In this paper, an efficient piezoelectric passive damper is newly devised to suppress the multi-mode vibration of plates. To construct the passive damper, the piezoelectric materials are utilized as energy transformer, which can transform the mechanical energy to electrical energy. To dissipate the electrical energy transformed from mechanical energy, multiple resonant shunted piezoelectric circuits are applied. The dynamic governing equations of a coupled electro-mechanical piezoelectric with multiple piezoelectric patches and multiple resonant shunted circuits is derived and solved for the one edge clamped plate. The equations of motion of the piezoelectrics and shunted circuits as well as the plate are discretized by finite element method to estimate more exactly the effectiveness of the piezoelectric passive damper. The method to find the optimal location of a piezoelectric is presented to maximize effectiveness for desired modes. The electro-mechanical coupling term becomes important parameter to select the optimal location.

The multi-resonant converter(MRC) can reduce the switching losses exiting in a converter, so it is capable of operating at a high frequency. Such a few MHz high frequency application provides a high power density [$W/inch^{3}$]. But the high voltage stress across a switch of the resonant circuit is about 4$\sim$5 times the input voltage, it causes increasing of the conduction loss in MRC. In this paper, the mode analysis for the suggested AT Forward MRC with low voltage stress is discussed. The operational modes of the AT Forward MRC are divided to 8 equivalent modes according to the two switching sequences, Each mode is analyzed over all of the paper.

A novel frequency-switchable antenna that uses PIN diodes and a composite right- and left-handed transmission line (CRLH TL) is proposed. The CRLH TL provides multi-order resonance, including a zeroth-order resonance (ZOR), and its shunt stub determines the ZOR frequency. Thus, the resonant frequency is arbitrarily chosen by lumped chip inductors on the shunt stub. Two prototypes are designed using different chip inductors while maintaining the antenna geometries. Antenna #1 can switch the resonant frequency from 1.8 GHz to 2.3 GHz. Antenna #2 can switch its resonance from 0.9 GHz to 2.3 GHz.

In this paper, we studied a ZnO-based film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) device fabricated on a specially designed multi-layerd Bragg reflector part. Very thin chromium adhesion layers (0,03um thick) were additionally deposited to improve the quality of the Bragg reflector and some thermal treatments were performed to improve the resonant characteristics of the device. At the operating frequency of ${\sim}2.7GHz$, excellent resonant characteristics were observed in terms of return loss and quality factor, and effective electromechanical coupling coefficient. These findings are expected to be highly promising and effective for improving the performance of the FBAR devices at high frequency.

This paper presents control strategies for cascaded H-bridge multilevel active power filters (APFs). A current loop controller is implemented using a proportional-resonant (PR) regulator, which achieves zero steady-state error at target frequencies. The power balancing mechanism for the dc-link capacitor voltages is analyzed and a voltage balancing controller is presented. To mitigate the picket-fence effect of the conventional FFT algorithm under asynchronous sampling conditions, the Hanning Windowed-FFT algorithm is proposed for reference current generation (RCG). This calculates the frequency, amplitude and phase of individual harmonic components accurately and as a result, selective harmonic compensation (SHC) is achieved. Simulation and experimental results are presented, which verify the validity and effectiveness of the devised control algorithms.

The GaAs/AlAs double barrier structures was grown by MBE(Mo1ecular Beam Epitaxy). Mesa diode was fabricated and I-V characteristics of the diode were measured by semiconductor parameter analyser at room temperature. TEM pictures show the double barrier structure with abrupt interface. PVCR(Peak to Valley Current Ratio) proves to be independent of barrier thickness. These results show that increase in barrier thickness leads to larger valley current by non-resonant tunneling.

This work reports the stability of the resonant characteristics in multimode interferometer coupled square ring semiconductor cavities. Based on the analysis of single square ring cavities, the single mode operations in the multimode interferometer coupled ring cavities are analyzed and the devices are demonstrated on the semiconductor multiple quantum well epitaxial structure. By varying the lasing conditions such as substrate temperature and input pump power, single resonant mode operations are also observed.

본 논문에서는 한쪽이 단락된 스트립선로(Stripline)와 Loading 캐패시턴스(Capacitance)로 구성된 새로운 형태의 1/4파장 스트립선로 공진기를 제안하였으며, 이 공진기를 이용해서 5.2 GHz 대역 무선 LAN용 적층 대역통과 여파기를 설계, 제작 하였다. 제안한 공진기의 전파지연효과(Slow-wave Effect) 때문에, 기존의 공진기에 비해서 길이가 축소되며, 기준 공진주파수(Fundamental Resonant Frequency)에 대한, 첫 번째 기생공진주파수(First Spurious Resonant Frequency) 값이 커지기 때문에, 넓은 상향저지대역(Wide Upper Stopband)을 갖는 초소형의 대역통과 여파기의 설계가 가능하다. 설계한 여파기를 LTCC 적층 공정 기술을 이용하여 제작하였으며 그 크기는 $3.2mm{\times}1.6mm{\times}0.8mm$ 이다.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a unit module for a 10 kVA class 13.2 kV/220 V unidirectional solid-state transformer (SST) with silicon-carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors. The proposed module consists of an active-front-end (AFE) converter to interface 1320 V AC voltage source to 2500 V DC link and an isolated resonant DC-DC converter for 500 V low-voltage DC output. The design approaches of the AFE and the isolated resonant DC-DC converters are addressed. The control structures of the converters are described as well. The experiments for the converters are performed, and results verify that the proposed unit module can be successfully adopted for the entire SST operation.

Cylindrical monopole antenna is one of most promising candidates for multi-band applications such as PCS, WLAN, DMB, and UWB wireless services. In this research, we analyze the current distributions of operating modes for a cylindrical double-resonant monopole antenna. Two modes, the standing wave mode in a lower band and the traveling wave mode in a higher band, are identified from CST software simulations. Finally, design formulas are derived form the simulation results.
