A novel two stage soft-switching ac-to-dc convener with power factor correction is proposed. The proposed convener provides zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) condition to main switch of boost pre-regulator without auxiliary switch. Comparing to the conventional two stage approach(ZVS-PWM boost rectifier followed by off-line ZVS dc-dc step down converter), the proposed approach is simple and reducing EMI noise problem. A new simple DC-linked energy feedback circuit provides zero-voltage-switching condition to boost pre-regulator without imposing additional voltage and current stresses and loss of PWM capability. Operational principle, analysis, control of the proposed converter together with the simulation results of 1KW prototype are presented.

전력선 채널 잡음은 전력선에 연결되어 있는 전기기기들에 의하여 변화하는 특성을 갖으며, 이러한 잡음 특성을 극복하기 위한 한가지 방법으로 DS/SS 방식을 적용하는 방법이 있다. 그러나 저속 DS/SS 전력선 모뎀의 경우 낮은 데이터전송률 때문에, 잡음 특성을 개선하기 위하여 Chip 수가 큰 PN code를 적용하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전원 전압에 동기되어 잡음의 양이 변화하는 것에 따라 PN code를 변경하는 방법[1]을 적용하고자 하였다. 전력선 채널의 잡음은 비교적 부하가 고정적인 가로등 전력선 채널로 한정하여 잡음을 모델링 하였으며, 전원전압에 맞추어 잡음의 양에 따라 PN code 길이를 변경하는 FSK 방식의 DS/SS 시스템을 구성하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 적용된 시스템이 전력선 채널에서 효과적 성능을 발휘함을 확인하였다.

충격 잡음은 전력선 통신 시스템의 성능을 열하시키는 대표적인 채널 특성 중 하나이다. 이는 배경잡음에 비해 많게는 수십 dB 이상의 레벨을 가지며, 임의 시간적으로 발생하기 때문에 추정 및 제어가 어렵다. 최근 전력선 통신 시스템이 고속화 되면서 한정된 주파수 대역상에서 한정된 신호 전력으로 대용량의 데이터를 전송하기 위해서 대역효율을 높이기 위한 변복조 기법과 오류정정 코드가 적용되고 있으나, 충격 잡음에 의해서 그 성능이 현저하게 열하된다. 일반적으로 충격잡음은 수신단에서 레벨 제한에 의해 그 영향 정도를 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 전력선 통신 시스템의 성능 향상을 위해 제안되고 있는 LDPC 부호화 OFDM 시스템에 대해 충격 잡음 수신 레벨 제한에 의한 성능 열하의 완화 정도에 대해 연구하였으며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 최적 성능을 위한 수신 레벨 제한 지표를 제시하였다.

A Voltage Instability Predictor(VIP) estimates the proximity of a power system to voltage collapse in real time. Voltage Instability Index(Z-index) from VIP algorithm is estimated using LS(Least Square) method. But this method has oscillations and noise of result due to the system's changing conditions. To suppress oscillations, a larger data window needs to be used. In this paper. I propose the new other method which improves that weakness. It uses RLS(Recursive Least Square) to estimate voltage instability index without a large moving data window so this method is suitable for on-line monitor and control in real time. In order to verify effectiveness of the algorithm using RLS method, the method is tested on HydroQuebec system in real time digital simulator(HYPERSIM).

In this paper EMI problems with induction motor drive system using multi-level inverters are investigated. The high power multi-level inverter usually operates with low switching frequency and produces large noises. Generally, EMI consists of the conduction component through source lines and emission component emitted to the space. This conduction component can be classified to the common-mode between source line and ground, and the normal-mode between lines. The EMI filters for the induction motor drive system are designed and implemented to reduce EMI noise. Finally the designed system is verified by the experiment. The experimental results show that both the normal mode and common mode noises are greatly reduced compared to the system without filters.

We developed a fiber-optic Bragg grating sensor system using a SOA fiber laser for over heat detection in power systems. To compensate the nonlinear wavelength tuning of the fiber laser, we used fixed passband wavelengths from Fabry-Perot ITU filter as reference wavelengths. Gaussian line-fitting algorithm was also used to reduce the FBG peak detection error. Compared with a highest-peak-detection and a polynomial-fitting method, the proposed Gaussian fitting algorithm could drastically reduce the measurement errors. Also the SOA fiber laser made it possible to enhance the signal-to-noise-ratio even with several kilometers of lead fiber.

This paper proposes a phase measurement algorithm which is based on the recursive implementation of sliding-DFT. The proposed algorithm is designed to have a robust behavior against the erroneous factors of frequency drift, additive noise, and twiddle factor approximation. Four channel power-line phase measurement system is also designed and implemented based on the time-multiplexed sharing architecture of the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm's features of phase measurement accuracy and its robustness against the finite wordlength effects can provide a significant impact especially for the ASIC or microprocessor based embedded system applications where the enhanced processing speed and implementation simplicity are crucial design considerations.

This analog communication system overcomes a limit of the digital communication that used an electric power line, and shows a strong characteristic by decrease of impedance along a load or surge-voltage and the same noise. this system is to detect an sound signal added to light through an photo-sensor and a filter circuit. And a signal detected in this way is transmitted to sound through a speaker of an earphone again.

In this paper, we propose a simple and relative electrode contact monitoring method. By exploiting the power line interference, which is regarded as one of the worst noise sources for bio-potential measurement, the relative difference in electrode impedance can be measured without a current or voltage source. Substantial benefits, including no extra circuit components, no degradation of the body potential driving circuit, and no electrical safety problem, can be achieved using this method. Furthermore, this method can be applied to multi-channel isolated bio-potential measurement systems and home health care devices under a steady measuring environment.

We present a multi-Gbit/s digital I/O interface based on RF-modulation and capacitive-coupling over an impedance matched transmission line. The RF-interconnect(RFI) can greatly reduce the digital switching noise and eliminate the dc power dissipation over the channel. It also enables reduced signal amplitude(as low as 200 ㎷) with enhanced data rate and affordable circuit overhead. This paper addresses the system advantages and implementation issues of RFI. A prototype on-chip RFI transceiver is implemented in 0.18-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS. It demonstrates a maximum data rate of 2.2 Gbit/s via 10.5-㎓ RF-modulation. The RFI can be very instrumental for future high-speed inter- and intra-ULSI data links.
