Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is a system to system or environment to system phenomenon. The literature survey proved that the Randomized Pulse Width Modulation (RPWM) technique is a promising technique to reduce EMI. A new Constant Trailing Edge, Randomized Pulse Width Modulation (CTERPWM) technique is proposed in this paper. The effect of the proposed RPWM technique for mitigation of conducted-EMI on Cuk converter operating in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) is simulated and tested. In this paper, the analytical expressions for the Power Spectral Density (PSD) are derived for the proposed RPWM technique and are validated by experimental measurements. The effectiveness of the proposed RPWM technique on the mitigation of conducted-EMI is verified comparing simulation and experimental results and it is identified that both the results are almost similar with allowable experimental deviations. The comparative investigation proves that the proposed RPWM technique can mitigate and spread the dominant peaks of conducted-EMI over the complete spectrum for the Cuk converter. Based on the investigation the CTERPWM technique is recommended for adoption.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) represents beat-to-beat fluctuations of R-R intervals in Electrocardiogram (ECG). On of the clinical applications of HRV is to assess the mental-stress state by evaluating its power spectral density distribution. This study aims at finding new discriminative role of the coupled-oscillating coupling constants, Cs and Cp in the Integral Pulse Frequency Modulation (IPFM) model. Based on comparing with power spectral density of HRV in terms of the relative ratio of the low and high-frequency power component, we can conclude the fact that the coupling parameters Cs and Cp can replace the role of HRV power spectrum interpretation for judging the mental-stress state.

한정된 주파수 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안된 초광대역 통신 시스템은 전 주파수 대역에 걸쳐 스펙트럼이 마치 기저 대역 잡음과 유사한 형태로 존재하여 타 통신 시스템에 간섭을 주지 않고 고속의 통신이 가능하며, 반송파를 사용하지 않기 때문에 송 수신기의 소비 전력과 그 구조를 간략화 시킬 수 있다. 그러나 기존의 펄스위치 방식 (Pulse Positioning Modulation : PPM)은 주파수 스펙트럼 상에 불연속 전력 스펙트럼 성분이 존재하여 시스템의 효율을 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 불연속 전력 스펙트럼 성분이 발생하지 않고, 유클리드 거리가 최대가 될 수 있는 Antipodal 신호를 제안한다. 또한, 고주파 시뮬레이터인 Agilent사의 Advanced Design System을 사용하여 Antipodal 신호를 이용한 변 복조기를 설계하여 구현 및 적용 가능성을 보였다.

Ultra-wideband(UWB) is a killer technology for short-range wireless communications. In the past, most of the UWB research focused on physical layer but the unique characteristics of UWB make it different to design the upper layer protocols than conventional narrow band systems. Cross-layer protocols have received high attention for UWB networks. In this paper, we investigate the performance of two physical layer schemes: Time Hopping Binary Pulse Position Modulation(TH-BPPM) and Time Hopping Binary Pulse Amplitude Modulation (TH-BPAM) with proposed private MAC protocol for UWB ad-hoc networks. From pulse level to packet level simulation is done in network simulator ns-2 with realistic network environments for varying traffic load, mobility and network density. Our simulation result shows TH-BPAM outperforms TH-BPPM in high traffic load, mobility and dense network cases but in a low traffic load case identical performance is achieved.

본 논문에서는 고효율 및 고전력밀도의 새로운 주파수 가변형(PFM) 직렬 부스트 캐패시터(SBC) 풀 브리지 DC/DC 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 회로는 기존 위상천이 풀 브리지 컨버터와 달리 스위칭 주파수에 따라 직렬 부스트 캐패시터의 전압을 가변하여 출력전압을 제어하는 방식으로, 50% 고정 시비율로 구동되므로 환류구간이 존재하지 않아 도통손실이 작다. 또한 넓은 부하 영역에 대해 영전압 스위칭 동작이 보장되며, 출력 인덕터 전류 리플도 매우 작아 출력 인덕터의 사이즈를 줄일 수 있어 대전류 사양에 매우 적합한 장점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 회로의 이론적 해석 및 PSIM Simulation을 수행하며, 이를 실제로 1.2kW급(12V, 100A) 서버용 컴퓨터 전원장치의 프로토 타입 제작을 통한 실험결과로부터 제안된 회로의 동작특성과 타당성을 검증한다.

초광대역 통신은 전 주파수 대역에 걸쳐 스펙트럼이 존재하는 광대역 신호를 이용하는 방식이다. 이 신호의 스펙트럼은 마치 기저 대역 잡음과 유사한 형태로 존재하고 그 전력 또한 매우 낮게 구성할 수 있으므로, 타 통신 시스템에 간섭을 주지 않고 통신을 가능하게 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 평균값이 0이고 대칭성을 갖는 레일리 모노펄스 Antipodal 방식을 처음으로 적용하였다. 확률 과정에 의한 전력 스펙트럼을 분석한 결과, 기존의 펄스 위치 변조에서 발생되는 불연속 스펙트럼을 완전히 제거하여 스펙트럼의 억압도를 높이고, 오류 확률 및 전송 속도 면에서도 유리함을 보였다.

Recently, demands for the development of compact, lightweight power supplies with higher power density and higher efficiency have been increased. Since Piezoelectric Transformer (PT) was emerged in device and material industry, it has been suggested as a viable alternative to the magnetic transformer in some applications. PT has some advantages such as low profile and mechanical energy transfer with little electromagnetic interface (EMI). Also, PT can provide high voltage stepping ratio with good isolation and requires no copper windings saving copper usage especially for large voltage conversion differences. Conventional control of PT converter has mainly two-way. One is the pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control method and the other is the pulse width modulation (PWM) control with frequency fixed method. It is known that the maximum PT efficiency can be obtained when it operates near the resonant frequency of the PT. And, also PT's resonant frequency moves according to the load condition. Therefore, selection of PT converter control method is very difficult. This paper analyzes general piezo-electric converter modeling and proposes a guide-line to selection of control method and stabilization control.

이 논문에서 협대역 간섭 잡음이 존재하는 환경에서 UWB(Ultra-Wide Bandwidth) 통신 시스템의 성능을 분석한다. UWB 통신 시스템은 일반적으로 사용되는 펄스시간위치변조 (Pulse Position Modulation)를 사용하며, 이때 전송 펄스는 가우시안 모노사이클이다. 또한, 다중접근간섭 (Multiple Access Interference)의 영향도 고려한다. 협대역 간섭은 특정 대역에서 일정한 전력 스펙트럼을 갖는 평균이 영인 랜덤 과정으로 모델링 하였다. 이 해석을 통하여, PPM 변조시 사용되는 시간 편이를 적절히 조절하고, 수신기에서 template 신호를 조정함으로써 협대역 간섭을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

This paper presents a novel soft-switching PWM utility frequency AC to high frequency AC power conversion circuit incorporating boost H-bridge inverter topology, which is more suitable and acceptable for cost effective consumer induction heating applications. The operating principle and the operation modes are presented using the switch mode equivalent circuits and the operating voltage and current waveforms. The performances of this high-frequency inverter using the latest IGBTs are illustrated, which includes high frequency power regulation and actual efficiency characteristics based on zero voltage soft-switching(ZVS) operation ranges, and the power dissipation as compared with those of the conventional type high frequency inverter. In addition, a dual mode control scheme of this high frequency inverter based on asymmetrical pulse width modulation(PWM) and pulse density modulation(PDM) control scheme is discussed in this paper in order to extend the soft switching operation ranges and to improve the power conversion efficiency at the low power settings. The power converter practical effectiveness is substantially proved based on experimental results from practical design example.
