Do-Hyun Kim,Joung-Hu Park 전력전자학회 2013 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.13 No.2

This paper proposes a high efficiency step-down flyback converter using a coaxial-cable coupled-inductor which has a higher primary-secondary flux linkage than sandwich winding transformers. The structure of the two-winding coaxial cable transformer is described, and the coupling coefficient of the coaxial cable transformer and that of a sandwich winding transformer are compared. A circuit model of the proposed transformer is also obtained from the frequency-response curves of the secondary short-circuit and of the secondary open-circuit. Finally, the performance of the proposed transformer is validated by the experimental results from a 35W single-output flyback converter prototype. In addition, the proposed two-winding coaxial transformer is extended to a multiple winding coaxial application. For the performance evaluation of the extended version, 35W multi-output hardware prototype of the DC-DC flyback converter was tested.

In order to design coaxial-type Ground Heat Exchangers (GHEXs) efficiently, the effect of components (i.e, heat exchange pipe and grouting material) on the thermal performance of coaxial-type GHEXs should be identified in advance. In this paper, three coaxial-type GHEXs with different configurations were constructed in a test bed. Then, the effect of heat exchange pipes and grouting materials on the thermal performance of coaxial-type GHEXs was investigated by performing in-situ thermal response tests (TRTs) and thermal performance tests (TPTs). In the TRTs, the effective thermal conductivities of the coaxial-type GHEXs with concrete grouting and STS pipes were improved by 6.15 and 22.7%, respectively compared to those of bentonite grouting and HDPE pipes. Additionally, in the TPTs, the use of concrete grouting and STS pipes in the coaxial-type GHEXs enhanced the in-situ thermal performance by 15 and 33.8%, respectively.

고온온열치료(Hyperthermia)용 안테나의 성능은 안테나의 임피던스 매칭과 안테나 주위 조직의 SAR 분포에 의해서 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 FDTD 해석법을 이용하여 coaxial-slot 안테나를 계단형(staircasing)으로 근사화하여 분석하였고, 가열 특성을 개선시킬 수 있는 Hyperthermia용 안테나를 설계하였다. 계단형과 구형(square) 모델로 근사화한 coaxial-slot 안테나에서 간에 유기되는 SAR 값을 분석하였고 두 모델의 SAR 값을 Saito의 측정결과와 비교해 보았으며 그 결과 계단형 모델이 구형 모델 보다 측정결과에 가까운 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 안테나에서 유기되는 SAR 값은 1g 평균 첨두치가 195 W/kg으로 Saito가 제안한 안테나의 SAR 값인 152.5 W/kg에 비해 대략 27.9 %도 증가한 값으로 나타났다. Performance of the applicator for hyperthermia is determined by both the degree of impedance matching and specific absorption rate(SAR) distribution in the surrounding tissue. In this paper, the coaxial-slot antenna using staircasing approximation in the FDTD is analyzed and the coaxial-slot antenna for the hyperthermia improving heating characteristics is designed. The SAR of the coaxial-slot antenna approximated to staircasing and square model is analyzed, and the SAR of staircasing model is compared with Saito's SAR measurement and square model. As a result, the SAR of proposed model exhibited agreement with the Saito's measurement of square model. Ig averaged SAR on the liver caused by proposed antenna in this paper is 195 W/kg, and is about 27.9 % higher than the Saito's antenna 152.5 W/kg, respectively.

Heat transfer rate is a very important factor for the performance of a steam reformer because a steam reforming reaction is an endothermic reaction. Coaxial cylindrical reactor is the reactor design which can improve the heat transfer rate. Temperature, fuel conversion and heat flux in the coaxial cylindrical steam reformer are studied in this paper using numerical method under various operating conditions. Langmuir-Hinshelwood model and pseudo-homogeneous model are incorporated for the catalytic surface reaction. Dominant chemical reactions are assumed as a Steam Reforming (SR) reaction, a Water-Gas Shift (WGS) reaction, and a Direct Steam Reforming (DSR) reaction. Although coaxial cylindrical steam reformer uses 33% less amount of catalyst than cylindrical steam reformer, its fuel conversion is increased 10 % more and its temperature is also high as about 30 degree. There is no heat transfer limitation near the inlet area at coaxial-type reactor. However, pressure drop of the coaxial cylindrical reactor is 10 times higher than that of cylindrical reactor. Operating parameters of coaxial cylindrical steam reformer are the wall temperature, the inlet temperature, and the Gas Hourly Space Velocity (GHSV). When the wall temperature is high, the temperature and the fuel conversion are increased due to the high heat transfer rate. The fuel conversion rate is increased with the high inlet temperature. However, temperature drop clearly occurs near the inlet area since an endothermic reaction is active due to the high inlet temperature. When GHSV is increased, the fuel conversion is decreased because of the heat transfer limitation and short residence time.

In this paper, we designed a coaxial-dual camera incorporating two optical systems—one for the visible rays and the other for far-infrared ones — with the aim of capturing images in both wavelength ranges. The far-infrared system, which uses an uncooled detector has a sensor array of 640 × 480pixels. The visible ray system has 1,945 × 1,097 pixels. The coaxial-dual optical system was designed using a hot mirror beam splitter to minimizeheat transfer caused by infrared rays in the visible ray optical system. The optimization process revealed that the final version of the dual camerasystem reached more than 90% of the fusion performance between two separate images from dual systems. Multiple rigorous testing processesconfirmed that the coaxial-dual camera we designed demonstrates meaningful design efficiency and improved image conformity degree compared toexisting dual cameras.

최근 모바일기기 및 네트워크에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 기존의 IP (internet protocol) 망을 이용하여 음성데이터를 전송하는 기술인 VoIP (voice over internet protocol)서비스가 급속히 확산됨에 따라 무선 인터넷망을 활용하여 언제 어디서나 저렴한 음성 통화 서비스가 가능해졌다. 그리고 디지털방송서비스가 보급되면서 방송과 통신의 융합을 통해 광대역케이블망을 이용하는 HFC (hybrid fiber coaxial)망 기술은 기존의 통신시스템 및 망설비를 활용하여 양방향 방송서비스 및 인터넷, 전화 등 다양한 신규서비스를 제공하고 있다. 따라서 실제 HFC 인터넷서비스망에서 음성데이터의 품질보장을 위해 VoCM에 UGS-AD를 MTA에는 RTPS를 적용하면 실제 상용 HFC 인터넷서비스망에서 문제가 되는 협소한 상향대역에서의 음성데이터 전송을 원활히 수행할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, HFC 인터넷서비스 망에서 음성데이터의 QoS개선을 통해 기존 대비 개선된 VoIP서비스를 구현하는 방안을 제시하였다. As interest in mobile devices and networks has increased recently, voice over internet protocol (VoIP) service, which is a technology for transmitting voice data using an existing internet protocol (IP) network, has rapidly spread, Cheap voice call service has become possible. As the digital broadcasting service becomes popular, hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) network technology, which uses broadband cable network through fusion of broadcasting and communication, utilizes existing communication system and network equipment to provide various new services such as interactive broadcasting service. Therefore, if UGS-AD is applied to VoCM and RTPS is applied to MTA in order to guarantee the quality of voice data in actual HFC Internet service network, it is possible to smoothly perform voice data transmission in narrow upstream band which is a problem in actual commercial HFC network We also proposed a method to improve VoIP service by improving QoS of voice data in HFC Internet service network.

MR compatible coaxial-slot antenna for microwave hyperthermia was developed while its structure and size of each part were determined by computer simulation using finite element method(FEM). Its local heating performance was evaluated using tissue-mimic phantom and swine muscles. 2% agarose gel mixed with 6mM/$\ell$ $MnCl_2$ as a biological tissue-mimic phantom was heated by the proposed antenna driven by a 2.45GHz microwave generator. The temperature changes of the phantom were monitored using multi-channel digital thermometer at the distance of 0mm, 5mm, 10mm and 20mm from the tip center of the antenna. Also muscle tissue of swine was heated for 2 and 5minutes with 50W and 30W of microwave generator powers, respectively, to evaluate the local heating performance of the antenna. MRI compatibility was also verified by acquiring MR images and MR temperature map. MR signals were acquired from the agarose gel phantom using $T2^*$ GRE sequence with 1.5T clinical MRI scanner(Signa Echospeed, GE, Milwaukee, WI, U.S.A.) at Pusan Paik Hospital and were transferred to PC in order to reconstruct MR images and temperature map using proton resonance frequency(PRF) method and laboratory-developed phase unwrapping algorithm. Authors found that it has no severe distortion due to the antenna inserted into the phantom. Finally, we can conclude that the suggested coaxial-slot antenna has an excellent local heating performance for both of tissue-mimic phantom and swine muscle, and it is compatible to 1.5T MRI scanner.

본 논문은 Ku대역 모노펄스 위성추적을 위한 동축구조 도파관 고차모드 커플러를 제안하였다. 제안된 고차모드 커플러는 이동체 탑재용 위성추적시스템에 적용 가능하도록 소형/경량화를 위하여 동축구조의 도파관을 이용하였다. 기본모드 신호 추출을 위해 내측 원형도파관을 이용하였고, 고차모드 신호 추출을 위해 외측 원형도파관에 내어진 4개의 슬롯과 스텝 구조의 직사각형 도파관을 이용하였다. 제안된 고차모드 커플러의 모의실험 결과는 반사손실 및 삽입손실이 약 250 MHz의 대역폭(12.75∼13.00 GHz)을 만족하며, 모노펄스 추적에 적용 가능한 기본모드 패턴 및 고차모드 패턴이 만족스럽게 생성된 결과를 확인하였다. 제안된 Ku대역 동축구조 도파관 고차모드 커플러는 고속 정밀추적이 요구되는 모노펄스 위성추적시스템에 이용될 것으로 기대된다. In this paper, a higher-order mode coupler using coaxial-structure waveguide for Ku-band monopulse satellite tracking is proposed. The proposed higher-order mode coupler is built in a coaxial structure for compactness and weight reduction, making it suitable for mobile tracking systems. The inner circular waveguide of coaxial-structure is used to extract the fundamental mode signal and the high-order mode signal is extracted from the four slots of the outer circular waveguide and then transmitted via given stepped rectangular waveguide structure. The simulated results show that proposed higher-order mode coupler covers 250 MHz(12.75 GHz ~ 13.00 GHz) bandwidth with return loss and insertion loss characteristics. The antenna patterns of fundamental mode and higher-order mode applicable to monopulse tracking are generated successfully. Designed higher-order mode coupler using coaxial waveguide structure for Ku-band is expected to be used for high precision monopulse satellite tracking systems.
