In this study, discrete-time domain analysis is proposed to investigate the input current of a buck AC/DC light-emitting diode (LED) driver. The buck power factor correction converter can operate in both discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and continuous conduction mode (CCM). Two discontinuous and two continuous conduction operating modes are possible depending on which event terminates the conduction of the main switch in a switching cycle. All four operating modes are considered in the discrete-time domain analysis. The peak current-mode control with slope compensation is used to design a low-cost AC/DC LED driver. A slope compensation design of the buck AC/DC LED driver is described on the basis of a discrete-time domain analysis. Experimental results are presented to confirm the usefulness of the proposed analysis.

In this paper, digital peak current mode control for single phase H-bridge inverters is developed and implemented. The digital peak current mode control is achieved by directly controlling the PWM signals by cycle-by-cycle current limitation. Unlike the DC-DC converter where the output voltage always remains in the positive region, the output of DC-AC inverter flips from positive to negative region continuously. Therefore, when the inverter operates in negative region, the control should be changed to valley current mode control. Thus, a novel control logic circuit is required for the function and need to be analyzed for the hardware to track the sinusoidal reference in both regions. The problem of sub-harmonic instability which is inherent with peak current mode control is also addressed, and then proposes the digital slope compensation in constant-sloped external ramp to suppress the oscillation. For unipolar PWM switching method, an adaptive slope compensation in digital manner is also proposed. In this paper, the operating principles and design guidelines of the proposed scheme are presented, along with the performance analysis and numerical simulation. Also, a 200W inverter hardware prototype has been implemented for experimental verification of the proposed controller scheme.

Selection of the optimal inductance for power factor improvement of a buck AC/DC light-emitting diode (LED) driver with wide input voltage range is described in this study. The power factor change based on the slope compensation is obtained for various normalized output current (NOC) values using discrete-time domain analysis. The possibility of implementing constant slope compensation is described using power factor curves for various NOC values. NOC = 0.5 is chosen for the value of inductance with consideration for the simple implementation and reduction of inductor size. Experimental results of the inductance corresponding to NOC = 0.5 are presented.

The optimal residual dispersion per span (RDPS) slope is induced through the analyses of the compensation characteristics of the wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) channels depending on RDPS slope in the optical links with a dispersion management (DM) and an optical phase conjugation. The simulation results show that the effective launch power of WDM is more increased and the performance difference between the channels is more decreased as RDPS slope is more increased. The simulation results also show that the effective net residual dispersion (NRD) range is more increased as RDPS slope is more increased, and consequently, it is more advantageous to use the large RDPS slope for implementing the flexible optical links.

Since well-calibrated satellite data is critical for their applications, calibration and validation of COMS science data was one of the key activities during the IOT. COMS MI radiometric calibration process was divided into two phases according to the out-gassing of the sensor: calibrations of the visible (VI) and infrared (IR) channels. Different from the VIS calibration, the calibration steps for the IR channels followed additional processes to secure their radiometric performances. Primary calibration steps of the IR were scan mirror emissivity correction, midnight effect compensation, slope averaging and 1/f noise compensation after a nominal calibration. First, the scan mirror emissivity correction was conducted to compensate the variability of the scan mirror emissivity driven by the coating material on the scan mirror. Second, the midnight effect correction was performed to remove unreasonable high spikes of the slope values caused by the excessive radiative sources during the local midnight. After these steps, the residual (difference between the previous slope and the given slope) was filtered by a smoothing routine to eliminate the remnant random noises. The 1/f noise compensation was also carried out to filter out the lower frequency noises caused from the electronics in the Imager. With through calibration processes during the entire IOT period, the calibrated IR data showed excellent performances.

In this paper, a new error compensating technique for form-error compensation of rough-surface profile obtained by contact stylus profilometer is proposed. By the method, the real contact points of rough-surface and diamond stylus can be estimated and the measured profile data corrected. To verify the compensation effect, the properties(Ra, RMS, Kurtosis, Skewness) of measured profile data and compensated data were compared. And, the cumulative RMS slope was proposed to assess the compensated effect of upper area of profile. The results show that the measuring error could be compensated very well in amplitude parameters and in proposed cumulative RMS slope by the developed form-error compensating technique.

A wide-bandwidth current controller is required for fast charging/discharging of super capacitor applications. Peak current mode is generally used to accomplish fast charging/discharging because this mode has fast response characteristics. However, the peak current mode control must have a slope compensation function to restrain sub-harmonics oscillation. The slope must be changed accordingly if the controlled output voltage is varied. However, changing the slope for every changed output voltage is not easy. The other solution, selecting the slope as the maximum value, causes a slow response problem to occur. Therefore, we propose a hybrid mode controller that uses a peak current and a newly specified valley current. Through the proposed hybrid mode control, the sub-harmonic oscillation does not occur when the duty is larger than 0.5 because of the fast response.

Phase-shift fullbridge (PSFB) converter detects the current in the primary side for operation of the peak current mode controller (PCMC). The PCMC must used the slope compensation to solve the problem when the effective duty is over 0.5. The voltage response of PSFB converters has slower than that of buck converter because of slew interval even if the voltage controllers of two converters have same bandwidth. To overcome these problems, this work proposes a compensating method of current reference considering slew interval and fast response in the PSFB converter. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proven using the PSIM simulation and experiment.

We demonstrated numerically that both the chromatic dispersion and the dispersion slope could be compensated by using purely phase-sampled superstructure fiber Bragg gratings provided with chirp of coupling coefficient along the wavelength axis. Also, we propose a purely phase-sampled Bragg grating for dispersion and dispersion slope compensation by introducing a chirp in coupling coefficient and sampling function. The bandwidth of all reflected channels can be equalized.
