A straightforward method for optimal determining of a high frequency inductor's parasitic capacitance is presented. The proposed estimation method is based on measuring the inductor's impedance samples over a limited frequency range bordering on the resonance point considering k-dB deviation from the maximum impedance. An optimized solution to k could be obtained by minimizing the root mean squared error between the measured and the estimated impedance values. The model used to provide the estimations is a parallel RLC circuit valid at resonance frequency which will be transferred to the real model considering the mentioned interval of frequencies. A straightforward algorithm is suggested and programmed using MATLAB which does not require a wide knowledge of design parameters and could be implemented using a spectrum analyzer. The inputs are the measured impedance samples as a function of frequency along with the diameter of the conductors. The suggested algorithm practically provides the estimated parameters of a real inductance model at different frequencies, with or without design information. The suggested work is different from designing a high frequency inductor; it is rather concentration of determining the parameters of an available real inductor that could be easily done by a recipe provided to a technician.

In this paper, a distributed amplifier is designed using distributed network synthesis that provides the optimum absorption capability of a capacitance. Transfer functions of filters, which consist of the amplifier, are synthesized by a low-pass Chebyshev approximation. Capacitances that a filter network can absorb are calculated as a function of its minimum insertion loss(MIL) and ripple. Active devices in a distributed amplifier are modeled as equivalent circuits by using their S-parameters, and their equivalent capacitances are absorbed into filter structures by properly adjusting the MIL and ripple of a transfer function. As an application example, a distributed amplifier with the gain of about 12.5dB is designed that operates over the frequency range between 0.1 and 7.5GHz. Experimental results prove that distributed network synthesis, which considers capacitance absorption capability, is useful to the design of distributed amplifiers.

This paper presents about an example of circuit design and characteristics of inverter according to the variable capacitance of the DC voltage source separation capacitor used in ZVS-HB type high frequency resonant inverter. The soft switching technology known as ZVS is used to reduce turn off loss at switching. In the event the capacitance of the DC voltage source separation capacitor is varied, the analysis of inverter circuit has generally described by using normalized parameter and operating characteristics have been evaluated in terms of switching frequency and parameters. According to the calculated characteristics value, a method of the circuit designs and operating characteristic of the inverter is also presented in this paper. In addition, this paper proves the validity of theoretical analysis through the experiment. This proposed inverter shows that it can be practically used in future as power source system for the lighting equipment of discharge lamp, DC-DC converter etc.

In this paper, we propose the method to measure the capacitances using not LCR meter but capacitance to voltage(C/V) conversion. And we design the analog MUX circuits that convert 192 channels to 6 MUX channels in order to implement the diagnosis of multi-channel ultrasonic probe. This paper derives the conversion function that converts the digital voltage of each MUX channel to the capacitance using the least squares method because the circuit characteristics that convert the voltage of each MUX channel to the capacitance are different. The developed prototype illustrates the performance test results that the measure times are measured by within 4sec and the measure error rates of maximum, minimum, and average values are within 5% in terms of the repeated measurements of all 192 channels.

In this paper, self-resonant characteristics of transformers were analyzed in accordance with changes of characteristics regarding to the stray capacitance, the volume of winding and the winding ratio were organized by formulas. Generally, the stray capacitance is considered as an unnecessary factor in processing transformers design as well as one of the inherent characteristics. In particular, these characteristics can be appeared clearly in the high frequency driving and Electrical resonance occurs in transformer, according to coupling with a magnetic factor at a particular frequency. In the case of high-voltage output applications, such as medical equipments, It is required to output high-voltage gain. Therefor, If Self-Resonant Characteristic is applied to High-Voltage transformer design, Not only the transformer and circuit but also related the system size can be reduced. So we propose it as one of additional high voltage transformer design methods.

This paper deals with an implementation method for the one chip microprocessor(8097)-based capacitance type wave recorder for a measuring real-time wave height. The system was developed to make it possible to real-time remote sensing the wave height by deploying the RS-232/422/485 communication methods. The system test results for the developed system such as linearity, system stability and robustness of the disturbance was also verified through the performance tests of the system. Furthermore, the system was developed after due consideration with connecting the public network such as satellite mobile communication system and LAN, through the deploying VLSI(Very Large Scale Integration) design techniques.

This paper propose an advanced circuit for fingerprint sensor signal processing. We increased the voltage between ridge and valley by modifying the parasitic capacitance eliminating circuit of sensor plate. The analog to comparator was designed for comparing the sensor signal voltage with the reference signal voltage. We also propose an exective isolation strategy for removing noise and signal coupling of each sensor pixel. The 128$\times$144 pixel fingerprint sensor circuit was designed and simulated, and the layout was performed.

The mechanical integrity of generator stator windings is one of the critical point because the electric power is generated and conducted to power system through these windings. To cool down the heat emitted from generator winding during its operation, a majority of generators use de-mineralized water characterized by high cooling efficiency. Contrary to such the excellent cooling efficiency, however, the damaged bar insulations attributed to the absorption of cooling water in the generator stator winding lead to highly time- and cost consuming efforts as well as to service deterioration due to unexpected forced outage of generator. It is described that the new design of water absorption sensor using cross capacitance for generator in power plant in order to increase the reliability of water absorption diagnostics for generator stator bar insulation.

Various kinds of practical machines using the single phase induction motor (SPIM) are utilized to control both speed and torque. In particular, the capacitor-run type SPIM has the characteristic that allows the motor torque to be altered by auxiliary capacitance variation. In this study, we manifest an equivalent model having a more simplified configuration, and clarify the relationship between torque and capacitance. Also, we design an experimental controller that is able to perform speed control with ease by the phase angle control of the AC input voltage. Validity of this study is confirmed through the simulation and experimental results obtained.

In this study, unity current gain frequency f$\_$T/ of GaAs MESFET is predicted with different temperatures up to 400 $^{\circ}C$. Temperature dependence parameters of the device including intrinsic carrier concentration n$\_$i/ effective mass, depletion width are considered to be temperature dependent. Small signal parameters such as gate-source, gate dran capacitances C$\_$gs/ C$\_$gd/ are correlated with transconductance g$\_$m/ to predict the unity current gain frequency. The extrinsic capacitance which plays an important roles in high frequency region has been taken into consideration in evaluating total capacitance by using elliptic integral through the substrate. From the results, f$\_$T/ decreases as the temperature increases due to the increase of small signal capacitances and the mobility degradation. Finally the extrinsic elements of capacitances have been proved to be critical in deciding f$\_$T/ which are originated from the design rule of the device.
