From the AC analysis results utilizing a two dimensional device simulator, the ac equivalent-circuit modeling of the ESD protection devices is executed. It is explained that the ac equivalent circuit of the NMOS protection transistor is modeled by a rather complicated form and that, depending on the frequency range, the error can be large if it is modeled by a simple RC serial circuit. It is also shown that the ac equivalent circuit of the thyristor-type pnpn protection device can be modeled by a simple RC serial circuit. Based on the circuit simulations utilizing the extracted equivalent circuits, the effects of the parasitics in the protection device on the characteristics of LNA are examined when the LNA, which is one of the important RF circuits, is equipped with the protection device. It is explained that a large error can result in estimating the circuit characteristics if the NMOS protection transistor is modeled by a simple capacitor. It is also confirmed that the degradation of the LNA characteristics by incorporating the ESD protection device can be reduced a lot by adopting the suggested pnpn device.

Free-Flooded Ring (FFR) transducer array for use in Sonar system can be driven with large amplitude in a wide frequency band due to its structural characteristics, in which two resonances of a ring mode (1st radial mode) and an inner cavity vibration mode occur in a low frequency band. Since its sound wave generation characteristics are not influenced by the water pressure, the FFR transducer array is widely used in the deep sea. So FFR has been recognized as a low-frequency active sound source and has received much attention ever since. In order to utilize the FFR transducer array for SONAR systems in military and industrial applications, its equivalent electric circuit model is necessary especially to design the matching circuit between the driving power amplifier and the FFR transducer array. Thus this paper proposes the equivalent electric circuit model of FFR transducer array by using measured values of parameter, and suggest the improved method of parameter identification. Finally it verifies the effectiveness of the proposed circuit model of FFR transducer array by experimental measurements.

In this paper, a new equivalent circuit for a defected ground structure(DGS) is proposed and adapted to design of a power amplifier for performance improvement. The DGS equivalent circuit presented in this paper consists of parallel LC resonator and parallel capacitance to describe the fringing fields due to the etched defects on the metallic ground plane, and also is used to optimize the matching circuit of a power amplifier. A previous research has also used a DGS for harmonic rejection and efficiency improvement of a power amplifier(1), however, there was no exact equivalent circuit analysis. In this paper, we suggest a novel design method and show the performance improvement of a class AB power amplifier by using the equivalent circuit of a DGS applied to output matching circuit. The design method presented in this paper can provide very accurate design results to satisfy the optimum load condition and the desirable harmonic rejection, simultaneously. As a design example, we have designed a 20W power amplifier with and without circuit simulation of DGS, and compared the measurement results.

This paper presents a slot-shaped defected ground structure(DGS) which has multi-band rejection property. The proposed structure, in which the spiral slot-shaped defects with different size are aligned in the transverse direction to the guiding direction of the coplanar waveguide(CPW), provides multiple resonance frequencies. Compared with the simulated results, the band rejection characteristic is in good agreement with the measurement. Also, an equivalent circuit model of the proposed structure is presented, where the DGS on the ground plane is modeled as LC-resonators. This resonators are inductively coupled to the signal line through mutual inductance. From the equivalent circuit model, multi-band rejection property was derived.

In this paper, the vibration characteristics of a linear stepping motor(LSM) are analyzed using the ACSL. A magnetic equivalent circuit is based on the structure of the LSM, and then the electric equivalent circuit of the LSM is derived by solving equations for the magnetic equivalent circuit. A normal force is calculated using finite element method(FEM). And the vibration characteristics(continuous vibration) of the LSM are simulated by the ACSL(Advanced Continuous Simulation language) with the voltage equations, the thrust equation, the normal force equation and the kinetic equation.

We have studied a conduction mechanism and equivalent circuit analysis in $Alq_3$ based Organic Light Emitting Diode. The conduction mechanism in organic light emitting diode can be classified into three regions; ohmic region, space-charge-limited current (SCLC) region and trap-charge-limited current (TCLC) region depending on the region of applied voltage. Equivalent circuit model of organic light emitting diode can be established using a parallel combination of resistance $R_p$ and capacitance $C_p$ with a small series resistance $R_s$.

This paper investigates the equivalent circuit analysis method for the multi-functional device in mobile telephones, which works both as a buzzer and a vibrator in a single unit form. With a representative multi-functional device, we construct the corresponding equivalent circuits for the buzzer mode and the vibrator mode of the device, respectively, and analyze the performance of each of the modes. For proper construction of the circuit, we analyze the structure and operation mechanism of the device, and develop a computer simulation tool to simulate the behavior of the device. Validity of the analysis method is verified through comparison of the analysis results with experimental measurement results, which shows good agreement between the two sets of data.

And we derived the formulas for lumped-elements of the equivalent circuit of T-junction microstrip line to solve the frequency shift characteristic. T-junction microstrip line is de-embedded by Electromagnetic simulation tool and exact lumped element value of T-junction microstrip line is calculated by the equation of Z-parameter. We can get excellent agreement between lumped-element LPF frequency response and transmission line LPF frequency response.
