The use of a flat splash reflector makes it possible to build the system without a rotary joint.

It is experimentally and quantitatively clarified in the relationship among circuits malfunction, line length difference, ground potential level, and fluctuation frequency that the difference in each other's propagation is transformed to DC power supply fluctuation and signal-level fluctuation, and can be the cause of circuit malfunction.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":243730,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126957035","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 most cases this frequency is out-band with respect to the UHF-band of the antenna. Measurements were performed to study these coupling effects. The induced voltage waveform on the 50 Omega termination was directly related to the waveform of the current on the outer shield of the cable. Because of the rather small dimensions of the antenna/cable combination, the induced signals were not dependent on the length of the simulated pulse, but only on the rise-time and peak value.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":243730,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121300184","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}

Readings are acquired and averaged over a 6-min period corresponding to the rise time of the core body temperature. These values are stored for up to six months.
