this paper presents a novel control method to improve the efficiency of low-voltage dc-dc converters at light loads. pulse width modulation (pwm) converters have poor efficiencies at light loads, while pulse frequency modulation (pfm) control is more efficient for the same cases. switching losses constitute a major portion of the total power loss at light loads. to decrease the switching losses...

Unfortunately, traditional RF pulse measurements become less effective predictors of performance in radars that use pulse compression. For example, the width of an uncompressed radar pulse is directly related to spatial resolution. In contrast, the resolution depends on pulse width, chirp bandwidth and chirp linearity in a compressed radar system that uses linear frequency modulated (LFM) chirp...

This paper presents a novel control method to improve the efficiency of low-voltage DC-DC converters at light loads. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) converters have poor efficiencies at light loads, while pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control is more efficient for the same cases. Switching losses constitute a major portion of the total power loss at light loads. To decrease the switching losses...

We present the procedure for designing a high speed and low power all-optical analog to digital converter (AO-ADC), by integrating InGaAsP semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) with InP based photonic crystal (PhC) drop filters. The self-phase modulation in the SOA can shift the frequency of the Gaussian input pulse. The two output PhC based drop filters are designed to appropriately code the f...

This Paper Presents a comparative study of Constant Switching frequency Multicarrier Pulse width Modulation and Variable Switching frequency Multicarrier Pulse width Modulation. The emergence of Multilevel converter has been in increase since the last decade . These new type of converters are suitable in high voltage & high power application due to their ability to synthesize waveforms with bet...

In this paper, various novel pulse width modulation techniques are proposed, which can minimize the total harmonic distortion and enhances the output voltages from five level inverter to multilevel topologies. Multilevel inverters are important for power electronics applications such as flexible ac transmission systems, renewable energy sources, uninterruptible power supplies and active power f...
