Power grids are large complicated networks in use around. An absolute phase value for a particular unknown-phase line at a local site should be identified for the operation and management of a 3-phase distribution network. The phase shift for a specific point in the line, as compared with a phase reference point at a substation, must be within a range of ${\pm}60^{\circ}$ for correct identification. However, the phase shift at a particular point can fluctuate depending on the line constants, transformer wiring method, line length, and line amperage, etc. Conducted in this study is a theoretical formulation for the determination of phase at a specific point in the line, Simulink modeling, and analysis for a distribution network. In particular, through evaluating the effects of unbalanced current loads, the limitations of the present phase identification methods are described.

By cascading RHTL (Right-Handed Transmission Line) and LHTL (Left-Handed Transmission Line), we fabricated a BPF (Band Pass Filter) in which the phase propagation at the pass band center frequency is fixed as we want. We utilized a positive phase propagation of a RHTL which is a form of LPF (Low Pass Filter) and negative phase propagation of LHTL which is a form of HPF (High Pass Filter). Therefore, if RHTL and LHTL are cascaded, a BPF can be constructed and the phase propagation inside the passband is decided by the number of RHTLs and LHTLs. In this paper, we provide a detailed theory related to it and proved the theory with an actual experiment. In the experiment, we fabricated two BPFs with similar passband. One with $90^{\circ}$ phase shift and the other with $-90^{\circ}$ phase shift at the center of passband. The result of simulation and actual experiment agrees well. This proves the suggested theory is correct and feasible.

A compact dual-band three-way metamaterial power divider is proposed that has three in-phase outputs. Fully printed composite rightand left-handed (CRLH) unequal and equal power dividers are first implemented for 900-MHz and 2.4-GHz bands with the power-division ratios of 2:1 and 1:1, respectively. An initial 1:1:1 power divider is then achieved by incorporating the input of the two-way equal block into an output of the unequal block, and trimming the interconnection parameters. The condition of an identical phase at the three outputs of the power divider is then met by devising a hybrid CRLH phase-shift line to compensate for the different phase errors at the two frequencies. This scheme is confirmed by predicting the performance of the power divider with circuit analysis and full-wave simulation and measuring the fabricated prototype. They results show agreement; the in-phase outputs as well as the desirable power-division are accomplished and outdo the conventional techniques.

In this paper, the phase shifter using the p-i-n diode is designed and analyze. The large phase shift can be achieved by the swithched-line and the hybrid branch line phase shifter, however the small phase shift can be achieved by the loaded-line phase shifter, according to the bias state of the p-i-n niode. The results of the experiment agree with those of computer simulation at the center frequency.

In this paper, a design and fabrication of miniaturized 5.3 GHz reflection type $360^{\circ}$ analog phase shifter with branch line coupler and $360^{\circ}$ variable reactance load. In order to miniaturize phase shifter, novel branch line coupler is proposed. The novel branch line coupler is miniaturized using transformation of transmission line to T and ${\pi}$ type equivalent circuit. The miniaturized branch line coupler has small size of above 50 % compared with conventional branch line coupler. For wide phase shift range, $360^{\circ}$ variable reactance load structure is adopted. Especially, the structure was improved for linear phase shift by adding transmission line which acts as an impedance transformer. The improved structure was miniaturized using the equivalent lumped-element of transmission line. The fabricated phase shifter with $15{\times}15mm^2$ shows wide phase shift of above $480^{\circ}$, the insertion loss of -4~-6 dB and the reflection loss of below -20 dB at 5.3 GHz under 0~10 V control voltage range.

A low loss reflection type analog phase shifter which is realized with two varactors and branch coupler. is described. A new design technique for the large phase shift is applied using short stub microstripe lines. This paper presented the realization of design and experimental results.

In this paper, in order to obtain a large differential phase shift with a little change in applied voltage, a ferroelectric reflective load circuit has been designed on top of barium strontium titanate $(Ba,Sr)TiO_3$ [BST] thin film. The design of the ferroelectric reflection-type phase shifter is based on a reflection theory of terminating circuit, which has a reflection-type analogue phase shifter with two ports terminated in symmetric phase-controllable reflective networks. To achieve large amounts of phase shift in low bias-voltage range, the effects of change of capacitance and transmission line connected with two coupled ports of a 3-dB $90^{\circ}$ branch-line hybrid coupler have been investigated. A large phase shift with a small capacitance change in the parallel terminating circuit has been demonstrated in the paper.

Novel coupled line phase shifters and its equivalent phase delay line for compact broadband phased array antennas are proposed. These phase control circuits are designed to be less complex, small size and to use a less number of active devices. The phase shifter is able to control a 120$^{\circ}$ phase shift continuously, and the phase delay line for a reference phase has a fixed 60$^{\circ}$ shifted phase. Both have the low phase error of less than $\pm$3.5$^{\circ}$ and the low gain variations of less than 1 ㏈ within the 300 MHz bandwidth. These proposed circuits are adequate to form the efficient beam-forming networks with compactness, broadband, less complexity, and low cost.

The shadow moire is one of the optical techniques which is able to give contour lines of an object with respect to a master grating plane. The moire patterns are issued from the superposition of a master grating and its shadow projected on the surface of an object. In case of the classical shadow moire method, the sensitivity was a few tenths millimeters. generally, it is difficult to use a phase shift method in shadow moire because it is impossible to obtain uniform phase shifts on the whole field. But in this study we use the fact that if the depth of object is much less than the distance between the observer and the master grating, and the object is displaced perpendicularly to the grating plane, phase shifts are almost uniform. Finally we obtained a better resolution by using a phase shift procedure and applied the phase shifting shadow moire to three dimensional shape measurement.

This paper proposes the optimal design method based on NDZ analysis to secure the islanding defection ability and to maintain the stability and power quality when the grid is connected. A PSiM-based model and analysis of the system is presented, specialty aimed at improving the effectiveness of phase shift anti-islanding method with frequency feedback, which causes the inverter current to be generated slightly lower or higher in frequency than the frequency of the terminal voltage. The proposed method can cause frequency jump with leading and lagging phase of output current in two line cycles. As a result, the proposed algorithm is more sensitive and reliable than the conventional phase shift method. Experimental results, on a 3 kW inverter connected to 220 V, 60 Hz utility, are discussed.
