A desing technique of 8 ports variable wave impedance generator (8P-VWIG) is described. The design technique employs not only a numerical algorithm to find the structure with arbitrary characteristic impedance, but also a numerical solution to analyze the uniform elementrognentic fields established inside the generator. The 8P-VWIG so obtained is shown to have good performance with the VSWR of less than 1.4 at any frequency of interest below which higher order mode begin to propagate. The measured first resonant frequency is 152.1 MHz. The 8P-VWIG is designed based on the concept of an expanded multi-transmission line(8 channel). It is especially useful for the electronmagnetic interference(EMI) and electronmagnetic susceptibility(EMS) testing since it maximizes usable test crosssectional area, and its is easy change the polarization, vertical or horizontal, of field.

A study has been made on the hydrodynamic forces on and the motion response of a sliding block in a bay within the framework of linear potential theory. To simplify the problem, following assumptions are made : The configuration of the bay is a long channel with narrow width, constant depth and straight coastline. Incident waves are long compared to the depth. We applied matched asymptotic expansion techniques. The flued domain is subdivided into three regions ; ocean, bay entrance, bay regions. Boundary-vague problems are solved first in each region. Then unknown coefficients are determined by matching individual solutions at the intermediate region between two neighboring legions. It is found that the motion of the block is greatly amplified at the resonant frequencies, in particular at the quarter wavelength mode. We examined the mechanism of negative added mass, which results from the localized hydrodynamic resonance.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a circuit consisting of a simmer power supply unit and a series trigger unit that can be applicable to xenon lamp driving. An LCC resonant converter based on the continuous conduction mode (CCM) is applied to the simmer circuit and by using the current output control it is possible to maintain the ionization of the lamp which has the negative resistance load characteristic. At the same time, in order to generate a high voltage, a series trigger circuit which has a number of capacitors and diodes is designed. The generated high trigger output voltage could ionize the xenon gas. This paper explains the configuration and features of the integrated circuit system, and verifies the proposed design and stable operation of the xenon lamp. The experimental and simulation results show the not only rationality but also stability of the proposed circuit.

This paper is given a full detail of mathematical analyses of input current and output voltage for a novel active type power factor correction (PFC) converter. These are compared with harmonics components of input current for a conventional PFC converter. The proposed PFC converter is constructed in using a new loss-less snubber circuit to achieve a soft switching of control device. Also the proposed converter for discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) eliminates the complicated circuit control requirement and reduces the size of components. The input current waveform in the proposed converter is got to be a sinusoidal form of discontinuous pulse in proportion to magnitude of ac input voltage under the constant duty cycle switching. Therefore, input power factor is nearly unity and the control method is simple. Particularly, the stored energy of loss-less snubber capacitor is recovered with input side and increases input current from resonant operation. The result is that input power factor of the proposed converter is higher than that of conventional PFC converter. Some simulative results on computer and experimental results are included to confirm the validity of the analytical results.

PCN-PZT piezoelectric acceleration sensors of annular shear mode voltage type were fabricated and their characteristics have been investigated. Field tests are also carried out. To avoid noise problems from the environmental conditions, acceleration sensors employed solid state micro-electronics for pre-amplifier. The calibration procedures based on the principle of the comparison method were adopted for investigating the characteristics of fabricated acceleration sensors. The voltage sensitivity and resonant frequency of fabricated acceleration sensors were 83mv/g, 23kHz, respectively. The lower and upper frequency limit were 4Hz and 9kHz, respectively. The variation of the voltage sensitivity showed 10% at $-406{\circ}C\; and\; 9%\; at\; 121^{\circ}C$ compared to that of reference temperature at $40^{\circ}C$.

A new DC/DC converter with zero voltage switching is proposed for applications with high input voltage and high load current. The proposed converter has two circuit modules that share load current and power rating. Interleaved pulse-width modulation (PWM) is adopted to generate switch control signals. Thus, ripple currents are reduced at the input and output sides. For high-voltage applications, each circuit module includes two half-bridge legs that are connected in series to reduce switch voltage rating to $V_{in}/2$. These legs are controlled with the use of asymmetric PWM. To reduce the current rating of rectifier diodes and share load current for high-load-current applications, two center-tapped rectifiers are adopted in each circuit module. The primary windings of two transformers are connected in series at the high voltage side to balance output inductor currents. Two series capacitors are adopted at the AC terminals of the two half-bridge legs to balance the two input capacitor voltages. The resonant behavior of the inductance and capacitance at the transition interval enable MOSFETs to be switched on under zero voltage switching. The circuit configuration, system characteristics, and design are discussed in detail. Experiments based on a laboratory prototype are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

Recently, the demand of LED(light-emitting diode) lighting is gradually enlarged by governmental saveenergy policy, which the LED lighting has been established compulsorily in new buildings, public institutions, and residential installations etc.. The LED lighting is driven by SMPS (switching mode power supply). The SMPS requires high efficiency because the SMPS changes a commercial ac power source to low voltage dc power source. Harmonic components that occur in the conversion process of SMPS decrease system power factor and deal great damage in electric power system. To improve such problems, this paper proposes a SMPS of high efficiency. The switching devices in the proposed SMPS are operated by soft switching technique using a new quasi-resonant circuit. The input ac current waveform in the proposed SMPS becomes a quasi-sinusoidal waveform proportional to the magnitude of input ac voltage under constant switching frequency. As a result, the proposed SMPS obtains low switching power loss and high efficiency, and its input power factor is nearly in unity.

The widely used power supply (Switched Mode Power Supply : SMPS) as a source in order to stabilize direct current for electronics or communication systems has merits, when it is compared to the existing source for stability, such as high efficiency, small size, light weight by means of switching process of the semiconductor device which controls the flow of power. However, due to existence of inductors and capacitors used for charging energy, the source part in electronic or communication systems hasn't reached the speed, that is supposed to get, for achieving smaller size and lighter weight. In order to got smallness in size, it is necessary to increase switching frequency. And that makes devices for measuring energy smaller. Nevertheless, the rise switching frequency brings increases in switching loss, inductor loss, and power loss. Also, the occurrence of surge and noise caused by high frequency switching is setting higher. The resonant converter has been considered as one of methods that give solutions for the problems of SMPS and that method has been paid attention as a source technology in electronics and communication.

Electromagnetic simulation was compared to the measurement with a network analyzer in the cavity resonator method which has been used for determining microwave quality factor. Scattering matrix $S_{12}$ obtained from the network analyzer was compared to the $S_{12}$ obtained from the simulation. The effects of the pore and the secondary phase of the dielectric resonator on the microwave quality factor were studied. From the simulated results, the dominant resonant $TE_{01\delta}$ mode was determined and the quality factor was observed to decrease with the pore and the secondary phase in the dielectrics.
