This paper proposed a new amplitude width modulation for OLED data driver IC. The data driver controls brightness of OLED by adjusting amplitude and width of the data drive current pulse. There were two conventional methods; pulse amplitude modulation(PAM) and pulse width modulation(PWM). The PWM method suffered from lower light emitting time efficiency at low luminance signal. The PAM method suffered from large chip area using DACs for each column. The proposed method was aiming at accurately controlling of the current level by MSB data and light emitting efficiency by LSB data to improve the inefficiencies of the PAM and a PWM. The proposed AWM driver circuit implemented using $0.35-{\mu}m$ 3-poly 4-metal CMOS high voltage process. The simulation result shows the improvement in the accuracy of the gray level control even though the driver circuit is smaller than the PAM.

In this paper, we present biomimetic hopping strategy which is more human-like for legged robot through stiffness modulation. Stiffness value is calculated from the motion of body center of gravity. This method enable to reduce impact force on touch-down, adaption on ground stiffness change and height modulation. Simple selected models will be used to validate this method. For general model, singular perturbation is used for control and simulation using stiffness modulation is presented.

In this work, we consider imperfectness of feedback channels in the adaptive transmission scheme which was previously studied with an assumption of error-free feedback channels. New method of mapping the modulation index into the feedback channel symbols and quantifying feedback error over fading channels are proposed. The presented method and results are expected to offer valuable tools for the system designer to efficiently implement adaptive diversity schemes to compensate for the performance degradation due to feedback error.

We have proposed and demonstrated a novel method of heterodyne detection using all-fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The method is characterized by the phase modulation with a sawtooth waveform instead of a frequency modulation in true heterodyne. The experimental results will be compared with the expected results.

This paper introduces a new pulse-width modulation (PWM) method to reduce common-mode voltages (CMVs) and compare its performance with other reduced CMV-PWM (RCMV-PWM) methods. To avoid the use of zero-vectors which cause high CMV peaks, the introduced method splits every reference vector into two vectors such that the peak-to-peak magnitude of CMV is reduced by one-third of conventional space-vector PWM (SVPWM). The performance of RCMV-PWMs altered by the modulation index are analyzed with simulation results.

The control performance of hybrid PWM inverter using a phase current measurement is presented in this paper. The hybrid PWM technique consists of space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) and six-step voltage control operation. The SVPWM is performed to reduce the harmonic components in the low speed region, and the six-step modulation is applied to increase the maximum speed of the IPMSM in the high speed region. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a great performance in both the low speed range and high speed range. However, the six-step modulation cannot be completely implemented, since the inverter that includes the lag-shunt sensing method has an immeasurable current region. In this paper, a quasi-six-step modulation using a modified voltage vector is proposed. The validity and usefulness of the proposed PWM technique is verified by MATLAB/Simulink and experimental results.

Directly modulated fiber-optic links generally suffer higher link loss and larger signal distortion than externally modulated links. These result from the electron-photon conversion loss and laser modulation dynamics. As a method to overcome the drawbacks, we have experimentally demonstrated the RF performance of directly modulated, ultra-strong injection-locked gain-lever distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) lasers. The free-running DBR lasers exhibit an improved amplitude modulation efficiency of 12.4 dB under gain-lever modulation at the expense of linearity. By combining gain-lever modulation with ultra-strong optical injection locking, we can gain the benefits of both improved modulation efficiency from the gain-lever effect, plus improved linearity from injection locking. Using an injection ratio of R=11 dB, a 23.4-dB improvement in amplitude response and an 18-dB improvement in spurious-free dynamic range have been achieved.

These days, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission method is widely used for broadband communication systems. The OFDM, which uses sine waves as orthogonal basis functions, is one of the orthogonal waveform modulation techniques. In this paper, we investigate a wavelet packet modulation method which uses wavelet packets instead of sine waves as the basis functions. The wavelet packets may have different patterns in two dimensional time-frequency domain, and we can design the packets appropriate for the channel environments with much flexibility. In this paper, we investigate the characteristics of the wavelet packet modulation as one of the multicarrier modulation methods, And we illustrate by simulations that narrowband interference can be reduced effectively by control the bandwidth of the wavelet packets.

In many applications of power electronics, high frequency resonant inverters are used, and the PAM(Pulse Amplitude Modulation), PFM(Pulse Frequency Modulation) or PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) techniques are used to control the output power of resonant inverters. And the resonant inverters have to control the output frequency for the reliable operation under the variable load conditions. In this paper, a new switching scheme is proposed as a PWM control of resonant inverters. With the proposed method, it can be obtained that optimum resonant frequency and unity output displacement factor under the variable resonant frequency adaptively. The detail algorithm or the proposed PWM switching scheme and its output characteristics are discussed. And the veridity of the proposed method is confirmed with the experimental results.
