In this paper, we have explained electrical characteristics of a step-down Rosen type piezoelectric transformer for AC-adapter. When the electric voltage is applied to the driving piezoelectric vibrator polarized in the longitudinal direction, then output voltage is generated at the generating piezoelectric vibrator polarized in the thickness direction due to the piezoelectric effects. Output voltage and current from a 11-layered and a 13-layered piezoelectric transformer were measured under the various conditions of loads and frequencies. We measured resonant frequency from impedance curve. It was shown from experiments that output voltage has increased and resonant frequency has changed according to various resistor loads. Output current has changed inversely proportional to resistances.

In this paper, 3-D electromagnetic analysis of a single phase 1MVA 22.9kV/6.6kV High Temperature Superconducting(HTS) transformer with double pancake windings by using the OPERA 3D was accomplished. And in order to perform the analysis of leakage impedances of a 1MVA HTS transformer, the energy conservation method was used. The efficiency voltage regulation and ％ impedance voltage drop of a 1MVA HTS transformer were obtained by the analysis of leakage impedances.

In this study, we propose a novel transmission line employing inverted PACD (Periodically Arrayed Capacitive Devices) for application to a development of miniaturized passive components on MMIC. The novel microstrip line employing Inverted PACD structure showed a loss much lower than conventional microstrip line. Using the inverted PACD structure, we fabricated a miniaturized impedance transformer on MMIC. the size of the impedance transformer was 0.012 $mm^2$, which is only 1.7% of conventional one. The impedance transformer showed good RF performances in a frequency range of 2.25~6.5 GHz.

In this paper, compact linear dual polarized series-fed $1{\times}2$ linear and $2{\times}2$ planar arrays antennas for airborne SAR applications are proposed. The proposed antenna design consists of a square radiating patch that is placed on top of the substrate, a quarter wave transformer and $50-{\Omega}$ matched transformer. Matching between a radiating patch and the $50-{\Omega}$ microstrip line is accomplished through a direct coupled-feed technique with the help of an impedance inverter (${\lambda}/4$ impedance transformer) placed at both horizontal and vertical planes, in the case of the $2{\times}2$ planar array. The overall size for the prototype-1 and prototype-2 fabricated antennas are $1.9305{\times}0.9652{\times}0.05106{{\lambda}_0}^3$ and $1.9305{\times}1.9305{\times}0.05106{{\lambda}_0}^3$, respectively. The fabricated structure has been tested, and the experimental results are similar to the simulated ones. The CST MWS simulated and vector network analyzer measured reflection coefficient ($S_{11}$) results were compared, and they indicate that the proposed antenna prototype-1 yields the impedance bandwidth >140 MHz (9.56-9.72 GHz) defined by $S_{11}$<-10 dB with 1.43%, and $S_{21}$<-25 dB in the case of prototype-2 (9.58-9.74 GHz, $S_{11}$< -10 dB) >140 MHz for all the individual ports. The surface currents and the E- and H-field distributions were studied for a better understanding of the polarization mechanism. The measured results of the proposed dual polarized antenna were in accordance with the simulated analysis and showed good performance of the S-parameters and radiation patterns (co-pol and cross-pol), gain, efficiency, front-to-back ratio, half-power beam width) at the resonant frequency. With these features and its compact size, the proposed antenna will be suitable for X-band airborne synthetic aperture radar applications.

This paper presents the design method of an impedance matching network using an isolation transformer and the Chebyshev filter function for the high efficiency and the flat power driving of an underwater acoustic piezoelectric transducer. The proposed impedance matching network is designed for minimizing the reactance component of transducer and having the flat power response in the wide frequency range. We design a low pass filter with ladder-type circuit using the Chebyshev function as standard prototype filter function. In addition, we design the impedance matching network which is suitable for the equivalent circuit of transducer and the turn ratio of transformer through the bandpass frequency transformation. The proposed method is applied to the simulated dummy load of the tonpilz-type transducer operating in the middle frequency range. The simulation results are compared with the measured characteristics and the validity of the proposed method is verified.

A differential power amplifier operating at millimeter-wave frequencies is demonstrated using a 65-nm CMOS technology. All of the input, output, and inter-stage network are implemented by transformers only, enabling impedance matching with low loss and a wide bandwidth. The millimeter-wave power amplifier exhibits measured small-signal gain exceeding 12.6 dB over a 3-dB bandwidth from 45 to 56 GHz. The output power and PAE are 13 dBm and 11.7%, respectively at 50 GHz.

In this paper, the voltage step-up ratio, efficiency and input impedance of the PMN-PZT cert- mic transformer(PT) were investigated for the variation of resonant frequency according to lead resistance.

The open delta circuit of the power transformer is still often applied, in spite of its reduced utilization of the power. In this paper, a new approach to the calculation of the power and its distribution in each transformer component is presented. For the power evaluation, the method of the complex power analysis is applied.

In this paper, we investigated the output power, step-up ratio and efficiency properties of piezoelectric transformer with dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics of manufactured ceramics. The piezoelectric transformers with $2.0$\times$10$\times$48[$mm^3$] size were fabricated and its electrical properties were measured. When output power of 6W was constantly maintained, T2 piezoelectric transformer showed the minimum temperature rise of $9(^{\circ}C)$ at $150(K\Omega)$ load resistance. However, T1 piezoelecric transformer showed the temperature rise of $7.2(^{\circ}C)$ at $200(K\Omega)$ load resistance. The 6[w] CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) was successfully driven by T1 and T2 piezoelectric transformer but, its temperature rise $\Delta$T[$^{\circ}C)$] was generated more than $20(^{\circ}C)$. It is concluded that we have to design the piezoelectric transformers so that its output impedance correspond to the load impeadance, including any stray capacitance.

A detailed analysis of the transistor wide-band feedback amplifiers using the hybrid-$\pi$ equivalent circuit has been made. It is considered both for the low freqnency and for the high frequency. The expressions of the gain, bandwidth. input impedance and output impedance have been presented. It is shown that a series feedback amplifier should be driven from the voltage source and should drive into the low resistance load, and a shunt feedback amplifier should be driven from the current source and should drive into the high resistance load. It is also shown that these stages can be coupled without use of the buffer stage or coupling transformer.
