In this study, the electromagnetic coupling through a narrow transverse slit in the upper wall of a parallel-plate waveguide(PPW) covered by a dielectric slab with a nearby conducting strip on the slab is considered. Two contrastive coupling phenomena, cavity-type and parasitic-type, observed in the geometry have been distinguished by differences in the resonant strip lengths and offset positions, induced strip current, radiation pattern, frequency bandwidth, and electromagnetic field distributions near the coupling slit.

A high frequency and energy density pulse transformer is a critical component of a high voltage power supply in a traveling wave tube (TWT) amplifier system. In this paper, processes of design, manufacturing, and test of the transformer are discussed. Primary voltage of the transformer is 240 V. The transformer secondary have two outputs which are 4100 V (Helix) and 2050 V (Collector). Total output power is 860 W. Normal operating frequency of the transformer is 10 kHz. In high energy density pulse transformers, temperature rise is a main problem during its operation. From our study, it was found that resonant current due to leakage inductance and stray capacitance was the main cause of temperature rise. This happens because of the inherently high turn-ratio in high voltage transformers. Solutions to reduce stray components are presented.

In this paper, a new control scheme of Class-E inverter for reducing the crest factor of electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps using Pulse-Frequency-Modulation (PFM) is introduced The lifetime of the lamps is guaranteed by decreasing the lamp crest factor and voltage stress of the switch is significantly decreased by a new scheme although conventional Class-E inverter is used in this paper The proposed PFM control scheme doesn't used any auxiliary circuit. The proposed control strategy is executed by feeding back the input current. and the Zero-Voltage-Switching (ZVS) is ensured by operating beyond resonant frequency. Therefore, the control principles of proposed method are explained in detail and its validity is verified through several simulated results.

We theoretically study the dynamics of water tetramer in intense femtosecond laser pulses with different frequencies. The simulations are carried out by incorporating the molecular dynamics method non-adiabatically into the time-dependent local-density approximation (TDLDA-MD). Three typical scenarios of water tetramer including the normal vibration with enlarged OH bonds, free OH bonds breaking and the pure Coulomb explosion are presented by investigating the electronic and ionic dynamics. The result indicates that the ionization is enhanced and the corresponding fragmentation effect as well as the damping of the dipole moment are found more notably when increasing the laser frequency especially when the frequency falls in the resonant region of the absorption spectra. The study of the level depletion reveals that the ratio of the emission amount from different levels can be controlled by changing the laser frequency referring to the Keldysh parameter.

In this paper, we designed and implemented the Dual Band Dipole Antenna with Tapered Microstrip Balun for WLAN Access Point. Two dipole antennas with different resonant frequency and the antenna structure combined additional line were implemented for dual band performance. In order to feed the balun current, the tapered microstrip balun was used. Produced the Dual Band Antenna shows a special quality. The quality is that all VSWR is less than 1.5 in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands in 802.11 standards, and it profits not less than 1.7dBi having typical Dipole Antenna pattern the very "a form of 8"pattern and Omni-directional pattern.

There are many kinds of electronic ballast for various kinks of fluorescent lamps. The PFC(Power Factor Correction) circuit in electronic ballast is classified in two types. One is the active PFC and the other is the passive PFC circuit. The active type PFC is higher than the passive type, but the cost of the passive type is cheaper than the active type. In this study, we introduced the modified passive PFC method which is called semi-boost PFC, and then we analyzed and experimented the electronic ballast which is composed of the semi-boost PFC, half-bridge, and LCC resonant tank. Experimental results showed that the $$PF{\geq_-}0.98$$, $$CF{\leq_-}1.4$$ and input current $THD{\approx}15%$.

The resonance characteristic of microstrip antenna with an airgap between the substrate layer and ground plane is investigated. The study is performed by using a rigorous Green’s function formulation in the spectral domain and Galerkin’s moment method calculation. The numerical convergence using sinusoidal basis functions, the unknown surface current distribution in the rectangular patch, is discussed. Numerical result for the effects of airgap and patch length on the complex resonant frequencies of the rectangular microstrip structure are also presented

This paper is a record of the study on a high efficiency and high power chopper based on the new soft switching method QRAS (Quasi~resonant Regenerating Active Snubber) designed for a Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV). This power chopper is basically proposed for 25kHz soft switching. To confirm the practicality and effectiveness of the converter, the fabrication of a prototype-model using IGBTs was completed. Additionally, a 8kW rating test, a light load test, a current discontinuous mode test and a stable operation resonance test was completed. The circuit geometry, the basic operation, and the 8kW one-tenth-prototype test results are reported with a $97.5\%$ efficiency measurement.

This paper presents a soft switching converter to achieve the functions of zero voltage switching (ZVS) turn-on for the power switches and dc voltage step-up. Two circuit modules are connected in parallel in order to achieve load current sharing and to reduce the size of the transformer core. An active snubber is connected between two transformers in order to absorb the energy stored in the leakage and magnetizing inductances and to limit the voltage stresses across the switches. During the commutation stage of the two complementary switches, the output capacitance of the two switches and the leakage inductance of the transformers are resonant. Thus, the power switches can be turned on under ZVS. No output filter inductor is used in the proposed converter and the voltage stresses of the output diodes is clamped to the output voltage. The circuit configuration, the operation principles and the design considerations are presented. Finally, laboratory experiments with a 340W prototype, verifying the effectiveness of the proposed converter, are described.

긴 수명과 높은 효율로 차세대 조명기구로 사용되는 LED를 구동하기 위하여, 일반적으로 역률 보정을 위한 PFC 단과 출력 조절을 위한 DC/DC 단이 직렬로 연결된 구조를 사용하게 된다. 이때 PFC 과정에서 DC 링크 전압이 120Hz 전압 맥동을 갖게 되는데, 이는 DC/DC 단에도 영향을 주며 최종 출력전류 역시 120Hz 저주파 맥동을 갖게 된다. 본 논문은 LED 조명용 LLC 공진 컨버터의 120Hz 저주파 맥동 전류 리플을 저감 방법에 관한 연구이다. 기존 제어기에 전류 리플을 보상하여 제어하는 방법에 대하여 설명하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 이를 확인한다.
