The Mason crossed-field circuit model is generalized to simulate apodized interdigital transducers without channel division. The apodized transducer model is based on the transmission line model, and the artificial transformer with different voltage and current coupling ratios is used to independently obtain the transfer function and radiation admittance. In addition, a heuristic expression for...

This paper reports design of a new dual-band T-type impedance transformer also exhibiting DC-blocking feature. The design aims at achieving matching for frequency-dependent complex loads having distinct values at two arbitrary frequencies to Zs (here, 50Ω). A step-wise analysis on the developed dual-band impedance transformer provides simple closed-form design equations. The design is verified ...

An original electronic device for compensating ratio and phase-displacement errors, of measuring current transformers and clamp-on probes, is proposed. It is specially intended for low-frequency applications (power frequency and its harmonic components), where the magnetizing current is the main cause of measuring errors. This system reduces the magnetic flux in the transformer core, reducing i...

This paper introduces a high precise direct current (DC) negative high voltage power supply. The supply’s output voltage is 25kV and its maximal output current is 100mA. The power supply uses BOOST converter for power factor correction and voltage regulation. It converts DC to high frequency (HF) alternating current (AC) square wave with phase-shifted full bridge. The voltage of the AC square w...

The success of health monitoring and condition assessment of power transformers based on winding current signature analysis lies on proper extraction of features. The extraction of features in turn depends on appropriate signal processing methods. Fourier based signal analysis provides only frequency information and also suitable only for stationary signals. In this paper we present a combined ...

Eliminating the leakage current is one of most important issues for transformer less inverters in grid connected photovoltaic applications. The technical challenge is how to keep the common mode voltage constant to reduce the leakage current. For this purpose an improved single phase transformer less inverter is proposed. It has two additional switches connected in the dc side. The PWM pulses f...

In this paper, dual-frequency O-shaped 3-way Bagley power divider is designed and analysed. Equal split power division is achieved at arbitrary design Frequencies. In this structure, two-section transmission line transformer is used to realize the dual-frequency operation. This paper describes a new Bagley power divider on a single-layer micro strip line that can reduce the occupied area. To va...

Variable frequency transformer (VFT), introduced recently is a flexible asynchronous ac link which is used in power transferal process between asynchronous power system grids. VFT was first installed at Langlois substation, which interconnects the Hydro-Québec (Canada) and New York (USA) systems. The torque of the rotary transformer is externally altered in order to control the direction and ma...

Micromachined transformers are complex devices. Conductors, insulators and magnetic materials are manufactured on the same substrate, thus leading to transformer structures often with many manufacturing levels. We describe here a new low cost solution to make quasi-planar transformer structures. The primary and secondary coils are manufactured separately and assembled by flip-chip technology. T...

A novel voltage source full-bridge DC-AC converter with pulse width modulation technique using a step down Cycloconverter is implemented. The zero-voltage switching (ZVS) commutation for full-bridge high frequency inverter active power switches and the Cycloconverter bi-directional switches are obtained. Soft switching operation is provided in a wide range of voltage regulation without utilizin...
