Voltage Transformer is used to transform high voltage into low voltage to input signal of protection relay. Most of the Voltage Transformers use the iron core which maximizes the flux linkage. The ratio of the Voltage Transformer depends on the transformer turns ratio. The current which flows in the Voltage Transformer has non-linear characteristic caused by hysteresis of the iron core, it causes a voltage loss in the winding impedances which makes measurement errors. This paper describes an error compensation method considering hysteresis characteristic. The proposed compensation method improves error by calculating the primary current from the exciting current of the hysteresis loop in the Voltage Transformer, compensating the voltage loss.

We present the derivation of the loci of the reflection coefficient of a loaded transmission line on the Smith chart as the length of the transmission line is varied. The results show that the loci constitute a circle when the characteristic impedance of the transmission line differs from the normalizing one, whose center and radius are determined by the impedances of the load and the transmission line. The results can be used in the matching circuit design using microstriplines when line width and length should be compromised.

ABSTRACT This paper presents results of parametric studies of the seismic responses of a reactor containment structure on layered base soil. Among the numerous parameters, this study concentrates on the effects of embedment of structure to the base soil, thickness of the soil layers, stiffness of the base soil, and the definition point of the input motion. For the analysis, a substructure method using frequency independent impedances is adopted. The method is based on the mode superposition method in time domain using the composite modal damping values of the SSI system computed from the ratio of dissipated energy to the strain energy for each mode. From the study results, the sensitives of each parameter on the earthquake responses have been suggested for the practical application of the substructure method of SSI analysis.

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.

This paper proposes a half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) amplifier using lumped-element transition. The input and output impedances of this amplifier are matched by the lumped-element transition structure. This structure provides compact impedance and mode matching circuits between the HMSIW and a stand-alone amplifier. Surface mount technology inductors and capacitors are implemented to realize the lumped-element transition. A prototype of the proposed HMSIW amplifier shows 15 dB gain with 3 dB bandwidth of 4 to 7.05 GHz in a simulation and measurement.

This paper proposes an exact numerical method for analyzing a dipole antenna attached on a dielectric slab. A Green's function for an infinitesimal current filament on a dielectric slab is derived and a field integral equation is formulated using a boundary condition. The moment Method is used to solve the field integral equation to otain current distribution on the antenna. Since an asymptotic function is used to compute the impedance matrix elements, the computataion time is significantly reduced. Using the computed current distributions, the input impedances, the resonance lengths and the resonant resistances of the antennas for various values of the thichnessandthe dielectric constant of the slab are obtained. It was found that the resonant length and the resonant resistance are decrease monotonically as the dielectric constant increases, however, those are changed up-and-down as the substrate thickness increases.

This paper presents a model and simulation for the korean type multi-propulsion system consisting of a gas turbine driven synchronous alternator coupled to a rectifier and dc-to-dc converter. The simulation modules include turbine system, alternator and rectifier, dc-to-dc converter, power management module. A modular, system level simulation of the propulsion system prototype is presented in order to confirm stability for loads with uncertain input impedances and uncertain control loop speeds.

In this paper, a design and fabrication of 40 W power amplifier for the X-band using load-pull measurement of GaN HEMT chip are presented. The adopted active device for power amplifier is GaN HEMT chip of TriQuint company, which is recently released. Pre-matched fixtures are designed in test jig, because the impedance range of load-pull tuner is limited at measuring frequency. Essentially required 2-port S-parameters of the fixtures for extraction optimal input and output impedances is obtained by the presented newly method. The method is verified in comparison of the extracted optimal impedances with data sheet. The impedance matching circuit for power amplifier is designed based on EM co-simulation using the optimal impedances. The fabricated power amplifier with 15${\times}$17.8 $mm^2$ shows the efficiency above 35 %, the power gain of 8.7~8.3 dB and the output power of 46.7~46.3 dBm at 9~9.5 GHz with pulsed-driving width of 10 usec and duty of 10 %.

This paper deals with the effective protection method for the household electric appliances against lightning surges invading from the Power lines. Direct or induced lightning is the main cause of the breakdown of household electric appliance. The most effective protection method is to install SPDs(surge protective devices) at household electric appliances. If SPDs were not installed at most household electric appliances, it is necessary to install SPDs on the mains. Therefore the propagation aspect and protection methods of lighting surges coming into household electric appliances through the mains was experimentally investigated. The in actual-sized test circuits results of protection method for 8 household electric appliances including computer monitors and TV set could be summarized as follows: The breakdown characteristics of household electric appliances from lightning surges were significantly changed with the their input impedance. Namely, the types of input impedance are classified into infinite, resistive or inductive impedances. Especially, the monitor for computer with inductive input impedance from lightning surges was relatively weak against lightning surges. It was confirmed that the self inductance of branch circuits on the mains have protection effect for household electric appliances against lightning surges invading from the power lines. Also the varistors installed at cabinet panel or circuit-breaker were more effective than multi-tap outlet with varistors. When installed varistors in cabinet panel and multi-tap outlet together, the surge protection effect is much more excellent in technical and economical aspects.

In this paper, distributed mixer is studied at microwave frequency. The circuit of distributed mixer composed of gate 1,2, drain transmission lines, matching circuits in input and output terminal, DGFET's. For impedance matching of input and output port at higher frequency, image impedance concept is introduced. In distributed mixer, a DGFET's impedances are absorbed by artificial transmission line, this type of mixer can get a very broadband characteristics compared to that of current systems. A RF/LO signal is applied to each gate input port, and are excited the drain transmission line through transcondutance of the DGFET's. The output signals from each drain port of DGFET's added in same phases. We designed and frabricated the distributed mixer, and a conversion gain, noise figure, bandwidth, LO/RF isolation of the mixer are shown through computer simulation and experimentation.
