This study presents the design of an 18 kW two-phase interleaved buck converter that uses a coupled inductor for an electric vehicle rapid charger. The designs of a two-phase coupled inductor for current ripple and physical size reduction and a two-phase interleaved buck converter based on silicon carbide metal - oxide - semiconductor field-effect transistor for high efficiency were described in detail. The operating principle of the two-phase interleaved buck converter was analyzed, and the coupled inductor was investigated using a magnetized equivalent circuit. Simulation and experiments were conducted to verify the validity of the proposed two-phase interleaved buck converter, and the theoretical design method and experimental results were confirmed.

영차 공진과 반파장 공진을 이용한 이중 모드 Inductor loaded 패치 안테나의 방사 특성을 연구하였다. 반파장 공진 모드에서 수평방향으로의 방사 이득을 최소화시키는 동시에 전방 방사 이득을 향상시켜 영차 공진 모드 방사 패턴과의 격리도를 향상시켰다. 이중 모드 inductor loaded 패치 안테나 기판의 유전상수가 작을수록, 안테나의 동작 주파수 대역이 높을수록 두 모드 간의 공진 주파수 간격이 증가함을 확인하였다.

A Differential line inductor is proposed for a differential power amplifier. The proposed differential line inductor is composed of two conventional line inductors rearranged to make the current direction of the two line inductors identical. The proposed line inductor is simulated with a 2.5-D and a 3-D EM simulator to verify its feasibility with the substrate information in a 0.18-${\mu}m$ RF CMOS process. The inductances of various line inductors implemented with printed circuit boards were measured. The feasibility of the proposed line inductor was successfully demonstrated.

In this paper, cost effective parallel-branch inductor has been proposed and developed in order to increase the quality factor of the conventional spiral inductor. This parallel-branch inductor is composed of only two metals. The presented parallel-branch inductor shows 12% improvement in the quality factor with the same area as the conventional inductor. Also, we improve the parallel-branch inductor for high frequency applications.

We have developed two absolute evaluation technology of inductor using current transformer (CT) comparator. One is the method that the reactance of inductor is obtained by analysing the equivalent circuit of CT with inductor connected to series at secondary terminal of CT. The other is the method that the reactance of inductor is obtained by comparing phase displacement of current flowing on inductor by using CT comparator. These technologies have the advantage to apply up to rated current and voltage of inductor. The method was applied to inductors under test in the range of $100 {\mu}H{\sim}1\;H$. The inductance of the inductor under test obtained in this study are consistent with those measured by LCR meter using the same inductor within an expanded uncertainty (k = 2) in the overall range of inductance.

This paper proposed a new zero-voltage switching(ZVS) Two-Inductor boost converter. The conventional Two-Inductor boost converter has defect. When the switch is turned off, the high voltage spike is occurred in the switch by leakage inductance and switch parasitic capacitor. To solve this problem, the parallel resonant capacitor is added to the conventional Two-Inductor boost converter. Using quasi-resonant between parallel resonant capacitance and leakage inductance, the switches is operated soft switching. A reduction of transformer turn ratio is achieved by the voltage doubler rectifier.

This paper propose a bidirectional dc-to-dc converter employing dual inductor for current ripple reduction. Conventional bidirectional dc-to-dc converter uses a single inductor for two different modes; boost and buck; therefore it is difficult to satisfy the optimized inductance value for each mode. To improve this problem, the proposed converter adds two switches, a diode, and one inductor. By proper switching of the additional switch, the proposed converter operates with a inductor in boost mode, but it works with dual inductor in buck mode. Hence in both modes the proposed bidirectional converter can be operated with optimized inductance values. Most of all the optimized inductance in buck mode can reduce the current ripple and its effective value(rms), which are directly related to the temperature increase resulted in short lifetime of battery. To verify the validity of the proposed approach, we first analyzes the operation of the proposed converter theoretically, and implement computer-aided simulations and experiments using a prototype.

This study proposes a new single inductor converter for DC grid systems. A conventional system is composed of two independent converters for controlling battery and load. This system is simple but it has two inductors that affect power density and efficiency. The proposed converter can reduce the number of inductors by integrating the two converters and relieve voltage stress on switches by using a battery switching cell. Accordingly, power density and efficiency can be improved using a single inductor and lower voltage-rated switches. A prototype of a 500 W converter is built, and each mode is experimented on to confirm the validity of the proposed converter.

A bidirectional dc-dc converter is used in battery energy storage systems owing to the growing requirements of a charging and discharging mode of battery. The magnetic coupling of output or input inductors in parallel-connected multi modules of a bidirectional dc-dc converter is often utilized to reduce the peak-to-peak ripple size of the inductor current. This study proposes a novel design guideline to achieve minimal ripple size of the inductor current under bidirectional power flow. The newly proposed design guideline of optimized coupling factor is applicable to the buck and boost operation modes of a bidirectional dc-dc converter. Therefore, the coupling factor value of the coupled inductor does not have to be optimized separately for buck and boost operation modes. This new observation is explained using the theoretical model of coupled inductor and confirmed through simulation and experimental test.

This study proposes a current-balancing technique for an interleaved buck converter using a variable inductor and a snubber capacitor. The proposed scheme balances the inductor current by using the variable inductor and enables zero voltage switching under all load ranges. With the variable inductor, the ripple of inductor current changes according to load variation. In addition, a 1.6 kW prototype is built to verify the validity of the proposed scheme, and the experimental results are successfully obtained.
