The high operation frequency mainly reduces transformer volume in the power supply. A high frequency and high voltage pulse transformer is designed, fabricated, and tested. Switching frequency of the transformer is 100 kHz. Input and output voltages of the transformer are 250 V and 4 kV, respectively. Normal operation power of the transformer is 3 kW. Maximum volume of the transformer is 400 $cm^3$. The power density is thus 7.5 W/$cm^3$. The transformer will be installed in a metal box that has nominal operation temperature of 85 degree centigrade. The transformer and other high voltage components in the box will be molded with Silicon RTV(Room Temperature Vulcaniza) that has a very low thermal conductivity. Procedure of design and test results are discussed. Analytical as well as experimental results of varous paramters such as transformer loss, leakage inductance, distributed capacitance are also discussed. In addition, thermal analysis results from ANSYS code for three different operation conditions are discussed.

In this paper the formation mechanism of tail current is analyzed and its effect on GTO turn-off performance is given. The conclusion is that the large tail current will considerably increase the turn-off loss $E_{off}$ and cause the re-triggering during GTO's off-switching, therefore the best design criterion is that the tail current of power GTO must be as low as possible.w as possible.

An emergency diesel generator system is an independent source of power that supports important electrical systems on loss of normal power supply. AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator) is a regulator which regulates the output voltage at a nominal constant voltage level. Specially, a power supply for the AVR must be operated at the very wide input range. In this paper, a flyback power supply with very wide input voltage range is proposed.

High-power communication jammer has to include the switched filter bank to eliminate the harmonic signals generated by amplifier. Generally, the switched filter bank consists of in-out switches and several filters. This paper describes the design of high-power switched filter bank, particularly the high-power filter bank operating over 20$\sim$110MHz frequency range. The filters designed have insertion loss less than 0.3dB, VSWR less than 1.25:1, and harmonic suppression more than 35dB. Also, the switched filter bank can endure upto 2kW high-power signal with very low harmonic level within $30{\mu}s$ switching speed.

This paper proposes a new three-phase diode rectifier system with a sinusoidal input current at unity power factor and a regulated and isolated output voltage at low level. The inherent natural wave-shaping capability of the reduced kVA polyphase transformer together with an active current wave-shaping technique results in a significant reduction of input and output filter requirements associated with switching ripple and EMI. The operation principles are described along with a design example and a comparative evaluation. Experimental results on a 1.5kW prototype are provided to validate the proposed concept.

Recently, LED (Light Emitting Diode) becomes to be useful to apply for the lightening sources in electric systems and the lightening equipment since the power is less consumed with high efficiency, and the size and the weight of LED are small and light, respectively. The LED is controlled with constant current and SMPS (Switching Mode Power Supply). It is necessary for the LED manufacturer to secure the fundamental technology of designing LED chip, and to study the methodology to improve the power factor (PF) and to design the operational circuit for the development of LED to reduce the power loss in the application of LED lightening. The direct AC (Alternating Current) LED driving circuit, HV9910, is widely used in the industry field. In this paper, it is to evaluate the improved methodology for the power factor and efficiency through simulations when PFC (Power Factor Correction) and Noise Filter are added to HV9910.

This paper presents the loss analysis of Phase-Shift Full-Bridge Converter. Full-Bridge DC/DC Converter presented in this paper used a phase shift control in the primary side to achieve ZVS (Zero-Voltage-Switching) for main switch. Phase-Shaft Full-Bridge converter have an effect on the high power system. This paper analyses the loss of each component and the various losses in the circuit assessed. The result of the analysis are verified using 2.5kW, 50kHz prototype.

This paper designs the high-efficiency and the low-cost drive system of the smallsize electric vehicles (EVs). The power circuit for driving the dc motor is designed by considering both the cost and efficiency. In order to reduce the conduction loss of MOTFET and diode for controlling an armature voltage, some MOSFETs and diodes at the armature are in parallel connection. An operating sequence for both the field current and the armature voltage according to the accelerator pedal angle is suggested for changing smoothly the rotating direction of dc motor. Through the simulation studies, the performances of the proposed methods are verified.

A handover for DVB-H(Digital Video Broadcasting for Handheld) is the action of switching a receiver from receiving one signal to receiving another, when moving between the border of their coverage areas. This paper proposes new approaches for improving loss-free handover performance in the DVB-H networks. The proposed handover schemes are targeted to two different DVB-H receivers: One is for the receivers equipped with GPS devices. The other is for ones without GPS support. The first handover approach modifies the cell description table(CDT) proposed in the literature[1]. The second proposes a novel handover region estimation technique based on a new handover map table(HMT). This new handover approach estimates a predefined hand over region described in the HMT using measured RSSIs signal patterns. The estimation success rate is simulated and the benefits of the proposed method are discussed considering time and power consumption.

A new Soft Recovery Quasi-Resonant Converter (SR QRC) haying multiple order folding snubber network is proposed. It is combined with normal quasi-resonant converter with folding snubber network of which the surrounding components are composed of diodes and capacitors. The reverse recovery loss of main rectifier diode is eliminated by this method utilizing multiple resonance. The proposed converter has PWM capability with high efficiency and is suitable for high voltage and high power applications. By extension of this concept to other switching converters, a new family of SR PW QRC may be developed.
