EM simulator is used for acquiring EM(Electromagnetic) characteristics of conductor pattern as well as designing multi-layer VCO, Acquired EM characteristics of the circuit pattern was used like real components at nonlinear RF circuit simulator. Finally VCO is simulated at nonlinear RF circuit simulator. The material for the circuit pattern was Ag and the dielectric was DuPont #9599, which is applied for L TCC process. The structure is constructed with 4 conducting layer. Simulated results showed that the output level was about 1[dBm], the phase noise was 102 [dBc/Hz] at 30[kHz] offset frequency, the harmonics -8dBc, and the control voltage sensitivity of 30[MHz/V] with a DC current consumption of l0[mA]

Many digital logic circuit simulators have been developed for the education on the experiments of digital logic circuits for college or high school students. But the existing simulators have some constraints on the number of inputs of gate, on the display of gate and wire states, and on the number of logic diagrams to be simulated. 1n this paper, we propose a simulator XSIM(eXpandable digital logic circuit SIMulator) which mitigates the constraints and allows multiple diagrams for large scale logics. It is expected that the multiple diagrams on large logics are helpful for team-teaching in school.

This paper presents the design and realization of a digital PV simulator with a Push-Pull Forward (PPF) circuit based on the principle of modular hardware and configurable software. A PPF circuit is chosen as the main circuit to restrain the magnetic biasing of the core for a DC-DC converter and to reduce the spike of the turn-off voltage across every switch. Control and I/O interface based on a personal computer (PC) and multifunction data acquisition card, can conveniently achieve the data acquisition and configuration of the control algorithm and interface due to the abundant software resources of computers. In addition, the control program developed in Matlab/Simulink can conveniently construct and adjust both the models and parameters. It can also run in real-time under the external mode of Simulink by loading the modules of the Real-Time Windows Target. The mathematic models of the Push-Pull Forward circuit and the digital PV simulator are established in this paper by the state-space averaging method. The pole-zero cancellation technique is employed and then its controller parameters are systematically designed based on the performance analysis of the root loci of the closed current loop with $k_i$ and $R_L$ as variables. A fuzzy PI controller based on the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model is applied to regulate the controller parameters self-adaptively according to the change of $R_L$ and the operating point of the PV simulator to match the controller parameters with $R_L$. The stationary and dynamic performances of the PV simulator are tested by experiments, and the experimental results show that the PV simulator has the merits of a wide effective working range, high steady-state accuracy and good dynamic performances.

This paper introduces a hardware simulator for the LVRT operation analysis of the grid-tied PMSG wind power system with a power dissipation circuit. The power dissipation circuit, which is composed of chopper and resistor, suppresses the sudden increase of DC-link voltage in the back-to-back converter of the grid-tied PMSG wind power system. The LVRT operation was first analyzed using computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC. A wind power simulator including the power dissipation circuit and the fault simulator composed of variac and IGBT were built to analyze the LVRT operation. Various experiments were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the power dissipation circuit for the LVRT operation. The developed hardware simulator can be extensively utilized for the analysis of various LVRT operations of the grid-tied wind power system.

This study is concerned with analysis and reliability evaluation of LV circuit in Cab Cubicle system which controls train to keep safety in High Speed Train. LV circuit is operated with diagnosis system as safety system. In this paper, we suggest a design and an implementation method to analyze LV circuit or trace fault area in LV circuit. This simulator uses 28 package modules and examines input and output by equations. So, user can trace where is fault area. The implemented system can be expected to be useful for long term test and evaluation of circuit in high speed train systems. We expect reduction to diagnosis area or repair time by this simulator.
