Global Positioning System(GPS) is a useful system used in both civilian and military applications. However, the signal of GPS is susceptible to jamming attacks due to low receive sensitivity, since the signals come from the satellite located at over 20,000 km above the earth. In this paper, we have conducted a preceding research on a non-Foster matching circuit that efficiently matches an electrically ultra-small GPS antenna. Electrically Small Antennas(ESAs) are inefficient radiators and are difficult to match in wideband due to extremely high quality factor. In order to match small GPS antenna in wideband, a non-Foster matching circuit for a small GPS antenna was designed. A negative impedance converter circuit consisting of Linvill's cross-coupled pair transistors was fabricated and its stability was verified by the time-domain stability analysis. In addition, anechoic chamber measurements show that the non-Foster matching circuit for small GPS antenna can lead bore-sight gain improvement by more than 17 dB.

This paper deals with the analysis of high efficiency small antenna like superconductor antenna. The superconductor antenna is useful to low frequency range because surface resistance of superconductor increased with the rate of square of frequency. Thus, the used antenna increases in size. For such a reason, the role of the matching circuit is very important in small antenna. In this paper, low loss antenna included the optimal structure of matching circuit is analyzed by using quasi-static approximation. To verify the results of this paper, input impedance and radiation characteristics of this antenna have been evaluated.

During operation of an RF glow discharge system, it can be observed that the reflected power tends to increase in small value, due to changes in the impedance of the system. This problem can be relieved by adding an automatic impedance matching circuit to the system. This paper presents a detailed method of automatically matching the input impedance of a 50 ohm transmission line to an RF glow discharge system at 13.56 MHZ.

A modified 4-coil magnetic resonance wireless power transfer (MRWPT) system is proposed. Four coils based on 2-coil system with additional two matching coils were used in this topology. When Tx-Rx distance is changed, the input impedance is changed. However, it can be adjusted by coil parameters of matching coils to maintain impedance matching for maximum efficiency. The equivalent circuit of MRWPT system was analyzed for both transmission function and optimum coupling coefficient of the matching coils. By using four spiral resonant coils, these design considerations was experimentally verified. The measured data agreed well with the calculated data and the transmission function of the proposed system was more efficient than that of conventional 2-coil system.

In sonar sensor design impedance matching design to each sensor affects the whole weighting circuit characteristic very much. But there are many examples that it is made by hands or very simple modeling designs. So these design works make trial and error because it is the limitation of flexible correspondence to the many sensors and follows many errors. This study explains organizations and skills in the sensor modeling package design program with real sonar sensor characteristic measure as the first step in impedance matching design.

Recently, signal integrity on PCB (printed circuit board) becomes very important as the system operation speed increases. So far, PCB is customarily designed to minimize area and cost. However, ultra-high-speed PCB often fail to operate properly, unless it is precisely and carefully designed considering dielectric characteristics, line width, line spacing, and impedance matching. This paper surveys many problems in ultra-high-speed PCB and various design methods to mitigate them.

This study introduces a new topology to decrease the voltage stress experienced by a 13.56 MHz electrical variable capacitor (EVC) circuit with an asymmetrical switch structure applied to the impedance matching circuit of a radio frequency (RF) plasma system. The method adopts a symmetrical switch structure instead of an asymmetrical one in each of the capacitor's leg in the EVC circuit. The proposed topology successfully reduces voltage stress in the EVC circuit due to the symmetrical charging and discharging mode. This topology can also be applied to the impedance matching circuit of a high-power and high-frequency RF etching system. The target features of the proposed circuit topology are investigated via simulation and experiment. Voltage stress on the switch of the EVC circuit is successfully reduced by more than 40%.

Quantum RF impedance of SIS (superconductor insulator superconductor) junction has been analyzed by using through on tucker's quantum mixer theory in the frequency range form 80 GHz to 120 GHz. The embedding impedance of waveguide-type mixer mount and its equivalent circuit have been evaluated. From these evaluated results, the impedance matching efficiency between mixer mount embedding impedance and mixer port impedance of upper-side band and IF which were determined by augmented admittance matrix with given backshort position has been discussed in detail. It is found that the mixer with fixed backshort mount ahs a impedance matching efficiency about 80% at each port of mixer within 85GHz to 115GHz, which implys a conversion los of mixer would be good enough to be operated such a wide band frequency range. Therefore, the theoretical evaluated results show that our method can be used ot design the mixer mount without any mechanical tuning elements such a backshort or an E-plane tunners for wide band operation.

A novel analytic solution has been derived for the bird-cage receiver coil of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, which is widely used in 3-dimensional medical imaging, by transforming the coil into an equivalent circuit model by using a transmission matrix-based circuit analysis. The bird-cage coil composed of N legs is divided into a cell for which input impedance is to be analyzed and the remaining N-1 cells, and then a transmission matrix corresponding to the N-1 cells is converted into a circuit to transform the 3-dimensional bird-cage coil into the 2-dimensional equivalent circuit model, which is suitable to derive the analytic solution for the input impedance. The proposed method derives directly the analytic solution for the input impedance at an arbitrary point of the coil unlike the conventional analytic solution of a bird-cage coil, so that it can be used not only for resonance frequency calculations but also for various coil characteristics analyses. Since the analytic solution agreed well with the results of computational simulations, it can be useful for the impedance matching of a coil and the analysis and the design of a multi-tune bird-cage coil.

This paper describes the measured results of sonobuoy transmitting antenna system for anti-submarine warfare (ASW). Since radiation pattern and power density depend on impedance matching between transmitting RF part and antenna with termination resistance, design of matching circuit is very important for sonobuoy system performance. Matching circuit is designed by Smith chart using control of L and C. In standing wave ratio(SWR) measurement using Network Analyzer, SWR of antenna with matching circuit observed 1.5 below at the assigned VHF band. It shows very excellent performance comparison with conversional product that is used for the same object. The measured vertical and horizontal radiation patterns are also shown the satisfaction of military specifications. A drop out of sonobuoy system on the sea is happened when angle of elevation direction is over 10 degrees, and it is conformed that it takes less than I second return to original signal level. The required electric power density is $83\;mW/m^2$ in the military specification, and measured electric power density is observed over average $110\;mW/m^2$ at all frequency bands.
