The most notable change has been the adoption and use of the international standard CISPR Publication 22 for computers and similar information technology equipment. Because of the trend towards globalization of markets, the FCC is considering additional changes to its Rules, particularly in the area of conformity assessment. An update of the FCC Rules and some insights of staff thinking for proposed changes to the Rules are discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":154914,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"32 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":"127857558","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 absorption characteristics of the multi-layer absorber can be largely extended compared with the single sintered ferrite layer. Moreover, it is shown that the site attenuation characteristics satisfy the FCC standard for 3 m and 10 m transmission distance (3 m method and 10 m method) in the anechoic chambers in which the novel absorbers are fitted. The wall thickness of the novel anechoic chamber can be made thinner of less than 90 mm. Consequently, the anechoic chamber for the 3 m method can reduce its installation area to about 60% of the conventional one.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":154914,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"1 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":"128977032","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}

An experimental implementation of the sensors in a 1.0 /spl mu/m CMOS technology is presented and the crosstalk measurements are compared to the simulation predictions. The results show high crosstalk noise close from the commutation point of the logic.

The computation of the nodal admittance or impedance matrix coefficients of the linear part of the network is required in the frequency-domain, in order to obtain the corresponding transient functions by the inverse discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The model-based parameter estimation (MBPE) technique is applied to improve the efficiency of the method in case of large-dimension configurations. The developed procedure allows to represent transcendent functions over very wide bandwidths by using only the coefficients of their rational approximating functions. Good accuracy and considerable reduction of the computation-time are achieved. The EMP-induced effects on three signal mesh-type networks, having increasing geometrical complexity, with nonlinear loads, are calculated in order to assess the efficiency of the proposed method.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":154914,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"28 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":"133885090","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}

If the upset threshold was within the limits of the test program and the capabilities of the R/sup 2/SPG, significant upsets generally required 3 to 10 Amperes, even in unhardened systems. \"Snow\" on visual displays occurred at smaller currents. As expected, some of the more modern systems had lower thresholds and more frequent upsets than older systems with less digital circuitry. However, some digital systems were found to be immune to upset of damage up to very high levels. None of the systems were damaged by the test. This tentatively confirms the statement that \"upset occurs before damage.\".<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":154914,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"1 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":"129687985","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}
