This paper demonstrates a systematic approach for the design of broadband, high efficiency, high power, Class-AB RF amplifiers with high gain flatness. It is usually difficult to simultaneously achieve a high gain flatness and high efficiency in a broadband RF power amplifier, especially in a high power design. As a result, the use of a computer-aided simulation is most often the best way to achieve these goals; however, an appropriate initial value and a systematic approach are necessary for the simulation results to rapidly converge. These objectives can be accomplished with a minimum of trial and error through the following techniques. First, signal gain variations are reduced over a wide bandwidth using a proper pre-matching network. Then, the source and load impedances are satisfactorily obtained from small-signal and load-pull simulations, respectively. Finally, two high-order Chebyshev low-pass filters are employed to provide optimum input and output impedance matching networks over a bandwidth of 100 MHz-500 MHz. By using an EM simulation for the substrate, the simulation results were observed to be in close agreement with the measured results.

At present, harmonic currents cause serious problems in power conversion system using the semiconductor switching device. Also some of the conversion system provokes harmonic currents against to the main power supply system and causes hindrances for the system. Main power impedance of the traditional LC passive filter method, influences on the filter characteristics and amplifies the harmonics when resonance phenomenon is occurred. And the traditional existing 2 level inverter systems show the limit in capacity of voltage and current in case of occurring sudden load change. So, to solve this problem active filter which uses cascaded H-bridge multi level inverter has been designed and ex-filter system circuits were totally investigated. With multi level active filtering system not only the size of filter but also the size of filter for transformer can be reduced by half and so as to the weight, while the capacity of inverter can be double sized and wave forms can be compensated exactly and precisely. Also by the benefit of the increase in rating capacity, the various currents owing to the load fluctuation can be dealt more steadily. In order to simulate the wave form of harmonics based on the measured data on the AC 25kV high speed Domestic Commercial railway, it was simulated with PSCAD/EMTDC and PSIM. Based on the results of this demonstration, the power supply system and inverter system would be more stable and also promoting its efficiency.

This study proposes an indirect constant voltage control algorithm for hybrid solid-state transformers (HSSTs) by using primary side information. Considering the structure of HSSTs, measuring voltage and current information on the primary side of a transformer is necessary to control the converter and inverter of the power converter. The secondary side output voltage is measured to apply the conventional secondary side constant voltage control algorithm, and thus, the digital control board requires the same rated insulation voltage as that of the transformer. To solve this problem, the secondary voltage of the transformer obtained from the tap voltage is used. Moreover, output voltage decreases as load increases because the proposed indirect constant voltage control scheme does not consider the cable impedance between the secondary output terminal and the load. This study also proposes a technique for compensating the secondary output voltage by using the primary current of the transformer and the resistance value of the cable. An experiment is conducted using a scale-down HSST prototype consisting of a 660 V/220 V tap transformer. The problem of the proposed indirect constant voltage control strategy and the improvement effect due to the application of the compensation method are compared using the derived experimental results.

본 논문에서는 W-대역에서 동작하는 고이득 캐스코드 혼합기를 설계 및 제작하였다. W-대역과 같이 높은 주파수 대역에서는 소자의 성능저하로 인해 혼합기의 변환손실이 커지게 된다. 이는 송수신단 구성 시 RF 버퍼 증폭기와 같은 추가적인 이득을 줄 수 있는 회로의 추가로 이어지고 이는 시스템 전체의 선형성 및 안정성에 영향을 미친다. 따라서 혼합기 설계 시 변환이득을 최대화하는 설계가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 혼합기의 변환이득을 최대화하는 것에 초점을 두고 높은 변환이득을 얻기 위해 혼합기의 바이어스를 최적화하였고, 로드-풀 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 출력 정합회로를 최적화하였다. 설계된 회로는 $0.1-{\mu}m$ GaAs pHEMT 공정을 이용하여 제작하였고, 측정을 통해 성능을 검증하였다. 제작된 회로는 W-대역에서 -4.7 dB의 최대 변환이득과 2.5 dBm의 입력 1-dB 감쇄 전력이 측정되었다.

An out-of-step condition results from the loss of the synchronism of the generators. A disturbance in a power system causes the generator angle to oscillate. When there is a severe disturbance such as a heavy current fault loss of major generation or loss of a large block of load, the oscillation can be severe and even increase largely and finally the out-of-step condition may un. During the power swing and out-of-step conditions, the apparent impedance at a relay location changes, and the power flow also changes as the angle difference is varied. This paper presents a method to analyze the trajectory of complex power during a power swing and out-of-step condition. The trajectory of the complex power is analyzed when a power swings and a fault occurs. Moreover, the complex power is analyzed when the ratios between the voltages at both sides and the line impedances are changed. These methods are verified through simulation using the ATP/EMTP MODELS.

A ultrasonic transduce with a single acoustic matching layer has been designed as an attempt to increase the bandwidth of underwater transducer. The wideband resonance condition was accomplished by attaching a single matching layer on the front face of a ceramic resonator composed of a piezoelectric bar, a taper part and a head part. A modified Mason's model was used for the performance analysis and the design of transducers, and the constructed transducers were tested experimentally and numerically by changing the impedance and thickness of the matching layer in the water tank.The obtained results are summarized as follows:1. Measured resonant and antiresonant frequencies of the piezoelectric transducer with no matching layer in air were 24.7 kHz and 25.6 kHz, respectively. 2. Two resonant frequencies of the piezoelectric transducer with a single matching layer were 21.7 kHx and 26.9 kHz, respectively, in air and 21.4 kHz and 22.7 kHz, respectively, with a water load.3. Two distinct resonance peaks in the transmitting voltage response(TVR) of the developed transducer were observed at 22.0 kHz and 25.8 kHz, respectively, with center frequency of 24.0 kHz. The values of TVR at these frequencies were 130.1 dB re $1 \muPa$/V at 22.0 kHz and 128.5 dB re $1 \muPa$/V at 25.8 kHz, respectively.Reasonable agreement between the experimental results and the numerical values was achieved.
