In this paper, a novel new pulse power generator based on IGBT stacks is proposed for pulse power application. Because it can generate up to 60kV pulse output voltage without any step- up transformer or pulse forming network, it has advantages of fast rising time, easiness of pulse width variation and rectangular pulse shape. Proposed scheme consists of series connected 9 power stages to generate maximum 60kV output pulse and one series resonant power inverter to charge DC capacitor voltage. Each power stages are configured as 8 series connected power cells and each power cell generates up to 850VDC pulse. Finally pulse output voltage is applied using total 72 series connected IGBTs. To reduce component for gate power supply, a simple and robust gate drive circuit is proposed. For gating signal synchronization, full bridge invertor and pulse transformer generates on-off signals of IGBT gating with gate power simultaneously and it has very good characteristics of short circuit protection.

In this paper, we propose a novel shoot-through protection circuit and pulse generator for half-bridge driver IC. We designed a robust half-bridge driver IC over a variation of processes and power supplies. The proposed circuit is composed a delay circuit using a beta-multiplier reference. The proposed circuit has a lower variation rate of dead time and pulse-width over variation of processes and supply voltages than the conventional circuit. Especially, the proposed circuit has more excellent pulse-width matching of set and reset signals than the conventional circuit. Also, the proposed pulse generator is prevented from fault operations using a logic gate. Dead time and pulse-width of the proposed circuit are typical 250 ns, respectively. The variation ratio is 68%(170 ns) of maximum over variation of processes and supply voltages. The proposed circuit is designed using $1\;{\mu}m$ 650 V BCD (Bipolar, CMOS, DMOS) process parameter, and the simulations are carried out using Spectre simulator of Cadence corporation.

During the period from January 1982 to June 1984 we implanted permanent pacemakers in 18 patients who received open heart surgery at Yonsei University Hospital. 1.In 11 patients, open heart surgery was performed at Yonsei University Hospital and new surgical induced heart blocks were developed and implantations of permanent pacemaker were done. 2.Total 1035 open heart surgeries were done and implantations of pacemaker were performed in 11 cases. [1.06%]. After total correction of TOF [215 cases] implantations of pacemaker were done in 3 cases. [1.4%] Implantations of pacemaker were 0.37% after VSD repair, 0.78% after ASD repair, 5.9% after ECD repair, 0.48% after MVR and 2.0% after AVR. 3.Causes were complete A-V block, sick sinus syndrome and A-V dissociation. 4.Heart blocks were developed immediately after bypass stop in 8 patients. 5.Implantations of pacemaker were done at more than 2 weeks after open heart surgery. 6.Local anesthesia was done in adult and general anesthesia in infants. Locations of pulse generator were subxiphoid, subcostal & subclavian. Position of pulse generator was between subcutaneous fat layer and muscle layer. 7.Types of pulse generator were VVI, VDD and AAI. 8.The postoperative complications included infection, pacing failure, sensing failure and lead dislodgment.

The pulsed plasma wire-plate reactor was analyzed on the basis of experiment, EMTP simulation and modelling method. Though the reactor has a non-linear impedance characteristics, we demonstrate that the reactor impedance can be approximately analyzed with the measured initial capacitance and average resistive component of flat zone. Using this modelling method, the influence of the reactor capacitance on the impedance matching between pulse generator and reactor can be investigated. From this, we found that the energy of 95% was delivered form pulse generator to reactor at the ratio of $C_r/C_p\cong 0.3,\; where\; C_p\; is\; pulse\; generator\; capacitance, C_r$ is reactor capacitance.

We have proposed and experimentally verified a pulse-width modulation (PWM) generator which directly generated a PWM signal in the optical domain. Output waveforms were clear at the repetition rate of 16 MHz; the duty cycle (DC) was from 14.7% to 72.1%; and the DC-control resolution was about 4.399%/dB. The PWM generator' operation principle is based on the injection-locking property of a single-mode Fabry-$P{\acute{e}}rot$ laser diode (SMFP-LD). The SMFP-LD, which has a self-locked mode wavelength at ${\lambda}_{PWM}$, was used to detect the power of the injection-locking signal (optical analog input). If the analog input power is high, the SMFP-LD is locked to the wavelength of the input signal ${\lambda}_a$ and there is no output after an optical bandpass filter (OBF). If the analog input power is low, the SMFP-LD is unlocked and there is output signal at ${\lambda}_{PWM}$ after the OBF. Thus, the SMFP-LD plus the OBF provide digital output for an analog input. The DC of the output PWM signal can be controlled by tuning the power of the analog input.

The negative wire of an electrolytic ozone generator, proposed by authors, has been contaminated by attaching the impurity particulate in tap water, which is called BUILD-UP phenomenon. The higher applied voltage and the larger wire diameter have shown the higher build-up rate, which makes the current reducing largely and concurrently the ozone production smaller. It is found that the positive electrode of the ozone generator has a strong SELF-CLEANING effect by detaching the impurity particulate from its surface, which, however, is used us a novel means of solving the build-up problem. As a result, the build-up problem can be solved effectively by applying an alternate square wave pulse voltage to the electrodes so as to get the self-cleaning ability on the both electrodes during each of the half pulse duration time.

본 논문에서 트랜지스터를 이용하여 Ultra Wide Bandwidth(UWB)통신 시스템의 구성 요소의 하나인 임펄스 발생기를 설계하였다. 이 펄스 발생기는 두 가지 스텝으로 이루어져 있다. 첫 번째 스텝에서 트랜지스터 스위칭 동작과 스위칭 동작에 걸리는 시간을 이용하여 트랜지스터의 가우시안 펄스를 만든다. 두 번째 스텝에서 고 대역 통과 필터를 이용하여 모노싸이클 임펄스로 변환시킨다. 결과인 임펄스의 크기는 약 +/-250 ㎷ 정도이고, 펄스의 폭은 0.9 ns로서 펄스폭은 트랜지스터의 동작 시간과 일치하였다.

Conventional series-resonant pulse frequency modulation controlled DC-DC high power converters with a high-frequency transformer link which is designed for driving the high power microwave generator has the problem of hard switching commutation at turn-on and turn-off of active power switching devices. This problem is due to the influence of the magnetizing current of the high-frequency transformer. This paper presents a novel prototype for a high-frequency transformer using parasitic parameters with a lossless inductive snubber and a series resonant capacitor assisted series-resonant zero current switching pulse frequency modulated DC-DC power converter, which is designed using a high power magnetron for microwave ovens. In order to implement a complete and efficient soft switching commutation, the performance of the new converter topology is practically confirmed and evaluated in the prototype of a power microwave generator.

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.
