As research on secondary batteries becomes important, interest in analytical methods to examine the condition of secondary batteries is also increasing. Among these methods, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method is one of the most attractive diagnostic techniques due to its convenience, quickness, accuracy, and low cost. However, since the obtained spectra are complicated signals representing several impedance elements, it is necessary to understand the whole electrochemical environment for a meaningful analysis. Based on the understanding of the whole system, the circuit elements constituting the cell can be obtained through construction of a physically sound circuit model. Therefore, this mini-review will explain how to construct a physically sound circuit model according to the characteristics of the battery cell system and then introduce the relationship between the obtained resistances of the bulk (R_b), charge transfer reaction (R_ct), interface layer (R_SEI), diffusion process (W) and battery characteristics, such as the state of charge (SOC), temperature, and state of health (SOH).

The impedance characteristics of planar ICP have been measured and compared with the theoretical results obtained by the field equation. The resistance of the total impedance had a maximum point and the inductance decreased monotonically as the electron density increased from $2.5{\times}10^{10}cm^{-3}$ to $7{\times}10^{11}cm^{-3}$ and the Pressure from 1mT to 50mT. The impedance characteristics were also dependent on the profile of the electron density. The effective collision frequency, ${\nu}_{eff}$ was $9.0{\times}10^6Hz$ at 5mT and $.5{\times}10^7Hz$ at 100mT. The effective collision frequency at 5mT was not so different from that at 100mT and it is doe to the reduction of the discharge channel cross-section at high pressure. The estimated effective collision frequency from the simulation data was of the same order as the measured one.

In this paper, we have analyzed the change characteristics of induced noise due to the impedance change of the ground in both ends of telecommunication line. As what affects the induced noise, there are power influence or longitudinal transverse voltages and its weighted filtered voltage. In the result of measurement, we can see the noise level change due to the change of the ground impedance, that is, as the ground impedance at either end of the telecommunication line become grower, the noise level is increased, and as the ground impedance at either end of the telecommunication line become smaller, the noise level is decreased. However, we can't define the relation between ground impedance size and PIF in these measurement results, so we will have to carry out the measurement more deeply and more practically with various conditions in environmental viewpoint and/or experimental viewpoint to establish the definition between ground impedance size and PIF.

This paper presents a systematic approach of measurement, modeling and analysis of grounding system impedance in the field of lightning protection system and intelligent power equipments. The measurement and analysis system of ground impedance is based on a computer aided technique. The magnitude and phase of ground impedance were determined by the novel measurement and analysis using the revised fall-of-potential method. The ground impedances of the ground rod of 50 m long are considerably dependent on the frequency. The ground impedance is mainly resistive in the frequency range of 3-20 kHz. At higher frequencies, the reactive components of the ground impedances are no longer negligible and the inductance of the ground rod was found to be the core factor deciding the ground impedance. Although the steady-state ground resistance of the ground rod of 50 m was less than that of the ground rod of 10 m, the ground impedances of the ground rod of 50 m over the frequency range of more than 60 kHz were much greater than those of the ground rod of 10 m. Furthermore, the equivalent circuit model based on the measured data was proposed. and the calculated results were in approximately agreement with the measured data.

An impedance of ground electrode for information and communication facilities has a significant relationship with the electrical characteristics of soil where the ground electrode is buried. Especially, the impedance of ground electrode is directly affected by the characteristics of permittivity and conductivity in soil as a function of a frequency of an applied electric field. The program based on the electromagnetic field model was developed in MATLAB. Because both permittivity and conductivity can not be modified in commercial programs. The permittivity of soil was applied with the Debye equation which is a model of dielectric relaxation. And the empirical equation of the conductivity in soil was quoted in other paper. In order to confirm the reliability of proposed program, the impedance measurement of ground electrode was carried out, which were compared with the results of simulation in commercial program. In result, it was confirmed that the impedance and phase different simulated by appling the characteristics of permittivity and conductivity in soil are in good agreement with the measured values than results of NEC.

A coaxial-cable impedance transformer used in wideband frequency range is generally restricted to the fixed impedance transformation ratio as n2:1 or 1:n2(n: the number of coaxial cables). In this paper, we propose a new coaxial-cable impedance transformer to have an arbitrary impedance transformation ratio. We have fabricated three impedance transformers($50-{\Omega}$ to $25-{\Omega}$, $50-{\Omega}$ to $20-{\Omega}$ and $50-{\Omega}$ to $9-{\Omega}$) to confirm the operation characteristic of the suggested impedance transformer. The reflection characteristics (S11) of the fabricated $50-{\Omega}$ to $25-{\Omega}$ and $50-{\Omega}$ to $20-{\Omega}$ impedance transformer were less than -15dB over about 3-octaves frequency range and the reflection characteristic (S11) of the fabricated $50-{\Omega}$ to $9-{\Omega}$ impedance transformer was less than -15dB over about 1-octave frequency range, respectively.

Grounding insures a reference potential point for electric devices and also provides a law resistance path for fault or transient currents in the earth. The grounding impedance as a function of frequency is necessary for determining its performance since fault or transient currents could contain a wide range of frequencies. A concrete rod electrode is one of the commonly used grounding electrodes in electric distribution systems. In this paper, the grounding impedance of concrete rods has been measured in frequency raging from 60[Hz] up to 100[kHz] and an equivalent model of the grounding impedance is identified from the measured values. The grounding impedance under study when a typical lightning surge is injected into the grounding system was simulated numerically and graphically through the use of the EDSA software program.

This paper describes the correlation of the transient impedance and its parameters with the stationary resistance of a grounding system to a square pulse current and a lightning impulse current. In the experiment, the grounding system consists of a single grounding rod$(\Psi10[mm], 1[m])$and/or a triple-grounding rods of equilateral triangles with 5[m] spacing for operation. To analyze the transient impedance characteristics of the grounding system, a pulse generator which can produce square wave of a 30[ns] rise-time and a $20[\mus] $pulse duration is designed and fabricated. The injected content in the grounding system and the developed potential were recorded, and the time variation of the transient impedance were calculated as the ratio of the potential rising to the injected current at each time. The transient impedance and the effective surge impedance Z3 which defines economic protection level in power system were quite higher than the stationary resistance. The grounding impedance is decreased by the application of the triple-rods grounding system, and its effect is decreased as the frequency of the current is increased due to the inductance of the grounding leads.

The effects of alloying elements, Cr, Mo, and N on repassivation characteristics of stainless steels were investigated by using the abrading electrode technique and a.c impedance spectroscopy. The role of alloying elements on the stability of passive film and their repassivation characteristics were examined using alloy steels such as Fe-Cr, Fe-Cr-Mo, 304, 304LN, 316, and 316LN. The electrochemical characteristics of the passive film were investigated by in-situ d.c. and a.c. electrochemical methods. Localized corrosion resistance is believed to have much to do with the stability and repassivation characteristics of the passive film. The effects of alloying elements on the current transients and repassivation kinetics were systematically examined by using the abrading electrode technique and a.c. impedance spectroscopy. The experimental results were analyzed in order to elucidate the relationship between passive film stability, repassivation characteristics, and alloying elements.
