This paper presents a myoelectric hand prosthesis(MHP) with two degree of freedom(2-DOF), which consists of a mechanical hand, a surface myoelectric sensor(SMES) for measuring myoelectric signal, a control system and a charging battery. The actuation for the 2-DOF hand functions such as grasping and wrist rotation was performed by two DC-motors, and controlled by myoelectric signal measured from the residual forearm muscle. The grip force of the MHP was automatically changed by a mechanical automatic speed reducer mounted on the hand. The skin interface of SMES was composed of the electrodes using the SUS440 metal in order to endure a wet condition due to the sweat. The sensor was embedded with a amplifier and a filter circuit for rejecting the offset voltage caused by power line noises. The control system was composed of the grip force sensor, the slip sensor, and the two controllers. The two controllers were made of a RISC-type microprocessor, and its software was executed on a real-time kernel. The control system used Force Sensing Resistors, FSR, as slip pick-ups at the fingertip of a thumb and the grip force information was obtained from a strain-gauge on the lever of the MHP. The experimental results were showed that the proposed control system is feasible for the MHP.

In the aerospace industry, we have produced various models according to operational conditions and the environment after development of the base model is completed. Therefore, when design change is necessary, there are modification and updating costs of the circuit whenever environment variables change. For these reasons, recently, in various fields, system designs that can flexibly respond to changing environmental conditions using field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are attracting attention, and the rapidly changing aerospace industry also uses FPGAs to organize the system environment. In this paper, we design the controller area network (CAN) intellectual property (IP) protocol used instead of the avionics protocol that includes ARINC-429 and MIL-STD-1553, which are not suitable for small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems at the register transistor logic (RTL) level, which does not depend on the FPGA vender, and we verify the performance. Consequentially, a Spartan 6 FPGA model-based system on chip (SoC) including an embedded system is constructed by using the designed CAN communications IP and Xilinx Microblaze, and the configured SoC only recorded an average 32% logic element usage rate in the Spartan 6 FPGA model.

본 논문은 마이크로스트립 전송선로에 삽입된 주파수 선택 표면(FSSs)을 사용하여 주기적인 구조를 갖는 대역저지필터(BSF)에 관한 것이다. 제안된 대역저지필터는 변형된 크로스 루프 슬롯 (Cross-loop slot)을 단위 셀로 하여 주기적인 구조로 설계하였으며, 설계된 대역 저지 필터는 등가회로 모델과 분산 도표(dispersion diagram)로 해석하였다. 대역 저지 필터의 중심주파수(fo)는 6.6 GHz이다. 제안된 필터는 단위 셀의 개수가 증가하면 3dB 대역폭은 넓어지고 삽입손실은 줄어드는 특성이 있다. 또한 제안한 대역저지필터는 소형의 평면구조를 가지며, 한 번의 에칭으로 제작이 가능 하여 다양한 분야의 RF 필터로서 사용 가능성이 높다.

Recent advancement in wireless communications and electronics has enabled the development of low power sensor network. Wireless sensor network are often used in remote monitoring control applications, health care, security and environmental monitoring. Wireless sensor networks are an emerging technology consisting of small, low-power, and low-cost devices that integrate limited computation, sensing, and radio communication capabilities. Sensor network platform for health care has been designed, fabricated and tested. This system consists of an embedded micro-controller, Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver, power management, I/O expansion, and serial communication (RS-232). The hardware platform uses Atmel ATmega128L 8-bit ultra low power RISC processor with 128KB flash memory as the program memory and 4KB SRAM as the data memory. The radio transceiver (Chipcon CC1000) operates in the ISM band at 433MHz or 916MHz with a maximum data rate of 76.8kbps. Also, the indoor radio range is approximately 20-30m. When many sensors have to communicate with the controller, standard communication interfaces such as Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) or Integrated Circuit ($I^{2}C$) allow sharing a single communication bus. With its low power, the smallest and low cost design, the wireless sensor network system and wireless sensing electronics to collect health-related information of human vitality and main physiological parameters (ECG, Temperature, Perspiration, Blood Pressure and some more vitality parameters, etc.)

In this paper, a hybrid multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna for eight-band mobile handsets is designed and implemented. For the MIMO antenna, two hybrid antennas are laid symmetrically and connected by an interconnection tie, thereby enabling complementary operation. The tie affects both the impedance and radiation characteristics of each antenna. Further, printed circuit board (PCB) embedded type is applied to the antenna design. To verify the results of this study, we designed eight bands-LTE class 12, 13, and 14, CDMA, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS, and WCDMA-and implemented them on a bare board the same size as the real board of a handset. The voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is within 3:1 over the entire design band. Antenna isolation is less than -15 dB at the lower band, and -12 dB at the WCDMA band. Envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) of 0.0002-0.05 is obtained for all bands. The average gain and efficiency are measured to range from -4.69 dBi to -2.88 dBi and 33.99% to 51.5% for antenna 1, and -4.74 dBi to -2.97 dBi and 33.45% to 50.49% for antenna 2, respectively.

다중출력 LDO 레귤레이터는 다양한 공급 전압이 필요한 임베디드 시스템에서 변환 효율을 개선할 수 있는 방안이 된다. 다중 출력을 위한 시분할 구조에서 LDO의 피드백 인자가 작아지면 정착시간이 길어져서 리플 전압이 커진다. 제안하는 토폴로지에서는 기준 전압을 가변하여 일정한 피드백 인자를 구현함으로써 정착시간과 리플 특성을 개선한다. $0.35{\mu}m$ 표준 CMOS 공정으로 설계한 4 채널 프로토타입의 시뮬레이션 결과 제안하는 구조는 피드백 인자가 0.4 이하인 기존 회로보다 정착시간과 리플 특성이 2배 이상 개선되는 것을 입증하였다.

In this paper, we have designed a 2 stage MMIC power amplifier which has flat gains of in-band and reasonable out-band cutoff characteristics using 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ MESFET libra교 of ETRI. For the 1st stave, we obtaind P$_{1dB}$ of 9.2 dBm and gain 10.8 dB using 6 finger D-MESFET and P$_{1dB}$ of 18.4 dBm and gain of 10.8 dB using 14 finger D-MESFET for the 2nd stage, which is power matched using LIBRA's embedded TUNER. Also in-band gain flatness and out-band cutoff characteristics are obtained by attaching LC tank in the output matching circuit. The designed 2 stage MMIC power amplifier has bandwidth of 0.95～2.8 GHz, gain of 20 dB and P$_{1dB}$of 17.2 dBm. Especially gain flatness of $\pm$0.8dB was obtained in 1.8～2.5 GHz frequency ranges. And chip size is 1.4$\times$1.4 mm..4 mm.
