  • Finite element model of a cMUT is constructed using the commercial code ANSYS to analyze the cross talk mechanism. Calculation results of the complex load impedance seen by single capacitor cells are presented, and then followed by a calculation of the plane wave real load impedance seen by a parallel combination of many cells that are used to make a transducer. Cross talk between 1-D array elements is found to be due to two main sources: coupling through a Stoneley wave propagating at the transducer-water interface and coupling through Lamb waves propagating in the substrate. To reduce the cross talk level, the effect of various structural variations of the substrate are investigated, which include a change of its thickness and etched trenches or polymer walls between array elements.

  • Acoustic characteristics of a sound absorbing material can be identified, if the characteristic impedance and propagation constants are known, which have generally been determined experimentally. One easy method determining these two essential parameters is to measure the one dimensional wave characteristics in the impedance tube. In th udy, the effects of backing conditions on the impedance tube measurement have been examined using several pairs of generally used end conditions. The results showed that the measured values are similar for most pairs of end conditions: however, it was observed that the measured characteristic impedance for different thickness did not agree well for some pairs. In this work, the multi termination method, using three or more known backing con ns, was suggested to reduce such random errors, which are mostly caused by the test procedure. Employing three terminations as a set, comprised of a rigid end, an end with porous material, and an end with a backing cavity, it was demonstrated that improved measured results could be obtained for an open cell PU foam varying widely with three different thicknesses.

  • This paper proposes a floating-type wave energy conversion system that consists of a mechanical part (yo-yo vibrating system, motion rectifying system, and power transmission system) and electrical part (power generation system). The yo-yo vibrating system, which converts translational input to rotational motion, is modeled as a single degree-of-freedom system. It can amplify the wave input via the resonance phenomenon and enhance the energy conversion efficiency. The electromechanical model is established from impedance matching of the mechanical part to the electrical system. The performance was analyzed at various wave frequencies and damping ratios for a wave input acceleration of 0.14 g. The maximum output occurred at the resonance frequency and optimal load resistance, where the power conversion efficiency and electrical output power reached 48% and 290 W, respectively. Utilizing the resonance phenomenon was found to greatly enhance the performance of the wave energy converter, and there exists a maximum power point at the optimum load resistance.

  • This paper presents calculated results for the infinite phased arrays of the probe-fed rectagualr microstrip patches. A numerical model that is based on a rigorous Green's function and galerkin solutionsis is described. In an arbitrary scan plane, the input impedance and the input reflection coefficient versus the scand angle are calculated. The effects of substrate parameters on the phased arry antenna are considered. The scan blindness phenomenon due to the surface wave is observed and the input impedance bandwidth in the arbitrary scan plane is calculated.

  • In this paper, a design method of matching layers is presented for the sandwich type broad band underwater acoustic vibrators. The characteristic impedances of matching layers are determined to be matched to the characteristic impedance of head mass material. For the dynamic characteristic analysis of the sandwich type transducers, one dimensional FEM technique is also introduced. A test vibrator with the quarter wave matching layers has been designed to verify the proposed method. And the wide band characteristics of the input impedance and transmitting voltage response (TVR) are investigated.

  • A method for high impedance fault(HIF) detection based on wavelet transform is presented in this paper. HIF is detected and classified by obtaining the energy distribution curve from the wavelet coefficients at each level. The energy distribution of each transient disturbance has unique deviation from sinusoidal wave in particular energy level, which is adopted to provide reliable classification of the type of transient.

  • In this paper, we present design methods for a series-fed microstrip patch array operating at X-band frequency. The array consists of 18 rectangular patches connected to 3 quarter-wave impedance transformers. The power divider is designed for the uniform element excitation. The element excitation is then made to be tapered by increasing the input impedance of elements located at array edges. The designed antenna is fabricated and tested. Results of test show a fair agreement with the prediction.

  • The transient characteristics of grounding systems are very important in the insulation design of electrical installations and depend on the shape and size of electrodes, soil resistivity and the magnitude and wave of the injection current. This paper establishes an algorithm to compute the surge impedance of two or more grounding systems using the Laplace Transformation technique and deals with the analysis of the transient characteristics on grounding systems.
