HVT(High Voltage Transformer) has been used to drive a magnetron in a microwave oven. This has some problems which are heavy weight, low efficiency and limit of output. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes a boost input type active clamp AC-DC converter for magnetron driving featuring the high efficiency and improved EMI characteristics. To verify the validity of the proposed converter operation, the prototype converter of 700W was built and tested.

Generally, design of feedback circuit for stable system is performed by pole-zero compensation. For the purpose of reliable and stable closed loop system, the compensator would be designed basing upon the analysis of dynamic characteristics. This paper presents analyzed results of dynamic characteristics of the boost input type ZVS converter using active-clamp circuit. The simulated results by using Matlab and the measured results by using HP4194A are presented.

This study presents an extended boost single-phase qZ-source DC-AC inverter for a single-phase photovoltaic system. Unlike the previously proposed single-phase qZ-source and semi-qZ-source inverters that achieve the same output voltage as that of the traditional voltage-fed full-bridge inverter, the proposed inverter can obtain higher output than input voltage. The proposed inverter also shares a common ground between DC input voltage and AC output voltage. Thus, possible ground leakage current problem in non-isolated grid-tied inverters can be eliminated with the proposed inverter. A 120 W prototype inverter is built and tested to verify the performance of the proposed inverter.

In this paper, we proposed the Z-source four-switch three-phase rectifier. As we know, the conventional Four-Switch Three-Phase Rectifier(FSTPR) has advantages of the lower cost and less complex switching control. However, The conventional FSTPR can only either perform buck or boost operation, it can only attain the buck-boost operation by adding another DC-DC converter. In addition, besides its narrow output voltage region, distortion of the input current is serious either. Thus, we proposed the Z-source FSTPR which has buck-boost function and better input current waveform by applying the Z-impedance network to the conventional FSTPR. The validity of the proposed system was confirmed by experiments.

This paper presents the analyzed results of dynamic characteristics including steady state characteristics of the boost input type ZVS converter using the active clamp circuit by the state space averaging method. From the results, it can be seen that the converter has the 5th order transfer functions and the stable closed loop characteristic is obtained by using the compensated error amplifier with 2-pole and 1-zero. The validity of all analyzed results are verified by measurement.

This Paper presents Sigma-Delta Modulation(SDM) schemes to generate switching waveform for a high-power factor boost-type rectifier. The SDM scheme can be implemented by simple digital algorithm unlike conventional PWM schemes with several hardware, and has the characteristics of spectrum-spreading and noise-shaping effects, which are profitable in harmonic reduction of input current in the boost-type rectifier. The comparison results of their spectrum performances shows that the 1st-order SDM has better harmonic suppression effect than conventional PWM scheme and Dithered SDM scheme.

This paper proposes PFC boost converter with soft switching for harmonics decrement and analyzes characteristics of PFC boost converter. In this technique power factor correction(PFC) is usually obtained by operating the PFC stage in the discontinuous current mode(DCM) Switching devices are operated for reducing current stress and electronical noise. As a result eliminate 3rd harmonic component and high power factor(PF) of the input line are verified by characteristics analysis and experimental results.

In this paper, the authors study the boost converter as a DC-DC converter like a Power supply and describe the investigation result about the two phase with interleaved boost converter which has the same effect that the switching frequency of the solid-state-switch is two times. As a result, the ripple of the input current and output current is better improved.

Harmonic analysis is important for PWM rectifiers with high powerfactor. This paper describes the harmonic analysis of input current in high powerfactor boost-type rectifier. The magnitudes of the harmonics are obtained through the current wave from analysis and the effect of source reactance is also analyzed.
