It is DC power that Output of renewable energy being recently developed and researched. Also, demand of DC power will expect to proliferate due to increase of digital load. Thus, DC distribution system providing high quality of power and reliability has emerged as a new distribution system. If the conventional distribution systems are substituted by proposed DC distribution system, the output of renewable energy can be connected with distribution systems under minimum power conversion. Therefore, in the event of connection with DC load, it can construct an efficient distribution system. In this paper, the integrated parallel operation of power conversion module for DC distribution system is proposed. Also, this paper proposed modularization of power conversion devices for DC distribution system and power control for parallel operation of large capacity system. DC distribution system consists of three power conversion modules such as AC/DC power conversion module 2 set, ESS module 1 set. DC distribution system controls suitable operation depending on the status of the DC power distribution system and load. Integrated operation of these systems is verified by simulation and experiment results.

In this study, we investigate the relationship between the peeling behavior of the backsheet of a photovoltaic(PV) module and its surface temperature in order facilitate removal of the backsheet from the PV module. At low temperatures, the backsheet does not peel off whereas, at high temperatures, part of the backsheet remains on the surface of the PV module after the peeling process. The backsheet material remaining on the surface of the PV module is confirmed by X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis to be poly-ethylene(PE). Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) is also performed to investigate the interfacial characteristics of the layers of the PV module. In particular, DSC provides the melting temperature($T_m$) of laminated ethylene vinyl acetate(EVA) and of the backsheet on the PV module. It is found that the backsheet does not peel off below the $T_m$ of ethylene of EVA, while the PE layer of the backsheet remains on the surface of the PV module above the $T_m$ of the PE. Thus, the backsheet is best removed at a temperature between the $T_m$ of ethylene and that of PE layer.

In this paper, 2.4GHz RF Module using Even Harmonic Mixer(EHM) was designed and fabricated for Direct conversion(DC) system. By minimizing performance degradation of DC system with DC offset and LO radiation, the capability of minimization and one chip solution in wireless system was proposed. The designed EHM using anti-parallel diode pair represented 9dB conversion loss and about -60dBm 2LO leakage radiation in RF port, and output reflection and reverse transmission characteristic of low noise amplifier was improved. So superior DC offset suppression characteristic is expected. RF Module which consists of EHM, LNA, RF amplifier, Frequency synthesizer and Duplexer was designed and fabricated.

MMIC circuits in whole receiver system was fabricated based on GaAs pHEMT technology. And a V-band downconverter module was fabricated by integrating these circuits. The downconverter module consists of a LO drive power amplifier which generates 24dBm output power, a low noise amplifier(LNA) which shows 20 dB small signal gain, an active parallel feedback oscillator which generates 1.6 dBm output power, and a cascode mixer which shows over 6dB conversion gain. The good conversion gain performance of our mixer made no need to attach any IF amplifier which grows conversion gain. Measured results of the complete downconverter show a conversion gain of over 20 dB between 57.5 GHz and 61.7GHz without IF amplifier.

In this paper, an A/D conversion module was designed and fabricated to improve the dynamic range of wideband digital receivers. The A/D conversion module for expanding the dynamic range converts signals into a digital signal by branching the input signal into the normal path and the amplification path according to the input signal level. Test results of the fabricated module show that the normal path of the A/D conversion module converts an input level of -57 dBm to -12 dBm into a digital signal, and the amplification path converts an input level of -30 dBm to +12 dBm into a digital signal without distortion. This translates to an input dynamic range characteristic of 69 dB. Moreover, it is confirmed that the constant output characteristic is exhibited at an instantaneous bandwidth of 100 MHz.

In this paper, a hybrid booster power module with Si IGBT and Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky Barrier Diode (SBDs) is presented. The switching characteristics of the hybrid booster module are compared with commercial Silicon IGBT/Si PIN diode based modules. We applied the booster power module into a non-isolated on board vehicle charger with a simple buck-booster topology. The performances of the on-vehicle charger are analyzed and measured with different power modules. The test data is measured in the same system, at the same points of operation, using the conventional Si and hybrid Si/SiC power modules. The measured power conversion efficiency of the proposed on-vehicle charger is 96.4 % with the SiC SBD based hybrid booster module. The conversion efficiency gain of 1.4 % is realizable by replacing the Si-based booster module with the Si IGBT/SiC SBD hybrid boost module in the 6.6 kW on-vehicle chargers.

In radar signal processing, an A/D converter with sufficient dynamic range and high sampling speed is required to detect the weakest target signals in heavy clutter and ECM environments. As the sampling frequency increases, the amount of digital data transfered to the signal processing module is also increased. To overcome these massive data transfer burden, we need an A/D conversion module with an enough data transfer rate. In this paper, we proposed an implementation scheme of a new A/D conversio module that can be used in multi-mode 3-D phased array radar signal processing system, and evaluated the performance. The proposed A/D conversion module is implemented with a standard A/D converter and a 6U-standard VME bus.
