A class-E power amplifier is designed using 0.25$\mu$m standard CNMOS technology at 900MHz and the reliability characteristics are studied with the load network. The reliability characteristics is improved when a finite DC-feed inductor is used instead of RF choke. At the one you halt, the PAE(Power Added Efficiency) decreases from 58.0$\%$ to 35.7$\%$ and output power decreases from 120mW to 74mW in power amplifier using RF choke. However, when a finite DC-feed inductor is used with load the PAE decreases from 58.5$\%$ to 54.8$\%$ and output power decreases from 121mW to 112mW. From the simulated results, the class-E power amplifier with a finite DC-feed inductor shows superior reliability characteristics compared to rower amplifier using RF choke inductor.

This paper describes the parasitic capacitance modeling according to the coil structure, section bobbin and winding method for hybrid choke coil with reduced parasitic capacitance capable of the EMI attenuation of broad bands from lower frequency to higher frequency applied in the EMI attenuation filter of LED-TV SMPS. Especially, the hybrid choke coil with reduced parasitic capacitance($C_p$) proposed in this paper can reduces the parasitic capacitance($C_p$) by adopting the winding methods of rectangular copper wire, compared to the conventional common mode choke coil with the winding method of automatic type. The first resonant frequency of the proposed hybrid choke coil has a tendency to increase as the parasitic capacitance is smaller and its impedance characteristics, especially in the high frequency bands, improves as the first resonant frequency increases. In the future, the proposed hybrid choke coil with reduced parasitic capacitance shows it can be actually utilized in not only LED-TV SMPS but also various applications such as LED Lighting, Note-PC Adapter, and so forth.

With the object of developing a non-gap choke core, effects of annealing in oxygen atmosphere on magnetic properties for Fe$_{78}$Si$_{9}$B$_{13}$ amorphous alloy were investigated. After annealing for 2 hrs at 440 $^{\circ}C$, optimum magnetic properties for choke core were obtained, where the effective permeability was 180 and was almost constant up to several MHz, and the decrease in permeability upon large DC bias current of 12 A or DC bias magnetic field of 8,000 A/m was very little. Moreover the AC magnetic loss was very low as compared to the conventional choke cores. Upon the optimum annealing, the magnetic hysteresis loop was inclined accompanying the increase of coercive force and the appearance of fine crystallites of $\alpha$-Fe phase. The good choke core properties was considered to be due to the suppression of domain boundary motion and domain refinement by the crystallites.

In this paper, using the newly developed GaAs Schottky beam-lead diode made by Marconi company, we have developed and evaluated the waveguide type single-ended mixer at Q-band. The various components of the mixer were separately designed and optimized using the Super-Compact software. These studies included the design of the step waveguide impedance transformer and the RF-choke filter, and the optimization of a high and low impedance for the RF-choke filter. Moreover, this RF-choke filter pattern included a section to reject the second harmonic frequency of the RF signal. Finally, this Q-band mixer with 1.4GHz/400MHz IF frequency exhibits an average conversion loss of 5.3 dB over 33-50GHz bandwidth.

Unlike usual turbopump inducers, the axial flow pump tested operates very stably at design flow rate without rotating cavitation nor cavitation surge. Flow visualization suggests that this is because the tip cavity smoothly extends into the flow passage without the interaction with the leading edge of the next blade. However, at low flow rate and low cavitation number, choked surge and rotating choke were observed. Their correlation with the performance curve under cavitation is discussed and their instantaneous flow fields are shown.

This paper presents the development of two ANN models which can predict an optimum production rate by controlling choke size in oil well, and gas injection rate in gas-lift well. The input data was solution gas-oil ratio, water cut, reservoir pressure, and choke size or gas injection rate. The output data was wellhead pressure and production rate. Firstly, a range of each parameters was decided by conducting sensitive analysis of input data for onshore oil well. In addition, 1,715 sets training data for choke size decision model and 1,225 sets for gas injection rate decision model were generated by nodal analysis. From the results of comparing between the nodal analysis and the ANN on the same reservoir system showed that the correlation factors were very high(>0.99). Mean absolute error of wellhead pressure and oil production rate was 0.55%, 1.05% with the choke size model, respectively. And the gas injection rate model showed the errors of 1.23%, 2.67%. It was found that the developed models had been highly accurate.

Gas Discharge Tubes (GDTs) are widely used as surge protectors for communication applications due to their small internal capacitance. In these days, however, they are mostly used in combined configurations, because the sparkover voltage required to initiate the discharge process in the GDTs and the time taken for arc formation process can be large enough to damage to sensitive circuits. For GDTs with a considerably high initial residual voltage, we should limit the peak voltage using a TVS or filter. We made a hybrid SPD circuits of common-mode type and differential-mode type with the filter using common-mode choke. Also, we applied lightning impulse voltage and ring wave voltage which frequency bandwidth are different each other and verified the characteristics of hybrid SPD circuits according to waveshapes. We describe how the applied SPDs operate in protection process steps with the actual data obtained from the residual voltage measurement at each step. The experiment results show that the surge voltage reduction with the choke coil is more effective in differential-mode circuit than in common-mode circuit.

In this paper, a design of planar microwave bias-tee using lumped elements was presented. The bias-tee is composed of 2 blocks; DC block and RF choke. For this design of the bias-tee, a wideband capacitor was used for DC block. For a RF choke, a series connection of inductors which have different SRFs is used for a RF choke. In the RF choke, a series connection of resistor and capacitor was added in shunt to eliminate a loss from a series resonance. The designed bias-tee was implemented by using 1608 SMT chip components. The fabricated bias-tee was measured using Anritsu 3680K fixture which enables to remove an effect of a connector. The fabricated bias-tee presented -15 dB of return loss and -1.5 dB insertion loss at 10 MHz~18 GHz.

Gas Discharge Tubes (GDTs) are widely used as surge protectors for commnuication applications due to their small internal capacitance. In these days, however, they are mostly used in combined configurations, because the activation voltage required to initiate the discharge process in the GDTs for sufficient amount of time can be large enough to damage surge-sensitive protected circuits. For GDTs with a considerably high initial over-voltage value, we should limit the peak voltage using a TVS or filter. As for ZnO varistors, even though their performance for voltage restriction is excellent, their applications in high-frequency commnuication circuits have been limited because of higher internal capacitance when compared to the GDTs. In order to develop a surge protector for commnuication applications by taking advantages of these two devices, we built a combination circuit that connects a GDT and a ZnO varistor along with a choke coil in common and differential modes. We describe how the applied SPDs operate in protection process steps with the actual data obtained from the residual voltage measurements at each step. The experiment results show that the surge voltage restriction with the choke coil is more effective in 100 [kHz] RingWave voltage than in lightning impulse voltage.

In this paper, we analyze the effects of parasitic components of common-mode choke on the common mode and differential mode in a wide band, and we propose a simple method for high-frequency modeling. Common mode and differential mode 2-port networks were configured and the S-parameters in each mode were measured using a network analyzer. Equivalent circuit elements were extracted from the measured results to model a high-frequency equivalent circuit, and the validity was verified by comparing the measured S-parameters with the simulation results.
