The proposed method enables a sink device-only compliance test by effectively emulating the source devices and channels, which reduces the test time and cost. The effectiveness of the proposed link emulation method is demonstrated by comparing its performance with that of conventional compliance tests.","PeriodicalId":100625,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Letters on Electromagnetic Compatibility Practice and Applications","volume":"6 3","pages":"102-105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142143818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first design combines two types of FSS slots based on the SIWC to display distinct characteristics in terms of their cavity designs and performance. The design consists of a Y-shaped slot in conjunction with an annular slot within a circular cavity. Consequently, the structure exhibits performance features of a sharp roll-off and dual band-stop response across 1.7–2.7 GHz and 4.6–5.6 GHz with a fractional bandwidth 45% and 20%, respectively. The second design comprises a slotted rectangular SIW cavity-based FSS which exhibits a wide band-reject response across 2.9–19.8 GHz with a fractional bandwidth of 149%.

It is known that nonlinear loads pose PQ problems in large grids, but this problem is even more prevalent in smaller grids. However, the typical methods in addressing PQ problems might not be feasible in remote areas because of their challenging characteristics; hence, alternative approaches are needed. This letter investigates the significance of the cable characteristics and the nonlinear load current amplitude \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$(I_{mathrm { load}})$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 on the power losses \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$(P_{mathrm { loss}})$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000, voltage drop \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$(V_{mathrm { drop}})$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000, and total voltage harmonic distortions (THD\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$_{V}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000) to effectively minimize them. The investigated cable parameters were based on the typical cable \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$2times 16$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 mm2 NFA2X. A high value of \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$P_{mathrm { loss}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000, \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$V_{mathrm { drop}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000, and THD\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$_{V}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 was found when the loads were highly nonlinear and the cable length was 1 km.

Therefore, using more parallel conductors (\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$4times 16$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 mm2 NFA2X) as a simple approach was proposed to reduce \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$R_{mathrm { cable}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 and \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$I_{mathrm { load}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 per cable, which resulted in 53%, 53%, and 28% reduction in \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$P_{mathrm { loss}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000, \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$V_{mathrm { drop}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000, and THD\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$_{V}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000, respectively.

However, with the recommended ESD damage test board in IEC 62228-5, mounting and remounting of 0-\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$Omega $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 resistors in the S-parameter measurement route (microstrip lines) are needed, which may cause uncertainty in the S-parameter measurement results. In this letter, we propose and validate an improved ESD damage test board which ensures both S-parameter measurement and ESD application. The proposed test board removed the 0-\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$Omega $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 resistors and the vias of discharge points (DPs) from the microstrip lines between the SMA connectors for connection to a vector network analyzer and the CMC. As a result, the proposed test board was able to reduce the effects caused by the mismatched parts on the microstrip lines. For validation, ESD current waveforms were measured and compared for the original and proposed test boards, with concern for discharge at the SMA connectors. As a result, the proposed test board shows almost the same discharge current waveform as the original test board. In addition, based on the relationship between the applied ESD voltage and the first peak of the discharge current, determining whether a discharge occurs at the SMA connector on the DP side was examined. The result confirmed that the first-order proportional relationship between the ESD voltage and the first discharge peak current was maintained for the proposed test board, which suggests the validity of the proposed test board for the ESD damage test.","PeriodicalId":100625,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Letters on Electromagnetic Compatibility Practice and Applications","volume":"6 3","pages":"89-95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142143636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
