The sites typically consist of large ground planes. In fact, an infinite metallic plane is impracticable. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile probing the deviation of NSA under the finite metallic plane condition due to a close tie between the metallic plane and the construction cost. As a result, it is required to analyze the length and width of a rectangle metallic plane that influence the NSA. We adopt the GTD method to analyze the NSA deviation by calculating the edge diffraction of the finite metallic plane. From the comparison of the numerical and measured results, the key factor affecting NSA is the width of rectangle metallic plane, which should be regarded as a priority to reduce the NSA deviation under the consideration of the finite test site.","PeriodicalId":359422,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility.

This paper suggests a simple technique to extend the EMI chamber capability to a low-cost fully anechoic chamber (FAC) to characterize the antenna performance. The dimensions of the absorbing cones placed o the reflecting ground surface are based on the Fresnel's zone concept. The receiving antenna operating from 300 MHz to 1 GHz is best located at the corner of the chamber. With the available 2' absorbing cones, the maximum distance between transmitting and receiving antenna of 4.5 meters, and the far-field criteria, the applicable antenna pattern measurement at 300 MHz requires only about 80% of the first Fresnel's zone cone coverage. Within the 0.5/spl times/0.5 m/sup 2/ area, at 60 MHz the worst case field uniformity is about 1.4 dB.","PeriodicalId":359422,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility.

Measurements can be useful, but care is needed when using measurements, since the limitations of the measurement could affect the results significantly.

Engineers should validate their models to ensure the model's correctness, and to help understand the basic physics behind the model. Measurements can be used to validate modeling results, but extreme care must be used to ensure the model correctly simulates the measured situation. Omitting feed cables, shielding or ground reflections, or different measurement scan areas can dramatically change the results. An incorrect model result might be indicated when, in fact, the measured and modeled results are obtained for different situations, and should not be directly compared. Intermediate results can also be used to help increase the confidence in a model. Using the RF current distribution in model, or the animation in a time domain model, can help ensure the overall results are correct by determining the intermediate results are correct. These intermediate results have the added benefit of increasing the engineer's understanding of the underlying causes and effects of the overall problem.","PeriodicalId":359422,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility.

It is well known that these combinations of LPDAs and broadband dipole elements can exhibit anomalous, frequency-dependent behavior especially when the broadband dipole elements are heavily end or top loaded and the antenna is operated in vertical polarization over a conducting ground plane according to S.J. Porter and A.C Marvin (1994). While there is more than one possible source for anomalous behavior in such antennas (as well as in LPDAs), we show here that in situations when the antenna is vertically polarized and situated over a ground plane the principal source of anomalies is related to the so-called asymmetry resonance found in E-plane arrays of LPDAs and LPDAs with inherent structural asymmetry according to Z. Chen (1999) and C.C. Bantin and K.G. Balmain (1970). The asymmetry resonance in LPDAs is associated with the existence of common mode (CM) current on the transmission line feed. We show, for the first time, that, to a limited extent, this anomalous behavior can be mitigated through the proper use of common mode chokes/baluns. Numerical simulations and experimental data are presented to verify both the presence of the externally-induced symmetry and the efficacy of several different balun/choke arrangements.","PeriodicalId":359422,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility.

In PEECs, the extensions from two to three dimensional modeling are mainly in the calculation of the partial self and mutual capacitive couplings.

This results in excessive calculation times if the capacitive calculation routines are poorly constructed. In this paper it is shown that by using local reduction matrices for the capacitive calculations, the calculation time for PEEC model capacitance matrices can be decreased while keeping the accuracy.","PeriodicalId":359422,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility.

The analysis and measurements are performed in the frequency domain over a very wide bandwidth (several decades) using a set of calculable biconical antenna with known complex antenna factors (CAFs) according to S. Ishigami et al. (1996) and J. McLean et al. (2002). The principal advantage of the biconical antennas over typical UWB antennas, such as TEM horns, is that their radiation pattern including phase information is well-behaved and numerically calculable. The minimum scattering features of the radiation patterns of the calculable biconical antennas are crucial to correctly quantifying the reflection characteristics of an OATS. The normalized complex site transfer function according to J. McLea et al. (2002) is derived from complex 2-port measurements made with pairs of such antennas and an automatic vector network analyzer can then be used to derive the time-domain characteristics, e.g. the impulse response, of the site via Fourier transform techniques. Numerical simulations and experimental characterization of the time-domain response of representative OATs will be presented highlighting the non-ideal behavior of such sites including ground plane edge reflection/diffraction and imperfect specular reflection.","PeriodicalId":359422,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility.

Twisted pair wire with ferrite core was modeled by 4-port network to evaluate suppression effect. Parameters of the networks which are constructed with UTP cable or ferrite core with wires were determined from calculation and measurement. Using the networks, the common-mode current distribution on the cable was obtained, and emitted electric field strength was calculated from the distribution. The emission suppression effect was obtained from the result, and the results were almost agreed with measured value. The calculation results suggest that 1) the ferrite cores should be arranged side by side, 2) these should be placed near the signal supply end of the cable.","PeriodicalId":359422,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility.
