It defines the detailed requirements of the measuring system and the methodology of the test. In case of the measurement up to 1 GHz, the antenna height scan is required but there is no regulation regarding the antenna tilt in the current edition of standard. As a result, most laboratories perform measurements of radiated emission with a fixed antenna angle of 0°—the antenna is located in parallel with the ground plane despite the actual height. Knowing that the antenna inclination angle in relation to the emission source affects its characteristics, it can lead to omit the measurement configuration at which the measured field strength is the highest. This letter investigates the influence of receiving antenna inclination angle on measurements of radiated disturbances from a reference emission source and real TV-set.","PeriodicalId":100625,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Letters on Electromagnetic Compatibility Practice and Applications","volume":"5 2","pages":"37-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67861418","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}

Havryliuk","doi":"10.1109/LEMCPA.2023.3281506","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/LEMCPA.2023.3281506","url":null,"abstract":"The problem of ensuring the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the traction network with railway signaling lines is of practical interest, since electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the traction network can cause malfunctions in the signaling systems. In order to ensure the EMC of traction current with track circuits, which are widely used as track vacancy sensors in front of a moving train, EMI in rails is periodically monitored in accordance with their maintenance schedule, which makes it possible to detect excessive increases in the level of interference in the rails in a timely manner and prevent possible failures in signaling systems. The problem of developing embedded systems for continuous monitoring of harmonics in the traction network lies in the need to ensure the necessary measurement accuracy of the interference monitoring system for a traction network in accordance with the strict requirements of standards. The correct choice of control system parameters is difficult because the traction current is a nonstationary random process. In addition, the alternating traction current has a large dynamic range of harmonic values, with their proximity to each other and to a powerful fundamental harmonic, as well as the limitations inherent in the discrete Fourier transform, associated with the impossibility of simultaneously improving the accuracy of measurements in the time and frequency domains. This leads to the need for compromises when choosing the parameters of the monitoring system. The work is devoted to the practice of applying the theory of analog-to-digital conversion and the windowed Fourier transform to develop a technique for correctly choosing the parameters of an EMI monitoring system for traction lines.","PeriodicalId":100625,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Letters on Electromagnetic Compatibility Practice and Applications","volume":"5 3","pages":"77-81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67868213","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 bottom surface of the trace is often rougher than the top surface of the trace, and the roughness levels of different reference planes vary for different foil types and manufacturing processes. To accurately model the additional conductor loss caused by such differences in microstrip lines, a new modeling method is proposed with different roughness levels on different surfaces and a reference plane, in contrast to the traditional roughness modeling approach, which considers a uniform roughness distribution for all surfaces. The effect of the different surfaces on the resistance is determined by applying additional microstrip models to analyze the effect of surface roughness from different surfaces and to improve the accuracy of insertion loss prediction based on the modeled total resistance.","PeriodicalId":100625,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Letters on Electromagnetic Compatibility Practice and Applications","volume":"5 3","pages":"92-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67868217","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}

Due to the eye diagram closure at higher speeds, designers use Tx equalization by placing a finite impulse response (FIR) filter at Tx. Assigning the FIR tap values can be time consuming and require domain expertise since it can require sweeping hundreds or more combinations of tap values. Therefore, in this letter, we propose a machine learning optimization approach to find the FIR tap values which result in the largest eye opening. Conventional optimization techniques may not be applicable in this context since specifications of the channel can require a constraint, which is the sum of the absolute value of the FIR taps needs to be equal to 1. Therefore, we have developed a simplified constrained Bayesian optimization (BO) approach that can automate this process and expedite calculation of the FIR tap values without requiring domain expertise. Numerical examples are provided to show efficiency of the proposed approach and compare its performance with BO and genetic algorithm for this problem.","PeriodicalId":100625,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Letters on Electromagnetic Compatibility Practice and Applications","volume":"5 2","pages":"41-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67861419","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}

Direct power injection (DPI) was performed on these ICs to analyze the impact of applying thermal stress on the conducted immunity to the injection of a single-tone RF disturbance signal. The DPI immunity parameters were measured and recorded in real time for an incident amplified power, while the ICs were exposed to low and high thermal stress conditions. It was demonstrated that the minimum injected power required to reach the defined failure threshold voltage criterion \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$(pm 4$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000%) varied over frequency depending on the ICs. Moreover, these functionally identical ICs showed significant evolution of their conducted immunity in all the considered temperatures, depending on their manufacturer. Input impedance curves were monitored at low, high, and nominal temperatures, showing a noticeable decline of impedance at high frequencies. Moreover, the equivalent \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$RLC$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 values of the lumped elements (i.e., resistor, inductor, and capacitor) were extracted and compared at these aforementioned temperature conditions to model the power supply network impedance for the selected ICs.
