Coupled inductors can effectively optimize the THD, loss, current ripple, and power density of multiphase interleaved totem-pole PFC converters. However, a coupled inductor will also worsen zero-crossing distortion process. This paper first introduces working principle converter with based on detailed analysis modes, then analyzes influence process caused by inductor. To eliminate inductor, an ...

This thesis contributes to the computer-aided design (CAD) of spiral inductors and LC resonators with spiral inductors exploiting full-wave electromagnetic (EM) analysis. The spiral inductor is widely used in radio frequency integrated circuits (RF ICs), such as low noise amplifiers (LNA) and voltage controlled oscillators (VCO). The design of spiral inductors has a direct influence on the perf...

This paper describes the operation, design, implementation and performance of RF coupled resonator filters. It starts by considering discrete parallel inductor/capacitor resonators and then moves on to discuss the implementation of this style of filter at higher frequencies using short circuit co-axial resonators in place of the inductors. Introduction Shunt mounted resonators, comprising a dis...

Parallel interleaved two-level voltage source inverters (VSIs) could be analyzed as a single multilevel VSI and hence, significance reduction in the grid side current ripple achieved. However, parallel VSIs have major issue of circulating current. The is mainly composed two frequency components: high component low component. generated due to instantaneous difference common-mode (CM) voltages VS...

This article investigates the modeling and implementation of load-independent operation for push–pull Class E topology with coupled inductors. The analytical is first presented provides a new design methodology, which distantly improves soft-switching performance, load regulation, efficiency compared conventional inductor-coupled topology.

A new high step-up converter is projected for a photovoltaic system. An asymmetrical interleaved high step-up converter achieves high step up gain through a voltage multiplier module. The voltage multiplier module is organised by a conventional boost converter and coupled inductors. A conventional boost converter is incorporated to achieve a considerably higher voltage conversion ratio. This co...

A K-band second-order bandpass filter with planar inductive p-network using CMOS technology is demonstrated for the first time. To reduce the substrate loss of the filter, the CMOS process compatible backside inductively-coupled-plasma (ICP) deep trench technology is used to selectively remove the silicon underneath the filter. After the ICP etching, a 55.5–92.2% improvement in quality factor i...

This paper discusses the design, analysis and performance of a 2.4 GHz fully integrated low-power current-reused receiver front-end implemented in 0.18 μm CMOS technology. The front-end is composed of a single-to-differential low-noise amplifier (LNA), using high-Q differential transformers and inductors and a coupled switching mixer stage. The mixer transconductor and LNA share the same DC cur...
