The input impedances of pulse width modulated (PWM) dc-to-dc converters, which dictate the outcomes of the dynamic interaction between dc-to-dc converters and their source subsystem, are analyzed in a general and unified manner. The input impedances of three basic PWM dc-to-dc converters are derived with both voltage mode control and current mode control. This paper presents the analytical expressions of the 24 input impedances of three basic PWM dc-to-dc converters with the two different control schemes in a factorized time-constant form. It also provides a comprehensive reference for future dynamic interaction analyses requiring knowledge of the converters' input impedances. The theoretical predictions of the paper are all supported by measurements on prototype dc-to-dc converters. The use of the presented results is demonstrated via a practical application example, which analyzes the small-signal dynamics of an input-filter coupled current-mode controlled buck converter. This elucidates the theoretical background for the previously-reported eccentric behavior of the converter.

The input and output impedances in a low voltage distribution system is one of the most important matters for power line communication because from the viewpoint of communication, the attenuation characteristic of the high frequency signals is greatly caused by impedance mismatch during sending and receiving. The frequency range is from 1MHz to 30MHz. Therefore, this paper investigates the input and output impedances in order to understand the characteristic of high frequency signals in the low voltage distribution system between a pole transformer and an end user. For power line communication, the model of Korea's low voltage distribution system is proposed in a residential area and then the low voltage distribution system is set up in a laboratory. In the low voltage distribution system, S parameters are measured by using a network analyzer. Finally, input and output impedances are calculated using S parameters.

This paper introduces a modified Wilkinson power divider that uses uniform transmission lines for various terminated impedances and an arbitrary power ratio. For the designed power ratio, the proposed divider changes only the electrical lengths of the transmission lines between the input and output ports, and those between the output ports and the isolation resistor. In this case, even when various termination impedances of the ports exist, the divider characteristics are satisfied. To verify the feasibility of the proposed divider, two circuits were designed to operate at a frequency of 2 GHz with 2:1 and 4:1 power splitting ratios and various terminated impedances of 40, 70, and $60{\Omega}$ for one circuit, and 50, 70, and $60{\Omega}$ for the other. The measurement and simulation results were in good agreement.

From the distribution equations of current on a 6 points symmetrically-fed linear antenne, equations of input impedanees and mutual impedances were introduced. Although the practical calculation is very tideous, it can seen that it is calculable anyhow, as shown on an example.

For the purpose of finding out the sound field characteristics in a rectangular cavity, analytical and experimental studies are performed with white noise input. Two-microphone impedance tube method is used to measure the impedances of foamed aluminum. Foamed aluminum is well known metallic porous material which has excellent properties of light weight and high absorbing performance. And predicted impedances of foamed aluminum are compared with measured impedances. The predicted acoustical parameters are applied to the theoretical analysis to predict sound pressure field in the cavity. The measured sound absorption effects are compared with the predicted values for both cases with and without foamed aluminum lining in the cavity of the rectangular enclosure.

The Possibility of using acoustic impedance as an input Parameter for computation of underwater acoustic field in shallow waters was investigated. Analysis of the acoustic reflection from the ocean bottom with shear wave effect showed that acoustic impedances below the critical grazing angle have nearly angle-independent property and could be approximated with a single value of near-grazing impedance $Z_0$. Computations of the Propagation loss based on the concept of 'effective depth' indicate that near-grazing bottom acoustic impedances could be used as an input parameter for simulation of the acoustic fields in shallow waters.

In this paper, an unequal power divider based on adjusting electrical length of uniform transmission line is presented. This divider consists of three uniform transmission lines and one isolation resistor and have the different port impedances of input and output. The feature of proposed divider can changed the power dividing ratio to adjust only electrical length of uniform transmission lines. To verify the feasibility of proposed power divider, two divider circuits are designed, one is 1:2 power dividing ratio divider with $60{\Omega}$ uniform transmission line and $40{\Omega}$ input port impedances and $45{\Omega}$ output port impedances, the performance data were measured the insertion losses of 1.7 dB/ 5.0 dB, return losses of more than -30 dB and isolation of more than -35 dB. The other is 1:4 power dividing ratio divider with $40{\Omega}$ uniform transmission line and $50{\Omega}$ input port impedances and $75{\Omega}$ output port impedances, the performance data were measured the insertion losses of 1.3 dB/ 6.8 dB, return losses of more than -12 dB and isolation of more than -19 dB. The measured performance data agreed well with the simulated results.

An estimation method for the amplitude and phase response of transmission line is discussed. and applied to narrow band ISDN subscriber line. The ABCD parameters of line are evaluated from four impedance values: the standard termination impedence at activated and deactivated stares, and the input impedances of line which can be estimated at each state. Estimating input impedence, the “chirp” signal is used as incident signal and noise effect can be reduced by ensemble averaging. These ABCD parameter estimations might be applicable to ether uniform or nonuniform line. Cleary the magnitude and phase response can be obtained from estimated ABCD parameters. The numerical simulation results for N ISDN subscriber line model are included, and the estimation error introduced by deviation in load impedence is also anlyzed.

This paper presents the numerical calculation for input impedance of a conductor located in the loss media by using the program with MATLAB. The input impedances of the conductor were numerically calculated with the moment of method. To increase an accuracy of results, the Galerkin's method which both the basic function and the weight function are the triangle function was applied. And by applying the modified image method, image sources of the conductor located in air were considered. According to the comparison between the current distributions at the conductor which were calculated with the MATLAB program and the NEC program, the reliability of the self-made program with MATLAB was obtained. In case of the conductor located in soil, which length are 1 m and 2 m, the input impedance were simulated as a function of both a conductivity and a frequency. Finally, input impedances and phases of the conductor located in soil were measured, and those results were compared with simulated results which calculated under the same conditions.

In this paper, a design of a GaN HEMT power amplifier using output matching circuit with arbitrary harmonic impedances is presented. The adopted GaN HEMT device, TGF2023-02 of TriQuint Semiconductor, was packaged in commercial package. The optimal impedances of the GaN HEMT package are extracted from load-pull simulation at package input and output reference planes. The targets of load-pull simulation are the highest output power at fundamental frequency and the highest efficiency at $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ harmonic frequencies. Because of fixture in the package, the extracted impedances shows arbitrary harmonic impedances. In order to match the optimal impedances, output matchin circuit which has 4 transmission lines is presented. Characteristic impedances and electrical lengths of the transmission lines are mathmatically calculated. The power amplfiier with $54.6{\times}40mm^2$ shows the output power of 8 W at the fundamental frequency of 2.5 GHz, the efficiency above 55 %, and harmonic suppression of above 35 dBc at the $2^{nd}$ and the $3^{rd}$ harmonics.
