This method is based on a combination of measurements and computations and allows one to handle multiwire cables too. Some curves of the complex transfer impedance for coaxial and multiconductor cables are presented. The coupling phenomena in inhomogeneous cable arrangements are discussed. The screen of a cable loop is excited by an external source and the signal which couples into the cable is calculated and measured. The calculation uses the determined cable transfer impedances. In the frequency domain an excitation by a second loop is discussed. For direct excitation results are presented in the time domain.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":154914,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124949985","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 electromagnetic fields existing in the operating rooms are created by both distant sources such as AM and FM broadcast towers as well as local sources such as electrosurgical units. In this paper, results are presented of electric field strengths created by a typical electrosurgical unit. The field strengths are given as a function of frequency. Electric fields as large as 44 V/m were measured 1 meter from the electrosurgical unit. Interference was observed on monitoring equipment in the operating room during operation of the electrosurgical unit. Measurement results can be used by both the manufacturers of medical equipment as well as appropriate standards organizations when evaluating how to minimize the severity of electromagnetic interference in operating rooms.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":154914,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115543108","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}

Also, the ideas upon which these designs are based are discussed.

The second consists of modeling the discharge current directly by discretizing the current density term in the Maxwell equations. The second offers obvious advantages in that the discharge can be modeled close to inhomogeneities such as circuit board traces and chip leads.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":154914,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125682293","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}

Measurements were made of coupling and antenna factor (AF) for a standard gain dipole as a function of distance from an identical source. Coupling and AF were also computed using two electromagnetic computer codes to compare the numerical results with each other and with the measurements. The coupling measurements were made in an anechoic chamber using two identical standard gain dipoles at 300 MHz, both with and without a ground plane. In the case with a ground plane, both horizontal and vertical polarizations were examined. Distances were varied to cover from the very near-field to the far-field of the antenna. Measured values of the AF at 300 MHz were frequency scaled to predict the AF at 30 MHz. In addition to the measurements, the Numerical Electromagnetics Code (NEC) Method of Moments and the General Electromagnetic Model for the Analysis of Complex Systems (GEMACS) were used to calculate coupling and AF values for direct comparison with the measured values.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":154914,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"44 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120963051","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}
