We have investigated equivalent-circuit analysis of organic light-emitting diodes in $ITO/TPD/Alq_3/Al$. Complex impedance Z of the device was measured in the frequency range of $40Hz{\sim}1MHz$. We are able to interpret the frequency-dependent response in terms of equivalent-circuit model of contact resistance $R_s$ in series with two parallel combination of $R_{TPD},\;C_{TPD}\;and\;R_{Alq3},\;C_{Alq3}$.

Grounding insures a reference potential point for electric devices and also provides a low resistance path for fault currents in the earth. The ground impedance as a function of frequency is necessary for determining its performance since fault currents could contain a wide range of frequencies. In this paper, the ground impedance of Magic rods which are commercially available has been measured in frequency ranging from 0[Hz] up to 100[kHz] and an equivalent circuit model, transfer function model of the ground impedance are identified from the measured values.

Grounding insures a reference potential point for electric devices and also provides a low resistance path for fault currents in the earth. The ground impedance as a function of frequency is necessary for determining its performance since fault currents could contain a wide range of frequencies. A cower rod electrode is the most commonly used grounding electrode in electric distribution systems. In this paper, the ground impedance of cower rods has been measured in frequency ranging from 60[Hz] up to 100[kHz] and an equivalent circuit model, transfer function model of the ground impedance are identified from the measured values.

Battery diagnosis is vital to battery-based applications because it ensures system reliability by avoiding battery failure. This paper presents a novel intelligent battery charger with an online diagnosis function to circumvent interruptions in system operation. The charger operates in normal charging and diagnosing modes. The diagnosis function is performed with the impedance spectroscopy technique, which is achieved by injecting a sinusoidal voltage excitation signal to the battery terminals without the need for additional hardware. The impedance spectrum of the battery is calculated based on voltage excitation and current response with the aid of an embedded digital lock in amplifier in a digital signal processor. The measured impedance data are utilized in the application of the complex nonlinear least squares method to extract the battery parameters of the equivalent circuit. These parameters are then compared with the reference values to reach a diagnosis. A prototype of the proposed charger is applied to four valve-regulated lead-acid batteries to measure AC impedance. The results are discussed.

The electrochemical behavior of glassy carbon and PVDF synthesis graphite materials with compact surface have been characterized by impedance spectroscopy. The Faraday-impedance both carbon materials were depended highly on polarization and the difference of electrochemical behavior accord to structure of surface between glassy carbon and synthesis graphite was represented, in these evaluated equivalent circuits, PVDF synthesis graphite was indicated with form that is added resistance and capacitance by the hydrophobic binder to glassy carbon equivalent circuit.

This paper presents a method for the development of the impedance locus to test the dynamic characteristics of protective relays. Specifically, using the proposed method, the impedance locus can comprise three impedance points, and the speed of impedance trajectory can be adjusted by frequency deviation. This paper is divided into two main sections. The first section deals with the configuration of impedance locus with voltage magnitude, total impedance magnitude, and impedance angle. The second section discusses the control of the locus speed with the means of the deviation between two frequencies. The proposed method is applied to two machine equivalent systems with offline simulation (i.e., PSCAD) and real-time simulation (i.e., real-time simulation environment) to demonstrate its effectiveness.

The simplified equivalent by using the short circuit impedance has been used for analyzing the prospective transient recovery voltage of the large power system. But it sometimes generates untorelable error in the rate-of-rise of TRV when using the Thevenin equivalent source. This paper provides the new equivalent by using the multi-port theory. The application of the new method to the sample system gives satisfactory accuracy compared with the short-circuit equivalent.

In this paper, a UWB antenna using a SIR(Step Impedance Resonator) that eliminate signal interference at 5 GHz WLAN as the first rejection band and adjust the second rejection band is proposed. Unlike the unit impedance resonator, the second harmonic of SIR is decided according to step impedance. Therefore, To adjust the second rejection band, SIR is applied to UWB antenna. Also, the equivalent circuit of the antenna at first rejection band is presented and the equivalent modeling values of the SIR and the coupling value is obtained. The proposed antenna is satisfied to cover full UWB band with return losses less than -10 dB and has band rejection characteristic in 5 GHz WLAN band. The radiation patterns show +y directivity characteristics in H-plane and the group delay variations are within 1.0 ns.

We have investigated dielectric polarization in organic light-emitting diodes using 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum($Alq_3$) as an electron transport and emissive material. We analyzed the dielectric polarization of organic light-emitting diodes using characteristics of impedance and equivalent circuit of $ITO/Alq_3/Al$. Impedance characteristics was measured complex impedance Z and phase ${\theta}$ in the frequency range of $1{\times}40Hz\;to\;1{\times}10^8Hz$. We obtained complex electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, and loss tangent(tan${\delta}$) of the device at room temperature. And, we obtained the equivalent circuit of $ITO/Alq_3/Al$ through analyzing dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent. From these analyses, we could interpret a conduction mechanism and dielectric polarization.

In this work, we used impedance spectroscopy analysis to determine the effect of the $HfO_X$ treatment on the surface of ITO and to model the equivalent circuit for OLEDs. Devices with an ITO/Organic material/Al structure can be modeled as resistances and capacitances arranged in parallel or in series. The number of elements depends on the composition of the structure, essentially the number of layers, and the contacts.
