Microstrip filters can be designed with various methods to obtain good performances, such as defected ground structure, open-ended slot, planar edge coupled, and split ring resonator with groundplane windowing. In this paper, the design of an ultra-wideband microstrip bandpass filter used the defected ground structure (DGS) method by adding a circular slot to the groundplane. The addition of the circular slot was carried out to improve the value of S parameter (return loss and insertion loss) from the initial filter design without a circular slot. In the simulation process, optimization was carried out by changing the value of filter component parameters such as patch length and thickness and circular slot width. The simulation results showed that the microstrip bandpass filter could pass frequencies in the range of 1.4 GHz to 5.7 GHz with the bandwidth response of 4.3 GHz. In addition, filter analysis could also be done with an equivalent circuit represented by lumped element components in the form of capacitors and inductors connected in series or parallel. The simulation results of the equivalent circuit had a wider bandwidth, which was able to pass frequencies in the range of 1.2 GHz to 6.1 GHz with a bandwidth response of 4.9 GHz.

In a standalone photovoltaic (PV) system, a bidirectional DC converter (BDC) is needed to prevent the battery from damage caused by DC bus voltage variation. In this paper, BDC was applied in a standalone solar PV system to interface the battery with a DC bus in a standalone PV system. Therefore, its bidirectional power capability was focused on improving save battery operation while maintaining high power quality delivery. A non-isolated, buck and boost topology for the BDC configuration was used to interface the battery with the DC bus. PID controller-based control strategy was chosen for easy implementation, high reliability, and high dynamic performance. A simulation was conducted using MATLAB Simulink program. The simulation results show that the implementation of the BDC controller can maintain the DC bus voltage to 100 V, have high efficiency at 99.18% in boost mode and 99.48% in buck mode. To prevent the battery from overcharging condition, the BDC stops the charging process and then works as a voltage regulator to maintain the DC bus voltage at reference value.

The use of lighting loads is one of the crucial matters which increases every year. The increasing use then leads to the development of brighter and longer-lasting sources. In addition, the conventional use of lighting loads today, which only emit light at its maximum intensity, does not allow the consumers to adjust the brightness level as needed. Consequently, this condition may cause energy wastage. The LED lighting system is gaining popularity as it is widely used in a wide range of applications. The advantages of LEDs, such as its compact size and varied lamp colors, replace conventional lighting sources. The linear setting of the driver topology using the flyback converter was aimed to control the LEDs with a constant current in order to adjust the variation of the LED light intensity. The closed-loop driver circuit with flyback converter topology was designed as an LED driver with a given load specification from the LED string. A dimmable feature was included for adjusting the intensity of the light produced by the LEDs. Eventually, the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) method was applied to the integrated change setting to obtain a dynamic response.
