In this work, a reduced size 20W quasi class-E Power Amplifier(PA) with defected ground structure load-network is presented for WCDMA base station application. Harmonic impedances required for the class E operation are satisfied by applying the dumbbell and the asymmetric spiral DGS. Open impedance for 2nd harmonic frequency which has the highest power and nearly short impedances for other higher order harmonics are provided by the proposed DGS load-network. The maximum Power Added Efficiency(PAE) of 70.2 % at the output power of 43.1 dBm with the saturated power gain of 12.7 dB is achieved by the proposed quasi class-E PA, which is comparable to the performance of the reference class-E PA. Total size of the proposed class-E PA is only $50{\times}50\;mm^2$ and much smaller than the conventional class-E PA that is loaded with a number of open stubs.

In this paper, a 2~6 GHz wideband GaN power amplifier MMIC is designed and fabricated using a second-order all-pass filter for input impedance matching and an LC parallel resonant circuit for minimizing an output reactance component of the transistor. The second-order all-pass filter used for wideband lossy matching is modified in an asymmetric configuration to compensate the effect of channel resistance of the GaN transistor. The power amplifier MMIC chip that is fabricated using a $0.25{\mu}m$ GaN HEMT foundry process of Win Semiconductors, Corp. is $2.6mm{\times}1.3mm$ and shows a flat linear gain of about 13 dB and input return loss of larger than 10 dB. Under a saturated power mode, it also shows output power of 38.6~39.8 dBm and a power-added efficiency of 31.3~43.4 % in 2 to 6 GHz.

In this paper, An X-band solid state power amplifier(SSPA) for pulse compressed microwave signal with 60Watt power and power added efficiency(PAE) above 30% is described. Designed 60Watt high power amplifier(HPA) was implemented by cascade coupled amplifiers, and it is consisted on three stage drive amplifiers with internally matched GaAs FET and one stage main power amplifier with an internally matched GaN HEMT. The designed SSPA has performance with more than total power gain 37dB and output power 48dBm(60-W) in condition of frequency range $9.41{\pm}0.03GHz$, pulse period width under 1ms and duty cycle under 10%. The implemented SSPA can apply to high quality digital marine radar applications with pulse compression technique.

In this paper, we would like to introduce Electron Relay Enhancer (ERE), a supplementary device, which improves commercial solar cell efficiency minimizing electron-hole recombination of solar cell. The ERE in this study is mainly composed of two capacitors which are connected to AC power source and bridge diode system which controls electron flow direction. Two capacitors repeat collecting electrons from solar cell and pumping the collected electrons to load resistance or inverter through the bridge diode system. While one positively charged capacitor collect electrons, the other negatively charged one pumps electrons. A positively charged capacitor pulls the more exited electrons from the solar cell, before the exited electrons recombine the holes in solar cell. That is why the ERE system enhances solar cell efficiency. As a result, the measured power increase of the solar cell with the ERE is varied from 5.9 W to 25.6 W in each experimental condition. Maximal increase rate of the solar cell power with ERE is 30.8% of solar cell power without ERE.

기존 플라이백 컨버터의 출력 정류 다이오드는 변압기 누설 인덕터와의 공진으로 소자의 전압 스트레스 부담이 크며 스너버의 부가가 필수적이다. 반면 제안된 다이오드 클램프 정류기를 채용한 플라이백 컨버터는 출력 다이오드가 출력전압의 절반 또는 출력전압으로 클램프 되어 전압 내압을 대폭 줄일 수 있고, 손실이 큰 스너버가 필요 없으며 저가형 및 고효율의 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 컨버터를 소개하고 동작원리 및 동작모드 해석과 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통한 검증결과를 제시 한다.

무선 망에서 한정된 무선 자원의 효율을 높이기 위한 페이징 기법들이 많이 제안 되었다. 지금까지 제안된 페이징 기법들은 미리 정의된 규칙에 따라 페이징 영역을 설정한다. 따라서 이동 노드가 네트워크에 접속한 이후에 발생할 수 있는 네트워크의 혼잡이나 라우터의 정지와 같은 갑작스런 상황에 민첩하게 대응할 수 없다. 또한 이동 노드들은 프로세싱 능력이 고정 노드보다 떨어지고 전원도 약하므로 이동 노드가 생성하는 메시지를 줄이기 위한 노력이 필요하다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 특별한 페이징 영역 설정 없이 페이징을 적용할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 페이징 기법을 통해 56%의 성능향상을 거두었고 네트워크의 부하도 줄이게 되었다. 또한 이동 노드들은 생성하던 메시지가 줄어들게 되므로 전력 소모가 줄어드는 부가적인 효과를 얻는다.

A novel high frequency insulated soft switching PWM DC-DC converter circuit is proposed and then it is achieved the high-efficiency. This converter does not use the o(citing current of a high frequency transformer but use inductance. Then it realizes a widely stable zero voltage switching operation with the use of a novel ON-OFF control method at synchronized rectification power MOSEFETs of the high frequency insulated transformer secondary. Therefore, it is brought over 97[%] measurement efficiency by proposed DC-DC converter.
