In this study, we measured the bioelectrical impedance of whole body in various frequency bands by non-invasive method by four electrode method using a portable small impedance measurement system developed to understand the bioimpedance characteristics of intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid components through a skin equivalent model. The measurements were performed on 10 male subjects (mean age $24{\pm}3.0$, body mass index(BMI) $20.3kg/m^2$) for four weeks and the bioimpedances were measured at multi-frequencies (1 kHz, 5 kHz, 50 kHz, 70 kHz, 100 kHz and 500 kHz). Experimental results show that the impedance is the highest in the low frequency range of 1 kHz and the lowest in the high frequency range of 500 MHz. Especially, it was confirmed through experiments that the impedance is rapidly lowered above 50 kHz band. In addition, it was confirmed that similar characteristics to the measured values of the bioimpedance measuring system were obtained in the simulations for understanding the impedance characteristics of the intracellular fluid and the extracellular fluid through the skin equivalent circuit model.

천공요소는 자동차의 배기 소음기, 공조기의 소음기 등을 포함하는 다양한 소음계에 널리 사용된다. 일반적으로 천공요소 들은 평균 유동과 소음원이 동시에 존재하는 환경에서 사용되며, 평균 유동 및 관 내부의 음압 레벨의 변화가 천공 부근에서의 임피던스에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 천공요소의 임피던스의 변화는 소음기의 음향학적 특성에 영향을 미치게 되므로, 유동이나 음압 조건이 임피던스에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 정밀 계측 및 전산유체역학적 모형을 이용해 천공요소의 임피던스에 영향을 미치는 주요 세 가지 인자 - 스치는 유동, 통과하는 유동, 음압 레벨 - 들을 고려하여 임피던스를 분석하고, 그 상관관계를 밝혔다.

Grounding system insures a reference potential point for electric devices and also provides a low impedance path for fault currents or transient currents in the earth. The ground impedance as function of frequency is necessary for determining its performance since fault currents could contain a wide range of frequencies. In this paper, the grounding resistance, grounding impedance and transient grounding impedance are measured by using 3-point fall-of-potential method in order to analyse grounding characteristics of the stainless-steel plate grounding electrode. An equivalent transfer function model of the grounding impedance and transient grounding impedance are identified from the measured values by using ARMA method and evaluated by comparing conventional grounding impedances.

This paper presents the transient and conventional grounding impedance behaviors of deeply-driven ground rods associated with the injection point of impulse currents. The transient grounding impedance strongly depends on the length of deeply-driven ground rod and the rise time and injection point of impulse currents, and the intrinsic inductance of ground rod has a significant affect on the transient grounding impedance of grounding system in fast rise time ranges. The reduction of inductance is decisive to improve the impulse impedance behaviors of deeply-driven ground rods. It is effective that grounding conductor is connected to the top of the ground rod as short as possible.

RF 시스템에서 발룬(Balun)은 회로기판과 집적회로 사이의 임피던스 매칭에 사용되는 소자로서, 전력의 균등한 분배와 함께 180도 위상차를 만드는 역할을 하는 주요 회로부품이다. 시스템의 요구사양에 따라 balanced 임피던스가 $50\Omega$인 소자뿐만 아니라, 25 또는 100, $200\Omega$인 소자들도 많이 사용되는데, 대부분의 계측기가 $50\Omega$을 I/O 임피던스로 설정하고 있어, balanced 임피던스가 $50\Omega$이 아닌 경우 특성을 측정하기 위해서는 별도의 지그설계가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 중심주파수가 900MHz이고, balanced 임피던스가 $100\Omega$이며, LTCC 모듈 내에 내장되는 임베디드 발룬의 최적 평가를 위한 PCB 측정지그의 구조에 대하여 설계 및 시뮬레이션을 실시하고, 이에 따라 제작된 지그를 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하였다. 지그를 구성하는 마이크로스트림의 임피던스를 조절함으로써 유효한 측정주파수범위를 넓힐 수 있었으며, 제작된 지그는 설계치에 거의 근접한 전송특성을 나타내었다.

와전류탐상(ECT) Transmit-Receive 프로브를 이용한 ECT 방법은 센서코일의 유도기전력의 변화를 관찰하여 피검사체의 결함이나 특성의 변화를 탐지해내는 방법이다. ECT T/R 프로브는 여러 개의 Pancake 코일로 구성되어있고, 각각의 코일은 Transmit 코일과 Receive 코일로 나뉜다. 본 논문은 실제 TH 프로브 제작에 앞서 동일한 특성을 갖는 와전류센서를 설계 및 제작하여 그 특성을 파악하였다. 와전류센서에 인가되는 시험주파수와 Lift-off의 변화에 대한 특성을 파악하고 와전류센서의 임피던스값을 산출하여 정규화 임피던스도를 그려 와전류센서의 특성을 살펴보았다.

This paper presents the behaviors of transient and effective impulse impedances of a long ground rod associated with the current injection points. The laboratory test for the time domain performance of actual-sized model ground rod subjected to a lightning stroke current has been carried out The transient ground impedances of long ground rods under impulse currents were higher than the ground resistance. Both of the ground resistance and the effective impulse ground impedance decrease with increasing the length of the ground rods. Also, the effective impulse ground impedances are significantly increased in fast rise time ranges. The reduction of the ground resistance is decisive to improve the impulse impedance characteristics of grounding systems. When the test current is injected at the bottom of ground rod, the oscillating pulses with high frequency are included on the wave front of ground rod potential and the effective impulse impedances are higher than any other cases.

An increase in acoustic energy in a combustion chamber coupled with heat fluctuations from flame results in the occurrence of combustion instability. The assessment of combustion stability requires the prediction of acoustic energy variation by understanding the acoustical characteristics of flow boundaries in a combustion chamber. The present paper discusses about the characteristics of acoustic impedances at boundaries in terms of Strouhal number and summarizes theoretical analyses on the acoustic characteristics of injector-head-like configurations. Also, the details of the two-microphone measurement technique have been presented.

In this paper, simulations of S-parameter and characteristic impedance for the probe pin are performed and its high-frequency performance is analyzed. The probe pins are arranged with one signal pin in the center and four ground pins on the top, bottom, left and right sides. The insertion loss and return loss of the probe pin are calculated while increasing the separation between the probe pins to 0.35 mm, 0.40 mm, and 0.50 mm, respectively. It is confirmed that the probe pin has different features of the insertion loss due to its periodic resonance phenomenon. Effect of the characteristic impedance on pitch and assignment of the probe pin is also analyzed. It is verified that there are a number of ground pins whose characteristic impedance is close to 50 Ω.

We studied the characteristics of impedance and electromechanical coupling coefficient in ZnO and AIN thin films by using resonance frequency spectrum method. The response peak of impedance decreased with the decrease of thickness of piezoelectrics, the number of mode of response peak decreased with the decrease of substrate thickness. An error of Kt² estimated from input Kt² increased as the thickness of piezoelectrics decreased and the thickness of substrate increased. Also, the error was increased in case of a large acoustic impedance of substrate. It was found that the composite resonator operating in optimized condition could be designed through the resonance frequency spectrum analysis of composited resonator consisted of piezoelectric thin film and substrate.
