Abstract

This paper presents the harmonic characterization of trapezoidal power supply (TPS), which is a high frequency switching power supply system, based on conventional triangulation method. The advent of multilevel inverter topology has brought forth various pulse-width modulation (PWM) schemes as a means to control the switching of the active components in each of the multiple voltage levels in the inverter. In multimedia distribution, hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) network dramatically connects optical fiber to the neighborhood with coax cable to the residence. Compared with all-fiber or all-coaxial networks, this network when powered with trapezoidal shaped voltage waveform allows for segmentation of services and high reliability, distribution efficiency, and low cost. The design and control strategy of TPS in order to generate trapezoidal shaped load voltage waveforms has become very attractive. A theoretical analysis which emphasizes a trapezoidal fundamental component and de-emphasizes higher-order harmonics generated by TPS designed based conventional triangulation method is to be conducted. The issue of lower order harmonics and sub-harmonics, which are generated whenever the constant of proportionality is not respected, is seriously emphasized.

The journal is currently an open access journal.

The articles receive both rigorous peer-review and expedited online publication.

The journal encourages young researchers to submit their unpublished papers.

The authors retain their article’s copyright.

The authors retain publishing rights without restrictions.

Thus, authors may use their own articles for the following non-commercial purposes without asking our permission (and subject only to acknowledging first publication in Journal of Communications Technology, Electronics and Computer Science and giving a full reference or web link, as appropriate).

Authors cannot submit a manuscript for publication to other journals simultaneously. It is a waste of valuable resources because editors and referees spent a great deal of time processing submitted manuscripts. It is also unethical to republish similar research articles (text/figures/tables) again because journals have limited page space and it most likely violates copyrights which have already been transferred to the first journal. Therefore, all journals require a signed author's copyright transfer agreement stating the originality of the research work submitted through a manuscript. As stated above that authors should submit original, new and unpublished research work to the journal. The ethical issues such as plagiarism, fraudulent and duplicate publication, violation of copyrights, authorship and conflict of interest are serious issues concerning ethical integrity when submitting a manuscript to a journal for publication.

The contents of papers are the sole responsibility of the authors, and publication shall not imply the concurrence of the Editors or Publisher.
