This paper presents a simple identification method for discrete-time low-order model of unknown delay process from pulse response. The key idea is to find the parameters of the model such that the first N moments of the unknown process and the model are equal. We first show that the k-th moment of a process can be determined by the moments of the input and output. The parameters and delay are estimated separately. It is shown that for a given delay, the parameters of the low-order model can be determined by solving linear equations in a matrix form. Delay of the model is estimated such that the integral of the absolute errors (IAE) of the candidate models with possible delays minimizes. The illustrative example shows that the proposed method can directly identify low-order models without order reduction process from a single pulse response.

New discrete time domain models for the peak current controlled (PCC) power LED drivers in continuous conduction mode include for the first time the effects of the time delay in the pulse-width-modulator. Realistic amounts of time delay are found to have significant effects on the average output LED current and on the critical inductor value at the boundary between the two conduction modes. Especially, the time delay can provide an accurate LED current for the PCC buck converter with a wide input voltage. The models can also predict the critical inductor value at the mode boundary as functions of the input voltage and the time delay. The overshoot of the peak inductor current due to the time delay results in the increase of the average output current and the reduction of the critical inductor value at the mode boundary in all converters. Experimental results are presented for the PCC buck LED driver with constant-frequency controller.

This paper presents the generation of the high voltage squarewave pulse using distributed RLC circuit. The demonstrated test was performed with the distributed RLC circuit which consists of the resistance, the inductance and the capacitance. Pspice simulation was also conducted about the experiment circuit. The result of the experiment was in good agreement with the result of the simulation. Theoretical analysis of the initial peak value at the squraewave pulse was derived from the results of the experiment and simulation. Additionally, the characteristics of the time delay was analyzed about the spherical gap switch and the surface discharge gap switch, respectively. It is concluded that the surface discharge gap switch is better than the spherical gap switch to reduce the time delay.

In this study, we designed multiple mesh circuit consisting of 3-6 meshes and pulse superposition one consisting of a 3 mesh, and fabricated the electrical power supply and the single elliptical resonator. We developed the two pulse superposition technique forming the step pulse shapes of pulsed Nd:YAG laser with single shot multivibrator and 2 SCRs. Laser beam generated by multiple mesh circuit and superposition one respectively irradiated target surface to analyze process state of surface with spark and vapor. And it was obtained experimental results that all superposition meshes had common points which the best efficiency was obtained at delay time 0[${\mu}s$], followed by, no superposition and obtained at delay time 250[${\mu}s$].

In manufacturing processes, various and suitable pulse shapes are required for the purpose of material processing. In order to make various pulse shapes with variable pulse length and high duty cycle, We have fabricated the power supply consisting 6 SCRs and the Pulse Forming Network(PFN) with the precise delay time control. So our control system has three switching circuits, 3 mesh PFN, and simmer circuit. In addition, we have designed and fabricated the PIC one-chip microprocessor(16F877) to control the delay time of sequential switching.

In this paper, a 12-bit high resolution, power and area efficiency hybrid digital pulse width modulator (DPWM) with process and temperature (PT) calibration has been proposed for digital controlled DC-DC converters. The hybrid structure of DPWM combines a 6-bit differential tapped delay line ring-mux digital-to-time converter (DTC) schema and a 6-bit counter-comparator DTC schema, resulting in a power and area saving solution. Furthermore, since the 6-bit differential delay line ring oscillator serves as the clock to the high 6-bit counter-comparator DTC, a high frequency clock is eliminated, and the power is significantly saved. In order to have a simple delay cell and flexible delay time controllability, a voltage controlled inverter is adopted to build the deferential delay cell, which allows fine-tuning of the delay time. The PT calibration circuit is composed of process and temperature monitors, two 2-bit flash ADCs and a lookup table. The monitor circuits sense the PT (Process and Temperature) variations, and the flash ADC converts the data into a digital code. The complete circuits design has been verified under different corners of CMOS 0.18um process technology node.

In this paper, we have identified the system instability factors in a bistatic radar system using pulse chasing and considered their effects on the bistatic receiver's MTI(Moving Target Indication) improvement performance. The pulse chasing is a method to efficiently scan a restricted search area within the limited transmitter power and time in a bistatic radar and to track a series of transmitted pulses using the receiver beam which has ideally matched to the pulse propagation rate. In this paper, we have discussed the interrelationship between the pulse chasing and time and frequency/phase synchronization and described the effects of the identified system instability factors on two kinds of MTI filter configuration, single delay-line and double delay-line, in the bistatic radar. And also, we have confirmed that the overall system improvement is restricted by a lower improvement factor among identified them, and discussed the allowable tolerance of the time and frequency/phase synchronization in the bistatic system.

It is very important to control synchronization by inter-network delay compensation in high speed synchronous optcial transmission network systems. In this study we designed a delay measurement system based on OTDR using Rayleigh backscatterer in order to compensate for time delay due to the length of optical fiber line. We observed waveform variations on both averaging time and peak power of laser pulse. Finally, we executed experimental demonstration on its accuracy and test repeatability by comparison to the methods practically used in the industry. Experimental results show maximum error of 0.06usec and standard deviation of 0.021usec, which means it's possibly applied to delay control system for mobile repeaters and stations.

This paper proposes a CMOS temperature sensor using inverter delay chains of the same size based on the pulse shrinking method. A temperature-pulse converter (TPC) uses two different temperature delay lines with inverter chains to generate a pulse in proportion to temperature, and a time-digital converter (TDC) shrinks the pulse using inverter chains of the same size to convert pulse width into a digital value to be insensitive to process changes. The chip was implemented with a $0.49{\mu}m{\times}0.23{\mu}m$ area using a $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process with a supply voltage of 3.3V. The measurement results show a resolution of $0.24^{\circ}C/bit$ for 9-bit data for a temperature sensor range of $0^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$.

In this study, a solid-state laser system adopting a new real time multi-discharge (RTMD) method in which three flashlamps are turned on consecutively was designed and fabricated to examine the pulse width and the pulse shape of the laser beams depending upon the changes in the lamp turn-on time. That is, this study shows a technology that makes it possible to make various pulse shapes by turning on three flashlamps consecutively on a real-time basis with the aid of a PIC one-chip microprocessor, With this technique, the lamp turn-on delay time can be varied more diversely from 0 to 10 ms and the real-time control is possible with an external keyboard, enabling various pulse shapes. In addition, longer pulses can be more widely used for industrial processing and lots of medical purposes.
