In this paper, we proposed a 13.56 MHz wireless power transfer system using loop antennas with tunable impedance matching circuits. In general, a wireless power transfer system shows an impedance mismatching due to a reflected impedance, because a coupling coefficient is varied with respect to separation distance between two resonating antennas. The proposed system can compensate the effect of this impedance mismatch owing to tunable impedance matching circuits using varactor diodes. Therefore, transmission efficiency is enhanced, moreover, the center frequency of the system is not changed, regardless of separation distance between two antennas. In order to demonstrate the performance of the proposed system, a wireless power transfer system with tunable impedance matching circuits is designed and implemented, which has a pair of loop antennas with a dimension of $30\;cm{\times}30\;cm$ cm. The input return loss, coupling coefficient, efficiency, and input impedance variation with respect to a distance between loop antennas were measured. From measured results, the proposed system shows enhanced performances than the case of the general fixed $50\;{\Omega}$ impedance matching circuits. Therefore, we verified that the proposed wireless power transfer system using the proposed impedance matching scheme will be able to ensure robust operation even when the separation distance of antennas is varied.

This paper presents the approximate analysis method for the symmetric transmission line crossing the aperture in an backplane. The method of moments is used to determine the aperture impedance for the construction of the equivalent transmission line that the aperture impedance apply to the transmission line as the shunt impedance. As the results, the insertion loss increases at the specific frequency range for the impedance matching. In the case of the mismatching, we are confirmed to the insertion gain at the specific frequency. Also the horizontal length of the aperture affects to the transmission line better than vertical length. The measurement of the insertion loss is performed to verify the theoretical analysis.

The recent advancement in the power electronic technique has increased the use of induction motor fed by inverter using high-frequency switching devices. Also the tendency is toward larger size and higher voltage. Therefore, The IGBT (Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor) that is high switching frequency element has been using increase. But, The switching surge voltage was occurred by high switching frequency of inverter has appeared a voltage doubling in the motor input terminal due to mismatching of cable characteristic impedance and motor characteristic impedance. Actually, The Switching surge voltage became the major cause to occur the insulation failure by serious voltage stress in the stator winding of induction motor. The short during rise time of switching surge and cable length is increased, the maximum transient voltage seen at the motor terminals increases. In this paper, Analyzed switching surge transient voltage of power cable pulling is used EMTP(Electromagnetic Transient Program) at the induction motor terminal and in cable.

Most of the loads in industrial power distribution systems are usually balanced and connected to three power systems. However, in the user power distribution systems, partial loads are single & three phase and unbalanced, generating voltage unbalance by the impedance mismatching. Voltage unbalance has detrimental effects on three-phase induction motors, including over heating, line-current unbalance, derating, torque pulsation, low efficiency, etc. This paper presents a scheme on operation states of a three-phase induction motor under the unbalanced voltages with harmonics components. Three-phase voltages applied to the stator winding of the studied induction motor are controlled by respectively adjusting not only fundamental but also harmonics components. Harmonic components at the voltage unbalanced factor(VUF) of the three-phase source voltages can then be examined the different values of VUF on machine's operation characteristics.

Analysis of the electromagnetic environment on topside of a ship is needed for optimal arrangement of all kinds of antennas to be installed on the shipboard in order to minimize the probability of EMI of equipment and subsystems in real ship after construction phase. In this paper we analyze the characteristics of electric-fields such as radiation patterns and near E-fields of V/UHF antennas installed on a shipboard. We compare simulated results with measurements on the real ship for near E-fields to verify the reliability of the computed electromagnetic environment. Although there are various factors causing errors such as cable loss and impedance mismatching etc. when measuring near E-field, both data show similar trends in the range of the acceptable tolerance.

To improve the reliability of power-line communication systems, the measurement and analysis has been proceeded in many power-line channel environments. In spite of the wired channel, power line channel has many multi-paths that are changing with load-variation, line-interconnection, impedance mismatching and so on. We accordingly need an analysis method based on the multi-path channel impulse response. Recently, a method to describe the homogeneous Power-line network has been published[1]. In this paper the modified method that can describe both the homogeneous and non -homogeneous power-line network has presented.

Two noise reduction systems are proposed in order to overcome the geometric restriction of the reactive muffler such as an expansion chamber. First, membrane is installed as a part of a duct wall and an air cavity is covered outside membrane. Second, membrane is installed inside a duct, which gives no volume change of the duct. Structural-acoustic coupling between membrane and fluid inside the cavity and duct causes rapid impedance mismatching and thereby reflected wave. Theoretical prediction is conducted by using modal expansion approach. The results are compared with the experimental results, which show better noise reduction performance than an expansion chamber.

Voltage unbalance is generated by the load and impedance mismatching at the 3-phase 4-wire system of customer load. Voltage unbalance factor can be changed by the voltage amplitude or phase angle, and both. A small voltage unbalance is connected to high current unbalance. If the voltage unbalance is generated at the joint system of 1-phase and 3-phase load, Induction motor due to the current unbalance increase is generated loss, noise and torque ripple. In order to analyze the effect by voltage unbalance, it is necessary to the consideration of amplitude and phase angle. In this paper, We analyzed the effects that induction motor is affected by asymmetric voltage unbalance

Dc microgrid has the advantage of high efficiency as compared to the ac system. Droop method has been realized to suppress the current mismatching among the distributed sources. However, this method involves distribution loss due to the line impedance. In this paper, a novel droop method is proposed to minimize the distribution loss as well as the voltage deviation by adjusting the droop coefficient. The proposed droop method is verified by using the simulation based on PSCAD/EMTDC.
