This paper presents the comparative analysis of improved quality three phase AC/DC boost converters, using SIMULINK. Comparison of three phase controlled single switch and six switch AC/DC boost converters have been done to identify the boost converter with low cost/small size/high efficiency for three phase system. Three phase AC/DC boost converters with improved quality in terms of power fact...

In signal processing circuits of a RDIF tag, the relaxation of restriction concerning operating voltage range enables us to develop various applications. In order to provide higher voltage to the signal processing circuit, two types of step-up AC-DC converters for RFID tags are proposed in this paper: the step-up converter and the step-up converter. To reduce ripple noise of output voltage, the...

Background Striatal atrophy is detectable many years before the predicted onset of motor symptoms in premanifest Huntington's disease (HD). However, the extent of these neurodegenerative changes at the actual time of conversion from premanifest to a motor manifest disease stage is not known. With this study, we aimed to assess differences in degree and rate of atrophy between converters, i.e. p...

Wavelength routed optical networks have emerged as a technology that can effectively utilize the enormous bandwidth of the optical ®ber. Wavelength converters play an important role in enhancing the ®ber utilization and reducing the overall call blocking probability of the network. Placement of wavelength converters is an NP-complete problem (K.C. Lee, V.O.K. Li, IEEE Journal of Lightwave Techn...

Abstract: Polarization converters play an important role in antennas and radar. Electromagnetic band gap materials enable manufacture of polarization converters which are : low cost, low profile, light weight and have large bandwidth. In this paper mushroom-like electromagnetic band gap materials are considered for polarization converters. The theory is reviewed. A simple design procedure is de...

The modern, advanced CMOS direct radio frequency (RF)-sampling data converter has been eagerly awaited by system design engineers for several major end-equipment manufacturers. This includes manufacturers of communications infrastructure, software-defined radios (SDRs), radar systems, or test and measurement products. Recently introduced data converters are delivering the high dynamic range com...

This paper shows the results of adding static converters (Boost, Buck and Buck-Boost converters) as an adaptation solution between a PEM Fuel Cell generator and a resistive load in order to study different effects of the converter on the generator performances in terms of voltage and current behavior. The presented results are obtained by simulating the Bond Graph developed model under 20-Sim s...

Input-series-output-parallel (ISOP) converters consisting of multiple modular DC/DC converters can enable low voltage rating switches to be used under high voltage input applications. This paper presents a digital control strategy, which can achieve equal sharing of input voltage for a modular ISOP system consisting of two-transistor forward DC/DC converters by forcing the input voltages of nei...

Voltage-type sources have dominated as an input source for power electronics converters for a long type. The existence of duality implies that there are also current-type sources. The growing application of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy has evidently shown that the current-type input sources exist in reality such as photovoltaic (PV) generator or the feedback technique ...

Conventional switch-mode dc-dc converters are operated at frequencies in the order of hundreds of kHz to single MHz. Switching frequencies in the order of tens of MHz would enable applications of RF converters in low power communications and computing integrated circuits with dynamic voltage scaling. Controllers for these converters would have to operate with a bandwidth in the GHz range. The m...
