A Differential line inductor is proposed for a differential power amplifier. The proposed differential line inductor is composed of two conventional line inductors rearranged to make the current direction of the two line inductors identical. The proposed line inductor is simulated with a 2.5-D and a 3-D EM simulator to verify its feasibility with the substrate information in a 0.18-${\mu}m$ RF CMOS process. The inductances of various line inductors implemented with printed circuit boards were measured. The feasibility of the proposed line inductor was successfully demonstrated.

This paper presents an approach to estimate the power transmission line parameter by phasor measurement units(PMUs), which are synchronized to 1 pps signal of GPS. Existing approaches to estimate power transmission line parameter, are mainly off-line ones, based on faults or switching events on other neighboring lines. In this paper, to obtain static and dynamic properties of power transmission line parameter in service, the prototype of pmu-based Transmission Line Parameter Monitoring System (TLPMS) is proposed. Also, an technique to estimate parameters of transmission line described as 2-port network model and the soundness of estimated parameters are addressed.

In this paper, we introduce a procedure to obtain a equivalent circuit of comb-line band pass filter. By employing equivalent circuits of each asymmetrical coupled line. we composed the full equivalent circuit of comb-line bandpass filter and derived simple design equations for extracting each line's impedance. To show the validity of design equations, we simulated and fabricated a planar type comb-line bandpass filter, which has center frequency 1.8㎓, band-width 50㎒ and four resonators. The resulting filter is very compact, have broad stop band with the second pass band centered at four times the center frequency of the first pass band. The experimental results show exact performances of design specification.

It is getting more difficult to construct new transmission lines, due to the increase of people's demand resulting from the change of social environment and people's consciousness. In order to solve these complicated conditions. we developed a computer system to support the route selecting and surveying of a transmission line. This paper introdouces the methodology for route selecting, designing, surveying of a transmission line and tower designing process using a computer system.

In this study, we analyzed and experimented micro-strip line inductors and capacitors for a SAW duplexer, an important devise for mobile communication. For SAW duplexers, micro-strip line lumped elements must have small impedance values, below several tens of nH or several tens of pF, and a small area pattern. In this study, we performed theoretical analysis of flat line type, meander line type, and spiral line type inductors and interdigital capacitors on a LiTaO$_3$ Piezo-crystal. We proposed a measurement method to evaluate small values of lumped elements accurately with network analyzer. In experiments, we confirmed validity of the theoretical analysis method through fabrication and characterization of micro-strip line lumped elements. The analysis method in this paper can be applied to SAW duplexers well as other microwave devices.

In this paper, a reliable and convenient evaluation method for the adequacy of any radial distribution line's voltage drop is proposed for improvement of the voltage regulation of the distribution line under operation. Using the voltage measurement of the first load branch point and the last point on the given distribution line its average line voltage drop and the line voltage drop variance by pure load variation are computed. And by these values and allowable or required line drop from proper voltage regulation view point, present adequency index and operation improvement index of the line drop are newly introduced for the evaluation of the given distribution line's voltage regulation. As a result of application to the 4 cases of study, the proposed method is proved to be reliable and convenient.

Since the characteristic frequency is decreased in proportion to the fault distance, the characteristic frequency component may be insufficiently eliminated by a low-pass filter on a long transmission line. In order to set a standard for the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter, this paper proposes a method for obtaining the characteristic frequencies due to line faults. The application results of the proposed method are presented for line to ground (LG) faults and line to line (LL) faults on a 345 kV 200 km overhead transmission line. The EMTP is used to generate fault signals under different fault locations and fault inception angles. By comparison between the characteristic frequencies obtained from the proposed method and the EMTP simulation, it is shown that the proposed method accurately obtains the characteristic frequency.

We introduce an indoor broadcasting system using light-emitting diode (LED) lamps coupled with a 220 V power line. Two couplers connected to the power line constitute a power line communication (PLC) link. The transmission path from an LED lamp to a photodetector forms a visible light communication (VLC) link in free space. When the LED lamp is coupled to the power line, a composite PLC-VLC link is formed, making it possible to transmit a VLC signal beyond line-of-sight. In experiments, a 4 kHz analog signal modulated with a 100 kHz carrier was sent to the power line by a PLC coupler, and LED lamps coupled to the power line detected the signal and radiated it to multiple VLC receivers in the room. This configuration is useful in expanding an indoor VLC sensor network to adjacent rooms or constructing a voice broadcasting system in a building or apartments with existing power lines.

Line-laser beams are used for depth measurement of welding beads along the circumference of a pipe. For this, first we project a line-laser beam on an rotating pipe and take a sequence of images of the beam projected on the pipe using a CCD camera. Second, the projected line laser beam in each image is detected, converted into a thin curve. Finally measure the distance between the thinned curve and an imaginary line. When a line-laser beam is projected to a rough metal surface such as arc welding beads, the beam is severely scattered. This severe scattering makes the thinned curve perturbed. In this paper, we propose a thinning method robust against scattering of line lasers. First, we extract a projected line laser beam region using an adaptive threshold. Second, we model a thinned curve with a spline curve with control points. Next, we adjust the control points to fit the curve to the projected line-laser beam. Finally, we take a weighted mean of thin curves on a sequence of image frames. Experiments shows that the proposed thinning method results in a thinning curve, which is smooth and fit to the projected line-laser beam with small error.
