New type of DC voltage regulator using optical fiber as sense line

  • Published : 1989.10.01

Abstract

Described is a DC voltage regulator of new type where an optical fiber is used as a sense line to transmit the PFM signal, which represents the load voltage and its change, from the load to the controller so as to make the equivalent sense-line length short. The prototype version provides a load voltage change rate of 2.3% over the current range of 0A to 5A at 15V DC, with an output impedance of 0.06ohm.
