Multiple ground rods are commonly used to obtain the low ground impedance, but they will not reduce the ground impedance unless the spacings between the ground rods are sufficient. This paper presents the experimental results of frequency-dependent resultant ground impedance of two ground rods in parallel. The resultant ground impedance of two ground rods in parallel were measured as functions of the spacing and length of ground rods and the frequency of test currents and were discussed based on the potential interferences. As a consequence, the frequency-dependent ground impedance of single ground rod and two combined ground rods give capacitive. It was found that the effect of potential interference on the ground impedance is directly associated with the frequency-dependent ground impedance and is strong in low frequency. Also, in order to reduce the increasing rate of resultant ground impedance of two ground rods due to potential interference to within 10(%), two ground rods in parallel will be placed over one rod length apart.

This paper describes the analysis of loop impedance characteristics by impedance alteration of protective conductors and operating characteristics of electric leakage circuit breaker by each earth systems(TT system, TN-S system and TN-C system) in IEC 60364. As a result, loop Impedance was affected by resistance & inductance. The current& voltage characteristics about earth system were identified that the TN-S system was high fault current & low touch voltage. TN-C system was almost same the TN-S system but TT system was low fault current & high touch voltage.

This paper describes underwater discharge phenomena and breakdown characteristics in case that the standard lightning impulse voltage is injected to the needle and spherical electrodes installed in the hemisphere water tank. The objective of this work is to understand the basic features related to transient ground impedance against lightning surges. The discharge luminous images were observed and the dependence of breakdown voltage on the polarity of applied voltage and water resistivity were investigated. As a consequence, streamer corona is initiated at the tip of needle and spherical electrodes and is propagated toward grounded tank with stepwise extension. The breakdown voltage characteristics measured as a function of water resistivity showed V-shaped curves. Breakdown voltage and time curve of needle electrode is higher than that of spherical electrode.

MI(Magneto-Impedance) sensor which is made by thin films has significantly high detecting sensitivity in weak magnetic field. It also has a merit to be able to build in the low power system. Its structure is simple, which makes it easier to prepare a miniature. In this study, its magnetic permeability and anisotropy field$(H_k)$ as a function of a thickness of sputtered amorphous CoZrNb films with zero-magnetostriction and excellent soft magnetic property are investigated. In order to make a uniaxial anisotropy, film was subjected to the post annealing in a static magnetic field with 1KOe intensity at 250, 300, and $320^{\circ}C}$ respectively for 2 hours. Anisotropy field$(H_k)$ of film is measured by using a MH loop tracer. Its magnetic permeability of a film is measured over the frequency range from 1 MHz to 750MHz. It has shown that the magnetic permeability of amorphous CoZrNb film is decreased due to the skin effect with increasing a thickness of the CoZrNb film, and hence its driving frequency is lowered. And, it was examined on the permeability and impedance to fabricate the MI sensor which acts at a low frequency by thickening a CoZrNb film relatively.

The purpose of this paper is to implement a Labview based TFDR Real Time system through the instruments of Pci eXtensions for Instrumentation(PXI). The proposed load impedance measurement algorithm was verified by experiments via the implemented real time system. The TFDR real time system consisted of the reference signal design, signal generation, signal acquisition, algorithm execution and results display parts. To implement real time system, all of the parts wore programmed by the Labview which is one of graphical programming languages. In the application software implemented by the Labview we were able to design a suitable reference signal according to the length and frequency attenuation characteristics of the target cable and controled the arbitrary waveform generator(ZT500PXI) of the signal generation part and the digital storage oscilloscope(ZT430PXI) of the signal acquisition part. By using the TFDR real time system with the terminal resistor on the target cable, we applied to the load impedance measurements. In the proposed load impedance algorithm a normalized time-frequency cross correlation function and a cross time-frequency distribution function was employed to calculate the reflection coefficient and phase difference between the input and the reflected signals.

In this work, impedance Spectroscopic analysis was applied to study the effect of plasma treatment on the surface of indium-tin oxide (ITO) anodes using $CF_4g$ as and to model the equivalent circuit for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) with the $CF_4$ plasma treatment of ITO surface at the anodes. This device with ITO/TPD/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al structure can be modeled as a simple combination of a resistor and a capacitor. The $CF_4$ plasma treatment on the surface of ITO shifts the vacuum level of the ITO as a result of which the barrier height for hole injection at the ITO/organic interface is reduced. The Impedance spectroscopy measurement of the devices with the $CF_4$ plasma treatment on the surface of ITO anodes shows change of values in parallel resistance ($R_p$) and parallel capacitance ($C_p$).

저손실 고투자율 특성을 가지는 ${\alpha}-Fe$ 나노결정 자심재료를 제조하기 위한 열처리 온도 변화에서, $510^{\circ}C$의 열처리 조건에서 가장 높은 투자율과 신호전송 특성을 나타내었다. 저주파 대역에서의 신호 전송 특성은 자심재료의 자기적 특성에 지배적인 영항을 받으며, 고주파 대역의 신호전송 특성은 임피던스 매칭으로 향상시킬 수 있었다. 그리고 커플러의 출력부에 신호증폭장치를 삽입하여 자기유도에 의해 신호가 커플링될 때 발생하는 삽입손실을 보완하여 커플러의 특성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

상용화되어 있는 이동통신 기기의 Front-end 부분은 듀플렉서와 필터를 포함하는 수동소자로 구성되어 있다. 듀플렉서의 임피던스 정합선로는 전송선로 이론으로부터 설계하며, 단순하게 ${\lambda}=1/4$ 파장 길이의 정합 선로를 설치하는 것이기 때문에 정합선로를 이용한 듀플렉서 성능을 극대화하기 위한 설계의 융통성이 없는게 현실이다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 집중소자(lumped element)인 R L C를 탄성 표면파 듀플렉서 대신 스위치 모들에 적용하게 된다면 여러 가지 다양한 형태의 회로를 구현할 수 있고 회로망 내에 위치하는 집중소자의 정격을 최적화하여 스위치 모듈의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 $900 MHz{\sim}2.2 GHz$의 대역에서 소형화 집적화에 적용 가능한 디바이스를 개발하기 위하여 고주파, 저진압, 저손실 스위치 모듈의 제조와 구성되는 커패시터와 인덕터의 제조와 특성에 관하여 연구하였다.
