Abstract: The present invention relates to a 5th-generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system which is provided for supporting a higher data transfer rate after a 4th-generation (4G) communication system such as a long term evolution (LTE). The present invention provides a method for selecting, by an access point (AP), a beam in a communication system supporting a beamforming scheme, the method comprising: a step of transmitting information which indicates whether or not a duplicated beacon transmission interval (BTI) is operated; and a step of performing a transmit sector sweep (TXSS) process at least twice during the duplicated BTI.

Abstract: A display device includes a lamp unit, a dimming signal controller, and an inverter device. The dimming signal controller receives a lamp brightness signal and an external environment illumination signal, selects the lamp brightness signal or a signal based on the received external environment illumination signal, and outputs the selected signal as a dimming signal. The inverter device may operate to control brightness of the lamp unit based on the dimming signal.

Abstract: A full bridge switching circuit includes a converter circuit including first and second converters. The first converter includes a first transformer and a first switching element part to control the first transformer in response to a first switching signal. The second converter includes a second transformer and a second switching element part to control the second transformer in response to a second switching signal. The first and second transformers are controlled by the first and second switching element parts to output first and second feedback signals, respectively. The full bridge switching circuit further includes a third switching element part having a third switching input connected to the first and second transformers, and an IC circuit to generate an OR signal by an OR operation of a first control signal generated from the first feedback signal and a second control signal generated from the second feedback signal.

Abstract: A control circuit of a switching power supply for supplying a drive voltage to a light emitting element is provided. The control circuit includes a pulse width modulator which generates a pulse signal whose duty ratio is adjusted such that a detection voltage corresponding to an output voltage of the switching power supply is equal to a predetermined reference voltage, a driver which drives a switching element of the switching power supply based on the pulse signal, and a standby control unit which stops driving of the switching element once a predetermined time has passed after a standby signal steps down to a level indicating a standby state, and to shut down the control circuit and a current source.
