摘要：This paper presents a compact Ultra-Wideband （UWB） band-pass filter using a high-pass filter and a low-pass one, and the resonator with lumped elements. The structure of our proposed bandpass filter is very simple and the Defected Ground Structure（DGS） structure is used to get the low-pass filter characteristics. This proposed band-pass filter can be much smaller than a cascaded type filter. As a result of simulation, the insertion loss is less than 0.3 dB throughout the pass-band of 2.2 GHz- 10.6 GHz, while the return loss is more than 18 dB. And it has rejection level of 36 dB at GPS band.

摘要：ADCS （automated data collection system） is the element of MDMS （meter data management system） and a module in charge of collecting the data from DCUs （data collection units） or meters in AMI （advanced metering infrastructure）-based interactive two-way communications infrastructure. In this study, ADCS＇s functions for K-AMI （Korean Advanced Metering Infrastructure） were analyzed and the logical design of ADCS which is suitable for the requirements was suggested. A massive data collection and management functions was defined as very important functions of ADCS to meet optimal data processing mechanism. ADCS was designed for support about the fuctions of data collection and transfer, large capacity data processing, interactive services, parallel processing, etc.. Also, ADCS has roles of protocols exchange and gateway for service support in addition to data collection in AMI environment.

摘要：The issue of CCF （common cause failure） in digital I ＆ C （instrumentation and control） systems is of great interest because an increasing number of such systems are implemented in nuclear power plants. For the mitigation of ATWS （anticipated transients without scram） as well as CCF within the PPS （plant protection system） and the ESF-CCS （engineered safety feature-component control system）, the ADPS （advanced diverse protection system） has been developed by KEPCO E ＆ C （KEPCO Engineering and Construction） Company for new nuclear units in Korea. As compared to the DPS （diverse protection system） design of APR1400, the ADPS has a diverse safety injection function considering a LBLOCA （large break loss of coolant accident） concurrent with the CCF of the PPS and ESF-CCS. Besides the function of SIAS （safety injection actuation signal） initiation, several CCF avoidance features, such as the changes of software design classification, communication methods, equipment platform, and man-machine interfaces, are introduced to enhance the reliability of the ADPS. In addition, the ADPS has recently incorporated four redundant channels with 2-out-of-4 voting logics to enhance its fault tolerant capability. Therefore, it is expected that the ADPS can provide an enhanced reliability regarding possible CCFs in the safety-grade digital I ＆ C systems as well as the ADPS itself.
