A new asymmetrical pulse width modulation (PWM) half bridge converter with improved ZVS performance is proposed. The ZVS operation of the proposed converter can be maintained from no load to full load conditions since the magnetizing current of the transformer contributes to the ZVS operation at light loads without considerable conduction loss of the transformer and switch. Synchronous rectification is employed to reduce the rectification loss. Operational principles, large signal modeling, ZVS analysis and design equations are presented. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed converter can achieve a large ZVS range and significant improvement in efficiency for a 100W (5V, 20A) prototype converter.

In general, LLC converters show great promise in applications that require high efficiency, especially under light load conditions. In particular, LLC converters feature wide gain capability with pulse-frequency modulation and zero voltage switching over entire load conditions. However, output voltage increases in light load conditions. In this study, Bode plot and impedance asymptotes analyses were conducted to obtain insights into the regulation characteristics of LLC converters under light load conditions. To improve the regulation characteristic of LLC converters, a new resonant tank with an additional capacitor is proposed. The design guideline for the proposed LLC converter is determined by the Bode plot and impedance asymptotes analyses. Therefore, the proposed LLC converter achieves the light load regulation while maintaining the advantages of typical LLC converters.

In this paper, a novel type of auxiliary active snubbingcircuit assisted quasi-resonant soft-switching pulse width modulation inverter is proposed for consumer induction heating equipments. The operation principle of this high frequency inverter is described using switching modes and equivalent circuits. This newly developed series resonant high frequency inverter can regulate its high frequency output AC power under a principle of constant frequency active edge resonant soft- switching commutation by asymmetrical PWM control system. The high frequency power regulation and actual power conversion efficiency characteristics of consumer induction heating (IH) products using the proposed soft-switching pulse width modulation (PWM) series load resonant high frequency inverter evaluated. The practical effectiveness and operating performance of high frequency inverter are discussion on the basis of simulation and experimental results as compared with the conventional soft-switching high frequency inverter.

Ultra-wideband(UWB) is a killer technology for short-range wireless communications. In the past, most of the UWB research focused on physical layer but the unique characteristics of UWB make it different to design the upper layer protocols than conventional narrow band systems. Cross-layer protocols have received high attention for UWB networks. In this paper, we investigate the performance of two physical layer schemes: Time Hopping Binary Pulse Position Modulation(TH-BPPM) and Time Hopping Binary Pulse Amplitude Modulation (TH-BPAM) with proposed private MAC protocol for UWB ad-hoc networks. From pulse level to packet level simulation is done in network simulator ns-2 with realistic network environments for varying traffic load, mobility and network density. Our simulation result shows TH-BPAM outperforms TH-BPPM in high traffic load, mobility and dense network cases but in a low traffic load case identical performance is achieved.

This paper presents a new stand-alone wind-based induction generator system with constant frequency and adjustable output voltage. The proposed generator consists of a six-phase cage-rotor induction machine with two separate three-phase balanced stator windings and a three-phase space vector pulse width modulation inverter that operates as a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). The first stator winding is fed by the STATCOM and used to excite the machine while the second stator winding is connected to the generator external load. The main frequency of the STATCOM is determined to be constant and equal to the load-requested frequency. The generator output frequency is independent of the load power demand and its prime mover speed because the frequency of the induced emf in the second stator winding is the same as this constant frequency. A sliding mode control (SMC) is developed to regulate the generator output voltage. A second SMC is used to force the zero active power exchanged between the machine and the STATCOM. Some simulation and experimental results are presented to prove the validity and effectiveness of the proposed generator system.

전디지털 가전을 위한 전력선통신에서의 전력선은 통신기능과는 별도로 부하와 연계된 전력전송이라는 본래의 이용 목적이 존재하므로 일반 전화선이나 케이블선과 같은 전용 통신선로에 비하여 전력 부하의 변동특성에 따른 전송로상의 통신에 대한 잡음 및 간섭특성이 수시로 발생하는 특성을 나타내고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이러한 디지털 가전용 전력선통신 기반의 부하변동특성을 실측데이터를 기반으로 모델링 하여 각각의 부하변동특성에 따른 복수개의 변 복조 방식 성능을 평가하여, 부하변동별 최적의 변 복조 방식을 도출하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 부하변동 특성에 따른 복수개의 변 복조 방식 성능을 비교 분석하기 위하여, 부하변동특성에 따른 다양한 잡음 환경 하에서의 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 정량적으로 분석하고, 하드웨어 구현 등을 통해 제안하는 최적의 변 복조 방식에 대한 전력선통신 시스템의 유용성을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 다중 직교 부반송파 변조 기반의 새로운 UHF RFID 통신 시스템을 제안한다. 태그 송신-리더 수신 통신에서는 4 부반송파를 이용하여 1.6 Mbps까지 전송속도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 회로의 복잡도 증가를 억제하면서도 전송 속도를 향상시키기 위해서, 태그는 부반송파로서 구형파를 사용하고 각 부반송파는 각각의 부하변조기를 이용한다. 다중 직교 부반송파 기반의 변조 방식을 사용하였기 때문에 제안한 통신 방식은 기존의 UHF 대역 RFID 규격을 만족한다. 리더는 OFDM 복조기를 사용한다. 태그가 리더의 CW 반송파를 역산란하므로 리더 복조기에는 반송파 주파수 오프셋 보정회로는 필요하지 않다. 실험에서는 개발 시스템은 10.8 dB의 잡음 밀도당 비트에너지 비에서 10-5의 비트오율 성능을 가짐을 보인다.
