We propose a power factor correction scheme using a LC resonant circuit in commercial frequency without switching devices. In this method, It makes a sinusoidal wave by widening conduction period using the current resonance in commercial frequency, Hence, the harmonic characteristics can be significantly improved, where the lower order harmonics, such as the fifth and seventh orders are much reduced. The result are confirmed by the theoretical and experimental implementations

A new class of LC-resonator for micro magnetic sensor device was invented and fabricated by means of MEMS technique. The micro LC-resonator consists of a solenoidal micro-inductor with a bundle of soft magnetic microwire cores and a capacitor connected in parallel to the micro-inductor. The core magnetic material is a tiny glass coated $Co_{83.2}B_{3.3}Si_{5.9}Mn_{7.6}$ microwire fabricated by a glasscoated melt spinning technique. The core materials were annealed at various temperatures $150^{\circ}C,\;200^{\circ}C\;,250^{\circ}C\;,$ and $300^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in a vacuum to improve soft magnetic properties. The solenoidal micro-inductors fabricated by MEMS technique were $500{\sim}1,000{\mu}m$ in length with $10{\sim}20$ turns. The changes of inductance as a function of external magnetic field in micro-inductors with properly annealed microwire cores were varied as much as 370%. Since the permeability of ultra soft magnetic microwire is changing rapidly as a function of external magnetic field. The inductance ratio as well as magnetoimpedance ratio (MIR) in a LC-resonator was varied drastically as a function of external magnetic field. The MIR curves can be tuned very precisely to obtain maximum sensitivity. A prototype magnetic sensor device consisting of the developed microinductors with a multivibrator circuit was test successfully.

This paper deals with transmission characteristics of a new dual resonant structure for designing waveguide band-pass filter. The structure which has a pass-band between two adjacent stop-bands in a single body consists of circular ridged aperture and four armed conducting patch. The dual resonant behavior of the structure can be represented by a combination of LC series and parallel resonant circuits. Also these resonant properties can be easily controlled by varying the geometry of the aperture and four armed conducting patch. Actually, the structure is fabricated on the microstrip substrate by use of etching technique so that it is formed an iris type resonator which can be easily put into the transverse plane of the waveguide. We use WR-90 standard waveguide, adapters, and VNA(vector network analyzer) to measure the resonant characteristics of the structure. It is very useful to design and to improve the cutoff skirts characteristics in the waveguide band-pass filter design area.

Recently, there has been increasing demand for power quality in power supply devices. The IEC 61000-3-2 standard requires that the AC / DC power supply for lighting meet the specifications for the power factor (PF) and total waveform distortion (THD). In addition, advanced countries in Europe are regulating the ripple rate as 15 ~ 30% for the flicker phenomenon caused by the change in the amount of foot energy due to the change in current of the output terminal. Therefore, domestic standards and regulations are being updated. This study adopted the Flyback converter to satisfy the PFC standard, and has the circuit first and second insulation function. To reduce the low frequency ripple of the LED current, Flyback, Coupled Inductor, LC parallel resonance filter, LLC resonance filter, and Cuk were simulated by PSIM to mimic each LED driving circuit. A coupled LC resonant circuit with a coupled inductor on the primary side and LC resonance on the secondary side was also proposed for output side ripple reduction.

Ultrasonic transducers with high resolution and resonant frequency are required to detect small defects (less than hundreds of ${\mu}m$) by ultrasonic testing. The resonance frequency and resolution of an ultrasonic transducer are closely related to the thickness of piezo-electric materials, backing materials, and the electric impedance matching technique. Among these factors, electrical impedance matching plays an important role because it can reduce the loss and reflection of ultrasonic energy differences in electrical impedance between an ultrasonic transducer and an ultrasonic defects detecting system. An LC matching circuit is the most frequently used electric matching method. It is necessary for the electrical impedance of an ultrasonic transducer to correspond to approximately $50{\Omega}$ to compensate the difference in electrical impedance between both connections. In this study, a 15 MHz immersion ultrasonic transducer was fabricated and an LC electrical impedance circuit was applied to that for having broad-band frequency characteristic.

To construct the non-contact temperature detection systems, LC resonance type sensors composed of temperature sensitive ferrite inductors and capacitors were used, and their wireless temperature detection performances were investigated. The temperature was wirelessly detectable using the fabricated LC resonance sensors with a transmitter and receiver, because their inductances and resonance frequencies were changed according to the temperature dependance of permeability of the ferrites. The sensitivity of the system was decreased with the distance i between transmitter and receiver as a ratio of the l$^6$.

In this paper, a novel voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO) using the open loop multiple split ring resonator(OLMSRR) is presented for improving the phase noise, implemented in 130 nm CMOS technology. Compared with the conventional CMOS LC resonator, the proposed CMOS OLMSRR has the larger coupling coefficient value, which makes a higher Q-factor, and has improved the phase noise of the VCO. The proposed CMOS VCO based OLMSRR has the phase noise of -99.67 dBc/Hz @ 1 MHz in the oscillation frequency. Compared with the VCO using the conventional CMOS LC resonator and the proposed VCO using the CMOS OLMSRR structure has been improved in 7 dB. The prototype 24 GHz CMOS VCO is implemented in 130 nm CMOS and occupies a compact die area of $0.7\;mm{\times}0.9\;mm$.

This paper presents a polarity changing method without dead time of a cycloconverter with an LC resonant circuit. According to the proposed method, dead time to prevent short circuit for the polarity changing is not required. Therefore the delay of control and the harmonic components of output currents can be decreased. And the proposed method can be expanded for the other natural commutated cycloconverters of noncirculating current type. In this paper, the switching method of the proposed polarity changing without dead time is studied, and in order to confirm the validity of the proposed method the experiment is carried out with a cycloconverter with an LC resonant circuit.

The piezoelectric transformer converters electrical energy into mechanical energy, It is high efficiency and small size transformer for high output voltage. The piezoelectric transformer operates the resonance frequency and the output voltage waveform is close to sine wave. Therefore, it is suitable for driving the LCD backlight in the notebook computer. In this paper, we discussed about the inverter which os driving piezoelectric transformer by generating sine wave through LC resonance after converting input DC voltage to the gate signal of FET. As the result of experiments, it was showed that the resonance frequency and voltage gain of the piezoelectric transformer was proportional to the load variation, and voltage gain was independent of the input voltage variation.
