본 논문에서는 Quasi Yagi 효과를 갖는 다이폴 안테나와 CPS 구조의 공진기를 이용한 정류회로를 이용하여 5.8 GHz에서 무선전력 전송이 가능한 렉테나를 설계하였다. CPW 급전 구조를 이용하여 CPW의 접지 면을 다이폴의 반사기로 사용하여 야기 우다 안테나와 비슷한 구조로 기존의 다이폴 안테나보다 이득을 높이는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 CPS 구조의 공진기를 이용하여 2차 고조파가 제거된 정류회로를 설계하였다. 그 결과 본 논문에서 제안한 렉테나는 부하저항이 1.4 $k{\Omega}$에서 61% 의 RF-to-DC Power 최대 변환 효율을 얻었다.

다중 폴딩 스너버 망(folding snubber network)에 의하여 동작되는 새로운 형태의 영전압 영전류 스위칭 의사 공진형 컨버터를 제안한다. 이 새로운 컨버터는 기존의 의사 공진형 컨버터에 수동소자인 케패시턴스와 다이오드로 구성된 폴딩 스너버 망(folding snubber network)을 결합하여 구성된다. 컨버터의 주 정류 다이오드의 역 회복 손실(reverse recovery loss)은 다중공진 기법으로 억제된다. 이 제안된 컨버터는 매우 높은 효율을 구현하므로 고 출력에 매우 적합하다. 이 개념을 다른 컨버터에도 적용시켜 새로운 소프트 스위칭 의사 공진형 컨버터(soft switching quasi-resonance converter) 군을 할 수 있다.

A set of novel silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) devices' characteristics have been analyzed and verified under the electrostatic discharge (ESD) stress. A ring-shaped diffusion was added to their anode or cathode in order to improve the holding voltage (Vh) of SCR structure by creating new current discharging path and decreasing the emitter injection efficiency (${\gamma}$) of parasitic Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT). ESD current density distribution imitated by 2-dimensional (2D) TCAD simulation demonstrated that an additional current path exists in the proposed SCR. All the related devices were investigated and characterized based on transmission line pulse (TLP) test system in a standard $0.5-{\mu}m$ 24 V CDMOS process. The proposed SCR devices with ring-shaped anode (RASCR) and ring-shaped cathode (RCSCR) own higher Vh than that of Simple SCR (S_SCR). Especially, the Vh of RCSCR has been raised above 33 V. What's more, their holding current is kept over 800 mA, which makes it possible to design power clamp with SCR structure for on chip ESD protection and keep the protected chip away from latch-up risk.

This paper presents an improved single-stage ac-dc LED-drive flyback converter using the transformer-coupled lossless (TCL) snubber. The proposed converter is derived from the integration of a full-bridge diode rectifier and a conventional flyback converter with a simple TCL snubber. The TCL snubber circuit is composed of only two diodes, a capacitor, and a transformer-coupled auxiliary winding. The TCL snubber limits the surge voltage of the switch and regenerates the energy stored in the leakage inductance of the transformer. Also, the switch of the proposed converter is turned on at a minimum voltage using a formed resonant circuit. Thus, the proposed converter achieves high efficiency. The proposed converter utilizes only one general power factor correction (PFC) control IC as its controller and performs both PFC and output power regulation, simultaneously. Therefore, the proposed converter provides a simple structure and an economic implementation and achieves a high power factor without the need for any separate PFC circuit. In this paper, the operational principle of the proposed converter is explained in detail and the design guideline of the proposed converter is briefly shown. Experimental results for a 40-W prototype are shown to validate the performance of the proposed converter.

스테레오 음향 반향 제거기는 각 채널 신호 사이의 상호상관(cross-correlation)이 크기 때문에 수신실의 반향경로를 추정하는 적 응필터 계수가 반향경로를 잘못 추정하거나 수렴이 느려진다. 본 논문에서는 스테레오 신호의 차성분(difference factor)의 절대값을 이용하여 전처리기를 구성함으로써 스테레오 신호의 상호상관을 줄여 스테레오 음향 반향 제거 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다 기존의 반파 정류 필터를 이용한 전처리기와 비교하여 제안하는 전처리기가 반향 제거 성능이 우수함을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해서 확인한다. 그리고 전송실의 경로변화에도 성능이 저하되지 않는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, In order to solve the problem is proposed using a new type of electronic ballast that the traditional magnetic ballasts operated at 50-60Hz have been suffered from noticeable flicker, high loss, large crest factor and heavy weight which is composed of rectifier, active power corrector, series resonant half bridge inverter, micro-controller and piezoelectric transformer for driving for driving T5 fluorescent lamp were manufactured. The proposed electronic ballast operated at high frequency (about 75kHz) shows a input power factor of more than 0.995, total harmonic distortion of less than $12\%$ and lamp current crest factor of less than 1.5, respectively. Output power and efficiency showed 28w and $85\%$, respectively. Accordingly, it is considered that the ballast using piezoelectric transformer can replace the typical electronic ballast.

In this paper, a non-dissipative snubber for reducing the switching losses in the step down converter is proposed. The conventional step down converter, e.g., buck converter, suffers from serious switching losses and consequentially heat generation because of its hard switching. Thus, it is unsuitable for high switching frequency operation. Reduction of the reactive components' size, such as an output inductor and capacitor, is difficult. The proposed snubber can slow down the increasing current slopes and switch voltage at turn-on and turn-off transients, thereby significantly reducing the switching loses. Additionally, the slowly increasing current during switch turn-on transition, can effectively solve the output rectifier diode reverse recovery problem. Therefore, the proposed non-dissipative snubber not only leads to the efficiency of converter operation at high switching frequency but also reduces the reactive components size in proportion to the switching frequency. To confirm the validity of the proposed circuit, theoretical analysis and experimental results from a 150 W, 1 MHz prototype are presented.

Small hydro power, among other renewable energy resources, has been evaluated to have enough development value because it is a clean, renewable and abundant energy resource. In addition, small hydro power has the advantage of low cost development by using existing facilities like sewage treatment plants, water works and similar resources. But in the case of small hydro power systems, there are problems with degraded operation efficiency of turbine due to changes in flow rates. In order to overcome this, variable speed control can be achieved by using the power rectifier and permanent magnetic synchronous generator(PMSG) as a possible method to respond to the changes in flow rates. In this study, a commercial ANSYS CFD code was used to analyze the performance of 10kW class propeller hydro turbine and to also investigate flow characteristics at variable flow rates and runner vane.

This paper deals with a 3-phase voltage disturbance generator for a performance test of custom power devices such as dynamic voltage restorers (DVR), dynamic uninterruptable power supplies (UPS), etc. The operating principle of the proposed circuit is described in each mode of voltage sag, swell, outage, and unbalance. The main components of the proposed disturbance generator are silicone controlled rectifier (SCR) thyristors, variable autotransformers, and transformers. Therefore, the disturbance generator can be implemented with a considerably low cost compared to the conventional pulse width modified (PWM) inverter and converter type generators. Furthermore, it has good features of high reliability with simple structure, high efficiency caused by no PWM switching of the SCR thyristors, and easy control with a wide variation range. To verify the validity of the proposed scheme, simulations and experiments are carried out.
