In this paper, an isolated ZVS-PWM boost converter is proposed for single stage line conversion. For power factor correction, we used the half bridge topology at the primary side of isolation transformer permitting switching devices to operate under ZVS by using circuit parastics and operating at a fixed duty ratio near 50%. Thus the relatively continuous input current distortion and small size input filter are also achievable. The ZVS-PWM boost operation of the proposed converter can be achieved by using the boost inductor $L_f$, main switch $Q_3$, and simple auxiliary circuit at the secondary side of isolation transformer. The secondary side circuit differ from a conventional PWM boost converter by introduction a simple auxiliary circuit. The auxiliary circuit is actived only during a short switching transition time to create the ZVS condition for the main switch as that of the ZVT-PWM boost converter. With a single stage, it is possible to achieve a sinusoidal line current at unity power factor as well as the isolated 48V DC output. Comparing to the two stage schemes, overall effiency of the proposed converter is highly improved due to the effective ZVS of all devices as well as single stage power conversion. Thus, it can be operated at high switching frequency allowing use of small size input filter. Minimum voltage and current stress make it high power application possible.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of a direct-conversion UHF RFID reader with the range correlation effects of the phase noise. Since a UHF RFIB system uses the same oscillator to generate the transmitted carrier and the local oscillation, the periodic interference and phase noise reduction effects occur due to time delay between two signals. Through exact theory and simulation, we verify how to cancel the periodic interference phenomena using I/Q diversity combining technique. And, we analyze phase noise reduction effects due to range correlation as a function of the tag-reader distance and the offset frequency Using these results, we simulate the symbol-error-rate performance with respect to phase noise with and without range correation effects. We show that the phase noise of the local oscillator has little effect on the symbol-error-rate performance because of phase noise reduction by range correlation.

In this paper, we propose a new CNN model to improve the recognition performance of command voice signals. This method obtains a spectrogram image after performing a short-time Fourier transform (STFT) of the input signal and improves command recognition performance through supervised learning using a CNN model. After Fourier transforming the input signal for each short-time section, a spectrogram image is obtained and multi-classification learning is performed using a CNN deep learning model. This effectively classifies commands by converting the time domain voice signal to the frequency domain to express the characteristics well and performing deep learning training using the spectrogram image for the conversion parameters. To verify the performance of the speech recognition system proposed in this study, a simulation program using Tensorflow and Keras libraries was created and a simulation experiment was performed. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that an accuracy of 92.5% could be obtained using the proposed deep learning algorithm.

In the dissertation, a power conversion system for fuel cell is composed of a PWM inverter with LC filter in order to convert fuel cell voltage to a single phase 220[V], In addition, new insulated DC-DC converters are proposed in order that fuel cell voltage is boosted to 380[V]. In this paper, it requires smaller components than existing converters, which makes easy control. The proposed DC-DC converter controls output power by the adjustment of phase-shift width using switch S5 and S6 in the secondary switch, which provides 93-97[%] efficiency in the wide range of output voltage. Fuel cell simulator is implemented to show similar output characteristics to actual fuel cell. Appropriate dead time td enables soft switching to the range where the peak value of excitation current in a high frequency transformer is in accordance with current in the primary circuit. Moreover, appropriate setting to serial inductance La reduces communication loss arisen at light-load generator and serge voltage arisen at a secondary switch and serial diode. Finally, TMS320C31 board and EPLD using PWM switching technique to act a single phase full-bridge inverter which is planed to make alternating current suitable for household.

This paper reports the development and performance evaluation of a backend system for real-time IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound) imaging. The developed backend system was designed to minimize the amount of logic and memory usage by means of efficient LUTs (Look-up Tables), and it was implemented in a single FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) without using external memory. This makes it possible to implement the backend system that is less expensive, smaller, and lighter. The accuracy of the backend system implemented was evaluated by comparing the output of the FPGA with the result computed using a MATLAB program implemented in the same way as the VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) code. Based on the result of ex-vivo experiment using rabbit artery, the developed backend system was found to be suitable for real-time intravascular ultrasound imaging.

It shows the peak-to-peak period jitter of 2 psec under no power noise and the power dissipation of 18mW at 2GHz through HSPICE simulation.

We report the development of solar flux receivers operating at 2.8 GHz to monitor solar radio activity. Radio waves from the sun are amplified, filtered, and then transmitted to a power meter sensor without frequency down-conversion. To measure solar flux, a calibration scheme is designed with a noise source, an ambient load, and a hot load at $100^{\circ}C$. The receiver is attached to a 1.8 m parabolic antenna in Icheon, owned by National Radio Research Agency, and observation is being conducted during day time on a daily basis. We compare the solar fluxes measured for last seven months with solar fluxes obtained by DRAO in Penticton, Canada, and by the Hiraiso solar observatory in Japan, and finally establish equations to convert observed flux to the so-called Penticton flux with an accuracy better than 3.2 sfu.

In this paper, a new converter for utility interactive photovoltaic system is proposed, the conventional utility interactive photovoltaic system is composed of a PWM inverter and a DC converter. However, the increased switching loss and the high frequency switching noise become a problem. the control accuracy of the system is made to lower by the dead time of the switching devices. and it becomes a cause of the lower conversion efficiency. In order to resolve those problems, we applied a non- dissipative snubber circuit to a converter, which generates the single phase absolute value of sinusoidal current. the converter consists of two switching devices and one capacitor which constitute a non-dissipative snubber circuit. the proposed circuit is very useful to minimize and increase efficiency, when it is used to an utility interactive photovoltaic system. it is confirmed by simulation that the proposed converter for new photovoltaic system has stable operation and good output.

In this paper an intonation conversion method is presented which provides the basic study on converting the original speech into the artificially intoned one. This method employs the other speaker's excitation signals as intonation information and the original vocal tract spectra, which are warped with the other speaker's ones by using DTW. as vocal features, and intonation converted speech signals are synthesized through short-time inverse Fourier transform(STIFT) of their product. To evaluate the intonation converted speech by this method, we collect Korean single vowels and sentences spoken by 30 males and compare fundamental frequency contours spectrograms, distortion measures and MOS test between the original speech and the converted one. The result shows that this method can convert and speech into the intoned one of the other speaker's.
