A 30 m × 11 m × 6 m reverberation chamber, developed as part of our research program, has been modified to incorporate a TEM (Transverse electromagnetic) mode of operation, with a 20 m × 6 m septum as the major component. The ultimate aim is to provide continuity in the available testing frequencies between the TEM and reverberation modes of operation. A validated computational model of the system has been used to investigate the uniformity of the electric field and the power requirements as a function of frequency. Results indicate that below 15 MHz, where pure TEM modes of operation are achievable, field variations of no more than 6 dB are observed over the volume occupied by a representative EUT (equipment under test). In addition, the power required to achieve a field strength of 200 V/m is of the order of 20 kW. Also discussed in this paper, is that at resonant frequencies within the chamber, the situation becomes uncertain and requires further investigation.","PeriodicalId":129073,"journal":{"name":"2009 Electromagnetic Compatibility Symposium Adelaide","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134516150","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}

They are revolutionizing the way companies run their businesses, cars pay tolls and employees access an office in a building. RFID devices are also making their way quickly into other industries including health care where they are used in remote of monitoring equipment, as tiny chips that identify items in inventory, or are even embedded in surgical sponges for tracking during an operation. Although in many regions RFID regulations are very strict and operators must adhere to the standard, the unpredictable environmental effects on radio propagation can change the way that these devices operate. This paper offers a review of important EMC information relevant to RFID system deployment. It also examines the sources of error in simulations reported in some other publications.","PeriodicalId":129073,"journal":{"name":"2009 Electromagnetic Compatibility Symposium Adelaide","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131722619","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}

Method of Moments modelling is applied to determining the field characteristics in the chamber as the stirrer rotates. This demands analysis of many data sets that represent the field parameters of the system for many discrete stirrer positions.

The obtained results show the envelope of electric field intensities at which a PC is susceptible with the minimum and maximum margins. A typical PC can be upset with an electric field strength of 48V/m, whereas an unshielded PC board requires about 9V/m.

Since the switching loss will increase remarkably, an active gate voltage control scheme is developed to improve efficiency of hard switching circuits while the undesirable voltage and/or current spikes are minimized.","PeriodicalId":129073,"journal":{"name":"2009 Electromagnetic Compatibility Symposium Adelaide","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130285782","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 method made use of two loop antennas and a Vector Network Analyser (VNA) to measure the scattering parameters (S21) of varying layers of carbon fibre. Computational Electromagnetic (CEM) modelling of the experimental setup together with a DC surface resistance approximation was then used to match the electromagnetic behaviour. This was achieved by calculating S21 for a range of surface resistance values. A fit between the measured and modelled S21 curves was used to identify the most representative DC surface resistance value for a particular CFC construction which could then be used in models of larger structures. The method showed utility for CFC samples of 2 and 4 layers. However, a 6 layer case demonstrated the technique's limitation at frequencies approaching 30 MHz.","PeriodicalId":129073,"journal":{"name":"2009 Electromagnetic Compatibility Symposium Adelaide","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128226978","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}
