In wireless power transfer (WPT) system, the conventional compensation topologies only can provide a constant current (CC) or constant voltage (CV) output under their resonant conditions. It is difficult to meet the CC and CV hybrid charging requirements without any other schemes. In this study, a switching hybrid topology (SHT) is proposed for CC and CV electric vehicle (EV) battery charging. By utilizing an additional capacitor and two AC switches (ACSs), a double-side LCC (DS-LCC) and an inductor and double capacitors-series (LCC-S) topologies are combined. According to the specified CC and CV charging profile, the CC and CV charging modes can be flexibly converted by the two additional ACSs. In addition, zero phase angle (ZPA) also can be achieved in both charging modes. In this method, because the operating frequency is fixed, without using PWM control, and only a small number of devices are added, it has the benefits of low-cost, easy-controllability and high efficiency. A 3.3-kW experimental prototype is configured to verify the proposed switching hybrid charger. The maximum DC efficiencies (at 3.3-kW) of the proposed SHT is 92.58%.

Deformation in the hysteresis loop of $Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$ (PZT) thin films with various Zr/Ti ratios has been studied by varying the top electrode preparation method and the annealing temperature. Pt/PZT/Pt capacitors was found to be positively poled due to dc plasma potential generated during reactive ion etch (RIE) of Rt. Internal field is formed by space charges trapped at domain boundaries. Aging phenomenon such as constriction in the middle of the hysteresis loop was observed in the PZT film with top electrode deposited by sputtering. Top electrode annealing restores the hysteresis loop by removing the space charges. As Zr/Ti ratio decrease, voltage shift increases and an-nealing temperature at which internal field disappears also increases.

In this work, we used a novel RF-CSP to develop a broadband amplifier MMIC, including all the matching and biasing components, for Ku and K band applications. By utilizing an ACF for the RF-CSP, the fabrication process for the packaged amplifier MMIC could be simplified and made cost effective. STO (SrTiO$_3$) capacitors were employed to integrate the DC biasing components on the MMIC. A pre-matching technique was used for the gate input and drain output of the FETs to achieve a broadband design for the amplifier MMIC. The amplifier CSP MMIC exhibited good RF performance (Gain of 12.5$\pm$1.5 dB, return loss less than -6 dB, PldB of 18.5$\pm$1.5 dBm) over a wide frequency range. This work is the first report of a fully integrated CSP amplifier MMIC successfully operating in the Ku/K band.

The parallel operation of voltage source inverters using stator windings of high power three-phase induction motors was proposed in this paper. Most current high power induction motors with more than 4 electric poles have their external terminals installed so that windings of each phase can be approached from the outside. High power induction motors can be driven by parallel-operating several voltage source inverters through these external terminals. This way, in case a certain inverter breaks down, the operation torque will get decreased but the system can maintain its operation with the other inverters, so it can cope more effectively with breakdowns. Moreover, by providing phase difference to the switching movements of each inverter, it can increase equivalent switching frequency, which helps achieve good characteristics such as the reduction in the ripple of output torque, the reduction in the ripple of input current, and the reduction in the size of DC capacitors. Besides, since power is divided into each inverter, it can also decrease the ifluence of EMI occurring in the system. The characteristics of the proposed method were proved through computer simulations in this paper.

The deposition condition to obtain stoichiometric $Ta_2$O\ulcorner films, which is still controversial, using magnetron reactive sputtering was studied. The films were deposited by varying $O_2$gas flow rate with sputtering power and Ar gas flow rate of 200W and 60 sccm fixed. At the conditions of $O_2$ gas flow rate over 20 sccm, amorphous Tantalum oxide films with the refractive index of 2.1 and dielectric constant of 25 were deposited. Among those films, the capacitors dielectric properties of the film deposited at the condition of $O_2$ gas flow rate 50 sccm was best, the leakage current was 1$\times$10\ulcornerA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at the electric field strength of 0.5 MC/cm and the breakdown field strength was over 2.0 MV/cm. This result could be explained from the analysis comparing with a standard sample using RBS because the composition of the film deposited at this condition was closest to the stoichiometric $Ta_2$O\ulcorner. The result of XPS analysis convinced that this film was stoichiometric $Ta_2$O\ulcorner film. A maximum cathode voltage was observed when $O_2$gas flow rate was 30 sccm. This shows that the Schiller's proposition that one can obtain stoichiometric films at the condition of maximum cathode voltage is not correct and more oxygen than that of the maximum voltage condition is necessary to deposit the stoichiometric Ta$_2$O\ulcorner films.

In this paper, the characteristics of the inductor and capacitor, which are the basic components of the circuit, are constructed in a form that can be used in the LTCC multilayer. The inductors and capacitors used for the analysis were designed with rectangular spiral structures and MIM structures inside dielectrics with a dielectric constant of 7, respectively. The measured results were extracted from each element of the equivalent circuit proposed by the curve fitting method and verified the validity of the proposed equivalent circuit based on the extracted results. The analyzed inductor and capacitor were implemented in the form of library and proved its usefulness by applying to Elliptical type 5th LPF design. The LPF was measured through practical production, and as a result, the insertion loss in the passband DC ~ 3.7 GHz was up to 1.0 dB, the return loss was 19.2 dB, and the attenuation in the rejection band was 23.9 dB, which was close to the design goal.

A portable primary inductance standard set that includes a Maxwell-Wien bridge and a 10 mH standard inductor installed in a thermostat has been developed at KRISS. Two auxiliary resistance capacitance networks (analogous to a 'Wagner ground') provide excellent stability of the bridge balance and impose less strict requirements on the components of these networks. Removable capacitance and ac-dc resistance standards used in the bridge arms made it possible to reproduce 10 mH and 100 mH inductance values in the frequency range of 500 Hz to 3 kHz. From investigations of this standard and preliminary comparison with VNIIM (D. I. Mendeleyev Institute for Metrology), the results have demonstrated that the bridge can be used as a part of the transportable inductance standard with a measurement uncertainty within (1-3) $\mu$H/H at frequencies of 1 kHz and 1.6 kHz. The application of the bridge as a constituent part of the transportable standard gives us an opportunity to eliminate the influence of the standard inductors.

Power quality promotion has received increasing attention because of the wide use of semiconductor devices in recent decades. Reactive power regulation is crucial to ensuring the stable operation of power systems. In this study, a continuous reactive power controller, which is referred to as a parallel-connected magnetic energy recovery switch (MERS), is developed to regulate voltage or power factor in power grids. First, the operating principle is introduced, and a mathematical model is built. Second, a new control method for restraining current harmonics and the peak voltages of capacitors is presented. Using the proposed method, the MERS shows a wide range in terms of reactive power compensation. Finally, the performance of the proposed controller is demonstrated through computer simulations and experiments. Unlike STATCOMs, the proposed controller entails low losses, adopts a small dc capacitor, and offers ease of use.

In this paper, CPLD(Complex Programmable Logic Device) controller designed with VHDL is developed. With the controller, the harmonics from 3 phase diode rectifier are suppressed and power factor is also improved. The input current of diode rectifier is drawn from the ac mains only during the period in the ac cycle when the instantaneous voltage is greater than the voltage across the dc-link capacitor. The three bidirectional switches rated at very small power are installed in a conventional three phase diode rectifier. Using CPLD controller, an idle current charges to capacitors continuously. Results of simulation and experimental demonstrate a reduction of harmonics, a improvement of power factor and THD.

The DC bias controls to change the value of capacitance in the parallel resonator for tunning the pass band. To validate the proposed design method, we fabricated the band pass filter which has tunable center frequency from 200MHz to 245MHz.
