The maximum allowable value of loop impedance($Z_s$) to secure the operation of overcurrent protective devices and the safety for indirect contact is a very important in TN-C-S system. The loop impedance is divided into inner loop impedance which consumer can adjust and external loop impedance($Z_e$) which only electric operator can adjust. Thus, an external loop impedance which limits to less than a certain value is a very important factor for human body protection against electric shock in TN-C-S system. The concept of loop impedance($Z_s$) is recently introduced to the domestic, the study about external loop impedance is yet insufficient. However, the study about the reference impedance as specified by the IEC 60725 standard to improve the quality and reliability of the power supply is being made. In this paper, reference value of external loop impedance($Z_e$) to meet domestic environment will be proposed by the nationwide measurement and statistical analysis.

Impedance spectroscopy informs electrical properties of materials as accumulated charges, contact status between electrode and organic materials. We carried out impedance spectroscopy of organic light-emitting diodes as ITO/Alq3(60 nm)/Al on temperatures from 10 K to 300 K. The result described Z'-Z" plot, cole-cole plot and dielectric relaxation time τ. Z'-Z" plot means that real and imaginary part of materials in organic and electrode by frequencies and temperature. Z' as real part of impedance by applied frequency depending on temperature shows the plateau in low frequency region as Rs+ Rp and over 100 kHz in high frequency region as Rs. Cole-cole plot shows resistance of materials in equivalent circuit of the device by temperatures. And equivalent circuit and dielectric relaxation could be accomplished by using the complex impedance analysis.

For a battery module where single cells are connected in series, the single cells should each have a similar state of charge (SOC) to prevent them from being exposed to an overcharge or over-discharge during charge-discharge cycling. To detect the existence of unbalanced SOC cells in a battery module, we propose a simple measurement method using a single-frequency response of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). For a commercially available graphite/nickel-cobalt-aluminum-oxide lithium-ion cell, the cell impedance increases significantly below SOC20%, while the impedance in the medium SOC region (SOC20%-SOC80%) remains low with only minor changes. This impedance behavior is mostly due to the elementary processes of cathode reactions in the cell. Among the impedance values (Z, Z', Z"), the imaginary component of Z" regarding cathode reactions changes heavily as a function of SOC, in particular, when the EIS measurement is performed around 0.1 Hz. Thanks to the significant difference in the time constant of cathode reactions between ≤SOC10% and ≥SOC20%, a single-frequency EIS measurement enlarges the difference in impedance between balanced and unbalanced cells in the module and facilitates an ~80% improvement in the detection signal compared to results with conventional EIS measurements.

직경 $190{\mu}m$ Cu 와이어에 $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ 연자성 물질을 전기도금법으로 증착하여 금속 코어/연자성 쉘 구조의 복합 와이어를 제작하고 이 와이어에서 자기임피던스 효과(MI 효과)를 연구하였다. 원통 좌표계에서 복합 와이어의 임피던스 텐서의 두 대각 성분 $Z_{{\theta}{\theta}}$와 $Z_{zz}$는 z 방향으로 가한 자기장에 대해 큰 MI 효과를 나타낸 반면, 비대각 임피던스 $Z_{{\theta}z}$의 MI 효과는 매우 약하게 나타났다. 비대각 자기임피던스 효과가 큰 복합 와이어를 만들기 위해 비틀림 스트레인 하에서 전기도금하는 방법을 시도하였다. Cu 와이어의 한쪽 끝을 약 $270^{\circ}$ 이상 회전한 상태에서 전기도금 된 복합 와이어는 뚜렷하게 증대된 비대각 MI 효과를 보였으며 $360^{\circ}$ 회전한 상태에서 도금 된 와이어에서 최대의 비대각 MI 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 비대각 MI 효과가 큰 복합와이어를 제작하는 방법을 개발한 것은 금속 코어/자성 쉘 복합 와이어의 자기센서 소재로써의 응용가능성을 높일 것으로 기대된다.

항공 우주 산업의 발전으로 발사체의 연구가 많아지고 있다. 더불어 많은 시험이 진행하고 있고 그에 따라 많은 실패도 발생한다. 발사체는 다른 전자장비보다 위험성이 높기 때문에 실패를 최소화할 수 있어야 한다. 따라서 발사체에 전원을 공급하기 전에 배선을 검증할 필요가 있다. 이에 따라 저항 측정을 통해 배선 상태를 검증하였다. 하지만 이전의 저항측정 방식의 배선 점검은 발사체 회로의 커패시터, 인덕터등의 소자들 때문에 정확한 측정을 할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 TDR 미터를 이용하여 케이블 및 발사체의 연결 상태에서 임피던스를 측정한다. 측정한 정상상태의 임피던스의 기준 값을 설정하기 위해 Z-Segmentation 알고리즘을 사용한다. Z-Segmentation 알고리즘은 우선 임피던스 파형의 피크 값들을 칼만 필터를 이용하여 찾고 찾은 피크값을 Segmentation을 통해 최종 impedance peak segment를 얻는다. 이런 방법으로 배선의 정상 상태에 대한 기준 값으로 설정하고 이를 기준으로 배선 상태를 판정한다.

Switched-inductor (SL) Z-source three-level inverter is a novel high power topology. The SL based impedance network can boost the input dc voltage to a higher value than the single LC impedance network. However, as all the neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverters, the SL Z-source three-level inverter has to balance the neutral-point (NP) potential too. The principle of the inverter is introduced and then the effects of NP potential unbalance are analyzed. A NP balancing method is proposed. Other than the methods for conventional NPC inverter without Z-source impedance network, the upper and lower shoot-through durations are corrected by the feedforward compensation factors. With the proposed method, the NP potential is balanced and the voltage boosting ability of the Z-source network is not affected obviously. Simulations are conducted to verify the proposed method.

In this paper, we compare performance of common-mode rejection between a differential and a non-differential amplifier system with two electrodes. A differential amplifier system is constant for common-mode rejection ratio(CMRR) on the frequency domain. But a non-differential amplifier's CMRR is determined by $Z_{FB}/Z_e$ ($Z_{FB}$ ; feedback impedance, $Z_e$; electrode impedance). There is trade-off between a non-differential amplifier's CMRR and its differential input impedance. And a non-differential amplifier system has some advantages for a bio-potential measurement with two electrodes because a designer can control the impedance between the body and system's common.

We demonstrate that a partial loading of $Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$ (Ni-Zn ferrite) film remarkably improves impedance matching of electrically small $Ba_3Co_2Fe_{24}O_{41}$ ($Co_2Z$) hexaferrite antenna. A 3 ${\mu}m$ thick Ni-Zn ferrite film was deposited on a silicon wafer by the electrophoresis deposition process and post-annealed at $400^{\circ}C$. The fabricated Ni-Zn ferrite film has saturation magnetization of $268emu/cm^3$ and coercivity of 89 Oe. A partial loading of the Ni-Zn ferrite film on the $Co_2Z$ hexaferrite helical antenna increases antenna return loss to 24.7 dB from 9.0 dB of the $Co_2Z$ antenna. Experimental results show that impedance matching and maximum input power transmission to the antenna without additional matching elements can be realized, while keeping almost the same size as the $Co_2Z$ antenna size.

In this study, we have tried to find the optimized design variables of the matching layer which is important part of thickness mode ultrasonic transducer and finally reach the conclusion that the electrical property of piezo-element must be under consideration when the optimized acoustic impedance is estimated. Proper expression of the effective impedance of front load at free resonant frequency(: $Z_{f}$ $^{(0)}$ /) has been induced by introducing the principle of binomial multilayer transformer and gradient based numerical method is utilized to find the most acceptable value of $Z_{ f}$/$^{(0)}$ . Optimized point of acoustic impedance can be calculated directly from $Z_{f}$ $^{(0)}$ using some simple formula which we propose. We also verify our result by both numerical and experimental method and get a good enhancement especially it concern to the bandwidth of ultrasonic transducer.

In this paper, principles of impedance tenchinque and relationship between stroke volume and impedance change were theoretically explained. An impedance cardiograph was designed and constructed. Its reproducibility was verified by experiment. Until now, the peak point of dZ/dt waveform, first derivative of impedance change(${\Delta}$Z) , has been detected by software technique requiring considerable time to process. However in this paper its peak point was found using hardware for saving processing time. Useful cardiac parameters such as stroke volume and contractility of cardiac muscle were measured noninvasively. The reproducibility of the instrument was measured to be better(less than 10%) than that of clinical standard method such as thermodilution (more than 30%). Hence impedance cardiography was found to be better techique for monitoring stroke volume and myocardial contractility for pre and post operation, and pharmacological studies.
