The radiated noise from the automotive intake system should be predicted at the design stage. To this end, the precise measurement of in-duct acoustic source parameters of the intake system, i.e., the source strength and source impedance, is essential. Most of previous works on the measurement of acoustic source parameters were performed under a fixed engine speed condition. However, the requirement of vehicle manufacturer is the noise radiation pattern as a function of engine speed. In this study, the direct method was employed to measure the source parameters of engine intake system under a fixed engine speed and engine run-up condition. It was noted that the frequency spectra of source impedance hardly changes with varying the engine speed. Thus, it is reasonable to calculate the source strength under the engine run-up condition by assuming that source impedance is invariant with engine speed. Measured and conventional source models, i.e., constant pressure source, constant velocity source, and non-reflective source, were utilized to predict insertion loss and radiated sound pressure level. A reasonable prediction accuracy of radiated sound pressure level spectra from the intake system was given in the test vehicle when using the measured source characteristics which were acquired under the operating condition.

In this paper, we design and analyze a Ka-band microstrip line to rectangular waveguide transition using the expanding-cell FDTD method. The transition under investigation consists of a ridged waveguide, microstrip line, and $\lambda$/4 Chebyshev impedance transformer. To improve the accuracyand efficiency, the expanding-cell FDTD method is applied to analyze the characteristics of a ridged waveguide impedance transformer. To verify the accuracy of the expanding-cell FDTD method, S parameters of the analyzed transition are compared with those of experimental data. The efficiency of the present approach is verified by comparing the computational time for expanding-cell and that for fine cell. The relation between the number of step and operation bandwidth is analyzed by comparing the characteristics of four and three step Chebyshev waveguide impedance transformer.

We have investigated dielectric properties depending on frequency in organic light -emitting diodes using 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum ($Alq_3$) as an electron transport and emissive material. We analyzed the dielectric properties of organic light-emitting diodes using impedance of characteristics. impedance characteristics was measured complex impedance Z and phase $\Theta$ in the frequency range of 40 Hz to $10^8$ Hz. We obtained complex electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, and loss tangent (tan$\delta$) of the device at room temperature. From these analyses, we are able to interpret a conduction mechanism and dielectric properties contributed by an interfacial and orientational polarization.

A new design method of the microwave multisection impedance transformer is proposed. This method is based on the inverse scattering theory using the frequency domain reflection coefficient of the transformer to be designed. In the first step, the permittivity profile of a virtual one-dimensional dielectric medium is reconstructed using the desired reflection coefficient. In the second step, the transformer which is equivalent to the reconstructed dielectric medium in view of reflection characteristics is synthesized. Theoretically, this method can be used to design the impedance matching transformers with arbitrary passband characteristics within the limit of the Bode-Fano criteria[1]. Our approach is examined for two design examples to show that it is valid.

$LiMn_2O_4$ is prepared by reacting stoichiometric mixture of LiOH $H_2O$ and $MnO_2$ (mole ratio 1 : 2) and calcinating at $800^{\circ}C$ for 24h, 36h, 48h, 60h and 72h. At X-ray diffraction, cathode active materials calcined at $800^{\circ}C$ for 36h. (111)/(311) peak ratio was 0.37. It was that crystal structure is formed very well. In the result of charge/discharge test, when heated at $800^{\circ}C$ for 36h, charge/discharge characteristics of $LiMn_2O_4$ is the best and Super-s-black sort of conductive agent showed well property. Also, AC impedance creased gradually during cycling and stabilized after 10cycle.

Specimens of SrZr0.95Ga0.05O3-$\delta$, SrZr0.95Y0.05O3-$\delta$, BaZr0.95Ga0.05O3-$\delta$ and BaZr0.95Y0.05O3-$\delta$ were fabricated by a solid-state reaction method and subsequent sintering at 150$0^{\circ}C$ to 1$600^{\circ}C$ The microstructures and electrical characteristics of the specimens were studied. Only BaZr0.95Ga0.05O3-$\delta$ showed dense microstructure and had typical impedance spectra at various temperature. Its electrical conductivity by impedance analysis was 2.7$\times$10-3$\Omega$-1.cm-1 at 90$0^{\circ}C$ in air. The BaZr0.95Ga0.05O3-$\delta$ exhibited lower grain rsistance in wet atmosphere than in dry atmosphere and the reduction of resistance is due to the proton conduction.

This paper conducts the research on the variation in the characteristics of the resonance and impedance of the metallic parallel plates due to the replacement of the normal dielectric substrate by the metamaterial. The ENG(${\epsilon}<0$), MNG(${\mu}<0}$) and DNG(${\epsilon},{\mu}<0$) types of metamaterial as well as the DPS(Double Positive) material are taken into consideration a full-wave modal analysis method known for accurate computation, as the SRR-kind of Lorentz model for permittivity and metal wire-periodic array-kind of Drude model for permeability, and the behaviors of parallel plates' resonance mode and impedance are observed. Based upon the observation, the design guidelines for the substrate can be addressed regrading how to suppress the parallel plates' spurious resonance modes that degrade the quality of the electronic equipment.

A more reliable algorithm for detecting a high impedance fault (HIF) requires fault currents at the relaying point containing information of load condition as well as HIF characteristics. This paper presents a modeling method of an HIF in a distribution system using EMTP. From the voltage and current waveforms of HIF experiment, the voltage-current characteristic is obtained and then piecewise linearized. The proposed method gets several points on the linearized voltage-current curve and then represents nonlinearity as piecewise linear resistances using Transient Analysis of Control Systems (TACS) in EMTP. Thus, an HIF is represented as a voltage source in the first and third quadrants of voltage-current plane. The method is implemented in EMTP and thus the voltage and current at the relaying point can be obtained when an HIF occurs. In this paper, an HIF was simulated on various load conditions and fault conditions in 22.9 [kV] distribution systems.

A new kind of resonant impedance type hybrid active filter (RITHAF) is proposed for dynamic harmonic current suppression and high capacity reactive compensation in medium and high voltage systems. This paper analyzed the different performance of the RITHAF when the active part of the RITHAF is controlled as a current source and as a voltage source, respectively. The harmonic suppression function is defined in this paper. The influences of the changes caused by the grid impedance and the detuning of the passive power filter on the compensating characteristics of the RITHAF are studied by analyzing the suppression function. Simulation and industrial application results show that the RITHAF has excellent performances in harmonic suppression and reactive compensation, which is suitable for medium and high voltage systems.

This paper presents the soil ionization phenomena and the parameters with the transient characteristics of model grounding system under lightning impulse voltages. lonization properties of dry and wet sands were investigated by using two test cells of concentric cylindrical electrode system with different dimensions. As a result non-linear electrical behavior of sand under high impulse voltage is caused by ionization process. The transient impedance of sand depends not only on the water content but also on the magnitude of applied impulse voltages. The grounding impedance is decreased with increasing the water content and the magnitude of a lied voltages. The results resented in this paper will provide useful information on the design of high performance grounding systems against lightning surge.
