The significant usage of power semi-conductor devices in modern single or multi-feeder distribution system is increasing a lot in present situation. The non-linear characterization of power distribution is highly responsible for degradation of power-quality standards. The usage of large-sized non-linear loads provokes the harmonic pollution, voltage interruptions, voltage sag/swell issues are the key problems faced by distribution systems. Over the various compensation methodologies, the highly validated universal device is Unified-Power Quality Compensator. The multi-feeder universal devices play a prominent role and provide the attractive performance with improved characteristics in multi-feeder distribution system. In this work, Multi-Feeder UPQC device is used to compensate all voltage and current related PQ issues in multi-feeder distribution systems and also furnishes load-sharing between adjacent feeders, reduce the power-shortages, maximizes the stable performance. The performance evaluation of proposed MF-UPQC is verified under various case studies with the help of Computer-Simulation tool, results are validated with improved PQ features.
In this paper, we have proposed a semi-circular patch antenna with a slot in the patch and a ground plane with a notch. The proposed antenna is designed using FR-4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.4 and the height of the substrate is 1.6mm. We simulated the antenna using HFSS and obtained the S11 < -10dB in the range of 3GHz to 15GHz, which covers the UWB range of 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz. An active circuit is designed and simulated using ADS to improve the gain of the antenna when working in a lossy medium other than air.
The microstrip antenna required for higher frequency application is to be light in weight, easy to fabricate and small in size. As the applications in S-band and Ku-band are increasing with the increase in technology the requirement for higher data rate so the proposed work is to design a 24GHz (ka band) rectangular microstrip antenna with stripline feeding, return loss to be less than -20dB and VSWR less than 0.5. The substrate is chosen to be RT/duroid 5880 with relative permeability 2.2. it is capable of covering satellite application, telemetry. HFSS software tool is used to design the antenna.
