본 논문에서는 새로운 고조파 조절 회로를 이용한 Si LDMOSFET 고효율 전력증폭기를 구현하였다. 본 고조파 조절 회로는 2차, 3차 고조파 성분에 대하여 단락 임피던스를 갖으며, 입출력 정합 회로를 설계하기 위하여 사용된다. 제안된 고조파 조절 회로의 효율 개선 효과가 class-F 혹은 inverse class-F 고조파 조절 회로 보다 우수하다는 것을 증명하였다. 또한, 고조파 조절 회로가 출력 정합 회로뿐만 아니라, 입력 정합 회로에도 사용될 경우, 제안된 전력증폭기의 효율은 더욱 더 개선된다. 제안된 전력증폭기의 최대 전력 효율 (PAE)의 측정값은 1.71 GHz의 주파수 대역에서 82.68%이다. Class-F와 inverse class-F 전력증폭기와 비교할 때, 제안된 전력증폭기의 최대 PAE 측정값은 $5.08\;{\sim}\;9.91\;%$ 향상된다.

본 논문에서는 위상 잡음 특성을 개선하기 위하여 고조파 조절 회로를 기반으로 한 출력 정합 회로를 이용한 전압 제어 발진기를 제안하였다. 위상 잡음은 2차, 3차 고조파 모두에서 단락 임피던스를 갖는 고조파 조절 회로를 통하여 억제되었으며, 출력 정합 회로에 연결되었다. 또한 전압 제어 발진기의 위상 잡음 특성을 더욱 더 개선하기 위하여 마이크로스트립 사각 개방 루프 다중 SRR를 이용하였다. 위상 잡음 특성 개선을 위하여 높은 Q값을 갖는 공진기 대신에 고조파 조절 회로를 기반으로 한 출력 정합 회로를 이용하였기 때문에 낮은 Q값을 갖는 공진기를 통하여 넓은 주파수 조절 범위를 얻을 수 있다. 고조파 조절 회로를 기반으로 한 출력 정합 회로와 마이크로스트립 사각 개방 루프 다중 SRR를 이용한 제안된 전압 제업 발진기의 위상 잡음 특성은 주파수 조절 범위, $5.744{\sim}5.839$ GHz에서 $-127.5{\sim}-126.33$ dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz이다. 고조파 조절 회로가 없는 출력 정합 회로와 마이크로스트립 선로 공진기를 이용한 전압 제어 발진기와 비교했을 경우, 제안된 전압 제어 발진기의 위상 잡음 특성은 26.66 dB 개선되었다.

A new third harmonic injection circuit for light-emitting diode (LED) drivers is proposed to eliminate electrolytic capacitors and thereby extend the lifetime of LED drivers. When a third harmonic current is injected to the input current of the LED driver, the required capacitance of the driver can be reduced. The proposed circuit can control an injection ratio and has simple circuitry. The synchronous third harmonic is generated by a phase locked loop (PLL), a 1/3 counter, and op-amps and applied to a power factor correction circuit. Thus, the storage capacitor can install film capacitors instead of the electrolytic capacitor. The value of storage capacitance can be reduced to 78% compared to an input power factor of 100%. The proposed circuit is applied to the 80W prototype LED driver to experimentally verify the performances.

Because of the high cost for the active power filter, passive filters have been widly used to eliminate harmonic currents of nonlinear load and can also improve the power factor. They are not often optimal filters because the passive filters are designed under the fixed load conditions. In this paper we proposed the method which only the necessary harmonic filters are operated by detecting the various harmonic current components. We presents the new control method of passive filter selection type with the relay control circuit which is consist of analog GIC, comparater, flip-flop and etc. By the experimental results using the proposed system for the rectifier load, we concluded that the researched method is cost effective and the performance is better than the passive filter.

본 논문에서는 주파수 조절 범위의 감소 없이 위상 잡음을 줄이고 회로 크기를 최소화하기 위하여 혼합 우좌향 전송 선로 기반의 고조파 조절 회로를 이용한 새로운 전압 제어 발진기를 제안하였다. 위상 잡음은 2차와 3차 고조파에서 동시에 단락임피던스를 갖는 새로운 고조파 조절 회로에 의해 줄어들었다. 제안된 고조파 조절 회로는 혼합 우좌향 전송 선로의 주파수 오프셋과 위상 기울기에 의한 이중 대역 특성을 갖는 혼합 우좌향 전송 선로를 이용하여 설계되었다. 높은 Q 특성의 공진기는 위상 잡음을 줄이기 위하여 사용되어 왔지만, 주파수 조절 범위가 감소하는 문제를 갖고 있다. 하지만 제안된 전압 제어 발진기의 주파수 조절 범위는 위상 잡음이 높은 Q 특성의 공진기 없이 감소하였기 때문에 줄어들지 않았다. 또한, 일반적인 우향 전송 선로 대신 혼합 우좌향 전송 선로를 이용하는 것을 통하여 회로의 크기를 소형화 하였다. 전압 제어 발진기의 위상 잡음은 5.731 ~ 5.938 GHz의 주파수 조절 범위 내에서 100 kHz의 오프셋 주파수에서 -119.17 ~ -117.50 dBc/Hz이다.

The present paper is devoted to vibration canceling and shape control of piezoelastic slender beams. Taking into account the presence of electric networks, an extended electromechanically coupled Bernoulli-Euler beam theory for passive piezoelectric composite structures is shortly introduced in the first part of our contribution. The second part of the paper deals with the concept of passive shape control of beams using shaped piezoelectric layers and tuned inductive networks. It is shown that an impedance matching and a shaping condition must be fulfilled in order to perfectly cancel vibrations due to an arbitrary harmonic load for a specific frequency. As a main result of the present paper, the correctness of the theory of passive shape control is demonstrated for a harmonically excited piezoelelastic cantilever by a finite element calculation based on one-dimensional Bernoulli-Euler beam elements, as well as by the commercial finite element code of ANSYS using three-dimensional solid elements. Finally, an outlook for the practical importance of the passive shape control concept is given: It is shown that harmonic vibrations of a beam with properly shaped layers according to the presented passive shape control theory, which are attached to an resistor-inductive circuit (RL-circuit), can be significantly reduced over a large frequency range compared to a beam with uniformly distributed piezoelectric layers.

In this paper, six harmonic injection PWM method for reducing total harmonic distortion in single switch three phase discontinuous conduction mode boost converter is presented. In the proposed method, periodic six harmonic voltage is injected in the control circuit to vary the duty ratio of the converter switch within a line cycle so that the fifth order harmonic of the input current is reduced. Experimental results are verified by converter operating at 400V/6kW with three phase 140V~220V input.

This paper proposes a novel current compensation technique that can eliminate the harmonic currents included in line currents without computation of harmonic current components. A current controller with fast dynamics for an active filter is described. Harmonic currents are directly controlled without the need for sensing and computing the harmonic current of the load current, thus simplifying the control system. Current compensation is done in the time domain, allowing a fast time response. The DC voltage control loop keeps the voltage across the DC capacitor constant. High power factor control by an active filter is described. All control functions are implemented in software using a single-chip microcontroller, thus simplifying the control circuit. Any current-controlled synchronous rectifier can be used as a shunt active filter through only the simple modification of the software and the addition of current sensors. It is shown through experimental results that the proposed controller gives good performance for the shunt active filter.

In this paper we proposed AC/DC boost converter to improve input current harmonic reduction in TIG welder. The proposed harmonic reduction circuit with UC2854AN acting on constant switching frequency average current control has a three-loop control structure : the inner current loop the line voltage feed-forward loop and th outer voltage loop. Also we applied the constant current strategy on full bridge IGBT inverter to stabilized the output current using the analog PI controller. To demonstrate the practical significance of the proposed methods some simulation studies and experimental results are presented.

To improve the current waveform of diode rectifiers, we propose a new operating principle for the voltage-doubler diode rectifiers. In the conventional voltage-doubler rectifier circuit, relatively large capacitors are used to boost the output voltage, while the proposed circuit uses smaller ones and a small reactor not to boost the output voltage but improve the input current waveform. A circuit design method is shown by experimentation and confirmed simulation. The experimental results of the proposed diode rectifier satisfies the harmonic guide lines. A high input power factor of 97(%) and an efficiency of 98[%] are also obtained. The new rectifier with no controlled switches meet the harmonic guide lines, resulting in a simple, reliable and low-cost at-to dc converters in comparison with the boost-type current-improving circuits. This paper proposes a nonlinear impedance circuit composed by diodes and inductors or capacitors. This circuit needs no control circuits and switches, and the impedance value is changed by the polarity of current or voltage. And this paper presents one of these applications to improve the input current of capacitor input diode rectifiers. The rectifier using the nonlinear impedance circuit is constructed with four diodes and four capacitors in addition to the conventional rectifiers, that is, it has eight diodes and five capacitors, including a DC link capacitor. It makes harmonic components of the input current reduction and the power factor improvement. Half pulse-width modulated (HPWM) inverter was explained compared with conventional pulse width modulated(PWM) inverter. Proposed HPWM inverter eliminated dead-time by lowering switching loss and holding over-shooting.
