Recently, wireless communication systems have been developed and the circuits which operate with the broad-band for multiband uses were introduced. However, broad-band circuits have problems that inevitably increase the size. Dual-band circuit operates only two frequency, therefore, it will be able to miniaturize through unnecessary decreased elements. The Wilkinson power divider is the one of the most commonly used components in wireless communication system for power division. Nowaday, the Wilkinson power divider is also demanded dual-band. In this paper, I propose miniaturized dual-band Wilkinson power divider operating at 2.45 GHz and 5.2 GHz for IEEE 802.11n standard. Proposed dual-band Wilkinson power divider is used in parallel stub line. The design is accomplished by transforming the electrical length and impedance of the quarter wave sections of the conventional Wilkinson power divider into dual band ${\pi}$-shaped sections.

This paper described the design and fabrication of broadband 4-way $90^{\circ}$ power divider which has a $90^{\circ}$ phase difference between output ports in 20${\sim}$100 MHz VHF-band. A 4-way $90^{\circ}$ power divider was designed using 4-way in-phase power divider which consisted of three 2-way in-phase power dividers and two second-order all pass filters which gives $90^{\circ}$ phase difference between output ports. The measured insertion loss was less then 6.6 dB, return loss and isolation were better than 19 dB, and phase error between $90^{\circ}$ phase difference outputs was less than ${\pm}$1$^{\circ}$.

In this paper, high efficiency amplifier configuration is proposed using the reconfigurable power divider. In order to enhance average efficiency of linear power amplifiers for wireless communication, it is required to increase efficiency in low output power region. The proposed power divider operates in two modes, high power mode and low power mode, according to output power. In each mode, it allows impedance matches and low loss, which is made possible by employing two $\lambda/4$ coupled lines and two switches. The fabricated power divider shows the return loss ($S_{11}$) and insertion loss ($S_{21}$) of -16.49 dB and -0.83 dB, respectively, in low power mode. In high power mode, the measured return loss ($S_{11}$) and insertion loss ($S_{31}$) are -16.28 dB and -0.73 dB, respectively. This result successfully demonstrates the reconfigurability of the proposed power divider.

태양전력 조절기는 태양전지에서 전력을 생성하여 배터리를 충전하고 인공위성의 모든 부하에 전력을 공급하는 역할을 한다. 이러한 태양전력 조절기는 신뢰성 확보와 대전류 처리를 위해 병렬운전한다. 병렬운전 시 전류가 각 태양전력 조절기에 균등하게 분배되지 않을 경우, 한 태양전력 조절기에만 과도한 전류가 흐르게 되고 해당 태양전력 조절기에 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 병렬운전 하는 각 태양전지 조절기에 전류를 균등하게 분배하기 위해 전류 제어기가 필요하다. 전류 제어 방식에는 Inner Loop방식과 Outer Loop 방식이 있다. Inner Loop방식은 전류 제어기가 태양전력 조절기의 전류를 제어하고, 전류 제어기의 기준 전압을 외부의 전압 제어기가 제어하는 방식이다. 한편, Outer Loop 방식은 전압 제어기가 태양전력 조절기의 전압을 제어하고, 전압 제어기의 기준 전압에 태양전력 조절기의 전류 정보를 더하여 전압을 제어하면서 간접적으로 전류를 제어하는 방식이다. 한편, 태양전지는 전압과 전류가 강한 비선형성 관계를 가지므로 태양전지의 동작점에 따라 태양전력 조절기의 소신호 특성이 변화하고, 이는 전류제어기 안정도에 심각한 영향을 미친다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 태양전지의 각 동작점에 관계없이 전류 제어기가 안정적으로 태양전력 조절기의 전류분배를 수행할 수 있도록 Inner Loop방식과 Outer Loop방식의 전류 제어기를 해석하고 두 방식을 비교한다.

A novel multi-section power divider configuration is proposed to obtain wide-band frequency performance up to microwave frequency region. Design procedures for the proposed microwave broadband power divider are composed of a planar multi-section three-ports hybrid and a waveguide transformer design procedures. The multi-section power divider is based on design theory of the optimum quarter-wave transformer. Furthermore, in order to obtain the broadband isolation performance between the two adjacent output ports, the odd mode equivalent circuit should be matched by using the lossy element such as resistor. The derived design formula for calculating these odd mode matching elements is based on the singly terminated filter design theory. The waveguide transformer section is designed to suppress the propagation of the higher order modes such as waveguide modes due to employing the metallic electric wall. Thus, each section of the designed waveguide transformer should be operated with evanescent mode over the whole design frequency band of the proposed microwave broadband power divider. This paper presents several simulations and experimental results of multi-section power divider to show validity of the proposed microwave broadband power divider configuration. Simulation and experiment show excellent performance of multi section power divider.

This paper introduces a new current sharing technique to Interleaved Boost Converter (IBC) using carrier slope control. The IBC is able to boost the input voltage and operates at higher current levels and has various advantages over a single power module. However, how to balance the current each module is still important problem. To solve this problem, the proposed technique can distribute the power and load current equally based on master-slave current sharing method. Unlike a conventional approach, this technique can be extended even though the current stress of switching components at slave modules is significantly smaller than that of the master module. The simulation and the experimental results are presented to show the validity.

멀티레벨 인버터에 널리 사용되는 Phase Shifted PWM은 셀 간의 동일한 전력 분배가 가능하나 각 셀 carrier의 위상차이로 인해 무부하 운전시 특정 셀에 회생이 발생하고, 지령 전압과 실제 전압의 위상차가 발생하는 단점이 있다. Level Shifted PWM을 통해 이와 같은 단점을 보완할 수 있으나, 각 셀의 스위칭 패턴이 모두 달라 전력 분배가 동일하게 이루어 지지 않는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 Level Shifted PWM 방법을 개선하여 각 셀의 스위칭 패턴을 순환시켜 셀 간 동일한 전력분배가 이루어지도록 하였고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 이를 검증하였다.

This paper proposes a method of implementing an unequal power divider for high splitting ratios by using transmission lines connected with open and short stubs. The proposed method is an equivalent circuit analysis of a transmission line with an additional port so that it can be converted to an arbitrary impedance in the center of a 2-port transmission line and a 3-port transmission line with an open or short stub connected in parallel to each port. To prove the validity of this method, a Wilkinson power divider with k² = 20 dB splitting ratio and a Gysel power divider with k² = 17 dB splitting ratio were designed at a center frequency of 1 GHz using a 3-port transmission line equivalent circuit. The experimental results of the electrical characteristics are in good agreement with the simulation.
