In this paper, it is presented a frequency modulated continuous wave radar (FMCW) for distance measurement. The frequency range is $10{\sim}11$ GHz and the sweep time of the signal is 100 ms. The test target is 0.8 m2 of metal plate. The experiment is performed in open ground and the pyramidal horn antenna of about 22 dBi gain is used. The beat frequency according to the target moving to 40 m is measured. There is a good agreement between measured and calculated results. But the resolution of the FMCW radar is not good such as about 10 cm. It is result from the nonlinear signal of voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). To improve the nonlinear characteristic of VCO, a high pass filter and phase locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer are included in the radar system.

Until now, the track circuit with railroad which is a part of an electrical circuit wad used only for the detection of the train location, but as train speed is up to be higher, in order to overcome the limits of ground signal system the railway signal system has changed from the ground signal system to a cab signal system. The power source of the track circuit has also changed from a direct current or a high voltage impulse to an alternating current with high frequency which is a part of the audio frequency. To improve the maintenanability and according to the environment condition, the railway roadbed is rapidly changed to the ferroconcrete roadbed. In case of a track circuit to use an alternating current with high frequency as power source at a ferroconcrete roadbed, the characteristic of the track circuit is brought on a change from a loss of the magnetic combination instead of a leakage current from electric insulation which was caused by the reinforcing iron pod with lattice shape for durability. This paper is shown the influence and the loss of the signal current at AF track circuit on a ferroconcrete in the simulation sheets and presented a proposal for the preventive method from reduction of signal current.

In this paper, a fiber-optic voltage sensor for measurement of impulse voltage is implemented. A BSO single crystal is used as a Pockels cell. A new signal processing technique is adopted not only to avoid the influences of external perturbations of transmitting optical fiber, but to improve the frequency response characteristics of the optical voltage sensor. Experimental results show that proposed sensor has maximum ${\pm}$2.5% error rate, and has good frequency response.

Offline inductance identification of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is essential for the design of the closed-loop controller and position observer in sensorless vector controlled drives. On the base of the offline inductance identification method combining direct current (DC) offset and high frequency (HF) voltage injection which is fulfilled at standstill, this paper investigates the inverter nonlinearity effects on the inductance identification while considering harmonics in the induced HF current. The negative effects on d-q axis inductance identifications using HF signal injection are analyzed after self-learning of the inverter nonlinearity characteristics. Then, both the voltage error and the harmonic current can be described. In addition, different cases of voltage error distribution with different injection conditions are classified. The effects of inverter nonlinearities on the offline inductance identification using HF injection are validated on a 2.2 kW interior PMSM drive.

Most conventional protection relays are based on processing information in the spectrum that is close to or at power frequency. It is, however, widely known that faults on transmission lines produce frequency components of a wide range. High frequency signals caused by sudden changes in system voltage that occurs in the immediate post-fault period are generally outside the bandwidth of receptibility of most protection scheme. In this respect, a specially designed stack tuner is connected to the coupling capacitor of CVT, in order to capture the high frequency signals. Digital signal processing is then applied to the captured information to determine whether the fault is inside or outside the protected zone, and to discriminate the fault type. In this paper, modal transform is not applied to fault generated signals, because signals which are converted by modal transform are not have an information of each phase any longer. Instead, using peak voltage value of data windows is able to discriminate fault type. The paper concludes by presenting fault detection and discrimination of various faults on transmission line which are based on extensive simulation studies carried out on a typical 154kV Korean transmission line, using the EMTP software.

Theoretical analysis is presented for expending of the usable frequency range of optoelectronic mixing detection in the radio over fiber network system. We define the normalized gain to evaluate the performance of the optical mixing detection, and conform the possibilities of detection for the high frequency signals beyond the cutoff frequency of a photodiode. Optical mixing detection mechanism is analyzed by solving the continuity equation for the carriers of a photodiode. The normalized gain is independent on the signal frequency and the frequency difference between the optical signal and the local signal. Also, the amplitude of the local signal and the bias voltage are needed to be optimized at the same time in order to maximize the normalized gain.

A new small-signal model for the controlled on-time boost power factor correction (PFC) circuit is presented. The proposed small-signal model is valid up to high frequencies over lKHz. The model can be used in designing the voltage feedback compensation of PFC circuits, the control bandwidth of which is maximized with auxiliary means of removing the low-frequency ripple from the output. The accuracy of the model is confirmed by a 200W experimental hardware
