This paper discusses a constellation design of reference stations and performance analysis of the WADGPS. It presented performance results of static and dynamic users when wide area correction algorithm was applied using eight reference stations.

This study presents a single-phase single-stage three-level AC/DC converter with a wide controllable output voltage. The proposed AC/DC converter is designed to extend the application of e-mobility, such as electric vehicles. The single-stage converter integrates a PFC converter and a three-level DC/DC converter, operates at a fixed frequency, and provides a wide controllable output voltage (approximately 200-430Vdc) with high efficiencies over a wide load range. In addition, the input boost inductors operate in a discontinuous mode to improve the input power factor. The switching devices operate with ZVS, and the converter's THD is small, especially at full load. The feasibility of the proposed converter is verified by the experimental results of a 1.5 kW prototype.

A low phase noise CMOS voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) for multi-band/multi-standard RF Transceivers is presented. For both wide tunability and low phase noise characteristics, Hybrid inductor which uses both bondwire inductor and planar spiral inductor in the same area, is proposed. This approach reduces inductance variation and presents high quality factor without custom-designed single-turn inductor occupying large area, which improves phase noise and tuning range characteristics without additional area loss. An LC VCO is designed in a 0.13um CMOS technology to demonstrate the hybrid inductor concept. The measured phase noise is -121dBc/Hz at 400KHz offset and -142dBc/Hz at 3MHz offset from a 900MHz carrier frequency after divider. The tuning range of about 28%(3.15 to 4.18GHz) is measured. The VCO consumes 7.5mA from 1.3V supply and meets the requirements for GSM/EDGE and WCDMA standard.

Two-phase flow through a T-junction has been studied by numerous researchers so far. The dividing characteristics of the gas and liquid phases at the T-junction are very complicated due to a lot of related variables. The prediction models have been suggested by using experimental data for a specific condition or working fluid. But, they showed the application limitation for the most of the other conditions or fluids. Since most of them are applicable for their own experimental range, the generalized model for the wide range of conditions and fluids is needed. Even though it's not available now, some of the models developed for air-water flow at a T-junction might be applicable for the part of refrigerants with some modifications. Especially, for the two-phase flow of refrigerants at the T-junction, very few studies have been performed. Further experimental study is required to be performed for the wide range of test conditions and fluids to predict properly the two-phase flow distribution and phase separation through the T-junction.

System identification for cylindrical oil dampers is carried out based on a series of dynamic experimental tests and theoretical approach for the analysis of the experimental data. Experimental tests are conducted using a specific hydraulic actuator in the wide frequency range from 10 Hz to 90 Hz. From this study, it is confirmed that control force of the damper is composed of inertia, damping and restoring components. In general, both restoring and damping components are significant and comparable. However, the portion of the inertia components becomes more significant than to be negligible in the high frequency range.

This paper describes sensorless high-speed control for 45,000rpm/22kw type PMSM by using iterative adaptive sliding mode observer. The proposed algorithm is based on sensorless vector control by on-line estimating the speed of rotor in the wide speed operating range between the starting operation. In addition, it shows the enhanced performance of the iterative adaptive observer by lessening its chattering and getting stable response in limited PWM period. The simulation and experiment results show the reliable performance of the proposed algorithm through starting to high speed operating range.

A Dynamic vibration absorber(DVA) is developed to reduce the excessive vibration of an optical disk drive(ODD) originated from the deriving range of an wobble disk and unbalanced disk. We design the material properties and shapes of the DVA by simulating Frequency response function(FRF) such as target frequency, mass of the DVA, stiffness of damper, damping coefficient, shape and dimension, analyze dynamic characteristics and provide its design guide line for suppressing the vibration of an optical disk derive. To examine the performance of the DVA, the vibration of the feeding system with DVA and without DAA are measured by using a three-axis accelerometer, PCB derive and Pulse analyzer. The result show that the proposed DVA reduces the vibration of wide range in ODD.

A new dual-loop digital delay-locked loop (DLL) using a hybrid (binary + sequential) search algorithm is presented to achieve both wide-range operation and high delay resolution. A new phase-interpolation range selector (PIRS) and a variable successive approximation register (VSAR) algorithm are adopted to resolve the boundary switching and harmonic locking problems of conventional digital DLLs. The proposed digital DLL, implemented in a $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process, occupies an active area of $0.19mm^2$ and operates over a wide frequency range of 0.15-1.5 GHz. The DLL dissipates a power of 11.3 mW from a 1.8 V supply at 1 GHz. The measured peak-to-peak output clock jitter is 24 ps (effective pk-pk jitter = 16.5 ps) with an input clock jitter of 7.5 ps at 1.5 GHz. The delay resolution is only 2.2 ps.

This paper presents a fast-lock dual-loop successive approximation register-controlled duty-cycle corrector (SARDCC) circuit using a mixed (binary+sequential) search algorithm. A wider duty-cycle correction range, higher operating frequency, and higher duty-cycle correction accuracy have been achieved by utilizing the dual-loop architecture and the binary search SAR that achieves the fast duty-cycle correcting property. By transforming the binary search SAR into a sequential search counter after the first DCC lock-in, the proposed dual-loop SARDCC keeps the closed-loop characteristic and tracks variations in process, voltage, and temperature (PVT). The measured duty cycle error is less than ${\pm}0.86%$ for a wide input duty-cycle range of 15-85 % over a wide frequency range of 0.5-2.0 GHz. The proposed dual-loop SARDCC is fabricated in a 0.18-${\mu}m$, 1.8-V CMOS process and occupies an active area of $0.075mm^2$.

This paper proposes current-fed bi-directional DC-DC converter using a resonance (CF-BCR) with wide output voltage range. The steady state analysis and operation principles of CF-BCR are introduced. To increase the output voltage range with satisfying soft switching condition, switching frequency, duty and number of times of the resonance are controlled. The proposed converter and its control method are verified by theoretical analysis and PSIM simulation.
