In this paper, variable gain amplifier(VGA) with a gain slope controller has been proposed and verified by circuit simulations and measurements. The proposed VGA has a gain control, gain slope switch and variable gain range. The input source coupled pair with diode connected load is used for VGA gain stage. The gain slope controller with switch can control VGA gain slope. The proposed VGA is fabricated in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process for multi -standard wireless receiver. The proposed two stage VGA consumes min. 2.0 mW to max. 2.6 mW in gain control range and gives input IP3 of -3.77 dBm and NF of 28.7 dB at 1.8 V power supply under -25 dBm, 1 MHz input. The proposed VGA has 37 dB(-16 dB $\sim$ 21 dB) variable gain range, and 8 dB gain range control per 0.3 V control voltage, and can provide variable gain, positive and negative gain slope control, and gain range control. This VGA characteristics provide design flexibility in multi-standard wireless receiver.

This paper provides a technical review of speed control using variable gain PI algorithm for BLDC(Brushless DC) motor. Usually the PI control is used in many motor applications, but a general PI control has problems of overshooting and disturbance for response. By the change of PI gain in motor control operation, these problems can be solved. To find the optimized PI gains for BLDC motor control, many control methods have been proposed. In this paper, the control algorithm with a variable PI gain is applied to improve overshooting response in transient region and rapid load disturbance rejection. Fixed gain and variable gain PI controls are compared. The validity of the propose method is verified by experiment.

Fixed-gain and variable-gain PID control of tension in the winding section of a simple web transport system were evaluated. An open-loop mathematical model for the web transport system was derived and used for the design of the PID controllers. The winding roll radius is a timevarying parameter in the model. The fixed-gain PID controller designed at a particular instant of time could not meet the desired specifications, whereas the variable-gain PID controller could produce accurate tension control in the winding section. An advantage of the variable-gain control is its simplicity. This approach is easy to implement and shows promise for applications where the time-varying parameters are easily measured.

A monolithic SiGe HBT variable gain driver amplifier(VGDA) with high dB-linear gain control and high linearity has been developed as a driver amplifier with ground-shielded microstrip lines for 5-GHz transmitters. The VGDA consists of three blocks such as the cascode gain-control stage, fixed-gain output stage, and voltage control block. The circuit elements were optimized by using the Agilent Technologies' ADSs. The VGDA was implemented in STMicroelectronics' 0.35${\mu}m$ Si-BiCMOS process. The VGDA exhibits a dynamic gain control range of 34 dB with the control voltage range from 0 to 2.3 V in 5.15-5.35 GHz band. At 5.15 GHz, maximum gain and attenuation are 10.5 dB and -23.6 dB, respectively. The amplifier also produces a 1-dB gain-compression output power of -3 dBm and output third-order intercept point of 7.5 dBm. Input/output voltage standing wave ratios of the VGDA keep low and constant despite change in the gain-control voltage.

본 논문에서는 5.25 GHz에서 넓은 이득 제어범위를 갖는 저전력 가변 이득 프론트-엔드를 설계하였다. 넓은 이득 제어범위를 갖기 위해, 제안된 저잡음 증폭에서는 가변이득 증폭기의 소스에 p-타입 트랜지스터를 연결하였다. 이 방법을 통해 증폭기의 바이어스 전류와 소스 임피던스를 동시에 조절할 수 있었다. 따라서 제안된 저잡음 증폭기는 넓은 이득 제어범위를 갖는다. 믹서에서는 입력 트랜스컨덕턴스단으로 p-타입 트랜지스터를 사용한 폴디드 구조가 제안되었다. 이 구조에서 믹서는 작은 공급 전압에서 각 단에 필요한 만큼의 전류만 흘려주기 때문에 저전력에서도 작동을 할 수 있다. 제안된 프론트-엔드는 최대 33.2 dB의 이득과 17 dB의 넓은 이득 제어범위를 갖는다. 이 때, 잡음지수와 IIP3는 각각 4.8 dB, -8.5 dBm을 갖는다. 이러한 동작을 하는 동안, 제안된 회로는 최대 이득상태에서 7.1 mW, 최소 이득상태에서 2.6 mW의 적은 전력을 소비한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 TSMC $0.18\;{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정에서 Cadence를 이용하여 얻어졌다.

The dynamics of the winder roller of a roll-to-roll printing system for printed electronics is a time-varying system because of the variation of the winder roller radius owing to rewinding or unwinding of the web. Therefore, an adaptive control method considering the time-variant characteristics is required for precise tension control. In this study, the variable PID gain method is applied to the actual roll-to-roll system and verified by experiments for unwinder tension control. The required value of the winder roller radius for the application of the variable PID gain is estimated from the measurement of the winder tension and winder motor torque. The simulation results as well as experimental results show that the fixed PID gain control cannot stabilize the tension of the winder roller with varying winder roller radius. On the other hand, the variable PID gain method can control the tension of the winder roller regardless of the winder roller radius.

This paper presents the digital control of single-phase power factor correction(PFC) converter which has the variable gain according to the condition of inner control loop error. Generally the gain of inner current control loop in single-stage PFC converter has a constant magnitude. This has a bad influence on the power factor because current loop doesn't operate smoothly in the condition that input voltage is low In particular a digital controller has more time delay than an analog controller and degrades This drops the phase margin of the total digital PFC system,. It causes the problem that the gain of current control loop isn't increased enough. In addition the oscillation happens in the peak value of the input voltage open loop PFC system gain changes according to ac input voltage. These aspects make the design of the digital PFC controller difficult The digital PFC controller presented in this paper has a variable gain of current control loop according to input voltage. The 1kW converter was used to verify the efficiency of the digital PFC controller.
