This paper presents a new circuit topology of the half-bridge resonant inverter. As the proposed half-bridge inverter can be operated in the load freewheeling modes, pulse width modulation (PWM) control method can be used for the output power control. The proposed half-bridge inverter should keep unity output displacement factor under the load-impedance varying conditions, if a new PWM control scheme based on the resonant frequency tracking algorithm is adopted. In this paper, electrical characteristics, and losses analysis of the proposed half-bridge resonant inverter are described. Simulation and experimental results of the prototype experimental setup to verify the validity of the proposed half-bridge resonant inverter are presented and discussed.

We studied the possibility that an air capacitor can be used as a humidity sensor by measuring capacitance change. In order to investigate the possibility, the change of capacitance of an air capacitor due to moisture in air was first considered theoretically, and was then experimentally verified. The capacitance was measured by an LCR impedance meter with a 100-kHz and 1-V ac. The results revealed that the changes in the experimentally measured capacitances were greater than those in the theoretically calculated values. Based on this fact, we knew that an air capacitor could be used as part of a humidity sensing device. We expect the humidity sensor with an air capacitor has characteristics of fast response time, high reliability, and high durability compared with other conventional methods.

The complex resonant frequency problem of a superconductor patch is formulated in terms of an integral equation which is the kernel of a dyadic Green's function. To include the effect of the superconductivity of the microstrip patch, the surface complex impedance of the superconductor film is introduced using the two fluids model of Gorter and Casimir. The Galerkin procedure is used in the resolution of the electric field integral equation. Numerical results concerning the effect of the operating temperature of a superconductor patch on the characteristics of the antenna are presented.

현재의 전력 사용량 증가로 인해 보호설비의 보수 및 증설이 불가피하게 되었다. 계통상의 사고 전류를 제한하기 위한 방안으로 초전도 한류기의 연구 개발 중이다. 본 논문에서는 사고시 사고전류를 제한하기 위한 매트릭스형 초전도 한류기의 사고전류가 제거 된 이후 회복특성을 조사하였다. 초전도 소자의 ��치로 인해 사고전류를 제한하는 것도 중요하지만 사고 후 회복 특성 또한 계통적용에 있어 큰 영향을 미친다. 초전도 소자와 병렬 연결된 자장인가 코일의 임피던스 차이에 따른 특성을 비교하여 좀 더 나은 설계 파라미터 값을 도출하였다. 자장인가 코일의 임피던스가 커짐에 따라 초전도 소자의 전력부담을 감소시켜 회복 시간을 줄일 수 있었고, 초전도 소자의 수명에도 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents the analysis of the mode characteristics of an annular ring microstrip patch antenna for circular polarization with attachment mode using method of moments in the spectral domain. For a probe excitation, the input impedance are obtained by using the single mode approximation for both the $TM_{11}$ and $TM_{12}$ modes and compared with those by Vector Hankel Transform. While the $TM_{11}$ mode has a high Q, it is a poor radiating mode; the $TM_{12}$ mode is more suitable for antenna applications. It is also shown that the bandwidth of the $TM_{12}$ mode is wider than that of the $TM_{11}$ mode in terms of axial ratio for circular polarizatio

두 대 이상의 전원이 부하를 분담하는 경우 전원간의 통신이 없다면 여러 가지의 오차요인으로 인하여 문제가 생길 수 있다. 그래서 기존의 발전기 시스템은 이런 문제를 해결하기 위하여 droop제어를 수행하고 있다. 이와 마찬가지로 분산전원의 용량이 커짐에 따라 2대 이상의 분산전원이 병렬운전하여 고립된 계통에서 부하를 분담해야하는 경우 이들 간 통신이 없다면 문제가 된다. 그러나 발전기와는 달리 분산전원은 저압선로에서 전력을 공급하기 때문에 선로의 임피던스 특성에 따른 유 무효전력의 변동에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 분산전원의 병렬운전 시의 오차요인 계산하고 선로에 임피던스에 따른 유 무효전력의 변동을 분석하여 이를 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하고 저압선로에서의 분산전원 droop제어 방법에 대해서 연구하였다.

High-power ultrasonic promotes a chemical reaction by its own energy, thus it has been used for sonochemistry applications. For example, it has been mostly used for mixing, reaction catalyst, dispersion and disintegration. High-power ultrasonic transducer is made with structure based on a Bolt-clamped Langevin type Transducer (BLT), But it has difficulty in the development because degradation of piezoelectric ceramic by the heat generation of BLT. In this study, for a development of the transducer of 25 kHz and 1000 W used in sonochemistry and industrial cleaning, BLT with a hole in its center and tubular type waveguide of the transducer were designed based on finite element method (FEM). The transducer was fabricated based on the design parameter, and the impedance characteristics are measured experimentally and compared with the numerical results.

To obtain a low ground resistance in high resistivity soil or in insufficient place such as downtown, long vertical ground rods are often used. However, if the lightning current or fault current with high frequency flows into the grounding system, the ground impedance is significantly increased. This paper presents how the impulse current works on the long vertical ground rods with a different length. As a result, it can be estimated what the waveform is composed of and how the GPR is affected by the rate of current change.

Electrostatic discharge has been considered as a major reliability problem in the semiconductor industry. ESD reliability is an important issue for these products. Therefore, each I/O (Input/Output) PAD must be designed with a protection circuitry that creates a low impedance discharge path for ESD current. This paper presents a novel Lateral Insulated Gate Bipolar (LIGBT)-based ESD protection circuit with latch-up immunity and high robustness. The proposed circuit is fabricated by using 0.18 um BCD (bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) process. Also, TLP (transmission line pulse) I-V characteristic of proposed circuit is measured. In the result, the proposed ESD protection circuit has latch-up immunity and high robustness. These characteristics permit the proposed circuit to apply to power clamp circuit. Consequently, the proposed LIGBT-based ESD protection circuit with a latch-up immune characteristic can be applied to analog integrated circuits.

In this paper, we have developed high performance SPD(surge protective device) and evaluated the characteristics in comparison with typical SPD used in the inside and outside of the country. The new SPD was composed of MOV(metal oxide varistor), GDT(gas discharge tube) and impedance such as resistors, capacitors or varistors. To estimate operating the characteristic of the SPD which was developed, it was measured surge voltage caused by fault current or surge according to IEC 61000-4-5. As a result it was found that the power supply was cut off by high performance SPD when caused a short-circuit. In addition we could know that it could prevent ELB(earth leakage breaker)'s malfunction caused by surge.
