Real slug and bubbly flows were measured using a three-ring impedance meter that can efficiently measure the void fraction of two-phase flows in a tube. First, the fitting curves between the signal from the impedance meters and the void fraction were found. The impedance meter had different fitting curves for slug and bubbly flows that had the same void fraction. An impedance meter should choose one of the two fitting curves according to the flow pattern, and the flow patterns can be recognized using the measured void fraction. The velocities and sizes of the bubbles were calculated using the void fraction curves measured by two impedance meters.

In this paper, we propose two noise parameter measurement methods using spectrum analyzer. First method, we measure a noise correlation matrix using the 6-port network, and we calculate noise parameters using measured a noise correlation matrix. Second method, we directly measure noise figures of the DUT for source impedance changes, and then noise parameters are extracted from the measured noise figures. In order to measure a noise figure, we present a method of measuring a noise figure of the DUT that have arbitrary source impedances using spectrum analyzer and a method of eliminating a noise effect of a impedance tuner. Finally, the noise parameters of a passive and active DUT using proposed two methods are compared. The comparison shows that the two results obtained from for the two methods give almost identical noise parameters. The noise parameters measured by 6-port network accurately predict measured noise figures of the DUT for source impedance changes, and noise parameters measured by 6-port network is verified from the comparison.

This paper presents an arbitrary impedance transformer with unequal split, based on S- to admittance parameter conversion. When compared even/ odd- mode analysis, the parameter conversion design method constitutes a simple design method to include phase delay information and arbitrary port impedances and asymmetrical configurations. To validate this design method, we designed a 50 to $12.5{\Omega}$ impedance transformer with a 3:1 unequal power split, at an operating frequency of 1 GHz. To implement the proposed impedance transformer, the low impedance transmission lines of calculated result are fabricated by the transmission line connected shunt open stub. Good experimental performances were obtained, in full agreement with simulated results.

본 논문에서는 커넥터의 S-파라미터로 특성임피던스를 계산하고 커넥터의 성능개선을 위해 설계변경을 한다. FEM(Finite Elements Method) 시뮬레이터로 커넥터의 S-파라미터를 계산하고 회로 시뮬레이터에서 동일한 R, L, C 값을 가지는 등가 회로모델을 추출한다. 인덕턴스와 커패시턴스로 특성임피던스를 계산하고 임피던스 부정합 상태를 확인한다. 특성임피던스 공식으로부터 커패시턴스를 증가시켜 임피던스 정합을 유도하고 커패시턴스는 신호선의 평행한 면적을 확장하여 증가시킨다. 결과적으로 반사손실이 약 5 dB 개선되었고 신호선 유효면적의 증가로 임피던스가 감소하여 삽입손실도 개선되었다.

This paper proposed that a small type conductor surface open-loop antenna model for the moisture sensor and its operating characteristics were analysed numerically by using the moment methods. The numerical analysis results from this antenna model showed that this antenna could match the input impedance to $50[{\Omega}]$ by changing parameters of the antenna in the frequency range from 300[MHz] to 500[MHz]. This model also showed that the open-loop radius. height and wire width give a tremendous influence on the antenna resonance variation. while the loaded inductance values affects the variation or the input impedance at the resonance frequencies.

A two-phase (gas-liquid) flow is a common phenomenon in fluidic systems, e.g., fluidic systems in the electro-magnetic or nuclear power generation industry and in the steel industry. The measurement of a two-phase flow is important for guaranteeing the safety of the system and for achieving the desired performance. The measurement of the void fraction, which is one of the parameters of the two-phase flow that determines the pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient, is very important. The time resolution achieved by employing the impedance method that can be used to calculate the void fraction from the impedance of the fluid is high because the electric characteristics are taken into account. Therefore, this method can be employed to accurately measure the void fraction without distortion of flow in real time by placing electrodes on the walls of the tubes. Coney analytically studied a ring-type impedance meter, which can be employed in a circular tube. The aim of this study is to experimentally verify the robustness of a three-ring impedance meter to variations in the electric conductivity of the fluid; this robustness was suggested by Coney but was not experimentally verified.

본 논문에서는 22.9kV 고압 가공 배전선로를 고속 전력선 통신을 위한 통신 채널로 사용하기 위하여 전력선 통신 주파수 $2MHz{\sim}30MHz$ 대역에 대한 특성 파라미터를 해석하였다. 먼저 고압 배전선로에 주로 사용되는 ACSR-OC 케이블에 대한 구조를 분석하고 이의 특성 파라미터로부터 분포정수와 특성 임피던스를 구하였다. 또한 등각 사상법을 이용하여 유전체가 코팅된 평행 2선식 고압 배전선로의 정전용량 및 유효유전상수를 계산하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 고압 배전선로의 분포정수와 특성임피던스를 구하였으며, 특성임피던스는 케이블 단면적에 따라서 $470{\ell}{\sim}530{\ell}$ 사이의 분포를 나타내었다. 특히, 특성 임피던스는 지면을 완전 전기도체로 가정할 경우에 비하여 실제 지면의 도전율과 유전상수를 고려할 때 20MHz 이하의 대역에서 보다 높은 값을 갖는 것을 확인하였다.

In a passive UHF RFID system, the impedance matching between tag antenna and chip as well as the protocol parameter settings in a reader plays important role in determination of the maximum read-range. Almost no paper, however, has dealt with the above issues in relation with the maximum read range. In this paper, two known methods (of using the value from data sheets and proprietary RFID tester) and our proposing method in chip impedance evaluation are compared in terms of maximum read range. The read range of tags whose antenna impedance is conjugate matched with the chip impedance obtained from the proposed method is improved maximum 73 % more than that of tags from the other methods.

This study is focused on the correct measurement of the equations for the determination of the impedance parameters-the differential capacity of the double layer $C_d$, solution resistance $R_Q$, transfer resitance $R_i$, and adsorption pseudcapacity $C_{\phi}$/ The application of only an imaginary part of complex function of ${\omega}$ at the sinusoidal steady state indicates the following equations of total impedance: at low frequency $|Z_{LF}|=1/{\omega}_1\;C_{\phi}\;{\sqrt{1+{{\omega}_1}^2/{\omega}^2}$, at high frequency $|Z_{HF}|={\omega}_2/({\omega}_1{\omega}_3C{\phi})({\omega}^2+{{\omega}_2}^2)\;{\sqrt{{({\omega}^2+{\omega}_2{\omega}_3)}^2+{({\omega}_2{\omega}-{\omega_3{\omega})^2}}$. The values of the total impedance of cell, phase angle, and cell current that are necessary for the calculations of impedance parameters were experimentally measured from 200 to 6000Hz for the following supporting electrolytes, 0.5M $Na_2SO_4$, 1M NaCl, 19.373% sea water, 1M HCl, 1M $KNO_3$ and for $10^{-2}M$ KI and 60mM DBNA (Di-iso-Butylnitrosoamine) in these supporting electrolytes. The derived equations in this study shows that the values of impedance parameters of $C_d,\;C_{\phi},\;R_i\;and\;R_Q\;are\;15{\sim}40\;{\mu}F/cm^2,\;162{\sim}758\;{\mu}F/cm^2\;11.5{\sim}57.6\;ohm{\cdot}cm^2\;and\;0.5{\times}10^{-2}{\sim}4.1{\times}10^{-2}\;ohm{\cdot}cm^2$ respectively.

이 논문에서는 음향 임피던스를 제어하는 능동형 소음 제어 방법을 연구하였다. 음향 임피던스 제어는 기존의 적응 제어 알고리즘 대신 임피던스의 크기 및 위상 최적화를 통하여 닫힌 관의 끝단에 음파의 반사를 최소화 하는 임피던스를 계산하고 제어함으로써 소음을 저감시킨다. 그리고 음향 임피던스 제어 방법을 끝단이 개방되어 있고, 중앙에 스피커가 있는 관에 적용시킨다. 이 경우에는 개방된 음장에서 음향 전달이 최소화하기 위한 임피던스를 계산하고, 음향 임피던스 제어를 통한 소음 저감을 확인한다. 이를 위해 스피커, 마이크로폰, 진동측정용 레이저 바이브로미터, 그리고 능동 소음 제어 하드웨어로 구성된 시스템을 구축하고 검증하였다.
