This paper presents a method about the efficiency analysis and the harmonic reduction of single phase NPC multi-level inverter with LC-trap filter and LCR output filter. The proposed LC-trap filter is comprised of a conventional LC output filter, by using LC-trap filter the need for high damping resistor and low LC cut-off frequency is eliminated. Also, low damping resistor is increased the efficiency of the output filter. Experimental verification of the proposed circuit is provided with single phase NPC multilevel inverter system and DSP controller.

New classes of LC resonators for micro magnetic sensor device were proposed and fabricated. The first type LC resonator (Type I) consists of a small piece of microwire and two cylindrical electrodes at the end of the microwire without direct contact to its ferromagnetic core. In type I resonator the ferromagnetic core of the microwire and cylindrical electrodes act as an inductor and two capacitors respectively to form a LC circuit. The second type LC resonator (Type II) consists of a solenoidal micro-inductor with a bundle of soft magnetic microwires as a core. The solenoidal micro-inductors fabricated by MEMS technique were $500\sim1,000\;\mu{m}$ in length with $10\sim20$ turns. A capacitor is connected in parallel to the micro-inductor to form a LC circuit. A tiny glass coated $CO_{83.2}B_{3.3}Si_{5.9}Mn_{7.6}$ microwire was fabricated by a glass-coated melt spinning technique. A supergiant magneto-impedance effect was found in a type I resonator as much as 400,000% by precise tuning frequency at around 518.51 MHz. In type II resonator 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%. The phase angle between current and voltage was also strongly dependent on the magnetic field. The drastic increments of magnetoimpedance at near the resonance frequency were observed in both types of LC resonators. Accordingly, the sudden change of the phase angle, as large as $180^{\circ}C$, evidenced the occurrence of the resonance at a given external magnetic field.

The cutoff frequency of the output LC filters of PWM inverters limits the control bandwidth of the converter system while it attenuates voltage ripples that are caused by inverter switching activities. For a selected cutoff frequency of an output LC filter, an infinite number of L-C combinations is possible. This paper analyses the characteristics of output LC filters for PWM inverters terms of the L-C combinations. Practical circuit conditions such as no-loads, full resistive-loads, and inductive-load conditions are considered in the analysis. This paper proposes a LC filter design method for PWM inverters considering both the voltage ynamics and he inverter stack size. An experimental PWM inverter system based on the proposed output LC lter design uideline is built and tested.

This paper presents a study on the cycloconverter with a LC resonant circuit for a induction motor drive which keeps the Input displacement factor at 1.0 by controlling real and reactive power independently under any load conditions. The input and the output current waveforms are sinusoid, and consequently Input power factor is nealy 1.0. In this paper, the operating principles of this cycloconverter, the control algorithms, the waveform analyses, and the characteristics of the system are described. The volts/hertz control of the induction motor is experimented, and the reasonability of this proposal is verified.

This paper presents an implantable telemetry LC resonance-type pressure sensor for the measurement of the ventricle pressure. This sensor consists of a capacitor and an inductor. This resonant circuit is magnetically coupled with an external antenna coil. The resonance frequency of the circuit decreases as the sensor capacitance is increased by the applied pressure. The inductance and the capacitance are 428nH and 0.98${\mu}F$, respectively. The resonance frequency is 245.7MHz when the differential pressure is zero. The sensitivity of the sensor is 9.477kHz/Pa.

A 6.5 - 8.5 GHz CMOS UWB transmitter is implemented using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The transmitter is mainly composed of switched LC VCO and digital pulse generator (DPG).

The measured energy efficiency per pulse is 2.1 % and the power consumption is 0.6 mW at 10 Mbps without the buffer amplifier. The chip core size is $0.72mm^2$.

Two 110-GHz oscillators have been developed in 65-nm CMOS technology. To study the effect of layout on the circuit performance, both oscillators had the same LC cross-coupled topology but different layout schemes of the circuit. The oscillator with the conventional cross-coupled design (OSC1), showed an output power of -3.9 dBm at 111 GHz with a phase noise of -75 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset. On the other hand, OSC2, with a modified cross-coupled line layout, generated an output power of -2.0 dBm at 117 GHz with a phase noise of -77 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset. The result indicates that the optimized layout can improve key oscillator performances such as oscillation frequency and output power.

Currently, the development of industry makes needs larger electric supply. Providers must consider the efficiency about losses and reliability of the system. In this case, DC power system can save electrical energy; long-distance transmission line losses. Relevance to switch technology with a voltage-source converter (VSC) in AC-DC conversion system have been researched. But, protection device of DC-link against fault current is still needed to study much. VSC DC power system is vulnerable to DC-cable short-circuit and ground faults, because DC-link has a huge size of capacitor filter which releases extremely large current during DC faults. Furthermore, DC has a fatal flaw that current zero crossing is nonexistence. To interrupt the DC, several methods which make a zero crossing is used; parallel connecting self-excited series LC circuit with main switch, LC circuit with power electronic device called hybrid DC circuit breaker. Meanwhile, self-excited oscillator needs a huge size capacitor that produces big oscillation current which makes zero crossing. This capacitor has a quite effective on the price of DCCB. In this paper, hybrid self-excited type superconducting DCCB which are using AC circuit breaker system is studied by simulation tool PSCAD/EMTDC.

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.
