The CF are deposited electrostatically using the flocking process. Micron-sized ferrite beads are then deposited on tips of carbon fibers. The material is lightweight with density of ~0.32 g/in2and its thickness can vary from one to several millimeters. Its absorption is broadband and tunable with respect to frequency response and amount of absorption. The absorber was characterized in X-band using NRL arch measurement in an anechoic chamber. The material exhibited broadband attenuation ranging from around −10 dB at the edges of X-band to a peak of −46 dB at 11.1 GHz. Absorber complex permittivity and permeability were extracted using waveguide measurements. Electromagnetic simulations utilizing extracted parameters were compared with measured data and good agreement was found. Overall extraction process was successfully verified by comparison with a known commercial absorber material. The absorber performance compares favorably with existing solutions.","PeriodicalId":120342,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility, Signal Integrity and Power Integrity (EMC, SI & PI)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127567756","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}

In general timing jitter is divided into random and deterministic jitter, where the latter includes data dependent jitter, which is the focus of this paper, since it can be the dominant cause of jitter and it has proven to be challenging to model. Traditionally, jitter arising in eye-diagrams of high speed channels is modeled using a transient simulation with a length of thousands or millions of bits. This approach can be very time consuming. Hence, statistical eye analysis techniques are developed, providing for fast prediction of eye diagram and jitter [1]. However these techniques are only applicable to linear systems, which can be an important constituent for jitter in high speed channel simulation.","PeriodicalId":120342,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility, Signal Integrity and Power Integrity (EMC, SI & PI)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124498798","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}

This paper proposes a novel method to evaluate the MRI RF induced heating effects of circular external fixation devices utilizing an innovative leg phantom. A number of essential geometrical parameters, i.e. number of screws and wires, ring frame diameter, strut length, and insertion angle were numerically investigated to study the RF induced heating mechanism and behaviors of circular external fixation devices. Numerical results suggest that non-wire configuration with fewer screws, large ring frame size, relatively large strut length and the maximum insertion angle pointing outwards may lead to the worst case MRI RF coil induced heating. The peak spatial average specific absorption rate (SAR) over 1 gram can approach 341.3 W/kg with a 2 W/kg whole body SAR.","PeriodicalId":120342,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility, Signal Integrity and Power Integrity (EMC, SI & PI)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124272098","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}

Previous research has proved that the contents of an enclosure may greatly change the internal field and thus the shielding effectiveness. The power balance method is an efficient approach to analyze shielding problems of populated enclosures. One assumption of the power balance method is that in the steady state, the electromagnetic field in an enclosure is homogeneous. In actual circumstances, however, the presence of losses in an enclosure often compromises the field homogeneity and the power balance method may become inaccurate. A diffusion equation approach has been previously proposed to overcome this problem. In this paper, we predict the internal electromagnetic field of a populated enclosure by using the diffusion model, and compare them with the fields obtained by the power balance method, a fullwave electromagnetic solver and measurements, to demonstrate its efficacy. Comparisons between the diffusion model and the power balance method show that for populated enclosures, the internal electromagnetic field varies with position and that the diffusion model allows this to be observed.","PeriodicalId":120342,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility, Signal Integrity and Power Integrity (EMC, SI & PI)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125323342","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}

Noise sensing networks comprising high voltage capacitors and high pass filter networks are designed for sensing noise.
