This study proposes a laser based impedance measurement system and impedance based pipe corrosion and bolt-loosening monitoring techniques under temperature variations. For impedance measurement, the laser based impedance measurement system is optimized and adopted in this paper. First, a modulated laser beam is radiated to a photodiode, converting the laser beam into an electric signal. Then, the electric signal is applied to a MFC transducer attached on a target structure for ultrasonic excitation. The corresponding impedance signals are measured, re-converted into a laser beam, and radiated back to the other photodiode located in a data interrogator. The transmitted impedance signals are treated with an outlier analysis using generalized extreme value (GEV) statistics to reliably signal off structural damage. Validation of the proposed technique is carried out to detect corrosion and bolt-loosening in lab-scale carbon steel elbow pipes under varying temperatures. It has been demonstrated that the proposed technique has a potential to be used for structural health monitoring (SHM) of pipe structures.

일차원 매질에 대한 역산란법을 이용하여 테이퍼형 임피던스 정합선로를 설계한다. 역산란법으로 유전율 분포를 추정하는 과정에서 오타를 줄이기 위하여 위상 보정인자(PCF: Phase Compensation Factor)를 도입한다. 설계하고자 하는 정합선로와 동일한 반사특성을 갖는 가상(virtual) 일차원 유전체의 유전율 분포를 추정하여 정합선로를 합성한다. 이 설계법은 등가회로에 대한 회로망 이론을 적용하지 않고 임의의 대역 특성을 갖는 정합선로를 설계할 수 있다. 주파수 영역의 반사계수를 사용함으로써 시간 영역의 반사계수를 사용하는 설계법에서 필연적으로 나타나는 오차를 피할 수 있다.

Recently, researchers in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM) have been rigorously striving to replace the conventional NDE techniques with the smart material based SHM techniques, employing smart materials such as piezoelectric materials. For instance, the electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique employing piezo-impedance (lead zirconate titanate, PZT) transducer is known for its sensitivity in detecting local damage. For practical applications, various external factors such as fluctuations of temperature and loading, affecting the effectiveness of the EMI technique ought to be understood and compensated. This paper aims at investigating the damage monitoring capability of EMI technique in the presence of axial stress with fixed boundary condition. A compensation technique using effective frequency shift (EFS) by cross-correlation analysis was incorporated to compensate the effect of loading and boundary stiffening. Experimental tests were conducted by inducing damages on lab-sized aluminium beams in the presence of tensile and compressive forces. Two types of damages, crack propagation and bolts loosening were simulated. With EFS for compensation, both cross-correlation coefficient (CC) index and reduction in peak frequency were found to be efficient in characterizing damages in the presence of varying axial loading.

This paper presents a 2-6 GHz GaN HEMT power amplifier monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) with bridged-T all-pass filters and output-reactance-compensation shorted stubs using the $0.25{\mu}m$ GaN HEMT foundry process that is developed by WIN Semiconductors, Inc. The bridged-T filter is modified to mitigate the bandwidth degradation of impedance matching due to the inherent channel resistance of the transistor, and the shorted stub with a bypass capacitor minimizes the output reactance of the transistor to ease wideband load impedance matching for maximum output power. The fabricated power amplifier MMIC shows a flat linear gain of 20 dB or more, an average output power of 40.1 dBm and a power-added efficiency of 19-26 % in 2 to 6 GHz, which is very useful in applications such as communication jammers and electronic warfare systems.

Studying the control strategy of a microgrid under the load unbalanced state helps to improve the stability of the system. The magnitude of the power fluctuation, which occurs between the power supply and the load, is generated in a microgrid under the load unbalanced state is called negative sequence reactive power $Q^-$. Traditional power distribution methods such as P-f, Q-E droop control can only distribute power with positive sequence current information. However, they have no effect on $Q^-$ with negative sequence current information. In this paper, a stationary-frame control method for power sharing and voltage unbalance compensation in islanded microgrids is proposed. This method is based on the proper output impedance control of distributed generation unit (DG unit) interface converters. The control system of a DG unit mainly consists of an active-power-frequency and reactive-power-voltage droop controller, an output impedance controller, and voltage and current controllers. The proposed method allows for the sharing of imbalance current among the DG unit and it can compensate voltage unbalance at the same time. The design approach of the control system is discussed in detail. Simulation and experimental results are presented. These results demonstrate that the proposed method is effective in the compensation of voltage unbalance and the power distribution.

본 논문에서는 원통형 압전 진동체에 대한 수중 방사 임피던스를 유한 배플 구조에서의 측정 결과와 무한 배플 구조에서의 이론 결과를 비교하여 방사 임피던스에 대한 배플의 영향을 규명하였다. 배플의 길이가 증가할수록 방사 임피던스의 측정치는 무한 배플에서의 이론치에 접하하며, 배플의 영항은 방사저항에서 보다 방사 리액턴스에서 더 지배적 임을 보인다. 따라서 음향 변환기의 설계시 무한 배플 구조에서의 방사 임피던스 이론 결과를 적용하기 위해서는 배플길이에 따른 임피던스의 보상이 수행되어야 한다.

This paper deals with a single-phase impedance-source dynamic voltage restorer (Impedance-DVR) to mitigate voltage sag/swell for the critical loads. The proposed system is composed of passive filter and impedance-source topology inverter. As an ESS(Energy Storage System) of the proposed system is employed the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC). To calculate and control the compensation voltage, single-phase $^id-^iq$ theory in dq rotating reference frame and PI controller are used. Simulation results under voltage sag and swell are presented to show the performance.

This paper reports a dispersion compensation technique to implement tje distortionless transmission line by satisfying the heaviside conditon. Because of the skin depth for aconductor, compensation condition is dependent on the freuqncy variation. For this reason, first, the resistance have been chaacterized in awide range of frequencies, and then found the effective conductivity of the substrate which satisfied the heaviside condition. The phase velocity and the characteristics impedance are prresented nearly constant over a wideband frequency range.

We propose an inductive compensation method for a surface-mountable 10 Gbps photoreceiver module. Since many typical 10 Gbps photoreceiver modules consist of a photodetector and low-noise pre-amplifier, the impedance mismatch between the photodetector and pre-amplifier, as well as package parasitics, may reduce the frequency bandwidth. In this paper, we inserted an inductive component between the photodetector and pre-amplifier in order to create frequency bandwidth expansion. From the measurement results, we have found that the proposed technique can increase the -3 dB bandwidth about 4.2 GHz wider compared with an uncompensated module. And, from a bit-error rate (BER) test, we observed -15.7 dB sensitivity at $10^{-12}$ BER. This inductive compensation can be implemented easily and is compatible with common manufacturing processes of photoreceiver modules.

Multistage amplifiers have become appropriate choices for high-speed electronics and data conversion. Because of the large number of high-impedance nodes, frequency compensation has become the biggest challenge in the design of multistage amplifiers. The new compensation technique in this study uses two differential stages to organize feedforward and feedback paths. Five Miller loops and a 500-pF load capacitor are driven by just two tiny compensating capacitors, each with a capacitance of less than 10 pF. The symbolic transfer function is calculated to estimate the circuit dynamics and HSPICE and TSMC 0.18 ㎛. CMOS technology is used to simulate the proposed five-stage amplifier. A straightforward iterative approach is also used to optimize the circuit parameters given a known cost function. According to simulation and mathematical results, the proposed structure has a DC gain of 190 dB, a gain bandwidth product of 15 MHz, a phase margin of 89°, and a power dissipation of 590 ㎼.
