The main advantage of the TLM analysis method is the ease with which even the most complicated transmission line structures. In this paper, using symmetrical condensed node(SCN), the TLM numerical technique has been successfully a lied to microstrip meander line. A detailed technique of the symmetrical condensed node(SCN) may be used to model planar microstrip transmission line is presented. Also, the S-parameters $S_{11}$ and $S_{21}$ of two types of microstrip meander line have been computed. From obtained results, TLM analysis is shown to be an efficient method for modeling complicated structure of planar microstrip transmission line. The TLM results presented here are useful in the design of microwave integrated circuits at higher frequencies region.

Great performance of many semiconductor devices requirs the use of low-resistance ohmic contact. Typically, transmission line method (TLM) patterns are used to measure the specific contact resistance between silicon and metal. In this works, we investigate contact resistance for metal dependent (Cr/Ag, Ni) using TLM pattern based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer. The electrode with Ni linearly increases contact resistance as the pattern distance increase from $15{\mu}m$ to $75{\mu}m$ in accumulation part, but non-linearly increase in inversion part. In additional, the electrode with Cr/Ag linearly increases contact resistance as the pattern distance increase from $15{\mu}m$ to $75{\mu}m$ in inversion part, but non-linearly increase in accumulation part.

일반적으로 비선형 정자계 문제를 해석하기 위해서 뉴튼-�N슨(Newton -Raphson : NR)법이 이용된다. 하지만 뉴튼-�N슨법의 경우 각 반복계산 때마다 새로운 선형 시스템의 해를 구하기 위해서 LU-decomposition과 같은 과정을 매 반복계산 때마다 시행해야 하므로 절점(node)의 수가 증가할 경우 계산시간이 증가한다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해서 최근 TLM (Transmission Line Modeling)법이 새로운 반복계산법으로 비선형 유한 요소 해석에 적용되었으며 뉴튼-�N슨법에 비해 훨씬 우수한 특성을 보여주었다. 하지만 지금까지의 TLM법은 2차원의 정식화만 이루어졌고 3차원에는 적용되지 못한 것이 사실이다. 본 논문에서는 3차원의 비선형 정자계 문제에 TLM법을 적용할 수 있는 수식을 최초로 제안하며 3차원 코어(core)모델에 대해 TLM법을 적용하여 그 타당성을 검증하기로 한다. 또한 3차원 비선형 TLM법을 이용한 해석 결과가 뉴튼-�N슨법에 의한 결과와 완전히 일치하며 수렴 속도에 있어서도 훨씬 향상된 결과를 나타냄을 보이도록 하겠다.

In the case of the large power transformer, the grain-oriented material is usually used. So, to obtain more accurate results, anisotropy and non-linearity of the material must be considered. The Newton-Raphson(NR) method is generally used for analyzing these non-linear properties, but it consumes so much time, especially when the number of nodes is large or the shape of the model is complex. The transmission line modeling (TLM) method is successfully adopted to the analysis of non-linear properties with FEM, but it has not been adopted to the analysis of the anisotropic material. In this paper, the formulation of the TLM method considering anisotropy is developed and the adoption to the 3-phase transformer is presented.

Contact resistivity between silver electrodes and the emitter layer of a silicon solar cell wafer has been measured using either the circular transmission line method or the linear transmission line method. The circular transmission line method has an advantage over the linear transmission line method, in that it does not require an additional process for mesa etching to eliminate the leakage current. In contrast, the linear transmission line method has the advantage that its specimen can be acquired directly from a silicon solar cell. In this study, measured resistance data for the calculation of contact resistivity is compared for these two methods, and the mechanism by which the linear transmission line method can more realistically reflect the impact of the width and thickness of a silver electrode on contact resistivity is investigated.

자성체를 포함하는 자기 시스템을 해석하는데 있어 비선형과 히스테리시스(Hysteresis)는 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 특히 재질의 히스테리시스 특성을 유한요소법(FEM)을 이용하여 계산하기 위해서 많은 방법들이 소개되었다. 단순 반복법이나 Fixed Point Technique(FPT), M-iteration 법. 뉴튼 랍슨 (Newton-Raphson) 법 등이 그 예이다. 이 방법들 중에서 뉴튼 랍슨법은 빠른 수렴 특성으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 뉴튼-랍슨법을 이용하여 히스테리시스 재질을 해석할 때는 매 반복 계산 때마다 계 계수행렬(System Stiffness matrix)이 변화하기 때문에 요소의 수가 매우 많을 경우 역행렬을 계산하기 위한 시간이 많이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 특히 히스테리시스 해석의 경우에는 주로 time-step법을 이용하여 계산하므로 가장 시간이 많이 소요되는 행렬 계산 시간을 단축함으로써 전체 계산 시간을 크게 줄일 수 있다. 최근 비선형 해석에서 TLM(Transmission Line Modeling)법이 도입되어 비선형 해석 시의 계산 시간을 크게 단축할 수 있게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 비선형 해석에 적용된 TLM법을 히스테리시스 해석에 적용하는 방법을 새로 제안한다. TLM법은 뉴튼-랍슨법과 달리 각 반복 계산 때마다 계수행렬식이 변화하지 않고 단지 구동항만 변하기 때문에 행렬의 LU를 한 번 저장해 두면 forward와 backward substitution만 시행하면 된다. 따라서 요소의 수가 증가할 경우 TLM법을 사용하면 뉴튼-랍슨법에 비해 매우 큰 계산 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 TLM법을 히스테리시스에 적용하는 방법을 기술하고 간단한 모델에 이 방법을 적용하여 뉴튼-랍슨법과의 비교를 통해 TLM법의 효용성을 보인다.

As the industry develops, they are interested in the fault of electric machines and the effect on human beings by electromagnetic fields and waves which generate through much use of electric machines and appliances. In foreign country, they confirmed the standard about electromagnetic interference and compatibility(EMI/EMC) of electromagnetic fields and waves generating electricity transmission/distribution equipments and electric appliance. In Korea, such criteria are applied too. Before EMI/EMC standard is applied, it is important to prepare the plan to predict and reduce electromagnetic fields and waves which generate in the inner and the outer part of electric machinery. To solve such a problem, they calculated Maxwell's equations by finite element method(FEM) and finite difference method(FDM) in most papers. However, these methods have the disadvantage that mathematical expansions are complex and need much memory allocations for grid and mesh generations. In this paper, we introduce transmission line matrix(TLM) method that media of which trains consists are regarded as transmission lines for electromagnetic field calculation in Korean High Speed Train, calculate the electric and magnetic field, and analyze the results.

Most numerical techniques such as FEM, BEM, and MOM are able to analize electromagnetic scattering problems from arbitrary shapes. Although these methods could be applied to compute electromagnetic scattering problems in frequency domain, it was limited for electrodynamic problem in time domain. In this paper, electromagnetic scattering problem from Fresnel zone plate lens are considered. Some numerical results computed by TLM are compared with Kirchhoff's approximation and PO method.

Conjugated oligomers have been already used as active layers in field effect transistors, photodiodes and electroluminescent devices. Particularly thiophene oligomers such $\alpha$ -sexithiophene($\alpha$-6T) attract great interest for its prospective app1ications in large-area flexible displays. In this study, we investigated the contact properties between the organic semiconductor $\alpha$-6T and metals such as Au(Gold), Ag(Silver), Cr(Chromium), Al(Aluminum), Cr(Chromium). Using the Transmission Line Model(TLM) method, specific contact resistances of the metal lines in contact with the $\alpha$-6T were determined. From the current-voltage characteristics, electrical conductivity of the $\alpha$-6T films is found.
