Low-rate rotation of the field polarization is controlled electrically and continuously in a two-dimensional plane, so that radiated immunity/susceptibility characteristics depicted three-dimensionally can be obtained by using a turntable together with the method. This paper describes how to generate the rotating fields, and some experimentally measured characteristics of some examples. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed method to reveal the weak/strong immunity/susceptibility directions at a glance, so that it would be advantageous for trial phase of manufactured products.","PeriodicalId":135321,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th IEEE Instrumentation Technology Conference (Cat.

In this paper, a novel sensing technique to detect angular misalignment of a test probe with a view to ensure automatic alignment of the probe with the target is presented. The technique is based on analyzing the waveform features of the received signals. In this regard, a theoretical formulation concerning the applicability of the method is first reported, followed by a detailed practical study. The technique could be employed for automatic alignment of the test probes in remote ultrasonic inspection.","PeriodicalId":135321,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th IEEE Instrumentation Technology Conference (Cat.

The spectrum of light reflected from the FBG sensor is analyzed using an AWG which acts as a coarse spectrometer. Using measurement points from the AWG channels, the original spectrum of the sensing element is reconstructed by a means of curve fitting. The measurement system is modeled in LabView environment, which allows to modify the FBG and AWG parameters and to simulate the measurement process. This, in turn, allows quantifying the measurement errors resulting from the nonlinearity of the particular FBG/AWG configuration, and allows optimizing the system design for the particular measurement errors permitted. In addition to the simulations of the proposed measurement system, we provide details of the laboratory evaluation.","PeriodicalId":135321,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th IEEE Instrumentation Technology Conference (Cat.
