The screws with suitable sizes are implanted in four regions (hip, knee, shoulder, and wrist) for each human model. From the simulation results, the RF-induced heating near the device shows significantly difference within the models. Consequently, the clinically relevant RF induced heating can be patient specific and needs to be investigated individually.","PeriodicalId":189322,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility & Signal/Power Integrity (EMCSI)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132352160","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 lowered B0 field homogeneity leads to an increase in the working bandwidth. A wideband RF coil helps to guarantee the excitation and reception of signals within a targeted field of view (FoV).

However, not all systems are able to overcome the incurred overhead by those Error Correction Codes. As a solution to the overhead, engineers opted for a Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) technique to encode two bits into a single symbol. This line-coding technique, called PAM-4, reduces the overhead that is imposed by the Error Correction Codes. A trade-off for the reduced overhead is a reduced noise margin between each individual symbol. It is the goal of this paper to assess if different techniques and measures can be applied towards both the Error Correction Codes and the line coding to provide resilience against harsh electromagnetic conditions. This paper focuses on the occurrence of False Negatives: corrupted data deemed valid. By using a combination of techniques, it is possible to significantly reduce the amount of False Negatives within the Error Correction Codes.","PeriodicalId":189322,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility & Signal/Power Integrity (EMCSI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130874514","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 results illustrate that the asymmetric dual bend scheme can provide 10+ dB improvement for Scd21 in stripline layout and nearly 5dB improvement for microstrip layout.
