Due to the method only the antenna and the slot need to be discretized into small elements, which are then represented as electrically small dipole moments, which radiate in the respective region. Once the equivalent dipole moments are known, the generated fields can easily and efficiently be calculated everywhere. The method and the results are validated with the method of moments for the internal and external region and very good agreement can be noted.","PeriodicalId":332251,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility - EMC EUROPE","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114976725","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}

A modern hospital with various kinds of wireless medical electronic equipment especially in the intensive care, operation theatre, neonatology, etc., pollutes the environment by creating electromagnetic interference with other equipment in the vicinity or even implanted equipment inside the patient. Even following the IEC 60601-1-2 product standard for medical equipment which is based on a rule-based approach, suppressing electromagnetic interference effectively is an arduous task. In the upcoming years, the number of wireless devices in a modern hospital will significantly increase and might cause EMC instability in this highly complex system. Hence, an urgent requirement for an advanced and smarter approach leads to the use of a risk-based EMC approach. The detrimental effect of intentional sources causing electromagnetic interference in the hospital environment is briefly discussed. The risk-based EMC approach has been applied in the Medisch Spectrum Twente hospital, where it was discovered that wireless devices such as digital mobile radio, cell phone, and radio frequency identification equipment critically affect equipment pumps and patient monitors.","PeriodicalId":332251,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility - EMC EUROPE","volume":"121 21","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120818686","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 EMI detector can detect unwanted electromagnetic (EM) disturbances and generate a warning, which can help the system to follow a precautionary procedure. The performance of the EMI detector is analysed by simulating a random pattern of transmitted bits through a wired channel in the presence of (continuous wave) EMI with varying amplitude, phase, frequency and phase difference between the lines in the inverted data pair. This performance itself is determined by two main metrics: (I) false positives, the number of generated warnings when there is no bit error and, (II) false negatives, the number of bit errors without any warning given by the detector. An ideal EMI detector would have zero false positives and zero false negatives. In this paper, the goal is mainly to reduce the number of false negatives. The EMI detector can be made by using low-cost electronics. It works quite effectively in most of the cases and works better than other detectors presented before in literature.","PeriodicalId":332251,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility - EMC EUROPE","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125902219","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 model combines the worst case nature of intermodulation level prediction (which is a distinctive feature of conventional methods for analysis of intermodulation) with the high speed of computations (which is implemented by the use of the discrete nonlinear analysis technology).
