Piezoelectric tube scanners are typically used in atomic force microscopy (AFM) to provide the scanning motion of the sample. Excitation of the weakly damped fundamental resonance of the tube scanner leads to oscillations that can cause severe image distortion. This paper presents self-sensing actuation of a piezoelectric tube scanner in order to actively damp the fundamental resonance. By electrically...
In this paper a very high gain step up DC-DC converter is proposed. Maximum voltage gain in conventional boost converter like, switched inductor converter, switched capacitor converter, cascaded boost converter etc. are limited due to extreme duty cycle (i.e. duty cycle near to unity). Operation at extreme duty cycle leads to, serious reverse recovery problem at the switches, high conduction losses,...
Solid state transformers (SSTs) have found widespread power applications in traction locomotives, distribution systems, smart grids, etc., where they are going to replace conventional transformers and associated power enhancement equipments to provide better power quality features and functionalities. An eminent structure of SST comprises of three power conversion stages: input (AC-DC), isolation...
Potential of bidirectional Split-Pi converter is yet to be exploited.

Output dc voltage from Fuel Cell (FC)/Photo Voltaics (PV) needs to be conditioned and converted into ac form before integrating to grid. Normally, two stage converters are used for this purpose. Two stage converters have several disadvantages like low efficiency, more number of components, big size, etc. especially when they are operated at low input voltages. In this paper, a coupled inductor based...
Due to the focus on clean and green environment, the interest on electrification of existing transportation system is increasing.

Most of electric circuits can be viewed as a two port network with two terminals defined as input and output ports. In this paper, two different concepts are combined together which are the two port network concept and the fractional calculus to design a general fractional order two port network with equal order. An oscillator case study with three impedances structure has been presented. The three...

In the design of high complexity systems, the significance of signal integrity plays a vital role and in turn depends on the occurrence of different noises such as crosstalk noise, reflection noise, switching noises and active periodic noise. These noises are more in the design of IC, PCB layout design and multilayered PCB. However the impact of Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN) noises in a IC with...

The output current ripple can be reduced with the interleaved structure, and both switches can achieve Zero-voltage-switching (ZVS). Besides, the energy of leakage inductance can be fully recycled, which will improve the efficiency of the converter. The topology is based on hysteresis control, with this control scheme,...
Since the loss of input rectifying diode bridge in the conventional PFC converter reduces the efficiency, the bridgeless PFC converter has been proposed.
