지수선로는 특히 microwave공학에서 Impedance 변환용으로 널리 사용되고 있으나 그 Impedance 함수 또는 반사계수의 표시식의 복잡성으로 인하여 이 선로의 특성연구, 설계에 있어서 적지 않은 계산의 곤란이 따른다. 따라서 이의 도식해법이 환영된다. 본논문에서 우리는 지수선로의 Impedance함수를 일차변환하면 보통의 균일선로에 대한 것과 유사한 표시식이 얻어짐에 착안하여 복소수의 일차변환을 대표하는 W-평면과 Smith chart 또는 직교 Impedance diagram을 병용하던지 W-평면을 직교 Impedance diagram에 중첩시키던지 또는 Smith chart의 constant-r constant-x도의 label를 고쳐서 사용하던지 하여 지수선로의 문제를 도식으로 해결하는 방법을 모색하였다. 또 같은 착안으로부터 지수선로의 집중정수 등가회로가 흥미있게 구해짐을 부수적으로 지적하였다.

Corrosion inside electronic packages significantly impacts the system performance and reliability, necessitating non-destructive diagnostic techniques for system health management. This study aims to present a non-destructive method for assessing corrosion in copper interconnects using the Smith chart, a tool that integrates the magnitude and phase of complex impedance for visualization. For the experiment, specimens simulating copper transmission lines were subjected to temperature and humidity cycles according to the MIL-STD-810G standard to induce corrosion. The corrosion level of the specimen was quantitatively assessed and labeled based on color changes in the R channel. S-parameters and Smith charts with progressing corrosion stages showed unique patterns corresponding to five levels of corrosion, confirming the effectiveness of the Smith chart as a tool for corrosion assessment. Furthermore, by employing data augmentation, 4,444 Smith charts representing various corrosion levels were obtained, and artificial intelligence models were trained to output the corrosion stages of copper interconnects based on the input Smith charts. Among image classification-specialized CNN and Transformer models, the ConvNeXt model achieved the highest diagnostic performance with an accuracy of 89.4%. When diagnosing the corrosion using the Smith chart, it is possible to perform a non-destructive evaluation using electronic signals. Additionally, by integrating and visualizing signal magnitude and phase information, it is expected to perform an intuitive and noise-robust diagnosis.

In this paper, we report the design of UHF RFID ceramic antenna using HFSS, one of the widely used RFID design tools. Of the developed antenna system, we analyze its Return Loss using HFSS and its characteristics using Smith Chart methodology. We built the ceramic antenna system based on the HFSS design, and analyzed its performance by measuring the impedence matching and gains using Network Analyzer. We attach the developed prototype to UHF RFID portable terminal, and performed distance measuring for five widely used types of RFID tags to verify the performance of our proposed antenna system.

The dynamic permittivity of a microstrip structure leads to a convenient and modified Smith-chart representation that includes the frequency-dependent influence of the lossy characteristics of the line cohesively. The efficacy of the model is illustrated with an example concerning a microstrip patch antenna. Relevant simulations show that the input impedances calculated from the model are more accurate than those from the previous model in the literature by comparing to the measure results, as illustrated with an example of a patch antenna. This model is compatible for CAD efforts with MATLAB$\^$TM/ facilitation fast and user-friendly implementations.

We present the derivation of the loci of the reflection coefficient of a loaded transmission line on the Smith chart as the length of the transmission line is varied. The results show that the loci constitute a circle when the characteristic impedance of the transmission line differs from the normalizing one, whose center and radius are determined by the impedances of the load and the transmission line. The results can be used in the matching circuit design using microstriplines when line width and length should be compromised.

The cavity resonator is one of the widely used components in the microwave applications. The unloaded Q, the resonant frequency, and the coupling factor are basic parameters of a cavity. A simple unloaded Q factor measurement procedure of a cavity is proposed in a lossy coupling. The equivalent circuit of a cavity with coupling loss at near the resonant frequency is presented. The coupling loss resistance was found by the measurement of a cavity impedance. The cavity impedance compensated coupling loss was redrawn on the Smith Chart. The loaded Q and coupling factor were obtained based on the compensated impedance locus and then the unloaded Q factor was calculated. To verify the proposed procedure, the cavity with lossless coupling was measured. The two measurement results in the lossy and lossless coupling agree well. The results confirm the proposed procedure is valid.

The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of the prediction methods which are frequently used in the clinic, such as Moyers', Tanaka and Johnston's, Song's Hixon and Oldfather's, Kaplan's, Smith's. These prediction methods were compared to the data, which were obtained from 100 Kyung-Hee University students (50 males and 50 females) with normal occlusion of permanent dentition, using a retrospective statistical analysis. The standard periapical radiopgraphs for the lower premolars using 16-inch long cone technique and the yellow stone dental casts were taken from each samples. The mesiodistal widths of 4 incisors, canine, premolars were measured on the dental casts, and those of premolars were measured on the radiographs. The correlation coefficients, paired samples t-tests, regression coefficients between the actual measuredments of the samples and the predicted measurements of each methods were analyzed. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The prediction methods using periapical radiographs tended to show a stronger correlation than the methods using dental casts; the correlation coefficients between the actual widths of the lower canine and premolars and the predicted widths of the tested methods were higher in Smith, Kaplan, Hixon & Oldfater, and Tanaka & Johnston (p<0.001). 2. The Moyers' probability chart at 65 % showed a tendency toward the least difference between the actual measurements and the predicted widths of the lower canine and the premolars, and the methods of Smith, Kaplan, Tanaka & Johnston also showed a less difference. 3. By means of evaluation in correlation coefficients and paired smaples t-tests, the Smith and Tanaka & Johnston in male, and the Moyers' 65 % and Song in female showed a high tendency toward accurate methods. 4. The regression equations by models that are derived from the study were as follows: Male(Lt.) :Y=10.799+0.475X Femle(Lt.) :Y= 7.427+0.609X (Rt.) :Y=11.043+0.462X (Rt.) :Y= 8.475+0.556X 5. The regression equations by radiographs that are dericed from the study were as follows: Male(Lt.) :Y=6.5651+0.9720X Femle(Lt.) :Y=4.8656+1.0632X (Rt.) :Y=7.8610+0.9060X (Rt.) :Y=4.5483+1.0843X

This paper describes the measured results of sonobuoy transmitting antenna system for anti-submarine warfare (ASW). Since radiation pattern and power density depend on impedance matching between transmitting RF part and antenna with termination resistance, design of matching circuit is very important for sonobuoy system performance. Matching circuit is designed by Smith chart using control of L and C. In standing wave ratio(SWR) measurement using Network Analyzer, SWR of antenna with matching circuit observed 1.5 below at the assigned VHF band. It shows very excellent performance comparison with conversional product that is used for the same object. The measured vertical and horizontal radiation patterns are also shown the satisfaction of military specifications. A drop out of sonobuoy system on the sea is happened when angle of elevation direction is over 10 degrees, and it is conformed that it takes less than I second return to original signal level. The required electric power density is $83\;mW/m^2$ in the military specification, and measured electric power density is observed over average $110\;mW/m^2$ at all frequency bands.

In this paper, the permeability(${\mu}$$\sub$r′/, ${\mu}$$\sub$r"/), permittivity($\varepsilon$$\sub$r′/, $\varepsilon$$\sub$r"/) and absorption properties of Ferroxplana/Rubber composites were investigated. The composite specimens were prepared by molding and curing the mixtures of matrix rubber and Ni$_2$Y ferroxplana powders which were synthesized by coprecipitated method. The permeability(${\mu}$$\sub$r′/) of specimen was decreased in the range of 8∼12.5(GHz) and the permeability(${\mu}$$\sub$r"/) and Permittivity($\varepsilon$$\sub$r′/, $\varepsilon$$\sub$r"/) were increased. The optimum thickness of electromagnetic wave absorber (F/R=4, 1,200($^{\circ}C$) ), utilizing the Smith chart, was about 3.0(mm). The Figure of Merit was 93(%).

Chip Pin Parasitic은 실제 Chip Pad에서부터 Bonding Wire를 통한 Package Lead Frame까지를 의미한다. 여기서, Lead Frame 및 Bonding Wire에서 Inductance 및 작은 저항이 보이고, Chip Pad에서의 Capacitance, 그리고 Pad 부터 Ground까지의 Return Path에서 발생하는 저항이 보인다. 이들을 모두 합하면 L, R, C의 Series로 나타낼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 Chip Pin Parasitic을 추출 하기 위해서 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometer)과 NA(Network Analyzer)를 사용하였는데, TDR의 경우 PCB를 제작하여 Chip을 Board위에 붙인 후 Time Domain에서 측정 하였고 NA의 경우 Pico Probe를 이용하여 Chip pin에 직접 Probing해서 Smith Chart를 통하여 Extraction 값을 추출했다. 이 경우, NA를 이용한 측정이 좀 더 정확한 Parasitic 값을 추출할 수 있으리라 예상되겠지만, 실제로 Chip이 구동하기 위해서는 Board위에 있을 때의 상황도 고려해야 하기 때문에 TDR 추출 값과 NA 추출 값을 모두 비교하였다.
