Design and Analysis of High Power and Low Harmonic for Multi Band Wireless ApplicationAhn, Minsik 12 November 2007 (has links)
The objective of this research is to demonstrate the feasibility of the implementation of low-cost, small-size, and high power RF front ends using CMOS technology which has been known not to be suitable for high-power applications due to its material characteristic.
One part of this research focuses on developing GaAs switches for multi band and multi mode high power applications.
The development of RF front end switches for high power applications using CMOS technology is very challenging in that the characteristics of CMOS technology such as low breakdown voltages, slow electron mobility and existence of substrate junction diodes are limiting power handling capability of CMOS technology. Various topologies of CMOS switches have been employed in implementing high power RF front end CMOS switches in order to overcome material limitations of CMOS technology in high power applications. Based on measurement data such as power handling capability and S-parameters of fabricated CMOS switches, the feasibility of use of CMOS technology in high power RF antenna switch design has been studied, and novel methods of designing CMOS switches to improve the power handling capability without compensating S-parameter performance are proposed.
As a part of this research, multi-band and multi-mode power switches using GaAs technology are fabricated and tested for use of the commercial applications such as handsets covering GSM, PCS/DCS, and UMTS bands. Current commercial RF switch products demand small size, low cost and low voltage control as the number of wireless standards integrated in a single application increases. This research provides a solution for commercial products which can meet all the specifications as well as needs required in the wireless market.

New Selection Criteria for Tone Reservation Technique Based on Cross-Entropy Algorithm in OFDM SystemsChiu, Min-han 24 August 2011 (has links)
This thesis considers the use of the tone reservation (TR) technique in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The nonlinear distortion is usually introduces by the high power amplifiers (HPA) used in wireless communications systems. It orders to reduce the inter-modulation distortion (IMD) in OFDM systems. In addition to the original peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR)-reduction criterion, we propose signal-to-distortion plus noise power ratio (SDNR) criterion and distortion power plus inverse of signal power (DIS) criterion. Based on these criteria, the cross-entropy (CE) algorithm is introduced to determine desired values of the peak reduction carriers (PRCs) to improve the bit error rate (BER) of nonlinearly distorted. Computational complexity is always the major concern of PAPR technique. Therefore, the real-valued PRCs and the modified transform decomposition (MTD) method are introduced here to dramatically decrease complexity of inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) operation with slightly performance loss. The simulation results show that the proposed criteria provide a better BER performance and a lower computational complexity.

Boost and Buck-Boost Power-Factor-Corrected AC-to-DC Resonant Converters with ZVS OperationLi, Yan-Cun 31 July 2008 (has links)
The research presents two novel high power factor ac-to-dc resonant converters with symmetrical topologies and zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) operation. The derived circuits are obtained from the integration of a dual-switch boost-type or buck-boost-type power factor corrector (PFC) into a half-bridge resonant converter. With symmetrical topology, the circuit is simple and the voltage and current stresses on the two active power switches are identical to each other.
The PFC is operated at discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) to achieve unity power factor. The resonant energy tank of half-bridge resonant converter is designed to be inductive to retain ZVS operation. The design equations are derived based on fundamental approximation. Prototypes of the two proposed converters designed for 100 W and 50 W, respectively, were built and tested to verify the computer simulations and analytical predictions. Satisfactory results are obtained experimentally.

Integration of High Efficiency Solar Cells on Carriers for Concentrating System ApplicationsChow, Simon Ka Ming 03 May 2011 (has links)
High efficiency multi-junction (MJ) solar cells were packaged onto receiver systems. The efficiency change of concentrator cells under continuous high intensity illumination was done. Also, assessment of the receiver design on the overall performance of a Fresnel-type concentration system was investigated.
We present on receiver designs including simulation results of their three-dimensional thermal operation and experimental results of tested packaged receivers to understand their efficiency in real world operation. Thermal measurements from solar simulators were obtained and used to calibrate the model in simulations. The best tested efficiency of 36.5% is obtained on a sample A receiver under 260 suns concentration by the XT-30 solar simulator and the corresponding cell operating temperature is ~30.5°C. The optimum copper thickness of a 5 cm by 5 cm simulated alumina receiver design was determined to be 6 mm and the corresponding cell temperature under 1000 suns concentration is ~36°C during operation.

Impact de l’environnement sur l’endommagement laser des optiques de silice du Laser MégaJoule / Impact of environmental contamination on laser induced damage of silica optics in Laser MegaJouleBien-Aimé, Karell Brigitte 23 November 2009 (has links)
Cette thèse vise à connaître et expliquer l’impact de la contamination moléculaire sur l’endommagement laser des optiques en silice d'un laser de puissance tel que le Laser Méga Joule (LMJ). L'une des causes de l'endommagement prématuré de ces optiques est l'adsorption de polluants moléculaires ou particulaires à leur surface. Dans le contexte particulier du LMJ, nos conditions d'études laser sont des fluences supérieures à 10 J/cm², une longueur d’onde de 351 nm et une durée d’impulsion de 3 ns pour une irradiation en monocoup. Des prélèvements moléculaires, l’analyse du dégazage des matériaux, et l’identification de la contamination condensée sur les surfaces des optiques présentes dans des environnements jugés critiques, ont permis de déterminer certains polluants critiques. Des expériences de contamination contrôlée impliquant ces polluants ont alors été menées afin de comprendre et modéliser leur effet sur l'endommagement laser des optiques. Ceci nous a conduits à proposer plusieurs mécanismes supposés. / Laser induced damage impact of molecular contamination on fused polished silica samples in a context of high power laser fusion facility, such as Laser MegaJoule (LMJ) has been studied. One of the possible causes of laser induced degradation of optical component is the adsorption of molecular or particular contamination on optical surfaces. In the peculiar case of LMJ, laser irradiation conditions are a fluence of 10 J/cm², a wavelength of 351 nm, a pulse duration of 3 ns for a single shot/days frequency. Critical compounds have been identified thanks to environmental measurements, analysis of material outgassing, and identification of surface contamination in the critical environments. Experiments of controlled contamination involving these compounds have been conducted in order to understand and model mechanisms of laser damage. Various hypotheses are proposed to explain the damage mechanism.

[en] PRELIMINARY STUDIES ON THE USE OF HIGH POWER LASERS FOR PERFORATION OF WELL CASINGS / [pt] ESTUDOS PRELIMINARES SOBRE A APLICAÇÃO DE LASERS DE ALTA POTÊNCIA NA PERFURAÇÃO DE REVESTIMENTOS DE POÇOSHUGO GOMES DA SILVA 23 November 2018 (has links)
[pt] Esta dissertação faz parte de um projeto mais abrangente que visa caracterizar os parâmetros ideais para perfuração e corte a laser em rochas, metais e cimentos tipicamente utilizados na indústria do petróleo. Este trabalho teve por objetivo de caracterizar cortes a laser em placas de aço. Procurou-se correlacionar a morfologia do corte e a formação de rebarbas com parâmetros operacionais, tais como densidade de potência e posição do ponto focal. O estudo foi desenvolvido para o aço SAE 1020 com e sem anteparo rochoso (Travertino). Foram avaliadas também as mudanças na microestrutura de regiões adjacentes do aço duplex 2205 para diferentes faixas de densidade de potência. Finalmente, avaliou-se também o uso do laser no corte do aço inox submerso em água. Conclui-se que existe uma formação de rebarba, que aumenta conforme a densidade de potência diminui. Por outro lado, quanto maior a densidade de potência, maior é a extensão da mudança na microestrutura do aço. O corte de aço com anteparo rochoso abre novas perspectivas para o desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta baseada em laser de alta potência para completação de poços na indústria do petróleo. / [en] This work is part of a larger project that aims to characterize the optimal parameters for laser cutting and drilling into rocks, metals and cement typically used in the oil industry. This study had as objective to characterize laser cuts in steel plates. An attempt to establish a correlation between the morphology of the cut and the burrs with operating parameters such as power density and position of the focal point. The study was developed for the SAE 1020 steel with and without rocky bulkhead (Travertine). Also, the changes in the microstructure of adjacent regions of duplex steel in 2205 for different ranges of power density were assessed and finally it was evaluated the use of laser cutting of stainless steel submerged in water. It follows that there is a burr formation, which increases as the power density decreases. On the other hand, the higher the power density, the greater is the extent of change in the steel microstructure. Cutting steel with rocky bulkhead opens new perspectives for the tool development with high power laser for well completion in the oil industry tool.

lopes_am_me_araca.pdf: 932429 bytes, checksum: 58f57b4ef355fad92340a3819101663b (MD5) / A atividade antimicrobiana do laser Er:YAG foi avaliada sobre biofilme bacteriano constituído por Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 e 3 cepas de Fusobacterium nucleatum e sobre biofilme de microrganismos salivares. Os biofilmes foram submetidos à ação do laser a 1,2 W e 10 Hz por 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 e 60 s e fez-se a avaliação da microbiota residual em ágar sangue, em anaerobiose. O biofilme salivar se mostrou mais sensível nos primeiros tempos de irradiação. A redução microbiana em relação ao controle foi estatisticamente significativa entre todos os tempos testados. Avaliou-se também a ação do laser Er:YAG sobre 7 cepas de Fusobacterium nucleatum inoculadas sobre a superfície de corpos-de-prova (5mmX4mm) de dentes extraídos. Fez-se a aplicação do laser nos mesmos parâmetros físicos mencionados anteriormente, durante 15 s, levando à eliminação total do conteúdo séptico. O estudo avaliou também a irradiação do laser de Er:YAG durante tempos subinibitórios sobre a atividade hemolítica e susceptibilidade de 9 cepas de Fusobacterium nucleatum a amoxicilina, eritromicina, metronidazol e tetraciclina. Após a irradiação do laser, determinou-se a concentração inibitória mínima (CIM) para as drogas através do método de diluição em ágar. A ação do laser sobre a atividade hemolítica foi determinada em sangue humano. Verificou-se que o laser Er:YAG não afetou a atividade hemolítica de Fusobacterium nucleatum, que se mostrou α-hemolítica, tampouco a susceptibilidade a drogas dos isolados testados. / Antimicrobial activity of Er:YAG laser was evaluated on a bacterial biofilm constituted by Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 and 3 strains of Fusobacterium nucleatum and on biofilm produced by salivary microorganisms. Biofilms were irradiated by Er:YAG laser, 1,2 W and 10 Hz, for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 60 s and the evaluation of residual contamination was performed on blood agar, under anaerobiosis. It was verified that salivary biofilm showed to be more susceptibility to the Er:YAG laser in shorter periods of laser irradiation. Bacterial reduction was significative in all tested periods of irradiation. The activity of Er:YAG laser was also evaluated on 7 strains of Fusobacterium nucleatum inoculated on samples of human dentin (5mm X 4mm), obtained from extracted teeth. The laser was used following the same physical parameters, as previously described, for 15 s, leading to complete elimination of their septic content. The study also evaluated the effects of subinibitory irradiation of Er:YAG laser on bacterial susceptibility of 9 strains of Fusobacterium nucleatum to antimicrobial drugs (amoxicillin, erythromycin, metronidazole, tetracycline) and hemolysis. Thus, after laser irradiation, the minimal inhibitory concentration of antimicrobial drugs was determined by using an agar dilution method. The influence of laser on hemolysis was carried out on human blood. It was verified that Er:YAG laser did not produce any measurable effect on hemolytic activity and the microbial susceptibility to tested antimicrobial drugs.
