A new TWA(Traveling-wave-based Waveform Approximation)-based signal integrity verification method for practical interconnect layout structures which are composed of non-uniform RLC lines with various discontinuities is presented. Transforming the non-uniform lines into virtual uniform lines, signal integrity of the practical layout structures can be very efficiently estimated by using the TWA-technique. It is shown that the proposed technique can estimate the signal integrity much more efficiently than generic SPICE circuit model with 5% timing error and 10% crosstalk error.

This power proposes a new sensorless drive system for the trapezoidal brushless DC motor generally requiring mechanical position or speed sensor. For this an indirect rotor position sensing method from the back emf waveform of non-conducting phase is explained. Back emf waveform of non-conducting is obtained from analysing terminal voltage created by making Y-connection. And an experiment is implemented with a driving system which use 87c196mc microcontroller having a peripheral associated with 3-phase signals and inverter composed of Power MOSFET. The experimental results show the validity and practicality of the proposed sensorless drive.

In this paper, we propose a new exponential pulse shaping function based on Chebychev identity equation and Bessel coefficients. The proposed pulse shaping function can produce various pulses with the different characteristics in the time and frequency domain by changing its two parameters. By differentiating the exponential pulse shaping function, we obtain new different pulse functions, in which the even order derivatives of the exponential pulse shaping function are orthogonal to its odd order derivatives. To find the efficiency of the proposed exponential pulse shaping function we analyze its essential characteristics and compare them with those of the conventional Gaussian pulses. We can choose the most suitable exponential pulse waveform according to the design criteria of communication systems.

In this paper, we develop an analytical expression for the propagation delay of submicrometer CMOS inverter using the triangle-shaped waveform of output current and two fitting parameters. Our model shows that simulation results are well in accordance with HSPICE results. Maximum simulation errors of total inverter delay and jitter are below 0.6% and 2.8%, respectively. Comparing with previous researches, the new model has better fittering characteristics in the range of low operating voltage. We also have fabricated the inverters with ten chains and estimated inverter delay and jitter characteristics. The results show that the values of delay and jitter in the fabricated samples come close to the values of those in the new model.

It's a challenging task to design a high performance modulation for satellite and space communications due to the limited power and bandwidth resource. Constant envelope modulation is an attractive scheme to be used in such cases for their needlessness of input power back-off about 2~3 dB for avoidance of nonlinear distortion induced by high power amplifier. The envelope of Feher quadrature phase shift keying (FQPSK) has a least fluctuation of 0.18 dB (quasi constant envelope) and can be further improved. This paper improves FQPSK by defining a set of new waveform functions, which changes FQPSK to be a strictly constant envelope modulation. The performance of the FQPSK adopting new waveform is justified by analysis and simulation. The study results show that the novel FQPSK is immune to the impact of HPA and outperforms conventional FQPSK on bit error rate (BER) performance. The BER performance of this novel modulation is better than that of FQPSK by more than 0.5 dB at least and 2 dB at most.

Recently, the demand of LED(light-emitting diode) lighting is gradually enlarged by governmental saveenergy policy, which the LED lighting has been established compulsorily in new buildings, public institutions, and residential installations etc.. The LED lighting is driven by SMPS (switching mode power supply). The SMPS requires high efficiency because the SMPS changes a commercial ac power source to low voltage dc power source. Harmonic components that occur in the conversion process of SMPS decrease system power factor and deal great damage in electric power system. To improve such problems, this paper proposes a SMPS of high efficiency. The switching devices in the proposed SMPS are operated by soft switching technique using a new quasi-resonant circuit. The input ac current waveform in the proposed SMPS becomes a quasi-sinusoidal waveform proportional to the magnitude of input ac voltage under constant switching frequency. As a result, the proposed SMPS obtains low switching power loss and high efficiency, and its input power factor is nearly in unity.

When we measure the acoustical properties of a room using multiple microphone system, it is important to grasp exact time delay of the early reflections from impulse response pair. But it is often very difficult to identify the early reflections in natural shape, because a waveform may be deformed due to the characteristics of a sound source loudspeaker, microphone and reflected wall and overlapping of plural waveform. In this paper to obtain more accurate and enough early reflections, we propose the brand-new five-channel sound receiving system and introduce peak-detecting algorithm. The system has microphones mounted at the origin and four points of a regular tetrahedron. The newly introduced peak-detecting algorithm can show exact peak position in each channel, in spite of deformation due to reflected walls, loudspeaker and microphone.

Gas metal arc welding(GMAW) uses a continuously fed electrode as a filler metal. The arc is shielded from atmospheric contamination by an inert gas active or inert/active gas mixture delivered through the welding gun and cable assembly. The recent research topics on $CO_2$ are welding machines are focused mainly on the reduction method of generated spatter by using new type consumable electrode metal or inverter control method. The various current waveform control methods have been researched for welding performance improvement. Until now current waveform control methods reduce to spatter occurred by instantaneous short circuiting,. but these methods is drawback that no reduce spatter occurred by arc reignition. In this paper the previous arc reignition current control method for welding performance improvement of inverter arc welding machine is studied and compared the various current control methods with the previous arc reignition current control method.

This paper presents a new adaptive single-phase auto reclosure (SPAR) algorithm to discriminate between a permanent fault and a transient fault and to minimize a protection dead time. The algorithm precisely detects the extinction of the secondary arc, based on THD's profiles on the faulted phase voltage waveform. The EMTP/ATPDraw program was used to simulate the single phase grounding fault for evaluating the proposed algorithm. And the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is performing well.
