The U-slot patch antenna has been found experimentally to provide impedance and gain bandwidths. Experiment and simulation results include impedance bandwidth, copolar and crosspolar-pattern characteristics and gain measurements. If one of the parameters such as patch width or feed position is varied, U-slot patch can also function as a dual-frequency antenna.

This paper presents a method of obtaining transmission network equivalents from the network's response to the pulse excitation signal. Proposed method is base on Prony signal analysis and jtransfer function identification technique. As a result Thevenin-type of discrete-time filter model can be generated. It can reproduce the driving point impedance characteristic of the network.

We propose comb-line filter using SIR(Stepped Impedance Resonator) with two transmission line. The coupling structure of the filter is double coupled line where two coupled lines are linked with cascade. We find out the inverter function of the filter. using even and odd mode impedance. The merits of the filter are that first, we can design transmission zero point at any frequency that we wanted without using lumped elements : chip capacitors and inductors. Second, we can design small size filters. To validate the inverter function of the filter with double coupled line we designed and fabricated two-pole band pass filter with the proposed filter structure.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for Li secondary battery. This paper describes temperature dependence of conductivity, impedance spectroscopy, electrochemical properties of PVDF electrolytes as a function of a mixed ratio. Polyvinylidene(PVDF) based polymer electrolyte films were prepared by thermal gellification method of preweighed PVDF, plasticizer and Li salt. The conductivity of PVDF electrolytes was 10$\^$-3/S/cm. 25PVDFPC$\_$10/EC$\_$10/LiClO$_4$ electrolyte shows the better conductivity of the others. 25PVDFPC$\_$10/EC$\_$10/LiClO$_4$electrolyte remains stable up to 4.7V vs. Li/Li$\^$+/. Steady state current method and ac impedance used for the determination of transference numbers in PVDFD electrolyte film. The transference number of 25PVDFPC$\_$10/EC$\_$10/LiClO$_4$electrolyte is 0.58.

A numerical approach is presented for the analysis of the forced vibration of a rigid surface foundation with arbitrary shape. In the analysis, the foundation is discretized into a number of sub squaree-lements. The dynamic response within each sub-element is described by the Green's function, which is obtained by the Fourier-Bessel transform and Precise Integration Method (PIM). Incorporating the displacement boundary condition and force equilibrium of the foundation, it obtains a system of linear algebraic equation in terms of the contact forces within each sub-element. Solving the equation leads to the desired dynamic impedance functions of the foundation. Numerical results are obtained for foundation not only with simple geometrical configurations, such as rectangular and circular foundation, but also the case of irregularly shaped foundation. Several comparisons between the proposed approach and other methods are made. Very good agreement is reached. Also, parametric studies are carried out on the dynamic response of foundation. Addressed in this study are the effects of Poisson's ratio, material damping and contact condition of soil-foundation interface. Several conclusions are drawn the significance of the factors.

Since DC ground resistance, which is a good index of the performance of a grounding system in low frequency. does not show the performance in transient state. We measured ground impedances in frequency domain ranging from 0.1 Hz to 900 KHz maximum to quantify the transient grounding performance of 4 types of grounding system. Transfer function was derived from the measured frequency-dependant ground impedance of a grounding grid. A simulation has been performed to verify the transfer function using EMTP (Electro-Magnetic Transient Program).

In this study, bioelectrical impedance analysis, which has been used to assess an alteration in intracellular fluid (ICF) of the body, was applied to detect intravenous infiltration. The experimental results are described as follows. Firstly, when infiltration occurred, the resistance gradually decreased with time and frequency i.e., the resistance decreased with increasing time, proportional to the amount of infiltrated intravenous (IV) solution. At each frequency, the resistance gradually decreased with time, indicating the IV solution (also blood) accumulated in the extracellular fluid (ECF) (including interstitial fluid). Secondly, the resistance ratio started to increase at infiltration, showing the highest value after 1.4 min of infiltration, and gradually decreased thereafter. Thirdly, the impedance ($Z_C$) of cell membrane decreased significantly (especially at 50 kHz) during infiltration and gradually decreased thereafter. Fourthly, Cole-Cole plot indicated that the positions of (R, $X_C$) shifted toward left owing to infiltration, reflecting the IV solution accumulated in the ECF. The resistance ($R_0$) at zero frequency decreased continuously over time, indicating that it is a vital impedance parameter capable of detecting early infiltration during IV infusion. Finally, the mechanism of the current flowing through the ECF, cell membrane, and ICF in the subcutaneous tissues was analyzed as a function of time before and after infiltration, using an equivalent circuit model of the human cell. In conclusion, it was confirmed that the infiltration could be detected early using these impedance parameters during the infusion of IV solution.

Grounding insures a reference potential point for electric devices and also provides a law resistance path for fault or transient currents in the earth. The grounding impedance as a function of frequency is necessary for determining its performance since fault or transient currents could contain a wide range of frequencies. A concrete rod electrode is one of the commonly used grounding electrodes in electric distribution systems. In this paper, the grounding impedance of concrete rods has been measured in frequency raging from 60[Hz] up to 100[kHz] and an equivalent model of the grounding impedance is identified from the measured values. The grounding impedance under study when a typical lightning surge is injected into the grounding system was simulated numerically and graphically through the use of the EDSA software program.

In this paper, by applying the constant current principle we develop an impedance measurement system which can measure the high precision impedance of various electric materials by using microprocessor. This measurement system board has an interface device for acquiring digital data from an external device including an impedance measuring device, and system software is also developed by a firmware program executed on such an embedded board. It can measure the high precision impedance of a specific band with 1/32768 precision by using 15-bit ADC(analog to digital converter) and calculate it to the five digits to the right of the decimal point(fraction part). Data is transmitted through a USB interface of a general computer and a measuring device to manage digital data. An impedance measurement system equipped with a communication function capable of a more general and easy-to-use interface than other equipment is developed and verified.
