Abstract

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.

본 논문에서는 정전류(constant current) 원리를 적용하여 각종 전기재료의 특정 대역 고정밀 임피던스 측정이 가능한 임피던스 측정 시스템을 마이크로프로세서를 사용하여 개발한다. 본 측정 시스템 보드에는 임피던스 측정장치를 포함하여 외부장치에서 디지털 데이터 취득을 위한 인터페이스 장치를 갖추고 있으며, 이와 같은 임베디드 보드에서 실행되는 펌웨어 프로그램으로 시스템 소프트웨어를 작성한다. 그리고 15-비트 ADC (analog-to digital converter)를 사용하여 특정 대역의 정밀 임피던스를 1/32768 정밀도로 측정하여 소수점 5자리까지 연산하여 출력할 수 있으며, 디지털 데이터를 관리하기 위해 개발된 측정장치와 일반 컴퓨터의 USB 인터페이스를 통해 데이터를 전송하여, 여타 측정 장비들 보다 범용적이고 사용이 용이한 인터페이스가 가능한 통신기능을 탑재한 임피던스 측정시스템을 개발하고 그 정밀도를 측정하여 검증한다.
