Mains impedance is a critical parameter to consider when diagnosing load generated power quality problems. High impedance can contribute to voltage sags, low voltage conditions, high frequency noise, transient impulses, and harmonic voltages. These problems can be created by the critical load, or by other loads powered from the same electrical source. This paper presents the concept of mains im...

The power supply systems, which require low-voltage / high-current output has been changing from the conventional centralized power system to a distributed power system. The distributed power system consists of a bus converter and POL. The most important factor is the system stability in bus architecture design. The overlap between the output impedance of a bus converter input impedance of POL ...

In this paper a novel ultra-high compliance, low power, very accurate and high output impedance current mirror/source is proposed. Deliberately composed elements and a good combination (for a mutual auto control action) of negative and positive feedbacks in the proposed circuit made it unique in gathering ultra-high compliances, high output impedance and high accuracy ever demanded merits. The ...

In this paper, a new principle for an adaptive line driver using Fuzzy logic is presented. This type of line driver can adapt its output impedance and gain, automatically to the applied load using a fuzzy logic controller (FLC). This results in automatically corrected output impedance for different cables with terminations. Also, the line driver output impedance and gain become insensitive to p...

Current conveyors are unity gain active elements exhibiting high linearity, wide dynamic range and high frequency performance than their voltage mode counterparts. The new current conveyor operating at low-voltage supplies high input impedance and low output impedance and consumes less power. In this study, a new low-voltage class AB second generation current conveyor (AB CCII) is presented whi...

Multi-frequency electrical impedance tomography (EIT) systems require stable voltage controlled current generators that will work over a wide frequency range and with a large variation in load impedance. In this paper we compare the performance of two commonly used designs: the first is a modified Howland circuit whilst the second is based on a current mirror. The output current and the output ...

In this paper a novel high performance all current-mode fully-differential (FD) Current mode Operational Amplifier (COA) in BIPOLAR technology is presented. The unique true current mode simple structure grants the proposed COA the largest yet reported unity gain frequency while providing low voltage low power operation. Benefiting from some novel ideas, it also exhibits high gain, high common m...

For high quality factor magnetically coupled resonator wireless power systems, constant wireless power transfer efficiency can be achieved over a greater range and higher efficiency than an inductively coupled system. However, as the distance varies between two near-field resonators, the input and output impedances to the resonators change. Therefore, in order to achieve constant efficiency, th...
