This paper suggests the circuit topology to transfer AC power using a detachable transformer The circuit topology for AC output load through the magnetic coupling and its principle of operation are described. It can decrease the size of detachable transformer by employing the high-frequency magnetic coupling. It is shown in this paper that the efficiency of noncontact energy transfer system can be improved by applying both the full bridge converter with PFC function to the 1st side of its and the series resonance to the 2nd side to minimize the effect of the leakage inductance.

In this paper, a novel type of auxiliary switched capacitor assisted edge resonant soft switching PWM resonant DC-DC converter with two simple auxiliary commutation lossless inductor snubbers is presented. The operation principle of this converter is described using the switching mode equivalent circuits. This newly developed multi resonant DC-DC converter can regulate its DC output AC power under a principle of constant frequency edge-resonant soft switching commutation by an asymmetrical PWM duty cycle control scheme. The high frequency power regulation and actual power characteristics of the proposed soft switching PWM resonant DC-DC converter are evaluated and discussed. The operating performances of the newly proposed soft switching inverter are represented based on simulation results from an applications point of view.

One of the consistent nuisances in accurate design of circuits containing coils with core is how to take into account the frequency dependence of Q of actual coils. The conventional equivalent circuit consisting of an inductance and a series (constant) resistance and possibly a parallel (constant) capacitance is of little use in this situation since the core loss itself is strongly dependent on the frequency. In order to circumvent this difficulty, in this paper, a mathematical expression for Q of a given core as a function of inductance and frequency is first assumed and parameters in this expression are optimiged so as to best fit the data provided by the core manufacturer or obtained experimentally. This expression is then utilized in accurate calculation of the frequency response of a given circuit required in the optimal design of circuits containing coils. In other words the proposed approach is an effective combination of an approximate expression of coil's Q and circuit optimisation technique, which seems to have solved, to a great extent, the stated difficulty associated with actual coils. As for the optimization technique, ths Fletcher-Powell procedure was employed and one example was given to illustrate the proposed approach.

In this paper, a new type of predistortion linearizer has been studied. It employs a series feedback amplifier with a large source inductance as a predistortion linearizer, which provides positive amplitude and negative phase deviations for input Power and can compensate for AM-AM and AM-PM distortions of power amplifier. This predistortion lineariaer consists of only one CaAs FET, large source inductor, input output matching networks and bias circuits. Because of its simple circuit, the linear can be operated over a broad bandwidth and has good thermal stability The characteristics of this linearizer can be easily tuned using source inductor, its gate bias condition. In fabricated linearizer, the third-order intermodulation distortion(IMD) for main amplifier alone is 10.61dBc, and the $IM_3$ for main amplifier with predistorter is 21.91dBc. Therefore, the $IM_3$ characteristic results an improvement of approximately 11dB.

In this paper, the method of designing an active inductor for MMIC is proposed. The proposed tunable active inductor is composed of a cascade FET with feedback capacitors and resistors. Because of a very low series resistance in the proposed inductor, a very high Q factor can be obtained. Also it has an excellent characteristics suitable for high frequency band. The inductance value can be changed by controlling feedback capacitors, resistors and a bias voltage respectively. When the feedback resistor and parallel resistor within circuits are varied, the inductance value is changed from 0.2 nH to 1.7 nH in the range 1 to 15 GHz. Also we designed bandpass filter using the proposed active inductor and it shows the insertion loss of 0.4 dB and return loss, 20 dB.

In this paper, an equally spaced $3{\times}2$ microstrip patch array antenna based on the fundamental infinite wavelength supported by the composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission line (TL) is proposed. The proposed CRLH TL unit cell consists of an inter-digit capacitor to realize left-handed (LH) series capacitance and non-symmetric shunt meander line with a shorted via to realize LH shunt inductance. At the infinite wavelength frequency of 2.09 GHz a 6-port series power divider consisting of a 19 unit cells shows a maximum magnitude difference of 0.73 dB and a $0.52^{\circ}$ maximum phase difference between output ports. The measured resonant frequency and maximum gain of the fabricated array antenna is 2.09 GHz and 10.98 dBi, respectively.

Two types of small wideband antennas are proposed for UWB application. One type is small biconical structure fed by coaxial probe, which is easy to be installed on the circuit board. The other type is of planar bow-tie type fed by coplanar transmission line. Generally, the bandwidth of the latter type is significantly narrower than that of the former type. It is shown, however that the bandwidth of the latter type can be made to be comparable to that of the former, if some series inductive component is introduced in the center conductor line in the CPW transmission line by replacing some part of center line with narrower line of higher characteristic impedance. The series inductance component play an important role of neutralizing the capacitive component of the small bow-tie antenna, thereby making broadband impedance matching possible. The small planar bow-tie antenna was fabricated and experimented. The experimental results for return loss are observed to be in good agreement with simulated results. The radiation pattern is also investigated experimentally.

This paper proposes a power divider based on meta-material structure with dual-band operation. The meta-material structures of left-hand characteristic are constituted of series capacitors and shunt inductors, but they have parasitic series inductance and shunt capacitance effects. There is represented the composite right/ left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) model. When the power divider is implemented by using the CRLH-TL, the power divider can operate dual band. To verify the power divider with dual band, we are implemented to operate dual-band that is 0.88 GHz and 1.67 GHz. The characteristics of divider have the return loss less than each 21.0 dB and 15.8 dB and the insertion loss better than 3.83 dB and 3.64 dB at each frequency. Also, the output phase difference is $3{\sim}6^{\circ}$.

In this paper, a small mu-zero zeroth order resonance(ZOR) antenna based on meta structure is proposed using parasitic patch at 5.8 GHz. The mu-zero ZOR antenna is designed by utilizing the resonance of series inductance and capacitance of mu-negative transmission line and its size can be further reduced by a simple parasitic patch. The parasitic patch can increase series capacitance of mu-negative transmission line related to a resonant frequency. We have simulated and optimized dimension of the parasitic patch using Ansys commercial simulator(HFSS). As a result, the antenna has the following characteristics: kr of 0.59, efficiency of 92 %, and gain of 6.57 dBi. Also, its size is reduced by 24 % compared to a conventional mu-zero ZOR antenna. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulated results.

The BLDC(Brushless DC) Motor is characterized by linear torque to current and speed to voltage. It has low acoustic noise and fast dynamic response. Moreover, it has high power density with high proportion of torque to inertia in spite of small size drive. However, when armature current is commutated, the current ripple is generated by the motor inductance components in stator windings and back-EMF. This current ripple caused to torque ripple. Therefore, it is difficult to apply the BLDC motor to a precision servo drive system. In this paper, a new current control algorithm using fourier series coefficients is proposed. This proposed algorithm can minimize torque ripple due to the phase current commutation of BLDC motor. Simulation and Experimental results prove the effectiveness at the Proposed algorithm through comparison with the conventional unipolar PWM method.
