In this paper, a new constant-frequency quasi-resonant converter is proposed. Compared with the traditional LLC converter, the proposed converter can effectively reduce the range of the operating frequency. The output voltage is changed to adjust the reactance of the resonant cavity. The proposed converter has a better loss factor. To verify the theoretical analysis and soft-switching condition, a 250 W, 100 V output prototype was built and compared with the full-bridge LLC converter. Analysis and experimental results verify that a smaller operating frequency range and volume of the transformers, a soft-switching condition, and a higher overall efficiency are achieved with the proposed converter.

Electromagnetic Energy Harvesting

Abstract In this paper, the effect of internal inductance of electromagnetic generators in the field of energy harvesting is discussed. Electromagnetic energy harvesters are typically operated at low frequencies. This results in the generator internal inductor impedance being significantly less than the generator internal resistance. However, at high frequencies, this inductance can no longer be ignored. Therefore, to maximize the harvested power, the internal inductance must be considered while designing the power electronics. This paper presents two methods to tackle this issue. The first method involves making use of a discrete capacitor which is able to reduce the inductance effect not just at resonant frequency but for the entire operating frequency range. The second method makes use of a concept similar to synchronized switching harvesting on inductors (SSHI) in piezoelectric energy harvesting. A capacitor and switch are added in the electromagnetic energy harvesting circuit to reduce the generator internal inductance effect. This method not only provides the benefit of performing well in the entire operating frequency range but also eliminates the need for precise maximum power tracking techniques, which further helps in reducing the circuit losses. Simulation results show a maximum power output increase of 56%.

Er Fluid

Conventional rubber mounts and various types of passive or semi-active hydraulic engine mounts for a passenger vehicle have their own functional aims on the limited frequency band in the broad engine operating frequency range. In order to achieve high system performance over all frequency ranges of the engine operation, a new type of engine mount featuring electro-rheological(ER) fluids and piezoactuators is proposed in this study. A mathematical model of the proposed engine mount is derived using the bond graph method which is inherently adequate to model the interconnected hydromechanical system. In the low frequency domain, the ER fluid is activated upon imposing an electric field for vibration isolation while the piezoactuator is activated in the high frequency domain. A neuro-control algorithm is utilized to determine control electric field for the ER fluid, and H∞ control technique is adopted for the piezoactuator Comparative works between the proposed and single-actuating(ER fluid only or piezoactuator only) engine mounts are undertaken by evaluating force transmissibility over a wide operating frequency range.

The Relationship

The regularities of the influence of the moisture content of expanded clay on the values of the reflection coefficient of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) of this material in the frequency range of 1–17 GHz have been established. The relationship between the size of fractions (pore size) of expanded clay and the operating frequency range of the EMR screen samples has been determined. It is shown that a twofold increase in the moisture content of expanded clay with fractions of 1…4 and 10…20 mm provides an extension of the operating frequency range of the EMR shield samples made on the basis of this material, with a decrease in the reflection coefficient of the test samples by 1.7 and 3 times, respectively. It was found that an increase in the moisture content of expanded clay from 19 to 40 % with a decrease in the size of its fractions from 10…20 to 1…4 mm and a pore size from 0.1…0.2 to 0.01…0.06 mm provides a decrease in the values of the reflection coefficient of EMR screen samples at frequencies of 7.7–17.0 GHz, and an increase in the size of expanded clay fractions from 1…4 to 10…20 mm with an increase in the size of its pores from 0.01…0.06 to 0.1…0.2 mm provides a decrease in the values of the reflection coefficient of EMR screen samples at frequencies of 1.0–7.7 GHz. It is shown that the practical use of these regularities makes it possible to form EMR screen samples with reflection coefficients from –2.8 to –22.0 dB in the frequency range 1–17 GHz, which makes it possible to recommend them for use when creating shielded rooms.

Vivaldi Antenna

This paper introduces an improved shape of Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna from the normal schematic structure which yields a high radiation gain. We have designed and fabricated the improved structure of Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna with the help of new dielectric substrate ASTRA®MT77 material. We have chosen a unique substrate material to develop our novel Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna because most research has been done on commonly used materials like FR4, RT Duroid, etc. Moreover, ISOLA has significantly good electrical and nonelectrical properties as compared with other substrate materials. The results of the desired antenna were simulated through extensive simulations performed in CST Microwave Studio®. The characteristics of all the antenna parameters are clearly studied and we are successful to achieve closed results between designed as well as experimented Vivaldi Antenna. The simulated antenna achieved a maximum gain of more than 9 dBi whereas the experimental antenna reached around 7 dBi between the operating frequency range from 1 GHz to 13 GHz. The measured prototype antenna provides linear polarization with overall radiation efficiency of more than 90%.
