The coatings consist of thermal control films or nanometric metallo-dielectric layers. Electromagnetic shielding, optical transmittance, heat control, and thermal de-icing are the multifunctional performances of the proposed coatings. A circuit approach is developed for the prediction of the shielding effectiveness of electrically small apertures loaded with the transparent coating. The hypotheses of electrically short planar structure and large cavity are assumed. Applications of the proposed procedure are carried out to the window of a building and of a transportation aircraft. Measured and computed spectra of the shielding effectiveness and optical transmittance are presented in the radio frequency range.","PeriodicalId":129073,"journal":{"name":"2009 Electromagnetic Compatibility Symposium Adelaide","volume":"11 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":"131807858","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}

Anderson","doi":"10.1109/EMCSA.2009.5349769","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/EMCSA.2009.5349769","url":null,"abstract":"Just as for measured evaluations, the calculation of ambient levels of radiofrequency (RF) electric and magnetic fields for hazard assessments can entail random uncertainty, the extent of which depends on: how well the method of analysis approximates the governing electromagnetic equations (i.e. Maxwell's equations); how closely the modeled object represents its real counterpart in form and composition, and; computational round off error. While uncertainty estimates are commonly required for RF measurements, they are rarely provided for calculated assessments. In this paper, a process for calculating uncertainty for calculated assessments is proposed. It incorporates a series of validation tests which are used to gauge the uncertainty in the computational technique and round off error. The comparator in the validation tests must be independent of the technique (e.g. measurement of antenna gain) and may vary for different types of analyses (e.g. full wave solutions vs ray tracing methods). Variational targets are set for the validation tests, and the uncertainty estimate for computational uncertainty diminishes as more tests are passed. Once determined in this way, the standard uncertainty for computational technique is then combined in a multiplicative model with standard uncertainties for other influence quantities such as forward power to the antenna and field scattering effects of nearby objects. By using the proposed approach, it will be possible to provide systematic corrections and uncertainty estimates for calculated assessments as they are for RF measurements, thereby allowing meaningful comparisons between them.","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":"129249612","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 analyses the worst case conditions for co-site radiated interference between a switched mode power supply certified to MIL-STD-461B and a wideband radio receiver system. The analysis suggests that despite the application of MIL-STD-461 and a RF isolation sub-chassis for the sensitive RF receiver elements, there remains a risk that the system noise floor and hence the minimum discernible signal level will be affected by the nearby high power switched mode power supply. This paper only addresses theoretical performance and the result highlights the need for testing of the components to identify whether further interference mitigation measures are required as part of the installation package. Unfortunately, neither candidate receiver or power supply elements were available for testing prior to this drafting of this paper. This paper discusses the radiated emissions aspects of MIL-STD-461. The conducted emissions (passed along the power and control lines) are likely to be more significant than radiated emissions, but may be manageable through the suitable application of in-line filters. Careful consideration should also be given to radiated emissions from the wires leading into the power supply. These lines may also require filtering.","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":"128596086","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 this work, we explore the use of inductive coils fabricated using flexible circuit technologies for inductive powering of the implanted prosthetic device. We found that manufacturing technologies dictate the optimum operating frequency of the coil. For a minimum track width and spacing of 4 mils, the optimum frequency was found to be 2.9 MHz. We also looked at the distribution of electric and magnetic fields generated by the inductive coils in and surrounding the eye. These simulation results show that there are electric field concentrations around the conductive coils. Apart from the coils, we need to design an efficient circuit to drive the transmit coil and recover the transmitted power. In order to maintain optimal operation of the link, a closed-loop load modulation feedback operation is proposed. Adaptive control using back-telemetry of the induced voltage on the secondary side can close the power supply loop and result in optimum power transfer by boosting the supply voltage on the primary side when load is high and reducing this voltage when load is small.","PeriodicalId":129073,"journal":{"name":"2009 Electromagnetic Compatibility Symposium Adelaide","volume":"82 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":"124540292","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}

It is necessary to keep the busbar stray inductance as low as possible to decrease overvoltage and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) noise. In this paper, the effect of different transient current loops on busbar physical structure of the highvoltage high-level diode-clamped converters will be highlighted.
