This paper is concerned with the active vibration control of smart structure using actuator signal made of pulse width modulation. The pulse width modulation has been used in motor control, where the amount of energy fed into the motor is controlled by the pulse width instead of applied voltage. The advantage of using the pulse width modulation is that analog signal can be replaced by the digital signal so that we can reduce system costs and power consumption. The effect of pulse width modulation on the vibration response was investigated in this study and the valid transformation rule was found. Then, the pulse width modulation was realized using a microprocessor and electronic circuit. The active vibration suppression was carried out by combining the positive position feedback controller and the pulse width modulation. The experimental result shows that we can replace an expensive amplifier with a pulse width modulation system thus reducing the system cost. The result also shows that the active vibration control can be achieved by the pulse width modulation technique.

This paper presents a new configuration for a three-phase multilevel voltage source inverter. The main bridge is built from a classical three-phase two-level inverter and three bidirectional switches. A variable DC-link employing two unequal DC voltage supplies and four switches is connected to the main circuit in such a way that the proposed inverter produces four levels in the output voltage waveform. In order to obtain the desired switching gate signals, the fundamental frequency staircase modulation technique is successfully implemented. Furthermore, the proposed structure is extended and compared with other types of multilevel inverter topologies. The comparison shows that the proposed inverter requires a smaller number of power components. For a given number of voltage steps N, the proposed inverter requires N/2 DC voltage supplies and N+12 switches connected with N+7 gate driver circuits, while diode clamped or flying capacitor inverters require N-1 DC voltage supplies and 6(N-1) switches connected with 6(N-1) gate driver circuits. A prototype of the introduced configuration has been manufactured and the obtained simulation and experimental results ensure the feasibility of the proposed topology and the validity of the implemented modulation technique.

EST (Energy Spreading Transfonn) 기반의 변조는 광대역 무선통신에서 주파수 선택적 fading을 방지하는 효과적인 기술이다. 이 기법은 liner decoder의 복잡도를 가지면서 ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference)-free MFB (Matched Filter Bound) 에 근접한 성능을 나타낸다. EST 기반의 변조는 원래 QPSK에 대해 제안되었다. 하지만, 다중 fading 채널의 capacity를 최대한 이용하기 위해서 higher-order의 변조방식이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 QPSK 에 대해 제안되었던 기존 EST 기반 변조를 재검토하고, 이를 8 PSK와 16 QAM으로 확장하는 것을 논의한다. 확장한 시스템의 성능은 Proakis B 채널과 8-tap fa이ng 채널에서의 가상실험을 통해 검증되었다. 8 PSK로 확장한 EST기반의 시스템은 MFB에 매우 근접한 성능을 보여주었지만 16 QAM으로 확장한 EST기반의 시스템은 MFB와의 성능 차이를 보여주었다.

Solenoid operated electromagnetic control valve (ECV) using in an external variable displacement swash plate type compressor is widely used for air conditioning control system because of its low energy consumption and high efficient characteristics. ECV controls the entire vehicle air conditioning system by means of a pulse width modulation (PWM) system that supplied from an external controller. Different pressure ports located within ECV has important functions to control the air/refrigerant flow through its internal passages. The flow paths are preciously maintained with acceptable ranges of leakage (gap) between the parts inside it which is followed by effective design and critical dimensioning of its internal features. Therefore, it saves energy losses from the solenoid operation as well as ensures the balance of forces within it. The research paper highlights analysis of the leakages (at different pressure ports) and dimensioning tolerance factors that affects the ECV performance.

The resonant frequency modulation of $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ meander lines has been investigated as functions of optical pulse energy and temperature by using a network analyzer. The frequency-domain measurements are performed by controlling both the resonant frequency and the frequency width. The meander lines, configured in a microstrip geometry, are illuminated by optical pulses from an actively mode-locked Nd:YAG laser. The variation of the resonant frequency shows a quadratic dependence on the reduced optical pulse energy $P/P_c$, where $P_c$ is defined as the critical optical pulse energy at which resonance signal has disappeared. As for the dependence on temperature, the results are in good agreement with the previously reported data.

Energy spectrum modulation of X-ray source in digital mammography has been studied. In this study, we calculated various filtered spectra using the scattering data. Primary spectra were generated by Molybdenum (Mo) and Tungsten (W) targets. The materials of added filters are Molybdenum and Rhodium (Rh) for 40 kVp Mo. primary spectrum, the amounts of photons over whole energy ranges are attenuated to 0.43 with 0.03 mm Mo filter and 0.38 with 0.06 mm Mo filter while the photons of energy ranged from 17 keV to 20 keV. The photons of low energy ranged below 17 keV are considerably attenuated. This effect brings out reducing the scattered radiation and dose to the patient, and enhancing subject contrast in the image. The results show that filtered spectra are not seriously affected by X-ray tube loadability. Because the energy range from 17 keV to 20 keV is directly transmitted although low and high energies are mainly filtered.

고밀도 helicon wave 플라즈마의 특성 및 이온 에너지 분포에 관하여 연구하였다. Helicon wave에 의하여 고밀도의 플라즈마를 형성시키는 helicon mode와 capacitive field가 지배적이어서 electrostatic 방전이 되어 저밀도의 플라즈마를 형성시키는 low mode가 존재하는 것을 관찰하였다. rf modulation된 플라즈마 전위가 이온 에너지 분석기를 통하여 얻어지는 이온 에너지 분포에 미치는 영향을 이론 및 실험적으로 관찰하였다. 이온 에너지 분포의 분석을 통하여 low mode에서는 플라즈마 전위가 rf 주파수로 Vp-p의 크기로 modulation되는 것을 확인하였다. Helicon mode에서는 inductive field가 capacitive field보다 우세하기 때문에 플라즈마 전위의 rf modulation은 일어나지 않았다.

DC/DC Switching power converters are commonly used to generate regulated DC output voltages with high-power efficiencies from different DC input sources. A switching converter utilizes one or more energy storage elements such as capacitors, or transformers to efficiently transfer energy from the input to the output at periodic intervals. The fundamental boost converter studied here consists of a power metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor switch, an inductor, a capacitor, a diode, and a pulse-width modulation circuit with oscillator, amplifier, and comparator. A buck converter containing a switched-mode power supply is also studied. In this paper, the electrical characteristics of DC/DC power converters are simulated by simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE). Furthermore, power efficiency was analyzed based on the specifications of each component.

This paper presents a loss analysis and compares three pulse width modulation (PWM) methods applied in a three-phase grid-connected bidirectional inverter for an energy storage system. The losses in switching devices and output low pass filters are theoretically analyzed by using PWM control techniques. Grid-connected bidirectional inverters are designed by using PWM techniques, and the designed inverters are simulated to verify the analysis results.
