Design and fabrication of a low cost sensor for measuring electric field over a broad range of electromagnetic (EM) frequency is presented. The electric field probe consists of an electrically short dipole antenna and diode detector connected to an instrumentation amplifier via a high impedance line. The rectified diode voltage is conveyed over the high impedance line for real time data acquisi...

Impedance matching circuit between radio frequency (RF) generator and the plasma load, placed between them, determines the RF power transfer from RF generator to the plasma load. The impedance of plasma load depends on the plasma parameters through skin depth and plasma conductivity or resistivity. Therefore, for long pulse operation of inductively coupled plasmas, particularly for high power (...

Development of eddy current testing makes possible for the inspection of the conductivity variations, inspection of surface and beneath the surface of conductivity materials and liftoff property to characterize nonconductive materials.This paper deals with impedance analysis and analyzes liftoff distance effect using numerical method on eddy current testing. The focus of this paper is to first ...

Three procedures allowing the systematic determination of the propagation characteristic of lines and deembedding the influence of feeding discontinuities are presented. All of them are based on the known measurement technique of two lines with different lengths on the measured substrate after earlier calibration with standard substrate. The first one doesn’t involve the knowledge of the refere...

To satisfy requirements of 4G communication systems, an E-shaped microstrip antenna with L-probe is presented. In this design, E-shaped patch is introduced to expand the bandwidth by changing the current distribution, L-probe is introduced to increase the bandwidth by counteracting the inductance of the probe. The electrical property of the antenna is analysised using commercially available Fin...

Helicon plasma source is being developed at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS, Novosibirsk. The parameters are studied confined in a mirror trap configuration magnetic field an operating frequency 13.56 MHz. For matching antenna impedance and generator load, Π-type box was designed successfully tested powers 20–25 kW. low reflected power (1–2%) obtained, as compared to that for L-t...

In this paper, the contact motion between rigid body systems floating in space is formulated and dynamic conditions are investigated in order to capture a non-cooperative satellite. As for the theoretical investigation, impedance matching is discussed for the case in which the robot hand under impedance control approaches and collides with a passive target, and a specific impedance value is def...

We designed a flexible probe to record both neuroelectrical and neurochemical activities (Figure 1). This probe has four microelectrodes for neural recording and a fluidic channel covered with a semipermeable membrane; the membrane is used for microdialysis in the brain. We measured impedance of the electrodes, and examined the leakage of dialysate from the fluidic channel in vitro.
