In this study, we design a low-cost test equipment for real-time image observation and transmission/reception distance test using 1m by 1.5m bang-pai kite. The image observation is made by using two servo motors to enable the camera to control the two axis attitude. The image observation equipment is hung on the string of a kite and the test is performed to observe the real time image. The transmission and reception distance test of the wireless RF transceiver module is conducted on the ground and in the air.

In this paper, we show the implementation of the low-cost RF transceiver module for parking control system. Super regenerative receiver scheme was adopted for this module due to its simplicity, low-cost, low power consumption and small number of components to improve reliability of the systems. For improving communication error rate by collision and in-band noise, dual-channel hopping scheme was adopted. Testing prototypes under the environment of simultaneous transmissions, we verified that the designed scheme is able to improve the success rate of data transmission of wireless parking control system cost effectively.

This paper proposes the Low Cost Class-E Converter with Power Conversion Operation of Piezoelectric Transformer. The Power Piezoelectric transformer capacity used in the proposed circuit is 15W and the electric equivalent circuit is presented. Class E type converter has some merits such as small component count, small size, and low cost. The topology has also ZVS conditions for main switch, thus in efficiency aspect, it is also competitive for commercial feasibility. The analysis and design guideline are suggested and also they are verified by experimental results.

Since organic thin film transistor (OTFT) provides simple and low cost processes, its application to the OTFT display has been studied. We developed an RC oscillator using organic thin film transistor and inverters with bootstrapping transistors. Device parameters were optimized by the simulation and OTFT RC oscillators were fabricated. The oscillator frequency and its dependence on resistance and bias voltage were studied. The organic TFT is adequate for low cost and simple process integrated circuits. The frequency of oscillation was simulated and measured. It is acceptable for low-cost microelectronic device and flat panel displays.

This paper presents an three dimension attitude of inertial navigation system(INS) for managing a transporter in shipyard by using low-cost inertial sensors. The GPS(Global Positioning System) shade field prevents from receiving information of position through GPS satellites, GIS(Geographic Information System) in shipyard, therefore TNS system plays an important part. This system is composed of tiny low-cost gyroscopes, accelerometers and a magnetic compass, and 3-dimension position is estimated by an indirect Kalman filter using the outputs of these inertial sensors.

In this paper, a simplified maximum power point tracking technique for the solar charger is presented. Main advantages of the proposed charger include low cost and optimized charge time. The maximum power point tracking method is used to deliver the maximum power from PV array to the battery thereby reducing the charge time. Moreover, the proposed technique which tracks the maximum power point by adjusting output current helps reduce the quantity of required number of sensors for the charger. The experimental protype was implemented by using an 80W PV array, a buck converter and a digital signal processor to verify the feasibility of the proposed method.

The application of a discrete pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (p-HEMT) as a grounded switch allows for the development of low cost phase shifters and phase modulators operating in a Ku band. This fills the gap in the development of phase control devices comprising p-i-n diodes and microwave monolithic integrated circuits (MMICs). This paper describes a discrete p-HEMT characterization and modeling in switching mode as well as the development of a low-cost four-bit phase shifter and direct quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulator. The developed devices operate in a Ku band with parameters comparable to commercially available MMIC counterparts. Both of them are CMOS compatible and have no power consumption. The parameters of the QPSK modulator are very close to the requirements of available standards for satellite earth stations.

Localization which estimates a robot's position and orientation in a given environment is very important for mobile robot navigation. Although low-cost sensors are preferred for practical service robots, they suffer from the inaccurate and insufficient range information. This paper proposes a novel approach to increasing the success rate of low-cost sensor-based localization. In this paper, both the previous and the current data obtained from the IR sensors are used for localization in order to utilize as much environment information as possible without increasing the number of sensors. The sensor model used in the monte carlo localization (MCL) is modified so that the accumulated range information may be used to increase the accuracy in estimating the current robot pose. The experimental results show that the proposed method can robustly estimate the robot's pose in indoor environments with several similar places.

The inaccuracy of inertial sensors used in low cost IMU's limits the usage to ARS, at best. Sensor fusion technologies are widely used to overcome this problem. GPS is the most popular secondary sensor, but GPS alone cannot fully compensate the IMU errors in the initial alignment process and rectilinear flights. This paper presents a new concept of aiding the low cost IMU with the sun line of sight vector. The simulation and experimental results in this paper proves that aiding of INS/GPS with the sun line of sight vector increases the observability and improves accuracy remarkably.
