A novel analytic solution has been derived for the bird-cage receiver coil of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, which is widely used in 3-dimensional medical imaging, by transforming the coil into an equivalent circuit model by using a transmission matrix-based circuit analysis. The bird-cage coil composed of N legs is divided into a cell for which input impedance is to be analyzed and the remaining N-1 cells, and then a transmission matrix corresponding to the N-1 cells is converted into a circuit to transform the 3-dimensional bird-cage coil into the 2-dimensional equivalent circuit model, which is suitable to derive the analytic solution for the input impedance. The proposed method derives directly the analytic solution for the input impedance at an arbitrary point of the coil unlike the conventional analytic solution of a bird-cage coil, so that it can be used not only for resonance frequency calculations but also for various coil characteristics analyses. Since the analytic solution agreed well with the results of computational simulations, it can be useful for the impedance matching of a coil and the analysis and the design of a multi-tune bird-cage coil.

The design of radar absorbing structures(RAS) is a discrete optimization problem and is usually processed by stochastic optimization methods. The calculation of radar cross section(RCS) should be decreased to improve the efficiency of designing RAS. In this paper, an efficient method using impedance matching is studied to design RAS for minimizing RCS. Input impedance of the minimal RCS for the specified wave incident conditions is obtained by interlocking physical optics(PO) and optimizations. Complex permittivity and thickness of RAS are designed to satisfy the calculated input impedance by a discrete optimization. The results reveal that the studied method attains the same results as stochastic optimization which have to conduct numerous RCS analysis. The efficiency of designing RAS can be enhanced by reducing the calculation of RCS.

We have proposed a novel DVB-H(Digital Video Broadcast for Handheld) antenna for folder-type mobile handheld terminal by using a coupling element, a stub, and an L-type matching circuit. The L-type matching circuit consisting of two chip inductors is used for achieving an improved impedance matching over the DVB-H frequency band ($470{\sim}702\;MHz$). Simulated results showed the stub worked to more knot the lower and upper frequency ends of the input impedance curve. The antenna exhibits a flat gain characteristic from 2 to 2.8 dBi over the DVB-H frequency band. The radiation patterns are a stable Figure-of-eight radiation pattern in the frequency range.

A noble single-ended input, double-balanced mixer topology is proposed. The mixer incorporates the common-source amplifier input stage with inductive degeneration for impedance matching. The analysis based on simulations shows that the overall performance of the mixer is excellent and is adjustable by varying the input transistor size to give best characteristics for the given linearity specifications.

The control of flexible joint robot is getting more attentions because its applications are more frequently used for robot systems in these days. This paper proposes a robust impedance controller for the flexible joint robot by using integral sliding mode control and backstepping control. The sliding mode control decouple disturbances completely but requires matching condition for disturbances. The dynamic model of flexible joint robot is divided into motor side and link side and the disturbance of the link side does not satisfy matching condition and cannot be decoupled directly by the actual input in the motor side. To overcome this difficulty, backstepping control technique is used with sliding mode control. The mismatched disturbance in the link side is changed into matched one in the respect to virtual control input which is the state controlled by actual input in the motor side. Integral sliding mode control is used to preserve the impedance control performance and the improved robustness at the same time.

The impedance matching network with the simplfied real frequency technique (SRFT) is proposed as a method for bandwidth enhancement of microstrip antenna. The validity of the technique is based on the relative frequency insensitivity of the radiation pattern and gain characteristics as compared to the resonant behaviour of the input impedance. The most significant feature of this technique is that there is no need to find any analytical description of the antenna and generator, and it only utilizes directly real frequency generator and load data over the prescribed frequency band. Furthermore, it is not necessary to invent an analytic form of the system transfer function to assume a matching network topology in advance. In this paper, the transmission line model is used to investigate the rectangular microstrip antenna, and based on the Fano's bandwidth-enlargement theory, the SRFT is introduced to design the matching networks of microstrip antennas in order to obtain a constant gain over the frequency band of interest. Two representative microstrip antnnas with different structure are fabricated and tested. From these procedures, it is obtained that the proposed impedance matching networks of microstrip antenna improve the impedance bandwidth nearly three times compared to the antenna without them.

This paper presents the basic characteristics of a forced resonant type EMI dipole antennas for frequencies below 80 MHz in which two reactance elements are used for the impedance matching at the fined point. The input impedance of the short dipole less than half-wavelength is controlled by the properly determined loading position and the value of loading reactance. The numerical results show that the small-sized EMI dipole antenna with loller antenna factors for frequencies below 80 MHz can be realized by the reactance loading. In case tole proposed center driven forced resonant type EMI dipole antenna with 0.3 λ length is loaded from the center, the input impedance is matched at feed line with 50 $\Omega$, and hence the antenna has lower factors in the frequency range of 30 to 80 MHz.

A high-precision pre-amplifier is designed for general use in EEG measurement system. It consists of signal generator, signal amplifier with a impedance converter, shield driver, body driver, differential amplifier, and isolation amplifier. The combination of minimum use of inaccurate passive components and the appropriate matching of each monolithic amplifiers results in good noise behavior, low leakage current, high CMRR, high input impedance, and high IMRR. The performance of EEG pre-amplifier has been verified by showing the typical EEG pattevn of a nomad person through the clinical experiments.
