In this paper, broadband shunt technique for increasing transmission loss is experimentally investigated. Piezoelectric shunt damping is studied using resonant shunt circuit and negative capacitor shunt circuit. A resonant shunt circuit is implemented by using a resistor and inductor. Negative Capacitor shunt damping is similar in nature to resonant shunt damping techniques, as a single piezoelectric material is used to dampen multi-mode. Performance of both methods is experimentally studied for noise reduction. This is based upon SAE J1400 test method and a transmission loss measurement system is provided for it. This paper will present the test setup fer transmission loss measurement and the tuning procedure of shunt circuits. Finally the results of sound transmission tests will be shown.

This paper deals with a fixed frequency full-bridge inverter type DC-DC high-power converter with high frequency high voltage(HFHV) transformer-coupled stage, which operates under quasi-resonant ZVS transition priciple in spite of a wide PWM-based voltage regulation processing and largely-changed load conditions. This multi-resonant(MR) converter topology is composed of a series capacitor-connected parallel resonant tank which makes the most of parasitic circuit reactive components of HFHV transformer and two additional quasi-resonant pole circuits incorporated into the bridge legs. The soft-switching operation and practical efficacy of this new converter circuit using the latest IGBTs are actually ascertained through 50kV trially-produced converter system operating using 20kHz/30kHz high voltage(HV) transformers which is applied for driving the diagnostic HV X-ray tube load in medical equipments. It is proved from a practical point of view that the switching losses of IGBTs and their electrical dynamic stresses relating to EMI noise can be considerably reduced under a high frequency(HF) switching-based phase-shift PWM control process for a load setting requirements.

This proposed paper aims for the high efficiency contactless power transfer in household dc power distribution. A 300 W five-level diode clamped multi-level converter with 300 Vdc input dc link bus is employed for the power transferring task and the output voltage range is controlled at 48 Vdc. The inner and outer solenoid coils are used for inductive power transfer (IPT) transformer with the 200 kHz switching frequency for designed power density. Therefore, to achieve the converter efficiency above 95%, the LLC series resonant with fundamental harmonic analysis (FHA) and the calculated switching angles are used as an optimized tool for designing the system resonant tank. The validations of this approached topology are illustrated in both MATLAB/Simulink simulation and implementation.

The high efficiency multi-resonant converter(MRC) is capable of operating at a high frequency because the losses are decreased due to the resonant tank circuit. Such a few MHz high frequency applications provide high power density[W/inch3] of the converter. However, the resonant voltage stress across the switch of the resonant tank circuit is 4∼5 times input voltage. This high voltage stress increases the conduction losses because of on-resistance of a MOSFET with higher rating. In this paper, the modeling analysis for the AT Forward MRC suggested to solve the these problems is discusses. The operational modes of the AT Forward MRC are divided to 8 equivalent modes according to the two switching sequences. Each mode analysis is covered using the equivalent circuits modeled over all of the paper. The operational principle of the resonant converter was verified through the experimental converter with 48[V] input voltage, 5[V]/50[W] output voltage/power and PSpice simulation. The measured maximum voltage, 5[V]/50[W] output voltage/power and PSpice simulation. The measure maximum voltage stress is 170[V] of 2.9 times the input voltage and the maximum efficiency is measured to 81.66%.

In this paper, forward Zero Voltage Switching Multi Resonant Converter(ZVS MRC) for non-contact charging energy transmission is reposed. The forward ZVS MRC is effective in adsorbing parasitic element as well as minimizing the switching loss. That can accommodate very high frequency. So forward ZVC MRC is applied to non-contact charging energy transmission. Used converter has saperatable transformer and synchronous rectifiers. Coupling coefficient(k), leakage inductance, coupling inductance and resonant frequency are observed for the air gap. By using the observed value, this circuit is designed and implemented. This proposed circuit is simulated by the PSPICE and experimented. The voltage stress of a main switch and the output power of the converter are measured. This paper show that is compatible for non-contact charging energy transmission.

In this paper, the resonant characteristic of a Tonpilz transducer with a fixed tail mass has been studied by means of an equivalent circuit approach. An equivalent circuit has been designed to describe the characteristic of a Tonpilz transducer that has an additional resonance because of its fixed tail mass. The transmitting voltage response of the transducer calculated by the designed circuit has been compared with that by the FEA (finite element analysis) to confirm the validity of the circuit. This equivalent circuit approach produces identical results with the FEA, in which the variation of resonant frequencies and TVR has been clearly figured out in relation to the stiffness of the mounting fixture and the mass of the tail mass. The suggested equivalent circuit can be utilized to figure out the characteristics of the Tonpilz transducer more efficiently than FEA that requires much calculation time and revision of the models in accordance with the variation of design variables.

A new zero-current switching LLC resonant post-regulator for multi-output power system is proposed in this paper. A conventional LLC resonant converter employs extra non-isolated DC/DC converters to obtain tight-regulated multi-slave output voltages. Therefore, it has several serious problems such as a poor efficiency and high cost of production. The proposed post-regulator features low voltage and current stress across the output rectifier diodes and power switches. Moreover, the proposed post-regulator requires only one power switch instead of the bulky and expensive non-isolated DC/DC converter. Therefore, it features a simple structure and lower cost. Especially, since the proposed post-regulator can ensure the ZCS of all power switches, it has very desirable advantages such as more improved EMI characteristics and reduced switching losses. Finally, to confirm the operation, validity, and features of the proposed circuit, experimental results from a proposed zero-current LLC resonant post-regulator are presented.
