We propose and demonstrate a new scheme for suppression of output distortion in an open-loop gyroscope employing an erbium-doped fiber amplifier/source (FAS). In addition to the main modulation for the rotation rate measurement, a small auxiliary modulation at a different frequency is used to extract an error signal, which is necessary for keeping the quasi-dc component of the feedback signal power at a constant level for varying rotation rate. By active tracking of the optimum modulation condition using this two-frequency modulation scheme, we obtain stable gyro output with suppressed distortion as well as stable FAS characteristics. We also calculate the distortion in the gyro response due to the feedback effect, from which we estimate the FAS gyro output distortion due to the residual ac feedback effect when the dc feedback effect is removed by the proposed scheme. The measured residual deviation agrees reasonably with the estimation.

A quasi-constant on-time controlled buck front end in combined discontinuous conduction mode and boundary conduction mode is proposed to improve power factor (PF).When instantaneous AC input voltage is lower than the output bus voltage per period, the buck converter turns into buck-boost converter with the addition of a level comparator to compare input voltage and output voltage. The gate drive voltage is provided by an additional oscillator during distortion time to eliminate the cross-over distortion of the input current. This high PF comes from the avoidance of the input current distortion, thereby enabling energy to be delivered constantly. This paper presents a series analysis of controlling techniques and efficiency, PF, and total harmonic distortion. A comparison in terms of efficiency and PF between the proposed converter and a previous work is performed. The specifications of the converter include the following: input AC voltage is from 90V to 264V, output DC voltage is 80V, and output power is 94W.This converter can achieve PF of 98.74% and efficiency of 97.21% in 220V AC input voltage process.

This study presents a method for reducing current distortion that occurs when a dual-buck inverter generates reactive power. Dual-buck inverters, which are only capable of unity power factor operation, can generate reactive power capabilities by modifying a modulation technique. However, under non-unity power factor conditions, current distortion occurs at zero-crossing points of grid voltage and output current. This distortion is caused by parasitic capacitors, dead-time, and discontinuous conduction mode operation. This study proposes a modified modulation method to alleviate the current distortion at zero-crossing point of the grid voltage. A repetitive controller is applied to reduce this distortion of the output current. A 1 kVA prototype is built and tested. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper proposes and describes the design and operational principles of a three-phase three-level nine switch voltage source inverter. The proposed topology consists of three bi-directional switches inserted between the source and the full-bridge power switches of the classical three-phase inverter. As a result, a three-level output voltage waveform and a significant suppression of load harmonics contents are obtained at the inverter output. The harmonics content of the proposed multilevel inverter can be reduced by half compared with two-level inverters. A Fourier analysis of the output waveform is performed and the design is optimized to obtain the minimum total harmonic distortion. The full-bridge power switches of the classical three-phase inverter operate at the line frequency of 50Hz, while the auxiliary circuit switches operate at twice the line frequency. To validate the proposed topology, both simulation and analysis have been performed. In addition, a prototype has been designed, implemented and tested. Selected simulation and experimental results have been provided.

A new control technique is proposed to reduce the distortion of UPS output voltage. The Load of UPS is rectifier which has many harmonics on its output current in many cases. The distortion of output voltage by the harmonics is repeated at the same position in one cycle. Therefore we can assume that the next cycle wave form would be similar to the previous one. The repeated error can be estimated and be compensated by the Multi controller at every sampling times.

본 논문은 전동차량용 전원장치의 출력전압 제어 안정성을 향상시키기 위한 연구이다. 입력전압 변동 및 부하 변동 등 과도상태시 출력 정전압 제어를 수행할 경우, L-C 필터부에서 공진이 발생함으로써 출력전압이 흔들리고 시스템이 불안해진다. 본 논문에서, 출력전압제어의 안정성을 확보하기 위해 주필터부에 공진을 억제하는 댐핑회로를 새롭게 제안하고, 이에 적합한 제어방법을 소개한다. 제안한 댐핑회로는 R-L로서 소형이고 간단히 구성된다. 제어기에는 과도상태분의 궤환제어와 대역저지필터를 적용한다. 또한 전력회로는 3레벨 PWM방식을 적용하였다. 이로서 과도상태에서 출력전압의 흔들림없이 변동폭을 10[%]이하로 제어할 수 있었으며, 정상상태의 출력 전압 왜형율도 3[%]이하로 감소시켰다.

본 논문에서는 통신 채널에서 발생되는 찌그러짐과 잡음의 영향을 최소화하기 위하여 사용되는 S-MMA 적응 등화 알고리즘에서 Slice 가중치에 따른 성능을 비교하였다. 기존의 MMA 알고리즘에서는 등화기의 출력 신호와 송신 신호의 dispersion 상수만을 이용하지만, S-MMA에서는 등화기 출력 신호와 dispersion 상수외에 결정 장치의 출력 신호를 slice 상수만큼 고려하여 채널의 진폭과 위상 찌그러짐을 동시에 보상할 수 있다. 이때 slice 가중치가 적응 등화 알고리즘의 성능에 미치는 영향을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하며, 성능 지수로는 등화기 출력 신호 성상도, 수렴 특성을 나타내는 잔류 isi, 최대 찌그러짐, MSE와 채널의 신호대 잡음비에 따른 SER을 사용하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 slice 가중치가 적으면 잔류isi, 최대 찌그러짐과 MSE 성능이 우월하며, 가중치가 큰 경우 SER 성능이 우월함을 확인하였다.

Unlike existing pulse-width modulation (PWM) techniques, such as sinusoidal PWM and random PWM, the wavelet PWM (WPWM) technique based on a Harr wavelet function can achieve a high fundamental component for the output voltage, low total harmonic distortion, and simple digital implementation. However, the original WPWM method lacks output voltage control. Thus, the practical application of the WPWM technique is limited. This study proposes an improved WPWM technique that can regulate output voltage amplitude with the addition of a parameter. The relationship between the additional parameter and the output voltage amplitude is analyzed in detail. Experimental results verify that the improved WPWM exhibits output voltage control in addition to all the merits of the WPWM technique.

A distortion suppression technology for employing multiple inputs in 3n+1 type current mode Max circuit is proposed using the adjustment of transconductance. If the number of inputs in current mode Max circuit increases, the high frequency distortion in the output signal grows. In this paper, it has been disclosed that the distortion in the multiple input Max circuit is proportional to sum of parasitic capacitance in input terminals, to the derivative of the output signal and also to the inverse of transconductance of the common diode-connected transistor. The proposed idea is by employing as larger transconductance of the common diode-connected transistor as possible. The effectiveness of the proposed idea has been proved through the HSPICE simulation.

To reduce the laser pulse shape distortion accompanying the amplification process and achieve an intended output pulse shape in the Nd:YAG amplifier chain, we propose a frequency-modulated pulse-amplification method. Assuming carrier-frequency-modulated seed pulses, we numerically simulate the pulse amplification in an Nd:YAG amplifier chain where severe distortion occurs. For the calculation, we develop a modified Frantz-Nodvik equation, which enables two inputs with different carrier frequencies. The simulation results indicate that the temporal contrast of the seed pulse needed to obtain a flat output pulse shape is reduced by 16 - 25 dB when frequency modulation is applied.
