This paper describes a low-cost single-phase active power filter, which consists of a half-bridge P\A미1 inverter with a s simple control circuit. In order to verify the performance of proposed active power filter, many computer simulations w with EMTP codes and experimental works with a hardware prototype were done. Both results confirm that the p proposed active power filter shows excellent performance to eliminate the harmonics generated in the single-phase non l linear‘ load. The active power filter has advantage of low implementation cost and compact size. using a half-bridge i inverter and a simple control circuit with only one current sensor. So. it can be fabricated as a plug-in type.

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the new current-current negative feedback (CCNF) voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), which suppresses 1/f induced low-frequency noise. By means of the CCNF, the high-frequency noise as well as the low-frequency noise is prevented from being converted into phase noise. The proposed CCNF VCO shows 11-dB reduction in phase noise at 10 kHz offset, compared with the conventional differential VCO. The phase noise of the proposed VCO is -87 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset frequency from 5.5-GHz carrier. The proposed VCO consumes 14.0 mA at 2.0 V supply voltage, and shows single-ended output power of -12.0 dBm.

The title of this project is "A Simple Interactive 3D Interior Design Application for Living Room - Cost Management", focusing on developing an application that enables costing and designing to be executed concurrently in interior design phases. This is because any changes made at costing phase after design phase is completed, it will potentially lead to unnecessary increase in cost and time. Therefore, the objective of this project is aimed to devise a cost management module to be included in the proposed application, allowing interior designer to make cost-based decision at the designing phase itself. This can be achieved through its proposed functions which include total cost update, budget management, cost estimator calculator and material list generation. The methodology being proposed in this project is Prototyping Development, categorized under Rapid Application Development (RAD), by starting off with planning, analysis, design and implementation phases are performed concurrently and repeatedly in a cycle to produce a prototype until the application is completed. In the end of this project, the developed prototype is expected to contribute a better solution towards cost management in interior design.

This paper presents a single-phase energy measurement IC to measure electric power quantities. The entire IC includes two programmable gain amplifiers (PGAs), two ${\sum}{\Delta}$ modulators, a reference circuit, a low-dropout (LDO) regulator, a temperature sensor, a filter unit, a computation engine, a calibration control unit, registers, and an external interface block. The proposed energy measurement IC is fabricated with $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology and housed in a 32-pin quad-flat no-leads (QFN) package. It operates at a clock speed of 4,096 kHz and consumes 10 mW in 3.3 V supply.

In this paper, we propose a new digital blind in-phase/quadrature-phase (I/Q) mismatch compensation technique for image rejection in a direct-conversion receiver (DCR). The proposed image-rejection circuit adopts DC offset cancellation and a sign-sign least mean squares (LMS) algorithm with a unique step size adaptation both for a fast and precise I/Q mismatch estimation. In addition, several performance-optimizing design considerations related to accuracy, speed, and hardware simplicity are discussed. The implementation of the proposed circuit in an FPGA results in an image-rejection ratio (IRR) of 65 dB, which is the best performance with modulated signals, along with an adaptation time of 0.9 seconds, which is a tenfold increase in the compensation speed as compared to previously reported circuits. The proposed technique will be a promising solution in the area of image rejection to increase both the speed and accuracy of future DCRs.

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.

This study proposes a new synthetic test circuit (STC) for HVDC thyristor valve tests. The conventional STC with a 2-phase chopper requires a 3-phase transformer, a 3-phase diode rectifier, and an IGBT to facilitate the off state of an auxiliary thyristor. In the proposed STC, these three components are replaced with one diode and one resistor, which result in the simplified implementation of the hardware of the STC. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed scheme.

A novel control method of a three-phase PWM inverter with LC filter is proposed. The transfer function of LC filter is the same as that of 2nd order low pass filter(2nd LPF) which has a zero damping ratio. A simple method of implementing 2nd LPF with damping ratio is to add resistor to inductor or capacitor of LC filter. In an industrial application, it is not practical to adopt damping resistor because it results in losses being proportional to square of current flowing through resistor. Instead of using damping resistors, the proposed active damping control(ADC) utilizes all pass filter(APF) and considers inherent processing delay of digital controller. The overall transfer function of the proposed method is the same as a 2nd LPF and its damping ratio is also controllable via control variables. Detailed design and implementation of controller is also presented. Experiments are conducted with a 7.5kVA induction motor drive system controlled by PWM converter and inverter. Test waveforms are also presented to verify the proposed LC filter control algorithm.
