Since Metz had employed the impedance audiometry in 1946, scholars have carried out many investigation. Brook, Jeger, Cooper reported and evaluated the clinical studies of impedance audiometry and its screening test. Recently, in Korea, a studies of impedance audiometry have been reported. We analysed 100 children aged between 7-16 years old who visited OPD of E.N.T. department with the complaints of the nasal obstruction and hard of hearing from Nov. 77-Feb. 79. Through the use of otoscope and impedance audiometry, we evaluated the types of tympanogram, static compliance and the acoustic reflex. This paper is dealing with the statistical study of impedance audiometric result and its literature.

This paper describe a method for measuring line impedance as a function of frequency for an energized powerline in normal operation. A small sinusoidal signal of a powerline communication utility frequency 30khz$\sim$1Mhz band is continuously injected into the line, and a implemented impedance analyzer calculates the indoor powerline channel impedance from the measured magnitude and phase of resulting voltage and current. The impedance measurement is executed over a range of frequencies to produce a wideband impedance versus frequency characteristic. Implemented impedance analyzer can analysis powerline communication environments measuring line impedance due to load caused in indoor. And measured analysis information through the database can use to evaluate performance of modem and to decide test environment standard.

The maximum allowable value of loop impedance($Z_s$) to secure the operation of overcurrent protective devices and the safety for indirect contact is a very important in TN-C-S system. The loop impedance is divided into inner loop impedance which consumer can adjust and external loop impedance($Z_e$) which only electric operator can adjust. Thus, an external loop impedance which limits to less than a certain value is a very important factor for human body protection against electric shock in TN-C-S system. The concept of loop impedance($Z_s$) is recently introduced to the domestic, the study about external loop impedance is yet insufficient. However, the study about the reference impedance as specified by the IEC 60725 standard to improve the quality and reliability of the power supply is being made. In this paper, reference value of external loop impedance($Z_e$) to meet domestic environment will be proposed by the nationwide measurement and statistical analysis.

In order to analyze the impedance properties of high integrated impedance network with multiple terminals, this paper introduces the concept of impedance relation matrix(IRM). The linear relation between the terminal voltages and currents is represented in the form of IRM and this matrix can be utilized to calculate the impedance between any two terminals. Furthermore, IRM representation for 2-port impedance network can be also defined. The whole impedance network is divided into the several 2-port sub-networks and each sub-network is analyzed in a form of the IRM representation. An illustrated example is given to show that the proposed method is simple and effective to analyze the impedance of a sensor array which has a very large number of impedance elements.

Impedance-based damage detection method has been known as an innovative tool with various successful implementations for structural health monitoring of civil structures. To monitor the local critical area of a structure, the impedance-based method utilizes the high-frequency impedance responses sensed by piezoelectric sensors as the local dynamic features. In this paper, current advances and future challenges of the impedance-based structural health monitoring are presented. Firstly, theoretical background of the impedance-based method is outlined. Next, an overview is given to recent advances in the wireless impedance sensor nodes, the interfacial impedance sensing devices, and the temperature-effect compensation algorithms. Various research works on these topics are reviewed to share up-to-date information on research activities and implementations of the impedance-based technique. Finally, future research challenges of the technique are discussed including the applicability of wireless sensing technology, the predetermination of effective frequency bands, the sensing region of impedance responses, the robust compensation of noise and temperature effects, the quantification of damage severity, and long-term durability of sensors.

A.C. impedance properties of $RuO_2$ based thick film resistors which having different resistivity value (DuPont 1721 : $100{\Omega}$/ sq., 1741 : $10K{\Omega}$/sq.) were investigated using by impedance analyzer. In case of lower resistivity 1721 system, the complex impedance was composed nearly R component for all speciman sintered at above $600^{\circ}C$, and the frequency dependancy on impedance was not affected very much up to 5MHz and again gradually increase with increasing the frequency. In case of higher resistivity 1741 resistor system, impedance properties were very depandant on sintering temperature. When sintering temperature was $600^{\circ}C$, the complex impedance plot shows a vertical line, which correspond to lone capacitance equivalant circuit, and the impedance linearly decreased with increasing frequency. In case of speciman sintered at $700-900^{\circ}C$, the complex impedance plot shows semi-circular are correspond to a lumped RC combination, and the impedance shows constant value to 5MHz, again decreased with increasing frequency. But the complex impedance behavior of speciman sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ was shows the equivalent circuit correspont to parallel combined LCR component, and the impedance was not varied with frequency.

반도체, 디스플레이, 태양광 등의 공정에서 사용되는 웨이퍼의 크기가 증가하고, 생산률이 플라즈마의 밀도에 비례한다는 연구 결과가 발표되면서 대면적 고밀도 플라즈마 소스 개발에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히, ECR, ICP, Helicon plasma 등 고밀도 플라즈마 소스에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라, 여러 개의 ICP를 결합한 multiple ICP를 이용해 대면적 고밀도 플라즈마 소스 개발을 진행했다. Multiple ICP의 경우 각 ICP 소스에 같은 power (current)를 공급해야만 균일한 플라즈마 방전이 발생되어 균일도를 확보 할 수 있다. Current controller 같은 추가적인 장비를 설치하지 않고, power를 분배하는 transmission line을 coaxial 형태로 설계하고 같은 길이로 병렬 연결함으로써 각각의 ICP소스에서 균일한 플라즈마를 방전시킬 수 있었다. Power generator에서 보는 각 ICP의 total impedance는 각 ICP 소스의 impedance와 coaxial 형태의 transmission line의 characteristic impedance, frequency, 길이의 함수로 구할 수 있고, 이 total impedance가 일정하기 때문에 current가 균등하게 분배되어 각 ICP소스에 균등한 power 분배가 가능한 것이다. 실질적으로 ICP 소스의 impedance는 플라즈마 방전 유무에 따라 변화하기 때문에 일정하게 유지하는 것은 어렵다. Transmission line의 characteristic을 사용함으로써 ICP의 impedance의 변화에 상관없이 Total impedance를 일정하게 유지시킴으로써 균등한 power 분배가 가능하다는 것을 연구했다. Frequency는 13,56MHz, characteristic impedance를 $50{\Omega}$ (coaxial cable)으로 고정하고, ICP 소스의 플라즈마 방전 유무/antenna turn/소스 위치에 따른 total impedance를 transmission line의 길이에 따라 측정하고, 이를 이론값, 그래프와 비교하였다. 특정 length에서 플라즈마 방전 유무(ICP의 impedance 변화)와 상관없이 비교적 일정한 total impedance를 유지하는 것을 확인 했다. 이것은 특정 길이를 갖는 coaxial형태의 transmission line를 연결하면, total impedance는 플라즈마 방전 유무로 발생하는 ICP의 impedance 변화와 상관없이 일정하게 유지되어 각 ICP소스에 균등한 파워 분배가 가능하다는 것을 보여준 결과이다. 이것을 토대로 frequency에 따라(또는 characteristic impedance에 따라) 균등한 파워 분배가 가능한 coaxial 형태 transmission line의 특정 길이를 구할 수 있고, 대면적 소스에서 균등한 파워 분배를 위한 병렬연결에 적용할 수 있을 것이다.

Here I report on how Fourier Transform Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (FTEIS) overcomes the potential-current linearity problem encountered in the impedance calculation process. FTEIS was first invented to solve the time-related drawback of the conventional impedance technique. The dramatic time reduction of FTEIS enabled the real-time impedance measurement but brought about the linearity problem at the same time. While the conventional method circumvents the problem using the steady-state made by a sufficiently long measurement time, FTEIS cannot because of its real-time function. However, according to the mathematical development reported in this article, the potential step used in FTEIS is proved to avoid the linearity problem. During the step period, the potential and the current are linearized by the electrochemical impedance. Also, Fourier transform of the differentiated potential and current is proved to give the same result of the original ones.

This paper presents a method for the development of the impedance locus to test the dynamic characteristics of protective relays. Specifically, using the proposed method, the impedance locus can comprise three impedance points, and the speed of impedance trajectory can be adjusted by frequency deviation. This paper is divided into two main sections. The first section deals with the configuration of impedance locus with voltage magnitude, total impedance magnitude, and impedance angle. The second section discusses the control of the locus speed with the means of the deviation between two frequencies. The proposed method is applied to two machine equivalent systems with offline simulation (i.e., PSCAD) and real-time simulation (i.e., real-time simulation environment) to demonstrate its effectiveness.
