This paper describes complete design and implementation of a digital controller for a high-frequency switching power supply. Guidelines for the minimum required resolution of the analog-to-digital converter, the pulse-width modulator, and the fixed-point computational unit are derived. A design example based on a buck converter operating at the switching frequency of 1MHz is presented. The cont...

This paper presents a novel control approach used in shunt active power filter based on variable structure control combined with Random PWM technique (RVSC) that provides robust, fast, and more favorable performance for active power filter. This control strategy is compared with two other strategies to show the effectiveness of the introduced methods; pulse width modulated proportional-integral...

Self-phase modulation in fiber amplifiers can significantly degrade the quality of compressed pulses in chirped pulse amplification systems. Parabolic pulses with linear frequency chirp are suitable for suppressing nonlinearities, and to achieve high peak power pulses after compression. In this paper, we present an active time domain technique to generate parabolic pulses for chirped pulse ampl...

This paper describes a complete digital controller IC for high-frequency switching converters. Novel architecture and configurations of the key building blocks: A/D converter, compensator and digital pulse-width modulator, are introduced to meet the requirements of tight output voltage regulation, highspeed dynamic response, and programmability without external passive components. The implement...

The CLW modulator represents the first successful application of high-power IGBT switching modules to meeting the requirements of multi-megawatt peak power modulators for microwave amplifier applications. Unlike some other solid-state modulators, no semiconductor switches are placed in series in this system. Neither are the switches connected in parallel. Rather, each switch drives a segment of...

The total radiation pulse consists of NS spikes, and the total pulse length is LP=NSLc. In a normal configuration all the spikes have the same line-width and the same central frequency. Chirping the pulse, i.e. changing the frequency of each spike by a quantity proportional to the spike longitudinal position inside the pulse, allow us to compress the pulse using a pair of diffraction gratings. ...

We propose a technique for measuring both pulse width and amplitude jitter noises of high-repetition-rate optical pulse trains and the cross correlation between these noises as well. The technique is based on time-domain amplitude demodulation of three harmonic components of the detected pulse train. We applied this technique to characterize noises of a gigahertz optical pulse train generated b...
