In this paper, a method for the precise impedance measurement of coaxial loads using an offset open and short as the reflection standards and reference air lines with different lengths as the impedance standards is proposed. Measured input impedances of power sensors and thermistor mounts obtained from SWR bridges(5~400MHz) and a vector network analyzer(100~1,000MHz) are presented in the frequency range of 5MHz to 1,000 MHz.

A high impedance fault(HIF) is one of the serious problems facing the electric utility industry today. Because of the high impedance of a downed conductor under some conditions these faults are not easily detected by over-current based protection devices and can cause fires and personal hazard. In this paper a new method for detection of HIF which uses adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is proposed. Since arcing fault current shows different changes during high and low voltage portion of conductor voltage waveform we firstly divided one cycle of fault current into equal spanned four data windows according to the mangnitude of conductor voltage. Fast fourier transform(FFT) is applied to each data window and the frequency spectrum of current waveform are chosen asinputs of ANFIS after input selection method is preprocessed. Using staged fault and normal data ANFIS is trained to discriminate between normal and HIF status by hybrid learning algorithm. This algorithm adapted gradient descent and least square method and shows rapid convergence speed and improved convergence error. The proposed method represent good performance when applied to staged fault data and HIFLL(high impedance like load)such as arc-welder.

In this paper, the accurate characterization of the input impedance of a rectangular waveguide with a conducting post and the other discontinuity is presented using mode matching method and the equivalent transmission line theory. By the proposed method, the input impedance of rectangular waveguide with a conducting post and the other discontinuity as a function of the radius and height of the post, the reflection coefficient of the other discontinuity, and the distance between the post and the other discontinuity is calculated. The simulated result shows good agreement with the experimental result by Marcuvitz.

An insulated monopole antenna having a balun and a cap at the coaxial feeder and the monopole end, respectively, may be designed to have a well-confined uniform heating Pattern as well as the satisfactory impedance matching at the input port of the antenna. Measurements by using the infra red camera in the biologically equivalent tissue phantom shows that the highest temperature is 46 degree in centigrade at the 20 watts input Power for 2 minutes and input reflection less than -30 dB at 2450 MHz.

The coaxial line impedance transformer that performs impedance conversion using the coupling of two or more coaxial lines of the same length is often used for impedance matching in the low frequency region due to many advantages. This paper measures the phase and magnitude characteristics of each coaxial line in a 4:1 coaxial line impedance transformer using two 100mm coaxial lines. This experiment shows that it is more effective to make the length of the auxiliary coaxial line shorter than the main coaxial line by about 5 mm in order to realize a low loss impedance transformer. In addition, it measures the transmission characteristics by directly connecting a 4:1 impedance transformer and a 1:4 impedance transformer. This experiment shows that it is effective to connect a 1pF capacitor between the ground and the outer conductor input point of the main coaxial line in order to increase the operating frequency range.

A quarter-wavelength open circuited microstripline slot array is realized at X-band froquency. The optimal feeding point is experimentally determined. The input impedance of the slot array for various frequencies and its radiation pattern are measured. The bandwidth of the slot array is increased by using the 4$\times$4 elements which are slightly different in length and feeding network which is suggested in this papers.

Validity and limitation of conventional methods for analyzing the characteristics of nonuniform transmission lines are discussed here. It is found that uniqueness of cal- culated input impedance of an exponential transmission line by employing conventional methods is not assured in general but only under secific conditions. And the calculated input impedance of an angled two-plane transmission line based on the conventional planar TEM mode devices from its rigorous solution.

A traveling-wave CPW(coplanar waveguide) electrode with abruptly broken input/output-taper for LiNbO$_3$optical modulator was designed and fabricated. The electrical characteristics of traveling-wave electrode on z-cut LiNbO$_3$crystal with SiO$_2$buffer layers were measured by network analyzer. To confirm the possibility of the electro-optic modulator electrode, detailed calculations of the impedance, microwave effective index and attenuation constants are presented as a function of the microwave electrode thickness, but the buffer layer thickness is fixed as 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. These characteristics are discussed from the viewpoint of the device optimization and are expected to be design guides for the LiNbO$_3$modulator’s electrodes.

A more reliable relaying algorithm for detecting a high impedance fault (HIF) requires fault currents at the relaying point containing information of various HIF characteristics as well as load conditions. As HIF characteristics, there are buildup, shoulder, nonlinearity and asymmetry. This paper presents a modeling method of a HIF in a distribution system using EMTP. In order to represent HIF characteristics, the proposed method uses two time-varying resistances. The first TVR models nonlinearity and asymmetry using voltage as the input. The second TVR models buildup and shoulder using time information as the input. The proposed method is implemented in EMTP.
