Power Divider Integrated Circuit

Abstract

This research presents a Wilkinson power divider using a common inductor. The lumped topology uses the inherently inductive loss of the inductor as a part of the design, so the conventional resistor for high isolation can be omitted. Therefore, low-loss and high-isolation performances of the compact circuit were achieved. The proposed 2.5-GHz divider was implemented on a silicon-based integrated passive device process. Measurement of the prototype chip had a reflection coefficient below 18 dB at all ports, an insertion loss of 0.5 dB and isolation above 28 dB. The chip size is merely 0.011 wavelength x 0.019 wavelength.

Objective

ตัวกระจายสัญญาณวิลกินสัน (WPD) ในรูปแบบวงจรรวมได้รับการศึกษาอย่างกว้างขวางในช่วงความถี่ไมโครเวฟและคลื่นมิลลิเมตร วงจรสายส่งแบบรวมถูกนำมาใช้แทนสายส่งแบบกระจายในการออกแบบตัวแบ่งกำลังไฟฟ้าความถี่เดียว แบนด์คู่ แบนด์กว้าง และแบนด์กว้างพิเศษ [1-12] วงจรสายส่งแบบรวมโดยทั่วไปจะอยู่ในรูปแบบของสายส่งแบบขวามือ (หรือแบบธรรมดา) แต่สายส่งแบบซ้ายมือและแบบผสมขวา/ซ้ายมือก็พบได้ในแอปพลิเคชันต่างๆ มากมายเช่นกัน [13] ในการวิจัยนี้ เราจะเสนอวิธีการออกแบบใหม่โดยใช้ตัวเหนี่ยวนำร่วมตัวเดียวเพื่อนำไปใช้กับตัวแบ่งกำลังไฟฟ้าวิลกินสันแบบกะทัดรัด ตัวต้านทานในตัวแบ่งกำลังไฟฟ้าวิลกินสันถูกละเว้น เนื่องจากการออกแบบใช้การสูญเสียโดยธรรมชาติของตัวเหนี่ยวนำ เพื่อลดกระบวนการปิดบังตัวต้านทานจึงสามารถลดได้ในการผลิตวงจรรวม มีการเพิ่มตัวเก็บประจุเพิ่มเติมเพื่อสร้างวงจรเรโซแนนซ์สำหรับการจับคู่ ดังนั้นแม้จะมีส่วนประกอบจำนวนน้อยและมีตัวเหนี่ยวนำคุณภาพต่ำ แต่วงจรดังกล่าวก็ยังมีประสิทธิภาพดีกว่าวงจรแบบเดิม

Improving the strength of solid electrolyte cells

The research on improving the strength of solid electrolytes aims to enhance the properties of solid electrolyte materials produced from cement and additives that help develop the cement structure to generate electricity. The main components include sodium chloride (NaCl) and graphite, which contribute to the material’s ability to generate a weak electrical current. The objective is to develop an electricity-generating flooring material. This study involves preparing a mixture of cement, water, sodium chloride (NaCl), and graphite to enhance the material’s electrical conductivity. It is highly anticipated that this research will lead to the development of concrete flooring capable of generating electricity and can be further expanded for future applications.

Industrial robotic arm and pneumatic control systems

This Project has been undertaken to address the need for skill development and knowledge enhancement in pneumatic systems and automation control, which are crucial in today’s manufacturing industry. Pneumatic systems play a vital role in various production processes, including machine control, automated devices, and assembly lines. However, the Department of Measurement and Control Engineering currently lacks a laboratory dedicated to the study and experimentation of pneumatic systems due to the deterioration and lack of maintenance of the previously used equipment. This has resulted in students missing the opportunity to practice essential skills required in the industrial sector. The authors of this thesis recognize the necessity of reviving and developing a pneumatic laboratory that can effectively support teaching, learning, and research activities. This project focuses on studying and developing industrial robotic arm control systems and pneumatic systems, integrating modern technologies such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and AI Vision. These systems are intended to be applicable to real-world industrial contexts. The outcomes of this project are expected to not only enhance the understanding of relevant technologies but also aim to transform the laboratory into a vital learning hub for current and future students. Furthermore, this initiative seeks to improve the competitiveness of students in the job market and support the development of innovations in the manufacturing industry in the years to come.

Testing of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) based on IEC 61851-1 Annex A

This project focuses on developing a test device for an AC charger for electric vehicles according to the IEC 61851-1 Annex A standard by simulating the test circuit inside an electric vehicle according to the standard to test the operation of the AC charger. The test topic is related to the communication between the electric vehicle and the charger via a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control circuit system and creating an operation manual (WI) to prepare for testing in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 standards, which are general requirements for laboratory capabilities in conducting tests and/or calibrations. The overall picture of this project is to develop test equipment and create an operation manual by collecting knowledge and various devices and then comparing the data to meet the abovementioned standards to test the Type II AC charger in each state. The test equipment consists of a communication part between the test equipment and the AC charger using a PLC S7-1200 and an HMI to control the operation of the switches in the test equipment circuit, including controlling parameters and displaying results. The equipment used to measure values ​​is an oscilloscope and a multimeter that have undergone a calibration process to comply with the specified standards.
