The proposed detector is consists of three-phase sinusoidal signal generator and peak detector. This peak detector can detect the peak voltage value at the state of variable frequency. In experi-ment three-phase sinusoidal signals are generated from D/A converter using IBM PC and deliv-ered to the peak detector. Each signals are squared by multiplier and summed up Peak value is the square root of summed value extracted by square root circuit.

In the present paper, a novel fast peak detector for single- or three-phase unsymmetrical voltage sags is proposed. The proposed detector is modified from a single-phase digital phase-locked loop based on a d-q transformation using an all-pass filter (APF). APF generates a virtual phase with $90^{\circ}$ phase delay. However, this virtual phase cannot reflect a sudden change of the grid voltage in the moment of voltage sag, which causes a peak value to be significantly distorted and to settle down slowly. Specifically, the settling time of the peak value is too long when voltage sag occurs around a zero crossing, such as phase $0^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$. This paper describes the operating principle of the APF problem and proposes a modified all-pass filter (MAPF) to mitigate the inherent APF problem. In addition, a new fast peak detector using MAPF is proposed. The proposed detector is able to calculate a peak value within 0.5 ms, even when voltage sag occurs around zero crossing. The proposed fast peak detector is compared with the conventional detector using APF. Results show that the proposed detector has faster detection time in the whole phase range. Furthermore, the proposed fast peak detector can be effectively applied to unsymmetrical three-phase voltage sags. Simulation and experimental results verify the advantages of the proposed detector and MAPF.

본 논문에서는 펄스방사선 선량 측정을 위한 Peak Detector를 설계하였다. 펄스방사선은 수ns ~ 수십ns의 초고속의 신호로 Peak 값을 측정하기 어렵다. Peak Detector는 센서에서 발생한 Peak 전압을 수ms 동안 유지하므로 ADC를 이용하여 데이터를 쉽게 측정할 수 있다. Peak Detector 시뮬레이션 결과 Peak 값을 1ms 이상 유지하는 것을 확인하였으며 펄스방사선 조사시험 결과 $1.95{\times}10^6rad/s$의 선량을 확인하였다.

단일 핵종의 붕괴시 방출된 두 감마선이 함께 검출기에 흡수될 때 cascade summing이 일어난다. 이 효과는 일부 핵종에서 10% 이상의 계통적 오차를 야기한다. 이들 동시합성 효과를 추산하기 위해 검출기 주위에서 측정한 피크-토탈 비를 사용하여 그 효과를 직접 계산하였다. 검출기 주번에서 주어진 에너지에 대한 피크-토탈 비는 일정하지 않을 수 있으며, 따라서 측정된 값의 평균을 사용하여야 한다 산란 물체에 의한 피크-토달 비의 영향에 대한 결과도 함께 포함되어 있다.

방사선이 존재하는 환경에서 무색, 무미, 무촉의 방사선을 검출하기 위한 계측장비는 매우 중요하며 그동안 방사선 계측장비의 개발에 대한 많은 연구들이 있었다. 특히 방사선을 검출한 이후 측정된 검출신호를 손실 없이 효율적으로 처리하기 위해 검출된 미세전류를 전압형태로 정형하고, 이를 정확하게 판독하는 신호처리 부분은 매우 중요하다. 검출된 방사선 신호파형을 판독할 때, 지금까지는 신호의 전압파형을 짧은 시간 동안 일정한 값으로 유지시켜 파형의 크기를 판독한 후, 그 전기적인 값을 방전하고 다음 파형에 대비하는 피크홀드방식을 사용하였다. 이 연구에서는 방사선 검출기에서 측정된 검출신호 전압파형의 판독을 피크홀드방식이 아닌, 전압신호의 파고 정점에 이르는 시간을 포착하여 그 값을 직접 판독하는 방식을 제안한다. 이 방식에 의하면 전압 파고를 일정한 시간동안 유지하거나, 유지된 전압 파고를 초기상태로 만드는 복잡한 과정을 거치지 않고 검출된 방사선 신호를 정확하게 판독할 수 있다는 장점을 가지며, 실제 시뮬레이션을 통하여 이를 검증하였다.

This paper presents a fast received signal strength indicator (RSSI) circuit for wireless communication application. The proposed circuit is developed using power detectors and an analog-to-digital converter to achieve a fast settling time. The power detector is consisted of a novel logarithmic variable gain amplifier (VGA), a peak detector, and a comparator in a closed loop. The VGA achieved a wide logarithmic gain range in a closed loop form for stable operation. For the peak detector, a fast settling time and small ripple are obtained using the orthogonal characteristics of quadrature signals. In $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process, the RSSI value settles down in $20{\mu}s$ with power consumption of 20 mW, and the maximum ripple of the RSSI is 30 mV. The proposed RSSI circuit is fabricated with a personal handy-phone system transceiver. The active area is $0.8{\times}0.2\;mm^2$.

In this paper, a new sag and peak voltage detector is proposed for a single-phase inverter using delta square operation. The conventional sag detector is from a single-phase digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) that is based on d-q transformations using an all-pass filter (APF). The d-q transformation is typically used in the three-phase coordinate system. The APF generates a virtual q-axis voltage component with a 90° phase delay, but this virtual phase cannot reflect a sudden change in the grid voltage at the instant the voltage sag occurs. As a result, the peak value is drastically distorted, and it settles down slowly. A modified APF generates the virtual q-axis voltage component from the difference between the current and the previous values of the d-axis voltage component in the stationary reference frame. However, the modified APF cannot detect the voltage sag and peak value when the sag occurs around the zero crossing points such as 0° and 180°, because the difference voltage is not sufficient to detect the voltage sag. The proposed algorithm detects the sag voltage through all regions including the zero crossing voltage. Moreover, the exact voltage drop can be acquired by calculating the q-axis component that is proportional to the d-axis component. To verify the feasibility of the proposed system, the conventional and proposed methods are compared using simulations and experimental results.

The diode characteristics for therapy radiation sensor have been studied by irradiating therapy radiation from the MM22 microtron accelerator. Signal processing has been performed in the pulse mode which can process the signal fast. We have designed integrator, peak detector and synchronization circuit to detect diode signal in the pulse mode for implementation of portal image. We also read the diode signal by A/D board and displayed the peak value with LabView program. Because the quality of portal image obtained by film in the case of therapy radiation is much worse than that of diagnostic film, Digital radiography system by rectifier diode detector was suggested for portal Image.

This paper describes the measured results upon monochromatic light, compound light, and light emanated from light emitting diodes by a simplified wavemeter with a semiconductor color sensor. Since a single unit element of a semiconductor color sensor with two PN junction photodiodes has been developed, the author has fabricated the simplified wave detector by using the element. The simplified wive detector has been measured results upon monochromatic light, compound light, and light emanated from light emitting diodes. Since luminescent color of each diode locates in luminosity region, comparison of measured values of PD-150 and PD-151 resulted no remarkable difference in averaged wave length. As for monochromatic light, PD-151 showed very cross value to the color filter peak value rather than PD-150. As for compound light, PD-150 has shown such influence of long wave length light which reaches to near infrared ray with respect to PD-151.
