Currently, high data rate PLC(Power Line Communications), up to 100 Mbps, which use frequency bandwidth between 2 MHz and 30 MHz is investigated very hard, and commercial PLC modem for low voltage powerline network (indoor) is coming soon into communication market. For the purpose of developing a fit communication system which has little distortion of signal and attenuation, it is surely necessary to know about channel environments of powerline. Especially, the impedance measurement of the powerline and impedance matching are very important. As is known, since medium-voltage powerline (22.9 ㎸) is still working, it is not so simple to measure the powerline impedance. In our study, a portable impedance measurement equipment is developed. It consists of coupling capacitor, a drain coil and impedance matching transformer. The equipment is easily connected to medium voltage line and impedance of power line is measured using a network analyzer. Also, measurement results are used for impedance matching of PLC signal. In fact, matching transformer with several different impedances are used. The matching transformer is connected between coupling capacitor and signal port. In this paper, the developed portable impedance measurement equipment and impedance measurement results are presented. Also impedance matching technique using matching transformers will be explained. We showed the result of the improved performance by the impedance matching.

When measuring impedance of electronic component and so on, even the small size can reject the interference to shielding object. But, the interference through human body is grown when measuring bioimpedance without establishing shield specially. Consequently, when measuring bioimpedance in this paper, it proposed impedance measurement method to take advantage of spread spectrum technology, so that can reject the interference without establishing shield specially. Spread spectrum impedance measurement method to propose in this paper can reject the interference signal that occurring from medical instruments in the human body, the interference signal that is flowed in from surrounding environment when measuring impedance. It improved SJR(signal to jamming ratio) about 22dB than conventional method that actually realize and experiment spread spectrum impedance measurement method.

본 논문에서는 SATA(Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) 커넥터의 차동 임피던스 계산 방법을 적용하여 설계 변경 방법을 제안하고 신호 전달 특성을 개선하였다. 3차원 FEM(Finite Elements Method) 전자기장(Electromagnetic Field) 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 SATA 커넥터의 차동 모드 S-파라미터를 계산하고, 신호 전달 특성을 분석한다. 차동 임피던스는 Odd mode 임피던스를 이용하여 계산되므로 인덕턴스, 커패시턴스, 상호 인덕턴스, 상호 커패시턴스 값이 필요하다. 따라서 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 SATA 커넥터의 각각의 값을 추출하여 차동 임피던스를 계산하였고, 이 값은 $107.3{\Omega}$으로 설계 사양을 만족하지 못하였다. 신호 전달 특성 개선을 위해서 SATA 커넥터의 핀을 $d_x$, $d_y$ 방향으로 설계 변경하고, 각 경우의 신호 전달특성과 차동 임피던스를 분석하였다. $d_y=0.1mm$의 경우에서 신호 전달 특성이 가장 우수하게 나타났고, 차동 임피던스가 $98.7{\Omega}$으로 정합되었다. 이때, 반사손실은 1.5 GHz에서 15 dB 개선되었다.

본 논문에서는 12.5 Gbps의 전송 속도를 갖는 고속 직렬 인터페이스 커넥터(high-speed serial interface connector)의 설계 및 분석 방법을 제안한다. 고속 직렬 인터페이스 커넥터는 다양한 매질로 구성되며, 내부 선로도 복잡한 구조를 가지고 있으므로, 선로의 불연속 부분의 각각을 임피던스 정합하기가 매우 어렵다. 따라서 커넥터의 각 부분을 단순화한 커넥터 라인(connector line)의 구조를 제안하였으며, 이 구조에서 R, L, C, G 파라미터를 추출하고 차동 모드 임피던스를 분석하며, TDT(Time Domain Transmissometry)와 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)을 이용하여 임피던스 불연속(impedance discontinuity)을 최소화 하는 방법을 제시한다. 본 논문은 단순화한 커넥터 라인에서 추출된 분석 방법 및 결과를 고속 직렬 인터페이스 커넥터에 적용하였다. 제안한 커넥터는 총 44개의 핀(pin)으로 구성되며, 본 논문에서는 4개의 핀의 폭과 간격을 변경하여 신호 전달 특성을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 접지 핀의 폭이 증가할수록 임피던스는 소폭으로 감소하고, 접지핀과 신호 핀 사이의 간격이 증가할수록 임피던스가 증가했다. 또한, 신호 핀의 폭을 증가시키면 임피던스가 감소하며, 신호 핀과 신호 핀 사이의 간격을 늘리면 임피던스가 증가하였다. 최초 커넥터 임피던스 특성은 $96{\sim}139{\Omega}$ 사이에서 변화되는 값을 나타내었으나, 제안된 커넥터 구조를 적용했을 때 임피던스 특성은 $92.6{\sim}107.5{\Omega}$ 사이의 값으로 나타나, 설계 목표 $100{\Omega}{\pm}10%$를 만족함을 보였다.

This study proposes a laser based impedance measurement system and impedance based pipe corrosion and bolt-loosening monitoring techniques under temperature variations. For impedance measurement, the laser based impedance measurement system is optimized and adopted in this paper. First, a modulated laser beam is radiated to a photodiode, converting the laser beam into an electric signal. Then, the electric signal is applied to a MFC transducer attached on a target structure for ultrasonic excitation. The corresponding impedance signals are measured, re-converted into a laser beam, and radiated back to the other photodiode located in a data interrogator. The transmitted impedance signals are treated with an outlier analysis using generalized extreme value (GEV) statistics to reliably signal off structural damage. Validation of the proposed technique is carried out to detect corrosion and bolt-loosening in lab-scale carbon steel elbow pipes under varying temperatures. It has been demonstrated that the proposed technique has a potential to be used for structural health monitoring (SHM) of pipe structures.

Li metal is accepted as a good counter electrode for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as the active material in Li-ion and Li-ion polymer batteries. We examined the existence of signal noise from a Li-metal counter quantitatively as a preliminary study. We suggest an electrochemical cell with one switchable electrode to obtain the exact impedance signal of active materials. To verify the effectiveness of the switchable electrode, EIS measurements of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) before severe $Li^+$ intercalation to SFG6 graphite (at > ca. 0.25 V vs. Li/$Li^+$) were taken. As a result, the EIS spectra without the signal of Li metal were obtained and analyzed successfully for the following parameters i) $Li^+$ conduction in the electrolyte, ii) the geometric resistance and constant phase element of the electrode (insensitive to the voltage), iii) the interfacial behavior of the SEI related to the $Li^+$ transfer and residence throughout the near-surface (sensitive to voltage), and iv) the term reflecting the differential limiting capacitance of $Li^+$ in the graphite lattice.

The digital systems include the noise in power supply, ground and packaging due to a simultaneous switching of signal, signal reflections and distortions on single and multiple transmission lines. The requirement for the controlled impedance on a PCB can be both a critical success factor and a design challenge. So, the invented tool simulates the tracks controlled impedance with the test coupon. It can saves the design time and supports the economical PCB design.

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.

Numerous connectors are used in automobiles for transmission of electrical signals across various electro-mechanical components. The connectors must operate with high reliability in order to minimize failures due to signal degradation. In this work, the effects of contamination at the contact interface of connectors used fur automobile crankshaft position sensor on the impedance change were investigated. An experimental set-up was built to simulate the electrical signal transmitted from the sensor to the engine control unit through a connector. Output from the connector was investigated using connectors contaminated with engine block residues and water droplets. It was found that slight contamination of the connectors could lead to significant signal degradation which can lead to engine failure. Also, the effect of water in the connector altered the signal severely. However, the signal gradually regained the original state as the water evaporated from the interface.
