Many communication systems require bandpass filters with sharp skirt frequency characteristics in order to avoid the interferencce, which results in more order in the filter design. However, because of the limited Q values bandpass filters made of small sized ceramic resonators suffer from relatively large ripples at the band edges as the order of the filter increases. In order to compensate the large ripples while maintaining the sharp skirt frequency we propose a new RF amplitude equalizer. The equalizer made of two pole bandpass filter and an amplifier whose amplitude characteristics are the reverse of those of the bandapss filter. At the cellular band 9-pole bandpass filter with 10 MHz bandwidth exhibits 3 dB ripple when 8mm*8mm ceramic coaxial resonators are used. We added the RF equalizer to this filter and the flatness is improved as less than 1 dB.

This paper proposes a new design for quick battery charger systems for electric vehicles that consists of a three-phase inverter and a full-bridge converter which use the phase-shift method. The 3-phase inverter controls the input and DC-link voltage by use of a current controller and a voltage controller. The full-bridge converter transfers the DC-link voltage to a fixed output voltage. Designs for the output-side converter and controller for improved performance are proposed in this paper. Design schemes for the filter and controller of an input-side inverter are also presented. Furthermore, the paper proposes a compensation method for the offset current that is caused by switch failure and circuit problems. Simulations and experiments have been performed on a 50kW-battery charger system that is suitable for vehicles. The presented results verify the validity of the proposed method and the superiority of the system over conventional methods.

Distubance of air-gap sensors by rail irregularities are the serious problem deteriorating the performance in the electromagnetic suspension (EMS) systems. Thus, this paper proposes the output feedback controller with discrete kalman filter for the EMS systems. The discrete kalman filter estimate true state value and output feedback controller guarantee stability. The benefit of this scheme are shown by simulation. Therefore air-gap disturbance are rejected successfully.

In this paper, a planar type bandpass filter in multilayered PCB is presented. The multilayered PCB structure has some advantages on fabricating microwave devices such as the size reduction and ability of tight coupling by folding or embedding. The proposed BPF has two transmission zeros at the both sides of the center frequency by using independent electric and magnetic coupling structure. The designed BPF with four layer teflon PCBs of dielectric constant 2.94 has dimensions of 24x20x1.524 in mm, center frequency of 2.47GHz and bandwidth of about l00MHz. A good agrement is achieved between the measured result and the simulated one. The influences of air gaps between the layers are also analyzed and presented.

This paper deals with the rapid charger which is the mid-type between the slow and fast chargers in the aspect of charging time. In its functions, it can perform the Active Power Filter(APF) function without changing the topology besides the charging function. In addition, to perform the charging and APF function, this paper proposes the mode selection algorithm. The operation of the charger that has APF function and the mode selection algorithm are verified by the simulation and experiment.

The purpose of this paper is to carry out Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and use criticality in order to determine risk priority number of the components of electric power installations in Engineering college building of D university. In risk priority number, GROUP A had 7 failure modes; more specifically, Transfomer had 4 modes, Filter(C)(1 mode), LA(1 mode), and CB(MCCB)(1 mode), and thus 4 components had failure modes. In terms of criticality, high-grade group a total of 16 failure modes, and 7 components-LA(1 mode), CB(MCCB)(1 mode), MOF(2 modes), PT(1 mode), Transformer(7 modes), Cable(3 modes), and Filter(C)(1 mode)-had failure modes. Comparison of risk priority number and criticality was made. The components which had high risk priority number and high criticality were Transformer, Filter(C), LA, and CB(MCCB). The components which had high criticality were MOF and cable. In particular, Transformer(RPN: 4 modes, Criticality: 7 modes) was chosen as an intensive management component.

Recently, the market of Electric Vehicle(EV) is increasing more and more than before. Thus a new heater for the EV is required. The PTC devices may be used the heater for the EV. In this paper, a simple DC-DC Converter is proposed as the PTC Heater for the EV. The proposed circuit was optimally desired to decrease the stress of the power devices and reduce the current ripples. To apply the result of the test in the laboratory to the actual EV system with the high DC voltage, ripple current, average current and output peak current are predicted by using the least-squares method. Finally, the proposed circuit is validated by various experiments.

Fuel cell is spotlighted as next energy source of future. The fuel of vehicle will be changed from fossil fuel such as gasoline, diesel to hydrogen. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) will be used to fuel cell vehicle because of its suitability. PEMFCs need oxygen for cathode. Because PEMFCs in vehicle use air for oxygen, air pollutant will be effect to performance of PEMFC. In this study, we examine a type of filter and pollutant gas how can be effect to performance of fuel cell electric vehicle.

This study is focusing on the trade-offs between the passband ripples and transition bands of the Chebyshev BPF, which is converted by using the Chebyshev LPF that is well known as a proto-type analog filter. It is also focusing on the trade-offs between the passband ripples and transition bands of the cascading Chebyshev BPF, as well as, the trade-offs between the two BPFs. The study finds the frequency responses of the proto-type analog LPF, the Chebyshev BPF and the cascading Chebyshev BPF. The study shows the results as comparative analysis tables. The study designs the 10th Chebyshev BPF in order to analyze it easily. The simulation results show that the Chebyshev BPF decreases about 55% of the transition band for the -2.5[dB] passband ripple comparing to the -0.5[dB] passband ripple. This study shows the effectiveness and economic feasibility in the restricted frequency communication environment for the decrease of the transition band as providing the passband ripple margin.
