Microwave wireless power transmission (MWPT) is a promising technique for low and medium power applications such as wireless charging for sensor network or for biomedical chips in case with long ranges or in dispersive media such. A key factor of the MWPT technique is its efficiency, which includes the wireless power transmission efficiency and the radio frequency (RF) to direct current (DC) voltage efficiency of RF-DC converter (which transforms RF energy to DC supply voltage). The main problem in designing an RF-DC converter is the nonlinear characteristic of Schottky diodes; this characteristic causes low efficiency, higher harmonics frequency and a change in the input impedance value when the RF input power changes. In this paper, rather than using harmonic termination techniques of class E or class F power amplifiers, which are usually used to improve the efficiency of RF-DC converters, we propose a new method called "optimal input impedance" to enhance the performance of our design. The results of simulations and measurements are presented in this paper along with a discussion of our design concerning its practical applications.

This paper describes the design and fabrication of high frequency ground impedance measuring system for assessment of grounding system for Lightning protection. The ground impedance measuring system has been designed and fabricated which makes it possible to assess the ground impedance by frequency ranges from 100 Hz to 1 MHz. The effective grounding systems having a very low impedance to electromagnetic disturbance such as lightning surges and noises in microelectronics and high-technology branches are strongly required. In order to analyze the dynamic characteristic of grounding system impedances in lightning and surge protection grounding systems, it is highly desirable to assess the ground impedances as a measure of performance of grounding system in which lightning and switching surge currents with fast rise time and high frequency flow. The measuring system is based on the variable frequency power supply and consists of signal circuit part, main control part, data acquisition and processing unit, and voltage and current probe system. The ground impedance measuring system can be used to assess grounding system during occurrence of lightning.

In High-Speed DSP systems, crosstalk between transmission lines of multi-channel can degrade the performance of equipment operations. This paper presents a microwave board to measure multi-channel coaxial cable assembly. The designed board has good performances from DC to 3 GHz, which have improved characteristic impedance, reduced crosstalk by using via fence, and low transmission loss. Using the designed board, we can measure characteristics of DUT(Device Under Test) such as return loss, insertion loss, crosstalk phase delay, and characteristic impedance. The measured results are used to improve performances of a produced coaxial cable assembly.

The factors affecting the accuracy of lightning current measuring system are figured out the materials and length of down-conductor, and impedance matching between grounding resistance and characteristic impedance of cable. The cable with the low characteristic impedance used to transfer the lightning current from the top of the tower is too long to measure the waveform of lightning current, exactly. Especially, the height of the tower can cause the change of front time and magnitude of lightning stroke current. Basically, in this experiment. It was found that the magnitude and rise time of the lightning current are extremely dependant in the length of down-conductor in lightning current measuring system.

In this paper, investigations on the impedance characteristics of a DGS(Defected Ground Structure) slot in the groud plane of microstripline are presented in spectral domain and applied to the characteristic improvement of stepped impedance microstrip low pass filter(LPF). In this method, expressions for the impedance of a DGS slot are derived from self-reaction of the angular spectrum of plane waves and the discontinuity in the modal voltage. The numerical results are compared with those of the rigorous full-wave method and are shown to produce reasonably accurate data. And the stepped impedance microstrip low pass filter is designed and fabricated with the uniform and nonuniform DGS slots for improving the frequency responses. The experiments show that the proposed filter with slots in the ground plane has a wider stopband and sharper cutoff response.

A.C. and D.C. characteristic of TiO$_2$ added SnO$_2$ are investigated to study the electrical properties. The electrical inductivity increases as TiO$_2$content increase. The doer effect of TiO$_2$ is crucial role for the increase of electrical conductivity. The frequency-dependent ac inductivity increases with the increase of TiO$_2$ contents at low frequency region. However, at high frequency region, the difference of ac conductivity is very small. Impedance spectrums are consist of the one semicircle. Therefore, the sizes of semicircle decreases with increasing the TiO$_2$ contents.

In this paper it is shown that the meander line at the low frequency can be thought as the single transmission line whose characteristic impedance is approximately equal to that without coupling. But the length is contracted from that without coupling. The approximate contraction ratio is derived for weak coupling and is compared with the circuit simulation results and the EM simulation results. The formula are in good agreement with the simulation results in weak coupling.

In this study, the electrochemical impedance characteristics of CO₂/H₂O co-reduction to produce CO/H₂ syngas were investigated in a low-temperature single cell. The effect of the operating conditions on the single-cell performance was evaluated at different feed concentrations and cell voltages, and the corresponding electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) data were collected and analyzed. The Nyquist plots exhibited two semicircles with separated characteristic frequencies of approximately 1 kHz and tens of Hz. The high-frequency semicircles, which depend only on the catholyte concentration, could be correlated to the charge transfer processes in competitive CO₂ reduction and hydrogen evolution reactions at the cathodes. The EIS characteristics of the CO₂/H₂O co-reduction single cell could be explained by the equivalent circuit suggested in this study. In this circuit, the cathodic mass transfer and anodic charge transfer processes are collectively represented by a parallel combination of resistance and a constant phase element to show low-frequency semicircles. Through nonlinear fitting using the equivalent circuit, the parameters for each electrochemical element, such as polarization resistances for high- and low-frequency processes, could be quantified as functions of feed concentration and cell voltage.

The method of measuring skin active points is a technique for obtaining a lot of biometric information because it is measured with convenience, low cost and non-invasive methods. In this paper, we used in a three electrode measure method that has the advantage of measuring the impedance of the APs under the skin. The impedance measuring method is well illustrated by a simple model of an equivalent electrical circuit that correlates well with experimental results. The characteristic frequencies of APs are about 15-30HZ higher than that of surrounding skin and the values of measured reactance are about 35-77KΩ smaller. This technology analyzed accurately and objectively the reactance and characteristic frequency of APs and the surrounding skin using a non-invasive measuring system.

In this paper, transmission lines with low and high characteristic impedance (Z$_{0}$) are fabricated and analyzed. The transmission lines are fabricated on the benzo-cyclo-butene (BCB) films of a low dielectric constant. For the low Z$_{0}$, two types of coplanar waveguide (CPW) structures are fabricated, which include bottom-ground and double-ground type. Measurement shows that Z$_{0}$ values for each CPW type are 7.3 and 9.4$\Omega$, respectively, at a signal line width of 100 #m. Whit the ratio between the spacing of bottom-ground and the signal line with becomes greater than 2.5, the Z$_{0}$ is nearly saturated. In addition, thin film microstrip lines fabricated using the BCB insertion layers show very low Z$_{0}$ of 25.5$\Omega$, and this impedance is ~64 % of the values obtained from the BCB-based CPW structures of the same line width. Measurement result of CPW on BCB layer is 100.5 Ω.s 100.5 Ω.
