Since the late 1960s, the selection of the parameters of power system stabilizer (PSS) to damp out sustained low frequency oscillation of power generators in the steady state has been an active research area. This paper presents a new approach to select the optimal PSS parameters using the sensitivity of the quadratic performance with respect to the PSS parameters. The proposed algorithm has been applied to Seo-Cheon fossil power plant.

In this study, piezoelectric AC-DC converter using ring-dot type multilayer piezoelectric transformer with no anisotropic of polarization was developed. Considering the characteristics of piezoelectric transformer which is very narrow operating frequency range, piezoelectric converter was designed with mixed structure of PFM driving method for feedback control of oscillation frequency and PWM driving method for output control. Maximum power and allowed current of the developed piezoelectric converter showing stable driving with minimum heat was 25W and 900mA, respectively. The output voltage of the piezoelectric converter was controlled by the driving oscillation frequency and showed stable and efficient operating characteristics at the maximum power.

In this paper, we present the effect the length the MSL(Microstrip Line) on the oscillation characteristic of the fabricated VCOs(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) designed and analyzed by RF circuit simulator Serenade(ANSOFT Co.) and fabricated by screen printing method on the alumina substrate. We have fabricated VCOs with 3 different MSL length and each MSL length of the VCO is 140mi1, 280mil and 560mi1. The oscillation frequency of each sample(VCO) was tuned to UHF band(750MHz∼900MHz) varying the capacitance. The experimental result shows the phase noise -82∼-97[dBc/Hz] at a 50 [kHz] offset frequency, the pushing figure 94∼318[kHz] at 3${\pm}$0.15[V] and the harmonics 13∼21 [dBc] between MSL length 140mi1s and 560mi1. The frequency and output variation width are 779∼898[MHz], -36∼-33[dBm] at MSL length 140mi1; 818∼836[MHz], -27.19∼-27.06[dBm] at 280mi1;751.54∼751.198[MHz],-33.44∼ -33.31[dBm] at 560mi1. we examined 3 VCOs oscillation characteristic difference through comparison with phase noise, oscillation power and frequency by control voltage change, harmonics and pushing figure for each sample.

In the following paper, the high frequency oscillation proximity sensor system, one of the sensor systems used in FA, is designed using CMOS. According to the proximity of metal objects, two differing amplitudes of sinusoidal waves are set, and by using rectifiers, dc voltages, which determine the constant current source circuit's output current levels, can be abstracted from these waves. To remove any disturbances in the dc voltage levels, a schmitt trigger is used. Some advantages of this CMOS high frequency oscillation proximity sensor are miniturization, light weight and low power disspation.

A high-Power continuous-wave (CW) ten-vane double-strapped magnetron oscillator has been investigated using three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell (PIC) numerical simulation code, MAGIC3D. The resonant modes and their resonant frequencies of the ten-vane strapped magnetron resonator were obtained to show a large mode separation near the ${\pi}$-mode. An electron cloud formed in an anode-cathode gap, called an interaction space was confined well enough to result in no leakage current. Five spokes were clearly observed in the electron cloud, which definitely ensured the ${\pi}$-mode oscillation in the ten-vane magnetron. Numerical simulations predicted that the saturated microwave output power measured at the coaxial output port was 5.41 kW at the microwave frequency of 893 MHz, corresponding to a power conversion efficiency of 72.6% when the external axial magnetic field was 1150 gauss and the electron beam voltage and current were 6 kV and 1.25 A, respectively.

Generally, the output matching circuit has the most influence to the output power of oscillator and existing method for output matching has difficulty for making the optimum output matching circuit because the matching has to be done nearby the infinite impedance area of the Smith Chart. In this paper, it is studied for the output matching circuit of the microwave oscillator to get the maximum output power. The maximum output point can be found by adjusting the position of moving short in the Tuner while the oscillator is operating after connect the 3-dB coupler Tuner to the oscillator without output matching circuit. To design the oscillator for the maximum output power can be done easily with the microstrip line which is realized from the measured S-parameters of Tuner. In compare the oscillator by the existing method with another one by the suggested method in this paper, the first one has 6.45 dBm output power and second one has 9.71 dBm which is 3.26 dBm higher than the first one at the oscillation frequency 1.0338 GHz.

All spurious signals including fundamental oscillation power (2.9GHz) are suppressed at least 15dBc than the desired second harmonic signal.

Interleaving techniques are widely used to reduce input/output ripples and to increase the power capacity of boost converters operating in critical conduction mode. Two types of phase-shift control schemes are studied in this paper, the turn-on time shifting method and the turn-off time shifting method. It is found that although the turn-off time shifting method exhibits better performance, it suffers from sub-harmonic oscillations at high input voltages. To solve this problem, an intensive quantitative analysis of the sub-harmonic oscillation phenomenon is made in this paper. Based upon that, a novel modified turn off time shifting control scheme for interleaved boost converters operating in critical conduction mode is proposed. An important advantage of this scheme is that both the master phase and the slave phase can operate stably in critical conduction mode without any oscillations in the full input voltage range. This method is implemented with a FPGA based digital PWM control platform, and tests were carried out on a two-phase interleaved boost PFC converter prototype. Experimental results demonstrated the feasibility and performance of the proposed phase-shift control scheme.

The constant on-time current-mode controlled (COT-CMC) switching dc-dc converter is stable, with no subharmonic oscillation in its current loop when a voltage ripple in its outer voltage loop is ignored. However, when its output capacitance is small or its feedback gain is high, subharmonic oscillation may occur in a COT-CMC buck converter with a proportional-integral (PI) compensator. To investigate the subharmonic instability of COT-CMC buck converters with a PI compensator, an accurate reduced-order asynchronous-switching map model of a COT-CMC buck converter with a PI compensator is established. Based on this, the instability behaviors caused by output capacitance and feedback gain are investigated. Furthermore, an approximate instability condition is obtained and design-oriented stability boundaries in different circuit parameter spaces are yielded. The analysis results show that the instability of COT-CMC buck converters with a PI compensator is mainly affected by the output capacitance, output capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR), feedback gain, current-sensing gain and constant on-time. The study results of this paper are helpful for the circuit parameter design of COT-CMC switching dc-dc converters. Experimental results are provided to verify the analysis results.
