The stability and numerical error of the extended fourstages split-step finite-difference time-domain (SS4-FDTD) method including lumped inductors are systematically studied. In particular, three different formulations for the lumped inductor are analyzed: the explicit, the semi-implicit, and the implicit schemes. Then, the numerical stability of the extended SS4-FDTD method is analyzed by usin...

The size of the LCL filter can be decreased significantly using higher switching frequencies enabled by next generation semiconductors. This paper studies the effects of the switching frequency of a grid converter on the LCL filter design. The goal in the design is to minimize the stored energy of the magnetic components. The core material of the converter-side inductor is selected based on the...

This study proposes a method which consists of High step up DC-DC converter with a coupled inductor for distributed generation system. Theoretically the conventional boost converter provides high step up voltage gain but in practical it is limited by reverse recovery problem of diode, effective series impedance of inductors and capacitors and switching losses. High charged current and conductio...

A new radio frequency (rf) linear accelerator (LINAC) system with high efficiency has been developed by AIBT. The general designs of such a rf LINAC system are briefly discussed. This system includes a plurality of resonators each including an inductor circuit that is connected to at least two rf electrodes. Detailed designs of a system where two of the adjacent rf electrodes are connected to t...

In this review article, a stage-convertible RF power amplifier designed with a 0.18-m RF CMOS process is described. A method to implement a low-power matching network is an essential technology for the stage-convertible power amplifier. Various low-power matching networks with distributed active transformers as an output power combiner are compared in terms of the amounts of undesired coupling...

When the series resistance is separated and treated as a separate element, it is shown that losses in an inductor require the ratio of the flux to mmf in the core to be frequency dependent. For small-signal operation, this dependence leads to a circuit model composed of a lossless inductor and a resistor in parallel, both of which are frequency dependent. Mathematical expressions for these elem...

This letter presents a novel topology for a buck dc– dc converter with soft-switching capability, which operates under a zero-current-switching condition at turn on and a zero-voltage switching condition at turn off. In order to realize soft switching, based on a basic buck converter, the proposed converter added a small inductor, a diode, and an inductor coupled with the main inductor. Because...

Asymmetric induction in photochemical reactions has been explored using the photochemistry of tropolones as a model. Three approaches have been examined: chiral inductor, chiral auxiliary and [chiral inductor + chiral auxiliary]. All three methods gave excellent asymmetric induction in zeolite and very little or zero induction in solution. Results presented on tropolones clearly illustrate the ...

Inductors represent a very complex behavior especially in the field of RF techniques. Some manufacturers offer SPICE models for their inductors built up by lumped elements. The lumped element values are determined by matching the simulation model to an average of the measurements. This leads to curious numbers, and if the model is used in a simulation tool, all these values have to be adjusted ...

We report on the GHz complex admittance of a chiral one-dimensional ballistic conductor formed by edge states in the quantum Hall regime. The circuit consists of a wide Hall bar (the inductor L) in series with a tunable resistor (R) formed by a quantum point contact. Electron interactions between edges are screened by a pair of side gates. Conductance steps are observed on both real and imagina...
