This paper describes a reactive power compensator using current-source delta modulation converter, which compensates the reactive power in the ac sides of 3-phase rectifier. In the conventional current control methods for the current-type reactive power compensators, it is usual to compare the reactive reference current signal with the triangular wave and hence to generate the ON-OFF signals for the reactive power compensator. To improve the response as well as the control capability, the delta modulated current control technique is used in this paper. As a result, the input power factor is improved close to unity and both simulation and experimental results show good compensating performances.

기존의 Multiple-Subcarrier변조 방식에 4-차원(4-D)신호를 이용한 Optical Wireless통신 방식을 제안하였다. 4-D 신호는 신호파형 최적화 기술 (OSW, Optimization Technique of Signal Waveforms)을 이용하여 유도하고 Multiple-Subcarricr의 block coder에 적용함으로써 출력 신호점 간의 Euclidean distance를 최대화하였다. 그 결과 고정 dc 바이어스를 부가한 상태에서 시스템에서 요구되는 Normalized power를 QPSK에 비해 3 dB, Reserved Subcarrier 나 Minimum Power에 비해 최대 3.3 dB 를 각각 절감하였고 normalized bandwidth 1.125 ∼ 1.25의 범위에서 QPSK에 비해 평균 3 dB, Res. Subcarrier 방식에 비해 2 ∼ 4 dB, Min. Power 방식에 비해 0 ∼ 3 dB를 각각 절감하였다.

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.

This study proposes a novel five-level three-phase hybrid-clamped converter composed of only six switches and one flying capacitor (FC) per phase. The capacitor-voltage-drift phenomenon of the converter under the classical sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) strategy is comprehensively analyzed. The average current, which flows into the FC, is a function of power factor and modulation index and does not remain at zero. Thus, a specific modulation strategy based on space vector modulation (SVM) is developed to balance the voltage of DC-link and FCs by injecting a common-mode voltage. This strategy applies the five-segment method to synthesize the voltage vector, such that switching losses are reduced while optional vector sequences are increased. The best vector sequence is then selected on the basis of the minimized cost function to suppress the divergence of the capacitor voltage. This study further proposes a startup method that charges the DC-link and FCs without any additional circuits. Simulation and experimental results verify the validity of the proposed converter, modulation strategy, and precharge method.

Large magnitude common-mode voltage (CMV) and its variation dv/dt have an adverse effect on motor drives that leads to early winding failure and bearing deterioration. For matrix converters, the switch states that connect each output line to a different input phase result in the lowest CMV among all of the valid switch states. To reduce the output CMV for matrix converters, this paper presents a new space vector modulation (SVM) strategy by utilizing these switch states. By this mean, the peak value and the root mean square of the CMV are dramatically decreased. In comparison with the conventional SVM methods this strategy has a similar computation overhead. Experiment results are shown to validate the effectiveness of the proposed modulation method.

본 논문은 저전력 통신을 위하여, 압축 센싱에 적용한 QAPM 변조 방식을 제안한다. QAPM 변조 방식은 QAM 변조 방식과 PPM 변조 방식을 결합한 방식으로써, 자리(PPM의 posion) 개수가 늘어날수록 심볼 간의 거리가 멀어져 BER 성능과 전력 효율을 향상시킨다. 또한, 자리개수를 늘릴수록 대역이 손실 발생될 수 있으나, 성김(sparsity) 특성은 증가된다. 이러한 높은 성김 특성은 Nyquist 속도 이하의 샘플링으로도 완전하게 신호를 복원할 수 있는 압축 센싱에 적용하기에 매우 적합하다. 따라서 본 논문은 압축 센싱에 적용된 QAPM 시스템이 수신기에 있는 ADC(Analog Digital Converter)의 부담을 줄이면서도 BER 성능을 향상시키는 저전력 시스템임을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.

A matrix converter is used for converting AC/AC power directly. In order to generate sinusoidal input/output waveform in matrix converter, it uses nine bidirectional switches and PWM modulation. This paper presents an analytical averaged loss model of matrix converter with DDPWM(direct duty ratio PWM) and proposes a new switching method for reducing switching losses. A Mathematical loss models with average magnitude of voltage/current are classed as conduction and switching loss. The proposed switching pattern is improved with existing DDPWM. To prove improved efficiency with proposed DDPWM, this paper compares losses between suggested switching pattern and conventional switching pattern using mathematical and simulation method. Each loss types are influenced by environmental factors such as temperature, switching frequency, output current and modulation method.

A flyback converter operates with either pulse width modulation (PWM) or pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control scheme depending on the load current. At light load condition, PFM control is employed to reduce the switching frequency and thereby minimize the switching power loss. For heavier load, PWM control is used to regulate the output voltage of the flyback converter. The flyback controller has been implemented in a $0.35{\mu}m$ BCDMOS process and applied to a 40-W flyback converter. The light-load power efficiency of the flyback converter is improved up to 5.7-% comparing with the one operating with a fixed switching frequency.

This paper presents an optimized space vector pulse-width modulation (OSVPWM) technique for a five-level cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverter. The space vector diagram of the five-level CHB inverter is optimized by resolving it into inner and outer two-level space vector hexagons. Unlike conventional space vector topology, the proposed technique significantly reduces the involved computational time and efforts without compromising the performance of the five-level CHB inverter. A further optimized (FOSVPWM) technique is also presented in this paper, which significantly reduces the complexity and computational efforts. The developed techniques are verified through MATLAB/SIMULINK. Results are compared with sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) to prove the validity of the proposed technique. The proposed simulation system is realized by using an XC3S400 field-programmable gate array from Xilinx, Inc. The experiment results are then presented for verification.
