This paper proposes a multi-stage power generation system suitable for renewable energy sources, which is composed of a DC-DC power converter and a three-phase inverter. The DC-DC power converter is a boost converter to convert the output voltage of the DC source into two voltage sources. The DC-DC converter has two switches operates like a continuous conduction mode. The input current of DC-DC...

Conventional Flux Compression Generators (FCG's) are used to generate high power DC pulses. A new kind of (FCG's) with series capacitance called Capacitive Flux Compression Generator (CFCG) will be introduced and explained in this paper. This new kind is used to generate modulated high power pulses. There are some problems to establish a capacitance in high power and high frequency applications...

—In this paper, we propose two new systematic ways to construct amicable orthogonal designs (AOD), with an aim to facilitate the construction of power-balanced orthogonal space-time block codes (O-STBC) with favorable practical attributes. We also show that an AOD can be constructed from an Amicable Family (AF), and such a construction is crucial for achieving a power-balanced O-STBC. In additi...

Reactive power in balanced and unbalanced lines constitutes the main problem that is examined in this article. We will describe a balanced line as a line with differential input and output signals. Unbalanced lines, such as the SWER scheme, have to cope with the reactive power problem. However, this problem does not exist in the one wire balanced B-Line scheme. In addition, various methods of g...

The design of membrane-based Schottky planar diode frequency triplers to 1.9 THz is discussed. Both, balanced and unbalanced circuit designs are proposed and compared. The simulations show that with 2.5 to 3.5 mW of input power the balanced triplers can produce sufficient power to pump hot electron bolometer mixers. However, if the available input power is limited to 1 mW then the unbalanced de...
