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.

This paper describes measurement of relative permittivity of illite found in young-dong area. A measurement of relative permittivity of the illite was made using cylindrical cavity resonators with a moveable cap. A concentric dielectric-rod inserted the cylindrical cavity resonator and an exact field representation of non-decaying mode of the resonator are introduced for the measurement of relative permittivity. The exact electromagnetic fields in cylindrical cavity with a concentric dielectric rod is analysed. The relative permittivity of dielectric in the cavity is calculated by analyzing a characteristic equation. The characteristic equation is solved by using the ContourPlot graph of Mathematica. We know that the field representation of non-decaying mode is exact. As a result, the relative permittivity of dielectric materials was 7.820 for a sample with binder and 7.894 for a pure sample.

Laboratory experiments were performed to examine the effects of water content and to see if permittivity had sufficient sensitivity to identify subsurface contamination. Both real and imaginary permittivities of unsaturated sand were strongly governed by the volumetric water content. Especially, a linear relationship between real permittivity and volumetric water content was derived at high frequencies (MHz ranges). Heavy metals in pore fluid result in significant increases in the effective imaginary permittivity, due to ionic conduction, but decreases in the real permittivity arises due to the decreased orientational polarization of water molecules caused by hydration of ions. Clear increase in the effective imaginary permittivity with heavy metal concentration was found to be valuable in the application of electrical methods for detecting heavy metals in the subsurface. However, because the permittivity is primarily dependent on the volumetric water content of soil, pre-evaluation on the volumetric water content is required.

The sintering and high frequency electro-magnetic properties of Ba-hexagonal ferrite were investigated. All samples of the Ba-hexagonal ferrite were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method and sintered at $1150^{\circ}C$~$1400^{\circ}C$. From the X-ray diffraction patterns of sintered Ba-hexagonal ferrite, the $Ba_3Co_2Fe_{24}O_{41}$ phase was represented as main phase in the almost sintering conditions. The bulk densities with sintering temperature and decreased at $1400^{\circ}C$. The permittivity ($\varepsilon$') and loss tangent of permittivity ($\varepsilon$"/$\varepsilon$') of $Ba_3Co_2Fe_{24}O_{41}$ ceramics increased and decreased with sintering temperature, respectively. The permeability of $Ba_3Co_2Fe_{24}O_{41}$ ceramics decreased with sinteirng temperature. The loss tangent of permeability was not changed compared each other with sintering temperature. The bulk density of $Ba_3Co_2Fe_{24}O_{41}$ ceramics sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ was 4.79 g/$cm^3$. The permittivity, loss tangent of permittivity and permeability, loss tangent of permeability were 19.896, 0.1718 and 14.218, 0.2046 at 210 MHz, respectively.

The permittivity profile of PCB substrate in a wide bandwidth is obtained by applying the moment method to the reflection coefficients measured by an open-ended coaxial probe. In this paper, the relation between a reflection coefficients and the corresponding permittivity is expressed into an integral form and the reflection coefficient of PCB substrates with different thickness are calculated using the dispersive FDTD method. The simulation results assure the validity of our conversion procedure within $2.015\%$ error.

The present study addresses the problem of quantitative prediction of effective complex relative permittivity of Barium Titanate/Polyvenylidene Fluoride (PVDF) and $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_{0.94}Ba_{0.06}TiO_3$/Poly(VDF-TrFE) biphasic ceramic-polymer composites. Theoretical results for effective relative permittivity derived from several dielectric mixture equations were fitted to the experimental data taken from the works of Prasad et al. (2010), Wang et al. (2004), Takenaka et al. (1991) and Yamada et al. (1982). The study revealed that out of the different test equations, only a few equations like modified Rother-Lichtenecker equation, Dias-Dasgupta equation or Rao equation for the real part and Bruggeman equation for the imaginary part of complex permittivity well fitted the corresponding experimental results. In the present study, some of the equations were used in their original forms, while some others were modified by choosing suitable shape-dependent parameters in order to get reasonably good agreement with experimental results. Besides, the experimental results have been proposed in the form of a mathematical model using first order exponential growth, which provided excellent fits.

This paper describes the results of electrical characteristics assessment for organic insulations of polyethylene(PE) series insulations and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer(ABS). In the experiment, 4 kinds of specimens by composition density were tested in relative permittivity, specific resistance and tracking duration. A WinDETA system and a tracking test set manufactured for this assessment were used to measure the dielectric parameters and tracking duration, respectively. In measuring the tracking duration, the time from testing voltage application to testing circuit breaking due to the tracking current was measured. As a result, dielectric dispersion was observed in measuring the relative permittivity of ABS. It was confirmed that the relative permittivity decreased with the density of the PE series insulations and it depends rather on the temperature than frequency. In most specimens, specific resistance exponentially decreased with frequency and the result for each specimen was almost similar. By the way, in the tracking test, all the PE series insulations showed more excellent performance than ABS and especially in the case of HDPE, its tracking withstand performance was the best.

This study evaporates ZnO layer thickness differently with RF sputtering method on Si Wafer(n-100). This study is performed to examine the characteristics of photon energy and dielectric loss according to the thickness of ZnO and increase the reliability and reproduction of ZnO thin film. It is confirmed that the variation of electric Permittivity by frequency is resulted from the formation of particles within thin film, the particle size and the polarization on grain boundary. Peak of electric Permittivity value of thin film has slower and less value in early low wavelength by the coulomb force involved in carrier combination according to the increase of frequency. Reversal of electric Permittivity values is induced by dipole polarization shown in the dielectric of thin film. Complex electric constant $({\varepsilon}_1{\varepsilon}_2)$ has larger peak values as it’s thickness is thinner and then it is larger according to the increase of frequency. Electric Permittivity by photon energy has large value in imaginary number and is reduced exponentially by the increase of carrier density according to that of photon energy.

Complex permittivity of dry sand is measured by using an open-ended coaxial probe, which was self-designed and manufactured. As a simple calibration scheme of the probe, the phase difference between the measured and the calculated reflection coefficients of pure water is subtracted from the phase of the measured reflection coefficient for dry sand. And then the complex permittivity of dry sand is reconstructed by applying its measured reflection coefficient into an improved imaginary transmission-line model. The accuracy of our measurement scheme is verified by showing that its reconstructed complex permittivity approaches the precise value of dry sand.

As a key component of lighting location system (LLS) for lightning warning, the atmospheric electric field measuring is required to have high accuracy. The Conventional methods of the existent electric field measurement meter can only detect the vertical component of the atmospheric electric field, which cannot acquire the realistic electric field in the thunderstorm. This paper proposed a three dimensional (3D) electric field system for atmospheric electric field measurement, which is capable of three orthogonal directions in X, Y, Z, measuring. By analyzing the relationship between the electric field and the relative permittivity of ground surface, the permittivity is calculated, and an efficiency 3D measurement model is derived. On this basis, a three-dimensional electric field sensor and a permittivity sensor are adopted to detect the spatial electric field. Moreover, the elevation and azimuth of the detected target are calculated, which reveal the location information of the target. Experimental results show that the proposed 3D electric field meter has satisfactory sensitivity to the three components of electric field. Additionally, several observation results in the fair and thunderstorm weather have been presented.
