Capacitive power transfer (CPT) is a promising method to solve the problems caused by the traditional Pantograph-catenary contact power supply for railway applications. In contrast, the CPT system suffers a broken risk because of the small coupling capacitor. This paper has analyzed the CPT coupler’s voltage distributions for dynamic CPT systems when high power is required in real railway applications. The triangle relationship among the coupler voltages is derived. The circuit of the CPT system to accolated the coupler voltage is analyzed. Then, the compensation parameters are given. With the adopted LCLC-CL topology, the design process is presented by considering the coupler voltages. An experimental setup is conducted to validate the proposed design method. The experimental results show that the system can achieve 3 kW output power with 92.46% DC-DC efficiency and the voltage distribution aggress well with the designed values.

Harmonic filters of short-wave transmitters, tunable in the frequency range using discrete variable capacitors, are presented. A comparison of a harmonic filter based on tunable LC low-pass filters with inductive coupling between the filter inductors is carried out with a similar harmonic filter, each LC low-pass filter of which con-tains an additional capacitive coupling capacitor connected between the two filter links and significantly changed the parameters of the harmonic filter.

Purpose Multiphase and quadrature voltage-controlled oscillators (QVCOs) play key roles in modern communication systems and their phase noise performance affects the performance of the overall system. Different studies are devoted to efficient quadrature signals generation. This paper aims to present a new low-phase noise superharmonic injection-locked QVCO. Design/methodology/approach The proposed QVCO is comprised of two identical inductor-capacitor circuit (LC)-voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) in which second harmonics, with 180° phase shift, are injected from one core VCO to the gate of tail current source of the other VCO via a coupling capacitor. Using second harmonics with high amplitude will switch the tail from the inversion to the accumulation, and therefore, flicker noise is reduced. Also, because of the use of lossless and noiseless coupling elements, that is, coupling capacitors, and also because of the existence of an inherent high-pass filter, the proposed LC-QVCO has a good phase noise performance. Findings The introduced technique is designed and simulated in a commercial 0.18 µm radio frequency complementary metal oxide semiconductor (RF-CMOS) technology and 10 dB improvement of close-in phase noise is achieved (compared to the conventional method). Simulation results show that the phase noise of the proposed QVCO is −130.3 dBc/Hz at 3 MHz offset from 5.76 GHz center frequency, while the total direct current (DC) current drawn from a 0.9-V power supply is 4.25 mA (figure of merit = −190.2 dBc). Monte Carlo simulation results show that the figure of merit of the circuit has a Gaussian distribution with mean value and standard deviation of −189.97 dBc and 0.183, respectively. Originality/value This technique provides a new simple but efficient superharmonic coupling and noise shaping method that reduces close-in phase noise of superharmonic multiphase VCOs by switching of tail transistors with 2 ω0 (second harmonic of oscillation frequency). No extra devices such as area-consuming transformer or additional power-hungry oscillator are used for coupling.

Purpose With the advancement of technology, size, cost, and losses of the switched mode power supply (SMPS) have been decreasing. However, due to the high frequency switching, design of magnetic drives and isolation circuits are becoming a crucial factor in SMPS. This paper presents design criteria, procedure and implementation of AC-DC half bridge (HB) converter with lower cost, smaller size and lower voltage stress on the power switch. Design/Methodology/approach The HB converter is designed in a symmetrical mode with a series coupling capacitor. Isolated power supplies are used for the converter and control circuit. Further, a transformer based isolated gate driver is used to drive both MOSFETs. The control IC works in voltage control mode to regulate voltage by controlling the duty cycle of the MOSFETs. Findings Control characteristics and performance of the HB converter is simulated using the MATLAB software and prototype of 170 W HB converter is built to validate the analytical results under variable load current and source voltage. The power quality and variation of load voltage at 2 A, 5 A, 7 A are reported. Originality/value This paper presents the design of a low-cost HB converter in a symmetrical mode which saves the additional cost of symmetric correction circuit normally required in asymmetrical mode design. This paper also focuses on the selection of primary and secondary side switch, series coupling capacitor, commuting diode, isolated drive and charge equalizer resistor.

This paper proposes a new capacitive coupling wireless power transfer method for charging electric vehicles. Capacitive coupling wireless power transfer can replace conventional inductive coupling wireless power transfer because it has negligible eddy-current loss, relatively low cost and weight, and good misalignment performance. However, capacitive coupling wireless power transfer has a limitation in charging electric vehicles due to too small coupling capacitance via air with a very high frequency operation. The new capacitive wireless power transfer uses glass as a dielectric layer in a vehicle. The area and dielectric permittivity of a vehicle’s glass is large; hence, a high capacity coupling capacitor can be obtained. In addition, switching losses of a power conversion circuit are reduced by quasi-LLC resonant operation with two transformers. As a result, the proposed system can transfer large power and has high efficiency. A 1.6 kW prototype was designed to verify the operation and features of the proposed system, and it has a high efficiency of 96%.
