Eddy-current 표피효과를 위해서 Co90Fe10와 SiO2의 multilayer를 사용하고, multilayer를 적용한 새로운 lumped 소자모델을 고려하여 최적설계를 수행하였다. 2GHz에서 동작하는 새로운 자성박막 인덕터는 photo-lithography와 lift-off기술을 이용하여 Si 기판위에 제작되었다. 50개 이상의 동일한 인덕터들의 주파수 특성은 RF Impedance Analyzer로, 자기공진주파수는 Vector Network 분석기(HP8510)로 측정되었다. 개발된 인덕터들은 1.8~2.3GHz 범위의 자기공진주파수, 47~68nH 범위의 L값, 그리고 1GHz이상의 주파수에서 70~80정도의 Q값을 가지므로 L과 Q가 극대화된 아주 우수한 최적구조의 소형(면적=30.8$\times$30.8mil2) 박막인덕터가 성공적으로 제작되었다.

The development of a digital signal processor based prototype is described in relation to continuing efforts for realizing a fully self-contained active sensor system utilizing impedance-based structural health monitoring. The impedance method utilizes a piezoelectric material bonded to the structure under observation to act as both an actuator and sensor. By monitoring the electrical impedance of the piezoelectric material, insights into the health of the structured can be inferred. The active sensing system detailed in this paper interrogates a structure utilizing a self-sensing actuator and a low cost impedance method. Here, all the data processing, storage, and analysis is performed at the sensor location. A wireless transmitter is used to communicate the current status of the structure. With this new low cost, field deployable impedance analyzer, reliance on traditional expensive, bulky, and power consuming impedance analyzers is no longer necessary. A complete power analysis of the prototype is performed to determine the validity of power harvesting being utilized for self-containment of the hardware. Experimental validation of the prototype on a representative structure is also performed and compared to traditional methods of damage detection.

The bioelectrical impedance (BI) at the inner forearms was measured using bioelectrical impedance measurement system (BIMS), which employs the multi-frequency and the two-electrode method. Experiments were performed as follows. First, while applying a constant alternating current of 800A to the inner region of the forearms, BI (Z) was measured at nineteen frequencies ranging from 5 to 500 kHz. The prediction marker (PM) was calculated for right and left forearm. The resistance (R) and the reactance (X_c) were simultaneously measured during impedance measurement. Second, a Cole-Cole plot (relationship between reactance and resistance) was obtained for left and right forearm, indicating the different characteristic frequencies (f_c). Third, the phase angle was obtained, indicating strong dependence on the applied frequency.

본 연구에서는 볼트 접합부 건전성 모니터링을 위하여 이중(dual) 압전재료 기법인 전달 임피던스 기법(transfer impedance technique)을 이용하여 볼트 이완을 탐지할 수 있는 기법을 연구한다. 전달 임피던스 기법에서는 하나의 압전재료가 탄성파를 가진하고 다른 압전재료가 이를 센싱함으로서 결함 등에 의한 탄성파 전파의 변화를 감지한다. 한편, 단일 압전재료 기법을 이용하기 위해서는 고가의 임피던스 분석기(impedance analyser)를 이용해야 하지만, 전달 임피던스 기법은 임피던스 분석기를 대체하여 일반적인 함수발생기(function generator)와 디지털 멀티미터(digital multimeter)를 이용한 결함탐지가 가능하기 때문에 저비용의 결함탐지를 수행할 수 있다. 고력볼트 접합부로 구성된 강판 프레임 실험체를 제작하고, 볼트의 조임력을 단계적으로 감소시키며 실험을 수행하였다. 전달 임피던스 기법을 이용하여 손상지수를 구하였고 이를 이용하여 결함 유무를 합리적으로 판정할 수 있었으며, 볼트 이완의 정도가 커질수록 손상지수가 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 동일한 실험체에 대하여 임피던스 분석기를 이용한 단일 압전재료 기법에 대한 실험을 수행하여 결과를 비교하였는데, 결함정도가 커질수록 손상지수가 모두 증가하는 유사한 경향을 보였다. 즉, 고가의 임피던스 분석기를 배제하고 저비용으로 볼트 접합부의 결함상태 추정이 가능한 것으로 판단된다. 향후 결함위치 및 정도를 판정할 수 있는 연구가 추가된다면 볼트 접합부 건전성 모니터링에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Common mode (CM) chokes are a crucial part in EMI filters for mitigating the electromagnetic interference (EMI) of switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) and for meeting electromagnetic compatibility standards. However, the parasitic capacitances of a CM choke deteriorate its high frequency filtering performance, which results in increases in the design cycle and cost of EMI filters. Therefore, this paper introduces a negative capacitance generated by a negative impedance converter (NIC) to cancel the influence of equivalent parallel capacitance (EPC). In this paper, based on a CM choke equivalent circuit, the EPCs of CM choke windings are accurately calculated by measuring their impedance. The negative capacitance is designed quantitatively and the EPC cancellation mechanisms are analyzed. The impedance of the CM choke in parallel with negative capacitances is tested and compared with the original CM choke using an impedance analyzer. Moreover, a CL type CM filter is added to a fabricated NIC prototype, and the insertion loss of the prototype is measured to verify the cancellation effect. The prototype is applied to a power converter to test the CM conducted noise. Both small signal and EMI measurement results show that the proposed technique can effectively cancel the EPCs and improve the CM filter's high frequency filtering performance.

The electrical properties such as dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor and AC conductivity of grain were presented to measure the moisture content of grain using RF impedance. At frequency ranging from 1 to 10MHz and room temperature, $20^{\circ}C$, vector network analyzer(HP4195) and coaxial type sample holder were used to analyze the electrical properties of paddy(11∼24%w.b.), brown rice(11∼18%w.b.), barley(11∼21%w.b.) and wheat(11∼23%w.b.) depending on the moisture content, frequency and bulk density. The dielectric constant and AC conductivity of grain samples increased with moisture content and bulk density. The dielectric constants decreased with frequency and could be expressed as function of the moisture density(decimal moisture $content{\times}bulk$ density).

Antibody based biosensors are very selective and ultra-sensitive. Antigen-antibody reactions have been used in immunoassays. In this research, a biosensor which uses antigen-antibody reaction was developed to measure and detect rat IgG. Because the antigen-antibody reaction is a physical bounding between antigen and antibody, there are several ways to measure an antigen-antibody reaction. Among the methods, impedance analysis has short measuring time and possibilities of analyzing various properties of the reaction using frequency analysis. Rat IgG could be detected with developed biosensor and impedance analyzer. The biosensor showed good repeatability and availability of detecting concentration changes of rat IgG.

In this Paper, the channel characteristics of the medium voltage(22.9kV) power line to analysis the broadband power line communication in the frequency range up to 30MHz was measured. With the sideband electrical coupler in the operating frequency range from DC to 30MHz, we measured characteristic impedance, noise and attenuation of the medium voltage power line, and then characteristic impedance was measured at the state of unloaded medium voltage power line by Scattering parameter method of Vector Network Analyzer. As a measurement result, Channel impedance shows 100~380$\Omega$ at the less than 15MHz and 70~230$\Omega$ at the more than 15 MHz. Noise characteristics of power line shows -75dBm at 20MHz and Narrowband interference noise was from 3 MHz to 7MHz.

The purpose of this study is to develop an engine oil quality monitoring system to warn the abnormal condition of engine oil. To do this, first of all, it is needed a personal controller development to measure the capacitance of a pre-developed engine oil deterioration detection sensor integrated with an oil filter. To measure the capacitance of engine oil in the sensor, it is used the way measuring the electric charging time in a capacitor by impressing DC volt. This method has merits on cost and signal stability. The measured capacitance is compensated by comparing with the one measured by an impedance analyzer. Also, using the dielectric constant gained by an impedance analyzer, the calculating equation of the dielectric constant of engine oil related with the currently developed sensor is decided. Then, the deterioration degree of engine oil is estimated according to the change rate of dielectric constant between green oil and used oil. Finally, using this dielectric constant information together with engine oil temperature and pressure, the currently developed engine oil quality monitoring system is to tell the abnormal state of engine oil.
