This paper presents an improved signal processing technique in the square-wave-type voltage injection method for IPMSM sensorless drives. Since the sensorless method based on the square-wave voltage injection does not use low-pass filters to get an error signal for estimating rotor position and allows the frequency of the injected voltage signal to be high, the sensorless drive system may achieve an enhanced control bandwidth and reduced acoustic noise. However, this sensorless method still requires low-pass and band-pass filters to extract the fundamental component current and the injected frequency component current from the motor current, respectively. In this paper, these filters are replaced by simple arithmetic operations so that the time delay for estimating the rotor position can be effectively reduced to only one current sampling. Hence, the proposed technique can simplify its whole signal process for the IPMSM sensorless control using the square-wave-type voltage injection. The proposed technique is verified by the experiment on the 800W IPMSM drive system.

Bulk Current Injection(BCI) test is a method of injecting current into Integrated Circuit(IC) using a current injection probe to qualify the standards of Electromagnetic Compatibility(EMC). This paper, we propose a microstrip coupler structure that can replace the BCI current injection probe that is used to inject a RF noise in standard IEC 62132-part 3 documented by International Electrotechnical Commission. Conventional high cost BCI probe has mostly been used in testing automotive ICs that use high supply voltage. We propose a compact microstrip coupler which is suitable for immunity testing of low power ICs. We tested its validity to replace the BCI injection probe from 100 MHz to 1,000 MHz. We compared the power[dBm] that is needed to generate the same level of noise between current injection probe and microstrip coupler by sweeping the frequency. Results show that microstrip coupler can inject the same level of noise into ICs for immunity test with less power.

When surges and electromagnetic pulses from lightning or power conversion devices are considered, it is desirable to evaluate grounding system performance as grounding impedance. In the case of large-sized grounding electrodes or long counterpoises, the grounding impedance is increased with increasing the frequency of injected current. The grounding impedance is increased by the inductance of grounding electrodes. This paper presents the measured results of frequency-dependent grounding impedance and impedance phase as a function of the length of counterpoises. In order to analyze the frequency-dependent grounding impedance of the counterpoises, the frequency-dependent current dissipation rates were measured and simulated by the distributed parameter circuit model reflecting the frequency-dependent relative resistivity and permittivity of soil. As a result, the ground current dissipation rate is proportional to the soil resistivity near the counterpoises in a low frequency. On the other hand, the ground current dissipation near the injection point is increased as the frequency of injected current increases. Since the high frequency ground current cannot reach the far end of long counterpoise, the grounding impedance of long counterpoise approaches that of the short one in the high frequency. The results obtained from this work could be applied in design of grounding systems.

This paper proposes a neutral-point voltage ripple reduction of high frequency injection sensorless control of IPMSM fed by a three-level inverter. The high frequency voltage injection method has been successfully applied to sensorless control for IPMSM at low speed region. In the process of high frequency voltage injection sensorless control for IPMSM, the neutral-point voltage ripple is increased. It should be reduced because it distorts the output current and decreases a life time of DC-link capacitor. The proposed method in this paper reduces the neutral-point voltage ripple by compensating the reference voltage, and the compensation value is calculated simply with reference voltages and currents. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation results.

This paper proposed a new direct vector control scheme using high frequency current injection. This scheme has some attractive features such as using no flux sensor or speed sensor, robustness of parameter variation, capability of accurate vector control at very low speed. Compared to other direct vector control scheme, this scheme doesn't depends on phase delay and difference of magnitude of estimated flux, rotor resistance and all inductances except stator resistance. These features are proved by computer simulation and experimental results.

A VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) and a divide-by-4 high speed frequency divider are implemented using 65nm CMOS technology for 60GHz wireless communication system. The mm-wave VCO was designed by NMOS cross-coupled LC type using current source. The architecture of the divide-by-4 high speed frequency divider is differential ILFD (Injection Locking Frequency Divider) with varactor to control frequency range. The frequency divider also uses current sources to get good phase noise characteristics. The measured results show that the VCO has 64.36~67.68GHz tuning range and the frequency divider divides the VCO output by 4 exactly. The high output power of 5.47~5.97dBm from the frequency divider is measured. The phase noise of the VCO including the frequency divider are -77.17dBc/Hz at 1MHz and -110.83dBc/Hz at 10MHz offset frequency. The power consumption including VCO is 38.4mW with 1.2V supply voltage.

To obtain a low ground resistance in high resistivity soil or in insufficient place such as downtown, long vertical ground rods are often used. However, if the lightning current or fault current with high frequency flows into the grounding system, the ground impedance is remarkedly increased. This paper presents how the impulse and fault current works on the long. vertical ground rods associated with incoming points. When the test current was injected at the bottom of ground rod, the potential waveform of ground rod includes the oscillation with high frequency.

In energy injection resonant AC-AC converters, due to the low frequency effect of the AC input envelope and the low energy injection losses requirement, the constant and steady control of the high frequency AC output envelope is still a problem that has not been solved very well. With the aid of system modeling, this paper analyzes the mechanism of the envelope pit on the resonant AC current. The computing methods for the critical damping point, the falling time and the bottom value of the envelope pit are presented as well. Furthermore, this paper concludes the stability precondition of the system AC output. Accordingly, an optimal control method for the AC output envelope is put forward based on the envelope prediction model. This control method can predict system responses dynamically under different series of control decisions. In addition, this control method can select best series of control decisions to make the AC output envelope stable and constant. Simulation and experimental results for a contactless power transfer system verify the control method.

The ground potential rise generated by the switching surge or lightning stroke may be dangerous to personnel and cause damage to electronic control parts. For a first step to the transient performance analysis. high frequency impedances of grounding grids have been calculated and discussed. Grounding grids include 7 square grids from $10m{\times}10m$ to $80m{\times}80m$. The high frequency current was injected into the center and a corner of the grounding grid. The calculation results indicate that the impedance of the grounding grid is significantly influenced by frequency and the point of injection of the current. and the effective radius of a large grounding grid may be represented in $15{\sim}20m$.

1.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ DFB with absorption grating of 1.55${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ InGaAsP layer was fabricated. This new type of DFB laser shows self-plusation for DC operation. At low level of injection the relation between the pulsation frequency and the injection current shows similar behavior with the relaxation oscillation of ordinary laser and at high level of injection the pulsation frequency decreases compared to the relaxation oscillation. Period doubling, period 3 and 4 were observed for AC modulation. In case of period doubling the waveform shows only one pulse within a period without any accompanying subsidiary pulses and the oscillation frequency was quite stable. The pulse widths as short as 58.5 ps was achieved with AC modulation. We propose the time division multiplexing application of this kind of DFB laser.
