This paper describes the characteristics for ground impedance of counterpoise according to position of auxiliary probe and frequency using the fall-of-potential method and the testing techniques to minimize the measuring errors are proposed. The fall-of-potential method is theoretically based on the potential and current measuring principle and the measuring error is primarily caused by the position of auxiliary probes. In order to analyze the effects of ground impedance due to the distance of the current probe and frequency, ground impedances were measured in case that the distance of current probe was located from 10[m] to 100[m] and the measuring frequency was ranged in 55 [Hz], 128[Hz], 342[Hz], and 513[Hz]. The results could be help to determine the position of auxiliary probe when the ground impedance was measured at grounding system.

본 연구에서는 2-port probe를 설계, 제작하고, 이를 이용하여 유전율과 투자율을 동시에 측정해내는 기법을 연구하였다. 기존에는 유전율 측정을 위해 끝이 open되어 있는 1-port probe클 주로 이용하였지만 이는 유전율만이 측정이 가능하고 주파수 대역에 한계가 있었다. 2-port probe는 유전율과 투자율이 동시에 측정이 가능하며 주파수의 한계를 극복하였다. 2-port probe를 등가화 하여 이를 수식적으로 해석했을 경우 수많은 변수들이 발생되는데 이것을 여러 수치기법들을 이용하여 정리한 후, 유전율을 알고 있는 용액들을 이용하여 보정하였다. 또한 2-port probe에 약간의 길이 변화를 주어 주파수대역의 변화를 실험을 통해 비교 분석하였다.

This study was conducted to develop a soil moisture meter using capacitance probe. A parallel cylinder type capacitance probe (C-probe) was fabricated The 5 MHz of crystal oscillator was constructed to detect the capacitance change of the C-probe with moist soil. A third order polynomial regression model for volumetric water content having oscillation frequency changes at 5 MHz as independent variables presented the determination coefficient of 0.979 and root mean square error of $0.031\;cm^{3}cm^{3}$ for all soil samples. A prototype soil moisture meter consisting of the sample container, C-probe, oscillator, frequency counter and related signal procession units presented the correlation coefficient of 0.987 and the root mean square error of $0.032\;cm^{3}cm^{3}$ as compared with the oven drying method for unknown soil samples.

In this paper, a novel time-domain measurement technique on a high parallelism probe card with protection resistors installed is proposed. The measured signal amplitude decreases when the measurement is performed by Needle Auto Calibration (NAC) probing on a high parallelism probe card with installed resistors. Therefore, the original signals must be carefully reconstructed, and the compensation coefficient, which is related to the number of channel branches and the value of protection resistors, must be introduced. The accuracy of the reconstructed signals is analyzed based on the varying number of channel branches and various protection resistances. The results demonstrate that the proposed technique is appropriate for evaluating the overall signal performance of probe cards with Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), which enhances the efficiency of probe card performance test dramatically.

In this paper, an equivalent circuit model for near-field noise emission is proposed to implement a multimedia operation-monitoring system for mobile devices. The proposed model includes a magnetic field probe that captures noise emissions from multimedia components, and a transfer function for near-field noise coupling from a transmission line source to a magnetic field probe. The proposed model was empirically verified with transfer function measurements of near-field noise emissions from 10 kHz to 500 MHz. With the proposed model, a magnetic field probe was optimally designed for noise measurement on a camera module and an audio codec in a mobile device. It was demonstrated that the probe successfully captured the near-field noise emissions, depending on the operating conditions of the multimedia components, with enhanced sensitivity from a conventional reference probe.

Micro probe with Ni-Co tip was designed. Unit processes for fabricating the micro probe were developed. We are investigated the micro probe tip using by Ni-Co alloy. One-step and three-step needle was fabricated by plating process, CMP, and photolithography process. The plating thickness was varied by current density and time. Futher data will be extract by different process conditions.

Two artificial neural networks (ANN) are used to model the electric coupling probe in the combline resonators. One is used to analyze and synthesize the electric probe, and the other is used to correct errors between the results of the analysis and the synthesis ANNs and the fabrication results. The ANNs for the analysis and the synthesis of the electric probe are trained using the physical dimensions of the electric probe and the corresponding coupling bandwidth which is obtained using the finite element method. The ANNs for the error correction are trained using a very small set of the measurement results. Once trained, the ANN models provide the correct result approaching the accuracy of the measurement. The results from the ANN models show fairly good agreement with those of the measurement and they can be used as good initial design values.

In this paper, the eddy current signals come from a pair oi transmit-receive (T/R) pancake coil on ECT array Probe are analyzed with the variations of the lift-of and of the distance between transmit and receive coils. To obtain the electromagnetic characteristics of the probes, the governing equation describing the eddy current problems is derived from Maxwell's equation and is solved using three-dimensional finite element method. Eddy current signals from T/R coils on ECT array probe have quite different characteristics compared with ones from impedance coil on rotating pancake coil probe. The results in this paper ran be helpful when the field eddy current signals from ECT array probe are evaluated.

Langmuir probe was housed in the sounding rocket to test the probe's performance and to find the environmental parameters at the F layer of the ionosphere. The gold plated cylindrical probe had a length of 14㎝ and a diameter of 0.096 ㎝. The applied voltage to the probe consisted of 0.9 sec fixed positive bias followed by 0.1 sec of down/up sweep. This ensured that the probe swept through the probe's current-voltage characteristic at least once during 1 second quiescent periods enabling the electron temperature to be measured during the undisturbed times of the flight. The experimental results showed good agreement of the temperature distribution with IRI model at the lower F layer. In the upper layer, the experimental temperatures were 100-200K lower than the IRI model's because of the different geomagnetic conditions: averaged conditions were used in IRI model and specific conditions were reflected in the experiment.

Herein, we discuss the in situ measurement of the electron temperature in the ionosphere/plasmasphere by means of DC Langmuir probes. Major instruments which have been reported are a conventional DC Langmuir probe, whose probe voltage is swept; a pulsed probe, which uses pulsed bias voltage; a rectification probe, which uses sinusoidal signal; and a resonance cone probe, which uses radio wave propagation. The content reviews past observations made with the instruments above. We also discuss technical factors that should be taken into account for reliable measurement, such as problems related to the contamination of electrodes and the satellite surface. Finally, we discuss research topics to be studied in the near future.
