}$ for the low-band at 2.30GHz, 5.78dBi, $76.51^{\circ}$ for the high-band at 3.45GHz, respectively.

본 보고서는 KSLV-I의 FTS에 적용하기 위한 전력분배기 형태를 결정하기 위한 자료로 작성되었다. 이를 위해 먼저 전력분배기의 주요 성능 규격을 정의하고 전력분배 방법에 따른 전력분배기를 분류하여 분류된 분배기 중, 적용 가능한 윌킨스 분배기, 쿼드라쳐 하이브리드, 링 하이브리드의 3가지 형태의 전력분배기를 선정하여 그 특성을 비교하여 보았다. 선정된 대표적 전력분배기는 구조(Schematic) 시뮬레이션과 모멘텀(Momentum) 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 제작을 위해 필요한 최적화된 특성값을 얻었다. 제작에는 유전율이 4.5 이고 유전체 두께가 1.6mm인 FR-4 Epoxy 기판을 사용하여 제작하였고, 측정에는 (주)Agilent Technology사의 8720ES Network Analyzer를 사용하여 측정을 진행하였다. 측정된 분배기의 전반적인 특성은 시뮬레이션을 통해 설계된 결과와 비슷한 성능으로 측정되었음을 확인할 수 있었고, 측정된 성능을 바탕으로 KSLV-I의 FTS에 가장 적합한 형태의 전력분배기를 선택하기 위한 성능비교를 수행하였다. 성능비교 결과, 쿼드라쳐 하이브리드 분배기를 적용하였을 때에 한 단의 분배기 만으로 KSLV-I의 FTS에서 요구되는 분배기 성능을 만족할 수 있고 전력손실도 비교된 두 형태의 분배기에 비해 우수한 것으로 비교되었다.
