Modern arc welding machines utilize controllable high frequency DC/DC power supply with high dynamic and steady state current regulation performance. In the design robustness, small size and low weight, low complexity, and high efficiency are the defining criteria. The most suitable approach for a 5 kW arc welding machine power supply application is the high frequency Full-Bridge Phase-Shifted Zero Voltage Switching (FB-PS-ZVS) DC/DC converter with an isolation transformer. This converter not only gives the advantage of zero voltage switching for a wide load current range, it also provides reduced Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and reduced component stress compared to standard PWM converters. In this thesis a FB-PS-ZVS DC/DC converter with 5 kW power rating is designed for modern arc welding machine applications. IGBTs are utilized at 50 kHz switching frequency for high efficiency and control bandwidth. The output current of the DC/DC converter is controlled via a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) control platform. The performance of the designed DC/DC converter is evaluated via the computer simulations and the experimental study of the constructed prototype.

Design and fabrication of rf mems switches and instrumentation for performance evaluation Atasoy, Halil İbrahim; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) This thesis presents the RF and mechanical design of a metal-to-metal contact RF MEMS switch. Metal-to-metal contact RF MEMS switches are especially preferred in low frequency bands where capacitive switches suffer from isolation due to the limited reactance. Frequency band of operation of the designed switch is from DC to beyond X-band. Measured insertion loss of the structure is less than 0.2 dB, return loss is better than 30 dB, and isolation is better than 20 dB up to 20 GHz. Isolation is greater than 2...
RF coil system design for MRI applications inhomogeneous main magnetic field Yılmaz, Ayhan Ozan; Aşkar, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this study, RF coil geometries are designed for MRI applications using inhomogeneous main magnetic fields. The current density distributions that can produce the desired RF magnetic field characteristics are obtained on predefined cubic, cylindrical and planar surfaces and Tikhonov, CGLS, TSVD and Rutisbauer regularization methods are applied to match the desired and generated magnetic fields. The conductor paths, which can produce the current density distribution calculated for each surface selection an...
Advanced readout and control electronics for mems gyroscopes Temiz, Yüksel; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) This thesis reports the development of advanced readout and control electronics for MEMS gyroscopes developed at METU. These gyroscope electronics are separated into three main groups: high sensitive interface circuits, drive mode amplitude controlled self oscillation loops, and sense mode phase sensitive amplitude demodulators. The proposed circuits are first implemented with discrete components, and then integrated on CMOS chips. A self oscillation loop enabling constant amplitude drive mode vibrations in...
Optimum current injection strategy for magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography Altunel, Haluk; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) In this thesis, optimum current injection strategy for Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) is studied. Distinguishability measure based on magnetic flux density is defined for MREIT. Limit of distinguishability is analytically derived for an infinitely long cylinder with concentric and eccentric inhomogeneities. When distinguishability limits of MREIT and Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) are compared, it is found that MREIT is capable of detecting smaller perturbations than EIT. ...
Design of buck converter for educational test bench Kılıç, Ümit Erdem; Üçtuğ, Yıldırım; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In this thesis a buck converter has been developed to be used as a test bench in power electronics laboratory. For this purpose, first, steady-state and small-signal analyses of a buck converter is carried out, then open-loop and closed-loop control of the converter are developed and simulated. Then, the circuit is manufactured and tested. The test results are compared with the simulation results. Finally, an experimantal procedure is prepared to enable the students to perform the experiment in the laborato...
