This paper suggests a new modulation strategy for step pulse type multi-level inverter. The proposed strategy is simple to determine the switching angles without regard to increase of levels. Designed to extract the equivalent RMS value compared to ideal sine wave from inverter, it can be applied effectively to high level step pulse inverter. Also this paper proposed modulation strategy for modified H-bridge 13 level inverter which has different cell source voltages with simulation and experiment. The modulation characteristics from simulation and experiment, agreed very well with tracing sine wave about modified structure of cascaded H-bridge multi-level inverter.

A numerical model based on the boundary element method is employed to describe diffraction of monochromatic water waves due to varying topographies. The model is firstly verified by comparing obtained reflection and transmission coefficients of waves over a trench to those of the eigenfunction expansion method. The model is then used to investigate the Bragg reflection of waves over sinusoidally varying topographies. Calculated reflection coefficients are compared to available laboratory measurements and semi-theoretical results. A reasonably good agreement is observed.served.

Heat transfer characteristics of the laminar oscillating flow in a circular pipe have been studied under the condition that the wall temperature of the pipe is distributed sinusoidally with the axial direction. The axial velocity was assumed to be uniform in radial direction and the temperature field was analyzed by means of the perturbation method. The results show that the difference between wall and section-time-averaged fluid temperature increases as the oscillating frequency increases and eventually converges to a constant value which is determined by the ratio of swept distance to the characteristic length of wall temperature distribution. Also it is shown that the dominant variable in the heat transfer process when swept distance ratio is greater than 1 is not thermal Womersley number(F) but thermal Womersley number multiplied by the square root of swept distance ratio. The variation of the time-averaged Nusselt number is obtained as a function of F. The results indicate that Nusselt number is proportional to $F_{\epsilon}^{1/2}$ when both of F and .epsilon. are much greater than 1.

This study presents a combined experimental and numerical effort to investigate experimentally and numerically the Bragg reflection of sinusoidal waves due to trapezoidal submerged porous breakwaters. Numerical predictions of the study are verified by comparing to laboratory measurements. In the numerical model, the flow in porous structures is described by the spatially averaged Navier-Stokes equations and the volume of fluid method is employed to track the free surface displacements. Numerical solutions are agree well with laboratory measurements. The reflection coefficients of porous structures are smaller than those of non-porous structures and become stronger in proportion to the increase of number of submerged breakwaters.

A sinusoidal model has been widely used in the analysis and synthesis of speech and audio signals, and becomes one of the efficient candidates for high quality low bit rate audio coders. One of the crucial steps in the analysis and synthesis using a sinusoidal model is the detection of tonal components. This paper proposes an efficient method for the analysis and synthesis of audio signals using a sinusoidal model, which uses psychoacoustic criteria such as masking effect, masking index, and JNDf(Just Noticeable Difference in Frequency). Simulation results show that the proposed method reduces the number of sinusoids significantly without degrading the quality of the synthesized audio signals.

Recently a demand for high precision absolute position transducer is increasing in order to control thickness in steel industry. LVDT (linear variable differential transformer) is widely used to measure the absolute position in the linearly moving cylinder under poor factory environment. In this paper we implement the three phase LVDT with a high resolution of one micron and L/D (LVDT to digital) converter. First we designed U, V, and W three phase signaling using FPGA. Second a pulse output algorithm is designed for position information with A and B phase waveforms. Finally the performance is compared with previous sensors. Experiments show that the linearity deviation error is 0.009788 [mm] and the average sinusoidal THD is 0.0751%, which means 2.2% and 33% more improved result than the previous sensors respectively.

In this paper, a three phase PWM AC to DC boost converter that operates with unity power factor and sinusodial input currents si presented. The current control of the converter is based on the space vector PWM strategy with fixed switching frequency and the imput current tracks the reference current within one sampling time interval. Space vector PWM strategy for current control was materialized as a digital control method by using DSP. By using this control strategy low ripples in the output voltage, low harmonics in the input current and fast dynamic responses are achieved with a small capacitance in the dc link.

The piezoelectric transformer converters electrical energy into mechanical energy, It is high efficiency and small size transformer for high output voltage. The piezoelectric transformer operates the resonance frequency and the output voltage waveform is close to sine wave. Therefore, it is suitable for driving the LCD backlight in the notebook computer. In this paper, we discussed about the inverter which os driving piezoelectric transformer by generating sine wave through LC resonance after converting input DC voltage to the gate signal of FET. As the result of experiments, it was showed that the resonance frequency and voltage gain of the piezoelectric transformer was proportional to the load variation, and voltage gain was independent of the input voltage variation.

실제의 브러시리스 직류 전동기의 역기전력 파형은 고가의 정밀 서보 전동기를 제외했을 때, 이상적인 사다리꼴이나 정현파의 형태가 아닌 그 형태에 근접한 모양을 갖는다. 하지만 브러시리스 직류 전동기의 운전은 역기전력 파형을 이상적이라고 가정하여 사다리꼴인 경우는 3상 2여자 직류 제어를 하고, 정현파인 경우에는 3상 3여자 교류 제어를 하는 것이 일반적이다. 일반적인 3상 3여자 운전은 3상 2여자 운전에 비해 공간 자계의 높은 분해능을 제공하고, 3상 2여자 운전에서 구조적으로 나타날 수밖에 없는 정류 시의 토크 리플도 발생하지 않는 장점을 갖는다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 위의 두 측면을 고려하여, 즉 이상적인 형태의 역기전력 형태를 갖지 않는 실제 전동기의 특성과 3상 3여자 운전의 특성을 적용하여, 역기전력의 형태에 상관없이 적용할 수 있는 3상 3여자 직류 제어 방법을 제안하고 이에 대한 센서리스 운전을 제안한다.
