The output capacitance of power semiconductor devices is important in determining the switching losses and in the operation of some resonant converter topologies. Thus, it is important to be able to accurately determine the output capacitance of a particular device operating at elevated power levels so that the contribution of the output capacitance discharge to switch-on losses can be determined under these conditions. Power semiconductor switch manufacturers usually measure device output capacitance using small-signal methods that may be insufficient for power switching applications. This paper shows how first principle methods are applied in a novel way to obtain more relevant large signal output capacitances of Gallium-Nitride (GaN) FETs using the drain-source voltage transient during device switch-off numerically. A non-linear capacitance for an increase in voltage is determined with good correlation. Simulations are verified using experimental results from two different devices. It is shown that the large signal output capacitance as a function of the drain-source voltage is higher than the small signal values published in the data sheets for each of the devices. It can also be seen that the loss contribution of the output capacitance discharging in the channel during switch-on correlates well with other methods proposed in the literature, which confirms that the proposed method has merit.

본 논문은 부 반송파를 사용하는 이동 가능한 다목적실용위성 소형 관제국의 하향 링크 채널 설계 내용을 기술한다. 먼저 전송 신호 방식을 해석한 후 이 해석 결과를 단계별로 적용하는 방법으로 하향 링크 채널을 설계하였다. 하향 링크 전송 신호인 실시간(real-time) 2 kbps 위성 상태 측정 데이터의 수신 임계 신호 대 잡음비와 위성 거리 측정 요구 성능을 만족하는 신호 대 잡음비 해석 결과를 적용하여 6.5 dB/K의 G/T를 갖는 소형 관제국의 하향 링크 채널을 설계하였다. 설계에 따라 구현된 소형 관제국의 G/T는 태양을 이용한 측정 결과, 6.62 dB/K가 됨을 확인하였다. 또한, 위성과의 연동 시험을 통해, 부 반송파를 사용하는 위성 상태 데이터 요구 수신성능을 만족하여 다목적실용위성 관제국의 하향 링크 채널로 적합하게 평가되었다.

This paper describes a parameter extraction method for HBT(Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor) equivalent circuit model without measurements of special test structures or numerical optimizations. Instead, all equivalent circuit parameters are calculated analytically from small-signal S-parameters measured under different bias conditions. These values being extracted from the cutoff mode can be used to extract intrinsic parameters at the active mode. This method yields a deviation of about 1.3 % between the measured and modeled S-parameters.

A Full-bridge zero-voltage zero-current switching (ZVZCS) converter using transformer auxiliary winding is analyzed. A complete small-signal model for the control scheme is developed. The propoed model is accurate up to half the switching frequency. The dynamic characteristics are compared with those of the zero-voltage switching converter and buck converter. Model predictions are confirmed by experimental measurements.

A gain controllable precision full-wave rectifier for the measurements of small-signal voltage is presented. It consists of gain controllable inverter superdiode and noninverter superdiode. The results of simulation with PSpice and experiment on breadboard show that the proposed rectifier has the characteristic of precise rectification and amplification for small signal voltage.

A small-signal low-frequency disturbance of the input line affects the regulated-output voltage of the series resonant converter. To mitigate the detrimental effect, the output feedback PI-controller is employed. Small-signal linear models are represented to characterize the closed loop series resonant converter system. Design equations for the PI-controller which satisfy stability and percent ripple conditions are derived from the closed-loop linear model. Experimental results are presented which show excellent correlation with theory.

A novel extraction method of high frequency small-signal model parameters for MOSFETS is proposed. From S-parameter measurement, this technique accurately extracts the model parameters including the charge conservation capacitance parameters. To consider charge conservation, nonreciprocal capacitance is considered. The modeled parameters fit the measurements very well without any optimization.
