This paper describes the frequency dependence of the grounding impedance. In order to propose the evaluation method of the transient response of powered grounding systems, the grounding impedances were measured with varying the frequency of incoming currents by way of the variable frequency inverter and band pass filter. The magnitude and phase of the grounding impedance were analyzed in the frequency range of 20 [Hz]∼2.1[kHz]. The grounding impedance were increased with increasing the frequency of the test current. The grounding impedance at the frequency of 2[kHz] in the actual 22.9[kV] substation grounding system was approximately 3 times as large as the 60[Hz] grounding impedance. It was found that the frequency dependence of the grounding impedance is mainly subject to the inductive reactance of the grounding conductors. As a result, it is critical to determine the shape and size of grounding grid reducing the resultant inductance in grounding systems for lightning surge protection.

The piezoelectric single crystals used in piezoelectric transformers have a problem that power transfer capacity is comparatively low due to their high input impedance. In this study, we suggest a method to improve the power transfer capacity by reducing the high input impedance of the piezoelectric single crystal vibrator by connecting a capacitance increasing circuit to the electrical terminals of the piezoelectric single crystal vibrator where the circuit is a GIC (Generalized Impedance Converter) circuit using operational amplifiers. The result of measuring driving characteristics after applying the designed capacitance increasing circuit to the $128^{\circ}$ rotated Y-cut $LiNbO_3$ crystal vibrator confirmed that the input impedance decreased by 25 %, electromechanical coupling factor increased by 30 %, and the power transfer capacity increased by about 17 to 30 times in voltage conversion characteristics.

A frequently used bioimpedance analytical method in Korea is the segmental multi-frequency BIA (SMF-BIA) method, but it is not directly determined at a segmented impedance. This study was to compare SMF-BIA determinations with direct segmented determinations for accuracy and appropriateness of segment parameters. This study is to compare the segment parameters, accuracy and appropriateness of the multi-frequency segmental bioimpedance analysis. To this end, 108 elderly individuals were measured. Segmented bioelectrical measurements obtained from a SMF-BIA (Inbody S10) at 50 kHz and measured with a phase sensitive single frequency device (SF-BIA, bia-101, RJL / akern systems) were compared. The significant difference (%) was demonstrated between single - and multiple frequency determinations of the right upper limb (R = 35.5 ± 6.2%, P < 0.001; Xc = 2.7 ± 7.6%, P < 0.01), left upper limb difference (R= 33. 9 ± 6.0%, P < 0.001; Xc = 2.8 ± 8.3%, P < 0.01), right lower limb difference (R = 18.6 ± 4.3%, P < 0.001; Xc = 25.8 ± 10.0%, P < 0.001), left lower limb difference (R = 18.0 ± 4.7%, P < 0.001; Xc = 31.8%). Of the results determined with the two BIA methods, the impedance measurements of the limbs and whole body showed a high correlation (RA: R = 0. 950, LA: R = 0. 949, RL: R = 0.899, LL: R = 0.88), and in the agreement test, the impedance values of the upper limbs and whole body also showed strong agreement (ICC > 0.9), but in the Xc, the correlation was weak. In conclusion, it was found that although bioimpedance devices had significantly different characteristics and inconsistent cross sectionally, there was a high population level agreement in the upper and lower extremities in determining segmental resistance value changes. But a large error was found on the trunk. Further studies were needed for reducing the error.

Although a ground resistance is a good index of grounding performance for grounding electrodes, it does not reflect the grounding performance during transient state. A copper rod electrode is the most commonly used grounding electrode in electric distribution systems. In this paper, the grounding impedance of copper rods has been measured in frequency raging from 60[Hz] up to 100[kHz] and an equivalent model of the grounding impedance is identified from the measured values. The grounding impedance under study when a typical lightning surge is injected into the grounding system was simulated numerically and graphically through the use of the MATLAB software program.

최근 기후변화로 인해 낙뢰의 발생빈도가 크게 증가하고 있으며 이에 따라 피뢰시스템의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 피뢰시스템의 원활한 기능을 수행하기 위해 접지시스템의 성능이 보장되어야 하며, 접지전극은 뇌격전류를 안전하게 대지로 방류시켜야 한다. 본 논문에서는 피뢰시스템에서 가장 흔하게 사용되는 수직접지전극을 대상으로 서지전류가 인가되었을 때 접지전극이 묻힌 대지저항률, 접지전극의 길이, 서지 전류의 파두시간 등에 따른 규약접지임피던스를 측정하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 대지저항률이 높은 토양과 접지전극의 길이가 짧은 경우 접지임피던스가 감소하는 용량성 특성이 지배적으로 나타나며, 대지저항률이 작고 접지전극의 길이가 긴 경우 접지임피던스가 증가하는 유도성 특성이 지배적으로 나타났다. 따라서 피뢰시스템을 위한 접지시스템 설계 시 대지저항률 및 접지전극의 길이를 고려하여 유도성 특성을 최소화 할 수 있도록 설계해야 한다.

This paper describes an unequal Bagley divider using uniform transmission lines with adjustment electrical lengths between output ports. To obtain an arbitrary dividing ratio of Bagley divider, we have only adjusted the electrical lengths of the transmission line between output ports. All the transmission lines have the same characteristic impedance value. This design method does not require an impedance transformer for port matching. For verification, we simulated and fabricated a 3-way, 1:2:1 and 5-way, 2:3:4:3:2 ratio Bagley divider with an operating frequency of 2 GHz. The experimental results are in agreement with the simulated results.

바늘침 전극을 사용한 대기압 플라즈마 제트의 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 접지 전극 위치, 안정 커패시터 크기 등 변수에 따라서 플라즈마 제트 방전 특성의 변화를 조사한다. 각 실험조건의 등가회로를 통해서, 플라즈마 방전 특성(IV-curve)을 분석한다. 등가회로에서 안정 커패시터 Cp, 유리관 내부 플라즈마 저항 RP, 접지측 유리층 커패시턴스 CG, 대기 접지 RA, 등의 각 변수들을 검토한다. Rp 및 Rj는 방전이 강해질수록 작아진다. 특히 타운젠트 방전 후 Rp 및 Rj는 약 수십 $k{\Omega}$으로 작아진다, 회로 전체 임피던스와 비교하면 아주 작은 값이다. 안정 커패시터 와 접지 측 유리 층의 임피던스는 수백 $k{\Omega}$으로 아주 크다. 방전이 진행되면서 플라즈마 저항 Rp 및 Rj가 급감하여도 Cp 및 CG의 역할로 회로전체 임피던스가 일정한 값을 유지할 수 있어서 전류가 급증 하는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 대기 접지 RA는 $M{\Omega}$으로, 접지 전극이 없을 때 방전 개시전압도 높아진다.

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.

In this study, the new modeling scheme has been developed for recently designed and tested electromagnetic survey, which adapts horizontal magnetic dipole with $1\;kHz\~1\;MHz$ frequency range as a source. The 2.5-D secondary field formulation in wavenumber domain was constructed using finite element method and verified through comparing results with layered-earth solutions calculated by integral equations. 2-D conductive- and resistive-block models were constructed for calculating electric field, magnetic field and impedance - the ratio of electric and magnetic fields which are orthogonal each other. This study showed that electric field and impedance are superior in identifying 2-D isolated-body model to magnetic field. In particular, impedance gives more stable results than electric field with similar spatial resolving power, because electric field is divided by magnetic field in impedance. Thus the impedance analysis which uses electric and magnetic fields together would give better result in imaging the shallow anomalies than conventional EM method.

To properly design and assess a piezoelectric vibration energy harvester, it is necessary to consider the application of an efficiency measure of energy conversion. The energy conversion efficiency is defined in this work as the ratio of the electrical output power to the mechanical input power for a piezoelectric vibration energy harvester with an impedance-matched load resistor. While previous research works employed the electrical output power for approximate impedance-matched load resistance, this work derives an efficiency measure considering optimally matched resistance. The modified efficiency measure is validated by comparing it with finite element analysis results for piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters with three different values of the electro-mechanical coupling coefficient. New findings on the characteristics of energy conversion and conversion efficiency are also provided for the two different impedance matching methods.
