In this paper, we propose a DFD (Digital Frequency Discriminator) design that has better frequency discrimination and a smaller size. Electronic warfare equipment can analyze different types of radar signal such as those based on Frequency, Pulse Width, Time Of Arrival, Pulse Amplitude, Angle Of Arrival and Modulation On Pulse. In order for electronic warfare equipment to analyze radar signals with a narrow pulse width (less than 100ns), they need to have a special receiver structure called IFM (Instantaneous Frequency Measurement). The DFD (Digital Frequency Discriminator) is usually used for the IFM. Because the existing DFDs are composed of separate circuit devices, they are bulky, heavy, and expensive. To remedy these shortcomings, we use a three delay line ($1{\lambda}$, $4{\lambda}$, $16{\lambda}$) in the DFD, instead of the four delay line ($1{\lambda}$, $4{\lambda}$, $16{\lambda}$, $64{\lambda}$) generally used in the existing DFDs, and apply the microwave integrated circuit method. To enhance the frequency discrimination, we detect the pulse amplitude and perform temperature correction. The proposed DFD has a frequency discrimination error of less than 1.5MHz, affording it better performance than imported DFDs.

In this paper, a DC smoothing filterless soft switching pulse modulated high frequency AC power conversion circuit connected to utility. frequency AC power source is proposed for consumer induction heating hot water producer, steamer and super heated steamer. The operating principle of DC link filterless utility frequency AC-high frequency AC (HF AC) power conversion circuit defined as high frequency cycloinverter is described, which can operate under a principle of ZVS/AVT and power regulation based on alternate asymmetrical PWM in synchronization with the utility frequency single phase AC positive or negative half wave voltage. The dual mode modulation control scheme based on high frequency PWM and commercial frequency AC voltage PDM for the proposed high frequency cycloinverter are discussed to enlarge its soft switching commutation operating range for wide HF AC power regulation. This high frequency cycloinverter is developed for high frequency IH Dual Packs Heater (DPH) type boiler used in consumer and industrial fluid pipeline systems. Based on the experiment and simulation results, this high frequency cycloinverter is proved to be suitable for the consumer use IH-DPH boiler and hot water producers. The cycloinverter power regulation and power conversion efficiency characteristics are evaluated and discussed.

Due to advancements in power electronics and inverter topologies, the current controlled multilevel voltage-source pulse width modulated (PWM) inverter is usually preferred for accurate control, quick response and high dynamic performance. A multilevel topology approach is found to be best suited for overcoming many problems arising from the use of high power converters. This paper presents a comprehensive review and comparative study of several current control (CC) techniques for multilevel inverters with a special emphasis on various approaches of the hysteresis current controller. Since the hysteresis CC technique poses a problem of variable switching frequency, a ramp-comparator controller and a predictive controller to attain constant switching frequency are described along with its quantitative comparison. Furthermore, various methods have been reviewed to achieve hysteresis current control PWM with constant switching frequency operation. This paper complies various guidelines to choose a particular method suitable for application at a given power level, switching frequency and dynamic response.

Enthalpy transport in a pulse tube was investigated by two-dimensional analysis of mass, momentum and energy equations of the gas as well as energy conservation of the tube wall. The mean temperature of the gas and the tube wall was obtained directly by assuming that the outer surface of a pulse tube is adiabatic. Effects of operating frequency, tube wall thickness, velocity ratio and velocity phase angle between both ends of a pulse tube on net enthalpy flow were shown.

This paper describes the sinusoidal, pulse, triangular oscillator using second generation current conveyor. To obtain the sinusoidal waveform the circuit blocks are constructed by using all pass filter and integrator. The pulse and the triangular waveforms are obtained from the output of sinusoidal oscillator. The peak-to-peak voltages of sinusoidal and triangular waveforms can be easily controlled by the dc offset voltage. Also the output frequency of the oscillator can be controlled by varying passive elements. The designed circuit is verified by HSPICE simulation.

Applying a higher frequency periodic control signal, a state of a chaotic pulse-train generator is quantized. The circuit has various co-existing super-stable periodic pulse-trains (ab. SSPTs) and generates one of them depending on the initial state. Also correlation characteristics of the SSPTs are analyzed precisely. We then consider application of the SSPTs to spread sequences of CDMA with pulse-train signals.

A new method of driving the PDP(Plasma Display Panel) was proposed and its characteristics were investigated. Applying high frequency non-discharge pulses to an auxiliary anode resulted an increased region of stable operation, decreased delay time and increased light intensity. It is suggested that PDP with DPM (Double Pulse Memory) drive technique improves the delay time, luminance, region of stable operation and luminous efficacy compared to PDP with PPM(Planar Pulse Memory) drive technique developed by NHK Lab. in Japan.

Some signals, such as in radar system, are transmitted as periodic pulse trains. If more than one pulse train are transmitted over the same communication channel, a problem is to separate them for source identification and extract each pulse train at the receiver. This is known as pulse train deinterleaving. In this paper, we present an approach for deinterleaving the pulse trains and extracting their periods combining the estimation of the frequency of each pulse train by DFT, CDIF/SDIF histogram and Sequence Search technique. Also, we present the result of deinterleaving pulse trains and extracting PRI in the complex environment which multiple signals are interleaved.
