A Boost Power Factor Correction (PFC) Converter employing Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) based Compound Active Clamping (CAC) technique is presented in this paper. An Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) Filer is connected at the line side of the proposed converter to suppress Electro Magnetic Interference. The proposed converter can effectively reduce the losses caused by diode reverse recovery. Both the main switch and the auxiliary switch can achieve soft switching i.e. ZVS under certain condition. The parasitic oscillation caused by the parasitic capacitance of the boost diode is eliminated. The voltage on the main switch, the auxiliary switch and the boost diode are clamped. The principle of operation, design and simulation results are presented here. A prototype of the proposed converter is built and tested for low input voltage i.e. 15V AC supply and the experimental results are obtained. The power factor at the line side of the converter and the converter efficiency are improved using the proposed technique.

In this paper, adaptive multi-stage parallel interference cancellation (PIC) receiver is considered for a multi-rate DS-CDMA system. In each stage of the adaptive multi-stage PIC receiver, multiple access interference (MAI) estimates are obtained using the sub-bit estimates from the Previous stage and the adaptive weights for the sub-bit estimates. The adaptive weights are obtained by minimizing the mean squared error between the received signal and its estimate through a least mean square (LMS) algorithm. It is shown that the adaptive multi- stage PIC receiver achieves smaller BER than the matched filter receiver, multi-stage PIC receiver, and multi-stage partial PIC receiver for the multi-rate DS-CDMA system in a Rayleigh fading channel.

Narrowband signals can be treated like a single tone interference at the receiver which demodulates wideband signals spectrum overlaid at the same frequency band. In this paper, the single tone interference is effectively suppressed by the use of a multicarrier DPSK direct-sequence(DS) spread spectrum(SS) with maximal-ratio(MR) combining instead of notch filter, which is hard to implement. A noncoherent DPSK system is considered because it is more realizable and does not require any complicate phase tracking, compared with a single carrier system subject to a constraint system bandwidth, and their performance comparisons are validated through simulation. We also propose a suboptimal-ratio(SR) combining which yields uniform and tight low bound on the performance of the MR combining, and then system parameters re optimized by theoretically evaluating the low bound, since an exact analysis appears intractable.

The coexistence among different systems is a major problem in communications. Mutual interference between different systems should be analyzed and mitigated before their deployment. The paper focuses on two aspects that have an impact on the system performance. First, the coexistence analysis, i.e. evaluating the mutual interference. Second aspect is the coexistence techniques, i.e. appropriate system modifications that guarantee the simultaneous use of the spectrum by different technologies. In particular, the coexistence problem is analyzed between ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) and narrow bandwidth (NB) systems emphasizing the role of spectrum sensing to identify and classify the NB interferers that mostly affect the performance of UWB system. A direct sequence (DS)-time hopping (TH) code design technique is used to mitigate the identified NB interference. Due to the severe effect of Narrowband Interference on UWB communications, we propose an UWB transceiver that utilizes spectrum-sensing techniques together with mitigation techniques. The proposed transceiver improves both the UWB and NB systems performance by adaptively reducing the mutual interference. Detection and avoidance method is used where spectrum is sensed every time duration to detect the NB interferer's frequency location and power avoiding it's effect by using the appropriate mitigation technique. Two scenarios are presented to identify, classify, and mitigate NB interferers.

In this paper, an efficient signal interference control technique to improve the high convergence speed of LMS algorithms is introduced in the adaptive transversal filter of DS/SS. The convergence characteristics of the proposed algorithm, whose coefficients are multiply adapted in a symbol time period by recycling the received data, is analyzed to prove theoretically the improvement of high convergence speed. According as the step-size parameter ${\mu}$ is increased, the rate of convergence of the algorithm is controlled. Also, an increase in the stop-size parameter ${\mu}$ has the effect of reducing the variation in the experimentally computed learning curve. Increasing the eigenvalue spread has the effect of controlling which is downed the rate of convergence of the adaptive equalizer. Increasing the steady-state value of the average squared error, proposed algorithm also demonstrate the superiority of signal interference control to the filter algorithm increasing convergence speed by (B+1) times due to the data-recycling LMS technique.

Optical properties of $TiO_2$ thin films prepared by ion-beam assisted deposition(1BAD) were investigated. The result shows that the refractive index of IBAD TiOL thin films measured by an envelope method is closer to that of the corresponding bulk than that of conventionally deposited $TiO_2$ thin films and the packing density of IBAD $TiO_2$ thin films measured by a vacuum-to-air spectral shift of films increases drastically. The vacuum-to-air spectral shift of an IBAD $(TiO_2/SiO_2)$ multilayer interference filter was negligible as compared to that of a conventional interference filter and so the IBAD filter is denser and more stable optically than the conventional filter. Also it is observed that the IBAD and conventional $TiO_2$ thin films are stoichiometric and amorphous.

One of the most important design parameters in a microwave radio transmitting system is to reduce spurious response from the output spectrum of the transmitting system. A Local oscillator (LO) is seldom totally pure and at the least contain some LO harmonic signals. A LO or any oscillator is a transmitter if provided with a suitable radiator, conduction, or leakage path. Where mixer is employed in the output of the LO mixer generated spurs can be increased by RF amplifier. To reduce LO leakage, notch filter or band pass filter has been conventionally used. In this paper, the leakage reduction(LR) signal, which has the same magnitude and the opposite phase with respect to LO leakage signal, is added to the output of mixer of the wireless LAN system. The LO leakage is reduced by 30 dB more than the conventional methods do. The proposed method is potentially suitable for low-cost, reliable, and simple application of monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs)

In this paper the internal or external of the ships mounted electronic devices due to the propagation of electromagnetic interference and to prevent malfunction EMC filter was designed and fabricated. It was designed and fabricated with Ni-Zn ferrite beads of high permeability to make large inductance as the inductor and Feed-through capacitors, which did not have any resonance point, to restraint resonance effectively, and the characteristics was evaluated. The results from the 0 kHz$\sim$1.5 GHz bandwidth of $25{\sim}70$ dB were able to obtain excellent attenuation characteristics. And, when the Electric Fast Transient (EFT) of 4 kV in the level 4 of IEC 61000-4-4 was induced, it was soon attenuated more than 1/6 to 600 V. Therefore, it was confirmed that the developed EMC filter can be used for suppressing ships mounted electromagnetic interference between electronic devices.

PD(Partial Discharge) signal have the range from several kHz to several GHz. External noises don't give any interference to discerning PD signals with high frequency bandwidth between several hundreds MHz to several GHz but, in the range between several decades kHz to several MHz, are big obstacles to prevent from discriminating PD signals. Therefore, selecting appropriate filter to decrease the influence of noise is important problem. PD signals have the characteristics both short duration and non-continuous pulse train. For separating PD signals from External noises, some different filtering methods different from conventional ones are needed and wavelet filtering method was convinced to be suitable filtering method in various investigations. This paper has simulated PD signal and various noises and investigated the influences for the performance of wavelet filter by varying the components relative to designing of wavelet filter and constructed suitable one. For the purpose of convincing the performance of wavelet filter, real PDs were produced in needle to plane electrode structure. This small PD signal was mixed with external noises and filtered with wavelet filter. We have obtained apparent PD signals and noises are well suppressed by wavelet filter.
