We investigated the harmonic voltages generated by a synchronous machine adding d-axis and q-axis harmonic field windings to reduce the harmonics in a power line. First, electronic circuits such as a frequency multiplier, band-pass filter, and phase shifter were newly designed and made to carry out the experiment. Next, an experimental circuit, for which an AC voltage of frequency 6f synchronized to the power line voltage of frequency f could be obtained, was constructed to examine the generation of harmonic voltage in more detail. Finally, an experiment involving the generation of harmonic voltage was performed using an experimental synchronous generator with harmonic windings in the d-axis and q-axis. In this paper, the power spectrum and the waveforms of the harmonic voltages in the armature winding are presented. Moreover, the values calculated from theoretical expressions of harmonic voltages in armature winding are compared with the values obtained by the experiment.

This study proposes a novel random pulse-width modulation (PWM) technique with a constant switching frequency utilizing a random offset voltage. The proposed PWM technique spreads switching harmonics by varying the position of an active voltage vector without a switching frequency variation. The implementation of the proposed PWM technique is simple because it does not require additional hardware and complex algorithm. The proposed random PWM technique is compared with the conventional PWM technique on the factors of harmonic spectrum, total harmonic distortion, and harmonic spread factor to confirm the harmonic spread effect. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulations and experiments on a three-phase inverter drive system.

This paper presents the vibration and harmonic analysis of orthotropic laminated composite plate. The response of plate is determined using Finite Element Method. The eight noded shell 281 elements are used to analyze the orthotropic plates and results are obtained so that the right choice can be made in applications such as aircrafts, rockets, missiles, etc. to reduce the vibration amplitudes. Initially the model response for orthotropic plate and harmonic response for isotropic plate is verified with the available literature. The results are in good agreement with the available literature. Numerical results for the natural frequency and harmonic response amplitude are presented. Effects of boundary conditions, thickness to width ratio and number of layers on natural frequency and harmonic response of the orthographic plates are also investigated. The natural frequency, mode shape and harmonic analysis of laminated composite plate has been determined using finite element package ANSYS.

A low loss frequency doubler operated on low power for the RFID harmonic tags is presented. Using the excellent nonlinear characteristics of the Schottky barrier diode and proper matching networks between the diode and ports, the low conversion loss of the harmonic tag is accomplished. This doubler could be used to increase the detectable distance of the conventional RFID system adopted harmonic tags.

A low cost solution employing harmonic oscillation to the frequency synthesizer at 5.8 ㎓ is proposed. The proposed frequency synthesizer is composed of 2.9 ㎓ PLL chip, 2.9 ㎓ oscillator, and 5.8 ㎓ buffer amplifier The measured data shows a frequency Outing range of 290 ㎒, ranging from 5.65 to 5.94 ㎓ about 0.5 ㏈m of output power, and a phase noise of -107.67 ㏈c/㎐ at the 100 ㎑ offset frequency. All spurious signals including fundamental oscillation power(2.9 ㎓) are suppressed at least 15 ㏈c than the desired second harmonic signal.

This paper proposes impedance-based stability analysis of DC-DC boost converters, where a harmonic state space (HSS) modeling technique is used. At first, the HSS model of the boost converter is developed. Then, the closed-loop output impedance of the converter is derived in frequency domain using small signal modeling including frequency couplings, where harmonic transfer function (HTF) matrices of the open-loop output impedance, the duty-to-output, and the voltage controller are involved. The frequency response of the output impedance reveals a resonance frequency at low frequency region and frequency couplings at sidebands of switching frequency which agree with the simulation and experimental result.

In this paper, a sub-harmonic dual-gate FET mixer for IMT-2000 base-station was designed by using single-gate FET cascode structure and driven by the second order harmonic component of LO signal. The dual-gate FET mixer has the characteristic of high conversion gain and good isolation between ports. Sub-harmonic mixing is frequently used to extend RF bandwidth for fixed LO frequency or to make LO frequency lower. Furthermore, the LO-to-RF isolation characteristic of a sub-harmonic mixer is better than that of a fundamental mixer because the frequency separation between the RE and LO frequency is large. As RF power is -30dBm and LO power is 0dBm, the designed mixer shows the -47.17dBm LO-to-RF leakage power level, 10dB conversion gain, -0.5dBm OIP3, -10.5dBm IIP3 and -1dBm 1dB gain compression point.

In this paper, we compared the performance of the Right Handed Nonlinear Transmission Line (RH-NLTL) and Left Handed Nonlinear Transmission Line (LH-NLTL) as a harmonic generator. For a performance comparison, we fabricated both a RH-NLTL and a LH-NLTL harmonic generator whose operational bandwidth is from 0.5 GHz to 1.5 GHz. Under the each condition for the RH-NLTL and the LH-NLTL to maximize second harmonic, the output power of the second harmonic was 9.33 dB lower than the input power for the RH-NLTL and 12.67 dB lower than the input power for the LH-NLTL. Under the each condition for the RH-NLTL and the LH-NLTL to maximize third harmonic, the output power of the third harmonic was 13.33 dB lower than the input power for the RH-NLTL and 14.83dB lower than the input power for the LH-NLTL. Also, we have observed that, generatlly, a RH-NLTL is useful in generating various multiple harmonics and a LH-NLTL is useful in generating a specific order of harmonic by adjusting a proper DC vias, input frequency and input power. These tendencies could be a good guideline to use NLTLs as a frequency multiplier.

The second harmonic light of an 842 nm diode laser was generated from a KNbO3 crystal in an external ring resonator. The power of the second harmonic light was about 0.8 mV at an input fundamental power of 87 mW. The laser frequency was stabilized to the resonance frequency of the ring resonator, and the frequency fluctuation was measured as about 3 MHz.
