본 논문은 다중안테나를 구비한 전송단과 수신단의 활성화된 안테나 개수를 조절하여 통신 시스템의 소비전력을 최소화함으로써 동작시간을 최대화하는 전력절감 MAC 기법에 관한 것이다. 제안기법은 전력절감을 목적으로 다중안테나 시스템의 전송 방식인 멀티플렉싱 기법과 다이버시티 기법을 채널 상황에 따라 선택한다. 이러한 다중안테나 전력절감을 위한 MAC 기법은 무선단말에서 소모하는 전력을 고려한다. 이때 전송전력 뿐 아니라 활성화된 안테나 개수와 비례하는 회로 소모 에너지를 고려하기 때문에 성능분석 결과, 기존의 용량증대 접근 방법과는 다른 다중안테나 방안을 선택한다. 따라서 제안하는 다중안테나 전력절감 방식은 무선단말의 소비에너지 면에서 성능 향상을 보인다.

This paper presents a bidirectional DC-DC converter suitable for low-voltage super capacitor-based electric energy storage systems. The DC-DC converter presented here consists of a full-bridge circuit and a current-fed push-pull circuit with a high frequency (HF) transformer-link. In order to reduce the device-conduction losses due to the large current of the super capacitor as well as unnecessary ringing, synchronous rectification is employed in the super capacitor-charging mode. A wide range of voltage regulation between the battery and the super capacitor can be realized by employing a Phase-Shifting (PS) Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) scheme in the full-bridge circuit for the super capacitor charging mode as well as the overlapping PWM scheme of the gate signals to the active power devices in the push-pull circuit for the super capacitor discharging mode. Essential performance of the bidirectional DC-DC converter is demonstrated with simulation and experiment results, and the practical effectiveness of the DC-DC converter is discussed.

During an AC motor's start-up accelerating period, a large amount of current is required to reach to the rating speed. This is called in-rush current. This peak in-rush current can be more than about several times the operating or steady-state current in the full load rating of the motor. In-rush current is present in both and electronic ballasts. The main area of concern is the tripping of circuit breaker and fuses which can affect electrical system components From this, we can see that the electrical power controllers will be rather concerned, since they have to supply the actual current necessary to start the motor. This paper presents a new method to reducing in-rush current and energy saving of the single-phase induction motor used in air-conditioner. It can be obtained that proposed system is low cost and small size as compared with other controller. Experiments are focused on a capacitor starting single-phase induction motor. The optimal power saving and in-rush current limiting by phase angle control are verified by experimental results. Also, auxiliary winding was controlled by electronic starting switch.

In this research, we have studied the development of dc-dc converter suitable for the driving of mobile instruments by using a dye-sensitized solar cell(DSC). We also have designed a interlocking circuit. The circuit makes power from DSC be saved in one battery and concurrently be discharged in the other battery. As this application, mobile devices like MP3, cellular phone are drived by using power from DSC during the daytime and they can be drived by using the saving energy of the daytime during the night. Besides, we designed dc-dc converter circuit to drive low power instruments by using NMOS switch and PMOS rectifier.

We report a STT-MRAM write-scheme, in which the length of the write-pulse is determined dynamically by sensing the status of MTJ cells. The proposed scheme can reduce the power consumption by eliminating unnecessary writing current after the switching has occurred. We also propose a reference cell design, which is optimized for the use in write-circuits. The performance of the proposed circuit was verified by SPICE level simulations of the circuit implemented in a $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS process.

A new level shifter using low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin-film transistors (TFTs) for low-power applications is proposed. The proposed level shifter uses a capacitive-coupling effect and can reduce the power consumption owing to its no-short-circuit current. Its power saving over the conventional level shifter is 72% for a 3.3 V input and a 10 V output.

This paper presents a low-power voltage converter based on a reconfigurable capacitor array. Its energy recycling capacitor array stores the energy during a charge stage and supplies the voltage during an energy recycle stage even after the power source is disconnected. The converter reconfigures the capacitor array step-wise to boost the lost voltage level during the energy recycle stage. Its energy saving is particularly effective when most of the energy remaining in the charge capacitors is wasted by the leakage current during a longer sleep period. Simulations have been conducted using a voltage source of 500 mV to supply a $V_{DD}$ of around 800 mV to a load circuit consisting of four 32-bit adders in a 65-nm CMOS process. Results demonstrate energy recycling efficiency of 85.86% and overall energy saving of 40.14% compared to a conventional converter, when the load circuit is shortly active followed by a long sleep period.

This paper presents a prototype of three-phase current source zero voltage soft-switching PWM controlled PFC rectifier with Single Active Auxiliary Resonant Commutated Snubber (ARCS) circuit topology. The proposed three-phase PFC rectifier with sinewave current shaping and unity power factor scheme can operate under a condition of Zero Voltage Soft Switching (ZVS) in the main three phase rectifier circuit and zero current soft switching (ZCS) in auxiliary snubber circuits. The operating principle and steady-state performances of the proposed three-phase current source soft-switching PWM controlled PFC rectifier controlled by the DSP control implementation are evaluated and discussed on the basis of the experimental results of this active rectifier setup.
