The gap space was set very small for voltages below 1500 V as a simulation of the CDM ESD and the gap discharge of switch devices. The measurement system consists of a distributed constant line system with a tapered coaxial electrode which has a matched impedance for the characteristic impedance of the distributed constant line system. The insertion loss of the tapered coaxial electrode was within -3 dB in the frequency range below 4.5 GHz The atmosphere around the electrode is ordinary air. This experimental system enables one to measure the high speed transients of about 100 ps due to gap discharge in the time domain. As a consequence of the experiment, the relationship between the discharge voltage and transition duration were confirmed. The voltage rise time was slowed down gradually in positive polarity, while the voltage fall time was slowed down remarkably in negative polarity for the 0.1 mm needle.","PeriodicalId":312828,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatability.

A procedure for optimizing the decoupling capacitors based on the fundamental frequency and harmonic frequencies has been illustrated. The optimized decoupling strategy was then implemented on a dual processor board and the emissions were measured in a semi-anechoic chamber.

The thin coatings are often bonded to the display enclosure to allow realization of the maximum shielding. The bonding is often accomplished by the use of a conductive gasket that mates with a busbar on one or more edges of the thin coating. Shielding effectiveness of the coating and gasket configuration is very difficult to predict using traditional shielding effectiveness equations. This paper shows how 3-dimensional (3D) finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation and analysis are used to examine trends in shielding effectiveness with respect to gasket characteristics, thin coating characteristics (thickness and conductivity), and bonding methods. Practical simulation and model setup methods are presented. Results are provided for common configurations.","PeriodicalId":312828,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatability. Symposium Record (Cat.

The non-homogeneous material is simulated by an equivalent non-uniform anisotropic slab, characterized by proper tensors of effective permittivity and conductivity. The analysis of the field propagation through the effective panel is carried out in the frequency-domain, in order to compute the transmission and surface impedance matrices of the panel. The time-domain effective boundary conditions, which describe the relations among the TE and TM field components tangential to the external faces of the slab, are expressed in terms of the transient transmission and surface impedance matrices. The model is implemented in a three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain procedure and is applied to the analysis of the field penetration inside a composite box illuminated by an impulsive plane wave.","PeriodicalId":312828,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatability.

The cloud-lightning channel system is modelled by employing a perfectly conducting sphere placed above a thin-wire vertical antenna excited by a lightning current at the ground level. The current distribution in the channel is derived by a transmission line model found in technical literature. The ground is considered perfectly conductive. Different examples related to various channel lengths and sphere radii are reported in the paper, by stressing the different behaviour with and without the cloud. A comparison with recorded data available in literature, enables to qualitatively validate the results computed by means of the proposed model.","PeriodicalId":312828,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatability.
