This paper presents the design of the feed forward controller to improve on the non-interference control performance of a single PWM converter in parallel for high-speed trains. The feed forward controller is designed to minimize the interference generated by converter switching in parallel operation of PWM converters. The gain value of the feed forward controller is calculated by inductance values of the input transformer. However, it is difficult to decide this gain value exactly because inductance values are changed by the operation condition of an input transformer. In this paper, the proposed design of feed forward controller can exactly decide the gain value using the leakage inductances estimated by detecting the variation of input current. the validity of the proposed feed forward controller is proved through the simulation results.

Compared with Si MOSFETs, the GaN FET has many advantages in a wide band gap, high saturation drift velocity, high critical breakdown field, etc. This paper compares the electrical properties of GaN FETs and Si MOSFETs. The soft-switching condition and power loss analysis in a flyback-forward high gain DC/DC converter with a GaN FET is presented in detail. In addition, a comparison between GaN diodes and Si diodes is made. Finally, a 200W GaN FET based flyback-forward high gain DC/DC converter is established, and experimental results verify that the GaN FET is superior to the Si MOSFET in terms of switching characteristics and efficiency. They also show that the GaN diode is better than the Si diode when it comes to reverse recovery characteristics.

The combination of a buck converter and a forward converter can be considered to accomplish a high step-down non-isolated converter. To decrease the insufficient step-down ratio of a regular buck converter and to distribute switch voltage stress, a forward-integrated buck (FIB) converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed interleaved DC-DC converter provides an additional step-down gain with the help of a forward converter. In addition to its simple structure, the transformer flux reset problem is solved and an additional magnetic core reset winding is not required. The operational principle and an analysis of the proposed FIB converter are presented and verified by experimental results obtained with a 240 W, 150 V/24 V prototype.

The emergence of wide channel bandwidth wireless standards requires the use of a highly linear, wideband integrated CMOS baseband chain with moderate power consumption. In this paper, we present the design of highly linear, wideband active RC filters and a digitally programmable variable gain amplifier. To achieve a high unity gain bandwidth product with moderate power consumption, the feed-forward compensation technique is applied for the design of wideband active RC filters. Measured results from a $0.5{\mu}m$ CMOS prototype baseband chain show a cutoff frequency of 10 MHz, a variable gain range of 33 dB, an in-band IIP3 of 13 dBV, and an input referred noise of 114 ${\mu}Vrms$ while dissipating 20 mW from a 3 V supply.

본 논문은 실제적인 변압기 운전환경에서 변화하는 승압형 인덕턴스를 실시간으로 추정하여 그 값을 통해 이득값을 계산하는 전향제어기를 제안하였다. 승압형 인덕턴스는 입력 전류의 변화분과 입력 교류 전압의 측정치만을 이용하여 추정되고, 그 값은 최소자승법을 적용하여 최적화 된다. 제안된 전향제어기는 변압기 운전 환경의 변화에도 강인한 제어가 가능하며, 입력 전류의 고조파 성분을 감소시켜 간섭현상에 따른 성능 저하를 최소화 할 수 있다. 제안된 기법의 타당성은 시뮬레이션과 실험 결과를 통해 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 인지무선통신에서 중요한 기술 중 하나인 스펙트럼 센싱의 Hidden node의 문제나 셀룰라 시스템에서 셀 경계에서 CPE(Customer-Primise equipments)의 낮은 SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio)로 인한 센싱 성능 저하를 해결하기 위해 CPE들의 협력릴레이 기법을 사용한 협력 스펙트럼 센싱을 제안하고 검출확률 성능을 분석한다. 송신단과 수신단 사이의 릴레이(Relay) 적용된 협력 스펙트럼 센싱은 가상의 공간 다이버시티이득(Spatial Diversity Gain)을 얻을 수 있어 센싱 성능이 향상된다. 협력 통신 기법 중 AF(Amplify and Forward)와 DF(Decoded and Forward)방식이 대표적이다. 따라서 이 두가지 협력통신 기법을 적용하여 협력스펙트럼 센싱의 검출확률의 성능을 비교하고 분석한다.

고효율 고전력 밀도를 제공하는 공진형 컨버터에 있어서 스위치에 걸리는 전압 스트레스는 입력전압의 4∼5배 정도여서, 높은 정격의 소자를 필요로 하기 때문에 전도손실을 증가시킨다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 제안했던 교번으로 동작하는 포워드 다중공진형 컨버터에 적용한 회로 형태를 다른 컨버터에 적용한 예를 제시하였다. 그리고 제안한 AT포워드 다중공진형 컨버터의 루프 이득 특성을 알아보기 위해 HP4194A 네트워크 해석기를 이용해 실험적으로 측정한 결과에 대해 고찰하였다.

This paper presents a high gain and high harmonic rejection low-noise amplifier (LNA) for software-defined radio receiver. This LNA exploits the high quality factor (Q) series resonance technique. High Q series resonance can amplify the in-band signal voltage and attenuate the out-band signals. This is achieved by a source impedance transformation. This technique does not consume power and can easily support multiband operation. The chip is fabricated in a $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS. It supports four bands (640, 710, 830, and 1,070MHz). The measured forward gain ($S_{21}$) is between 12.1 and 17.4 dB and the noise figure is between 2.7 and 3.3 dB. The IIP3 measures between -5.7 and -10.8 dBm, and the third harmonic rejection ratios are more than 30 dB. The LNA consumes 9.6 mW from a 1.2-V supply.

Multihop transmission is a promising technique that helps in achieving broader coverage (excellent network connectivity) and preventing the impairment of wireless channels. This paper proposes a cluster-based multihop wireless network that makes use of the advantages of multihop relaying, i.e., path loss gain, and partial relay selection in each hop, i.e., spatial diversity. In this partial relay selection, the node with the maximum instantaneous channel gain will serve as the sender for the next hop. With the proposed protocol, the transmit power and spectral efficiency can be improved over those in the case of direct transmission and conventional multihop transmission. Moreover, at a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the performance of the system with at least two nodes in each cluster is dependent only on the last hop and not on any of the intermediate hops. For a practically feasible decode-and-forward relay strategy, a compact expression for the probability density function of the end-to-end SNR at the destination is derived. This expression is then used to derive closed-form expressions for the outage probability, average symbol error rate, and average bit error rate for M-ary square quadrature amplitude modulation as well as to determine the spectral efficiency of the system. In addition, the probability of SNR gain over direct transmission is investigated for different environments. The mathematical analysis is verified by various simulation results for demonstrating the accuracy of the theoretical approach.
