The cascaded H Bridge (CHB) multilevel inverter (MLI) is popular among the classical MLI topologies due to its modularity and reliability. Although space vector modulation (SVM) is the most suitable modulation scheme for MLIs, it has not been used widely in industry due to the higher complexity involved in its implementation. In this paper, a simple and novel generalized SVM algorithm is proposed, which has both reduced time and space complexity. The proposed SVM involves the generalization of both the duty cycle calculation and switching sequence generation for any n-level inverter. In order to generate the gate pulses for an inverter, a generalized switch matrix (SM) for the CHB inverter is also introduced, which further simplifies the algorithm. The algorithm is tested and verified for three-phase, three-level and five-level CHB inverters in simulations and hardware implementation. A comparison of the proposed method with existing SVM schemes shows the superiority of the proposed scheme.

The time slot assignment problem (TSAP) or Satellite Communications scheduling problem (SCSP) for a satellite performs $n{\times}n$ ground station data traffic switching has been known NP-hard problem. This paper suggests $O(n^2)$ time complexity algorithm for TSAP of a satellite that performs $n^2{\times}n^2$ ground station data traffic switching. This problem is more difficult than $n{\times}n$ TSAP as NP-hard problem. Firstly, we compute the average traffic for n-transponder's basic coverage zone and applies ground station exchange method that swap the ground stations until all of the transponders have a average value as possible. Nextly, we transform the D matrix to $D_{LB}$ traffic matrix that sum of rows and columns all of transponders have LB. Finally, we select the maximum traffic of row and column in $D_{LB}$, then decide the duration of kth switch mode to minimum traffic from selected values. The proposed algorithm can be get the optimal solution for experimental data.

When the isolation between transmitter and receiver in Electronic Warfare equipment is not sufficient, the radiated noise jamming signal from the transmitter feeds back into the receiver and interferes with receiving radar pulse signal. Therefore pulse jamming and noise jamming can't be performed together in the same frequency bands. In this paper, we present a time-sharing TX/RX control technique of the switch matrix which inhibits the transmission of noise jamming signal by using the predicted gate of pulse train and also makes the corresponding channel filter operate to receive the radar pulse signal during the predicted gate pulse. This technique was implemented by EPLD and confirmed by experiment. The proposed technique enables the pulse jamming and the noise jamming to be simultaneously executed in multiple jamming environments.

The paper unleashes a new idea to arrive at reduced switch count topological structures configured in the form of a matrix for a cascaded Multi level inverter (CMLI). The theory encircles to minimize the number of switches involved in the conduction path and there from acclaim reduced input current distortion, lower switching losses and electromagnetic interference. The focus extends to standardize the number of power devices required for reaching different levels of output voltage from the same architecture. It includes appropriate pulse width modulation (PWM) strategy to generate firing pulses and ensure the desired operation of the power modules. The investigative study carries with it MATLAB based simulation and experimental results obtained using suitable prototypes to illustrate the viability of the proposed concept. The promising nature of the performance projects a new dimension in the use of single phase MLIs for renewable energy related applications.

A microplasma current switch (MPCS) for a device operated in a current mode like organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), which features matrix addressability and current switching, is presented as well as its architecture and operational principle. The MPCS utilizes the intrinsic memory and conductivity of plasmas to achieve matrix addressability and current switching. We have fabricated a $100\;mm\;{\times}\;100\;mm$ MPCS panel in which its cell pitch is $1080\;{\mu}m\;{\times}\;1080\;{\mu}m$. The matrix addressability and current switching were verified. In addition, the current-voltage (I-V) characteristic of the unit cell was measured when plasmas were ignited. In principle, the scheme of the MPCS is equivalent to that of a double Langmuir probe diagnosing plasma parameters except for their relative dimensions to a plasma volume. Accordingly, the I-V characteristic was analyzed by a double Langmuir probe theory, and the plasma density and electron temperature were estimated from the I-V curve using a collisional double Langmuir probe theory.

Matrix converter is an energy conversion device of controlled power semiconductor switches that directly connects the three-phase source to the three-phase load. With no dc-link components for energy storage in the matrix converter the input current depends directly upon the load currents and the switch state of the converter. Therefore the unbalanced and distorted input voltages can result in unwanted output harmonic currents. This paper presents a current compensator based on neural network to improving output current quality for matrix converter under abnormal input voltage conditions. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed technique has been proven through numerical simulations and experimental tests.

Recently, more electric power facilities have been miniaturized and it is noted that the facilities maintenance will be essential through operation optimization. In this paper we applied and examined the operation optimization of electric power facilities by applying Matrix system which can improve reliability to minimize outage and recover failure rapidly when blackouts happen at 25.8kV Gas Insulated Switchgear(GIS). The fundamental problem for facilities maintenance of GIS can happen due to indeterminable internal state in real time. Matrix optimization organizes action states in all containers which contain pressurized $SF_6$ Gas such as circuit breaker, disconnector switch, bus for utilizing them each area. Then, we connect it with power system to monitor and control internal state remotely in real time, and we can minimize blackout zone or outage. Considering above process, we improved stability of overall facilities.

In this paper, we propose a new method to automatically recognize PRI modulation type of radar signal at ES(Electronic Support) in electronic singal environment. The propose method stores pattern of PRI(Pulse Repetition Interval) of radar signal and uses statistic data, which firstly classifies into 2 classes. Then the proposed method recognizes each PRI signal using statistic characteristic of PRI. We apply various 5 kinds of PRI signal such as constant PRI, jitter PRI, D&S(dwell & switch) PRI, stagger PRI, sliding PRI, etc. The result shows the proposed method correctly identifies various PRI signals.
